CHAPTER I.

1t was over. The rambling house,
with Its rickety, old-fashioned furni-
ture-and its memories--was now de-
serted. except for Robert Fairchild,
and he was deserted within It. wan
dering from room to room staring at
familiar objects with the unfamiliar
gaze of one whose vision suddenly
has been warped by the visitation Of
death and the sense of loneliness that
II brings.
Loneliness, rather than grief, for 1t
had been Robert Fairchilds promise
that he would not suffer in heart for
one who had lOnged to go into peace
for which he had waited, seemingly in
vain. Year after year, Thornton Fair
child had sat In the big armchair by
the windows, watching the days grow
old and fade into night, studying sun
set after sunset. volcing the vain hope
that the cleaning might bring the twi-
light of his own exlstence-a.- silent
man except for this, rarely speaking of
the past. never giving to. the son who
worked Tor him, cared for him, wOr-
SHIPPED him, the slightest inkling OF
what might have happened In the dim
days of the long ago to transform him
into beaten thing, longing for the
final surcease. And when the end
came, 1t found him In readiness, wait
ing in the big armchair by the win
dows. Even now, book lay on the
frayed carpeting Of the old room,
where 1t had fallen from relaxing fin
gers. Robert Fairchild picked It up,
and with a sigh restored 1t to the
grim, fumed oak case. His days OF
petty sacrifices that his father might
while away the weary hours with
reading were over.
What had been the past? Why the
silence? Why the patient, yet impa-
tient wait for death? The son did not
know. In all his memories was only
one faint picture, painted years be-
fore In babyhood: the return of his
father from some place, he knew not
where. long conference with his
mother behind closed doors, while he
In childlike curiosity, waited without
seeking in vain TO catch some expla.
nation. Then a sad-faced woman who
cried at night when the house was
still, who faded and who died. That
was all. The picture carried no ex
PLANTATION.
And now Robert Fairchild stood or
the threshold of something he almOs'
feared to learn. Once. on a black
stormy night, they had sat together
father and son before the fire, silent
for hours. Then the hand of the
white-haired man had reached out
