CHAPTER ".

For once Susy had not exaggerated.
Capt. Pinckney was lingering with the
deputy who had charge of him on the
trail near the casa. 1t had already
been pretty well understood by both
captives and captors that the arrest
was simply legal demonstration, that
the sympathizing federal judge would
undoubtedly order the discharge of the
prisoners on their own recognizances
and it was probable that the deputy saw
no harm in granting Pincllney's re-
quest, which was virtually only delay
in his own liberation. 1t is also posi-
bic that Pinckney had worked upon the
chivalrous sympathies of the man by
protesting his dissemination to leave
their devoted colleague, Mrs. Brant, at
the mercy of her antagonistic and cold
blooded husband at such crisis, and 1t
is to be feared, also, that Clarence, as a
reputed lukewarm partisan, excited no
personal sympathy even from his own
party. Howbeit, the deputy agreed to
delay Pinckney's journey for parting
interview with his fair hostess.
How far this expressed the real SEN

we are troubled that somebody else should
be very happy, and we look at the happy
people and suddenly grow mean and nasty

easily turned into disagreeable beasts,
rather than lovable men and women. And

you are full of joy and gladness because
something good has come to you, think
what would happen if you had nobody to

ing who was glad because you were glad.
Why, it would be worth while to hire a
messenger boy by the hour simply for sym
pathetic purposes. Then think what ii

ton with Mrs, Brant had developed into
a warmer solicitude, understood or ig-

pleading; an intense curiosity drew him
further along the passage. Suddenly
her voice seemed to change to angry

upon his ears. 1t was followed by his
own name uttered sardonically by Clar-
cnce. the swift rustic of a skirt, the
clash of the gate. and then, forgetting
everything, he burst into the patio.
Clarence was just turning from the
gate With the marks of his wife's hand

Capt Pinckney's eyes upon it, and
faint, half-malicious. half-hysteric
smile upon his lips. But without
start or gesture of surprise, he locked
the gate, and turning to him. said, with
frigid significance:

She had slowly descended the steps to
the patio, looking handsomer than he
had ever seen her, and as if sustained
and upheld by the enthusiasm of her
cause. Her hand was outstretched
toward his, his heart beating violently;
in another moment he might have for

pointed to the. chair on which Susy's
