and Chauvcnet took instant advantage
OF his change of humor.

my faith in the wrong quarter, mon

fairly clever men; together we could

"As you will! dare say you would

watch. Forwardp'
Armitage pointed down the road
with his riding crop. AS Chauvenet
walked slowly away, swinging his
stick, Armitage turned toward the no
tel. The shadow Of night was Unfold
ing the hills, and it was quite dark
when he found Oscar and the horses.
He mounted, and they rode through
the deepening April dusk, up the wind
ing trail that led out Of Storm valley.

back to the Claiborne gate. Chauvenet
was dressed with his usual care and
wore the latest carnation in the lapel
of his top coat. He struck the ground
with his stick. his look of establishment
passed. and he smiled pleasantly as he
returned Armitage's salutation.
my dear Armitagev he murmured.
~ didn't go to Mexico, after all. my
good Chauvenet. The place is full Of
fevers.. 1 couldn't take the risk"
"He is indeed q wise man who safe
guards his health" replied the other.
"You are quite right. And when one
has had many narrow escapes one
may be excused for exercising rather
particular care. Do you not find it
so?" Knocked Armitage.
"My dear fellow, my life is one long
fight against ennui. Danger, excite
ment, the hazard of my precious life
such pleasures of late have been de-
MED me-"
"But you are young and of intrepid
spirit, monsieur. 1t would be quite
surprising If some perilous adventure
did not overtake you before the silver
gets in your hair"
"Ah! l assure you the speculation
interests me, but must trouble you to
let me pass" continued Chauvenet in
the same tone. II shall quite forget
that l set out to make call IL linger
longer in your charming society"
"But I must ask you to delay your
call for the present. shall greatly
value your company down the road a
little way. 1t is trifling favor, and
you are a man Of delightful courtesy"
Chauvenet twisted his mustache re-
fectively. His mind had been busy
seeking means Of turning the meeting
to his own advantage. He had met
Armitage at quite the least imaginab BILE
spot in the world for an encounter be-
tween them, and he was not man
who enjoyed surprises. He had taken
care that the exposure of Armitage at
Washington should be telegraphed to
every part Of the country and put upon
the cables. He had expected Armi-
tage to leave Washington, but he had
no idea that he would turn up at q
fashionable resort greatly affected by
Westinghouse and only a compare
lively short distance from the capital.
He was at great disadvantage in not
knowing Arnitage's plans and strate-
gy. His own mind was curiously cum
ming, and his reasoning powers travers-
ed oblique lines. He was thus prone
to impute similar mental processes to
other people. Simplicity and directness
he did not understand at all. He had
moderated Armitage's courage and
daring; he wished to make no further
mistakes. and he walked back toward
the hotel with apparent good grace.
Armitage spoke now in very different
key. and the change displeased Chau-
venet. for he much affected ironical
raillery, and his companions sterner
tones disconnected him.

a solemn warning. NJ. Jules Chauvenet,
alias Rambaud. and thereby render
you a greater service than you know.
You have undertaken a deep and dan
gerous game. It Is spectacular, 1t Is
picturesque, II Is immense! 1t IL so
stupendous that the taking Of few
lives seems trifling in comparison with
the end to be obtained. Now look about
you for moment. NJ. Jules Chauveneti

earth, moist from the days light show

growing, sweet in his nostrils. He
walked to the far end of the pergola,

himself up to reverie. He had been de-

Claiborne soil, and the situation re-
quired thought.

He looked down in a moment upon
pretty estate, distinguished by its
formal garden, but with the broad
acres of a practical farm stretch
ing far out into the valley. The lawn
terraces were green, broken only by
plots Of spring flowers. The walks
were walled in box and privet. The
house, Of the pillared colonial type,
crowned series Of terraces. A long
pergola, with pillars topped by red
urns, curved gradually through the
garden toward the mansion. Armitage
followed a side road along the brick
partition wall and contemplated the
inner landscape. The sharp snap Of a

the only sound that reached him. 1t

TAFT COMES FROM GOOD STOCK.
liFamily Ranked Among the Plain
People for Many Years.

The Tsfts-those who at present are
the Tafts-hail ancestrally from Tx
bridge, Mass. They say that Tafts are
SO thick in Uxbridge that even wom-
an can't throw stone without hitting
one.
Some years ago-in 1874, to be exact
there was a Taft reunion in Tx
bridge, to which descendants Of the
original Robert Taft came flocking
from all parts of the country. One of
the conspicuous features of the affair
was a historical address by Alphonso
Taft, father of the present Republican
candidate. He traced the history Of
various branches Of the family, and
when he came to the one to which he
and his children belonged he said:
"Our family have not embarked much
upon national politics, except that they
have shared in the battles Of the coun-
try when national independence was
to be won, and also when the Union
was at stake. But brilliant political
careers have not been characteristic Of
the Tafts in the past. 1t Is not safe to
say what may be in store for them.
There is a tide in the affairs of men
and also Of families"
This Is taken from the account Of
the reunion published at the time. Al
phonso Taft would perhaps have been
somewhat dazzled II he could have fore
seen how quickly and brilliantly the
family would proceed to embark upon
national politics." He himself started
the turn of the tide which he predict
ed. 1t seems to be reaching its food
in the career of the son who that year
was entering Yale.
As Alphonso Taft described his i'm
mediate ancestors one sees where his
son got certain characteristics. Peter
Taft (1715) was "a large, cookbook
ing man of magnanimous disposition"
He had four SOILS.
Aaron, the candidates ancestor, was
also so magnanimous that ne lost
money by indorsing friends notes;
he was a man "of great intelligence
and integrity" And then, going some
what further back, there was Captain
William Taft, who took Blarney Cas-
tie in the sixteenth century "by BLAIR
ney quite as much as by military
prowess." Good stock was Captain
William from which to make twen-
tieth century Secretary of War Will
liam.

he concluded mournfully.
He bowed low, restored the shabby
hat to his head with the least bit Of a
flourish and strolled away through the
garden by broad walk that led to the
front gate.
He would have been interested to
know that when he was out Of sight
Shirley walked to the veranda rail and
bent forward, listening to his steps on
the gravel, after the hedge and shrub
berry had hidden him. And she stood
thus until the faint click Of the gate
told her that he had gone.
She did not know that as the gate
closed upon him he met Chauvenet
face to face.

He lost the profile and gained her

head was lifted little high In resent
ment against her own yielding curiosi-
