CHAPTER XIV.

THERE'S NOTHING TO FEAR HERE"
Mason was In strange position.
His feet had touched a jutting piece of
point was SO small and the side of the
hill was SO steep that he did not dare
TO move, but remained in this perilous
plight. unable to go backward or for
ward or even to lean far enough to the
right to see what had happened to Da-
vid Tregaron when he fell into the
cleft between the two hills.
Meanwhile the old woman had re-
lapsed into silence and stood looking
down at some object below with the
blank, staring gaze which had seemed
% uncanny to Mason throughout his
acquaintance with her.
The voice Of Coch Tai from the path
aSove him now called Masson's atten-
aDn back to the peasant.
Don't you move, sir, don't You move.
You're dead man If you do"
IAN right" answered the doctor, not
very steadily.
He did not quite realize from which
quarter he was now threatened, wheth-
er by Coch Tai himself or by the farm
ers gun, or by his own situation on the
side Of the hill. The pause which sue
ceeded seemed unending. There he re-
NAMED, with his feet close together,
against the point Of rock, his clothing
saturated by the thawing snow at his
back and the now risen sun pouring
upon him across the mountains on the
left.
At the end of what seemed very
long period of waiting, during which
the old woman had disappeared and
the whole valley seemed to be STEPPED
In solemn, awful stiffness, he hearo
the voice Of Coch Tai above his head
once more.
Put the rope around you, sir, and
come up carefully. You're wanted"
Mason saw by this time that a
strong rope, with moose at the end,
was being lowered to him from. above.
He made himself fast to it and, with
the help Of Coch Tai and Tom, regain
ed the path with some difficulty. He
found Coch Tai looking very grave
and the lad Tom In panic of strange
fear, trembling from head to foot, and
unable to speak.
No sooner was the doctor on his feet
than Coch Tai drew him rapidly along
the path to point where there was an
easy descent into the valley below.
II told you, sir. that you were want
ed" said he in grave voice, "but
don't know as was right. Look"
He pointed to spot below them,
where, damned between two sharp
rocks, there lay something indistin.

presently.
And then she retired In her turn, and
Mason and the girl were left alone.
For few minutes she remained in
the same position, with her head bent
over her hands. He did not even feel
sure that she was conscious of his
presence. But at last she raised her
head and showed him a face which
was drawn into strange Fuckers and
lines by stress of deep feeling.
"Perhaps," said he gently, you
would rather not speak to me. l am
quite content to go away without hear
Ing anything more. Indeed, l can
guess for myself much that you may
have thought 1t necessary for me to
know"
but Gwyn babe him remain, making
an imperious gesture of command rath-
er than entreaty that he should be
seated. So he took the chair on the
opposite side Of the fireplace. clasped
his hands loosely together and leaned
forward with his arms upon his knees,
so that he could listen without appear
Ing to watch her face.
"You must know; you must hear"
said she in faltering voice, "for all
our sakes and for your own. You must
not go away thinking that we are
body Of murderers and thieves. We
are not. You must not come back or
send detectives back to hunt out the
mystery of your brothers. death"
DO you think wouldT began Mas
son holly. but she sllenced him by
gesture and went on:
Eyes, you would, II we let you go
away without knowing the truth You
might think yourself bound by some
tie of kindness, Of gratitude, to keep
silent. But in the long run you would
say something or do something; you
would come back or send some one in
your behalf, and we should at any rate
all lie under the disgrace-my brother

that all we had to go upon was sus-

"Three?'
Yes, yes. While we l,new that they
had died mysteriously, and we con-
nected his absence from home with
their deaths, yet there was never any
difference in his manner to us, and no.
body else ever suspected that they had
met with foul play. You know your
self how dangerous these hills are.
Look at my own fathers death this
morning"
"Was it you who sent Coch Tai to
warn me not to so to 'Trecoed this
morning.
Yes. knew my father was on the
watch" whispered the girl. '.And
granny knew it, AMI she went down to
watch him. She followed him when he
went out with his gun. And it was
she who tried to stop him when he
fired. And-and you know the rest"
There was long silence.
Il cannot yet understand it." said
Mason at last. You have all acted
almost as If you were in league with
your father"
"Don't-don't say that" pleaded the
girl. Poor Tom only obeyed him
when he could not help himself"
your grandmother. who could have
warned me, kept silence"
How could she have warned you
against the son she loved! She would
have done anything for him, although
she suspected him too. But she held
out in her heart against believing him
guilty longer than any of the others,
and when he told her not to talk to
you, for fear Of her letting out some
thing, suppose, she oheyed him. as
she always did. 1t was not until she
saw him ire-at youths morning
that she really believed 1t will break
her heart"
1t was a CHASTITY story. Mason got

this aud other cities 1t was a happy
selection when Gen. Brooke secured the
services of Nj Greenlease.
Americans in Cuba have learned,
even IN their short stay there, how to
appreciate the cuisine and service of
the American chefs. Mr.. Greenlease
was considered not only very fine, but
the best terrapin cook in New York
City, and is endorsed by such men as
Mr.. Anderson Cammsck, J. Lewis
Fitzgerald, Col. James B. Fossiti, John
K. DospOsso, L. r. Jerome, E. z
Willard, Col. James B. Ochiltree, Fred,
Gould, W. K. Travers-all of New Y ork
City. In Philadelphia he is known by
such men as Mr.. Clayton McMichael
Of The North American" and Mr..
Lovsjoy. In CHICAGO, in Baltimore and
IN Washington, the leading men know
OF his efficiency as q master CT the
cuisine. On several occasions Mr.. Cam

1t l5 said that one time the famous
John Chamberlain sent one of his
walters to try to get the recipe from

Turkish Minister one night, "Green
lease, my boy, you have got the best
chance OF your life to bs great cook
the chance that no other colored boy
has ever had that i know OFF,
The first position Mr.. Greenlease had
after he had finished his trade was with
Minister Polo, the representative of
Spain at Washington. The minister
wanted French cook. At that time
cooks were not 50 plentiful az they are
today, and he sent the lad, Greenlease,
to fill in until he could get a cook.
The Minister ooked at his youthfulness
and said, "My boy, don't think you
will suit me, but yon can give US the
breakfast at 10 O'clock" After that,
one dsy he told Givaudan that the
"boy" would do, and the "boy"
stayed with him until the Minister was
recalled.
"When once given trial he filled
he BILL" In every position he has
ever been called to accept he has given
full measure of satisfaction. Mr..
Greenlease once went to hotel IN New
York City where they wanted a cook.
all the cooks were white. The chef
sized him up and said in French that
he must be steamboat, like the
rest of the dsrkies; but nevertheless he
told him I'd come In in the morning
and he would give him work for few
days. SO he arrived at the appointed
time, and was shown the coat-room
where the cooks kept their belongings.
When he came into the kitchen the
cooks and the Irish kitchen girls stared
at him, and one Of them remarked,
"What's tha ?"
The chef says: "This way; here's the
lunch bill. 1 want you to work on this,
and when you get through, let me
know"
Row, the work that was given to him
is the WORK to test the quail flea tions Of
a cook to fix the soups, sauces and sp.
trees. He made the two soups, pure
Mongolia and boulllon, Canape Lorengo,
Scotch wood ,oek, Salisbury steaks,
sauces, Montaglos and apricots with
rice la colbert. When Mr.. GreenIease
had finished, the chef said to the second
cook, "He is cook" and thew wanted
to get rid of him ss soon as possible.
AS socn as The rush was over he was to
60. Now this part Of the cooking is the
second cooks work but sometimes the
chef helps II he feels like it. One of the
walters was friend of Mr.. Greenlease,
having waited with him at Saratoga,
and this waiter wal ed on the pro-
prietor. The family always came in
late, Just about the time the doors were
closed, and then the waiter would have
tO catch up what he could; but, Mr..
Greenlease, having an eye to business,
would always fix up dinner and have
roast capon or something nice, which |
perhaps was not on the bill Of fare, and |
the waiter would say, "the colored cook
fixed this" and by 50 doing he won the
favor Of the proprietor. One night the
proprie. or sent for Greenlease to come
up to his private office. While there he
had long talk. He wanted to know
where he had worked, ETC., After Green
lease had told him, he said to Green
