CHAPTER XIII


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 souared
between them ut 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 ei gerly to be rid of his busi
ness engagement to his host, to be re-
lleved 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 grown, il 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 rest ess 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 lie clerk of the hotel
and from the tickc, agent, and the in
telllSence they gave was substantially
the same. Mr.. Anthony had left the
city several days before, but by an
earlier train tlan t.-a one appointed; of
his subsequent movements they were
ignorant.
Then Dams restlesa ness 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 a complication of
business matters which might detain him
from home for weeks, or even months,
and Dan was in no mood for waiting.
He was sustained i'll this view by the
arrival of the delayed building materials
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 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 exeTcisc state of mind
Under the influence of his restlessness!
he went into Anthony's chamber, which
he had not entered since Ned's depar-
iure. 1t was in some disorder; coat
lay on chair, a darl; biCe hunting shirt
on the floor at the foot of the bed and a
pair Of dusty boots under the table. Dan
glanced around cuIiously, little OPP
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. Tho space was empty.
This surprised him, for he remembered
that Anthony, having meditated only
short absence, had taken with him a
valise. Could he trunk have been stolen,
or had it beer removed by its owners
orders? The latter appeared unlikely,
as had he required the trunk tie most
natural mode IF 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 We're seldom
secured, even after nightfall. and that
he himself was often away.

CHAPTER XIV

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 6everleys for more than year that
the family had come to occupy large
place in the thoughts and conversation
Of the neighborhood, and in this last
item concerning them the interest cul-
minated. 1t was an unprecedented hap
peninS-nothing less than the filing in
the records of the county courthouse by
Mr.. Meredith, the village LAWYER, of a
deed of gift wherein it was stated that
in consideration of benefits received
and moneys given by Hector Randolph
Beverley, deceased, to Edward jackson
Anthony, said Edward jackson Anthony
conveyed, assigned and decided to
Charles Warwick, of Richmond, and
Howard Wilmer, of - county, in the
state OF Virginia, as trustees and as
Slgnees, the estate" fully describedl
known as Lower Repton, for the Use
and benefit of Hector Beverley and Ran
dolph Beverley, infant grandsons of said
Hector Randolph Beverley The in
Strument was clear and concise, and
the property was to be equally divided
between the boys when little Ran should
attain his majority
The neighborhood could not get over
it and Ned Anthony rose in the estima-
lion of his old county to the very pin
| nacle of popularity. 1t was noble
thing to do, they said-quixotic perhaps,
but generous and fine; delicate too,
since, with her boys, Mary would be in
directly benefited. The neighborhood
had decided long ago that Mary had re-
fused Ned Anthony and in a glamour
cast by this deed of his they were dis
posed to think that she had acted I'M
wisely. The way in which it had been
done appealed to them particularly-the
putting back of the benefits which this
gift was said to acknowledge two gener-
ations, SO that the increase of prosper
ity to the grandsons might seem the
natural outcome of the grandsire's
generosity, instead of the bounty of a
stranger, The affair i'll its entirety was
worthy of a gentleman and Virginian
In that phrase their eulogium culmin-
ated. 1t was the highest encomium
they could conceive.

Hes a noble fellow, after all, re-
marked Mrs, Judge Wilmer, as she took
her knitting from its bag, land Mary
might have done worse than marry him.
Cornelia never would have consented, it
is true, and would have made herself in
tolerable; but she does that often any
how, so nobody need have minded. De
cidedly, Mary might have done worse
than marry him"

her husband, land would reverse the de-
cision of the court and move for new

mo, would not" contradicted his
wife. I'm fond of MIR. Stewart, and
Mary is as happy asNpossible, and the
children are devoted to him, particularly
little Ran, who is difficult child. Still
poor Ned! He has done a noble thing,
that we must all allow" -
II do, my dear" replied the judge.
''It was noble thing, and delicately
done for the man. He is capable of
many. noble actions; but there are gaps
between, and in these very gaps come
the most of daily living. 1t is far bet
ter as it is. 4"
