"All right Mr. Hillyer," be said, "come in." i In a moment the ' merchant opened the great rattling door in front and came slowly back to his clerk's apart ment. "Git back in bed," said he. "I've got my overcoat on f an my teeth are chatterin'. I feel like I wasn't nothin' but skin an' bones," "Why, It's not cold, Mr. Hillyer." Buckley was now dressed, all but his coat and'' he "hastily drew It on and sat down on the bed. Hillyer re mained standing In the middle of the room, staring wide eyed and pale faced at his clerk. Then he bethought him self of a chair "and drew one to him' and sank into It. "You went, to call-on Miss Lydia to night, didn't you, George V "Yes, sir, I was there till about 10 -o'clock." "Makin' any progress, George? I mean ' v'Tmvndti frying to make 'any prog ress, Mr. Hillyer," said the young man quickly. "We are simply friends that's alL" It was as if the merchant had not heard the reply to his question. , He stared blankly at Brfckley for a mo ment ahd then, with-a groan, he burled his face in-'fas Binds and rocked back and forth like a masln pain.

All I want Is a verdict the verdict I dodged so long ago." The next day about 10 o'clock, as George was returning home and was within a mile of town, he saw his em ployer emerge from a clump of per simmon trees on the edge of the road and walk toward him. He was almost a nervous wreck; his eyes were blood shorahdhIs gray hair dlsheveled. "I couldirt wait fer you to git to town," he said, looking up and jjown the road furtively, as if afraid some one might be coming, "and so I walked out I come away from the warehouse Jest after breakfast an'.

He would have come to see you, he said, but be thought yon might not want to be reminded of the past He actually cried when I told him of your sufferings. He said it was your influence that bad made him try to lead a better life. He said his protection of yon in that case was the one thing la all his life that, he was proud of. He declared be would do it over again. He's got In(?-some new religion. 1 don't know what it is, but it is rt exactly orthodox. He says it would have been wrong to pun tsh " a' man for a thing he regretted as much as you did? that act and that he' was glad he yielded to the impulse to help you." . "Oh, George, you don't mean" A great sob rose in Hillyer's breast and burst; his red eyes were full of tears "He says he is proud of what he did to save you from further trouble," George went on tenderly. "He says if you had gone to prison for life it would have wrecked your career, but that his testimony spared you to go on better ing the World. Hs beard a lot about you.
