CHAPTER VI.

lLL the next day Chilcote moved
r. in fever of excitement Hot
I'M with hope one moment, cold
- with fever the next, he rushed
with restless energy into every task
that presented itself, only to drop it as
speedily. Twieasdurine the morning he
drove to the entrance of Clifford's inn,
but each time his courage failed him
and he returned to Grosvenor square to
learn that the expected message rom
I4oder had not come.
It was wearing condition Of mind,
but at worst 1t was scarcely more than
an exaggeration of what his state had
obvious difference in his bearing or
manner.
In the afternoon he took his place In
the house, but, though it was his first
appearance since his failure of two
days ago, he drew but small personal
notice. When he chose, his manner
could repel advances with extreme
effect, and of late men had been prone
to draw away from him.
In one of the Hobbies he encountered
Fraide surrounded by a group Of
friends With his usual furtive haste
he would have passed on, but moving
away from his party the old man ac-
coSted him. He was always courteously
particular in his treatment of Chilcote,
as the husband of his ward and god
child
Better, Chilcote," he said. holding
out his hand At the sound of the low,
rather formal tones, so characteristic
of the old statesman. hundred memo
ries rose to Chilcote's mind, a hundred
hours distasteful in the living and IN
bearable in the recollection, and with
them the new fash of hope. the new
possibility of freedom In a sudden
rush of confidence he turned to his
leader.
4 believe I've found remedy for
my nerves. he said IL believe I'm
going to be a new man" He laughed
with a touch of excitement.
Fraide pressed his fingers kindly.
THAT is right" be said That is right.
| called at Grosvenor square this morn
ing. but Eve told me your illness of the
other day was not serious. She was
very busy this morning. She could
only spare me quarter of an hour.
She is indefatigable over the social side
Of your prospects, Chilcote. You owe
her large debt A popular wife
means great deal to a politician"
The steady eyes of his companion dis
turbed Chilcote.
He drew away his hand

''Eve is nninne." lac SAID vagnelv-

Eve Is unique, ne SAID vaguely.
Fraide smiled. "That is right" he
said again. Admiration Is too largely
excluded from modern marriages."
And with a courteous excuse he re-
Joined his friends.
1t was dinner time before Chilcote
could desert the house, but the moment
departure was possible he hurried to
Grosvenor square.
AS he entered the house the hall
was empty. He swore irritably under
his breath and pressed the nearest
bell. Since his momentary exaltation
in Fraide's presence his spirits had
steadily fallen until now they hung at
the lowest ebb.
AS he waited in unconcealed impa-
tience for an answer to his summons
he caught sight of his man Allsopp at
the head of the stairs.
Come herew he called, pleased to
find some one upon whom to vent his
irritation. HAS that wire come for
mef"
mo, sir. 1 inquired five minutes
back"
inquire again"
Eyes, sir" Allsopp disappeared.
A second later after his disappear
ance the bell of the hall door whizzed
loudly.
Chilcote started All sudden sounds,
like all strong lights, affected him. He
half moved to the door, then stopped
himself with a short exclamation. at
the same instant Allsopp reappeared
Chilcote turned on him excitedly.
What the DEVILS the meaning Of
this?'' he said. ga battery of servants
in the house and nobody to open the
hall door,
Allsopp looked embarrassed. Crap

! the door yourself"
| Allsopp hesitated, his dignity strug-
! Cling with his obedience. AS he wait
ed the bell sounded again.
| did you hear me?" Chilcote said.
Eyes, sir" Allsopp crossed the hall.
AS the door was opened Chilcote
/ passed his handkerchief from one
hand to the other in the tension Of
hope and fear, then as the sound of
his own name in the shrill tones of 4
telegraph boy reached his ears he let
the handkerchief drop to the ground.
Allsopp took the yellow envelope and
carried 1t to his master.
"A telegram. sir" he said And the
boy wishes to know if there is an an
swer.' Picking up Chilcote's handker-
chief, he turned aside with elaborate
dignity
Cnlcote's hands were so unsteady
that he could scarcely insert his fin
ger under the flap Of the envelope.
Tearing off a corner, he wrenched the
covering apart and smoothed out the
fimsy pink paper.
The message was very simple, con-
sisting Of but seven words:
Shall expect you at II tonight.
LODER.
He read It two or three times, then
he looked up. NO answer" he said
mechanically, and to his own ears the
relief in his voice sounded harsh and

Exactly as the clocks chimed II
Chilcote mounted the stairs to Loder's
rooms. But this time there was more
Of haste than of uncertainty in his
steps. and, reaching the landing, he
crossed it in couple of strides and
knocked feverishly on the door.
1t opened at once, and Loder stood
before him.
The occasion was peculiar. For a
moment neither spoke; each involun-
tarily looked at the other with new
eyes and under changed conditions.
Each had assumed a fresh standpoint
in the others thought The passing
establishment, the half impersonal Gu
riosity that had previously tinged their
relationship, was cast aside, never to
be reassumed. In each the other saw
himself-and something more.
AS usual, Loder was the first to re-
cover himself.
II was expecting you" he said.
won't you come IMP"
The words were almost the same as
his word of the night before, but his
voice had a different ring, just as his
face when he drew back into the
room had a different expression q
suggestion of decision and energy that
had been lacking before. Chilcote
caught the difference as he crossed
the threshold, and for q bare second
flicker Of something like jealousy
touched him, but the sensation was
feeting
II have to thank you," he said, hold
ing out his hand. He was too well
bred to show by a hint that he under
stood the drop in the others principles,
but Loder broke down the article.
Lets be straight with each other,
since everybody else has to be deceiv-
ed" he said. taking the others hand.
you have nothing to thank me for,
and you know it. It's a touch Of the
old Adam. You tempted me, and
fell" He laughed, but below the laugh
ran note of something like triumph
the curious triumph Of a man who has
known the tyranny OF strength and
suddenly appreciates the freedom Of a
weakness.
You fully realize the thing you have
proposed? he added in a different
tone Its not TOO late to retract even
now"
Chilcote opened his lips, paused, then
laughed in imitation of his companion,
but the laugh sounded forced.

"Never?"

at the First Baptist Church tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock. The subject,
"Jordan is a Hard Road to Travel, . need
not mislead anyone. II is strictly re-

of travels. However, though only men
are expected to be present, not a sen
,ence will be uttered which will be OBJ
fashionable to the wife or daughter OF
any one who may attend. Good music
will be feature OF the occasion. The
meeting last night was exceedingly IN
teresung. The sudden cold spell al
tected the attendance somewhat, hut the

100 Considerable ice formed, the hats
in the river being covered. While the
northwest wind OF last night was not as
high as that Of the preceding night, II
was nevertheless keen and drove people
from the streets to more congenial quar-
tiers. The present cold wave, however,
will not be of long duration, as indica
TONS from all sections give prcspects OF
more moderate weather very soon. The
wave extends over the eastern portion
of the United States, the Lake region,
and various portions of the West, with
extremely low temperature in many
places The cold wave came from the
extreme northwest, and moved over the
Mississippi and Ohio Valley, the Lake
region, and over the Atlantic States gen.
orally. The mercury has fallen consid-
ersbly as far south as Savannah, where
the record was f,riy-two degrees, with
probably freez ng weather this morning.

Attempt to Wreck ii Train.

What appears to have been delIbeT-
ate effort TO wreck one of the fast trains
of the Southern Railway Thursday night,
a mile north of Franklin JUNCTION, re-
suited in a northbOund freight being
wrecked. Eight cars were SMASHED into
snlinters and the Tn. inc Was turned upside
down along the track. No one was seii-
ously injured. But for the fact that the
Washington and Jacksonville Express
lost 20 minutes at Greensboro that train
would goDeinto trap. The lock on the
switch at WMd's siding was broken and
the switch thrown wide open. Then the
red signal. which was exposed by The
turning OF the switch, was twisted to
show the white CT clear-track signal.
