. . . After all—I can’t
quite stay on that plane! . .
. Before we pro, each to our
work—I must have something
to live on. So must you. I
haven’t a particle of doubt—■
you want it, too!
XXVII.
“You don’t think it will hurt
him, Rich?’’
Sally asked the question
concernedly, as she always did
whon there was doubt in her
mind as to any move of Schuy
ler’s. Not that her husband
had made many moves, or
wanted to, in these last few
months. But now strangely he
was bent on what seemed to
her a great effort, though she
knew little of the details of his
pla ns.
“Hurt him—to go in to a
small dinner at 8age Pier
pont’s? I’m delighted that he
■wants to go. What if it should
tire him, Sally dear? Better to
suffer a little setback than live
the drab life he lives now, with
out a break in the monotony.
Let him go.”
“He will go, anyway. I’ve
sent in for his dress clothes and
he’s been trying on his dinner
coat. It’s—oh, frightfully loose
over the back and shoulders. I
didn’t know how much weight
he’d lost till I saw that. And
there’s no time to have it al
tered.”
“What of it? The pleasure of
being among people again, if
only for an evening, will fill
him out to fit it.”
“Rich!” Sally bit her lip. ”1
want you to admit that Schuy’s
forgotten himself of late. He’s
not, self-centered now—not as
he was, nor as you think him
all the time. He spends hours
with Bob and Barbara. And
how he’s deep in some plan
with Mr. Pierpont that he
won’t tell even me about, ex
cept the merest outlines. He
says he wants me to get the
full value of the surprise of it.
'And yet, with it all. Rich—oh,
it doesn’t mean improvement—
not physical improvement. Tf
I could only think that! But
his poor eyes—”
“I know. But, Sally, you
should he thankful for any
thing that takes him out of
himself for a time. That’s why
I say give him his head, even
though he tires himself out and
has to pay for it. He’s like—
well—lie’s like a soldier who’s
going up to the front soon, and
has a week's leave beforehand.
Let him make the most of it—
it will give him something to
think about when lie’s in the
trenches—waiting.”
“Oh, Rich—a simile like
that—”
“It s a true one, my dear—
why hesitate to use it T And you
must remember that some
fighting men eome back from
the trenches.”
She turned away, and he
looked pityingly after her. He
knew she fully understood how
hopeless was Schuyler’s ease,
as far as human knowledge
could foresee. And he knew
also that nothing could be of
the comfort to her in days to
eome as would the memories of
her husband’s having advanced
bravely to meet his fate. Fiske
did admit—he had to, as she
had begged him to—that since
thn shock of Rob’s accident
Schuyler had seemed to eome
to himself, to be trying as he
hadn’t tried before to be mas
ter of himself.
Fiske really was deeply
curious to know what it was
that Schuyler had been plan
ning with Sage Pierpont, in the
several conferences the two
had had together. Pierpont’s
first visit, made at Schuyler’s
renuest. had bv chance coincid
ed with one of Fiske’s own. He
had seen the important man go
into Schuyler’s presence with
an impassive face, his manner
polite but none too warm. TTe

had soon him come out smiling,
and if not quite rubbing his
hands with satisfaction, at
least showing that he was im
mensely pleased over some
thing. When the dinner invi
tation had come to Dr. Richard
Fiske from Mr. Sage Pierpont
a few days later, it had stated
that the small affair was given
in honor of Dr. Schuyler Chase.
Impossible not to wonder a
little over that. Schuyler had
sent for his chief trustee to
suggest a dinner in his own
honor? Unthinkable, even to
one who had long thought cyn
ically of the ways of public
men to get themselves adver
tised. No, something of more
significance than that w*as on
foot. Fiske determined that he
would permit no professional
engagement, of whatever im
portance. lo detain him from
that dinner.
Jo, you look simply lovely.
I’ve never seen you in white
before—such artful white, my
dear!”
“Do you like it, Mrs. Chase!
I'm so glad. I knew I must
have one or two such frocks to
use for college dinners and
dances—the faculty do dance,
you know, if anybody’s good
enough to take them out! So I
bought this in the twinkling of
an eve, yesterday, as I came
through town. And it’s so nice
to christen it on my very last
evening with you. and at this
dinner for Doctor Chase.”
“Don’t mention it’s being
your last evening, Josephine
Jenney.” Sally Chase shook
her head with a gesture of keen
regret. “What are we to do
without you—”
“But we’re going to be very
gay tonight, aren't weT An«3
here’s Doctor Chase, looking
like a beau cavalier! It’s such
fun for us all to be so festive,
after having lived in fustian,
so to speak, all summer.”
Both young women turned to
meet the tall, slim, black-clad
figure which had come into the
room. Schuyler’s shoulders,
in the dinner coat, were
straighter than usual; his head
was up, a smile was on his lips.
Except for the black glasses he
looked to Sally more like his
old self than she had seen him
for many months. She knew
the excitement sustained him,
lent a hint of color to his pale
face, so that he didn’t seem the
invalid he was. A waive of in
consistent hope-the sudden
feeling that a miracle might
happen and he might recover
after all, if not his eyesight at
least his general health
surged into her loyal heart.
Anyhow, let her take this eve
lung ns a gift of the pods—no,
as a gift of tlio Cod. Not “lot
ns eat, drink and bo niorry for
tomorrow wo die,” as she bad
boon foolinp it. “For tomor
row wo live” was a better
eountarsipn. She would keep
it in ber heart, and be ns pay
as Jo had said.
“Yes—away with fustian for
tonipht!” Sehuyler apreed. “If
I’d known how pottinp into a
dross shirt would inspire me
with a desire for going out to
dinner I’d have worn one un
der my dressing gown all sum

ought to be here. Sally, you
look like an angel in that
pea eh-blow gown. Miss Jen
ney, hasn’t my wife the most
beautiful nook and shoulders

“Oh. hush!” But Sally
smiled as Sehuyler came over
to her and stooped to kiss her.
She could feel his eyes strain
ing through the black glasses
to see clearly the beatify which
the charming dinner gown ex
quisitely set off.
“Site has. You’re a pictur
esque pair, and I’m proud to be
in your eomnany tonight. And

knock, of course.”
on until late at night after he has i
returned to the ministry of war.
Ho lives there, for he is a widower;
and his simple room would hardly
satisfy some of his lieutenants. He /
and his friend and companion-at- '
arms, the duke of Tetuan, minister
of war, keep house together. Each j
has retained his former orderly. One
of the soldiers acts as housekeeper |
for the two generals, and the other
s^ves as cook on occasions when

Gordon Alacicay came in, and
here was a mild sensation for
these people, who had been liv
ing the it'e of recluses for so
long. In his Loudon cut dinner
coat, his black tie knotted
evenly beneath his aggressively
Scotch chin, Mack ay was ex
traordinarily good looking. At
sight of his friends he made
them a formal bow, and stood
still to survey them, even as
they were surveying him.
“All in our best plaidies,
eh?'5 was his comment. “Hoots
an’ ye’re a braw sieht. ... I
hope you had an easier time
dressing than I did. I must
have been putting on weight
since I came to America—I
could hardly get into these
things. And I’d forgotten
how to tie this sort of tie. Is it
right, Mrs. Chase?”
“Quite right, and you’re
very nice. We all flatter our
salves that we’re dressed up,
and we’ve undoubtedly some
where to go. I don’t know
when I’ve been so keen about a
party. T)o let’s he off.”
“Off we are. Here’s your
wrap, Mrs. Chase—Doctor
Chase wants to put it on you
himself. Yet, thanks, this is
mine, Mr. Maekay.” do held
out her arms for the soft loose
eoat whieh she was making do
duty for the evening. Over the
top of it she met his smile and
his intent look. There was
something very exhilarating
about having this evening to
gether. After all the walks
and talks in the eountry out of
doors, much as both liked and
preferred sueh settings for
their growing aequaintanee, it
was a new and stimulating ex
perienee to be wearing sophis
ticated evening dress in each
other’s company and to be go
ing to view each other in the
candle flame of the rich man’s
table. Jo’s dusky beauty had
never seemed so to gleam,
Maekav’s rugsred comeliness so
to assert itself, the bearing of
both so unobtrusively to pro
claim that here was to be found
no new social situation for
either. Sally, glancing from
one to the other, said to her
self that they were really a
splendid pair, and that what
ever other guests they were to
meet that evening, none would
be likely more to challenge the
interest of all. With the excep
tion of Schuyler himself—for
she must except him. She fore
saw that he would be not only
the guest of honor in fact, he
would be the figure which
should appeal to the imagina
tion of all who knew his his
tory. There would be none
there who didn’t know it, she
was confident.
The swift drive to the city,
slowing gradually as they
came into the more crowded
streets, was soon over. The
car was at the door of the im
posing apartment house in the
exclusive district in which the
Sasre Pierponts could feel them
selves only appropriately
housed. The party was in the
private lift, was being shown
out. of it by an attentive ser
vant,. was presently being wel
comed by Pierpont in bis most
expansive manner. Clearly,
from the first, he was taking
tremendous satisfaction in
making a great occasion of it.
By bis side stood bis wife, a
tiny figure, gorgeously dressed
and pleasantly smiling, but
quite overshadowed by ber
husband.
“Here we are-—here we are!
Delighted to see you I Mrs.
Chase, may I say you’re look
ing marvelous tonight? That
color is my favorite . . .
Miss .Tenney—my eyes are posi
tively blinded—youth and
beauty always have that effect
upon them, but never more
devastatinglv than this eve
ning. . . . Doctor Clnse, this
is an extraordinary pleasure—
and T hope with all my heart
we shan’t tire you too much—
we shan’t permit ourselves to
do so. . . . Mr. Mackav”—
his sharp eyes dwelt with un
concealed gratification upon
the punctiliousness of this es
pecial guest’s attire, which
somehow he hadn’t quite ven
that the other has invited too many
guests.
Tn spite of a life which r.o one else
could stand, General Primo de Ri
vera does not seem to age. One
can scarcely see how he is rested
bv his numerous trips to Morocco.
Airing which all his time is spent
on the boat, on a horse or in a
motor car: or by his quick tours
of the provinces where, arriving on
one train and departing on the next,
he speaks at banquets given by the
patriotic unions, unveils monuments,
visits factories and harangues the
authorities.
Even when he goes to Jeres. his
native town, he cannot refuse the
tured to expect—"we consider
ourselves tortuuate to have you
with us—indeed we do."
lie proceeded to present the
other occupants of the room,
such as required presenting, to
this group who accompanied
the guest ot honor. There were
six of the most prominent men
in Seliuyler’s church—if it
could still be called his, as iti
technically could. Their wives
were there—a daughter or two,
some younger men who had
deeply admired Schuyler in his
hey-dey—24 in all.
When it was possible Pier
pout took Schuyler aside.
‘‘Just in," he whispered. “I’ve
sent a trusty messenger, since
it was out of the question for
me to be in two places at once.
May not be here at the begin
ning, but I’m positive, in time
for your purpose. Don’t be
anxious, will youf—it would
be so bad for you."
Schuyler winced at this last
phrase, but he put aside as
negligible this second untactful
if not intentional stab at his
own incapacities. His will was
set on the thing he had to ac
complish. Literally to him for
the time being nothing else
mattered.
Presently they went out to
dinner. It was such a dinner
as the Pierponts of this world
order, thoroughly enjoying
their power to offer to their
guests nothing bnt the choicest
and most costly of food, served
upon a table whose appoint
ments and decorations are of
themselves a display of wealth.
Schuyler and Sally Chase had
often before dined here, but
they noted tonight a lavishness
of entertainment which sug
gested that Pierpont was at
tempting to outdo himself.
Schuyler found himself
glancing appraisingly at Gor
don Mackay. “Will this daz
zle him—unsettle him! I hope
so—for his own good. Yet—■
somehow T wonder why I once
thought it so important to be
in this rich man’s good
graces!”
The thought steadied him.
ITo felt, for the first time in the
years he had known him, in
dependent of Pierpont. Though
he was conspiring with him, at
the same time he w'as nearer to
despising him. lie realized
that this was no mood for a
conspirator, and shrugged his
thin shoulders, smiling whims
ically to himself. There could
be no questioning of his own
purpose, of that he was sure.
If ever he had been whole
heartedly attempting to do the
big and generous thing, it wras
now. And if he knew his new
self, he was not “dramatizing
the situation,’’ as he had con
fessed to Jo Jeuney he had
feared he might do, more than
was necessary to carry his
point. Certainly, as through
the fog of his own vision he
had viewed himself in his own
mirror, while dressing that
night, he had looked to him
self a sorry figure. Could he
dominate the scene, as once he
could have been sure of doing!
If he could, he understood that
it would be partly through that
very sorriness.
The dinner proceeded. It was
noted bv the guests that at
Pierpont’s right there re
mained an empty chair, and it
remained empty while elabor
ate courses came and went. No
explanation was given of the
failure of this belated guest to
arrive. But Schuyler Chase
often glanced toward that
chair—it seemed to him to de
note a great and disturbing
gap in his plans and their pos
sible handicap if it were not
soon filled.
