HAT afternoon Keith Gordon went to Warren's to tell Helen of Carson's plan for the removal of Pete. She received him in the big parlor, and he found her seated at one of the wide windows which, in summer-time, was used as a doorway to the veranda. “I met the conquering hero, Mr. Sanders, on my way down,” he said, lightly. “I presume he has been here as usual.” “He only called to say good-bye,” Helen answered, a little coldly.
