CHAPTER XIII.

O1Ar UNI DONCAN carried
out his purpose, as he
thought, with a good deal Of
~ tact. He began by calling
not upon Barbara, but upon three or
four other young women-a thing he
had never done before. He thought in
this way to make his call upon Bar
bara, when it should come, an incon-
spicuous event. To his surprise, his
entrance thus into society created
something of futter among the wo-
men folk, especially the married, wo-
men who had manageable daughters
or who were matchmakingly interested
in other young women not their daugh-
tiers; for Guilford Duncan, the moment
be was thought of as a social factor
and matrimonial possibility, was seen
to be the "best catch" in the little city,
the most desirable young man in the
town. He was young and distinctly
handsome. He was a man of ed11ca-
ton, culture and superior intelligence.
His manners were easy, polished and
very winning. Especially he treated
women with certain chivalric defer
ence that pleased them even more
than they knew. Captain Will Hal
lam's wife, who was the social leader
Of the city, said to him one day:
"You must be careful what you do in
the way Of paying attention to young
women. A very little attention on
your part is apt to mean a great deal
to girl-and still more to her man,
MAJ
"But why should it?'' asked Duncan
in unfeigned establishment. "Why
should ordinary social courtesy on my
part mean more than the same thing
means in the case of any other Young
man?"
Il don't know that I can tell you,"
She answered. AT least don't know
that can make you understand

tated and did not complete the SEN

"Oh, know all that. 1 know what
you mean, because it is what mean.
I tell you that If you pay more than
just little and very casual atten-
ton to any girl, the girl and, worse
still, all her elderly female relatives
are likely to misconstrue your motives.
You are in serious danger of breaking
some tender hearts and winning for
yourself the reputation of being that
most detestable thing a male flirt."

than twice upon any one girl, and''

| ton that it was every strong mans
| duty to protect every woman and to
punish any disrespect shown to her.
It was through one of Roberts bat
ties that Guilford Duncan became &C.
Quainted with his hostess, Barbara
Verne. That young woman very rare
~ appeared in the dining room, and
so the young Virginian had scarcely
more than met her when one morning
on his way to breakfast he came upon
a battle between Robert-"free man of
color" as he loved to call himself
and three Cairo boys who had waylaid
him in order to avenge the punishment
he had given few days before to one
of them who had playfully hurled half
a brick through Barbara's kitchen win
dow.
When Duncan came upon the battle
field Robert was backed up against a
dead wall. Two of his adversaries had
gone to grass, and the third was hest
tating to prosecute the attack alone.
Seeing his hesitation, Bob-great STRAIT
egist that he was-instantly decided to
| convert his successful defense into a
successful offense without delay. Quit
ting his defensive position against the
wall, he rushed upon his remaining adj
versary, who promptly retreated with
out waiting to reckon upon the casual
ties.
Then Bob jumped upon his other and
slowly rising antagonists, knocked
them down again and hurriedly exact
ed of each wish may de- promise
to let Little Missile" alone from that
day forth.
"Good for you, Bob!' exclaimed
young Duncan. "But We'll make that
promise more binding. Help me, and
I'll take these young ruf6ans before
Judge Gross and compel them to give
bonds for good behavior"
It didn't take long to arraign the cul-
prits, prove that they had thrown a
brickbat through Barbara's window
and secure an order Of the court re-
quiring them to give considerable
bonds for good behavior in future.
This brought their parents into court
and subjected them to a good deal of
annoyance and trouble. They had to
give bonds, and, more troublesome
still, they had to control their boys.
Then again the newspapers published
the facts.
In this way Guilford Duncan multi
piled his enemies in Cairo. But he had
deep seated conviction that it is
worth a mans while to make enemies
by doing right In this matter he had
done only right. He had invoked the
law for the protection of woman, and
he had completely accomplished his
purpose. He cared nothing for the re-
Wings that ensued, but Ober, the man
of brains and character who edited the
principal newspaper of the town, took
the matter up and made much of it.
''This town is barbaric," he wrote in
his editorial columns. 1T owes sincere
thanks to Mr. Guilford Duncan for
teaching it that law is supreme; that it
is to the law we should appeal in every
case of wrongdoing. The parents Of
the young hoodlums who have been
bound over to keep the peace have long
needed this lesson. This newspaper
rejoices that the lesson has been given

upon the equal enforcement Of the law
for the sake of good order in the COM
munity. But Duncan concerned him
self with none of these things. He
had done his simple duty as man and
as a citizen, and he had no care what
ever for consequences.
And yet the consequences were such
as vitality affected his entire career in
more ways than one. His perform
ance brought him for one thing into
close acquaintance with a certain
young woman whom he had scarcely
known before and whose destiny it
was to influence the entire future
course of his life
1t was Duncan's habit to sit long
and smoke over his final cup of coffee
at the evening NEAL The other table
boarders We're accustomed to hurry
away as soon as they had swallowed
their supper, leaving him in sole pos
session of the dining room.
On the evening of the day on which
the events already related occurred he
sat as usual smoking, slipping his cof-
fee and reading the evening newspa-
per. Presently Barbara Verne entered
and with a manner in which extreme
shyness was mingled with a resolute
determination to do the duty that lay
before her approached young Duncan
and held out her hand. AS he arose
deferentially to greet her, taking her
proffered hand in his, the girl said:
1--WE come to thank you, Mr.. Dun
can. 1t was very kind of you-to pro-
tect Robert, you know-and me. Pm
Barbara Verne. Thank you ever SO
much"
AS she made her little speech the
brave but timid girl looked him in the
eyes with the embarrassed front of
child set to do duty mingled with the
calm composure of woman who
knows and cherishes the dignity of her
womanhood
Duncan protested that no thanks
were due him for doing his simple
duty, and after word or two more
the girl quilted the room, while Dun
can, CALAMITY bowling, held the door
open for her.
The little interview lasted for less
than two minutes, and not an unneces-
sary word was spoken on either side,
yet it seemed to Duncan an event of
consequence, as indeed it proved to be-
Something in the girls voice or man
ner, or something in her eyes, or some
thing in her grace of movement her
bearing, her mingled simplicity and
dignity, or something In all these COM
bined, had nightly impressed him. He
had seen little of women in any init
mate way, and, while he honored wo-
manhood and deferred to it, as every
sound souled man must, he had
thought himself quite Indifferent to
women in their individual personality.
But somehow he could not feel so with
Barbara Verne, and later in the even
ing he scourged himself for his folly in
continuing to think of her to the inter-
ruption Of the reading he had set him
self to do.
II will call upon her and become
really acquainted with her," he said
to himself. 'That will cure me Of this
strange and utterly absurd fascination.
OF course the girl must be common

realize that, the glamour will fade
