Rrownine's Disappointment.

Robert Browning's great hopes for
his son were not fulfilled One of the
poets disappointments was the rejec.
ton of a statue by "Pen" sent to the
academy in the sos.
Though Pen Browning's statue was
rejected. two or three pictures paint
ed in Belgium, clever in a hard, real
istic technique, but very far from
beautiful, were hung at the academy
Browning was sensitively anxious
about the reputation of these works.
On one occasion, when he was show.
ing his sons pictures on a studio Sun.
day, he said to friend who mentally
noted the saying with it's rather
strained modesty: You see, people
expect so much from him because he
had a clever mother" One of the pic
lures, by the way, represented an ex
ceedingly large pig. There was no
kind of impression about 1t. It was a
pig seen through no temperament al
all.

rransmlssIbiIltx of Genius.

The sale of relics of Robert and
Elizabeth Browning by executors of
the estate of their son, the late Robert
Weidemann Barrett Browning, which
began May 1, again calls attention to
the fact that the child of union SO
richly lowered, from the literary
and artistic standpoint, failed to show
traces of the genius of either parent
He was an artist, but did nothing ex-
traordinary. 1t would almost seem
that genius not only has way Of
sometimes consuming its possessor
but also of consuming itself, as fan
as the immediate offspring are
cerned. At any rate, the evidences
to its transmissibility is still lacking
although, of course, there are plenty
of facts to justify belief as to the
transmissibility Of special talents.

there was enough of Eve in Sallie to
know 1t.

Aleck, 1--WE must get telegram off to

the message; and since he had con-

Jeanne D'Arc, he was eager to be off
on his hunt
"Good-by, old man. You go to bed

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Spirit of the Ancient Wood.

ne SPIFIC OF InS AHCiGnI VOOus
Agatha's first thought on awakening
late in the forenoon, was the memory
of Sallie Kingsbury Coaxing her 70
bed and tucking her in, in the purple
light of the early morning. She re-
membered the attention with pleasure
and gratitude, as another blessing
added to the greater one of James
Hambleton's turn toward recovery.
Sallie's act was mute testimony that
Agatha was, in truth, heir to Hercu-
les Thayer's estate, spiritual and mate
rial.
She summoned Lizzie, and while she
was dressing, laid out directions for
the day. During her short stay in
lion, Lizzie had been diligent enough
in gathering items of information, but
nevertheless she had remained oblivi-
Gus of any impending crisis during the
night. Her pompadour was marcelled
as accurately as if she were. expect
ing a morning call from Mr.. Straker
No rustlings of the wings of the
Angel of Death had disturbed her
sleep. In fact. Lizzie would have
winked knowingly if his visit had
been announced to her. Her sophisti-
cation had banished such supersti-
tons. She noticed, however, that
Agatha's candles had burned to their
sockets, and inquired II Miss Red
mond had been wakeful.
"Mr. Hambleton was very ill. Every
body in the house was up till near
morning." replied Agatha rather
tartly.
"Oh, what a pity! Could 1 have
done anything? l never heard a
sound" cried Lizzie effusively.
mo, there was nothing you could
have DONE" said Agatha.
''It's very bad for your voice, Miss
Redmond, staying up all night" went
on Lizzie solicitously. You're quite
pale this morning. And with your
western tour ahead Of you'll"
Agatha let these adjurations go I'M
answered 1t occurred to Lizzie that
possibly she had allied herself with a
mistress who was foolish enough to
ruin her public career by private fol-
lies. such as worrying about sick peo-
pie. heaven, in Lizzie's eyes, was the
glare of publicity; and since she was
unable to shine in 1t herself, she loved
to be attached to somebody who could.
Her fidelity was based on Agatha's
celebrity as a singer She would have
preferred serving an actress who was
all the rage, but considered popular
singer, who paid literally, as the next
best thing.
There was always enough common
sense In Lizzies remarks to make
some impression, even on a person
capable of the folly of mourning at a
death-bed Agatha's spirits, freshened
by hope and the sleep of health, rose
to a buoyancy which was well able to
deal with practical questions. She
quickly formed plan for the day,
though she was wise enough to with
hold the scheme from the maid.
Agatha drank her coffee, ate spar
ingly of Sallie's toast, and, leaving
Lizzie with a piece of sewing to do
went first to James Hamhlston's room

Lights in a country house at night

window that night, and seemed mute

ting some old leather bound volume,
and would have remained for hours
almost as quiet and noiseless as the
ghosts themselves. Now he had stepped
across the threshold and joined them,
and new spirits had come to burn the
light in the old red house.
Agatha, halfdressed, had slept, and
woke feeling that the night must be

house with noise. Her clock indicated

her head, she heard in the hall slow.
steady steps, firm but not heavy, even
as in daytime. Susan Stoddard did
not tiptoe.
Agatha was at the door before she
could knock.
You had better come for a few
minutes" Mrs Stoddard said. The
tones were, in themselves, an adjura-
ton to faith and fortitude.
"Yes, l will come" said Agatha.
They walked together down the dimly
lighted hall, each woman in her own
way proving how strong and efficient
is the discipline of self-control.
In the sick-room a screen shaded
the light from the bed. which had been
pulled out almost into the middle of
the room Near the bed was a table
with bottles, glasses, a covered pitch
er, and on the floor an oxygen tank.
Doctor Thayer's massive figure was in
the shadow close to the bed, and
Aleck Van Camp leaned over the
curved footboard. James lay on his
pillow, ghost of man, still as death
itself AS Agatha grew accustomed to
che light, she saw that his eyes were
closed, the lips under the ragged
beard were drawn and slightly part
sd; his forehead was the pallid fore
head OF death-in-life. Neither the doc
tor nor Aleck moved or turned their
gaze from the bed as Agatha and Mrs
Stoddard entered The air was still,
and the profound silence without was
as a mighty reservoir for the silence
within.
Agatha stood by the footboard be-
side Aleck, while Mrs Stoddard, get

beneath the bedclothes. Aleck Van
