CHAPTER TX.

The momentary happiness which
his unexpected impression upon
Frances brought to Holbin soon gave
place to jealous rage. 1t was impos-
sible for him to rest satisfied. He
told himself that the war was on;
that he had been wonderfully success
full in his contact with the secret foe,
and that victory was still possible.
He went forth blindly into the city,
seeking information of an unknown
wounded man, but, of course, no ex-
PLANTATION was Forthcoming, for the
reason that no one knew of such a
man. At dark he sought the police
man whose beat. was nearest the
Brookin residence.
Pistol shot? Oh, yes: he had heard
pistol shots every night since the war
fever came on; the town was full
of excitement. And the officer re-
membered also that recently a car

CHAPTER x.

Holbin received the negro woman's
report in desperation. Upon the sec
ond night after, casting aside all
scruples, he went to his mothers room.
She had not retired, but was busy with
her correspondence, which she put
aside as her son entered the door.
without seeking to read them he saw
Washington, d. c." upon several
sealed letters, fact that he recalled
later. The smile of pleasure which lit
up her severe countenance disappeared
when she noted the look of anger and
distress on his face.
Well" she said, "are you still dis
satisfied ~ 1t was their first meeting
alone since the death of John BROOKLYN
DO not congratulate yourself too
soon, mother. The game is but half
played out, and we may find that
strong cards are held against u.s."
What do you mean by that?'
He walked the room, pausing at
times before her as she sat in her arm
chair. Her black eyes followed him.
Her white face was frozen into an i'm
penetrable mask He described the
occurrences of the last few days, and
made clean breast of it all, reserving
only certain facts in connection with
his experience with Louise, among
which was the existence of child.
These reservations he mentally classed
as irrelevant.
1t is not likely that Raymond's con-
LESSONS greatly surprised his mother.
She was, in fact. already familiar with
most of his history. The disturbing
elements of his statement were the
dangerous character of Louise and the
astounding circumstances of the
shooting. Yet these drew from Mrs.
Brookin no comment, no evidence of
excitement or dismay. She regarded
her son silently and sternly for few
moments, then dropped into chair.
A flush at length overspread her white
face. Raymond knew that it was the
advance wave of tide of anger and
hesitated when she ordered him to ring
the bell. She arose calmly, and cross
ing the room pulled the bell cord as
deliberately as though to summon her
carriage. A few minutes after, during
which time she stood rigidly looking
down on her son, William, the butler,
appeared

she said, land tell him to come to me;

"Mother!"
She waved the servant away and
turned upon her son with unrestrained
anger. DO You think that fear him /?
