lninistrator, and I now proceed m this quiet manner to inform you, the sole heir, of the only claim I know of against the estate, real or personal— namely, $12,000 held by myself m the shape of three notes of $4,000 each, given me "by your father for money lent." Surprise, mixed with indignation, be- trayed itself m Margaret's voice. "In- deed 1 Why, if this be true, did not my father tell me of it? If you hold such paper, why did he say to me over and over again, 'My daughter, I leave you a fine property, free and clear from debt of any kind.' You will remember that I after the first stroke he rallied, and we all thought he would recover, but he looked for the second stroke that finally came, and while able to converse with me he told me again and again what I have just told you; also of his trust m you two gentlemen, and while he was aware that I would probably not be able for years, if ever, to control and run such a property as this, there was lit- tle danger of disaster with two such men m control. Why, gentlemen, I can hardly believe what you say." "We do not ask you to take our word for it, Miss Medbury," was the quick re- ply. "You shall see the notes, and when you do you will admit that not only the body of each but the signature are m your father's hand. Did he not suppose you knew of these notes?" "No, certainly not. Had he supposed I knew of them would he again and again have used the words free and clear? Do you think a father on his dying bed would for any reason whatever thus de- ceive his daughter? Is it reasonable to so suppose? No, gentlemen. There is a mistake here somewhere." A meaning glance here passed between the brothers, and as Margaret suddenly raised her eyes to their faces she saw it, and her suspicions were aroused. "Let me see these notes? Where are they?" she asked. At a nod from his brother the business manager arose, descended to the lower office and soon returned with an envel- ope. As he went out he did not see Hazeley, who had stood at his desk near j the partition the past fifteen minutes m i a listening attitude. When he returned Jack was apparently very busy measur- ing dupes, but had Mr. Blite looked s closely he would have seen that the string of slug fourteen was crushed to- gether m the foreman's hard hand, and that an ugly light gleamed m his eyes. As the door closed on Blite, Jack re- sumed his listening attitude again. "I don't fancy eavesdropping," he mut- tered; "but all's fair m war with rascals like these. The Blites have twelve thou- sand dollars indeed! They never had twelve hundred dollars ahead, and never will unless they steal it." Margaret surveyed the notes spread out before her m a dazed way, for an in- stant turning pale and breathing very hard. Not only was the signature of each that of her father, but ttie body of ' the note was m his hand. She would have sworn to it, and notwithstanding her suspicions of a moment before would have accepted the prima facie evidence here displayed without further remon- strance but for one little sign. As she , again suddenly raised her eyes a small mirror hanging m the partition just be- fore her came within range of her vision. In it she could see the faces of the broth- ers, who stood just behind her, and whereas these faces had hitherto worn an expression of solicitation— if not com- miseration—each now wore a sardonic grin, while the beady little right eye of the business manager was at that m- i etant veiled by its lid m something very like a wink. Her anger was at this m- , stant beyond control, and all her former suspicions were magnified. Her eyes fairly blazed with wrath, and Jack had now no trouble m distinguishing her words. "Charles and Arthur Blite, you have concocted a scheme to rob me, the only j daughter of your patron and friend. | While I cannot m truth brand these ! notes as forgeries, I say to you now and shall always believe there is something wrong about them. Why m the name | of heaven did you not make them larger, so' as to cripple this concern or gain con- trol of its stock? You could then have rendered me and it subservient to you. As it is, I may be robbed, but only this once by you. I hold control as yet, and I will show you that I am my father's daughter. I can raise money by mort- gage, and with the help of trusted men about me, for there are those here I can trust, even if I cannot believe the heads of this concern, I can and will pay off these claims of yours." "But what is the use?" interposed Charles, his voice as soothing as a fa- ther's, his face expressing all conceiva- ble concern. "Pay us our claim m stock. We can ran this business for you as we have for your father hereto- fore. The books will be open at all times for your inspection, and we being interested" "Would own the entire plant m five years. Where did you ever get this twelve thousand dollars that you claim to have lent my father? What did he do with it when he borrowed it? He did not owe a dollar m the world five years ago, when this building was com- pleted, for he told poor mother and me so the day the plant was moved m." "Very true, very true, my dear madr am, and he owed nothing up to the time he borrowed this money. At that time he put m a large quantity of new ma- terial, a news press among the rest, and we are quite sure he used this money for that. How was that, Brother Ar- thur?" and the bland editor bent his in- quiring gaze on the business manager. "That was it exactly, and if we had the books covering that period I could show Mies Margaret the entries proving it. As it is, I am sorry to say they are destroyed," and here another tele- graphic signal passed between the cun- ning eyes of each. "It was just after we came m here," resumed Arthur, "and as I had the money and knew Mr. Medbury was good financially for sixty thousand dollars I lent it on notes, not asking even a chattel mortgage." '*If my father wrote and signed those notes he certainly did not know what he was about. I know there must be some- (Tobe continued.) ASHBURTON PERMANENT BUILDING AND INVESTMENT- SOCIETY..
