GORDON'S SELF-CONTROL. (Copyright, 1316, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate). I struggled hard to retain my com- posure when I heard of the great nge in our fortunes, and I be- lieve I suceéeded fairly well, for when 1 spoke - again my voice was clear and even. 1 was determified to know if Mr. Gordon had been badly involved through the transaction. "Indéed," 1 exclaimed, with well simulated sugpprise. 'You never told me he was interested in the A, B. C Company." "For a very good reason. I did not know it myself. His connection was imilar to that which Henderson ex- pects to have. He had some reason for hiding tlie fact that he was in control of the concern, and he did it very well. Even the officers of the ompany did not know that he was a stockholder." "Did he control the company?" I understand now that he did. nad a large part of his fortune ed in it." "And he lost it?" "Well, I should say ed a million or so. Of course, hg II have something left, even of his nvestment in the'A. B. C, Company, hut he is a heavy loser." "That is business," i replied with a tinge of bitterness: "He could not hag ave expected anything else.' "Business? vimed Arthur. "Why, of And further- He in- he has drops good. A friend told ¢ $15 All Wool Blue. Chinchilla more, is the way Gordon made jeverything he He took it away from others through the stodk mar- ket. He deserves to lose everything." { "I cannot indorse that statement, for I do not know what. his deserts are," I replied, "but it does scem hard that a man should lose a million sor so, as you estimate, merely be- cause another man covef{s his pro- perty." "It is has. the old story of taking the sword and dying by the sword. Gor- don no doubt got the A. B. C. Com- pany in the same way that Henderson got it. He has no right to cry over spilt milk." "And I dp not believe he will be caught erying very much," I replied. "He is not that kind of a man." "I confess I do mot know much about him," said Arthur sourly. *'Par- haps he still has enough money left to enable him to strut about in that self-satisfied way of his, Maybe he 'has not. In any event I shall not worry about it." I did not pursue the subject, but Mr. Gordon was uppermost in mv mind as I reviewed what Arthur had told me. I could not but feel for He had lost a large sum of money--a great fortune--and to a certain extent my husband had been a party to the transaction, although he was not the principal agent through whom the loss was incurred. I thought again of the stories I had heard of losers on the stock market; of the desperate things some of them did, but I could not picture Mr. Gor- don in any such role. My reflections were interrupted by the/ringing of the telephone bell. It was Mariam, breathless with eager- ness and happiness. "I cannot wait for you to come over to see it," she said almost inco- herently. "It's the most beautiful thing you ever saw! I am goiag te show it to you, and then you and I and Uncle John will spend the rest of the evening together!" "But what is. it?" I inquired. "What am I to have the great privi lege of seeing "My new necklace. Uncle John brought it to me this afternoon. It is the most beautiful thing you eves looked at, Roxane." And it was deautiful. She had it on when I met her in the parlor a few minutes later, and it flashed back a thousand lights from the globes in the chandeliers, Mr. Gordon, who undoubtedly thought Mariam's eyes were brighter and more beautiful than the diamonds, stood smiling be- side her, salm, strong, and self-con- fident as ever. ' "And it was such a surprise, ""Mari- am exclaimed, haven't had a birthday in ever so long, and I am sure I have done 'nothing to deserve anything like this. He just brought it to ne because he is the best man in the world, didn't you, Uncle John?" "1 shall not be trapped into-indors- ing such a sentiment," Mr, Gordon smiled. "I have told you why 1 brought it~-because you are the fin- est little niece I have." "And the only one," laughed Mari- am. "I will forgive you that state- ment because you deserve to be for- given anything." I looked at Mr. Gordon again, Was it possible that this man had passed through a financial struggle within the last few "hours? It was unbe- lieveable. Happiness shone from his face and eyes, his gracious manner was unmarred by the least trace of nervousness. He was as composed as if nothing in his whole life had ever occurred to ruffle his spirit. As I looked at him I marveled at the self- control. which lie must possess. I had had occasion several times to learn that he was his own master, but none of those occasions imipressed .me as this one did. Then my face flushed as a thought flashed through my mind. Did he know that Arthur was to be the A. B. C, Company's president? Could he imagine for a moment that I bad betrayed his confidence and told Arthur of his connection with the A. B. C. Company? Certainly hie manner was all cordiality, but with a man such as he that meant nothing Gaze as hard as I might, I could not read what lay beyond those smiling eyes.

MAIL BY HUN SUBMARINE : Count Von Bernstorft 'Makes a Radical Proposal to Washington. "Meat Prices Will Not Come Down" isthe A LEAP YEAR PROPOSAL By ELINOR MARSH Wien 1 was a girl of twelve my mother made a will leaving me all her property and naming Nathan Griggs my guardian. Mother died. when I was sixteen years old, and by the terms of the will [ was to have possession of my estate when I was eighteen. This left it in Nathan's bands two years after her death. Now, the truth is, from the time 1 was fourteen I bad a decided fancy for Nathan, I looked dpon him ave big vrother and in my day dreams of the future thought of him as something nearer. I early passed beyond boys of my own age, which I suppose came partly from the fact that, my father having died when I was a baby and my mother being early accustomed to F rely upon me for many things that are not usually left to children, I became lder in experience than I was in years. Be this as it may, by the time I be- came of age and my property was to be turned over to me I had made up my mind that T wanted Nathan too: As to taking care of my estate myself, [ had sense enough to know that I was entirely Incompetent. I also had sufficient feminine instinct to discérn that Nathan bad a decided fancy for me. But the main reason why mother had made him my guard. ian and one of the reasons why 1 wanted him--his integrity--stood in the way of my having him. It was evident to me that he considered me a fiduciary trust. . He was so sensitive to his hon- or that I believed he would consider it a crime Yor him to become possessed of my fortune even by marrying me. What was I to do? I couldn't very well offer myself to him. Possibly if I ha 'en nearer his age I might have foufid a way to propose to him with- out sacrificing too much of my maid- enly modesty, but when I was eighteen he was thirty-one. It might have been easier had I been sure that he wanted me. But how can a girl know that a wi wants her till he asks her? e day in looking over mother's papers I came upon a letter she had written to my aunt, ber sister, that had been returned to me after moth. er's death. In it she said: "I have made a will in Luella's favor and have made Nathan Griggs executor and guardian. [I have done this hoping that he will continue managing her es- tate as her husband. I have said noth- ing of this, however, to either of them, for in such cases the surest way to defeat a design is to try to bring it about. I rather rely on my observa- tion that they fancy each other," 1 spent a long while thinking out a plan by which to use this letter fo overcome Nathan's scruples. Gather ing some business letters that I found to and from mother 'and placing this letter I have mentioned among them, I sent them to Nathan with a note in which I suggested that they might be of importance to the estate and that it might be well for him to look them over carefully. What did he do but return them to me, saying that he bad read them all carefully and they were of no impor tance in a business way! I was no nearer my object than be- fore. Well, the day arrived when I was eighteen, and Nathap came to turn over my property to me. It had be- come evident to me that if I wished to break down his scruples I must throw argument to the winds and use feminine methods, He spread a lot of papers on a table, and we sat down side by side that he might instruct me. I was not thinking of the papers or the instructions; I was thinking of something far nearer my heart. The more he explained the less I un. derstood. I kept hitching my chair nearer 10 his till we could be no near: er. Then, pretending that the figures were so minute I bad difficuity in see ing them, I leaned sidewise till my shoulder touched Nathan's. In this way 1 crowded him to the outer edge of his chair, and he conld not mov farther. My hair was done in a tumul- tuous fashion, and a loose strand grazed his cheek. He went on explaining, but it did not take me long to see that his mind was no more on the papers than was mine. At last I succeeded in grazing his cheek with mine, He broke down at this and went all to pieces. Putting bis arms around me, he kissed me and said: "Luella. when you sent me those let ters of your mother's you unintention- aliy included one that expressed a de- sire on her part that 1 should continue the care of your estate as your hus- bind. 1 have Joved you ever since sou were a little girl and might have told you so before this bad not your mother tarned you and your fortune over to me in trust.
