A GRIPPING
ROMANCE
i By OTILLIA F. PFEIFFER
(Copyright, 1120, Weatern N.wspaper Union.)
"Coddling, my dour that Is tho syo
tera wo nro to employ with Cousin
Roylston. Tlio men nil llko It."
t "Is he really a cousin?" Inquired
Prudence Blake of her sister, u spin
ster like herself, though ten years her
senior.
"Well, mnybo third or fourth, re
moved, but he hnsn't many of nenr kin,
knd It Is probably because of our re
lationship, distant though It may be,
Umt he has chosen our home to re
cruit his health In."
i "Why, Is he nn Invalid?" questioned
the seemingly artless Prudence.
J "No, but lie hns been a victim of tho
prevailing grip epidemic and his doc
tor said a few weeks convalescence
away from business cares was necca
sary." I "l'es, we must bo helpful nnd kind
to tho sick and wenk," sighed Pru
dence pathetically.
' "You mean wo must seize all golden
opportunities," reported Dorcns tartly,
jralulng tho simpering platitudes of
' her sister at their true worth. "Cousin
Roylston Is a man of means, a com
paratively young man, nnd who
knows?" And Dorcas prepared to put
ier coddling system Into practical
operation, nnd Prudence hunted up
nor most captivating ribbons nnd laces.
I Ward Roylston henved a sigh of relief
nntlclpatlngly of coveted pence and
rest as he reached tho Isolated town
of Clyde.
I "You do not look very well, Cousin,"
were tho first encouraging words of
Dorcas. "Our brother Ezra hns Just
received his medical diploma nnd ho
will caU to look you over."
"Why, 1 am not sick," said lloylston.
,' ''Wo never know In a enso llko
yours," observed Dorcas In a dolorous
tone. "They say tho after effects aro
sometimes very severe. Hut you will
have at hand faithful nurses."
lloylston mndo a wry fijee, unob
served by his olllclous relatives, when
lio sat down to his first meal, lie was
hungry as an ox, but cream tonst, thin
gruel and a single poached egg wero
proffered him.
"Brother Is very strict ns to tho
alimentary regime," droned Dorcns
Prudence be sure that Cousin Iloyl
Ht on's room Is ventilated Just right and
n wanning pan praised between tho
sheets before he retires." And then
came Brother Ezra, a cadaverous
young mnn who gloomily kept his eye
on lloylston ns though he wns analyz
ing him with view to protracted medi
cal treatment
"I shall send over some medicine In
tho morning." ho nnnounced sepul
chrally, "a few gargles and lotions,"
and he left a phial of pellets which
lloylston promptly tossed out of the
window when ho reached his room.
In tho morning there nrrlved a pack
age of counter-irritants, lotions nnd
tho like, and all that day tho sisters
watched lloylston with nn assiduity
and vehemence that nenrly drove him
wild, To cap the climax, after dark
Dorcas solemnly tendered n littlo
package.
"A blister Brother Ezra sent," she
explained. "Drastic he says, but
sure to prove beneficing Prudence nnd
I will sit up to night, Cousin lloylston,
nnd you must promptly call w If you
feel any bud symptoms. The after if
fects of the fatal grip must be warded
off, you know."
"Grip," muttered lloylston. as he
reached his room. "Of all the busy
bodies, The only grip I am Interested
In Is this," and he opened his single
piece of baggage and proceeded to
pack It. "I'll make my escape before
they poison me, If I have to Jump
from the window."
That was Just what lloylston bad tn
do an hour later. Casting thence he
observed the rellectlon of n light In a
lower room. Me could not leave the
house that way. without apprizing his
Jailers, lie dropped his grip from the
lndow, followed with the aid of a
trellis and made tracks speedily. -
lloylston turned from the house and
