CHAPTER XVI.

The snow was falling through the black
night. Chelsea square was SILENT and
the wind among the line of trees stand
ing sentinel wise came like tremendous
sigh ascending to moan. The year
would die and the new year be born III
whirling whiteness, winding sheet and
baptismal robe in one.
The lights in the lamps fared lone
somely or bent to the rush of the wind.
Their uncertain flicker fell upon Tom
and sent strange. leaping shadows across
his face. He walked as one without pur-
pose and kept close to the palings.
Following his confession had come
Delatole's attacks i'll the press, each word
an adder bite. He had expected them,
but they drove him mad, and for week
he had been hidden in the neither circles
of the city. Such week!-a confagra-
ton in which he had tried to burn every
vestige of honorable manhood left him.
But he had not succeeded. No, for he
was here in this last hour of the year,
making his indeterminate way for last
look at the peaceful old square he had
once thought 80 stupid, last look at
the walls that had frowned on his fro
ward hopes, perhaps last word with
Virginia. And then? The rivera sleep
in the snow-an end somehow.
AT the tree where the knowledge of
his love and power first came to him he
paused. His arms were loosely folded
on his breast. His eyes were shadowy
and grieved as those of beaten animal
thoroughly cowed.
Suddenly the shade at Virginia's win
dow was raised, and she stood with her
body pressed against the glass, her hands
arched over her eyes as she peered into
the night. Oh, was she watching for
him: Oh, had she one thought for him?
With II yearning sob Tom made a
movement forward and then retreated.
He could see the whole room. A man
had entersd He remembered him as
Virginia's companion at the theater He
carried bunch of flowers as white as
the snow clinging to his broad shoulders,
and as Virginia went toward him he
took her hand and gave them to her.
What words was he speaking now:
Tom could see his strong, Quivering face,
his moving lips, his submissive yet i'm.
FASHIONED attitude.
He loved Virginia. Yes, and the en-.
chanted whisper of his love seemed to
steal out to the watcher through the
drifting snow.
A moment they stood closely together,
chen Virginia WAS in his arms, clinging
to him, and he had kissed her.
A sharp breath of longing broke from
Tom. To shut out the picture he turned
his face 10 the wet bark of the tree,
shuddering and sobbing like woman
Virginia another's. He not the slight
est influence in her life ever again-fall-
en- into darkness, utterly forgotten.
Family the first chimes floated from
the belfry, and he looked up.
Virginia had left her lover, who stood
just behind her. She was. again at the
window, still under curved hands look
ing into the darkness, and now he could
plainly see the pity, the tender, search
ing look in the wide, clear eyes.
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1893-10-04

he let his folded arms rest ttpOn the table
and ldid his head upon them.
lips. In some occult way the truth was
revealed to him. He knew that all tile
faces he had looked upon were those of
the dead. He too was dead, and Vir-
ginia. Life and earth were gone forever.
Repentance was vain, redemption i'm
possible, parting, shame and despair
eternal.
In the sudden blackness that swept
down like the shadow cast by mon
strous wing Virginia's body slipped from
his longing arms, and he was alone.
The cry that broke from his humili-
ated soul sent the vision whirling, and
he awolle, conscious of bursting heart
md quivering body bathed i'll cold
dews. He made an effort to rise, and as
he did so felt hand upon his shoulder,
heard voice speaking his name.
What else!" he cried, fiinging back
his head, his eyes flashing maddened
defiance and clouded with blood. What
else? Oh, God!"
Mr.. Plunket's commonplace. face was
close to him.
Murray, you must be i'll. You've been
dreaming-crying out as if some one
were hurting you. Wake up. Don't
stare so, man. Wake up"
Staring, trembling, his tongue thick,
Tom sprang up. The sense of utter loss,
the tragedy of Virginia's last kiss, were
still with him. He looked around, star
tied, dumb. Yonder in the crimson circle
cast by the lamp stood Delatole smiling.
Just beyond him were the gaunt form
and lonely eyes of Felix Dawson. Both
were waiting.
"My dear Murray, l am here under
protest" said Plunllet, wringing his fat
hands in loose, soft, helpless way as he
stood with his head OH one side. This
mans story is absurd-now be quiet
don't get angry, but-but-he says your
last play was one he sent you and which
you - ri- err appropriated He
hasn't a shadow of proof. How could
he? Why, it's preposterous! AS if
wouldn't know your style anywhere! l
poohpoohed him, but Mr.. Delatole per
suaded me to let him face you with his
story. That is all, my dear Murray;
that is all"
Tom regarded him vacantly while he
spoke. He started blindly forward and
phuseu MIDWAY III tne roOm5 leaning
upon chair.
He was not dreaming still? No; these
were men, not shades. This was his fa-
miliar Virginia was not far away.
All was not over. The living moment
was still his. Considerations so i'm
portant but little while ago were lost
sight of; his tortured sensibilities over
leaped them all in maddening thirst to
redeem himself in his own eyes while he
could, to purge the soilure from his soul,
SO that never-oh, never-might he
really know that sense of awful, final
condemnation revealed to him in a
dream.
Speak up, Murray. Throw the lie
in his teeth" cried Plunket.
a pallor suddenly struck Toms face
from brow to chin; pale smile came

Christmas Tree Notice.

The Christmas Tree Committee wishes
to notify the public that there will be a
Christmas tree at Music Hall Saturday
Dec. %. An interesting programme has
been arranged and will be published
next week. AS it was SO late when the
committee took the matter in hand
there was no time to take up the
usual collection. In consequence
there will be no candy, nuts or books
except those put on by parents or
friends. And the committee has decid-
ed to charge adults an admission of
twenty-five cents for the entertainment
to defray expense of trees, hall and deco
rations. All children are invited Gree
of charge.) All are cordially invited to
bring their presents as usual to the hall
on Saturday afternoon where there will
be a committee to wait on them. Mark
all packages plainly to avoid mistakes.

Ben F. Jenkins


A large number of railroad men at
tended the funeral of the late Benjamin
+. Jenkins, which was held at the Chris
tian church Wednesday afternoon. The
deceased had been n member of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and that order had charge Of HE services
while members OF other railroad orders
were present in large numbers. In a
few brief remarks Rev. s. B. Moore re-
ferred touchingly to the fact that only a
few short months ago Mr.. Jenkins stood
with his happy bride in the same spot
where rested the casket containing the
remains. 1t was OIL that occasion that
the two plighted their troth which made
them II until death should separate
them. The hymns were sung by the
choir OF the church and at the conclusion
OF the services the remains were borne
tenderly to the East Cemetery where
they were laid in the silent tomb. Mem
bels of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers served AS pail bearers-Jack-
sonviile, Ills, Courier.
Ben Jenkins, in railroad p~arlance,
was made" on the Truckee Division,
and was well known by the old timers
of Wadsworlh.
