his watch He was actually showing more
anxiety over this man who had bounded
him, or whom he had lived in dread, than
James had ,seen him show over any pa
tient since he had been with him. 1t seemed
10 him inconsistent. Mrs. Ewing did not
come down to luncheon; Clemency said that
she was not feeling as well usual. but
Gordon did not seem much disturbed even
by that. He gave Clemency some powders,
with instructions how to administer them
to the sick woman before he left, but he
did not show concern, and did not go up
stairs TO see her. Clemency herself looked
pale and anxious.
She found chance to whisper to James
before he went. rs that man very much
Hush, dear. ] am afraid so.''
Uncle Tom seems terribly worried I

mother, and he doesn't seem worried about
her now. Oh James, she 10 suffering fright

sob. Then Gordons voice was heard call
ing imperIously, Elliot, come along!"
James kissed the poor little face tenderly.
and whispered that she must not worry,
that probably the powders would relieve
her mother. and then that she herself had
better lie down and try TO get little sleep,
and hurried out.
Gordon was seated In the buggy waiting
for him. II don't want to lose any time,
he said brusQuely as James got in beside
him. Even few minutes sometimes work

no worse / will leave you with him. and

Its a pity to wake up anything" Cor
don said. Guess we'll put the mare up
ourselves" Now his voice was bitter again.
and after locking the stable the two men
entered. Gordon threw some wood on the
fire. The lamp with its dangling prisms
was burning. "Sit down minute" Gordon
said, II have something to tell you. I
may as well get it off my mind now.
1t has got to come some time"
James sat down and lit a cigar. He felt
himself in nervous tension. Gordon filled
his pipe and lit 1t, then he began to speak
in an odd, monotonous voice, as though he
were reciting.
THAT mans name was James Mendon.
He was an Englishman. When I first be-
man had a ranch near the little town
where 1 lived with my sister Alice. Alice
was beautiful girl. We had lost our
parents, and she kept house for me. The
man was as handsome 'as a devil, and he
had the DEVILS own way with women. God
only knows what a good girl like my sis
ter saw in him. He had a bad name,
even out In that rough country. Horrible
tales were circulated about his cruelty to
animals for one thing. His cowboys desert
ed him and told stories. His very dog turn
ed on him. and bit him. God knows how
he was torturing the animal. saw the
scar on his hand when he lay on his
death bed Well. however 1t was, my sis
ter loved him and married him, and he
treated her like a 1end. She died, and it
was a merciful release. He deserted her
three months before her death. Sold out
all he had, and left her without. a cent.
She came back to me. and three months
later Clemency was born
Gordon paused and looked at James.
Eyes," he said, that man was Clemencys
father
He waited, but only for a second. The
young man spoke, and his clear young
voice rang out like a trumpet. 81 never
loved Clemency as I love her now he
said.

Tell her tomorrow at 2 o'clock at the
hotel and tell her to leave said Gordon,
and his voice was suddenly apathetic aga.n.
When the woman had gone Gordon turned
to James How comedy will prick through

said James. He was becoming more and
more astonished at the older mans help

himself. What Is the mans manner" he
asked.
II don't know what name he has given
here" Gordon replied evasively. II will
tell you later on what his name u.s.
Suddenly the parlor door was flung open
and a woman appeared. She was middle
aged. very large. clad in black raiment
which had an effect of sliding and slipping
from her when she moved. She kept
clutching at the buttons OF her coat which
did not quite meet over her full front. She
brought together the ends of black fur
boa, she reached constantly for the back Of
her skirts. and gave them a firm tug, which
relaxed the next moment. Her decent
black bonnet was askew, her large face
was flushed She had been q strapping,
handsome country girl once; now she was
almost indecent in her involuntary exuber-
ance of coarse femininity.
How do you do, Mrs. Slocum?" DR.. Cor
| don said politely.
James rose, Gordon introduced him. Mrs.
Slocum did not bow, she 5erked her great
chin upward, then she spoke with really
alarming ferocity. Where has my boarder
went? That's what ] want to know. That 8

bowin's and scrapin's. Where has my
boarder went?"

That's all right. Doc" said George K,
and went.
James remained only a short time. since
he had the other calls to make. He re-
turned quite late to find that dinner had
been kept waiting for him, and Clemency
In her pretty red gown was watching. Mrs.
Ewing had not come down all day.
Mother says she is easier" Clemency OBJ
served. "only she thinks it better to keep
perfectly still" Clemency said very little
about the man at the hotel. She seemed
to dread the very mention Of him. She
and James spent a long evening together,
and she was entirely charming. James be-
gan to put behind him all the mystery and
dark hints Of evil. Clemency, although
fond. was as elusive as a butterfly. She
had feminine wiles to her finger tips, but
she was quite innocent of the fact that
they were wtles. It took the whole even
ing for the young man to secure a kiss or
two and have her upon his knee for the
space of about five minutes. She nestled
closely to him with q little sigh OF happi-
ness for very little while, then she
slipped away, and stood looking at him
like an elf. "I am not going to do that
much" said she.
"Why not, darling?"
Because am not. It is silly. love
you. but I will not be silly. want only

shattered and curtained as my house. I

live after the same fashion. Now the cause
FOR this secrecy is removed, but as far as
she Is concerned the truth must stiil be
concealed for Clemency's sake. Ii must not

Then the dinner bell rang.
To James surprise, but everything sur
prised him now, Gordon seemed to recover
his spirits. He ate heartily. He laughed
and joked. After dinner he went upstairs
to see Mrs Ewing, and when he came
down insisted that James should accompany
him to the hotel for game of euchre.
james would have preferred remaining with
Clemency, whose eyes were wistful, but
Gordon hurried him away. They remained
until nearly midnight in the parior, where
the funeral had taken place a short time
before, playing euchre, telling stories and
drinking apple-jack. James noticed that
the hotel man often cast an anxious and
puzzled glance at Gordon He began to
fancy that what seemed mirth and jollity
was the mere bravado of misery and
CHASTITY mask of real enjoyment He was
glad when Gordon made the move to leave.
George X stood In the door watching the
two men unite the horse and get into the
buggy. Take care of yourself. Doc, ne
hallooed and there was real affection and
concern in his voice.

her homeward road, made good time
