Allan gathered, from his manner that he and his daughter had discussed the possible future moves In the great proj ect with even greater fullness than she had indicated. But he rather ex pected her to withdraw as soon as her father took this tack Probably she was waiting for a graceful opening. Allan swiftly went over the figures that he had been working on for the past months, and father and daughter listened in silence. He had every de tail ai his linger tips, and he talked easily and convincingly. ' I fully agree with you. Mr. Allan, said the financier, at the conclusion of the report, “that we should resume I work as soon as it is humanly possible by that 1 mean work on the full scale. I 1 still hold to iny original object that half-measures would weaken rather than strengthen public confidence " “There is a Herman company trying, with some success. I believe, to raise funds for a trans-Atlantic air line," ivmarked Allan, meaningly. The old banker nodded emphatically. "Quite HO quite so. Everything points to Hie fact that we must begin work at once or abandon the enter prise for all time. And this involves a financial sacrifice that appals me." "You mean the abandoning of the work ?" "Precisely For a long time I have believed that that alternative must no.t •o ns iu e red — and even before that time—I had thought some of making the venture, or at least talking it over with you, | thing inconsequential His thoughts were whirling. Ethel had given him the impression that she had won heir father over to her way of thinking, and her father had * certainly inplied that J she had caused him to withhold the help j that Allan needed. A suspicion, which | else in the world. A suspicions which j his lack of a certain kind of egoism j caused him to reject, flashed into his mind. He could not explain Ethel's i In that instant, and the conversation j took on a strained note which even Mr. Lloyd detected. A T last Ethel made some excuse to j withdraw and when she had gone j her father turned to Allan with an j apologetic smile. "I'm probably in for a scene with i Ethel," he said whimsically “I'm al- ; most tempted to keep you. here indef initely as a protection, Mr. Allan. She j is really your ally, Mr. Allan, but she 1 has some pride in her old father, and she did not think that all of the ad vances ought to come from our side." Allan laughed and said that he un derstood; but a short time later he I took his leave. Nothing definite was fixed in the. course of the conversation, i and he agreed to come again within the ! week and have a more detailed talk over prospective ways and means. Allan walked to his hotel, his mind | working busily to arrive at some ex- j planation of the strange little incident. 1 Ethel was his ally, her father had said, j He had gathered the same impression from her attitude toward hifn since his j return from Europe. But she had told her father, when lie was willing to start the financial ball rolling once more. , that all of the advances should not j come from the Lloyd side.

One thing, at least, was clear through j all of it. Ethel wanted him to think I that if the tunnel enterprise were re habilitated lie would have her to thank for it—her and no one else. But why . Allan flushed in the darkness of tne ' winter night and felt uncomfortable at ' the mere thought that carp© back to him ! for the second time. He was not vain i of his power to attract women—he didn't I know that he had any such power. He i would have been surprised and embar- j rassed to learn it.

Why should she advise her father to withhold offers of aid and then j put her pride in her pocket and come to J' Jennie Made a Brave Attempt at Smoking a Cigarette. Chapter 29. rBN’NIE looked around the cabin of the yacht in open-eyed wonder, for she never, never, saw anything so cozy and luxurious. The young man pressed an electric button and a Chi nese boy in white coat and apron appeared, and the young man told him to bring drinks and cigars, which he did as if by magic. Jennie asked the young man if he was on his vacation and where he ever got such a beautiful boat. To which the young man shrugged his shoulders and laughingly said he had “been on a vacation ever since he had been born," his father had given him the boat, and the hardest work he did was navigating her from one country to another. That it was getting nearly time for him to go down to Florida and the south coast for the Win ter, but he hated to go alone, and said to Jennie in an apparently joking way: “Wouldn’t you like to go along? That stateroom you see there, through the open door, can be yours —it was fh» one Jennie had first noticed, all done up in pink and white—“and we could have a bully time.’* About this time the Chinese boy appeared with more drinks, and Jennie made a brave attempt at smoking a cigarette, but it was useless, 'for the smoke choked her and she couldn’t get to like it a bit. Jennie at last realized that she MUST get home. She told the young man how sick her mother was, and he was as sympathetic and polite as could be and gave an order to one of his crew to have the launch got ready at once to go ashore. After helping her onto the dock and bidding her good-bye until the next day, Jennie walked on home to the poor, simple little cottage Tom had hired for her and her mother. "Oh, why, why couldn’t I marry a man like thatt” Jennie kept saying over to herself. —HAL COFFMA V. (To be continued.)

I rose to my feet, threw on a light jacket and went on j deck. It was almost as bad here, for a thin, clammy vapor was rising from t the water. The moon was near its setting; it threw’ ghastly gleams through the mist and made the ships | at anchor off the shore look like rot ting corpses. “Thin is getting unholy," I said to myself. "I’ll take a run ashore and try to throw off the obsession." 1 had the ship's boat lowered and pulled across to the quay-side. Then 1 made a hurried progress through the sleeping town, and started to climb a steep hill that ran up toward Ban Paulo. Climbed Faster. lad> Jobshaw's Game. Jobshaw was taking a friend for a spin in the second-hand motor he had picked lip at such an absurdly low fig ure when something went wrong with the works and the car stopped dead. He dived under the machine and dis covered among other defects that two nuts had jolted off during the journey. “It's only a mile to the nearest town, old man,” said the apologetic owner of the car. “If you wouldn’t mind walk ing there and get a couple of half-inch nuts from the iron-monger. I can put the other things right by the time you gel back." And for the next half hour Jobshaw was tinkering and tapping away beneath the car: then he started to wonder why his friend had not re turned. Presently he heard footsteps. "That you. Lorkins?" he inquired- “S-s-sb!" came the reply from a bucol ic-looking gentleman who peered at Job shaw under the car. " E come back ten minutes ag > l told Mm you’d gone across that there field yonder. ’E's a-clainberin’ through edges an' dutches looking arter yer. Keep quiet, an’ 'e won't find yer for hours, guv nor." "What on earth do you mean"” bel lowed Jobshaw. as he wriggled into sight “I’ve been waiting for him, you Idl* i I can't ii>:* ibe , ai up until lie gets here." "Want Mm. do yer?" exclaimed the surprised countryman "Why, 1 thought l was elpin' y er. guv nor. Seein' where I j y ou'd tucked yourself away. I reckoned I i you wo# ’axin' a game o’ Mde an seek!" I Gradually the beauty of the night, the declining moon ghining clear in a sea of purple, the rustling trees tbout me and the appearance of the half- seten, mist-shrouded water, bred a kind of intoxication in my veins. I climbed faster than before; reached a level plateau, went on with a rol licking laugh, and chased my own shadow as cheerfully' as any child. Then, as thp moon sank from view;. I plunged recklessly into a small brake or copse of trees, stumbled forward, felt my feet break through the ground, clutched frenziedly at thin air. and found myself falling down like a stone. Distinctly 1 threw out my hands to seek some holding, but found none Down 1 went, down and down, and the blootl sang a mad chorus of spite in my dinning ears. It seemed as if the depths of this pitfall were inter minable; I clawed once at the sheer side, my fingers close on a friable earth. I seemed to rebound somewhat, and continued my descent. 1 methodi cally threw out my arms again, felt my' body brush something that rustled, clutched with the frantic en. ergy of a madman at something that slid painfully through my fingers*, tightened my clutch ami found myself brought up with a shock that seemed to wrench my arms from their sockets. There T hung at arm’s length, gasp ing feebly, quite unable to realize what had happened. Dimly 1 seemed to know* that I had been saved, but the problem that slowly presented itself to my understanding was: Saved for how iong? All around and about v as darkness like that of a grave. Scarcely a thing moved, save that now and then a little trickle of loosened earth seemed to run down ward. The rumble of the falling soil died away into a diminuendo, and I shuddered as I clung to the provi dential branch, for it seemed to me that the depths reached inimitably below me. A Strong Man. I felt my strength ebbing away from me like a river’s tide; I renewed my tenacious clasp, but knew that with the crackling tendons on my wrists weakening every moment, it was only prolonging the agony and postponing the inevitable end. But with a quick instinct for life. I reached down one foot as far as it would go. seeking for some other holding, only to find the toe of my shoe kicking aimlessly' about in the thin air. Now I shouted aloud, shouted in a voice that seemed to my inflamed senses, to carry right away down the hillside to the very ship. Only the dull echoes came back to me mockingly. Again and again I yelled, until my throat was parched and smarting. When I had grown sick and incapable of f'houting more I resigned myself to death. But I was not thirty, and the de sire for life wae strong in my soul. I would not die. I grated it out a dozen times—yes. eyen though I felt my hands slowly numbing and the black ened blood pulsing like a sledge hammer beat in my temples. ] would struggle until the last ounce of my strength was exhausted. Now I reckon l must have been hanging to the branch for something over two hours by this, and l defy anybody, even the stoutest athlete, to draw* himself up chin high to a hori zontal bar after hanging suspended for one-half the time. But I did it, uneasily enough, hut with many pantings and struggling*, but T did it. I was a strong man. and the love of life added to my strength. Then I had a happy inspiration. 1 wore a stout leather belt about my waist; by dint of much wriggling I was able to loosen it. and swing clear. CHICHESTER S PILLS JTZ— TIIK UIAMOMII RRtlVD leUlllc\VJ itJboa. Working strenuously, my teeth a-ssisl-. ing my tree hand. 1 managed to bind the arm that was over the branch to the branch itself. Then t counted myself safe. Xo matter if my strength failed me I should not fall. And T prayed that some succor might, ap pear when morning came. Then I must have lost conscious- riCM, for a while, for mv recollection,, of the ensuing time are hazy In the extreme. I awoke at last chilled to the bone, and a feeling as of gnawing teeth In my upper arm where the strap held me safely. I was wholly worn-out. but ray first Instinct was to cast my aching eyes above. Then 1 saw something that brought my heart to my mouth again. A faint greyness showed in the sky; i could see it through the interlacing branches overhead. I saw then that m.v conceptions of the distanoe I had fallen were altogether at fault. T could not have descended more than forty feet before I struck a branch, but that hardly altered the terrible circumstances of the case. How was I to climb up again to safety? I gritted my teeth when the thought came to me. and looked downward. All was still dark, but the light was gradually filling the upper spaces. At last the radiant daylight clothed me where I hung; it traveled downward. And within ten minutes more I saw what X saw. When T had been hanging at the greatest strength of my arms the floor of the pit was barely two feet away from my toes; good, sound earth! if I had released my holding I should have been perfectly safe. But there is a lock of white hair above my left ear to show what that night of horror spelt for me. The Stranger. A stranger knocked at a man's floor and told him of a fortune to he made. “Um.” said the man. “It appear# that considerable effort will be in volved.” "oh y**9." said the stranger; “yota will pass many sleepless nights and toilsome days.” “Um,” said the man. "and who are you ?” "I am railed Opportunity.” “I’m.” said the man, "you call vonr- self Opportunity, hut you look Ilk# Hard Work to me.” And he slammed the door.
