CHAPTER III.
An EXPLANATION Demanded.

Hazel's pride came to her rescue be-
for she was halfway home. Instinc-
lively she had turned to that refuge,
where she could lock herself in her
own room and cry her protest against
Ii all. But she had done no wrong,
nothing of which to be ashamed, and
when the first shock of the news ar
ticle wore off, she threw up her head
and refused to consider what the world
at large might think. So she went
back to the office at one O'Clock and
took up her work. Long before eve-
ming she. sensed that others had read
the Gazette. Not that anyone men,
toned ii, but sundry curious glances
made her painfully aware of the fact.
She had just reached the first land
ing of her boarding house when she
heard the telephone bell, and second
or two later the landlady called.
"Oh, Miss WeirI Telephone"
Barrow's voice hailed her over the
line.
"Ill be out by seven," said he. "We
had better take walk. We can't talk
in the parlor; therell probably be a
lot of old Tables there out of sheer
curiosity"
Gan right" Hazel agreed, and hung
up.
She dressed herself. Unconsciously
the truly feminine asserted its domi-
nance-the woman anxious to please
and propitiate her lover. She put on
dainty summer dress, rearranged her
hair, powdered away all trace of the
tears that insisted on coming as soon
as she reaJ he'd the sanctuary of her
own room. And then she watched for
Jack from a window that commanded
the street.
Barrow appeared at last. She went
down to meet him before he rang the
bell Just behind him came a tall
man In a gray suit. This individual
turned in at the gate, bestowing a nod
upon Barrow and q keen glance at her
as he passed.
THAT'S Grinell, from the Times"
Barrow muttered sourly. "Come on;
let's get away from here. l suppose
he's after you for an interview"
Hazel turned I'm beside him silently.
Right at the start she found herself
resenting Barrow's tone, his manner.
She had done nothing to warrant sus-
picion from him. But she loved him,
and she hoped she could convince him
that II was no more than a passing I'M
pleasantness. for which she was no
wise to blame.
"Hang ltp Barrow growled, before
they had traversed the first block.
'Here comes Grinelli ! suppose that
old cat of a landlady pointed us out.
No lodging him now"
There's no earthly reason why i
should dodge him, as you put t." Ha-
eel replied stifiy. SIN not an escaped
criminal"

CHAPTER II.
al Do G!ls and 6equeath."

When Jack Barrow called again,
which happened to be that very eve
ming, Hazel told him simply that she
had left Harrington & Bush, without
entering into any explanation except
the general one that she had found II
impossible to get on with Mr.. Bush in
her new position. And Jack, being
more concerned with her than with her
work, gave the matter scant considera-
ton.
This was on q Friday. The next
forenoon Hazel went downtown. When
she returned, little before eleven, the
maid of all work was putting the last
touches to her room. The girl pointed
to an oblong package on a chair.
"That came for you q little while
aso, Miss Weir" she said. "Mr. Bush's
carriage brought It,"
~Mr. Bushs carriage !" Hazel echoed.
"Yes'm. Regular swell turnout, with
a footman In brown livery. My, you
could see the girls peeking all along
the square when 1t stopped at our
door. 1t quite fustered the missus."
IhG Elll a SCCODAI,
writ large on her countenance. Plainly
she wished to discover what Miss Ha-
eel Weir would be getting in package
that was delivered In so aristocratic
q manner. But Hazel was in no mood
to crafty anyone's curiosity. She was
angry at the presumption of Mr.. An
drew Bush. 1t was an excellent way
of subjectlng her to remark.
She drew off her gloves, and, laying
aside her hat, picked up a newspaper,
and began to read. The girl, with no
excuse for lingering, reluctantly gath
cred up her broom and dustpan, and
departed. When she was gone. and
not till then, Miss Weir investigated
the parcel.
Roses-two dozen long-stemmed La
Erances-filled the room with their
delicate odor when she removed the
pasteboard cover. And set edgewise
among the stems she found his card.
Miss Weir turned up her small nose.
81 wonder If he sends these as a
sort of peace offering?" she snorted.
81 wonder If q few hours of reflection
has made him realize just how exceed
Ingly caddish he acted? Well, Mr..
Bush, I'll return your unwelcome gift
though they are beautiful flowers"
And she did forthwith, squandering
40 cents on messenger boy to deliver
them to Mr.. Bush at his office. She
wished him to labor under no misap-
prehenslon as to her attitude.
The next day-Sunday--she spent
with Jack Barrow on a visit to his
cousin in a nearby town. They parted,
as was their custom, at the door. II
was still early in the evening-eight-
thirty, or thereabouts-and Hazel went
into the parior on the first ricvr. Mrs.
Stout and one of her boarders sat
here chatting, and at Hazel's entrance

Courage is a matter of the blood.
Without good red blood a man has
weak heart and poor nerves.
In the spring is the best time to
take stock of ones condition. If the
blood is thin and watery, face pale or
pimply, generally weak, tired and list
less, one should take a spring tonic.

"Evenin', Miss Weir. Ave you 'eard

Mrs. Stout was very English.
"Mr. Bush? No. What about him?"
=" Il was 'urt shockin' bad this awft'-
noon," Mrs. Stout related. "Out 'orse-
back ridin', and is 'orse ran away
with i'm, and fell on i'm. Fell all of a

is backs broke, they say. Wat a
pity! Shockin' accident, indeed"
Miss Weir voiced perfunctory SYM
pathy, as was expected of her, seeing
that she was an employee of the firm
or had been lately. But close upon
that she escaped to her own room.
She did not relish sitting there dis
cussing Mr.. Andrew Bush.
Nevertheless she kept thinking of
him long after she went to bed. She
was not at all vindictive, and his mis-
fortune, the fact-if the report were
true-that Re was facing his end,
stirred her pity.
The report of his injury was verified
In the morning papers. BY evening II
had pretty well passed out of Hazel's
mind. She had more pleasant con-
Germs. Jack Barrow dropped in about
siG-thirty TO ask If she wanted to go
with him to concert during the week.
They were sitting in the parlor, by
front window, chattering to each
other, but not so engrossed that they
failed to notice q carriage drawn by
two splendid grays pull up at the front
gate. The foOtman, in brown livery
got down and came to the door. Hazel
knew the carriage. She had seen Mr..
Andrew Bush abroad in 1t many a
time. She wondered If there was some
further annoyance in store for her, and
frowned at the prospect.
She heard Mrs. Stout answer the
bell in person. There was low
humble of voices. Then the landlady
appeared in the parlor doorway, the
footman behind her.
''This is the lady," Mrs. Stout in
dictated Hazel. "a message for you,
Miss Weir"
The liveried person bowed and ex-
tended an envelope. 81 was instructed
to deliver this to you personally" he
said, and fingered as If he looked for
further instructions.
Hazel looked at the envelope. She
could not understand why, under the
circumstances, any message should
come to her through such a medium.
But there was her name inscribed. She
glanced up. Mrs. Stout gazed past the
footman with an air of frank anticipa-
ton. Jack also was looking. But the
landlady caught Hazers glance and
backed out the door, and Hazel opened
the letter.
The note was brief and to the point |:
Miss Weir: Mr.. Bush, being seriously
injured and unable to write, bids me say
that he is very anxious to see you. He
sends his carriage to convey you here. His
physicians fear that he will not survive
the night, hence he begs Of you to come.
Very truly,

"The ideal OF course l WON'T /

exclaimed.
"Just a second" she said to the foot
man.

sheets of paper and envelopes. She

till the knuckles stood white under
the smooth skin, and then quite alb
ruptly she got up and left the restau-
rant even while a waiter hurried to
take her order. If she had been a

could have cursed Andrew Bush till

INFO IRISH Posi-
Field Marshal French Made
VicerOy of Ireland.
A Measure To Placate Irish, bnt
1t May Fail. s s..'''

London, May 6.-The appointment
of Field Marshal Viscoant French as
viceroy of Ireland came somewhat as
a surprise. 1t was known that the
government was experiencing consid-
cradle difficulty in finding a successor
to Baron Wimbourne and that this
was the reason for the delay an an
nouncing officially the appointment of
Edward Short as chief secretary,
which was known unofficially many
days ago.
No one, however. anticipated such a
purely military appointment as the
celebrated field marshal. His name
certainly has been mentioned but only
in connection with a scheme for plac-
ing the lord-lieutenantship in a COM
mission as a way out of the difficulty
and even in that case of the name Of
General Mapon was generally favored
as likely member of the triumvirate.
Is of Irish Blood.
Viscount French is of Irish eXtrac-
ton. He has a seat in Ireland, is COL
onel of Irish regiments and a popular
figure in the country, but this is hard
ly likely to reconcile the Irish people
to his appointment, for they will see
in it nothing but a threat to put con-
Scription into effect.
