The Result of the Search For the
? Man Who Went Away.
By VIRGINIA BLAIR.

Press. J
"Well, of course," Miss Lavlnla con
fided, "1 ain glad to have It, but It's
unsettling:."
Mrs. Brlggs sniffed. "It wouldn't
unsettlo me If any one left me $10,000.
I would know what to do with It."
Miss Lariula leaned forward eagerly.
"What would you do, June?" she de
manded.
"Oh, well," Mrs. Brlggs hesitated.
"I'd get some new clothes right away
nnd tlx up tho house, and entertain my
friends, and tako a trip and have an
automobile"?
"I have thought of those things, but
thjy don't seem to bo just what I
want, after all. Maybe I'll Just put It
out at Interest."
"Now, look here, Lavlnla Latimer,"
Mrs. Brlggs said solemuly, "don't you
do any such thing. You've got enough
to live on. such as It Is, and my advlco
Is to take some of the money and havo
*n good time. Goodness only knows
you haven't had many good times."
?>*o, I havou't," Miss Lavlnla admit
ted somewhat wistfully. "Well, I'll
think It over, Jape."
And after Mrs. Brlggs had gono Miss
Lavlnla picked up her big yellow cat
and told him her Innermost wish. "I'm
going to use some of that money to
find out where John Forbes Is," sho
whispered, "but I wouldn't tell Jane."
But to look for the man who had left
town ten years ago was uot an easy
matter And Lavlnla Latimer was not
wise In methods. But she wanted to
know the fate of her old lover, and so
It happened that ten days after her
talk with Jane Brlggs, Miss Lavlnla
went to town.
"I'm going to buy clothes," was tho
reasou she gave, but when she camo
to the big town It was uot to tho
stores that she made her way, but to
a dusty, musty little oUlce In a squalid
street.
"McDermott. private detective," said
the sign.
Miss Lavlnla was all pink and whlto
and pretty as she stated her case. But
Mr. McDermott set her at once at her
ease. He was a brisk little man with
curly white hair and red cheeks.
"So you want to lltul John Forbes,"
he said. "Is he a relative?"
' "Oh, no!" And Miss Lavlnla blush
ed.
| "Owe you any aaoucyV" McDcrmott
! demanded.
"Oh. uo, no!" Miss Latimer cried dls
; tressfully. "We were engaged fifteen
j years ago, aud I couldn't marry him,
! because I had to stay with my old
father and mother? and he ? ho went
away? and I promised that when I
was free 1 would let him know.
"Oh!" McDermott ejaculated, and
after a pause, ''Were you expecting to
find him still single?"
"I? I'm not sure."
McDermott tugged at his mustache.
"The chances ore that hell bo mar
ried."
"Of course," Miss Lavlnla agreed,
"but 1 should like to be sure."
"Surely," said McDermott. "You Just
let me have the case, and I'll bring
you news of John Forbes before you
know It."
McDcrmott reported regularly once
a week by letter to Miss Lavlnla and
as regularly received her answers.
Miss Lavlnla wrote on pale vlolot
paper that gave forth a perfume of
fresh flowers In the stuffy little office.
McDermott found himself laying those
letters in u little drawer by themselves,
and one day La early sprlug, when ho
had traveled out iuto the country on a
case, he spied some violets by tho way
side. He picked them and brought
them home and laid them with the let
ters In the drawer.
McDcrmott had money of his own,
so that Miss Lavlnla's little fortune
had no charms for him. but the
thought of her delicate presence In his
home often came to him with a sense
of Irresistible attraction.
"But if she finds Johu Forbes single
she will marry hlui," he would say
with a sigh, and the temptation to
overlook clews was great.
In June be called on her and found
her in her garden with a little low
table in front of her ou which was set
forth a lemonade service. Miss La
vinia was In pale mauve with a hat
wreathed with violets. "When you
wrote you were coming," she said to
McDcrmott, "I thought you would en
joy It better here in the garden? it's
cooler."
"Well, if you knew what a nice
change it was from that office in
town," sighed the little man.
If'cr that he came often, and grad
ually It began to be rumored ia the
town that Miss Lavlnla was "keeping
company" with a man from the city.
"Well, 1 must say that I like his
looks," Mrs. Brlggs told Miss Lavlnla
when she came over one morning after
McDermott had callcd.
"He Is Just a business acquaint
ince," Miss Lavlnla protested.
Mrs. Brlggs sniffed. "I guess you
wouldn't be dressing up in those pretty
clothes and waving your hair Just for
a business man."
Miss Lavinia blushed and sighed.
"You don't know how many things I
have to look after since I got my
money."
To tell the truth, tho search for John
Forbes began to weigh on her. She
realized that with the coming of John
Forbes would end the visits ot John
McDermott.
McDermott continued doggedly with
his search. He didn't want to find
John Forbes, or If he did find him he
hoped that he would be married. But
U Luvlola lAt>o?er wanted
