(ne nfteni.mil. lis Mi was retiirn'.ni!
from his work at the ulli.v, he met Mis.
l;i;io:it in the entranee to the Hat. He
tipped his hat with a pleasant "Rood day"
and was i lmut to pass on, w lieu tile land
lady addressed him.
"Have you seen my new tenants, Mr.
l'.rettV"
"No," said he, "w ho are I hey 7"
"A yuuiiK lady with her mother New
York people."
"Ah:" said Max. with a merry smile.
-Tell uie all about them, please."
"They eiiine here yesterday. The young
lady is remargin. y handsome. She is u
rery tine silicer, and soinethili of an art
ist. I believe. Her mother has leased
the npartmeuts for six months. i that
we shull have every opportunity of Ih
oimitiK acquainted with our new ueinh
born." "And still." said l'.rett, "you have not
mentioned the name of this fair addition
the the Ilupont eolony7"
"Auuetta Speiner, but "
Here their conversation was interrupt
ed by footsteps on the slnirs, and thej
lrh Itwikcd up to see who it mitfht be.
A tail, slender tin ure, wrapped in a
lieavy jtray eloak, appeared, displaying
the graceful outline and movements of a
yotitiK woman. Her hat (a sure index to
a woinun's taste and judgment) was very
simple, but elegant and faultless iu its
very nimplieity.
So that ho miirht not nhstrui't the pas-s.-iko.
and that he uiik'ht at the same time
view, unobserved, this strange lady. Max
vtepped into n recess on one side i the
hall. When the grl reached the lowest
tip she paused a moment to question
Mrs. Ilupont in regard to a ceriain ad
ilress, thus fc'iviiii; Mr. l'.rett the oppor
tunity of studyitu' her features. In the.
short time at his disposal lie noticed land
never fortfot) a pair of law, expressive
blue eyes, a luxurious mass of wavy so!d
eii hair, a perfect tircciau nose that was
delicate in its perfection, and a pair of
thin, linn lips that denoted, a- ho knew
full well, a srr. iij; moral ehurm tcr and a
titeniltast purpose.
"Well," said Mrs. Iup.iif, amased at
Hreft's enthiisiiisui, which was ipiite ap
parent, although unspoken, "what do jou
think of her:"
"1 think." he replied. erv quietly, "that
she Is u lady." lint by the way iu which
the youns man uttered that last word
anyone could nave known that Max Itrett
meant iar more than the general use ,.f
the term lady commonly implies ti i n the
surface. He meant all that the word
should imply - all that it implied w hen ut
tered reverentially by loyal knights iu the
old (lavs of chivalry. True. Max Itrett
was u nineteenth century American and
n man who nppreciaosl the hurly-burly oi
life ill t'hica'jo: hut Max IJrctl was none
the less a gen: Ionian.
"Ily the way. can't you help me do

JSrctt. "Me is k'etiiii.: quite melain holj ."

pocket on my approach, l'.ut here hit is.

Kii'hards took Hrett by t!io anil, nud
they entered their joint tilting risiin to
Bother. "Itrett," said Richards, abruptly. "I
have just nnanc.-d with Kuse iV Com
pany to leave them at once. In fact. I
am through with them, and 1 intend to
leave Chicago this night."
"What Is the matter7" inquired the as
tonished Max. "Nothing wrong": No
one sick:"
"No, no. I nm going solely to please
myself."
"'an't yon postpone your departure for
a short time? 1 jiiHt promised to drag
you out to spend to morrow evening. Hot
ter stay. Lot's have uupper and talk
things over afterward."
"My dear fellow." said Uichards, wear
ily, "it's no use. I've got to go. I cannot
explain, and it would do no good to cither
of lis if I did. If I evev see you again, as
I sincerely hope I may, I will tell jou of
myself. Sutlico it to say, at present, that
1 am paying the penalty of an old misstep.
You know all the old sayings. Hrett,
about 'wild oats,' and so forth. The good
Hook says that 'those who sow the wind
must roup the whirlwind'--well, the whirl
wind has struck me. That's all. ltait
coine," he added, "let us take onu uioro
meal together."
It was uot a very merry supior which
the two friend sat down to. for theso
young meu, so entirely different in dispo
sition and temperament, had grown much
attached to each other, and neither of
them liked the idea of this sudden part
ing. At S o'clock Uichards shook hands with
Max, picked up his grtpsai k nud started
off.
He had boon gone nearly two hours be
fore Max stirred from his comfortable
chair. 1 1 it missed his old companion asi
much as if their frieinl.shi;i had extended
over six years instead of six weeks, ami
he whs quite at n loss what to do next.
1 lo tiegau to pace up and down the sitting
room, and it wns not long before his eyes
rested upwii n miniature portrait doubt
loss the very one which Kioh.irds had
so hastily hidden from his gae. Max
picked up the picture and examined it, ami
a curious sensation thrilled him as he read
and re read the inscription on the back
of the jeweled ease which hold the iir
trait. ilancing at his watch, l'.rett reach
e.l f .r his hat ami toft his apartments in
u violent hurry.
CIIAPTLU IV.
Among the "old timers" In the "llu
pout colony," as Max lirott had facetious
ly tormisl the tlat, an invitation to spend
un evening hour with the genial landlady
was always accepted with a good deal of
pleasure. Mrs. Spencer must have gained
a knowledge of this fact, for she promptly
responded with a cordial ucceptuuee fur
herself and her daughter when Mrs. lu
poiit asked her to join her ul "tire o'clock
tea."
'nms, when, ou the evening after their
conversation in the hallway. Mux entered
(of course without his friend) the coy
npartmeuts reserved by tlm landlady, he
found the ladies from New York ulrvudy
there. Ilu found iu Mrs. Spencer a well
preserved old lady, who cordially extend
i'd her hand and smiled upon the young
mini Tory graciously wheu he was intro
duced, hut when Hrett was presented to
the younger lady she responded by the
most formal of cold and formal hows a
recognition which seemed to intimate that
she considered she hud been inveigled into
the acquaintance of a Chicago man
ngainst her wishes and without her con
currence; indeed, the coldness of the girl
might have congealed the Idood in the
veins of almost any other man hut Mux
Hri'tt.
Hut Max was hardly the sort of man to
show disappointment even when he felt
it. He was tis thorough a man of the
world and naturally too buoyant to be
embarrnssed by the whim of a woman.
Yet the marked contrast between mother
and daughter rather battled him, clover
and successful student of human nature
as ho was. and he resolved to take u little
time iu nttenipliiii.' to form this sphiux-
ike young woman's acquaintance, lirott
' was a persistent young man, how ever,
land ho had not the slightest intent. on of
giving up his elf oris nt the tirst sotoack:
but it was not until after tea was ..er
that he again vcutured to directly address
Annette. Now. Max Hrett was a very clover
ruling man. I'ossihly he wmild have made
a good general, for he know quite well
that, in attacking a young lady, as iu at
tacking a city or fortiticatioii. the tirt
important matter is to discover n weak
point, l'or the time doing Max was an oil
man -and, up to date, a most successful
and valuable employe of Uosc V Com
pany. Hut, if iio wa able to. it was his
privilege as an American citizen to dahhle
iu ami talk about uilhics, religion, music,
painting, the drama, the money market
or l.toratnro. Itrett could do all this, and
more; ho was able by a few q lick strokes
of a pencil to produce on a s. r ip of pap. r
or in the Ily -leaf of a bock, a funny cari
cature or a correct portrait, and ho was
always posted on the latest comic and
sentimental songs, w!iic!i ho eould si,r'
iu a pleasant baritone v. .ice, accompany
ing hinivelf well on the piano. So. as the
evening w ore on, the two older ladies hav
ing settled down to compare notes as to
the latest knitting stitch. Miss Spencer's
formality relaxed iiuJ the coolness, which
she hnd at first seemed determined to
display, warmed considerably. In fact,
long before Mrs. Spencer suggested l.'io
necessity for breaking up the little parly.
Miss Annette and Mr. Max Itrett were
seated very closely together-so closely
that the crisp, short hair of the young
man frequently got iu the way of the
wavy golden hair.
"Love at lirst sight" is rather out of
dale, they say, and yet there was some
thing inarvelously like it in Mrs. Kuponi's
parlor that evening, the victim being no
other than our lively jming man of the
world, Mr. Max Hrett. And lie. who
bad more than unco boasted that ho
xvouhl never strike his colors to any wom
an, but would remain forever n free lance
.Hid a rover, did liol even try to deny t In;
1'jit't to himself. Indeed, after he had said
pooil-nighl to his hostess and the Spen
cers, nud while he puffed ul a cigar as he
rocked himself gently ill his favorite arm
chair, ho thought it would not bo half a
bad plan to go right ahead nnd make an
unconditional surrender to the girl with
the wavy golden hair.
ciLrTi:i: v.
The pleasant evening in Mrs. Ilupotit's
parlor was but the forerunner of many
other meetings between Max l'.rett and
Miss Spoiieer, n:id day by day- as tin
days merged into weeks - the bond of
friendship hi'twecn fheirt KtrenK'-nuuv-.l.
They wore Hi row a so nnn-li together ami
Max was so persistent that tiowral even
ings each week ton ml the young nun.
awaiting the pleasure of his "golden
haired idol," as, with some pardnua'ol
exaggeration, he was wont iu his own
mind to cali Annette. The young lady
seemed well pleased lo receive his atten
tions, while Mrs. Spolner at nil limes
exhibited a lively interest in llrett's wel
fare, for which he fell grateful.
And yet, although Max knew that his
own regard for Annette was quickly rip
ening into a strong and ardent affection,
ho felt that "love making" was almost
impossible with Ai tie. Willi all hi r
f ra Ms friendlineos there was a something
vvhioh heeuicd ever to 'intimate that ho
must keep at n respectful distajce.
Ixive cannot always adapt ilsolf to -Ir-cumstances.
nor can it bo easily shelved
an I forgotten. Max was iu lovr. although
he had all his life desired not to be. Not
only so; now that he was iu love, he dis-.
rovered that he harbored w ithin his hosoia
nn imp of the green eyed monster! Yes.
the jovial, lighi-hciirteil, liappy-go-linky
Max Hrett was jealous, nnd for the life
of him ho could not himself understand,
lunch less explain, why he should be.
lie had never attempted to breathe one
word of love into Annette's car, yet when
he peered into the depths of her large blue
eyes he i-ould see lor imagined that he
could see) a world of love shndowed by
a cloud of sorrow nud doubt.
This perplexed Max, who, cosmopolitan
and experienced as he was, was a per
fect novice in the manners and customs
of the vassals and serfs of Unit merciless
autocrat, Cupid. Heing of a rather orig
inal nnd imaginative turn of mind, he
worked Annette's nppareut sadness up
into a tnnss of probable nnd improbable
circumstances and situations, that would
have reflected seriously upon his sanity
had ho ever dared to make them known
to his friends.
He Isire this mental discomfort, which
was rapidly becoming acute mental tor
ture, for several weeks, and when a month
hud passed began to weigh hU chances,
and one evening, very simply, Max told
Annette of his love. Very quietly the an
swer came the very answer which Max
had hoped would not be his, but which
he had all along dreaded.
"You are kind and generous," said she,
"but I cannot must not encourage your
love."
There was silence for some inor.ietits, a
il-nco which was broken by Hrett.
"Will you tell me why':" he asked, in
a voice which sounded verj much Mil.
ducd and disappointed.
"Siii'-e you ask mi- and because yon
have honored mo as much as a man can
honor a woman yes, I will tell jou,
though it is a story which. I fear, will not
greatly interest you. l'or two years my
motli"r nud 1 have guarded the sei ret
which t am about tn confide to you, but I
feel sure that it will be safe with you.
Shall . go on 7"
"Yes, if you will," said Max, "you may
rely on my honor."
"For years." she proceeded, "the Spen
cers wen' a happy and united family, liv
ing in New York city, where my father
was a successful business man. 1 had un
only brother. Harry, who was kind, af
fectionate and dutiful until he wus al
most n man. when he fell into bad com
pany, lie frequently came home intoxi
cated, and 1 think his bud behavior hast
ened our father's death. At any rale,
poor father died suddenly, leaving his
business lo Harry. Then for a while my
brother kept Tory straight and was his
old self. Hut the large means at his dis
posal offered too many temptations, and
from bnd he went to worse. Meanwhile
he had become engaged to be married to a
beautiful young lady, the only daughter
of a wealthy merchant and old friend of
my father's. The day of the wedding ap
proached, but Harry did not improve in
his habits. He married the young laily--but
disappeared the next day and has not
been heard of since. What became of him
we do not know. Mother nnd I have
heard nothtne mat would give us ;h faint
est clew. Hut we are determined lo tind
Harry or learn his fate, and as wo have
failed by striving iu the Kast. we have
come on to Chicago to pursue our investi
gations from this point. We cannot af
ford to employ detectives- though we have
done that but wo fully expect to be re
warded with some information before
very long. Only, my friend, marriage for
me is out of the question until 1 mk d
in some degree,"
Max l'.rett certainly admired and loved
Annette no es for this slatomeut of her
unselfish ilotorui ination.
"Lot mo aid you, if possible," he s.i. 1.
"Surely, I am interested. iniw7 The so.iii
or we sa.i d, the sooner I may catir
tain some hope, may 1 not':"
Annette smiled quietly, but made no
reply.
"Have you a photograph of vour l.r.'.h
or':" asked Max.
"Yes; I will show it to Voll."
So saying, she prodmvil from a small
writing case the phot. -graph of a str.k
ingly handsome young man.
Hrett gazed upon it in aiuaitn cit am!
only by an effort p-vv. tiled himself from
uttering a loud ejaculation. Hut Annetii
noticed his excitement and exol.ini.c I :
"You have scon him':"
"Yes." ho replied, "right here in t'lr
oago. Hut I am certain ho is tie iori.c
,n the city, and whore he is I hav.' iiui
the faiu'est notion. Of course, I may In
mistaken, ,et 1 think not. I shall ui-ike it
my business to Iind out. In a day or two
1 iutcad to start cut on a voyage of discov.
err, for I think f can arrange with the
linn for an cxloiiiled leave of absence.
You may rely on me, Annette."
That evening Max held a council of
war, followed up by a session of com
mittee on ways and menus, iu both of
which deliberative ms.--ioI.1ics he had it
pretty much his own way.
In one hand ho hold the miniature loft
behind by Henry Itiehnrds nud in the oth
er he grasped the photograph of Harry
Spencer, which he had borrowed of An
nette. The face in the miniature was that
of Hreti's cousin. Kiuily Satlcrthwaito.
The photograph of Spencer was also the
portrait of Hi. hards!
This was a pretty good starting point
for a litile amateur deiei live vvoiU. I'.retr
was just the man to put two and two to
gether and lliercl.y arrive at a total of
four, lie resolve I to go to work immediately-
lirst by visiting his cousin Linily,
who now resided in 1 iimlaml, and. sec
ondly, by hunting up Kiehards, who wus
well, somewhere.
Two days Inier, Max Hrett p.nked his
satchel, bade farewell to Annette and
loft Chicago. I'.m ho was delayed more
than once iu executing his plans, and it
was several months before he was able to
complete the lirst part of his program
by i.'ilon ievs'ing llniily Satlcrthwaito.
CI! Al'TKIt VI.
I! is a remote corner of the world, very
remote indeed, where an American an
no! be disisnered, but whether a denizen
of Mexico or St. Petersburg, it is charac
teristic of him tn prefer bustle and "go,"
so that one would hardly commence a
search for a typical citizen in un Knglish
country village.
And yet the most important man in
Chesdeii, nnd by long oil. Is the richest, at
the time of our story wns n hundred oent-oii-lhe-dollar
American; and if Chesdeii
wns not nn mincnt Hriiish borough, there
lire no such places.
Years before, John Sntterthwniie, toil
ing in his ollice iu the heart of New York
city, tiin.le up his mind that a homo In
i Ch-'sdcn was worth a good denl of hard
I work. While yet a b..v he hnd visited
! I'.ngland with his grandfather, who took
! him to Chesdeii ami slmwul him the hall
j where the old gentlen: in had been born
I seventy years before; showed hiin the
1 broad noros which had once belonged to
tin- SatterlhwailoF, at: 1 the parish church
where whole generations of dead and gone
Sallerthwsiti s lay covered by marble
monuments and brass ct'igies. Ho even
saw that the swinging sign ln.ar.1 of the
largest inn still Uiro the legend, "The
Sutterthwaito Anns."
When young John r-turned from that
visit and. trending iu the footsteps of his
father, started iu commercial life, it wus
with the firm resolve, if such a thing were
possible, of ending his days iu the home
of his distinguished ancestors. Knivcly
and right well he carried out his resolu
tion. While he was still in the forties
he paid a princely sum for the old hall
nnd the m.l.le park which surrounded it,
and once again a Satterlhw nile came to
he looked up to as the most important
person in Chesdeii. It mattered little to
the natives that he was by birth an Amer
ican. It was enough for them that he
in me of the old stock, and it was easy for
them to perceive that John Satlcrthwaito
was a gentleman.
"Hlood tells, every time," said the burly
landlord of the Sattorthwaile Arms, as
he discussed the new squire with his
guests. And il did tell, hi that John Sat
terihwaite, of New York and Chesilen.
was not more warmly welcomed by Iho
plebeian townspeople and by his tenant
farmers than by the aristocracy of the
county.
Only one thing troubled the c unity peo
ple, especially mothers with largo fami
lies of grown b.-ys.
John Saltcrlhvvaite's h .usehol.l was
presided over by his lovely daughter a
fascinating young lady, quite of marriage
able ago and doubtless nehly 'inlowed
with worldly wealth, who evi.'eiiTly did
not wish to marry and who persistently
repelled the proffered attentions of a
dozen or so young Hmkinghaiushire
squires who fell desperately iu love with
her uu sight.

to write it In chapters, supplying thctn

chapters went to press as fast as they
came. Prei-cntly the publisher became
restive. People in this story were do
ing extraordinary things, and never
getting nnyvvlure. P. left them In tha
most awful plights whenever he wrotn
"To be continued in our next." At
the sixtieth chapter he was no nearer
to a solution of the plot than he had
been In the sixth. The. publisher
wrote to P. begging him to close the
narrative as quickly as possible, but P.
replied with another bitch, which end

swept by.
Wilson says that the engine ii"Ve.
