**A dwarf sees jurther than a giant inltenBy ELIZABETHOHAPTEB XLIL [ co n t i n u ed ) .

Of his two children, Caleb Ilobson loved Vir-einia far more than he did, iiis son.He was a shrewd judge of characler, this gri^ziedold ex-miner, and he was able to regard even ihcmembers of his own family with a dispassionateeye when it ca,me to the point of si/.ing tliem up ,Charlie had never tempted him to build fal;;fi hopes.The youth was almost commonplace in his vulgarity and extravagancetwo traits of which hisfather, despite his quick rise to opulence, wasnever guilty. Virginia, on the other hand, satisfied him completely, and more than justified ,.*hemoney which had been spent upon her, Hobsonnever gave vent to the thought publicly, but itwas his own private opinion that she was ' alady from her head to her heels," and the phenomenon never failed to fill his heart with satisfaction. Not that he was disloyal to the point ofdoubting his wife's gentility, bu t instinctively herealised that Virginia e mbodied in her character certain qualifications which he could not account foron the score of her parentage alone. An d becauseshe was so unlike them, yet still their child, helovcd_her rather the more."What are you doing, daddy?" she asked, ashe did not speak.She had been quick to notice the furtive gesturewifli which he had shielded the mass of papers,and it amused her [0 tease him." Up (0 something clandestine', I'll be bound.Oh, fie! What's this I see?" she continued,gently railing him as her eye fell upon the half-empiied glass of brandy and soda. " I s my naughty,bad father taking to strong drink at his ag e! "To her surprise, however, old Caleb did not re

spond to her gaiety, an d then suddenly she agam.noticed what had struck her upon first entering theroomthat he looked old and weary. His seamed,weather-worn face was pale, an d there were deeplines furrowing his forehead an d cheeks.Intuitively she realised that something had happened to after him strangely,But before she could question him he spoke,clearing his throatfirst with a hard, rasping cough,and rapping out his sentences sharply and qidckly.,"Sit down a minute, Virgie. I want to have aserious talk with you before your mother comeshome. When do you expect her back?"Virginia shot an anxious glance at her fatherbefore replying. Then she walked round to the

Virginia gaspe d in amazement. She was so usedto reckoning her father's fortune in seven figuresthat it seemed absurdly preposterous that he wasface to face with bankruptcy. She couldn't graspthe thing at all,"What about the timber tracts in Manitoba an dthe Canadian Northern shares?""Nobody's buying timber just nowand the^control of the Canadian Northern passed out ofmy hands two months ago. The copper's givingout at this crisis has finished me, I'm up againstit now.

Oh, dad, that would be finesplendid I I wouldlove ittruly,"truly I would. It seems a^es sinceI've ridden a real horse, I shall jiist live in ashirt-waist an d divided skirtand mother shallteach me to cook. I' m sure she'll like it, too. An dit would be the best thing on earth that couldhappen to Charlie,"Suddenly she stopped short, and her face over-- ' spread with a rosy blush. She caught in her breathsharply, almost with regret, it seemed. _" No, no,_ I can't go," she said hurriedly. " I

almost forgot -" Again she stopped,^ and herbrows knitted together in a curious fashion,Her father watched her anxiously. When sheJiad spoken so enthusiastically she had fiHed himwith renewed hope. But now it was evident thather mood had changed." II've a confession to make to you, father,"she faltered. " Please don't blame me too muchil had no right to keep it a secret from you, ofall people, bu t there was a reason which I can'texplain."

"Ye s? " he questioned anxiously, as she paused,"You remember two weeks ago, when we were

"T he scoundrel ""No, no, father; he isn't a scoundrel at all,tie 's the finest, best ma n aliveand he's my husband," she finished in a whisper,"You're married to him? Bu t when, where?"" Two weelis ago, at Fort Myersat a httlccountry church," replied Virginia unevenly. An dthen, her eyes swimming ivith tears, she told himthe whole story of her jealousy of Catherine Wand-ley and the test she had put Cecil to in demandingthat their marriage remain a secret for the present.Her father gazed up forlornly at the ceiling-and

down again at the litter of papers. H e passed hishand across his forehead with a tired gesture." I don't know, Virgieperhaps it's all for thebest, but I never was any hand myself for mysteries, and I'd about made up ray mind that thereain't nothing in it for an American girl when shemarries a foreigner. You've had one dose of th*^Lethbridges, Virgie ""O h, dadd y, dear," Virginia interrupted, hercheeks flaming scarlet.

If he is so weakthat nnother woman can twist Kim around herfinger, in spite of the fact that I love him aboveall else on earth, m y pride wouldn't allow me to

try to keep him. Besides, I' m almost sure heivouldn't care to live over here,""Well, you'll have to settle that between yoii ionly it's hard to lose my little girl again, I ain tas young as I used to be, Virgie, an a troubles tellon me,"He rose stiffly, an d again Virginia noticed theweary lines on his face, and his bowed shoulders.Suppose, if she went back to England, that sheshould never again see him alive?The thought was an agony not to be borne.She rushed to him and threw herself, sobbing, intohis arms,Instinctively she realised that it lay within herpower to help him through his dreadful crisis. Hehad looked to her, confided in her first of all,And this was how she had repaid himby confessing her intention of deserting him in hia hourof extreme need.Virginia knew that it would take all of her tact tostand between him and the mother and son andbreak the force of their reproaches.
