going to tell me?" she asked, and
smiled again.
"Thev were ab'it f.ither: be w: :!
m involve him in dishonor. Hut he
hall not, he shall not!" cried Helen.
"Is that true, Larry?" asked Miss
Pat.
"I have done the best I could," I
replied evasively.
Miss Pat scrutinized us all slowly a
though studying our faces for th
truth. Then she repeated:
"Rut If either of my said sons shall
have been touched by dishonor through
his own act, as honor Is accounted,
reckoned and valued among men "
and ceased abruptly, looking from Ar
thur to Henry. "What was the truth
about Gillespie?" she asked.
And Arthur would have spoken. I
snw the word that would have saved
his brother formed upon his lips.
Mis Put alone soemod unmoved; I
paw her hand open and ehiit r.t her
side as she controilod herself, but her
face was calm end h.r voice was
steady when she tamed appealingly to
the canoe-nicker.
"What Is t.ie truth, Arthur?" she
asked, quietly.
"Why go Into this now? Why not
let bygones be bygones?" and for a
moment. I thought 1 had checked the
swift current. It was Helen I wished
to save now, from herself, from the
avalanche she seemed doomed to bring
down upon her head.
"I will hear what you have to say,
Arthur," said Miss Pat; and I knew
that there was no arresting the tide.
I snatched out the sealed envelope and
turned with It to Arthur Holbrook;
and he took it Into his hands and
turned It over quietly, though his
hands trembled.
"Tell me the truth, gentlemen!"
and Miss Pat's voice thrilled now with
anger.
"Trickery, more trickery; those
were stolen from Helen!" blurted Hen
ry, his eyes on the envelope; but we
were waiting for the canoe-maker to
speak, and Henry's words rang empti
ly In the shop.
Arthur looked at his brother; then
he faced his sister. - . """
"Henry is not guilty," ha said,
calmly.
He turned with a quick gesture and !
thrust the envelope Into the flame of '
one of the candles; but Helen sprang ,
forward and caught away the blazing
packet and smothered the flame be
tween her hands.
"We will keep the proof." sh said
In a tone of triumph; and I knew then 1
how completely she had believed in
her father.
"I don't know what Is In that pack
et," ssld Gillespie, Blowly, speaking for
the first time. "It has never been
opened. My lawyer told me that fa
ther had bworn to a statement about
the trouble with Holbrook Rrothers '
nnd placed It with the notes. My fa-1
ther was a peculiar man In some
ways," continued Gillespie, embar
rassed by the attention that was now
riveted upon him. "His lawyer told
me that I was to open that package
before before marrying Into" and he
grew red and stammered helplessly,
with his eyes on the floor "before
marrying Into the Holbrook family. I
gave up that packet" and he hesl
tated, coloring, and turning from Hel
en to Rosalind "by mistake. Rut It's
mine, and I demnnd It new."
"I wish Aunt Pnt to open the en
velope," said Rosalind, very white.
Henry turned a Iook of appeal upon
his brother; but Miss Pat took the
envelope from Helen and tore It oen;
nnd we stood by as though we waited
for death or watched earth fall upon a
grave. She bent down to one of the
candles nearest her and took out the
not"-, which were wrapped In a sheet
of heal cap. A red seal brightened In
the light, and we heard the slight rat
tle of the paper In her tremulous fin
gers as he read. Suddenly a tear
flashed upon the white sheet. When
she had quite flnlshed she gathered
Gillespie's statement and the notes la
her hand and turned nnd gave them
to Henry; but she did not speak to
him or meet his eyes. She crossed to
where Arthur stood beside me. h's
head bowed, and as she advsnred r
turned away; but her arms stole over
his shoulders and she said "Arthur"
once, and again very softly.
"I think," she said, turning toward
us all. with her sweet dignity, her
brave air, that touched me as at first
and always, beyond any words of mine
to describe, but strong and beautiful
and sweet and thrilling through me
now, like bugles blown at dawn; "I
think that we do well, Arthur, to give
Henry his money."
And now It whs Arthur's voice that
rose In tho shop; and It seemed that
he spoke of his brother as of one who
wns afar of. We listened wlih pain
ful lntent"-ss to this man who had n-f.
feted r h nnd given much, nnd wl-
fill. 1 1 nt! H-i e nenrt, asknfl no
praise for what he had done.
"He was s'm-"- nnd I was weak;
and I did for hltn what I onuM. And
what I Rave, I gave freely, for It Is not
ofte'u In this WttFni that Tffff weaY CTay
help the strong. He had the gifts, Pat.
that I had not. and troops of friends;
and he had ambitions that In my
weakness I ns nc ! capable of ; so I
had not much to give. But what I
had. Pat. I pave to him; I went to
Gilit-apie auu run Teased; I took ihe
blame; and I ram" here and worked
with my hands with . my hands"
And he '-'ended them as 'hough the
proof t- re asked; and ke; t repeating,
between his sobs: "With my hands."
CHAPTER XXV.
Daybreak.
At midnight Gillespie and I discussed
the day's afTalrs on the terrace at
Glenrm. There were long pauses In
our ' 'Ik. Such thine as we had seen
and heard that nleht In thm rm
mak-r's shop on the little creek, were !
beyond our poor range of words. And
In the silences my own reflections
were not whr'ly happy. If Miss Pat
r ! Ri-sat'"d ?d pet fr"- v d me o
Oc canoe-makci's 1 mljht ' ive si-arel
Helen; but looking back, I would not
change It now If I could. Helen had
returned to St. Agatha's with her aunt. ;
who would have it so; and we had
rarted at the school door, Miss Pat i

uuu iiui-'ll, lilllt-npir: nriu l, vvuo re
straint l"avy upon us all. Miss Pat
' 'd. It r -ornod, summoned her lawyer
Lou TCe v Yrrk several days before, to
discuss 'io llnal kmt.-nt of her fa
ther's " t' te; ui:d 1 - was t kneeled the
nexf -I'm. I hid asked them all
to ' a.m frr I' "'-'".s;; a:: I Arthur
HolL, ook and Rosalind, am' " mry,
who had broken dawn at the end, had
agreed to come.
As we talked on, Gillespie nnd I,
there under the stars, he disclosed,
all unconsciously, new and surprining
traits, and I felt my heart warming to
him.
"He's a good deal of a man, that
Arthur Holbrook," he remarked aHer
a long pauBe. "He's beyond me. The
man who runs the enemy's lines to
bring relief to the garrison, or the
leader of a forlorn hope, is tame after
this. I suppose the world would call
him a fool."
"Undoubtedly," I answered. "Rut
he didn't do It for the world; he did
it for himself. We can't applaud a
thing like that in the usual phrases."
"No," Gillespie added; "only get
down on our knuees and bow our
heads In the dust before It."
He rose and paced the long terrace.
In his boat-shoe's nnd white flannels
he glided noiselessly back and forth,
like a ghost in the star dusk. He
paused at the western balustrade and
looked oft at St. Agatha's. Then he
passed me and paused again, gazing
lakeward through the wood as though
turning from Helen to Rosalind; and
I knew that it was with her, far over
the water, in the little cottage at Red
Gate, that his thoughts lingered. But
when he came and stood beside me
and rested his hand on my shoulder I
knew thai lie wished lo speak of Hel
en and I took his hand, and spoku to
hint to make it easier." - -- -
"Well, old man!"
"I was. thinking of Helen," he Bald.
"So was I, Buttons."
"They are different, the two. They
are very different."
"They are as like as God ever made
two people; and yet they are differ
ent." "I think you understand Helen. I
never did." he declared, mournfully.
"You don't have to." I replied; and
lehed, and rose and stood behind
hltu. "And now there's something I
want to speak to you about to-night.
Helen borrowed some money of you a
little while ago to meet one of her
father's demands. I expect a draft for
that money by the morning mall, and I
want you to accept It with my thanks,
and hers. And the incident shall pass
as though It had never been."
About one o'clock the wind fresh
ened and tho trees flung out their
arms like runners rushing before It;
and from the west marched a storm
with banners of lightning. It was a
splendid spectacle, and we went in
doors only when the rain beaan to
wash across the terrace. , We st 111
watched It from our windows after
we went upstairs, the lightning now
blazing out bllndlngly, like sheets of
flame from a furnace door, and again
cracking about the house like a fiery
whip.
"We ought to have brought Henry
here tonight," remarked Gillespie.
'H-
"We Ought to Have Brought Henry
Here To-Nlght."

"The lli-htninn's getting on ymr
nerves; eo to hd." I called bark.
The s'orm left pence b"h''i;I and t
was abroad early. c.r;er to have the
!
IS
first shock of the mornings meeting
over. Gillespie greeted me cheerily
and I told him to follow when he was
ready. I went out and paced the walk
between the house and St. Agatha's
and as I peered through the Iron gate
I saw Miss Pat come out of the house
and turn into the garden. I came upon
her walking slowly with her hands
clasped behind her. She spoke first,
as though to avoid any expression of
sympathy, putting out her hand.
Filmy lace at the wrists gave to her
hands a quaint touch akin to that im
parted by the cap on her white head.
I was struck afresh by the background
that seemed always to be sketched In
for her, and just now, beyond the
bright garden. It was a candle-lighted
garret, with trunks of old letters tied
la dim ribbons, and lavender scented
chests of Valenciennes and silks in
forgotten patterns.
"I am well, quite well. Larry!"
"I am glad! I wished to be sure!"
"Do not trouble bout me. I am
glad of eveiy thing that has happened
glad and relieved And I am grate
ful to you."
"I have served you 111 enough. I
stumbled In the dark much of the time.
I wanted to spare you. Miss Pat."
"1 know that; and yon tried to save
Helen. She was blind ar d misguided.
She had believed in her father and the
last blow crushed her. Everything
looks dark to her. She refuses to
come over this morning; she thinks
she can not face her uncle, her cousin
or you again."
"But she must come," I said. "It
will bo easier to day than at any later
time. There's Gillespie, calling me
now. He's going across the lake to
nn-et Arthur and Rosalind. I slwll
take tho launch over to tho Island to
bring Henry. We should all be back
at Glenarm In an hour. Please tell
Helen that we must have her, that no
one should stay away."
Miss Pat looked at me oddly, and
her fingers touched a stalk of holly
hock beside her as her eyes rested
on mine.
"Larry," she said, "do not be sorry
for Helen If pity Is all you have for
her."
I laughed and seized her hands.
"Miss Pat, I could not feel pity
for any one so skilled with the sword
as she! It would be gratuitous! She
put up a splendid fight, and it's to her
credit that she stood by her father
and resented my Interference, as she
had every right to to. She was not
really agalnBt you, Miss Pat; it merely
happened that you were In the way
when she struck at me with the foil,
don't you see?"
"Not Just that way, Larry," and
she continued to gaze at me with a
sweet distress in her eyes; then,
"Rosallno Is very different," she added.
"I have observed it! The ways in
which they are utterly unlike are re
markable; but I mustn't keep Gillespie
waiting. Good by for a little while!
And some foreboding told me that
sorrow had not yet done with her.
. Glllseple shouted Impatiently as I
ran toward him at the boathouse.
"It's the Stiletto," he called, point
lng to where the sloop lay, midway of
the lake. "She's In a bad way."
"The storm blew her out." I sug
gested, but the sight of the boat, list
ing badly, as though water-logged,
struck me ominously.
"We'd better pick her up," he said;
and he was already dropping one of
the canoes Into the water. We pnd
died swiftly toward the sloop. The
Inke was still fretful from the storm's
lashing, but the sky was without fleck
of flaw. The earliest of the little
steamers was crossing from the vil
lage, her whistle edioi.ig snd reecho
lng round the lake.
"The sloop's about done for," Bald
Gillespie over his shoulder; and we
drove our blados deeper. The Stiletto
was floating stem-on and rolling log
glly, hut retaining still. I though!
something of the sinister air that she
had worn on her strange business
through those summer days.
"hue went to bed all right; r- er
sails are furled snug and ever1 it
In shape. The storm drove 1 wer
here," said Gillespie. "She's ftnn-k
something, or somebody's smashed
her."
Jt seemed impossible that the storm
unassisted had blown her from Rattle
Orchard across Lake Annandale; but
we were now close upon her and seek
ing for means of getting aboard.
"She's a bit sloppy," observed Gil
lespie, as we swung round and caught
hold. The water gurgled drunkenly
in the cuddy, and a broken lantern rat
tled on the deck. I held fast as he
climbed over, sending me off a little
as he jumped aboard, and I was work
ing back again with the paddle when
he cried out in alarm.
' Aa I came alongside he came back
to help me, and when he bent over to
catch the painter I saw that his face
was white.
"We might have known it,;' he said.
"It'i the last and worst that could hap
pen." Face down across toe cuddy lay the
body of Henry Holbrook. His water
soaked clothing was torn as though
in a fierce struggle. A knife thrust
la the side told the story; he had
crawled to the cuddy roof to get away
from the water and had died there.
"It was the Italian." said Gillespie.
"They must hnve had a row lant night
after we left them, and It came to
this. He chopped a hole In the Stilet
to and set her adrift to sink."
I looked about for the steamer,
which was baching away from the pier
at Port Ann.fidale, and signaled her
with my handkerchief. And when I
faced Gillespie iiriln- he pointed hL
letitly toward tho lower Into whet
i-r.noe rode the tirtunt water.

HARROW
PoIir.A Dicenver f irm in I nifin
of Byron Clark
Last evening Chief of Police Raiuey
and Officer Nltka saved the city from
what might have been a disastrous
conflagration. They were standing
In front of L. U. Egenberger's store
when a bla.e was noticed In the of
fice of Byrcn Clark. At first Chief
Ralney believed that the fire was
caused from a gasoline stove as the
flames seemed to come from some
thing of that kind and he paid little
attention to It. Officer Nltka watched
the blaze and concluded It was a fire
and so told the chief. They ran
across the street and found the door
of the office closed and locked. They
broke In the door and found the
room filled with smoke.
It required no search to show
where the fire came from. The fire
originated In a drawer in Mr. Clark's
table and had burned quite a bit of
the table and destroyed some very
valuable papers. The offlefr apeed
lly extinguished the fire and then
left the office, attempts to reach
Mr. Clark were unavailing as he was
not t home and was looking aftr
business In another part of the city.
He was finally located and came to
his offiee. Accompanied by Officer
Nitka and a Journal representative
a visit was paid to the office and th'
destroyed property looked over. Mr.
Clark was unable to say definitely
just what the loss was as It consist
ed of valuable papers but It Is quite
large. The fire probably originated
from- a cigar stub thrown In the
drawer.
The main feature of the fire wan
the fact that it was discovered In
time to prevent It spreading and
burning valuable property. Mr.
Clark '8 library Is one of the best lav
libraries In the state and Is worth
many thousands of dollars. Had It
been destroyed and tho building
burned the loss would have been
probably $15,000 at least. It Is a
matter of congratulation that the po
lice exercised good discretion and
put out the fire without waiting for
the fire department. It is more prob
able that the wait would have been
more disastrous and the resulting loss
would have been very large.
Find the Porker.
Carl Kunsman thought for a few-
days thai he had lost a fine pig. As
Is well known Kunsman & Ramge
hate slaughter pens northwest of the
city and they keep their own cattle
and hogs there, killing them as they
need them. They had a number of
fine hogs In the pens and In looking
them over they found that they were
short one fine hog. A careful Bearch
was made of the premises and no
hog was found. Concluding they
were simply short a hog which had
gotten out and run away or which
had been sotlen, they made no effort
to locate It further and figured they
were Just short that much.
Lo! and behold! Sunday Chief
Ralney and J. E. McDanlel went out
to Plntte bottom searching, for truf
fles and what happened? They con
cluded to stop nt the pens of Kuns
man & Ramgo snd go tip through
the pens and on to the hills In their
senrch. In so doing they found n
fine bed of leaves which looked In
viting and likely to have something
they wanted. They started to dig
into It and were surprised to find a
live one which had burrowed Into
the brush and leaves. Investigation
disclosed that the lost hog was there
and they had unearthed It at once
tearing away the bush and leaves. It
was very poor from Its fasting but
seemed to be all right otherwise.
After they had finished their
search ror truffles which by the wav,
resulted In nothing, they came back
and Informed Messrs. Kinsman and
Ramge that tho lost was found and
the porker was safe in tho pens.
What gets everyone Is how the ani
mal ever came to burrow Into the
brush and how It managed to live
as long as It did without food or
water Is a wonder.
