CHAPTER XVIII,

Spring, with its perennial miracle Of
the new birth, had come again. With a
witchery Of bursting bud and piercing
blade it once more wove it's magic spell
about the cold brown earth.

tonness of joy in the COOL dark waters

where weeks before he had lain between

him.

had been sure and rapid.

friction, was white silk handkerchief
marked n. q. B."
"Do you know what those initials

voice.
Marianne looked at her with eyes
suddenly grown hard.
Eyes, they might stand for Reginald
Gore Belknap, and the handkerchief
looks like those Monksey laughed at me
for putting in brothers. knapsack, but
do you suppose would accept that poor,
shabby wreck for my splendid brother
Oh such flimsy evidence as that"
She flung the photograph upon the
ground in paroxysm of pain and tore
the handkerchief into bits.
Jessics stopped and recovering the
picture slipped it into the wallet hang
ing upon her arm. The fragments Of
the handkerchief she left to flutter out
of sight when some friendly breeze
should take them in hand.
Coming close up to her, Marianne
seized her arm passionately.
"Take it back, take it back. You
know that unshaven creature is not
Reggie, my splendid brother, of whom
was 30 proud"
The sternness Of Jessica's face was
tempered by pity.
II have nothing to take back. My
men are bringing your brother to my
house. am prouder of that poor shat
tered wreck than ever thought to bs Of
living man."
The sound Of rapidly approaching feet
pattering along the dusty road behind
them made Jessica turn her head. Oscar
was hurrying after her with some loose
papers in his hand.
"These fell out Of his pocket. miss.
when we was liftin him up"
Hand them to Miss Belknap. They
are hers by rights"
II waive all claim to them. Hand
them to Miss Bascom."
Jessioa took them from Oscar and or.
dered him to return to the cot. The ex-
animation Of the papers took but u few
moments There were but two Of them.

written by himself. 1t read:

me and to send the ring On my left

Jessica quickened her ztses to catch
up with Marianne.
"My poor child, sulking will do no
good. Look at these and be convinced.
My heart aches for you"
The child took the papers from her
Land, read them and turned blanched
face toward the procession following
them at a little distance.
"And this is war!" aha said In n
choked voice.
And this is war;" Jessioa answered
solemply.

that destiny had flung upon her hands,
Jessica piled him as vigorously as she
dared with alternate quantities of cor
dial and milk.
IF only you could tell me who you
are. my poor man! There may be some
mother, some wife or sister, hungering
for a glimpse Of your face. Try now
just to give me your name-your last
name"
He had opened his eyes and lay star
ing up at hor as if he were trying to
grasp the meaning Of her words. Sud
denly his lids dropped, and she could
see hot tears forcing their way through
them. She wiped them away with her
own handkerchief Ho seized it and
pressed it to his lips. A choking sound
caused by his frantic efforts to speak
intelligibly made Jessica bend her ears
close to his lips.
"Just your name, only your last
name, SO that I may let your friends
know
He placed his hand upon his breast
"You mean that will find it there?"
His arms fell apart and his eyes closed.
He had tainted again. Jessioa had just
succeeded in restoring him once more
when the crashing of heavy feet
through the brambles told her that Ma
rianne was near at hand with the men
and the cot.
II think" she said when the men
had put the cot in position, THAT will

his breast for anything you can find.
He motioned me to do so.'
Oscar obeyed. His search resulted in
the finding Of bulky package. He
handed it to Jessica.
VERY we'll now. You boys lift him
carefully and bring him to the house
slowly. Miss Belknap and l will go on
ahead and have a room got ready"
AREN'T you going to examine the
package?" Marianne asked, as they got
back into the open road.

strings that bound it.
