Quickly leaves town on best procurable

Is attempting to beat that of rival com
pany. Amid wild scenes the coach dashes
out of town.
Esther asked Sally B. how she liked
her fellow parishioners.
"'Tain't no matter how I like them.
What I've started to do is to make
them like me. But it's no go. They'll
take to Vi, an' to my money but
they'll never swaller me."
"How do you know?"
"Oh, they eat my dinners say
they're splendificent. An' they invite me
to their'n. But most gene'ally it's Bill
an' Vi an' me a-playin* a lone hand fur
visitors. Or if they's other folks, they
wink an' tech—touch one another
when I talk. They think I don't size
'em up but I ain't a durn fool all the
time, if they do bleed me like thun
der."
"Bleed you?"
"You bet! They think they do it
slick, an' I don't let on, but just give,
give, to all kinds of missioners, an'
all kinds of poor boxes, till I wonder
how much they pay the man that in
vents so many ways."
"I can imagine how generous you
are, Esther said approvingly
"There's one piece
of
me run my
work
after the poor. Some­
way, I can understand them folks
tell whether it's grub or
a
Esther sighed. Did any one in all
the world need her? "How does Mr.
Bernard like the new home?" she
asked, stepping across the room for
another view of the beautiful grounds^
"Oh, like me, bang up. Yet what
you're raised to don't git out of the
blood in a minute. An' I know Bill
dreams at night of the mountains an'
the mines, 'cause he hollers out in
his sleep about 'em."
She was busy bringing from hook
and shelf and drawer a billowy flood
of heterogeneous finery. Her tongue
voiced a new mood and Esther, not
without sympathy for the "big bugs,"
recognized Sally B.'s company man
ner.
"This hei-e is made by Worth of
Paree. I hope it will be worth as
much to me as it was to him. Ain't
it orfay? And here's one that's just
magnif! I brought them all over my
self—wore 'em all first to save duty.
My! But maybe you think't wa'n't no
job to Hop around a hotel parlor in a
new dress four times a day! Whew!
It makes me sweat now to think of it!
Ain't that red just—"
"liogaJ!" Esther finished, as Sally
B., for a wonder, paused for a word.
"Like it?" Sally B. displayed with
pride the scarlet satin robe, spangled
from hem to throat, and finished with
costly gold lace. "That's my own
design, an' my favorite of all I got.
Worth told me never to tell it was his
make. Wouldn't put his tag on it.
Didn't
want to
s'pose.
steal my thunder,
Yes. An' I'd rather he would. His
manners don't somehow fit what he's
got now. I never noticed that Bill
was short on manners when he was
wearin' a blue shirt, an' punchin'
mules, or huntin' a lead. But in this
fine house, hini a pushin' victuals with
a
silver knife, an' eatin' soup audible,
while people sets round an' tries not
to laugh an' the flowers and the pic
tures someway shamin' him—why
good feller as he is, I wish he'd go
back to his blue shirt an' mules, or
else buy some manners. An' the worst
of it is, I know I got just as bad a case
of not fittin' here myself only I'm
that stuck on myself, I can't see it.
I've—been
going back right now on all
my polish for
a
coon's age."
Esther ventured no reply, and the
ether woman began to put away her
wardrobe. "Ain't it too bad maw had
to die 'fore I got a chance to wear half
these here new things? Black's so un
becoming! An' I can't even wear
white ruches them's for widders."
Ether was startled. No wonder con
ventional people could not understand
Sally B/ Esther knew that no more
devoted daughter had ever lived than
Sally B. had been yet who, that knew
nothing of this would believe it in the
face of her last remark?
"Bet she had
a
good time," the other
went on. "We took her all over Yer
rup
an'

we come home.

Clever of him, wa'n't it? Say!

bank or I'd show 'em to you—I look—"
"We've used the only word, Mrs.
Sally—regal," Esther laughed, think
ing of her
at
a fancy dress ball as the
Queen of Sheba.
"Oh, what a pretty thing this is!"
•he said, lifting
a
pale gray gown from
(he filmy heap.
"Yes, I s'pose the toot onsembel of
that's good. But them pale colors
don't fit me an' the work on that
won't stand the eyes of a con
nlshoner."
"I suppose Mr. Bernard has a lot
of things, too," Esther said as soon as
she could control her face.
"You bet! Only men's things ain't
interestin' like women's. I wish men
wore lace an' things, like they did
when that picture was took." She
glanced up at an exquisite engraving
of a scene at the court of Louis XIV.
"I presume Mr. Bernard would
rather wear the dress of 1869."
I
thank God for that." She went in and
out of the closet once or twice with
out speaking, and Esther waited.
Her sentences had been tossed by
gusts of emotion now speech was
entirely wrecked. While she strug
gled for calmness Viola entered.
"Oh, Stella! Esther!" Viola's arms
went round the other girl impulsively
and she burst into tears.
"What under the canopy are ye cry
ing for?" her mother asked yet sh«
knew and her own tears were hardly
restrained.
"Oh, ma, it's so good to see her! She
belongs to the old, honest time when
we said what we thought, or kept
•till."
The mother winced. Viola's unus
ual emotion disclosed unwelcome facts.
She was taller, and had blossomed
into a soft, wood-violet sort of beauty
that yet had something mystic about
it as rare as felicitous.
They spoke of many things, Viola's
womanhood enfolding her in a mantle
of sedateness. Esther knew she had
been defrauded of her girlhood, and
longed to set her free from her un
youthful self-control wondered if she
would, at the last test, sacrifice herself
to her mother's ambition.
They went the round of the bed
rooms, the kitchen, where Yic Wah
greeted Esther with voluble cordiality
swept gardens and Esther was pre
paring for the street when the maid
brought a card.
"Mr. Bryan, ma," Viola said. Her
face grew gray and dull while her
mother's was swept by a quick pano
rama of doubt, question, mother love,
ambition.
She put her arm about Viola's slen
der waist "Honey, mammy expects a
heap of you. Will you do it?"
Viola turned suddenly, spoke with
strange impetuosity. "Don't, ma! I
can't do it! Freddy Bryan's honest

protesting hand, and even Sally B.
was held to silence by the new stern
ness in her daughter.
And Esther, distressed at the trag
edy in the girl's face, made her adieus
quickly, that Sally B. might not see
the angry resentment in her heart.
CHAPTER XXVI.
Gideon's Story.
Between the social gardens of Sac
ramento and San Francisco Amabel
flitted, gathering the honeydew she
fed upon. When Esther met her she
was as gay with one cavalier as with
another, until Alfred appeared. He
was never her escort yet if he came
to party or theater she claimed him at
once. Esther became convinced that
the barrier that had once separated
herself from Alfred now existed be
tween him and Amabel that for Ama
bel's sake he insisted on her perfect
freedom in the eyes of society. This
conviction did not bring tranquillity
and Esther asked herself bitterly, why,
in all the throng that followed her,
there was not some brave and honest
souf that could dislodge Alfred from
her heart. As the winter waned she
found herself very weary of the mo
notonous round, of the days ^d nights
that loomed before her, sti^.ohing to
blank, gray years. And when the
warm sunshine adorned the hills with
rioting bloom, more and more she
spent solitary hours on the road with
her smart team, her most conspicuous
extravagance.
"Valentine's day," she mused this

dining room, and looked over the at

messenger valentines of the old lace

would never accept—all the what-not

years ago. One offering charmed her.

the
Gould, reads like one of Mrs. South
worth's novels yet it is only one of
the many dramas resulting from the
clash of Latin and Anglo-Saxon in
California.
"In the early '40s a young New Eng
land teacher, William Anthony by
Aame, sea-voyaging for his health,
dropped into Monterey out of curiosi
ty, and remained, entranced by the
climate and bewitched by a pair of
beautiful Spanish eyes. Influential
letters opened the best doors of the
capital to him and his own fine per
sonality soon won him popularity.
Lolita, the spoiled and only child of
half a county and the toast of the
town, fell in love with the young Puri
tan, a love he returned as ardently as
any swain of her own people. Those
who know the Monterey of that day
say that the blood of a prairie princess
mingled with the blue Andalusian of
the Guerreros in Lolita's veins.
Whether true or not, she had the im
periousness of a dozen royal maidens
and overriding all objections, she set
a wedding day less than two months
after the pair first met.
"Meantime the groom's brother, a
lively young officer of a Boston
merchantman, hove into port a week
before th,e nuptials, with a budget
of news and an appetite for diversion.
With characteristic reserve the elder
brother did not at once confide his
secret, and thereof came the mischief.
The young man was caught in the
twinkling of two eyes—Lolita's eyes—•
and by way of trading on the capital
his brother had made, tol5 her, in the
poor Spanish he could command and
in the scant English she could compre
hend, the story of his life, home and
friends, a story that included a certain
delicate maiden, his brother's be
trothed, who embroidered intermin
ably upon her trousseau and wept be
cause her lo\«er came not.
"The fiery beauty carried the situa
tion with a high hand. More than one
gallant Spanish dandy assisted Senor
Guerrero in escorting William An
thony out of town. And from that
hour the younger man was swept for
ward by an amorous exchantment so
adroitly exercised, so imperious, that
had his heart not acquiesced he could
hardly have escaped standing at the
altar in his brother's place and taking
to wife the woman who was to have

brilliance Esther did
not at first discover as coming from
many tiny diamonds, each hardly
larger than a pinpoint, set very close
ly together.
"How exquisite!" exclaimed Mrs.
Brockett, who was friend as well as
housekeeper. "I never saw anything
like it. For your hair, isn't it?" She
took it from Esther and shot it through
her big brown coil, the feathered end
standing high, the pointed shaft shin
ing just back of her ear. "It's the most
beautiful ornament you ha.e. Wca,'t
you keep it?"
"I see no way to return it," Esther
said, searching wrappers and box for
a clew to the sender. "There isn't
a word, a letter—-not even the merch
ant's name on the box. How did it
come?"
"The Chinaman said a small boy
brought it this morning before seven
o'clock," Mrs. Brockett replied, as she'
The trinkets did not interest Fsther.
She took up her paper instead. At
the first gltnce she cried out
"Gideon Ingram Anthony—His "Ro
mance!'' were the first words she saw.
She stared uncomprehendlngly for a
moment, then read on feverishly. It
was a strange tale, pieced together
from many sources, and confirmed by
appended interviews with several "old
est settlers:" ..
"The story of Gidebn Ingram, of the
well-known freighters, I^psjn, Rnn

been his sister-in-law. The spell she
wove was deep and lasting. He loved
her, endured her hasty temper, for
gave the love she still bore his brother
(though she called it hate), and died
(later the blrth of thelr chnd 00/t hCT
life. The last written word of the
young husband was a plea to his broth
er for forgiveness and a request that
Lolita's child, Gideon Ingram Anthony,
might find a second father in his uncle.
"But William Anthony, melancholy,
resentful, was wandering over the un
peopled wastes of Alta California,
vainly seeking relief from a sore
heart. And Gideon's grandfather, not
trying very hard, it is suspected, failed
to trace the baby's uncle. Letters from
New England found him, however
told him that the faithful woman of his
early love was slowly fading away.
Conscience-stricken, he hastened back,
married her, tried devotedly and with
apparent success to nurse her to
health, but burled her one year after
their only child was born."
"Oh, my poor, poor mother!" Esther
moaned. "No wonder you are so sad!"
She drew the locket from beneath her
dress and gazed a moment on the pic
tured face. Alfred's ring still hung on
the chain, and she pressed it to her
lips before hiding it again. "Like
mother, like child!" she whispered
scornfully. "Both foolish!" With a
sigh she took up the paper and read
on
"Then came from Sutter's Fort the cry
of 'Gold! gold!'that peopled California
and swept away forever the dreamy,
pastoral days of hidalgo, fandango and
league-long ranchos under- Mexican
rule. William Anthony came west
with the first rush, found and claimed
his nephew, mined, traded and grew
enormously wealthy though he lived
always in the wilds, visiting cities only
as compelled.
"On the bleak side of a Washoe,
mountain he built a palace, the won
der of the decade sent for his daugh
ter, and reared the two children in
an isolated luxury that was the source
of many Aladdin-like tales. But failure
came, removal, wandering and the
Anthonys were lost to the world that
bad known them. Later fathy
was killed by Indians and the chil
dren, by this time man and woman
grown, fdrifted, unknown and tmknow*
ing, into the heedless stream of hu
manity.
"The sequel proves that William
Anthony never forgave his brother
for the boy grew up as a dependent,
called only Gideon Ingram, and never
knowing his right to his uncle's name.
Senor Guerrero died some years ago,
willing his estate to his grandson and
providing for a search for him. Yet
it is probable he would have remained
undiscovered had not the agents pur
chasing right of way for the Southern
Pacific Railroad company needed his
signature. His identity was discov
ered some time ago, but his story is
now for the first time made public."
Here followed the interviews.
"My cousin! Oh, he's my cousin!"
Like an open book Esther read many
things that had puzzled her—her fa
ther's contradictions, his gloom, his
reserves Gideon, tender, cruel, con
stant, vengeful a passion, a flame
conquering, yet ever defeated. Poor
Gideon!
Esther dreamed over the strange
tale till she was reminded of her
team, waiting as she had ordered, and
restless. "I'll drive at once," she said,
and hastily prepared, eager for the
out-of-doors, for motion.
She was taking up the reins when a
card was brought her—Gideon's. She
started back and wonld not touch it,
till penciled words caught her eye.
"Stella, I have wrcnged you but if
you have read the morning paper you
know how your father wronged me.
Blood makes us cousins. I must see
you a moment, must a little atone."
