Rural Retreat times. [volume] (Rural Retreat, Va.) 1892-1918, 1915-07-16

The lull made Jones doubly alert.
He was positive that they we're pre-
pairing to strike again. But from what
direction and in what manner? He
had not met the gift of clairvoyance,
SO he had to wait; and waiting is a
terrible game when perhaps death is
balancing the scales. 1t Is always
easier to make an assault than to
await it; and it is good general who
always finds himself prepared.
But 1t made his heart ache to watch
the child. She went about cheerfully
when any one was in the room with
her. Many time, however, he had
stolen to the door of her bedroom and
heard the heart-rending sobs, vain
attempt being made to stifie them
among the pillows. She was only
eighteen; it was first love; and first
loves are pale, evanescent attach
ments. 1t hurt now; but she would
get over it presently. Youth forgets.
Time, like water, smooths away the
ragged places
The countess called regularly. She
was, of course, dreadfully sorry over
what had happened. She had heard
something about his character; news
paper men weren't always the best
This one was mere fortune hunter;
a two faced one, at that She was
never more surprised in her life when
he threw his arms around her. And
so on, and SO forth, half lies and half
truths, till the patient Jones felt like
wringing her neck.
From his vantage point the butler
smiled ironically. He could read the
heart of this Perigoff woman as he
could read the page of book The
effrontery! And all the while he
must gravely admit her and pretend
when the blood rioted in his veins at
the sight of her. But he dared not
swerve single inch from the plans
laid down. 1t was cup of bitter gall,
and there was no way of avoiding the
putting of it to his lips. She ema-
mated poison as nightshade emanates
1t, the upas tree. And he must bow
when she entered and bow when she
left! Still, she had done him an in
direct favor in breaking up this love
business.
One afternoon Braine summoned his
runabout and called up two physicians
When he was ushered into the desert

He understood that no one is infallible.
He found the laundering policeman,
who now realized that he stood in for
a Whit of the commissioners carpet.
All he could do was to give good de.
scription of the man and woman. Word
was sent broadcast through the city
The police had to be informed this
time.
Late in the day an officer whose beat
included the ferry landing at Hoboken
said he had seen the three. Everything
had looked all right to him. 1t was
the motherly face of the one and the
benign countenance of the other that
had blinded him.
At midnight Jones, haggard and
with the air of one beaten, returned
home
"No wireless yet?" asked Norton.
"The George Washington of the
North German Lloyd does not answer
Something has happened to her wires;
tempered with, possibly"
$50 long as we know they are at sea,

be able to land at a single port have
sent ten cables. They can't get away
from the wire. If could only get hold
of the names of those damnable doc.
tors who signed that document! TWEEN
ty years."
Jones bent his head in his hands,
and Norton tramped the floor till the
sound of his footsteps threatened to
drive the moaning Susan into hys-
terics.
1t is only matter of few days"
But can the child stand the ter
rors?' questioned Jones. "Who knows
that they may not really drive her in
sane?"
On board the George Washington
every one felt extremely sorry for this
beautiful girl. 1t was a frightful mis-
fortune to be so stricken at her age.
"Sho is certainly insane" said one
Of the passengers, who had known
Hargreave slightly through some bank
ing business. "Hargreave wasn't mar
ried. He lived alone"
After the second day out Florence
was permitted to wander about the
ship as she pleased.
A good many of the passengers were
nightly worried when they learned
that the wireless had in some mysteri-
Gus way been tempered with after the
boat had made the open sea. 1t was
impossible to put about. The appara-
tus must be fixed at sea.
And when finally Nortons wireless
caught the wires of the George Wash
ington he was gravely informed that
the young lady referred to had leaped
the rail off the Banks 1t night and had
been drowned She had not been
missed till the following morning.

occurred to the girl that Susan might
