“Caroline, about twenty years ago or
such matter yonr father was a com-

able business man, one whci^saw oppor-

think and then dei.ided to wait a little
longer for your sake,”
"Eor my sake? For mine?” She
passed her hand in a bewildeyed way
across her forehead. ‘‘Mr. Sylvester,
I don’t seem ' to understand even
now. I”—
‘‘For your sake, Caroline. Remem

to Malcolm Dunn.”
Her intent gaze wavered. She drew
a long breath. ‘‘I see.” she said slow
ly. “Oh—I see."

Final Decision Has Been Reacfied

Charlotte.—The Raleigh-Richiriond
Bankhead highway from' Atlanta to

meeting of board of directors of the

Sylvester, all this is-ls’^-
"He might have told yoB then, bijt
he did not think it best. ‘Caroline, your
uncle has always believed in you. Even
when you sent him from your home he
did not blame you. He said you Were
deceived-^that was all. But, too, he
has always declared that you had been,
as he expressed It, ‘brought up wrong.’

Too told Steve and me all about that.
'*What I want to know Is”—
“Wait. I did not tell you all about
It. 1 said that another man invested
$10,000 with your father to form that
company. That man, so we now
know, was your uncle, Captain Elisha
Warren.”
“I guessed that. Of course It must
lave been he.”
“It was. The captain had saved
-some money: also at that time he idoi-
tted his brother ajid believed iu bis
•dinewdness and capability. He invest-
-«gd this $10,000 on Rodgers Warren’s
ward that the investment was likely to

lattor In business. For a few years
the company did nothing. During that
time your Tatber and uncle disagreed—
caacepning another matter, quite un-
-flonnected with this one—aBd they did
not see each other again while’Rodgers
Ured. In that long period the Akrae
company made millions. But Elisha
anpiK>sed It to be bankrupt aud worth-
'Seas, because—well, to be frank, be
cause his brother wrote him to that ef
fect.
“Now we come to the will. Your fa

heart. He realized how die had de
frauded the brother who had been so
kind to him, niK^ he kept promising
himself to some day repay the money*

It did prove. But always in his mind

children he loved. He had quarreled

cheat he had provkled. But what
would become of you. left—iu case he

honesty and believed in his consclen-

he apiKilnted Elisha your guardian.
He threw his children and their future

CHAPTER XIX.
“Wat, BacauM I Want Him.”
S Y'LVE.STEU paused. Caroline did
not speak for a moment; then she
asked:
“And no one knew—you or my uncle
«r any one—of all this until last
March?'
“No. Graves had, with his usual care
and patience, pieced together the evi

“But he did not know either?”
“Not until tb^n. He supjwsed his

And there was Steve. You know, Caro
line, that money and what it brought
were spoiling Steve. H ^ has never been
so much of a man as during the past
year, when he thought himself poor.
But your unel^ has planned for him as
well as for you, ahd when he believes
the time has come he”— '
"Please,” she interrupted falteringly—
‘‘please don't say any more. Let me
think, Mr. Sylvester. You say that-
Uncle Elisha Intends giving us all that
father took from him—all of it?”
‘‘Yes, all. He considers himself mere
ly your guardian still and will accept
0^1^ his expenses from the estate.”
‘lit Is wouderfuir she repeat^ bro-
-kenly. ‘‘Even though we cannot take
it, it wonderful.” ^
‘‘What? Cannot take It?”
‘‘Of course not! Do you suppose that
either my brother'^tir I would take the
fortune that our father stole—yes, stole
—from him, after he has been living al
most in poverty all these years and we
in luxury—on his money? Of course
we shall not take it I”
“But, Caroline, I imagine you will
have to take it. I understand your
feelings, -hut I think he will compel
you to take it”
"1 shall not!" She sprang to her
feet. ‘'Of course 1 shall not! Never!
Never!”
“What's that you’re never goiu’ to
ta^e, Caroline-measles or another trip
down in these parts? I hope 'tain'tthe
la,st, ’cause I've heeu cal'latin’ you’d
like It well enough to come again.'”
Caroline turned. So did Sylvester.
Captain Elisha was standing in the
doorway, his hand on the knob.
was smiling broadly, but as he iook^
at the two by the fire he cegsed to
smile.
“What’s all this?” he asked sus
piciously. “Caroline, what—Sylvester,
what have you been fellin’ her?”
Neither answered at once. The cap
tain looked from ofte to the other.
“Sylvester !”^Caroline had never seen
her uncle’* thoroughly angry before.
“Sylvester," he cried, “have you—have
you dast jto tell her what .vou shoyldn’t?
Didn’t you promise me? If you told
that girl I'll—I'll”—
His niece stepped forward. “Hush,
Uncle Elisha,’’ she said. “He didn’t
tell me until I knew already. I guess
ed It. Then I asked for the whole,
truth, and be told me.” ^
* “The whole truth? Caroline!”
He wrung his hands.
■ “Yes, uncle, the whole truth. I know
you now. I thought I knew you be
fore, but I didn’t—riot half, t do now."
“Oh. Caroline!" He stepped toward
her aud then stopped; frantic ahd de
spairing. “Caroline! Caroline!” he
cried again. “Can you ever forgive
me? You know—you must know 1
ain’t ever meant to keep It. It’s all
yours. 1 just didn't give it to you
right .off because—because— Oh, Syl
vester. tell her .1 never meant to keep
it! Tell her!" *
The lawyer shook his head. “I did
tell her,” he said, with another shrug,
“and she tells me she won't accept It.*'

thrust forward. He nodded slowly.
“All right! .^1 right!” be said grim
ly. “Sylvester, is your shop goln’ to

“Guess aot, captain/’ woa tbe pus-

I'll get that note, and I’ll burn It up.
Then—then you’ll have to tak^ the
money, becauseTi’ll be yours. Every
bit of evidence that’ll hold In law is
gone.”
He turned, strode to the door and
out of the room. A moment later they
heard a scream from Miss Baker In
the kitchen: “Llsha Warren, what alls
you? .Are you crazy?” There was no
answer, hut the back door closed with
a trependous bang.
Half an hour after bis dramatic exit
Captain Elisha was pacing up and
down the floor of the barn. It was an
old refuge of bis, a place where be was
accustomed to go when matters requir
ing deliberation and thought oppressed
him. As he turned In his stride he
saw a shadow move across the sill of
the .big. open door. He caught .his
breath and stopped.
Caroline entered the barn. She came
straight to him and put her bands upon
the lapels of his coat. Her eyes were
wet and shining.
“Caroline?” he faltered eagerly.
“You good man!” she breathed soft
ly. “Oh, you good man!”
“Caroline!” His voice shook, but
goin’ to take the money ?7*
“Yes. Uncle Elisha. Mr. Sylvester
has shown me that I must. He says

Captain Elisha said.
The captain and Sylvester were lean
ing on the fence by the gate, looking
up the road and waiting for Dan and
the “two seater” to heave in sight
around the bend. The hired man had
hameasfed early and driven to the sta
tion at least thirty minutes before
tra^ time. Captain Elisha was re
sponsible for the early start. Steve^
was coming on that train. Possibly
some one else was coming. The cap
tain did not mean they should find no
welcome or vehicle at the station.
The whistle bad sounded ten minutes
before. It was time for Dan to appear
at the bend. —
“I hope to thunder Jim got that tele
gram.” observed the captain for the
twentieth time at least since breakfast.
“So do I,” replied his friend.. “There’s
no reason why he shouldn't, is there?”
“No, no sensible oue^ but I’ve scared
up no less than a couple of hundred of
the other kind. If be shouldn’t come
—my, my, she’d be disappointed!”
He motioned w'ith his head toward
the window of Caroline’s room.

“Glory be! Aud—and, Caroline, you

Can you forgive me for doin’ that?”
“Forgive you? C^an I ever thank

“S-s-h-h! S-s-h! There!” with a
great sigh, almost a sob. of relief, “I
guess tills’ll be a real Thanksgivln’
after all.”
But a few minutes later anotlier
thought came to him.
“Caroline,” be asked. "l wonder If.
now that things are as they are. you
couldh’t do somethin’ else—somethin'
that would please me an awful lot?”
• “What Is it. uncle?”
“It’s somethin’ perhaps 1 ain’t got
any right to ask. The other day you
told me you cared for Jim Pearson
but that you sent him away ’cause
you thought you had to earn a livin’
for you and Steve. Now you know
that you ain’t got to do that. And you
said you told him if you ever changed
your mind you’d send for him. Don't
you s'pose you could send for him now

you think you could, Caroline?”
“Send for him—now?” she asked in a
low tone.
“Yes; now-right off-in time for to
morrow.
“Pope so. It didn’t do me any

never saw you in better spirits. Do you
know what I think? I think that for
a chap vrtKThns just given away half
of a good sized fortune and intends.,
giving away the-other half you’re the
most cheerful specimen I ever saw.”
The captain laughed too. “I am,
ain’t I?” he said. “Well, I can say
truthful what I never expected to say
in my life—that ouce I was wuth ha’f
a million dollars. .As for the rest of it.
I’m like that millionaire—that— Hi!
Look! There comes Dan!‘See him?
“Steve!” cried the captain excitedly.
“There’s Steve! And—and—yes, there’s
somebody on the back seat. It's Jim!
He's come! Hooray!”
“Wait!” Sylvester cried. “I don’t
want to lose the rest of that sentence.
You said you were like some million
aire. Who?” .
-"Don't bother me!” cried Captain
Elisha. “Who? Why, I was goin’ to
say I was like that millionaire chap
who passes out a library every time
he wakes up and happens to think of
it. Y'ou know who I mean. Ahoy
there, Jim! Ahoy, Steve!”
He was waving his hand to the pas
sengers In the approaching vehicle.
“That’s the feller. I’ve come to feel
about the way he'^ says he does—that
'twould be a crime for me to die rich."
