CHAPTER XIV.
Broffin's Equation.

Having Clerk Maurice's telegram to
time the overtaking approach. Broffin
found the Belle Julie backing and fill
ing for her berth at the Vicksburg
landing when, after hasty Vicksburg
breakfast, he had himself driven to
the river front.
Going aboard as soon as the swing
stage was lowered, he found Maurice.
with whom he had something more
than speaking acquaintance just
turning out of his bunk in the texas.
Il took 1t for granted you'd be
along" was Matrices greeting. What
bank robber are we running away
with now?"
Broffin grinned.
I'm still after the one you took on
in the place of John Gavitt."
"Humph!" said the clerk, sleepily;
II thought that one was John Gavitt."
NO; he merely took Gavitt's place
and name. Tell me all you know
about him."
81 don't know anything about him,
except that he was fool enough to pull
Buck McGrath out of the river just
after McGrath had tried to bump him
over the bows"
"Of course. SO far as you know, no
body on the boat suspected that the
fellow who called himself Gavitt was
anything but the 'roustie' he was pass
ing himself off for? You didn't know
of his having any talk with any of the
upper-deck people?"
only once" said the day clerk,
promptly.
when was that?"
1T was one day just after the sne-
overheard incident, little while after
dusk in the evening was up here
in the texas, getting ready to go to
supper. Gavitt-we may as well keep
on calling him that till you've found
another name for him-Gavitt had
been clubbing for the pilot. ! saw him
go across the hurricane-deck guards;
and minute later I,heard him talking
to somebody "a woman-on the
guards below"
you didn't hear what was saidT
Il didn't pay any attention. Pas
sengers, woman passengers. especial.
ly, often do that-pull up 'roustie'
and pry into him to see what sort Of
wheels he has. But ! noticed that
they talked for quite little while;
because. when ! finished dressing and
went below, he was just leaving her."
Broffin rose up from the bunk on
which he had been sitting and laid .
heavy hand on Maurice's shoulder.
"You amt going to tell me that you
didn't find out who the woman was.
Clarence-what?" he said anxiousiy.
That's just what I've got to tell
you, Matt" returned the clerk. reluc-
family. II was due at the second table,
and | didn't go as far forward as the
stanchion she was holding to. All
can tell you is that she was one Of
the half-dozen or SO younger women
we had on board; could guess at
that much"
Brofin's oath was not Of anger; II
was mere upbubbling of disappoint'
ment.

He Earned upon ner squarely.

he turned upon her squarely,
"Where did you ever learn how to
say such things as that?" he de-
manded.
1t was an opening for mockery and
good-natured raillery, but she did not
make use Of it. Instead, she let him
look as deeply as he pleased into the
velvety eyes when she said: 1T is
given to some of us to see and to
understand where others have to learn
slowly, letter by letter. Surely, your
own gift has told you that, Mr.. Girls.

eyes.
She laughed softly. You'll be dis

others would certainly preclude it
How can you be an author and not un
derstand that?"
Il am not an author, am sorry to

"Bravo!" she applauded, clappine
her hands in a little burst of enthu
siasm which, If it were not real, was
at least an excellent stimulation. IN
Is only the weak ones who say, 4
hope For the truly strong hearts
there is only one battle cry, I will!
When you get blue and discouraged
you must come to me and let me
cheer you. Cheering people is my
mission. If have any"
Griswold's pale face flushed and the
blood sang liltingly in his veins. He
wondered If she had been tempted to
read the manuscript of the book while
he was fighting his way back to con
sciousness and life. II they had been
alone together, he would have asked
her. The bare possibility set all the
springs of the authors vanity upbub
bling within him. There and then he
promised himself that she should hear
the rewriting of the book, chapter by
chapter. But what he said was out
of deeper and worthier underthought
you have many missions, Miss
Margew; some of them you choose,
and some are chosen for YOU"
NO" she denied; nobody has ever
chosen for me-"
THAT may be true, without making
| me false prophet. Sometimes when
we think we are choosing for our
selves, chance chooses for us; oftener
than not, ] believe"
She turned on him quickly, and for
single swiftly passing instant the
velvety eyes were deep wells Of sober
ness with an indefinable underdepth
of sorrow in them. Griswold had a
sudden conviction that for the first
time in his knowing of her he was

she said gravely.
