A DIVERSITY OF OPINIONS.

Kind-hearted Mrs. Ludlow, overflow
ing with the sympathy which is the
need of troubled lovers at the hands of
affectionate and disinterested woman
kind the world over, waited impatiently
for her guest to make his appearance
on the morning following his excursion
with the colonel. Breakfast was ready
and waiting. and the small hostess how
cred about the table, deftly arranging
the china and adding last touch of
artistic negligence TO the bowl of roses
forming the center-piece, pausing now
and then to glance out of the window
at the figure of her husband poised con-
tentedly on two legs of his chair and
reading the inevitable newspaper.
Presently she went to the door. Tom,
wish you'd call Mr.. Ringbrand; Aunt
Mima's been up twice, and the break
fast's getting cold"
Ludlow burst his way out of the laby-
rinth of news and tramped heavily up
stairs to the door of the guests room.
"Hugh!" he called. "Oh, Hugh! going
10 lie abed all day?"
There was no answer, and he opened
the door. The bed had not been occu-
pied, and it flashed upon him that Ring
brand had suddenly acted upon the hint
that he might find it impossible to en=
dure the ordeal of o formal leaye-tak-
ing. Ludlow went downstairs, trying
to think of some way of telling his wife
without rejecting too severely upon his
friaud,S lack Of cOlIraOa
"You said Ringbrand went up with
the colonel yesterday, didn't you?" he
asked, hoping to gain time.
''Why, yes; they drove off together
about three O'clock"
"Well, he didn't come back. Perhaps
the Latimers kept him."
Mrs. ludlow looked puzzled. 81 hard
ly thought he would stay. Irather ex-
pected him back to tea last evening.
1t isn't like him to stay away without
saying something or sending word"
She seated herself behind the coffee
urn and touched the bell for Aunt
Nina.
''Oh, don't know about that" re-
piled her husband carelessly, taking his
place opposite. "a mans liable to do

with it? How am responsible for it?
Who made me the godfather to this
chuckled-headedi infant?"
"Please don't be tragic, Tom," she
said, sweetly. "It doesn't become you.
You know you aided and abetted him in
this foolish notion, and then to think
that you'd sit down calmly in the be-
lief that he'd run away without saying
word! It's too perfectly absurd for
anything! What you should do is to
telegraph everybody you can think of
right away, and if you don't hear any
thing by tomorrow morning you ought
TO take the men and search every foot of
the mountain till you find him."
For reply he handed her the two mes
sages from McNairville and Dunbar.
adding that he had questioned the con-
ductor on his way home.
"Then you haven't been quite as
hard-hearted as l thought you were.
Can't you think of anyone else to tele-
graph?"
mo"
Have you suspected the Bynums of
having anything to do with it?"
"I'd suspect them quickly enough If
there were the slightest grounds for
motive; but there isn't shadow of rea-
son for thinking that they'd make war
on Hugh"
perhaps not; only 1 thought they
might have identified him in some way
with the Latimers."
Ludlow secuted the idea; and during
the afternoon he instructed the mine
bosses to have their men gather at
"The Laurels" early the following
morning, prepared to make thorough
search for the missing man.
After supper the colonel's man came
down with a note from Hester. Moth
ing had been heard of Ringbrand,
either at the Cravens' house or in Dun
bar, and the writer asked if the search
party had been arranged for the next
day, adding that the colonel and
Henry wished to join it. Ludlow sent
back word that he would be at "The
Laurels" at an early hour in the morn

had slept quite peacefully through the
unobtrusive wooing of her lover; and
her quick intuition, finding a better
trajectory than the logic of the others,
went nearer the mark, filling her with
vague apprehensions for Ringbrand's
safety. She Immediately recalled the
conversation of the previous evening.
remembering his abstraction and the
abrupt leave-taking. Then she recol-
leeted that Henry had been the last one
who had seen him, and she quickly OBJ
tained all the information that could be
CLEANED from that source. 1t contained
a grain of comfort in the assurance that
he was not unarmed; but she could not
help thinking that the mere possession
of the revolver promised little for his
safety.
The following morning she mounted
Pluto and rode straight to Mrs. Lud-
lows. in the hope OF finding that her un-

what you wish me to do, and I'll go do
it, if l have to let the furnace freeze
while the men turn out to hunt for
him."
''That is what ought to be done-to-
morrow, anyway. Hester's gone to ask
her father to ride along the mountain
to see if anyone has heard of him, and
Henry will go to Dunbar. If they can't
find out anything, think you ought to
get up search party. Now, Tom,
there's one thing more. Tell me why
you thought Hugh wouldn't have any
thing to do with the feud if he knew
about it?"
Ludlow saw he was upon the brink,
and braced himself for the plunge, but
he evasively asked: 'When did say
anything like that?"
''Why, you remember-the first time
we were talking about him and Hester;
you said he'd have to be very much
changed from the man you used to
know if he consented to assume any
such responsibilities
'Did say that?"
"Of course you did; and 1 want to
know what it meant, and all about it,"
''Why, didn't mean anything in par
ticular, except that Hugh was always
peaceable fellow-a man who avoids
rows as cat picks her way around
pool of water"
''There's more than that to it, Tom,
dear, and you might just as we'll tell me
first as last. Hasn't he been talking to
you about this-this idiosyncrasy of
his?'
Ludlow dropped into his chair with
groan. II knew just how it would be-"
he said; and then he told her what he
could remember of the conversation in
which Ringbrand had confessed his in
ability to face danger and the bearing
this would have upon his relations with
Hester and her family. 'He said he
was going to try to fight it out with
himself, and that if he failed we needn't
be surprised if he turned up missing,
because he wouldn't have the face to
say good-by. Now you know the whole
of it, and why haven't been borrowing
any trouble about his disappearance.
1 concluded at once that he'd made
miss-go of his fight and had decided
that discretion was the better part of
valor.''
Mrs. Ludlow pursed up her lips and
walked airily around to her place at the
dinner-table. 'Tom," she said, smiling
serenely across the table at him, "I'm
positively ashamed of you. Do you sup
pose for moment that Hugh would
have stayed here all this time making
love to Hester when he knew all along
that he wasn't going to have the cour-
age to stand up for her when he got
posterous things, and l don't know
which is the more ridiculous-his alb
suridity in telling you, or yours in be-
lieving him."
Ludlow fell back in his chair in an
attitude of helpless despair. "Helen,
my dear, you'd make an angel weep;
you would, indeed! What have to do
