game of last night. To-day you are to
invade the very citadel and deceive
your aunt. Your cousin has left with
out notice and the situation demands
prompt action."
I was already carryln? the sult-cas-"
toward the house, explaining as w
walked along together.
"Rut was I no successful last night!
Was he realty deceived, or did he just
play that he was?"
"He's madly In love with you. You
stole away all his senses. Hut he
thought you changed toward him un
accountably on the way home."
"But why didn't she tell him? she
must have told him."
"Oh, I took care of that! I rather
warned her against betraying us. And '
r.ow she's trying to punish me by be
ing kidnaiieJ!"
Rosalind paused at the threshold,
fathering ihe stems of the sweet peas
In her hands.
"Do you think," she began, "do you
think he really liked me I mean th
real me?"
"Like you! That is not tho rieht
word for It. He's gloomily dreaming
of you the real you at this very mo
ment over at Glenarm. But do hasten
Into these things that Sister Margaret
picked out for you. I must see youi
father before I carry you off. We'vs
no time to waste, I can tell you!"
The canoe-maker heard my story In
silence and shook his head.
"It Is impossible; we should only
Bet Into deeper trouble. I have no
great faith in this resemblance. It
may have worked once on young Oil
leBple, but women have sharper eyes."
"Butvit must be tried!" I pleaded.
"We are approaching the end of these
troubles, and nothing must be allowed
to Interfere. Your sister wishes to see
you; thi3 Is her birthday."
"So it Is! So it Is!" exclaimed the
canoe-maker with feeling.
"Helen must be saved from her own
felly. Her aunt must not know of
this latest exploit; it would ruin every
thing' As we debated Rosalind Joined her
persuasions to mine.
"Aunt Pat must not know what
Helen has done if we can help It," she
said.
While she changed her clothes I
talked on at the house-boat with her
father.
"My sister has asked for me?"
"Yes; your sister Is ready to settle
with Henry; but she wishes to see you
first. She has begged me to find you;
hut Helen must go back to her aunt.
This fraudulent kidnaping must never
he known to Miss Pat. And on the
other hand, I hope It may not be nec
essary for Helen to know the truth
about Tier father."
"I dare say she would sacrifice my
wn daughter quickly enough," he
said.
"No; you are wrong; I do not be
lieve It! She is making no war on
yru, or on her aunt! It's against me!
She enoys a contest; she's trying to
beat me."
"She believe that I forged the Gil
lespie notes and ruined her father.
Henry has undoubtedly told her so."
"Yes; and he has used her to get
them away from young Gillespie.
There's no question about that "But
T have the notes, and I propose hold
ing them for your protection. But I
don't want to use tbem If I can help
It"
1 appreciate what you are doing for
Tne," he said quietly, but his eyes wers
till troubled and I taw that he had
little faith In the outcome.
"Your sister Is disposed to' deal gen
rrmaly with Henry. Bhe does tot
know where the dishonor lies."
""We are all honorable men," he
replied bitterly, slowly pacing the
floor. His sleeves were rolled away
from his sun-browned arms, his shirt
wis open at the throat, and though he
wore the rough clothes of a mechanic
be looked more the artist at work In a
rural studio than the canoe maker of
the Tippecanoe. He walked to a win
dow and looked down for a moment
Ul-on the singing creek, then cams
to me and spoke In a different

"I have given tLese years of my life
to protecting my brother, and they
must not be wasted. I have nothing
to say against him; I shall keep si
lent." "He has forfeited every right. Now
Is your tlmo to punish him," I said;
but Arthur Holbrook only looked at
me pityingly.
"I don't want revenge, Mr. Donovan,
but I am almost In a mood for justice,"
he said with a rueful smile; and Just
" then Rosalind entered the shop.
"Is my fate decldod?" she de
manded. The sight of her seemed to renew
the canoe maker's distress, and I led
the way at once to the door. I think
that In spite of my efforts to be gay
and to carry tha affair off lightly, we
an felt that the day was momentous.
"When shall I eipect you backT

"But If anything should happen
here?" The tears flashed in Rosalind's
eyes, and she clung a moment to his
hand.
"He will hardly be troubled by day
light, end this evening he can send
! up a rocket if any one molests him.
1 Go ahead, Ijlma!"
J As we cleared Battle Orchard and
sped ou toward Gienanq there was a
sting in the wind, and Lake Annandale
1 had fretted Itself into foam. We saw
the Stiletto running prettily before
the wind along the Glenarm shore, and
I stopped the engine before crossing
her wake and let the launch Jump the
waves. Helen would not, I hoped, be
lieve me capable of attempting to
paim off Rosalind on Miss Pat; and I
had no wish to undeceive her. My pas
senger had wrapped herself In my
mackintosh and taken my cap, so that
at the distance at which we passed she
was not recognizable.
Sister Margaret was waiting for us
at the Glenarm pier. I had been a lit
tle afraid of Sister Margaret. It was
presuming a good deal to take her Into

tosh and Taken My Cap.
the conspiracy, and I stood by in ap
prehension while she scrutinized Rosa
lind. She was clearly bewildered and
drew close to the girl, as Rosalind
threw off the wet mackintosh and flung
down the dripping cap.
"Will she do, Sister Margaret?"
"I believe she will; I really believe
she will!" And the sister's face bright
ened with relief. She had a color in
her face that I had not seen before, as
the Joy of the situation took hold of
her. She was, I realized, a woman
after all, and a young woman at that
with a heart not hardened against
life's daily adventures.
"It Is time for luncheon. Miss Pat
expects you, too."
"Then I must leave you to Instruct
Miss Holbrook and carry off the first
meeting, Miss Holbrook has been
"For a long walk" the sister sup'
plied "and will enter St. Agatha
parlor a little tired from her tramp.
She shall go at once to her rocm
with me. I have put out a white gown
for her; and at luncheon we will talk
only of safe things."
"And I shall have this bouquet of
sweet pea3," added Rosalind, "that I
brought from a farmer's garden near
by. as an offering for Aunt Pat's birth
day. And you will both be there to
keep me from making mistakes."
"Then after luncheon we shall drive
until Miss Pat's birthday dinner; and
the dinner shall be on the terrace at
Glenarm, which Is even now being
decorated for a fete occasion. And be
fore the night Is old Helen shall be
back. Good luck attend us all!" I
said; and we parted In the best of
spirits.
I bad forgotten Gillespie, and was
surprised to find him at the table in
my room, absorbed In business papers.
" 'Button, button, who's got the but
ton!" he chanted as be looked me
over. "You appear to bare been swim
tnlng In your clothes. I bad my mall
lent out here. I've got to shut down
the factory at Ponsocket. The thought
of it bores me extravagantly. What
time's luncheon?"
"Whenevor yon ring three times,
I'm lunching out"
"Ladies r be asked, raising his
brows. "You appear to be a little so
cial favorite; couldn't you get me la
on something? How about dinner?"
"I am myself entertaining at dinner;
and your name Isn't on the list, I'm
sorry to say, Buttons. But to-morrow!
Everything will be possible tomor
row. I expect Miss Pat and Helen
here to-night. It's Miss Pat's birthday,
and I want to make It a happy day for
her. She's going to settle with Henry
as soon as some preliminaries are ar
ranged, so the wars nearly over."
"She can't settle with him until
something demote is known about Ar
thur. If he's really dead"
"I've promised to settle that; but
I must hurry now. Will you meet me
at the Glenarm boathouse at eight?
If I'm not there, wait. I shall have
something for you to do."
"Meanwhile I'm turned out of your
house, am I? But I positively decline
to go until I'm fed."
As I got Into a fresh coat ho played
a lively tune on the electric bell, and
I left him giving his orders to the
butler.
I was reassured by the sound of
voices as I passed under the windows
of St Agatha's, and Sister Margaret
met me In the hall with a smiling face.
"Luncheon waits. We will go out at
once. Everything has passed off
smoothly, perfectly."
I did not dare look at Rosalind until
we were seated In the dining room.
Her sweet peas graced the center o(
the round table, anf. Sister Margaret
cad placed tCeis !n a tall vase so tEat
Rosalind was well screened from her
aunt s direct gate. The Bister had
managed admirably. Rosalind's hair
was swept up In exactly Helen's poma-
dour; and in one of Helen's white
gowns, with Helen's own particular
hade of scarlet ribbon at her throat
and wrist, the resemblance was even
more complete than I had thought It
before. But w were cast at once
upon deep waters.
"Helen, where did you find that ar
ticle on Charles Lamb you read the
other evening? I have looked for it
everywhere."
Rosalind took rather more time than
was necessary to help herself to the
asparagus, and my heart sank; but
Sister Margaret promptly saved the
day.
"It was In the Round World. That
article we were reading on 'The Au
thorship of the Collects' Is in the same
number."
"Yes; of course," said Rosalind,
turning to me.
Art seemed a safe topic; and I
steered lor the open, and spoke In a
large way, out of my ignorance, of
Michelangelo's Influence, winding up
presently with a suggestion that Miss
Pat should have her portrait painted.
This was a successful stroke, for we
all fell Into a discussion of contenv
poraneous portrait painters about
whom Sister Margaret fortunately
knew something; but a cold chill went
down my back a moment later when
Miss Pat turned upon Rosalind and
asked her a direct question:
"Helen, what was the name of the
artist who did that mkiiatuie of your
mother?"
Sister Margaret swallowed a glass
of water, and I stooped to pick up my
napkin.
"Van Arsdel, wasn't It?" asked Rosa
lind, instantly.
"Yes; so It was," replied Miss Pat.
Luck was favoring us, and Rosalind
was rising to the emergency splen
didly. It appeared afterward that her
own mother had been painted by tho
same artist, and she had boldly risked
the guess. Sister Margaret and I
wore frightened into a discussion of
the possibilities of aerial navigation,
with a vague notion, I think, of keep
ing the talk in the air, and It sufficed
until we had concluded the simple lun
cheon. I walked beside Miss Pat to
the parlor. The sky had cleared, and
I broached a drive at once. I had
read in the newspapers that a consid
erable body or regular trops was
passing near Annandale on a practice
march from Fort Sheridan to a ren
dezvous at some point south of us.
"Let us go and see the soldiers," I
suggested.
"Very well, Larry," she said. "We
can make believe they are sent out to
do honor to my birthday. You are
thoughtful hoy. I can never thank you
for all your consideration and kind
ness. And you will not fall to find
Arthur I am asking you no ques
tions; I'd rather not know where h
is. I'm afraid of truth!" She turned
her head away quickly we were seat
ed by ourselves in a corner of the
room. "I am afraid, I am afraid to
nsV"
"He is well; quite well. I shall have
news of him to-night."
She glanced across the room to
where Rosalind and Sister Margaret
talked quietly together. I felt Miss
Pat's hand touch mine, and suddenly
there were tears In her eyes.
"I was wrong! I was most unjust in
what I said to you of her. She was
all tenderness, all gentleness when
Bhe came In this morning." She fum
bled at her belt and held up a small
cluster of the sweet peas that Rosa
lind had brought from Red Gate.
"I told you so!" I said, trying to
laugh off her contrition. "What you
said to me Is forgotten, Miss Pat."
"And now when everything Is set
tied, if she wants to marry Gillespie,
let her do It."
"But she won't! Haven't I told you
that Helen shall never marry him?"
I had ordered a buckboard, and It
was now announced.
"Don't trouble to go upstairs, Aunl
Pat; I will bring your things for you,"
aid Rosalind; and Miss Pat turned
upon me with an air of satisfaction
and pride, as much as to say: "You
see how devoted she Is to me!"
I wish to acknowledge here my ob
ligations to Sister Margaret for giving
me the benefit of her care and re
aoureefulness on that difficult day
There was no nice detail that she over
looked, no danger that she did not an
tlclpate. She sat by Miss Pat on th
long drive, while Rosalind and I chat
tered nonsense behind them. We wers
so fortunate as to strike the first bat
talloa, and saw It go into camp on s
bit of open prairie to await the arrival
of the artillery that followed. But at
no time did I lose sight of the odd
business that still lay ahead of me,
nor did I remember with any satis
faction how Helen, somewhere across
woodland and lake, chafe 1 at the de
laved climax of her plot. The girl al
my side, lovely and gracious as nh
was, struck me Increasingly as but a
tame shadow of that other one, so liko
and so unlike! I marveled that Miss
Pat had not seen it; and In a period
of alienee on the drive home I think
Rosalind must have guessed my
thought; for I caught her regarding
me with a mischievous smile and shn
said, as the others rather too generous
ly sought to Ignore us:
"You can see now how different I
am how very different!"
When I left them at St Agatha's
with an hour to spare before dinner,
Sister Margaret assured me with her
eyes that there was nothing to fear.
I was nervously pacing the long ter
race when I saw my guests approach
ing. I told the butler to order dinner
at once and went down to meet tbem.
Miss Pat declared that she never felt
better; and under the excitement of

Kunsman & Ramge yesterday re
ceived some very fine fat cattle which
they will slaughter and pi nop on the
market. This firm does practically
all Its own slaughtering and by this
means they succeed In having very
nice' ments for their patrons. This
shipment Is one of the nlcent ap
pearing they hnve ever received and
It can readily ho seen thnt they dis
played unusual care In Its selection.
During the past winter they reielved
a number of shipments of cattle
which were very nice and good to
look at but this Is a better looking
one than any of the others. The
cattle were driven out to their feel
ing pens northwest of the city where
they will be kept and slaughtered m
needed. Plrtttsmouth Is fortunate In
Its meat markets having some of the
best In the state and this firm Is
one of tho best In the city.
