would give her father some work to do
in his garden, and in that way Mr. Cole
also entered our employ. A year ago
Mr. Cole became ill. and Elsie was
forced to take her savings and devote
them to caring for her father. They left
our employ. and for a long time w
heard nothing of them. When we found
them again they were in utter want,
but Elsie had been too proud to come
to us for help. We found them living
in York street, Brooklyn, the place you
saw to a .
“Mr. Cole's condition was very seri-
ous, and I was fortunately able to help
Elsie care for him. To do this I made
frequent visits to the tenement in York
street, begging Elsie the time to
allow us to care for her and her father
and remove him to some better place.
But to this Elsie would not listen.
“Then. one day when returning from
Elsie’s, I met Mr. Lloyd under the pc-
culiar circumstances of which you all
know. Elsie had told me of her uncle
and his peculiarities, and immediately
I felt that he must have died leaving a
fortune which in some way was about
to slip from Elsie‘s grasp. l<‘r'ankly, Mr.
Lloyd, I did not believe your story.

your doing so if possible. The notoriety

AT A huge office building in lower

Standing with his back to his flat-

felt certain that you were honest in
your good will toward her. but Mr.
Cole refused to have anything to do
with you or Mr. Colin Cole’s legacy.

as she had got you over the wire. That
was the last opportunity he gave us to
reach you.”
“And do you believe now that I am
in earnest in saying that Elsie shall
have her share of Colin Cole's estate if
I can obtain it for her?" ,
-' “I do believe that now, Mr. Lloyd."
the girl said frankly,‘ "and I beg your
pardon for doing you an injustice. I'm
sorry." .
For answer. Jack went to one of the
doors leading into another room, un-
locked it, and opened it. Thru it came
an odd figure. A little old man, bent
and tottering, with long white hair and
great, shaggy white eyebrows. shuffled
into the room leaning on a cane. For
a moment he looked at the assembled
group, peering at each in turn, then
with an odd little croak stumbled over
to Elsie Cole and held out his arms.
“Elsie! My little niece!” he said.
" on't you know me’! I‘m your Uncle
Colin."
The girl stared at him in terror for
a moment. then slowly her face went
red, her eyes filled with tears, and
sinking back into her chair she burst
into a spasm of sobbing. The old man
stood before her. Shaklllg his head
slowly from side top side, seemingly
frightened by the violence of her grief.
In a helpless way he turned to Lloyd.
