,fe MHB 1 desired to Befioid "the "face of none of his friends until he had fought out some things within himself. So he strode on toward nowhere. Day was breaking when Mr. Gray climbed the stairs to his room. There were two flights, the ascent of the first of which occupied about half an hour of Crailey's invaluable time, and the second might have taken more of it or possibly consumed the greater part of the morning had he received no assist ance but, as he reclined to meditate upon the first landing, another man en tered the hallway from without, as cended quickly, and Crailey became pleasantly conscious that two strong hands had lifted him to his feet and presently that he was being borne aloft upon the newcomer's back. It seemed quite a journey, yet the motion was soothing, so he made no effort to open his eyes until he found himself gently deposited upon the couch in his own chamber, when he smiled amiably and, looking up, discovered his partner standing over him. Tom was \ery pale, and there were deep violet scrawls beneath his eyes. For once his life he had come home later than Crailey "First time, you know," said Crailey, with difficulty. "You'll admit first time completely incapable? Often needed guiding hand, but neverquitebe- fore." "Yes," said Tom quietly, "it is the first time I ever saw you quite fin ished." "Think I must be growing old, and constitution refuses bear it. Disgrace ful to be seen in condition, yet celebra tion justified. H'rah for the news!" He waved his hand wildly. "Old red, white and blue! American eagle now kindly proceed to scream! Star span gled banner intends streaming to all the trade winds! Sea to sea! Glorious victories on political thieving exhibi tionno, expedition! Everybody not responsible for the trouble to go and get himself patriotically killed!" "What do you mean?" "Water!" said the other feebly. Tom brought the pitcher, and Crailey, set ting his hot lips to it, drank long and deeply then, with his friend's assist ance, he tied a heavily moistened towel round his head. "All right very soon and sober again," he muttered and lay back upon the pillow with eyes tightly closed in an intense effort to concen trate his will. When he opened them again, four or five minutes later, they had marvelously cleared and his look was self contained and sane. "Haven't you heard the news?" He spoke much more easily now. "It came at midnight to the Journal." "No I've been walking in the coun- try." "The Mexicans crossed the Rio Grande on the 26th of last month, cap tured Captain Thornton and murdered Colonel Crook. That means war is cer- tain." "It has been certain for a long time," said Tom. "Polk has forced it from the first." "Then it's a pity he can't be the only man to die!" "Have they called for volunteers?" asked Tom, gomg toward the door. "No, but if the news is true they will." "Yes," said Tom, and as he reached the hallway he paused. "Can I help you to undress?" "Certainly not!" Crailey sat up in dignantly. "Can't you see that I'm per fectly sober? It was the merest tem porary fit, and I've shaken it off. Don't yon see?" He got upon his feet stag gered and came to the door with infirrr steps "You're going to bed, aren't you?" asked Tom. "You'd much better." "No," answered Crailey. "Are you?" "No. I'm going to work." "You've been all up night, too, haven't you?" Crailey put his hand on the oth er's shoulder. "Were you hunting for me?" "No not last night." Crailey lurched suddenly, and Tom caught him about the waist to steady him. "Sweethearting, tippling, vingt-et-un or poker, eh, Tom?" he shouted thickly, with a wild laugh. "Ha, ha, old smug face, up to my bad tricks at last!" But, recovering himself immediately, he pushed the other off at arm's length and slapped himself smartly on the brow. "Never mind all right, all right only a bad wave now and then. A walk will make me more a man than ever." "You'd much better go to bed, Crai- ley." "I can't. I'm going to change my clothes and go out." "Why?" Crailey did not answer, but at that moment the Catholic church bell, sum moning the faithful to mass, pealed loudly on the morning air, and the steady glance of Tom Vanrevel rested upon the reckless eyes of the man be side him as they listened together to its insistent call. Tom said gently, al most timidly: "You have anengagement?" This time the answer came briskly. "Yes. I promised to take Fanchon to the cemetery before breakfast, to place some flowers on the grave of the little brother who died. This happens to be his birthday It was Tom who averted his eyes, not Crailey. "Then you'd best hurry," he said hesi tatingly "I mustn't keep you," and went downstairs to his office with flush ed cheeks, a hanging head and an ex pression which would have led a stran ger to believe that he had just beer caught in a lie. He went to the Main street window and seated himself upon the ledge, the only one in the room not too dusty for occupation, for here, at this hour, Tom had taken his place every morning since Elizabeth Carewe had come from the convent. The window was a coign of vantage, commanding the corner of Carewe and Main streets. Some dis- v. tance west of tne corner the Catholic church cast its long shadow across Mam street, and in order to enter the church a person who lived upon Ca rewe street must pass the corner or else make a half mile detour and ap proach from th other direction, which the person nevjr uid Tom had thought it out the first night that the image of Miss Betty had kept him awake, and that was. the first night Miss Carewe spent in Rouen. The St. Mary's girl would be sure to go to mass every day, which w.w why the window ledge was dusted the next morning. The gii^s doors of the little corner drug store caught the early sun of the hot May morning and became l'ko It' seemed quite a journey. sheets of polished brass a farmer's wagon rattled down the dusty street a group of Irish waitresses from the ho tel made the board walk rattle under their hurried steps as they went to ward the church, talking to one anoth er, and a blinking youth in his shirt sleeves, who wore the air of one newly but not gladly risen, began to struggle mournfully with the shutters of Ma drillon's bank. A moment later Tom heard Crailey come down the stairs, sure of foot and humming lightly to himself. The door of the office was closed. Crailey did not look in, but presently appeared on the opposite side of the street and offered badinage to the boy who toiled at the shutters. The bell had almost ceased to ring when a lady, dressed plainly black, but graceful and tall, came rapidly out of Carewe street, turned at the corner by the little drug store and went to ward the church. The boy was left staring, for Crailey's banter broke off in the middle of a word. He overtook her on the church steps, and they went in together That afternoon Fanchon Bareaud told Tom how beautiful her betrothed had been to her. He had brought her a great bouquet of violets and lilies of the valley and had taken her to the cemetery to place them on the grave of her baby brother, whose birthday it was. Tears came to Fanchon's eyes as she spoke of her lover's goodness and of how wonderfully he had talked as they stood beside the little grave. "He was the only one who remem bered that this was poor tiny Jean's birthday." she said and sobbed "He came just after breakfast and asked me to go out there with him." CHAPTER XII. ^JR CAREWE returned one I warm May afternoon by the 6 o'clock boat, which was sometimes a day late and sometimes a few hours early, the lat ter contingency arising, as in the pres ent instance, when the owner was aboard Nelson drove him from the wharf to the bank, where he conferred briefly in an undertone with Eugene Madrillon, after which Eugene sent a note containing three words to Tap pingham Marsh. Marsh tore up the note and sauntered over to the club, where he found General Trumble and Jefferson Bareaud. "He has come," said Tappmgham, pleased to find the pair the only occu pants of the place. "He saw Madril lon, and there's a session tonight "Praise the Lord!" exclaimed the stout general, rising to his feet. "I'll see old Chenoweth at once. My fingers have the itch." "And mine, too," said Bareaud. "I'd begun to think we'd never have a go with him again." "You must see that Crailey comes. We want a full table. Drag him if you can't get him any other way." "He won't need urging." said Jeffer son. "But he cut us last time." "He won't cut tonight. What hour?" "Nine," answered Tappingham. "It's to be a full sitting, remember." "Don't fear for us," laughed Trum ble. "Now for Crailey," Jefferson added. "After so long a vacation you couldn't keep him away if you chained him to the courthouse pillars. He'd tear 'em in two!" But Jefferson did not encounter the alacrity of acceptance he expected from Crailey when he found him half an hour later at the hotel. Indeed, at first Mr. Gray not only refused outright, but seriously urged the same course upon Jefferson. Moreover, his remonstrance was offered in such good faith that Bareaud, in the act of swallowing one of his large doses of quinine, paused with only half the powder down his throat, gazing, nonplused, at his pro spective brother-in-law. "My immortal soul!" he gasped. "Is this Crailey Gray? What's the trou- ble?" "Nothing," replied Gray quietly. "Only don't go you've lost enough." "Well, you're a beautiful one!" Jef ferson exclaimed, with an incredulous laugh. "You're a master hand. You to talk about losing enough!"" "I know, I know," Crailey began, shaking his head, "but" "You've promised Fanchon never to go again, and you're afraid Miss Betty will see or hear us and tell her you were there." "I don't know Miss Carewe." "Then you needn't fear. Besides, she'll be out when we come and asleep when we go. She will never know we've been the house." "That has nothing to do with it," said Crailey impatiently, and he was the more earnest because he remember ed the dangerous geography of the Ca rewe house, which made it impossible for any one to leave the cupola room except by the long hall which passed certain doors. "I will not go, and, what's more, I promised Fanchon I'd try to keep ou out of it hereafter." "Lord, but we're virtuous!" laughed the incredulous Jefferson. "I'll come for you at a quarter to 9." "I will not go, I tell you." Jefferson roared. "Yes, you will. You couldn't keep from it if you tried!" And he took himself off, laughing vio lently, again promising to call for Crai ley on his way to the tryst and leaving him still warmly protesting that it would be a great folly for either of them to go. Crailey looked after the lad's long, thin figure with an expression as near anger as he ever wore. "He'll go," he said to himself. "Andah, wellI'll have to risk it! I'll go with him, but only to try to bring him away earlythat is, as early as it's safe to be sure that they are asleep downstairs. And I won't play. No, I'll not play I'll not play." Ho went out of the hotel by a side door. Some distance up the street Bareaud was still to be seen, lounging homeward in the pleasant afternoon sunshine He stopped on a corner and serenely poured another quinine pow der into himself and threw the paper to a couple of pigs that looked up from the gutter maliciously. "Confound him!" said Crailey, laugh ing ruefully "He makes me a mis sionaryfor I'll keep my word to Fan chon in that, at least! I'll look after Jefferson tonight. Ah, I might as well be old Tom Yanrevel, indeed!" Meanwhile Mr. Carewe had taken possession of his own again. His daughter ran to the door to meet him. She was trembling a little and, blush ing and smiling, held out both her hands to him, so that Mrs. Tanberry vowed this was the loveliest creature in the world, and the kindest. Mr Carewe bowed slightly, as to an acquaintance, and disregarded the ex tended hands At that the blush faded from Miss Betty's cheeks, she trembled no more, and a salutation as icy as her father's was returned to him He bent his heavy brows upon her and shot a black glance her way, being, of course, immediately enraged by her reflection of his own manner, but he did not speak to her. Nor did he once address her during the evening meal, preferring to honor Mrs. Tanberry with his conversation, to that diplomatic lady's secret anger, but outwar-l amusement. She cheerful ly fieglected to answer him at times, having not the slightest awe of him, and turned to the girl instead indeed, she was only prevented from rating him soundly at his own table by the fear that she might make the situation more difficult for her young charge. As soon as it was possible she made her escape with Miss Betty, and they drove away the twilight to pay visits of duty, leaving Mr Carewe frowning at his coffee on the veranda. When they came home three hours later Miss Betty noticed that a fringe of illumination bordered each of the heavily curtained windows in the cu pola, and she uttered an exclamation, for she had never known that room to be lighted. "Look!" she cried, touching Mrs. Tanberry's arm, as the horses trotted through the gates under a drizzle of rain. "I thought the room in the cupola was empty. It's always locked, and when I came from St. Mary's he told me that old furniture was,, stored there." Mrs. Tanberry was grateful for the darkness. "He may have gone there to read," she answered in a queer voice. "Let us go quietly to bed, child, so as not to disturb him." Betty had as little desire to disturb her father as she had to see him there fore she obeyed her friend's injunction and went to her room on tiptoe. The house was very silent as she lit the candles on her bureau. Outside the gentle drizzle and the soothing tinkle from the eaves were the only sounds. Within there was but the faint rustle of garments from Mrs. Tanberry's room. Presently the latter ceased to be heard, and a wooden moan of protest from the four poster upon which the good lady reposed announced that she had drawn the curtains and wooed the rulers of Nod. Although it was one of those nights of which they say, "It is a good night to sleep," Miss Betty was not drowsy. She had half unfastened one small san dal, but she tied the ribbons again and seated herself by the open window. Peering out into the dismal night, she found her own future as black, and it seemed no wonder that the sisters loved the convent life that the pale nuns forsook the world wherein there was so much useless unkindness, where women were petty and jealous, like that cowardly Fanchon, and men who looked great were tricksters, like Fan chon's betrothed. Miss Betty clinched her delicate fingers. She would not re member that white, startled face again. Another face helped her to shut out the recollectionthat of the man who had come to mass to meet her yester day morning and with whom she had taken a long walk afterward. He had shown her a quaint old English garden erjvho lived on the bank of the river, THE PHT^TCETO^T mSTTO^F: THTHRSDAT, MAECH 8, 1906 had bouglit her a bouquet, and she had helped him to select another to send to a sick friend. How beautiful the flow ers were and how happy he had made the morning for her with his gayety, his lightness and his odd wisdom! Was it only yesterday? Her father's com ing had made yesterday a fortnight old. But the continuously pattering rain and the soft drip, drop from the roof, though as mournful as she chose to find them, began after awhile to weave their somnolent spells, and she slowly drifted from reveries of unhappy sorts into half dreams, in which she was still aware she was awake, yet slum ber, heavy eyed, stirring from the cur tains beside her with the small night breeze, breathed strange distortions upon familiar things, and drowsy im possibilities moved upon the surface of her thoughts. Her chin, resting upon her hand, sank gently until her head almost lay upon her relaxed arms. "That is mine, Crailey Gray!" She sprang to her feet, immeasurably startled, one hand clutching the back of her chair, the other tremulously pressed to her cheek, convinced that her father had stooped over her and shouted the sentence in her ear. For it was his voice, and the house rang with the words. All the rooms, halls, and even the walls, still seemed, mur murous with the sudden sound, like the tinkling of a bell after it has been struck. And yeteverything was quiet. She pressed her fingers to her fore head, trying to untangle the maze of dreams which had evolved this shock for her, the sudden clamor in her fa ther's voice of a name she hated and hoped never to hear again, a name she was trying to forget, but as she was unable to trace anything which had led to it there remained only the con clusion that her nerves were not what they should be. The vapors having be come obsolete for young ladies as an explanation for all unpleasant sensa tions, they were instructed to have "nerves." This was Miss Betty's first consciousness of her own, and, desir ing no greater acquaintance with them, she told herself it was unwholesome to fall asleep in a chair by an open win dow when the night was as sad as she. Turning to a chair in front of the small oval mirror of her bureau, she unclasped the brooch which held her lace collar and, seating herself, began to unfasten her hair. Suddenly she paused, her uplifted arms falling me chanically to her sides. Some one was coming through the long hall with a soft, almost inaudible step, a step which was not her father's. She knew at once, with instinctive cer tainty, that it was not he. Nor was it Nelson, who would have shuffled nor could it be the vain Mamie, nor one of the other servants, for they did not sleep in the house. It was a step more like a woman's, though certainly it was not Mrs. Tanberry's. Betty rose, took a candle and stood silent for a moment, the heavy tresses of her hair, half unloosed, falling upon her neck and left shoulder like the folds of a dark drapery. At the slight rustle of her rising the steps ceased instantly. Her heart set up a wild beating, and the candle shook her hand. But she was brave and young, and, following an irresisti ble impulse, she ran across the room, flung open the door and threw the light of the candle into the hall, holding it at arm's length before her. She came almost face to face with Crailey Gray. The blood went from his cheeks as a swallow flies down from a roof. He started back against the opposite wall with a stifled groan, while she stared at him blankly and grew as deathly pale as he. He was a man of great resource in all emergencies which required a quick tongue, but for the moment this was beyond him. He felt himself lost, top pling backward into an abyss, and the uselessnes3 of his destruction made him physically sick For he need not have been there he had not wished to come he had well counted the danger to himself, and this one tune in his life had gone to the cupola room out of good nature. But Bareaud had been obstinate, and Crailey had come away alone, hoping that Jefferson might fol low. And here he was, poor trapped rat, convicted and ruined because of a good action! At last he knew consist ency to be a jewel and that a greedy boy should never give a crust that a fool should stick to his folly, a villain to his deviltry and- each hold his own for the man who thrusts a good deed into a life of lies is wound about with perilous passes, and in his devious ways a thousand unexpected damna tions spring. Beaten, stunned, hang-jawed with despair, he returned her long, dum founded gae hopelessly and told the truth like an inspired dunce. "I cameI cameto bring another man away," he whispered brokenly and, -at the very moment, several heavy, half suppressed voices broke in to eager talk overhead. The white hand that held the candle wavered, and the shadows glided in a huge, grotesque dance. Twice she es sayed to speak before she could do so, at the same moment motioning him back, for he had made a vague gesture toward her. [TO'BE CONTINUED.] Afflicted With Rheumatism.
