CHAPTER XVII.
Once More at Burton's Inn.


Again Sara Wrandall found herself
in that ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS room at
Burton's inn. On that grim night In
March she had entered without fear
or trembling because she knew what
was there. Now she quaked with a
mighty chill of terror, for she knew
not what was there in the quiet, now
sequestered room. Burton had told
them on their arrival after a long
drive across country that patrons of
the inn invariably asked which room
it was that had been the scene Of
the tragedy, and, on finding out, re-
fused point-blank to occupy it. In
consequence he had been obliged to
transform it into sort of store and
baggage room.
Sara stood in the middle of the
murky room, for the shutters had long
been closed to the light of day, and
looked about her in awe at the hetero.
geneous mass of boxes, trunks, bun
dies and rubbish, scattered over the
floor without care or system. She had
closed the door behind her and was
quite alone. Light sneaked in through
the cracks in the shutters, but so
meagerly that it only served to in
crease the gloom. A dismantled bed
stead stood heaped up in the corner.
| She did not have to be told what bed
it was. The mattress was there too,
rolled up and tied with thick garden
rope. She knew there were dull, ugly
blood stains upon it. Why the thrifty
Burton had persevered in keeping
this useless article of furniture, she
could only surprise. Perhaps it was

to be her wedding night. She found
no minister here. The man laughed at
her and scoffed. Then she knew. In
horror, shame, desperation she tried
to break away from him. He was
strong. She was a good woman; q
virtuous, honorable woman. She saved
herself"
He was staring at her with dilated
eyes. Slowly the truth was being
borne in upon him.

She came close to him and spoke
in half-whisper. Nov you know the

He opened his lips to speak, but no
words came forth. Paralysis seemed
to have gripped nbt only his throat
but his senses. He reeled. She
grasped his arm In a tense, fierce way,
and whispered:
BE CAREFUL No one must hear
what we are saying" She shot a
glance down the deserted hall. mo

Humility,

We tell this story because 1t seems
to us beautiful story that ought to be-
told 1t concerns General Bell and the
opening of the gigantic amphitheater
in Manila that follows the lines of the
land. The general was much praised
for having built this imposing and
enormous structure. He pointed to the
savage Igorrotes that were standing
about, trying to understand what was
going on. Il did not busId It," he said.
God Almighty built it, but If you want
to take building in different sense,
to consider what we did, using the
great plans of nature, those poor fell

Challis wrandan is found murdered IN
a road house near New York. Mrs. Wran-
dali is summoned from the city and iden-
titles the body. A young woman who ac-
companied Wrandall to the inn and sub
seQuently disappeared, is suspected.
Mrs. Wrandall starts back for New York
IN an auto during binding snow storm
On the way she meets young woman In
the road who proves to be the woman
who killed Wrandall. Feeling that the
girl had done her a service In RIDING her
OF the man who though she ioveo MIN
deeply, had caused her great sorrow,
Mrs. Wrandall determines to shield her
and takes her to her own home. Mrs.
Wrandal hears the story OF Hetty Cas-
tleton's life except that portion that re-
lates to Wrandall. This and the, story OF
the tragedy she forbids the girl ever TO
tell. She offers Hetty home, trlendsnp
and security from peril on account OF the
tragedy. Sara Wrandall and Hetty re-
turn to New York after an absence or
year in Europe. Leslie WrandaH, brother
OF Challis, becomes greatly interested IN
Hetty. Sara sees in Leslie's infatuauon
feasibility for revenge on the Wrandalls
and reparation for the wrongs she SUI
fered at the hands Of Challis WrandalI by
marrying his murderess into the FANNY
Leslie. N company with his friend Bran
don Booth an artist visits Sara at her
country place. Leslie confesses TO sara

through a portfolio Of pictures by an un..
known English artist he finds one or
Hetty. He speaks to her about 1t. Hetty
declares it must be a picture OF Hetty
Glynn, an English actress, who resembles
her very much. Much to his chagrln
Leslie Is refused by Hetty. Booth ana
Hetty confess their love for each other
but the latter declares that she can never
marry as there is an insurmountable bar
rier in the way. Hetty admits to Sara
that she loves Booth. Sara declares that
Hetty must marry Leslie, who must be
made to pay his brothers debt to the
girl Hetty again attempts TO tell the
real story Of the tragedy and Sara threat
ems to strange her II she says a word
Sara insults Hetty by revealing that all
this time she has believed Hetty to nave

dali. Later she realizes that Hetty is IN
nocent Leslie again proposes to Eetty
and is rejected. Hettv prepares to leave
Sara, declaring that after what has nap
pened she can remain no longer. Hetty
starts for Europe. At sea she receives
message from Booth that he has started
on faster steamer and will be waiting
for her on the other side Booth meets
her and accompanies her to London. In
an attempt to escape from him Hetty
starts for Paris, but finds Booth on the

At any rate, Sara was not asked,
which Is proof enough that she was
bent on making it family affair.
After dinner, Booth sat in the
screened upper balcony with Vivian.
He liked her. She was keen-witted,
plain-spoken young woman, with few
false ideals and no subtlety. She was
less snobbish than arrogant. OF all
the Wrandalls, she was the least self
conferred Leslie never quite under

CHAPTER XVI.-Continued.


The weeks slipped by. He was with
her almost daily. Other people came
to her house, some for rather protract-
ed visits, others in quest of pillage at
the nightly bridge table, but he was
seldom missing. There were times
when he thought he detected ten
dency to waver, but each cunning at
tempt on his part to encourage the
impulse invariably brought certain
knocking light into her eyes and he
veered of in defeat. Something kept
telling him, however, that the hour
was bound to come when she would
falter in her resolution; when frank
ness would meet frankness, and the
The veil be lifted.
There were no letters from Hetty,
no word of any description. If Sara
knew anything of the girls movements
che did not take Booth into her conf
dence.
Leslie Wrandall went abroad in Au-
gust, ostensibly to attend the aviation
meets in France and England. His
mother and sister sailed in September,
but not before the entire colony of
which they were a part had begun to
discuss Sara and Booth with relish
that was obviously distaeteful to the
Wrandalls. r.

said all the gossips, and forthwith pro-
needed to carry faggots.
A week or so before sailing, Mrs.
Redmond Wrandall had Booth in for

"Indeed?"

"Oh, you are away off in your con-

rejoinder.
Her father appeared on the lawn
below and called up to them.
"You are wanted at the telephone,
Brandon. I've just been talking to
Sara"
Did she call you up, father?" asked
Vivian, leaning over the rail.
Eyes. About nothing In particular,
however"
She turned upon Booth with a mock
ing smile. He felt the color rush to
his face, and was angry with himself.
He went to the telephone. Almost
her first words were these:
What has Vivian been telling you
about me, Brandon?"
He actually gasped. Good heavens,
| Sara!"
He heard her low laugh. so she
has been saying things, has she?" she
asked. Il thought SO. I've had it
in my bones tonight"
He was at loss for words. 1t was
| positively uncanny. AS he stood there
trying to think of a trivial remark, her
laugh came to him again over the wire,
followed by drawing good night"
and then the soughing of the wind
over the open" wire.
The next day he called her up on
the telephone quite early. He knew
her habits. She would be abroad in
her gardens by eight o'clock. He re-
membered well that Leslie, in COM
menting on her absurdly early hours,
had once said that her "early bird"
Sebastian.
What put 1t into your head, Sara,
that Vivian was saying anything I'M
pleasant about you last night?"
Magic" she replied succinctly.

Prepared though ne was, he blinked
his eyes and said something she didn't
quite catch.

to my attainments in the black art

laugh.

81 say, Sara, what does all this
mean? YOU"
And if you should follow me
there, Vivian's estimate of US will not
be so far out of the way as we'd
like to make it,"
True to her word, she was gone
when he drove over later on in the
day. Somehow, he experienced a
queer feeling of relief. Not that he
was oppressed by the rather vivacious
opinions of Vivian and her ilk, but
because something told him that Sara
was wavering in her determination to
withhold the secret from him and fed
for perfectly obvious reasons.
He had two commissions among the
rich summer colonists. One, a full
length portrait of young Beardsley in
shooting toys, was nearly finished. The
other was to be half-length of Mrs.
Ravenscroft, who wanted one just like
Hetty Castleton's, except for the eyes,
which she admitted would have to be
different Nothing was said of the
| seventeen years difference in their
ages. Vivian had put off posing until
Lent.
The Wrandalls departed for Scot
land, and other friends of his began
to desert the country for the city. The
fortnight passed and another week
besides. Mrs. Ravenscroft decided to
go to Europe when the picture was
half-fnished.
You can finish 1t when come back
in December, Mr.. Booth" she said.
"I'll have several new gowns to choose
from, too"

How annoying" she said calmly,
and that was the end of it ALL She
had made the unpleasant discovery
that it wasn't going to be in the least
like Hetty Castleton's, SO why bother
about It?
Booth waited until Sara came out
to superintend the closing of her house
for the winter. He called at South.

was struck at once by the curious
change in her appearance and manner

on.

held as an inducement 10 the morDldly
curious who always seek out the grue-
some and gloat even as they shudder.
For a long time she stood immov-
able just inside the door, recalling
the horrid picture of another day. She
tried to imagine the scene that had
been enacted there with gentle, low
able Hetty Glynn and her whilom
husband as the principal characters.
The girl had told the whole story of
that ugly night. Sara tried to see 1t
as it actually had transpired. For
months this present enterprise had
been in her mind: the desire to zee
the place again, to go there with old
impressions which she could leave be-
hind when ready to emerge in new
frame of mind. 1t was true that she
meant to shake off the shackles of
horrid dream, to purge herself of the
last vestige of bitterness, to cleanse
her mind of certain thoughts and men,
cries.
Downstairs Booth waited for her.
He heard the story of the tragedy from
the innkeeper, who GROSSLY maintained
that his business had been ruined.
Booth was vaguely impressed, he knew
not why, by Buttons description of
the missing woman. I'D say she was
about the size of Mrs. Wrandall her
self, and much the same figger," he
said, as he had said thousand times
before. my wife noticed it the min
ute she saw Mrs. Wrandall Same

A bell rang sharply and Burton
glanced over his shoulder at the indi-
Gator on the wall behind the desk He
gave great start and his jaw sagged.
Great Scott" he gasped. A curl
Gus grayness stole over his face. ITS
its the bell in that very room. My
soul, what can"
Mrs. Wrandall is up there, isn't
she?" demanded Booth.

pushed the button for Oh, gee!

what a scare it gave me-" He wiped
his brow. Turning to boy, he COM
manded him to answer the bell The
boy went slowly, and as he went he
removed his hands from his pockets.
He came back an instant later, more
swiftly than he went, with the word
that "the lady up there" wanted Mr..
Booth to come upstairs.
She was waiting for him in the open
doorway. A shaft of bright sunlight
from a window at the end Of the hall
fell upon her. Her face was colorless
haggard. He paused for an instant to
contrast her as she stood there in the
pitiless light with the vivid creature
he had put upon canvas so recently.
She beckoned to him and turned
back into the room. He followed.
This is the room, Brandon, where
my husband met the death he de
served" she said quietly.

RECENT LEGISLATURES
WAS FAIRLY GOOD ONE

The Elizabethtown News says:
We believe that the press of the
State Is unfair to the Legislature. II
was not altogether bad. In fact IL
passed some excellent measures. The
bill against carrying concealed dead
~ weapons which disfranchises for
two years and convicts as a felony
for the second ofense. will go long
way toward putting stop to a Gus
tom which has cost many lives. The
anti-cigarette law is protection to
boys and is in line with acts in
many of the other States. The two
and a half cent railroad fare bill
was a most excellent law, as was the
measure providing State aid to
roads. The bill looking toward
stamping out adult illiteracy GER
tainly commends itself TO all ed
uoated people. There were several
other good educational laws adopt
ed. The Glenn-Green insurance
law will in the end turn out to be
splendid law which will materially
reduce insurance premiums. Had
the Legislature but passed a good
revenue and taxation law the body
would have been fairly up to the
average. If not a little over it. The
House butchered this bill and it was
as much the fault of the Governor
and his associates as it was the
House. II should also be remem-
bered that this was also the most
economical Legislature Kentucky
has had in ten years and this is
evidence Of wisdom In the face OF
the conditio nof the State treasury
We want to lay these flowers on the
grave of the late departed.
