away; and she had the courage to
carry out the threat.
Resolutely Mrs. Chedsoye rang for
her maid Celeste. Thoughts like these
only served to disturb the marble
smoothness Of her forehead.
The two began to pack. That is to
say, Celeste began; Mrs. Chedsoye
generally took charge of these maneu-
vers from the heights, as became the
officer in command. Bending was
likely to enlarge the vein in the neck;
and all those beautiful gowns would
not be worth soldi without the added
perfection Of her lineless throat and

CHAPTER XVII.
Mrs. chedsoye Has Doubts.

Mre, Cheo8oyo Has Doubts.
Mrs. Chedsoye retired to her room
early that memorable December night.
Her brother could await the return
Of Horace. She hadn't the least doubt
as to the result; green young man
pitted against seasoned veterans du-
plicity. She wished Jones no harm
physically; in fact, she had put down
the law against 1t. Still. much de-
pended upon chance. But for all her
confidence Of the outcome. quality Of
restlessness pervaded her. She tried
to analyze it, Intellectually at first.
Perhaps she did not look deep enough;
perhaps she did not care thoroughly
to examine the source of 1t. Insistent-
ly, however, 1t required; and by re.
peated assaults it at length conquered
her. It was the child.
Did she possess. after all, latent
sense Of motherhood, and was It stir
ring to establish itself? She really
did not know. Was 1t not fear and
doubt rather than motherly instinct?
She paused in front of the mirror, but
the glass solved only externals. She
could not see her soul there in the
reflection; she saw only the abundant
gifts Of nature, splendid, double-hand-
ed, prodlgal. And in contemplating
that reflection, she forgot for a space
what she was seeking. But that child!
From whom did she inherit her pe-
culiar ideas Of life? From some Puri-
tan ancestor Of her fathers; certainly
not from her side. She had never
bothered her head about Fortune, save
to house and clothe her. till the past
!orty-eight hours. And now it was too
late to pick up the thread she had
cast aside as not worth considering.
To no one is given perfect wisdom;
and she recognized the flaw in hers
that had led her to ignore the mental
attitude Of the girl. She had not even
made friend of her; mistake, bit
Of stupidity absolutely foreign to her
usual keenness. The child lacked
little of being beautiful, and in three
OF four years she would be. Mrs. Ched.
soye was without jealousy; she ac-
cepted beauty in all things unreserv-
eddy. Possessing as she did an incom-
parable beauty of her own, she could
we'll afford to be generous. Perhaps
the true cause Of this disturbance lay
In the knowledge that there was one
thing her daughter had inherited from
her directly, almost identically; in
deed, of this pattern the younger pos
sessed the wider margin of the two:
courage. Mrs. Chedsoye was afraid Of
nothing except wrinkles, and Fortune
was too young to know this fear. So
then, the mother slowly began to com.
prehend the spirit which had given
life to this singular perturbation. For.
tune had declared that she would run

would she do? She was without money

anne had forced upon her that day
in the bazaars. She heard the men
talking and laughing. but without
sensing. No, she could not accept
charity. She must fight out her battle
all alone. The child Of thief:
for never would her clear mind accept
smuggling as other than thieving.
Neither could she accept pity;
and she stole glance at George, as

half closed in ecstasy. How little II

Shortly Flanagan returned. He had

thick bag of tobacco. George and
Ryanne lighted up, about as near con.
tentment as two men in their condi.
ton could possibly be.
Said Flanagan to Fortune: "Do you

Fortune looked Mortified. 49,
"Oh, I mean gum!" roared Flanagan.
No, Fortune did not possess that du.

pitiable condition, heart and body
weary, in rage and tatters. George,
now that the haven was assured,
dropped his forced buoyancy, his pratt
tie, his jests. He had done all NOR
tai man could to keep up the spirits
Of his co.unfortunates; and he saw
that, most Of the time. he had wasted
his talents. Ryanne. sullen and mo-
rose, often told him to "shut up"

tune viewed his attempts without
sensing them and frequently looked at
him without seeing him. Now, all this
