—, 30 woman would be apt to make things rather warmer than is comfortable by a darned large majority.” It must be confessed that Orson Oxx was | strongly tempted to drop a hint now and then that would have brought the recreant husband to book and precipitated an outbreak, but he con- cluded it was as well not to do so. | Consequently to this day, the good lady has no suspicion that her handsome husband was ever guilty of flirting with any of the gentler sex. Orson considered the week passed among the fragrant pines as so much absolute rest. Hs had been so actively occupied, that the ces‘ation from care and anxiety was welcome to him. By-and-by he began to feel restless, Longings for his old, exciting, perilous life came back to him, and he felt that, if compelled to spend a month in the lonely pine barrens, he would die. It was not long, therefore, before he was engaged, body and soul, in another dangerous enterprise, which required all the powers of his body and mind. Perhaps we shall have something to tell our readers about it ere long. The investments made by Algol Langdon with the property of his ward were of the wild- eat order and some of them resulted disas- trously. But otbers turned out unexpectedly well. Tbe Winking Demon dipped in so many dif- ferent directions, that be could scarcely fail to gather in something. A careful computation showed that the ag- gregate result was about the same, as though he had beld the property undisturbed and then turned it over to the young lady, as com- manded by the provisions of the will. These investments were made in such a man- ner that no returns could be expected before Ethel reached the age of twenty-one. In nearly every case suca was the specifica- tion in the curious agreement made by the crimival with his partners. Consequently on the marriage of his niece, before the time specified, the uncle would have been placed in a most disagreeable predicament had he been called on for an accounting, as he certainly would bave been. But Ethel always felt that he overestimated | the consequences of such an obligation, She could not believe that it was the dread he felt of facing such an accounting that led him to determine that the marriage should not take place for a couple of years. It was bis crooked, perverse, morbid nature that led bim to wish to compass the death of the young man, who bad never done him wrong, but who had already suffered awful in- jury at his bands. It may be just, as well as charitable, to be- lieve that had a commission on lunacy made an impartial investigation of the mental condi- tion of the parties who have figured in this narrative, they would have pronounced Algol Langdon, the Winking D>»mon, that most dan- gerous of all individuals with which a suffering community can be afflicted, viz.—‘“‘ a crank.” THE END.
