CHAPTER IX.


The housekeeper said not word,
but went to the window and threw
back the curtains, then touched a
match to the wood laid ready in the
crate. The flames leaped forth as if
glad to escape from their resinous
prison, making glittering reflections in
the polished tiles and filling every cor
ner with rosy glow. Phebe rolled her
mistress favorite chair to the hearth,
Come and sit here, Miss Gladys,
while get you cup Of coffee. 1t will
warm you up. The room is like a
vault"
Gladys crushed back sob and meek
ly did as she was hidden. She always
obeyed Phebe. She drank the coffee
when 1t was brought and looked apollo
getically into the housekeepers kind II
grim face.
II miss Louise Leonard so much!"
she said.
II know all about 1t, Miss Gladys.
That reason will do as well as any
pther. When are you going to have
Mr.. Walter Barr and his young wife
here to dinner? They've been married
three months now"
II suppose l ought to invite them
eoon." said Gladys, Frightening lit
lie. "But Mrs. Harvey SO objects to
company"
"And is the house to be kept like
tomb to please her? She has her hus-
band and baby, and you have nobody,
ht seems. It's little ever thought to
see Mr.. Harvey woman's fool! She
twists him around her finger. and the
great BOBBY doesn't know 1t. Well,
well. I won't say any more, but you're
being moped to death, and I'm not go
Ing to stand by and see you fade away
before my eyes. Rouse yourself, my
hearie. You'll be different creature II
you see living people once more"
Gladys looked thoughtfully into the
Sire for space.
II think you are right. Phebe," she
presently said with an air Of decision.
81 will do as you say"
She dressed herself with unusual
care for dinner. She was resolved to
charm her sulky boy into good humor.
He had Just taken his place at the table
when she entered, charming vision In
pale pink and white, and he smiled in
voluntarily.
why, how lovely We are this even
dng!" he exclaimed.
Helen darted at him disapproving
look; but the pleasant words had es-
lcapsd, and Gladys was responding to
them In kind as she took her place at
his right. She had long ago given
Helen the head Of the table. She COW
eted 1t, and Harvey was pleased to see
her there, and she herself cared moth
ing for petty distinctions.
The conversation moved on pleasant
LIZ, II ,trine haltingly. and presently
lGladys announced her intention of in
tviting Mr.. and Mrs. Barr and one or
1.-Two other friends to dinner.

vey, II you and Helen are disengaged
Nor that evening"" she said.

smouldering anger against the mar
ried couple kindled into a flame by
Gladys condition. But don't fret,
dearie; I'll do as you say. Shall
give the keys to Mrs. Harvey?" she
added, feeling that her mistress was
very i'll already.
Eyes; it will keep her out of your,
way" said Gladys with faint smile.'
Then her eyes closed again and she
sank into a troubled sleep"
Next morning she was tossing with
fever, and for three months knew
nothing Of what was going on around
her. One bright October day she OPP
ened her eyes and looked searchingly
into Phebe's face. The faithful woman,
wearied by her long vigils, was nod
ding in her chair by the bedside.
why, Phebe, how thin you are!" she
exclaimed in weak voice.
Phebe started up with stifed cry.
"Oh. my lamb, my lamb, thank God
you've come back to us again." she
said. tears streaming from her eyes.
Why. haw long have been here?"
Gladys asked.

In truth poor Harvey. in many ways
a boy still, needed the comfort the
woman he adored alone could give; in
her presence he was speedily .cheered
and soothed.
Its an ugly story, darling" she
said, but no one knows it. And the
situation is substantially the same;
you are your grandfather's heir NOR
ally. IL not legally, and surely your
mother will not let you suffer all your
life for her fault-no woman in her
position could be SO wicked"
Harvey WINGED. Only the other day
he had thought that mother little
lower than the angels. Helen saw that
even she might speak too plainly, and
took another tone. But inwardly she
rejoiced that the woman she had felt
was her superior had not always lived
above reproach. The knowledge prom
Used a certain hold upon her, and in
her manner toward Gladys when next
they met there was hint Of power
and a measure of contempt the latter
found it hard to bear.
Harvey's demeanor, too, had altered.
For days he looked pale and grave.
Although perfectly respectable to his
smother he spoke to her as seldom as
possible, addressing most OF his re-
marks, when the little family met at
table, to his wife. Gladys sympathized
with his mood. and waited patiently
dor 1t to pass. She knew how CALLED
his proud spirit must be; still, as the
monotonous days crawled by, bringing
mo change, she began to feel very
lonely.
She would have consoled herself
with the baby had she been allowed to
do SO. but Helen had her own ideas,
wise ones, all of them, on the subject
OF child rearing. 1t made an infant
precocious, she said, to notice them too
much; his intellect should be allowed
to develop gradually. AS for the in
ane nonsense called baby talk. no child
OF hers should listen to it. Good En-
glish was just as simple and far more
sensible. And Gladys, who would have
cooed the sweet mother jargon by the
hour. all the world forgetting save the
smiling mite in her arms, knew that a
reproof was intended, and accepting it,
left Harvey's baby to Harvey's wife.
Had she been a strong-minded wom-
an she would have have risen above
her trials and found happiness in her
own occupations; but she was only
gentle, clinging creature to whom love
was as the breath of life. That gone,
nothing remained.
She wondered sometimes how Har-
yey, even though displeased, could neg
1ect her so. In the past they had been
everything to each other. Now he sell
dom gave her thought; his wife was
his all In all. Helen's GOODNESS did not
hurt her; she was not of her blood,
and she had no claim ON her affection;
but she had given her life to Harvey,
and his indifference was hard to bear.
One cold, rainy day Phebe found her
crying in her private parlor, which was
divided from her sleeping and dressing
rooms by wide hall. The curtains
were drawn and the spacious apart
ment usually SO pretty in its tints of
crimson and blue seemed cold and
gloomy.

Will Remove TulI To-day.

Deputy Sheriff Bradley some time
this afternoon or evening will eject
from the premises at Eighth and
Monroe streets, 81 year old Adam
Dayett, his SS-year old .wife and
Mr.. and Mrs. William II. Tull who
reside there. This was the infor-
nation given out by Attorney Lii
burne Chandler this morning. The
property was formerly owned by
William II. Tull, and the story Of
his misfortune together with the
ejectment proceeding instituted by
Mr.. Chandler on Wednesday, has
been given publicity through these
columns.
A reporter for the REPUBLICAN
visited the Tull home this morning.
He found Mr.. and Mrs. Tull in pos
session OF me property and from
the tenor of the formers conversa-
ton he hoped to rcmainin the prop
erty until such time as he was able
TO adjust his difficulties. He did
not know that Mr.. Chandler had in
structed Deputy Sheriff Bradley
to eject him. Ills aged father-ln-
law, Mr.. Dayett, was in bed too i'll
to be removed, according to letter
which Dr.. l.. A. kittinger sent to
Medford Il. Cahoon, Mr.. Tuil's
counsel, yesterday afternoon. But
Mr. Cahoon could do nothing to
prevent execution of the writ which
Mr.. Chandler had placed in the
shcritf's hands. Mr.. Tull said he
had appealed to friends of Captain
Owens, who has purchased the
property. and Z through them he
hoped to be able to remain in the
house until such time as the condi-
ton Of his aged Iather-n-law and
mother-in-law would permit their
removal.
Mr.. Chandler said that the aged
couple would not be Inconvenience
by his acton. If the weather proved
incicmcnt he would have them les
moved IN closed carriage and If
Mr.. and Mrs. Tull had no home to
take them he had secured a friend
who would get them place and al
