DAYTON'S FORTUNE
Jaek Dayton was 2 yet.4 s of ugt
He was handsome, as that term ap
phe-
to men:
he
ho;
extraordinary sense; he was as sober
as a cold water advocate; he was a
lawyer, and he was as po -r a- a
church i!i'rtie and prouder than Lu
cifer before he vus exiled from Leav
en. Jaek J)ayton was as brave as a
Bengal tiger and his poverty never
seemed a burden and a reproach to
him before he met Gussie Yandorn.
After that momentous meeting ,,t
Saratoga two vear.i ag he b it that
he could hang himself becau
be
had not. been bori
with
spoon iii his mouth.
The fact of the matter is, Jaek
Dayton was in love from the soles of
his feet to the crown of his intern et
ual head, ami because he was poor
his pride stood between him and the
rich woman who had stolen his heart
in an unguarded moment.
He had been practically raised in
a lawyer's office. He had entered it
at the age of 12 as general utility
boy and he had left at the age of 22
a finished lawyer, with a few hun
dred dollars saved up during the
loug vears.
"Go somewhere, Jaek," said his
fond mother, ''and stay all the sum
mer, lou never had a vacation m
your life, and you should celebrate
your admission to the bar by taking
one. You have been a hard student;
you have been a loving and devoted
son. Go, take a vacation."
Jack kissed her and took himself
off to Saratoga, the worst place on
earth except Newport, for a man to
go. But Jack was bent upon cele
brating his admission in grand style
and within the limits of S'.iUO. So
he went to Saratoga and took a
modest room at one of the best ho
tels and started in for solid enjoy
luent and profitable review of his
law books.
But the Yandorn's were at Sarato
ga, too, and at the same hotel with
Jack. He got acquainted with them
in in time. He and Gussie got on
famously in an asy pr.ieratiia.tiiig
wav. She was ::
rilliant
woman, v. iin

Ib
eiiou. iie was the mos,t nonchalant,
seli-poses.,fd, and dignified young
man at the springs; a thoughtful yet
often humorous conversationalist.
Everybody wondered what a brilliant
and fashionable woman like Gussie
Yandorn could find to admire in a
studious, self-possessed, and undem
onstrative man like Jackson Dayton.
They were much together about the
hotel, "talkintr literature." somo
would sav.
When Jack's $300 began to get
!own to a fine point he set about re-,
turning to New York. Instead of
taking him tlnough tne summer, it
had just taken six weeks of Sarato
ga m a very quiet way to eat the life
out of it. There is nothing like a
summer hotel for eating up ruonev.
Jack had to go. but he wanted to
stav.
While they were out for a quiet
walk one afternoon about the middle
of August, Jack said:
'Miss Yandorn, I go to New York
to-morrow. My vacation is at an
end."
Miss Yandorn was silent as a
tombstone. Jack was surprised
thereby, and cast a Lastv glance at
her face. He was startled. He could
not mistake the surprised and be
wildered expression on her counte
nance Lis abrupt declaration Lad
provoked. His Leart gave a great
leap, and tLen stood still.
"If I say I go with regret, it is
because you Lave made my stav so
very pleasant." he managed to say.
"Mut you go.'" asked Gussie.
"I must go. I am but a poor
young lawyer with a loving mother
to support. My hour is over. It
seems like a dream."
"What seems like a dream.'"
"The few weeks I have been here
and privileged to have so much of
your society."
"I shall be pleased to receive you
at our home in New York. Mr. Pav
ton." "Miss Yazdicrn." said he solemnly.
I '-we LaTe alwavs been frank with
each other; let me be so now. I can
not visit you. Why' I am too poor
to be numbered among your New
York friends."
"I houhlnt uund your poverty,
Mr. D.tyton. 'Worth makes the man
anil want of it the fellow, you
know."
"Ye-: but the World does hot ot,k
at it that way: neither do I. I've- got
to struggle for a place to stand.
Some dav wo mav meet ajain. I
pray that we may. And it will -n ::.

All this pas.-ed through Jack Day
ton's mind two vears after it had oc
curred. He had had a hard simp
le. With all his brilliant talents
he had a hard time of it to make
ends meet. He w as brave and hope
ful, ami he nurtured these by think
ing of the brilliant woman he had
not met since he parted with her at
Saratoga. He heard of Ler often,
but Le purposely avoided meeting
Ler.
'What's the use?" he would ask
himself.
"Jack," said his mother as he went
home one night, "I have never spok
en to you about your father, because
the subject is a painful one to me.
But I have heard news to-day
throi.gh Lis father's lawyers which
you hould know."
"Well, mother, what's the news?
I have never taken any stock in mv
father, because you never told me
anything about him. and I concluded
that he must have wronged von very
deeply."
"He did Jack. He thought he
loved me. but he did not. He mar
ried me. and when he found that his
rich father would not sanction the
marriage, lie deserted me. For
year.- he has lived in Europe, lb
drank very hard, so I have Le:;rd.
He nevt r wrote to me. but his law
yers have paid me a small sume verv
quarter as you know."
"We!!, yes," said Jack; "I know
you drew tiie money, but I didn't
know that lie was living, and that
he is rich. I shall institute action
to recover your rightful share of Lis
money."
"But he is now dead. Jack."
"Dead:"
"Yes; ho died in Paris a month
ago."
WLen Jack entered Lis office the
next morning his head was full of
the news his mother had told him
and projects to look into his father's
affairs to protect his own, and his
mother's interest. He had hardly
jot settled down to Lis work lief ore
a spruce young man in a footman's
livery presented Limself and Landed
Lim a sealed letter. He read tLe let
ter witL mingled emotions. He put
on Lis coat and Lat and followed tLe
servant to tLe pavement and enter
ed tLe magnificent carriage in wait
ing. TLe carnage stopped before a
rich house in one of the uptown lo
calities, and the doors flew open as
Jack approacLed tLeni.
He was led to a large bedroom.
He walked to the side of tLe bed,
around wLicL two physicians and
one or two servants were cono-reat-ed.
Everybody made way for Lim.
A sunken Land was Leld out to Lim
and Le grasped it.
"Y'oung man," said a faint voice,
"I wronged your mother wLen sLe
was young. Your father is now-
dead. He was a rascal. I have kept
track of you through the years since
you were born. I have not Ion"- to
live. I want you io forgive me be
fore I die. I will not ask your moth
er to forge me because I have oc
casioned Ler too much sorrow. All
my wealth is yours. Y'ou Lave only
to see my lawyers. Jenks and Jenks.
You will find everything in shape,
for my house has been in order a
great many years against this Lour-."
Jaek sank by the side of the bed
thoroughly unnerved. He was a
strong man but in this Lour wLen
the past was to be atom-d for and
death hovered about the grandfath-
er who Lad wronged Lim. but whom
Le Lad never seen before, he was as
weak as a chili.

"Miss Yandorn. will you pardon

"Mr. Dayton you have- been free
to call upon me. by invitation, for
thejpast two years."
"But I thought you may have for

"Jack gazed into her eyes a mo

days since they had parted. Her
eyes dropped beneath his, and her
face was suffused with blusbes. SLe
had not forgotten. He said, with
simple eloquenc:

"You need not have waited two
years, Mr. Dayton," she said witli a
