CHAPTER XIII.

It was q room of silence, save for
the kissing Of the green logs that
burned on the open hearth, and for
the slow movements Of Jennings as he
cleared the table. Straight and grim
in his chair, with the newspaper by
his side, Stephen Strangewey sat
smoking stolidly. Opposite to him, al
most as grim, equally silent, sat John.
Things were quiet at Market Ket-
ton today, then, John?" Stephen asked
at last.
"There was nothing doing" was the
brief reply.
That, for the space Of quarter OF
an hour or so, was the sole attempt at
conversation between the two broth
ers. Then Jennings appeared with q
decanter of wine and two glasses
which he reverently filed. Stephen
held his up to the light and looked at
it critically. Johns remained by his
side, unnoticed.
"a glass for yourself, jennings
Stephen ordered.
Il thank We kindly, sir" the old
man replied.
He fetched a glass from the side
board, filled it, and held it respectfully
before him.
Its the old toast" Stephen SAID
glumly. you know i'll"
"Aye, Master Stephen" the servant
assented. We've drunk it together
for many a long year. l give 1t "

They both glanced at John, wh(

years. It lives in my heart, greater
thing than my ambition, a greater
thing than my success, greater thing
than life itself. I love you, John Can't
you feel, don't you know, that moth
ing else in life can matter?"
Not line in his face softened. His
teeth hadscome together. He was like
q man upon the rack.
'Tt is true? 1t is true, then?" he
demanded.
She looked at him without any reply.
The seconds seemed drawn out to an
interminable period. He heard the
rolling of the motorbuses in the street.
Once more the perfume Of the lilac
seemed to choke him. Then she leaned
back and touched the bell.
"The prince spoke the truth" she
said. II think you had better go!"
The St. Charles herald. [volume] (Hahnville, La.) 1873-1993, 1918-01-19

and that if so 1t was his right. LOOK
down the road, John! On that night
l was on my way to the castle; put

world was all different, and l wens
back to London. 1t has been different
ever since, and there has never been
any question Of anything between the
prince and me, because knew that IL
was not love-"
John was shaking In every limb. bis
eyes were filled with fierce question
ing. Stephen sat there, and there was
wonder in his face, too.

in strange tongue. couldn't under

his glass-I can see him now. He
told me, with a smile, that it was the
anniversary Of the day on which you
promised to become his-w
Louise Shrank back.
He told you that"
John was on his feet The fever
was blazing once more.
"He told me that, face to face"
"And you?"
"If we had been alone" John an
swered simply, II should have killed
him. I drove the words down his
throat. threw him back TO the place
he had left, and hurt him rather badly,
I'm afraid. Sophy took me home
somehow. and now I am here"
She leaned a little forward on the
couch. She looked into his face search
ingly, anxiously as If looking for
something she could not find. His lips
were set in hard. cold lines. The
likeness to Stephen had never been
more apparent.
'Listen" she said. "You are Puri-
TAM While I admire the splendid self
restraint evolved from your creed, it is
partly temperamental, isn't it? l was
brought up to see things differently
and I do see them differently. Tell
me- do you love meW
'Love your" he repeated. "You
know it! Could I suffer the tortures
Of the damned if I didn't? Could
come to you with a mans blood upon
my hands If I didn't? If the prince
lives, it is simply the accident of fate
1 tell you that if we had been alone
should have driven the breath out OF
his body. Love you!"
He rose slowly to her feet. She
leaned with her elbow upon the man
telpiece, and her face was hidden fol
moment.
"Let me Think! she said. Il dom
know what to say to you. l dom
know you, John. There isn't anything
left Of the John loved. Let me lool
again."
She swung around.
"You speak Of love-" she went OF
suddenly. "Do you know what it Is
Do you know that love reaches to thu
heavens, and can also touch the meth
ermost depths Of hell? If I throw
myself on your knees before you now

Never a line in his face softened. HI
looked at her a moment as he ha
looked at the woman in Piccadilly, int
whose hand he had dropped gold.
"Are you going to tell me that 1t
