CHAPTER XIII.

A groom was sent to Twineburgh for
a doctor. This was contrary TO, Mr..
Morley's wish. He insisted that doc
tor was not necessary, and it was only
to appease the anxiety of his daughter
that he finally consented to see med
ical man.
But all the daughters entreaties
could not move him to go to bed. He
lay down on the couch in the library,
and Florence sat beside him, holding
one of his hands. I left them thus to-
gether and went outside.i
Before l left the mans voice had re-
sumed much of it's usual vigor. For
one who had seemed to be as near col
LAPSE as he, strength returned very rap
idly.
Notwithstanding my pity for Flor
ence, there was great pride and JOY in
my heart. The sweetest girl in the
world was mine All troubles, mys-
teries, the heart-sickness of the past
year, seemed petty and trivial beside
this thought. Mr.. Morley had given
his consent to our marriage; indeed,
it was an absolute command.
The scene under the trees came back
to me, and Icould not repress a shudder
as thought of the fathers horrible
premonitions and the overwhelming ef-
feet produced by them.
/ walked about the grounds or re-
clined on one of the many seats scat
tered around, determined to await the
doctors arrival My mind would con-
stantly revert to the secret trouble
which was so evident and powerful a
factor in Mr.. Morley's life; and what it
was that could so affect gentleman OF
his standing and wealth furnished me
matter for speculation. The great
motive and influence in the fathers life,
l knew, was his love for his only child.
Therefore it seemed that the hidden
trouble must arise from some sorrow or
danger which threatened Florence.
The thought caused me considerable
uneasiness. EH
l had not realized how morbidly
sensitive the robbery had made me, un-
til now All the unfathomed events and
incidents which had occurred during
the two days / had been here seemed in
some indefnable way connected with
the affair, or the result of it.
The doctor arrived much sooner than
1 had expected Indeed, the idea of
giving medical advice to great man
like Mr.. Morley was incentives strong
enough to cause a country physician to
kill his horse in the endeayor to reach
the patient as quickly as possible.

CHAPTER XII.

Mr.. Morley came down the path from
the house. AT first he did not see us,
and Florence called, which caused him
to turn and approach. AS he drew near
his glance rested on me. Then he
scanned his daughters face ceianxiously.
His face grew white, and drawn ex-
preston came over it; he tottered in
his walk, and seemed to keep upright
by an effort of will.
"Child, why have you tears in your
eyes?' he asked, in low, husky tones.
Then, without pausing for answer, he
went on: Retire into the house,
daughter. I wish to speak to Mr.. Con-
way. Change your habit if you wish.
do not think will be able to ride with
you this morning" ,..s.... s..-,
"Oh, father, you are ill., Florence
exclaimed, in deep concern. What is
it? Do come with ME into the house
and let me do something for you" In
a loving way which was all her own
she drew his arm through hers.
The parent glanced down at the
beautiful upturned face with solcitous
love shining upon it, and his face lost
some of it's haggardness. He smiled
and replied: 81 am not i'll, Florence;
only trifle worried. Do as requested,
please"
In obedience she slowly withdrew,
sending back to me an appealing
glance.
When she had gone turned my gaze
upon the father. There was no wonder
that Florence had expressed concern
for her parent. Even the Inomentary
glimpse | had caught of him on the
morning after my arrival showed me

spection was possible, the difference

and the man now standing before me

looked like a sick man.

in commiscration for his weakness.
Mr.. Morley sank down upon rustic
seat and l remained standing before

Then, suddenly fixing his eyes on my
lace in searching glance, he said:

the reason? What did you say to her
| to cause her tears?"
'sIt was her own tender heart that
,aused her to weep" l replied, after a
pause, during which considered what

seem right to add any fresh trouble to

ished. This was partly the cause for

"And that fellow Skinner-is he the

"Yes. I suppose it was foolish

Y exclaimed, as | caught her hands in
mine and gazed down into the sweet
face I could say no more then, choked
as | was rby my emotion. The noble,
true-hearted girl! Impelled by her love

integrity, undertaking alone to estab-
iish my innocence, while all the world
remained Indifferent! saw the noble
aess, the willingness to make sacrifice
for her love, back of it ALL and tears
came into my eyes and great thank
fulness into my heart. What for
tunate fellow was, after all, to be per-
mitted to inspire such devotion!
But if Skinner is in your employ and
therefore working in my interest, why
should he endeavor to shoot me?' /
finally remarked.
"Oh, Nelson, don't know. l cannot
understand it, she replied, as deeply
perplexed as l was. ....' r. -.
'How does it happen that he is sta
ton agent at Sidington? Why does he
remain here at alp"
Father procured the position for
him at my request. The detective said
it was the best place to watch the rob-
bers from, for absolute secrecy was
necessary, and no one would suspect
the station agent at retired place like
Sidington of being a detective. OF
course l did not tell father that the
man for whom l desired the position

changed to alarm at the effect of the
last remark.
Mr.. Morley's face became ghastly;
his under jaw dropped and his hands
worked convulsively. His lips moved,
! too. but no sound came from them.
Thoroughly frightened. | stood and
watched him, then started with tl.e i'll
tention of summoning aid. But hc de-
tanned me by a gesture. Finally, after
painful struggle, speech caIue to him.
How did you know that" he gaspcd,
| in tones so low th,.t | was compelled
! to bend down over him to cutc.! the
words How could you know-the
thought the feeling-the conviction of
sudden death--has been constantly
with ME of late?-O Oh, God! 1t is com
| ing, I know it-coming soon, that sud

NO, no, Mr.. Morley" 1 answered,
| briskly. "Cheer up, sir. l was only
supposing a case. You will not die,
, sir. You are a sick man, and that is
the cause of your gloomy premonitions,
depend upon it. Allow me to help you
into the house. Go to bed, and We'll
, have a doctor at you as quickly as pos
sible. You'll be all right again soon"
! The fact is, l really thought the man
was dying, and, in the fear of that,
my words were rather eXtravagant.
| He did not seem to notice them, how
| ever, but sat there with his head
dropped on his bosom. l shook him
| gently by the arm, and he raised his
eyes. Yielding to my uplifting mo-
ton, he staggered to his feet.
Slowly we moved toward the house,
the broken man leaning his whole
| weight on me. Not word was uttered
| by either of us until we reached the
steps leading up to the piazza. There
he drew back. and l hastily placed my
| arm behind HIM, from the fear that he
was about to sink down. He did not,
| however, and, as l soon found, he had
paused simply to speak before entering
the house. He gazed into my face long
and earnestly, and such an appealing
look was in his eyes that was stirred
to deepest compassion.
"Swear to God that she shall always
respect my memory; that she may
never hear anything to cause her to
change in her love for me-" he said,
brokenly, and in the manner of one
in a dream. Promise this he de-
manded, fiercely.
"Do you refer to Florence?" l asked,
| thinking that his mind was wandering.
"1es, yes"
"Why, you know how deep and true
| is her affection for you, Mr.. Morley"
"And always shall be-" he exclaimed.
There can be no doubt of it, l am
sure Nothing could change her.
Come, let me help you in"
Not yet Swear that she shall never
hear anything to make her change" he
again demanded, whatever happens.
Swear it! Give me your oath before
God!"
Thinking 10 numor him in his weak
ness, and yet strongly impressed by his
terrible earnestness, l raised: my hand
and made the desired oath.
Mr.. Morley drew a long breath and
then again spoke, in firmer tones.
81 believe you will keep this promise,
if you did not the other" he said.
81 will keep it, if it is at all possible" )"
l answered, earnestly.

citizens Attention.

These are days of considerable
anxiety and perplexity to all who
have possessions or other interests
IN the Republic of Hawaii, and it
is time that our citizens came to a
mutual understanding on several
important issues. The prospects
for Annexation appear at present
vague and indistinct, and our
destiny cannot be foretold with
certainty. There are those, also,
who still fondly cling to the hope
of a return to the old order OF
things, and who cannot be per-
suaded otherwise, yet this out
look appears far more hazy than
that Of Annexation even to the
most hopeful disciples of the
Monarchy. But, fortunately, in
the midst of all this uncertainty
there is solace in the fact that
Buffalo Beer has came to stay and
that patrons of all sorts and
