The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1899-11-17
CHAPTER VII

1t was two days later-a soaking
wet afternoon. Ever since early morn
ing the rain had been descending in a
steady persistent downpour, beating
upon the scorched grass, dashing to
pieces the rows of stately calceolarias
and geraniums, and converting every
path and flight of steps into as many
miniature streams aud turbulent cas-
cades Of seething waters.
Major Brown, driven almost to des-
pair by the depressing prospects Of
the day. wandered aimlessly from
billiard room to smoking room, from
smoking room to library, and at last
sat down before one of the writing
tables and hastily dashed off one or
two unimportant letters. His CORE
spondence completed, he directed and
sealed the envelopes, and was leisure
ly affiXing the stamps, when his at
tention became suddenly arrested by
something on the sheet of plotting pa
per before him.
What was it? With the exception
of a number of indescribable hierogly-
phics and the impression of line of
more boldly written characters, which
had evidently been hastily blotted, the
surface of the pink sheet was perfect
ly blank. Putting up his eye glass,
he scanned them for at least couple
of minutes in absolute silence, and
then, giving cautious glance round
the room, as though sudden thought
had struck him, he advanced, plotting
book in hand, towards Enthusiastically
framed mirror which stood above the
marble mantel. This further scrutiny
was, to all appearance, even more sue
cessful, for, as Major Brown held up
the strangely interesting sheet close
to the glass, a smile of satisfaction
Immediately lit up his face.

That
Mysterious
Major...

mol do not say that there is; but
| dislike making promiscuous ac-
quaintances. Mr.. Falkland was talk
ing about him only this morning, and
he seems thoroughly to understand my
feelings upon the subject"
"Yet a month ago Mr.. Falkland was
quite as promiscouous an acquaintance
himself. 1t was only by chance we
got to know him; and in his case he
had not even done anything for which
VIC were under any obligation to him"
was Evelyn's prompt reply.
my dear child, what are you talk
ing about?" Lady Towards tones were
slightly impatient. "Mr. Falkland's
was quite different case. We made
his acquaintance by chance; but l
should have been just as reluctant
to have anything to say to him as
am about this other man If we had
rot discovered in him an old friend OF
both my husband and your father. AT
the same time must say l never met
anybody before in whom I could place
such complete confidence. lie is so
different from the general run of young
men, who can talk of nothing but their
shooting, their horses and their dogs"
ooh, yes-he is very nice, of course
but"-Miss Luttrell paused for mo-
lnent-"he is not exactly young
mani"
Possibly not" The touch Of impa-
thence in her ladyship's tones was SUI
perseded by one of distinct annoyance.
Neither" she added, sis this mystic
rious individual with whom you have
struck up such a warm friendship. l
should imagine there are only very
few years difference in their ages"
"Now, Aunt Lydia. do not talk non
sense! Major Brown may be as old
as Methuselah for all l care! And,
as for saying that l have struck up
friendship with him-well, that is
really mean of you'll" Evelyn pushed
back her chair, advanced to the mid
die of the room, and with her hands
clasped behind her, gazed serenely at
her aunt. you surely know that you

did more towards making that ac-
you talked to him last evening and
overwhelmed him with thanks for res
cuing me than l could have done in
a whole year! Why, if had not known
to the contrary, l should have thought
he was the one person in the hotel for
whom you had the greatest respect"
"Yet, what else could 1 do when,
but for his timely aid, you might at
this very moment be lying famed for
life or even dead?" returned Lady
Howard, with little shudder.
"Oh, no! You did quite right, of
counsel" said Evelyn thoughtfully.
Perhaps nobody realized more fully
than herself how much she had to be
thankful for. But do not say it is
my fault if newell, if for the future
he does not merely take off his hat
and pass on with a distant bow when
he chances to meet you!'-laughing
lightly.
No; the distant bow was quite a
luluS VI the past, IuSlT acquaintance
was on totally different footing now
"a state of affairs to which Major
Brown himself was thoroughly alive
when, half an hour later, he CHANGED
to meet Miss Luttrell in the garden.
He welcomed her warmly, persisted in
showing her some new plans for a
projected golf course, and was still
walking by her side when a turn in
the path brought them face to face
with Gilbert Falkland.
so there you are, Miss Eve!" he
began by way of greeting. utterly ig-
noring her companion. Il was just
wondering where the bird had flown. "
The words were spoken lightly, in
the same familiar half-patronizing
strain which Mr.. Falkland usually
adopted towards the daughter Of his
old friend. Five minutes ago, when
was passing along the verandah
noticed that the window Of your sit
ting room was wide open, that the
apartment itself was empty. and that

ut Is very awkward, but then 1t is
just exactly what one might have sup
posed would happen" Lady Howard
spoke in strangely perturbed tone.
For the past few minutes she had been
occupied in reading the London pa
per, but the remark, which was ac-
companied by faint sigh, was evil
IDENTIFY the outcome of a previous con-
versation. III one has particular
antipathy for a certain individual, one
may be quite sure that, as ill-luck will
have 1t, one will be brought in con-
tact with that very individual at every
turn and corner; and it has just been
so with Major Brown. During the past
four or five days we must have had &C.
casion to speak to him at least a
dozen times. What with lending us
his umbrella on the day we were caught
in that thunder shower, helping in the
search for Sambo when you lost him
the other morning, and to crown all,
rescuing you almost from under the
hoofs of that tiresome horse upon the
shore yesterday, we seem to have pass
ell our time in saying nothing but
thank you,' to him. Really every
thing has happened as awkwardly as 1t
could. OF course accidents are con-
stantly occurring; still cannot mag
inc how you managed to get under
the hoofs Of that horse"
"Well, yes-it was troublesome Of
me. 1t would have been almost bet
ter if it had killed me outright" was
Evelyn's answer from the deep en-
brasure of the window, where she was
sitting before a small writing table
busily scribbing off several notes.
But, anyhow, we were under an OBJ
legation to him for getting wet through
on our account the other night, when
in that pouring rain he found us cab
after the theater. After that, we were
obliged to be polite to him.
"Yes-polite of course" agreed her
ladyship, twisting her rings somewhat
thoughtfully round and round upon her
fingers; "but you have to be more than
