1.-THE SMUGGLER"
BY Ella Middleton TybOut.

absolutely similar in every detail
After the departure of 0ctavia
and her grandfather there was
solemn conversation In the library
between Auntie George and the
Duchess Of Linsmere.
The two ladies had been sitting
a half-hour or more in subdued
but excited communion when a
sound In the ball brought silence.
Out into the hall fastened the
two ladies'. They saw the Earl of
Drumworth, supported by another
man, entering slowly from the
terrace. Upon this man he was
leaning heavily, with half-closed
eyes. Into the library they led
him, and placed him in his own
arm chair. Then, slowly, he
raised his head until 1t rested
against the high back of the
chair.
The old earl's eyes. with re-
turning senses, moved drowsily
over the group about him until
they rested on Ethan's face.
This hostile glance, overflow
ing with hate and vindictive prom
ise, was followed by rapid motions
of his fingers.
What does he say?" Ethan
asked.
HE tells you, sir, that the son
of such a mother has no place in
this house." said Auntie George.
my mother?"
"You certainly can comprehend
why any reminder of your mother
In this family is-offensive."
"Offensive!"
do you wish us to believe
that you know nothing of your
own mother?"
ION the contrary, I know much
about my own mother. know
there is no better woman inc the
world"
At these words Auntie George
actually quivered with anger. "In-
deed! Then 1t Is your opinion that
wives who desert their lawful
husbands to run away with their
lovers are the best of women"
These words awakened a MEM
Iory in Ethan. After his fathers
death he had found, among some
business papers. letter from
Bridgewater, Eng. The writer
had alluded to some man-the
name not given-from whom his
mother had fled because of a bru-
tai act.
Although Auntie Georges man
ner was even more singing than
her words Ethan answered calmly:
Your opinion of my mother
was neither asked nor desired. I
happen to know that she escaped
from a murderous brute. obtained
a divorce in America and married
good man."
"A murderous brute!" repeated
Auntie George.
The Earl of Drumworth brought
down fist upon the table. But
Ethan observed him not. His eyes
were on Auntie George as he in

Iwad one"
In solemn undertones they dis.
cussed the marvel.
The explanation that seemed to
them the least improbably was
that some lasting impression On a
parents brain-of one or both
might have descended to the son ;
but In this, emergency, although
unimportant, he had obeyed an
impulse of HIS subconscious mind.
All aglow with sunshine was
the Old Hall; and Ethan, with
Octavia, stood for a moment
blinking at the light.
A sudden thought seized 0c-
tavia.

Ethan walked over to the
statue, put his hand In the mar
BILE casket and drew forth coin.
He studied 1t, then looked up in
surprise.

She nodded. "And once again /

The two lovers stood smiling in
to each others faces, like happy
children. Through the stained
glass of the great window the
sunlight lay gently upon them, as
In friendly approval.

The words were few; but the
manner of their utterance, vi

was more insulting, far. than vol

The earl's fingers moved.

house and never enter II again."
said Auntie George.
Ethan was about to depart
when Auntie George spoke again.
Kindly wait . moment, sir.
There Is a gentleman in the hall
who desires a word with you"
This lady's expectant ears had
been the first to hear an ap-
|proaching motor and the closing
of an outer door. Her words were
followed by a silence.
When Lord Aylesden stepped
into the room, he found himself
the center of a surprising group.
whats the matter?" he in
quired. rs there a death in the
family?"
His father at this point raped
sharply on the table for attention,
then pointed a quivering finger at
Ethan Lovejoy. For Ethan, in
stepping backward from the door
way, was now standing almost
behind the new arrival.
When the avenging parent turn
ed and saw the man behind him,
his face lit up with the smile that
often redeemed a rather cold and
unresponsive face. And he ex-
tended hand in friendly greet
ing toward the astonished sutton.
"Mr. Lovejoy! Pardon, me. II
did not see you. So you and Oc-
tavia have been stealing, a march

The Earl of Drumworth, to
draw his sons attention, brought
down upon the table at sfifs side,
and with all his energy,~a heavy

YES" and Octavia was startled
by her own courage-'the son of

Then occurred a thing SO un-
expected, SO miraculous, SO be-
yond belief. that the three women
opened wide their eyes in wonder.
From those over-silent lips,
through which no sound had is
sued in many years, came a voice.
1t was an unnatural sound, an un-
known voice; a voice completely
forgotten by the speaker. and by
his hearers. Although prolonged,
as II words were in his brain, no
definite word was uttered. 1t
was the outburst of an ungovern-
ed rage that broke its barriers.
Baseborn trotted over to Oc-
tavia's side.
And toward Octavia the earl
advanced, and in his face there
was look these women had seen
before. 1t brought Auntie George
to her feet. and she stepped In
front of him with outstretched,
protesting hands. He stopped.
Again his jaw moved-or rather
twitched - as II striving for
speech.
