Wait and see the result. I thin‘ it will surprise you. Incidentally it i up to me to engage a minister‘s serx ices. It’s going to be quiet. you kno“ Joe, you can be my best man if yo like, and, Gardie, I’ll expect you t sign your name as one of the wi: nesses. Tomorrow evening we‘ll have supper at Mrs. Gray’s, and ‘among those present’ will not comprise a very large list, I assure you. But we‘ll talk about that later on. Just now I want to ask you fellows to lead me enough money to pay the preacher. I'll return it tomorrow afternoon.” “He is not registered at any of the hotels,” responded Mr. Grant, and Brewster did not see the troubled look that passed over his face. that passed over his race. “He’ll Show up tonight said he complacently. "Well, I'm blessedi” exclaimed Gard- ner, utterly dumfounded by the nerve of the man. Gardner promised to have the minister at the Gray house the next morning. Monty‘s other requestâ€"made in deep seriousnessâ€"was that Peggy was not to be told of the little transac~ tion. He then hurried off to the oflice of Grant Ripley. The bundles of re- ceipts had preceded him. “Has Jones arrived in town?” was his first anxious question after the greetings. did not tell him that all the telegrams gy had sent to Swenrengen Jones in 0 past two weeks had been returned t9 the New York office as finclaimed in ntte. The telegraph company repart- é that Mr. Jones was not to be found and that he had not been seen in Butte since the 3d of September. The law- yers were hourly expecting word from Montana men to whom they had tele- graphed for information and advice. They were extremely nervous. but Montgomery Brewster was too eager and excited to notice the fact. CHAPTER XXXL OON after noon on the-fld at September Monty folded his to- port to Swearengen Jones, stuck it into his pocket and sallied forth. A parcel delivery wagon had carried 011' a mysterious bundle a few minutes before. Mrs. Gray could not conceal her wonder. but Brewster’s an- swers to herquestions threw little light on the mystery. He could not tell her the big bundle contained the receipts that were to prove his sincerity when the time came to settle with Mr. Jones. Brewster had used his own form of re- ceipt for every purchase. The little stub receipt books had been made to order for him and not only he, but ev- ery person in his employ, carried one everywhere. No matter how trivial the purchase, the person who received a dollar of Brewster’s money signed a re- ceipt for the amount. Newsboys and bootblacks were the only beings who escaped the formality; tips to waiters. porters. cabbies. etc., were recorded and afterward put into a class by themselves. Receipts for the few dol- lars remaining in his possession were to be turned over on the morning of the 23d and the general report was not to be completed until 9 o’clock on that (my. “Lend me enough money to pay the para: 4"): c. r. ” Under the sumrvision of: DES.

He may think I dissipated the for- tune, but I defy him or any one else to prove that I have not had my mon- ey’s worth. To tell you the truth, it has seemed like a hundred million.

See vou tomon'ow morning.” 1 He was gone, eager to be with Peg- i'gy, afraid to discuss his report with Ithe lawyers. Grant and Ripley shook 'jtheir heads and sat silent for a long 1 time after his departure. “I wonder,” mused Ripley, as if to himself, “how he will take it if the worst should happen.” “Come, Peggy!" he exclaimed eager- ly. "This is our last holiday. Let’s be merry. We can forget it tomorrow it you like when we begin all over again, hut maybe it will be worth remember- ing.” H * assisted her to the seat and then leaped Up beside her. “We're off!” he cried, his voice quivering. CHAPTER XXXII. “ T’S up to Jones now,” kept run- ning through Brewster’s brain as he drove off to keep his ap- pointment with Peggy Gray. “The mi‘dion is goneâ€"all gone. I’m as poor as Job‘s turkey. It's up to Jones, but I don’t see how he can decide against me. He insisted on making a pauper of me, and he can’t have the heart to throw me down now. But what if he should take it into his head to be ugly! I wonder if I could break the willâ€"I wonder if I could beat him out in court.” Peggy was waiting for him. Her checks were flushed as with a fever. She had caught from him the mad ex- citement of the occasion. “We ought to hear something definite before night,” said Grant, but there was anxiety in his voice. "It is absolute madness, dear,” she said, but her eyes were sparkling with the joy of recklessness. Away went the trap and the two light hearts. Mrs. Gray turned from a window in the house with tears in her eyes. To her troubled mind they were driving ofl into utter darkness. “he queerest looking man came to the house to see you this afternoon, Monty." said Peggy. “He wore a beard, and he made me think of Rem- ington’s cowboys.” "What was his name?” “He told the maid it did not matter. I saw him as he walked away, and he looked very much a man. He said he would come tomorrow if he did not find you downtown tonight. Don’t you recognize him from the description?” "Monty," she said after a moment’s painful reflection. “Heâ€"he- couldn’t have been a”â€" "I know what you mean, an ofiicer sent up to attach my belongings or something of the sort. No, dearest; I give you my word of honor I do not owe a dollar in the world.” Then he recalled his peculiar indebtedness to Bragdon and Gardner. "Except one or two very small personal obligations,” he added hastily. “Don’t worry about it, dear; we are out for a good time, and we must make the most of it. First we drive through the park, then we dine at Merry's.” “Not at all. Can’t imagine who he is.” “But we must dress for that, dear, she cried. “And the chaperon ?” He turned very red when she Spoke of dressing. “I'm ashamed to confess it, Peggy, but I have no other clothes than those I‘m wearing now. Don’t look so hurt, dear. I’m going to leave an order for new evening clothes to- morrow it I have the time. And about the chaperon. PeOpIe won’t be talking before tomorrow, and by that time”â€" “You’re right, Peggy, you’re always right. You see, I’m so used to spend ing money by the handful that I don’t know how to do it any other way. I believe I’ll let you carry the pocket- book after tomorrow. Let me think. I know a nice little restaurant down town. We'll go there and then to the Hunter. Duh DeMillo and his wife are . be in my box, and we’re, all going . j» to I’ettingill's studio afterward. l'm to give the Little Sons a farewell upper. If my calculations don’t go ‘.'.'r0ng that will be the end of the jaunt -:nd we'll go home happy.” At 11 o‘clock Pettingill’s studio open- ed its doors to the Little Sons and their guests, and the last “Dutch much" was soon under way. Brewster had paid for it early, in the evening, and when he sat down at the head of the table there was not a penny in his pockets. A year ago at the same place and at the same hour he and the Lit- tle Sons were having a birthday feast. .1 million dollars came to him on that night. Tonight he was. poorer by far 1. __L k- A‘ “Oh, Peggy! That. spoils everything,” he cried in deep diSappointment. “No, Monty, Merry's is out of the question. We can’t go there,” she said decisively. “It isn’t fair to me, Monty. Every- body would know us, and every tongue would wag. They would say: ‘There are Monty Brewster and Mar- garet Gray. Spending his last few dol- lars on her.’ You wouldn’t have them think that?” He saw the justice in her protest. “A quiet little dinner in some out of the way place would be joyous,” she added persuasively. than on the fiber occasion,b nw the e}- bected a little gift on the xexsary.
