CHAPTER XXIY.

The weeks and months passed swiftly.
Summer deepened into autumn, autumn
dropped and faded into winter, and a
year had passed since Ned Anthony sat
on the fence in the November twilight
and trimmed the hickory rod. Within
that time many changes had occurred
which had afforded the neighbors much
delectable gossip and great store of keen
enjoyment.
Something was occupying the public
attention now that appeared likely to
afford endless interest and discussion
and to usurp the place occupied in the
popular mind by Mrs. Beverley's ap-
preaching marriage to Dan Stewart, the
New York architect, and Miss Cornelia's
unlocked for pleasure therein.
There had been so much happening to
the .Beyerleys. for more than year that

CHAPTER XIII.

Dan Stewart was puzzled. Three days
had elapsed since the one appointed by
Anthony for his arrival, and there was
still no sign of its taking place. He was
more than puzzled, he was worried and
impatient. He wished matters squared
between them at once, SO that he should
be free to speak to Mrs. Beverley, free to
drink deep of the cup of happiness
standing ready for his lips. And he
wished most eagerly to be rid of his bust
ness engagement to his host, to be re
heved from the irksome position of guest
in house where his welcome was a
thing of the past
He had plans of his own, too, with
which delay interfered-plans for the
future which were growing in impor-
lance. He wanted to be up and doing,
to be working with all his strength to
bring that future nearer. This delay
made him restless and i'll at ease.
On the morning of the fourth day he
telegraphed to Richmond, to Ned him
self, at the hotel where he usually
staid, and to the agent at the ticket
Office. An answer came promptly from
both places, from the clerk of the hotel
and from the ticket agent, and the in
telligence they gave was substantially
the same. Mr.. Anthony had left the
city several days before, but by an
earlier train than the one appointed; OF
his subsequent movements they were
ignorant.
Then Dams restlessness increased. He
was under no apprehensions about his
friend, for he had full confidence in An
thongs ability to take care of himself.
What he feared was complication OF
business matters which might detain him
from home for weeks, or even months,
and Dan was in no mood for waiting.

yard with his heart as light as boys,
his thoughts busy with anticipations.
As he neared the window through which
he had gazed that evening in November,
nine months before the same impulse
seized him to approach and look in on
them, himself unseen; and some boyish
idea of practical joke, such as striking
suddenly on the window ledge or vault
ing in among them, presented itself.
The window was wide open and the
long lace curtains hung straight, I'M
swayed by the motionless air. Anthony
parted them with his hand and looked
in. The room was still, the light clear
and soft, the music whose sound had
reached him as he crossed the ravine
was hushed, and instead of the gay party
he had expected to surprise, there were
only two figures in the room-a man and
a woman.
The woman sat in a low chair and the
man bent over her; her head was thrown
back, her eyes raised to other eyes which
gaZed down into them with look easily
interpreted. No need to tell him who
she was--who both were; he knew only
too surely. The knowledge was burned
into his brain with the fire of that Bit
terer knowledge which came to him like
a revelation.
With an oath so savage that it seemed
as though the very air must shudder to
receive it he dropped the curtain back
into its place and turned away.

He TOOK aim dt the yOung mans hedd
In his brute rage it seemed to him that
he had been foully dealt with-that an
enemy in the guise of a friend had in
vested his camp and laid it waste-that
he was being stabbed with a knife drawn
from his own sheath. This man had
listened to his story, had encouraged him
in his aspirations, had counseled, SYM
pathized and suggested, and then, like
thief in the night, had crept in and
stolen the treasure.
In the burning heat of wrong and out
rage all possibility of justice, all power
of rational discernment were consumed.
His Identification of the woman with the
child had been so complete that his mind
had no longer power to separate them.
He could not think; he could only feel.
All the earth, and the air, and the spaces
of the infinite were pulsing madly with
his wrong. His passion made his heart
beat like the sledge on burning metal,
sent the blood to his brain and oppressed
its power of perception, and filled his
ears with dull roaring as of imprisoned
waters ere the ice breaks to rush and
rend and destroy.
A door opened and closed quickly;
footsteps sounded on the porch, the
steps, the walk in front of the house; a
whistle clear and joyous as that of a
schoolboy cleft the brooding air. Dan
was on his way home now to the house
across the ravine, where the door was on
the latch and the gift on the crowded
table. Somehow Anthony drew back
under the shadow of the trees, out of
sight, and let him pass.
The moon still hung poised above the
cedars, but it was now free from the OBJ
struction of their branches and cast
what light was in its gift to the earth
ungrudgingly. The path was light
enough, but under the trees the shadows
lay dense and black. Dan came down
the walk whistling; his step was light,
as though, in the sense of universal good
new born within him, the touch of earth
were pleasant to his feet. He neared
the shadow where his friend lay am
pushed, passed it and went on in the
pale moonlight. Anthony's hand was in
the breast pocket of his coat and his eyes
cleaned narrow through the dropping
lids.
At the gate Dan paused to light a
cigar, striking the match against the up
per bar; his hands were raised, protecting
the fame instinctively, although the all
was still; his back was toward the
shadow. Anthony's hand stole forth
with the revolver; his right hand stiff.

head; his eye was steady and his finger

track along the barrel of the pistol.

The arm twitched, the finger on the
trigger shook, the eye faltered and the
aim grew unsteady. A thought had
flashed through the maddened brain, a
recollection powerful enough to balk
the deadly purpose, to strike the arm to
his side. Was it ruth or memory OF
friendship or compassion for the woman
whom he loved, and whose love he was
about to Stay? Not one of these things
would have moved him. What did was
the simple fact that Dan was unarmed
and that his back was toward him.
He stood and watched his rival pass
through the gate and down the path
which led across the ravine by the
longer way-the same on which Mary
had left him in indignation some months
before. A baffied, beaten feeling was
growing in his breast, a sense of impo.
tence and failure; jealousy and brute
animosity strained on the leash like
bloodhounds, but rough honor held
them back with strong hand, and the
man stood shaking from head to foot,
cursing under his breath. He could moi
shoot down an unarmed man from be.
hind.
Turning in the opposite direction he
retraced his steps through the old gar
den. He was not going home; he had
no wish to meet his rival-the sense of
impotence was growing. What had
come of it all-the long struggle, the
waiting and working, the ambition and
the final success? What had it availed
him? Money! A place among men! A
monster fortune! OF what use was the
money? He wanted love-this love, no
other; and all the wealth of that fab
ulous mine of his was inadequate for its
purchase.
His mind went back to that lonely
canyon, the redwood hut by the snow
fed tarn, the leper driven forth to die,
and die alone. Of what use had this
gold been to the leper? Could it buy
him pity, sympathy, tendance, even toll
erance among his fellows? Had it been
powerful to avert misery, loathsome-
ness, death? He remembered how he
himself had sickened at the sight of the
SCARED visage and had shrunk from the
touch of the leprous hands; how the cup
of water had been given with averted
face, and the vessel afterward broken
to prevent all possibility of its ever
touching cleaner lips; how he had
fought with disgust in the performance
of those last offices for the dying and
the dead; how hastily he had fashioned
the rude resting place, how shudder-
ingly he had placed in it the poor,
defaced thing that had once been hui
man, how he had shoveled in the earth
with a sense of relief that from this fair
world had been removed foul blot.
He felt strangely drawn to that lonely
grave, strangely akin to its miserable
occupant. Was not his case like the
leper's? Was not he driven forth from
the love and sympathy he craved, to
dwell for evermore amid the rocks and
the awful solitude? The leper's fate
was his-and the leper's gold.
Oh, the mockery of it!-the bitter,
bitter mockery? 1t was his, that store,
his to hold and enjoy, his to spend or
save or give, and he stood a lonely man
beside tiny grave under the shadow of
a dark old cedar, breaking his heart over
a broken dream!

her knitting from its bag, "and Mary

Mrs. Wilmer knitted on in silence.

uHtOuHt ttJftto upONs
With this new train of thought upper
most, he walked over to the table and
began moving the things about, search
ing for some evidence of nature likely
to prove useful in case his conjecture in
regard to the missing trunk should prove
correct. As he moved the things with
which the table was Uttered, his hand
came in contact with a handsomely
bound book ON architecture. He pushed
it aside without thought, and in doing
so displaced a blotting pad under which
lay a couple of letters. They were ad-
dressed in Ned Anthony's bold, thick
hand, and one bore the name of the law
yer already mentioned and the other his
own.
With feeling that there was some
thing here that he did not understand,
Dan broke the seal of his at once. 1t
was written ON half sheet of business
paper and had no form of address at the
commencement. A half dozen lines
conveying brusquely the information
that Anthony had determined on suspend.
ing the building of his house and that
he had placed his Virginian affairs in
the hands of his lawyer-that was all
In it was inclosed a check for the full
amount agreed upon between the two
men as the sum to be handed over at the
completion of the building.
Not word of his future plans, not a
word of his present movements, not a
sign of regret for the friendship he was
so rudely breaking, or of sorrow for the
rupture of old associations. Only those
few rough lines and the long pink slip of
paper that represented SO many dollars.
Dan stood bewildered, feeling as
though he had received blow in the
face, as though his honorable intentions,
his consideration and his friendship had
been flung back upon him with curse.
His mind, quickened by sense of out
rage, worked back feverishly and gath
cred tolerably correct estimate of the
case. He saw the stunned enlighten.
ment, the jealous fury and the deadly
luminosity, and with swift impulse he
tore the check in fragments and cast
them beneath his feet.
But he did not see the sinking arm,
the trembling hand, the faltering eye,
nor the quivering frame lying prone on
the ground with its fierce eyes hidden
and its burning heart pressed against
the unresponsive sod of little grave.

ne was 'stTsJ&lneu III TINS view Nv Inc
arrival of the delayed building materiaI
and of couple of skilled mechanics
whose services he had requested Anthony
to secure.
He had no doubt that Anthony would
communicate with him in a few DAYS,
but he chafed under the necessity of in.
action, the impossibility of opening com.
munication himself. He felt that he
was not acting fairly by Mrs. Beverley,
in that he had promised to speak and
had not spoken. Altogether, Dan was
in much exercised state of mind.
Under the influence of his restlessness
he went into Anthony's chamber, which
he had not entered since Ned's depar-
turs 1t was in some disorder; q coat
lay on chair, dark blue hunting shirt
on the floor at the foot of the bed and a
pair of dusty boots under the table. Dan
glanced around curiously, little op.
pressed by that feeling of intrusion we
all have when entering unauthorized an
other mans premises while they still
retain the stamp of his individuality.
HIS eye fell upon the space beside the
bed where the brass clamped trunk
formerly stood. The space was empty.
This surprised him, for he remembered
that Anthony, having meditated only a
short absence, had taken with him a
valise. Could the trunk have been stolen,
or had it been removed by its owners
orders? The latter appeared unlikely,
as had he required the trunk the most
natural mode of procedure on Anthony's
part would have been to write to him
Dan-to forward it. Then, too, he knew
that the doors of the house were seldom
secured, even after nightfall, and that
he himself was often away.
