CHAPTER CXVIII.
■ in; were settled in our new home.
VV It was neatly but plainly fur
nished by the owners for renting. A
strange contrast to our luxurious
New York home. But how happy
Robert was. We had a nice big
yard and he lived out of doors. It
was early spring, and Neil at once
started his garden, working in it a
little while each morning and at
night until it was too dark to see. It
was doing him good. He has lost
that gray pallor which had clung to
him ever since the papers exposed
him, and in its place was gaining a
ruddy brown that I told him was
vastly becoming.
He worked very hard in his own
and Mr. Frederick’s interests. It had
been widely remarked upon that:
“Neil Forbes, the former mining
promoter had been made Eastern
representative for the vast interests
of ‘The Fredericks Co.’ It was also
mentioned that “he had settled with
his creditors to their satisfaction.”
When Neil read it he said rather
bitterly.
“I wonder if they would speak so
kindly of me if they knew Scott’s
side of the story.”
“But you will pay him back—some
day.”
“Yes, if I live—some day.”
“Then dear don’t worry. You are
doing well. I know Mr. Frederick
will give you every chance.”
“Sometimes Bab I wonder just
why Frederick has done so much for
me, for us.” Fortunately he was not j
looking at me or he might have not- ■
iced me flush. “It seems strange
that a man would yor pure kindness
go so out of his way to help a fel
low. He could not have donb more
for a son.”
“You are almost young enough to
be his son.”
“But I am not, you know, and it
passes my understanding why he |
has been so good to me. Why Bab,
I never told you half he did in those
days when I remained in his rooms.
How he saw ugly excited people who i
clamored not only for their money, i
but what we, I, had promised them |
besides. Women as well as men ,
•me to him and demanded all they
d been told should be theirs, not
only demanded, btrt threatened. I j
never could have gone through what i
he did for me; not with my nerves in I
the condition they then were.”
“We are very fortunate to have
such a friend.” I scarcely knew how
to reply when Neil praised Freder
ick’s kindness to him. 'I was guiltily
conscious that it was for my sake
he had done all thpt he had, yet
there was no least feeling of guilt
as I recalled my intercourse with
him, or of regret. I had accepted
for Neil’s sake more, far more than
ever I could have accepted for my
self. This Frederick knew.
“Fortunate! we are more than
that. If I were a religious man I
should say we are blest.” Then he
added quietly: “I shall some day
prove my gratitude. It may take
a long time, but I shall find away.”
And I knew he would. In all my
life I never saw a human being pos
sessed of tenacity such as Neil al
ways had exhibited. He had a bull
dog way of accomplishing anything
he undertook that brooked no de
nial, that no disapointment could
cause him to abandon. Real dis
couragements, things that wouli
have made most men give up in des
pair seemed simply to drive him to
greater exertions, and to increase
his tenacity. It was this quality in
him which had made him such a suc
cess along wrong lines; it made for
his success when applied to legiti
mate business.
When I told him what Blanche
Orton had told me before she went
to Europe, he had replied:
“That woman will some day make i
some man supremely happy—if ever
she runs across the right man. But
women will never appreciate her.
scarcely like her. She is emphatical
ly a man’s woman, while being more
feminine in some ways that any
woman I have ever met. lam glad
you parted friends.”
Os that part of his life spent in
her home with his conferes I could
not get Neil to talk. I became sure
he was a bit ashamed of it, although
at the same time I was assured there
had been nothing morally wrong in
association. I often wished he
•ould talk more freely with me
about what occurred at those little
supper parties, but when I broached
the subject he invariably changed
it immediately. Once he said:
“I believe you are still jealous,
Bab.”
Was I?

GOVERNOR DEFENDING
CHINAMAN’S SLAYER
Vr——
ATLANTA, June 12.—Governor
Theodore Bilbo, of Mississippi, arriv
■ ed in Atlanta yesterday to aid in the
j defence of James M. McDonald, for
mer Mississippi politician, whose sec
j ond trial for the killing of Joe, Jung
| widely known Chinese citizen of At
j lanta which began in the criminal di
vision of Superior court. McLonald
I killed the Chinaman in a dispute over
concessions at the Southeastern fair
in Atlanta two years ago. A mistrial
I resulted at the first hearing and Mc-
Donald has been at liberty on bond.
“Bully."
The word “bully” as a familiar term
of address was employed in the time
of Shakespeare and no doubt was old
even then. In the sense of praise
worthy, excellent as, “That was a bully
dinner,” it is used both by Americans
and by British subjects.
