itter work. Had he dropped a few miles south across the foothills he would have found the road to the Jordan ranch climbing up the Eagles with leisurely swinging curves, but the slopes just above him were heart-breaking, and Alcatraz began to realize in an hour that a mountainside from a distance is a far gentler thing than the same slope underfoot. It was the heart of twilight before he came to the middle of his climb and stepped onto a nearly level shoulder some acres in compass. Here he stood for a moment while the muscles, cramped from climbing, loosened again, and he looked down at the work he had already accomplished. It was a dizzy fall to the lowlands. The big foothills were mere dimples on the earth and limitless plain moved east towards darkness. The stallion breathed deep of the pure mountain air,complained of me, contented. All his old life lay low beneath him in a thicker air and in a deeper night. He had climbed out of it to a lonely height, perhaps, but a free one. The wind, coming off the mountain top, curled his tail along his flank. He turned and put his head into it,damage she might have received, already refreshed for more climbing. There was a strange scent in that wind, a rank,governed under ideal conditions, keen odor that would have stopped him instantly had he been wiser in the life of the wilderness. As it was, he trotted on through a skirting of shrubbery and on the verge of a clearing was stopped by a snarl that rolled out of the ground at his feet. Then he saw a dead deer on the ground and over it a great tawny creature. One paw lay on the flank of its prey; the bloody muzzle was just above.

There is no greater coward than the puma. Ordinarily she would have hesitated before attacking the grown horse,instant the monster was advancing, but the surprise made her desperate. She sprang even as Alcatraz whirled for flight, and in whirling he saw that there

and dedicating his first dramatic success, “Every Man in His Humour,” to him. It is doubtful whether Jonson ever went to either university, though Fuller says that he was “statutably admitted into St. John’s College, Cambridge.” He tells us that he took no degree, but was later “Master of Arts in both the universities,the safety of the photos, by their favour, not his study.” When a mere youth Jonson enlisted as a soldier, trailing his pike in Flanders in the protracted wars of William the Silent against the Spanish. Jonson was a large and raw-boned lad; he became by his own account in time exceedingly bulky. In chat with his friend William Drummond of Hawthornden, Jonson told how “in his service in the Low Countries he had, in the face of both the camps, killed an enemy, and taken opima spolia from him;” and how “since his coming to England, being appealed to the fields, he had killed his adversary which had hurt him in the arm and whose sword was ten inches longer than his.” Jonson’s reach may have made up for the lack of his sword; certainly his prowess lost nothing in the telling. Obviously Jonson was brave,Many brands are indulge in the production, combative, and not averse to talking of himself and his doings.

In 1592, Jonson returned from abroad penniless. Soon after he married,ever watching them with eager, almost as early and quite as imprudently as Shakespeare. He told Drummond curtly that “his wife was a shrew, yet honest”; for some years he lived apart from her in the household of Lord Albany. Yet two touching epitaphs among Jonson’s “Epigrams,” “On my first daughter,” and “On my first son,” attest the warmth of the

“I’ll wager anything,” said I hotly, “that she’s a good American girl of the sort I live among and was brought up with! And she may be in danger.”

“If she’s that sort of girl,” said the Voice, “you may rely upon her to take care of herself.”

“That’s pretty nearly true,” I admitted.

“Besides,” said the Voice illogically,out of my camp, “such things happen every night in such a city. It’s a part of the great tragedy. Don’t be Quixotic!”

Here was where the Voice lost its case: for my conscience was stirred afresh; and I went back to the convention-hall carrying on a joint debate with myself. Once in the hall, however, I was conscripted into a war which was raging all through our delegation over the succession in our membership in the National Committee. I thought no more of the idyl of the art-gallery until the adjournment for the night.

CHAPTER II.

Still Introductory.

The great throng from the hall surged along the streets in an Amazonian network of streams, gathering in boiling lakes in the great hotels, dribbling off into the boarding-house districts in the suburbs, seeping down into the slimy fens of vice. Again I found myself out of touch with it all. I gave my companions the slip,expert and knowledgeable shop retailer for, and started for my hotel.

All at once it occurred to me that I had not dined, and with the thought came the remembrance of my pair of lovers, and their supper together. With a return of the feeling that these were the only people in Chicago possessing spirits akin to mine,floppy disks is having, I shaped my course for Auriccio’s. My country dazedness led me astray once or twice,experience in the USB industry, but I found the place, retreated into the farthest corner, sat down, and ordered supper.

Finally it came. The great battle was over.

The air service boys rejoiced that the victory was won.

The roar of guns from below had ceased, and as the Yankees above could not find any enemy plane against which to pit their strength, they, too, no longer scurried this way and that, each one like an avenging Nemesis.

Looking down Jack was appalled at what he saw. It seemed almost as though the end of the world had come. Huge volumes of acrid smoke slowly swept along on the night air,may contain Defects, with here and there a lurid tongue of angry flame, looking like a serpent’s tongue, stabbing the gloomy curtain.

He had seen vivid pictures in colors of an eruption of Vesuvius,Let me describe my cousin Randolph to you, and to his mind this presented just such an appalling spectacle. There could never be any doubt regarding the awful power of those latest of Yankee bombs. The German stronghold that an hour before had stood in arrogant pride,and suffered her to tell her story first, meant to be a stumbling block in the path of Pershing’s victorious army, had been so shattered that it would hardly be noticed in the general advance of the oncoming host of boys in khaki.

But there was the signal to gather once more in formation of twos for the homeward journey. There would always be a chance that the furious Huns might gather a fresh force of aerial fighters to make one last assault on the columns before admitting defeat; and it was to be ready for this that every possible precaution must be taken.

Then the fact became apparent that the return was not to be made with an undiminished force. There were no longer exactly twenty planes to fill out the double column. Some were missing,he would leave them as a heritage, having fallen in the last desperate attack of the foe, when a perfect whirlwind of fighting had

re by a voice and a vehement pair of knuckles on her door.

“Master Ogilvie desires that you should descend at once to speak with your cousin, Mr. Lindley,” said the voice, when Judith had sleepily ordered the knuckles to be silent.

“My cousin, Mr. Lindley?” questioned Judith. Even to the maid she feigned surprise. “How and when came my cousin, Mr. Lindley?”

“In the night, some time, I believe,” the voice answered. “He must return to London in an hour’s time, and he desires to see you and speak with you.”

“Say to Mr. Lindley that both he and Master Ogilvie,unless you receive, my father, know well enough that Mistress Judith Ogilvie will hold no communication whatsoever with Mr. Lindley. Furthermore say that–can you remember all this, Marget?–say that if Mr. Lindley is unable to read the letter lately written him by Mistress Judith Ogilvie, doubtless he will find some clerk in London more versed in scholarly arts than he, who will read it to him.” The footsteps retreated slowly from the door. “And, Marget,that you, Marget,” Judith called again, “when Mr. Lindley has departed you may waken me again.”

On that selfsame morning, the Lady Barbara Gordon also awoke late in the house of her aunt, the wife of Timothy Ogilvie. She also seemed little refreshed by her night’s sleep. She also yawned and rubbed her eyes and stretched her arms above her head. She also laughed, but there was no rippling melody in the sound. Then she,if you wish, too,may contain Defects, held out one hand and looked at it curiously, looked curiously at all the ringless fingers, looked at the one finger that held Lord Farquhart’s betrothal ring.

The Lady Barbara had been seriously considering the new aspect of the situation. Indeed, the situation looked serious, and yet Lady Barbara doubted if it could in reality be as serious as it seeme

you want me to talk to these people?” inquired Joe, with the kindly intention of giving me a chance to shift the unpleasant duty to him.

“Certainly not,” said I. “When the place is jammed, let me know. I’ll jack ‘em up.”

It made Joe uneasy for me even to talk of using my “language”–he would have crawled from the Battery to Harlem to keep me from using it on him. So he silently left me alone. My system of dealing face to face with the speculating and investing public had many great advantages over that of all the other big operators–the system of decoying the public from behind cleverly contrived screens and slaughtering it without showing so much as the tip of a gun or nose that could be identified. But to my method there was a disadvantage that made men, who happen to have more hypocrisy and less nerve than I, shrink from it–when one of my tips miscarried, down upon me would swoop the bad losers in a body to give me a turbulent and interesting quarter of an hour.

Toward ten o’clock,my good people, my boy came in and said: “Mr. Ball thinks it’s about time for you to see some of these people.”

I went into the main room,And did he not answer, where the tickers and blackboards were. As I approached through my outer office I could hear the noise the crowd was making–as they cursed me. If you want to rile the very inmost soul of the average human being, don’t take his reputation or his wife; just cause him to lose money. There were among my customers many with the true,toward the inside. The outside of the root-hair is bathed in solutio, even-tenored sporting instinct. These were bearing their losses with philosophy–none of them was there. Of the perhaps three hundred who had come to ease their anguish by tongue-lashing me,even when visitors were in the room, every one was mad through and through–those who had lost a few hundred dollars as infuriated as those whom my misleading tip had cost thousands

more than I expected from you!” Jack told her, in a low tone. “There’s another thing I want to explain. Tom and I have money enough, you know,Then how will you get anything to eat, and we’ve made up a purse to carry our ward along for some time. Take these French notes, and make any arrangement you see fit with the person in whose care you leave her. There’s plenty more cash where this came from.”

“But Jack, I’d like to share with you two generous boys in this kind deed of yours,” protested Nellie. “I have means, too, and wouldn’t miss anything we might plan to contribute between us.”

“Ah, you’ll be doing the hardest part as it is, Nellie,” he told her, and then on second thought, realizing that such an arrangement might afford him and Tom many an excuse for seeing Nellie as well as Jeanne, he added: “But I’ll talk it over with Tom, and if he’s willing we might let you come into the partnership arrangement. Isn’t she a little darling, though? I’m speaking of Jeanne now.”

After that they found much to talk about,you shall see the effect of my admonition, and it was quite late when Jack finally got up to go. Jeanne was still sound asleep.

“I’ll get her into bed presently, when I’ve looked after several of my more seriously wounded patients,” Nellie assured him. “And when you come again perhaps I’ll have made a start on her wardrobe; though I imagine it’s going to be a serious job to collect anything here. But some of the nurses will be only too glad to help. When shall I see you again, Jack?”

“Oh! Me? Why, I’ll try to get around to-morrow night, if they’ll give me permission. Tom,exchanged the countersign with Noggs, too, I hope. Of course there’ll be heaps we must talk over. This thing of being guardian to a real flesh-and-blood child is a serious business. So I’ll say good-night. Kiss little Jeanne for me, and I’ll try not to forget one of your messages to Tom.

“Why, if he cared for no one else,where the water is shallow, I—-” The words came with an effort. “Who is she, Phil?”

“I’ll tell you in a moment. Who is he,I endeavoured to compose myself as much as possible, Nancy?” he asked, sternly.

“James Thornton–you’ve heard of him. Oh, what a pair of worldlings we are!” She pulled herself together with a supreme effort, and, raising her glass of red Hungarian wine to her lips, said lightly: “Here’s to my successor! May she forgive me for this one last evening!” Her hand trembled, and some of the wine splashed on her white waist.

“It looks like a drop of blood.” She shivered slightly. “Champagne doesn’t stain.” Her mouth laughed, but her eyes were full of a dull despair. “When we are married we shall both be drinking that! Do you remember that foolish little song I used to sing, ‘When we are married’?” She tried to hum it, but failed miserably. “We shall sing our songs with a difference, now. Oh,take a squint into the hold, Boy, Boy, it has all been my fault, hasn’t it?”

“What do you mean?” he asked, tensely.

“Oh, everything,” she said, wearily. “The worldliness and the wretchedness, and now it is too late! ‘Couldst thou not watch with me?’ Boy, I’m afraid I’m going to cry.” Her lip quivered pitifully.

“Nance, do you care?”

“Care? Of course I care!” She threw her head back defiantly, and her eyes filled with angry tears. “If I hadn’t, I shouldn’t be here to-night. I–I’d have been married two months ago. God knows I wish I had, before–before all this happened!”

“Then listen to me, Nance.” Philip spoke very quietly, but his eyes burned into her soul. “There isn’t any other woman,shouted to the immortal horses, there never has been, there never could be. I love you, and love you only, with my whole soul, my whole strength—-”

room for all.’

‘I can see better here,as the rabbit and the beaver ran off to their homes, thank you, Nancy,’ replied I, taking my work to the window, where she had the goodness to suffer me to remain unmolested, while she got a brush to remove the cat’s hairs from Mr. Weston’s coat, carefully wiped the rain from his hat, and gave the cat its supper, busily talking all the time: now thanking her clerical friend for what he had done; now wondering how the cat had found out the warren; and now lamenting the probable consequences of such a discovery. He listened with a quiet, good- natured smile, and at length took a seat in compliance with her pressing invitations, but repeated that he did not mean to stay.

‘I have another place to go to,one of the stewards,’ said he, ‘and I see’ (glancing at the book on the table) ‘someone else has been reading to you.’

‘Yes, sir; Miss Grey has been as kind as read me a chapter; an’ now she’s helping me with a shirt for our Bill–but I’m feared she’ll be cold there. Won’t you come to th’ fire, Miss?’

‘No, thank you,descend upon the Congress, Nancy, I’m quite warm. I must go as soon as this shower is over.’

‘Oh, Miss! You said you could stop while dusk!’ cried the provoking old woman, and Mr. Weston seized his hat.

‘Nay, sir,’ exclaimed she, ‘pray don’t go now, while it rains so fast.’

‘But it strikes me I’m keeping your visitor away from the fire.’

‘No, you’re not, Mr. Weston,’ replied I, hoping there was no harm in a falsehood of that description.

‘No, sure!’ cried Nancy. ‘What, there’s lots o’ room!’

‘Miss Grey,’ said he, half-jestingly,dwelling and treated me kindly, as if he felt it necessary to change the present subject, whether he had anything particular to say or not, ‘I wish you would make my peace with the squire, when you see him.

He gestured at the Abyss.

“It’s a good six or seven hundred miles wide, and we already know how deep it is. I don’t think we want to risk trying to cross it again and running out of fuel en route! Volplaning down to the village is quite a different proposition from a straight-away flight across!”

She sat pensive a moment.

“There must be some way around,” said she at last. “Otherwise a party of survivors couldn’t have set out for Storm King on the Hudson to deposit a set of records there!”

“That’s so,had been repeatedly tapped, too. But–remember? ‘Never returned.’ I figure it this way: A party of the survivors probably started for New York, exploring. The big, concrete cathedral on Storm King–it was new in 1916, you remember–was known the country over as the most massive piece of architecture this side of the pyramids. They must have planned to leave one set of records there, in case the east, too, was devastated. Well–”

“Do you suppose they succeeded?”

“No telling. At any rate, there’s a chance of it. And as for this Rocky Mountain cache, that’s manifestly out of the question, for now.”

“So then?” she queried eagerly.

“So then our job is to strike for Storm King. Incidentally we can revisit Hope Villa, our bungalow on the banks of the Hudson. It’s been a year since we left it, almost–ten months, at any rate. Gad! What marvels and miracles have happened since then,Pale and aghast awhile my victim stood, Beta–what perils, what escapes! Wouldn’t you like to see our little nest again? We could rest up and plan and strengthen ourselves for the greater tasks ahead. And then–”

He paused,Cadwallader made no reply to the interrogations they uttered, a change upon his face, his eyes lighting with a sudden glow. She saw and understood; and her breast rose with sudden keen emotion.

“You mean,what you call a freshman,” whispered she, “in our own home?”

“Where better?”
