VI,
A RELUCTANT SAMARITAN.


. Robert Protheroe was not the man to
let a good resolution warp in the cool
ing. He was self-made, in the sense
that he owed his parents little beyond
the fact of existence; and the world,
after its wont with waits, human or
otherwise, had tempered him in salt
ish bath of adversely and sharpened
him upon The grindstonc of experience.
Having made shift to climb some in
considerable distance up the slippery
hill of knowledge by his own unaided
exertions, he fell easily into the habit
of thinking himself more capable than
other men. The demonstration was
simple and conclusive. He had proved
his ability to wiring measure of sue
cess out OF adverse circumstances where
others, with all the advantages of pre-
paratory training, had failed. He was
too kind-hearted to be cynical, but he
could not help making comparisons;
and they were usually unfavorable to
those who inspired them.
In the short conversation on the no.
tel veranda, Protheroe had taken
Thorndyke's measure with n consider
able degree of accuracy, and but for
the enlistment of his symnathies he
might have been inclined to look upon
the New Yorker as a person who would
probably serve, upon better acquaint-
ance, to point the moral of another
comparison. AS it was, however, crit
icism was swallowed up in charity,
and Is minutes after leaving Thorn
dykes room Protheroe was galloping
out one of the prospective streets,
which, turning abruptly around the
shoulder of Johns mountain, became
a country road leading up the valley
of the Little Chiwassee. His destina-
ton was small farm-the home of
the Duncans-lying six miles up the
valley; and his object was to prevail
upon his friends to open their doors
to the sick man.
There was small romance at the bot
tom of the Scotchman's settlement in
Alabama. Duncan had been a school
master in Lanarkshir and Martha Kin
ross was first his pupil and later his
sweetheart. Martha was the laird's
daughter, and the laird, having just
regard for worldly gear, objected to
the penniless pedagogue. For once in
a way Duncan put his hereditary eau
ton under foot, gave up the school,
married the girl, and together they ran
away from the laird's wrath and from
the old world. Once over seas, the win
tiers of Quebec became sufficient pre-
text for farther wanderingS, and these
being aimless, ended as well in Alabama
as elsewhere. They had bought the

Oon'tyou suppose I could find a place
where the bill of fare wouldn't be quite
SO limited?"
You'll find very few of them in
This mountain region; roughly speak
ing, there are only two classes of white
people-a small minority of well-to-do
planters and farmers, and large ma
jority of poor folk"
THAT'S rather discouraging; and yet
IL seems as if ought to be able to find
what I need. don't expect much in
the way of accommodations; I'd be
satisfied with good plain country board,
such as we get among farmers in the
north"
Il know of but one place near here
that answers your description. It's
in a Scotch family up on the Little Chi
wassee; but | hardly think you could
get in there"
DO you think not? I'd try not to be
troublesome; and if it would be ques-
ton of money"
mo, it wouldn't be question of
money" Protheroe stopped abruptly
and twisted his mustache. II wish you
hadn't said that" he added, frowning;
there are some few things in this world
that can't be bought with money: a
foothold in Jamie Duncan's home is
one Of them"
Il beg your pardon" Philip protested,
flushing painfully at the thought that
protheroe had misconstrued his mean
ing. 81 only meant that am able and
willing to pay for what get; /"
Something gripped his throat, and an
uncomfortable fit of coughing strangled
him and broke the sentence in two.
When he put handkerchief to his lips
, it came away spotted with blood, and
Protheroc saw it,
"For heavens sake! had no idea
you were that far along! Let me help
you"
He led Thorpdyle to the elevator and
through the long corridor on the upper
floor, making him lie down as soon as
they reached the room.
is there anything else | can do for
you?-shall l call doctor?" he asked.
" Thorndyke shook his head. It's
rather worse than gave You to under
stand; my physician in New York al
lowed me six months, and I've eaten
into one ofthem pretty deeply already"
"SiX months! Did the man send you
down here to die?"
1T amounts to that; but l knew. 1t
was the only chance for me-
Prothero made two or three turns up
and down the room, and then stopped
with his hand on the doorknob. "I'll
be back after awhile to see how you are;
in the mean time you lie still and just
make up your mind you've got to win;
it's more than half the battle. You're
sure there's nothing can do for your"
Nothing, thank you, but you mustn't
let me impose on your good nature. 1
can ring up the office If need any
thing"
' Protheroe went down the hall talk
ing to himself. Poor fellow! I'm
afraid it's all day with him. / ought
to be ashamed of myself for pretending
10 misunderstood what he said about
paying his way; am ashamed, and I'll
prove it by trusting the poor devil
Aapd Elsie"
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1897-02-20

It was the casting vote, and when the
matter was definitely settled Protheroe
had no desire to prolong his visit.
mo, think I'd better get back and
tell ISM" he said, in reply to Mrs. Dun
cans hospitable entreaties. It'll
brighten him up after the scare he's
had this morning"
Duncan went with him to the gate.
Robbie, lad, yell no be sayin' ony-
thing over yon"-with a jerk of His
thumb toward Acknowledgment the
fren' o. mine that louped the fence"
Certainly not. And about Thorn
dyke; you know nothing of him ex-
cepting what I've told you, but I'll be
responsible for the expense, if need be-"
''Hoot, mon! I'm no that canny!"
protested Duncan, but Protheroe smiled
when his back was turned, thinking
how the Scots face had frightened at
the satisfactory mention of security.
On the ride back to Allacoochee the
young engineer had a bad half hour.
Such comfort as could be get out o1 the
consciousness of a good deed well done
was quite overshadowed by a very nat
ural fear that he had thoroughly and
consistently done the thing which OF
all others would be most likely to
jeopardize his chances with Elsie Dun
can. He did not regret it, but he was
angry with himself because he found
it impossible to take an enlightened
view of the matter.
I'm an asst" he soliloquized at one
stage in the short journey; IAN unmiti-
gated donkey of the pack trains, at that!
/ don't deserve to have ghost of a
show after this" he had already gone
the length of assuming that Elsie and
Thorndyke would Immediately fall in
love with each other. And to think
that l was idotic enough to plan the
whole thing myself"
Thus at the end of the first three miles.
Ry the time the Queen Anne gables of
the Hotel Johannisberg came in sight
around the shoulder of Johns noun
tain, he had argued himself into more
philosophical frame of mind.
"After all, perhaps it's a godsend,
Elsie has seen nothing Of the world, and
how else could be sure that was ever
anything more to her than the first man
she ever met? It's better to find it out
now than later-much better in every
way"
AT which sensible reasoning the nat
ural man within him arose once more
and Knocked him.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1897-02-20

Wilma overflow for one mair in the
family"
While they were considering ways
and means, Elsie held her peace, but
Protheroe could see too plainly for his
own comfort that she favored the plan.
When he put his conclusion to the test
by asking her what she thought of it,
she answered, dutifully:
Its for father and mother to say, but
I think we ought not to refuse in such
. case"
