LANG HAM led Lcr daughter M straight to Ler room, and when they were inside she closed tlie door and sank into a chair. luitnig from her rapid walk. "What is it, mother?" Cora demand ed. "You ouxlit to understand, heaven knows!" Mrs. Lanjrhani cried. "Haven't 'you heard about Howard Tins ley?" "Yes. but what" "Well, you have ordinary sense, I'm sure," Mrs. Lanham Cared out. "This whole town and a few even down at home have been connecting your name wirh that boy's for the last two months. I said nothing because you've had harmless affairs witit all sorts of 3-oung men everywhere we've ever spent the summer, But this is differ ent. You've entertained him at our house. The Atlanta papers, because lie was a sort of editor, made mention of hi visit to us. We are tied up in this terrible affair, I tell you. Your father will be furious enough to di own you, and folks ia the hotel here are actually asking me if you and th;:t young jailbird are not engaged.'-' Stunned beyond utterance over what had hapi'ened prior to this tirade, Cora sank into a chair near a window. She could think of only one tiling now. and that was the calamity which had befallen her friend. "Why don't you talk? Say some thing, for God's sake!" Mrs. Lan?hani groaned. "What are we going to do?" "Do? Why, mother, what can we do? It is not our fault. We can't help what" "We can do something, and we must do something, and without delay," the older woman broke in. "We can pack as quickly as possible and get away from this silly town. The papers will announce our return to Atlanta, and the public will at least know that we are not here backing the man up, no matter what the gossips may try to make out of his past attentions to you. If we stay here they willa.yvou are :hea rt broken. And who do yon think would care to marry a girl under a cloud like that?" "So you would have me turn against "him the moment he is in trouble," Cora answered. "Howard will know why we left town, and that will add to his humiliation. He may be innocent, moth er. They say he denies it outright." "Of course he would deny it! What fool wouldn't under the circumstances? Don't argue with me, Cora. I'm your mother, and right now I have a clearer head than you have. You will live to see the day you will be glad I forced you to be sensible. We've got to get away today on the first train." "Do you mean to say that you actual ly want to stay?" Mrs. Langham ex claimed, rising and striding heavily to her daughter's chair and standing over her. "I don't know what I want," Cora muttered despondently. "I don't don't know how I feel toward him. I don't know my own heart. I don't know that I hare a heart like most girls, but I know I cm sorry for Howard and do not want to accuse him by running awav like this. His other friends" Cora was thinking in dismay of Mary Trumbley "will not turn against him. "What if they don't?" burst from the desperate matron's lips. "What have 'So you would have me turn against him the moment he is in trouble, Cora answered. tl:c got ai stake. u ur.uu them outside of this little town? It is different with you. The papers will . . 1 H'l I .-... .1 . .C want to uiuiveci uiuvu ft.-ii.-..! tiv-Mi - they can out of it. I see the line they wi'l pursue. They will say that a pop ular Atlanta girl is staying here to be cies to his i;eil every day. You've got THE IJI to be sensible." Out of breath Mrs. Langdon paused. Cora sat mute, pale and almost quiver ing for several minutes. Then she arose. She drew herself up to her full height, and. going to her bureau, she looked at her face in the mirror. Talc ing up "i powder puff, she applied some pink powder to her cheeks and gen tly touched it with her handkerchief. Cora faced her mother calmly. "Yes. I've got to decide I've got to be sensi ble and have it over with," she said deliberately. "lie and I are not en gaged. He has never even said in so tinny words that he loved me. It was just a game, mother: but it was the most interesting one I was over in. I know his worth, and if ,he 'were to tell me he is innocent I'd believe him. I have been spoiled nil my life, but T long for something more genuine and decider than I have ever had. Every oilier man that is attracted to me has been attracted by my position and money; but it was not so with Howard, All along I have seen that he despised what I have. All along I hate seen that if I could have thrown it away and become, of my own volition, as pvoi as he is for his sake, he would have loved me. But I aiu not unself ish enough. There is a streak of the practical the habit of grasping the safe side in me which came from you or father, or both, that holds me in check. "You needn't be afraid that I will act foolishly," she went on. "I loathe my self for it, but when I heard of the murder and the likelihood ot Howard's arrest my hrst thought was of myself. I shall look out for our Interests as carefully as you would." "You've got a lot more sense than I gave you credit lor having, Mrs. Langham breathed, in relief. "I have less heart, that's all," Cora said bitterly. "I begin to think that the possession of material advantages in life means doing without something finer and more lasting. I got that from Howard. lie reads, and I don't. I'll either not marry at all or I'll marry without deep love or even admiration. Mother, Mary Trumbley the girl you admired loves Howard unselfishly. She would go to jail with him today if she had a chance. It may be that he will establish his innocence. It may be that she will help him do it, and then" "They will marry and lie happy ever afterward." ' Mrs. Langham made the jest in sheer elation, over her daugh ter's precaution. "Yes," Cora replied, "and prove by a life of genuine happiness and whole some simplicity that the thing you and I strive for and hold so tightly is worthless absolutely worthless. But that is neither here nor there," Cora sighed. "All of us who are born to the possession of means enough to in sure us a life of empty idleness simply go without a higher life. I heard a sermon once about Christ and the rich young" manT 1 now see that the"young man was simply , bound hand and foot bv the belief that he could not do without the very things I am clinging to. Christ was doing without weaitu. and he knew the spiritual freedom of it You and I and father and all our set in Atlanta are slaves. A person striving to acquire money would laugh at this statement, but one striving for spiritual possessions would know what I mean. I am swaying between two X 1X1 I lit U k 1 VI .-n a " , , . ' I am, I'm tired and sick of the life we live. - - The lfres of these mountain j.k?o ple contrasted to my own make my heart ache from sheer emptiness. Some things tells me that if I had been born here of poor parents Howard Tinsley and I would be fighting the obstacles of life side by side" "For heaven's sake, what is the mat ter with you?" Mrs. Langham inter rupted. "You are not like yourself." "I really don't want to le like my old self," Cora answered, her pretty lijws twitching. "But you need not be afraid. I shall do as you wish. I shall do it because there is nothing else for a woman in my position to do be cause, in a sense, it is my duty." "Then we'll pack up at once." Mrs Langham said, with a deep breath. "Nix Listen, mother." Cora turned square around. "I am able to see both sides of the matter. If I were to give up my part in the play that the young people are getting up and run off to day there really would be room -for talk. If we stay on here and act as If we have no vital connection with the the awful affair, no one will dare to to connect my name with it either here or down at home." "You may be right," the older wom an agreed, "'ow that I think of it, your father would wonder why we changed, our plans,for I wrote him only the other day that we'd stay an other month." "Yes, we'll stay," Cora said firmly "Now, I'm going back to the hall. They will need me to go over my part with the rest. Mother, you can trust me. I shan't make a fool of myself." Mrs. Tinsiey soon visited Howard in his cell and was glad to find him con fident of a speedy release. lassing through the gate, Mrs. Tins ley trudged down the street to the ho tel and entered at one of the side doors. Going into the office, she found Sugart at the desk looking over the register. "How are yon, Mrs. Tinsiey?" He greeted her in surprise, a blended look of sympathy and embarrassment set tling on his face She pushed her bonnet farther back and leaned against the desk. "How ard has a room here, I believe," she said. "Y'es, Mrs. Tinsiey; one flight up. to the right down the hall." "I want to sleep thar tonight if you have no objections," she said. "I 1 want to le close to Howard and" "Oh. it is all right," Sugart declared. "Howard will be glad to have it ooc'u pied, I know, and we'll do all we can for your comfort. Doyou want to go up now? If you do, I'll show yen my-clf." He led her up to the room. "Anything I can do for you?" "If you see my husband please tell him not to wait fer me." she said. "Tvl im I'm gohf to stay in town fer awhile." "All right. Mrs. Tinsiey, I'll tell him. He's on the street, and I'll find him and let him know." Mrs. Tinsiey had a simple supper hi her son's room that evening, and when it was quite dark she slipped out into the street. The yard of the courthouse adjoin ing the jail was large, well shaded and grown with grass. No one was there, and she passed through the gate and went in. seeking a point from which she could see the window opposite her sou's cell. She heard the gate click. and a moment later a tall figure loomed up close to her. It was Abncr Daniel. 'I mtTi Hirain driving out," Abner began. "He said you was goin' to stay at the hotel awhile. I called tLar to see you. They sent up to yore room and said you was out. I looked sev eral places i:v you an' finally come here. I've got my buggy ready. I waix to take you back home." She took off her bonnet, and as she twist d it in her hands he saw a grim purpose gleaming in her eyes. "1 won't go," she said. "I'm -goin" to stay right here on this spot till sunrise. I know what I want, an I want to do that. My child is up thar in confine ment, Abncr Daniel, a I'm his moth er that's enough to say I'm his moth er. You' don't know how I feel. Not a livin' man or woman on this earth can have the slightest idea of it. Hi ram says thar's a hell. I used to want to dispute it. I won't a bit longer, not from this hour forth, fer ef this" she raised both her hands and beat her breast "ef this agony kin be put 011 a woman that cayn't tell wharift she's sinned in all "ber life thar must be some'n' as bad set aside fer the wick ed. Y'ou are a wise man, Abner Dan iel, fer our day an' time. The Bible speaks of folks that was advised to cuss God an die. Tell me how to cuss im then tell me how to die." Abner hung fire a moment, "You can't cuss God, Cynthia Tins ley,"' he answered sharply., "No livin' -creatur' kin cuss God. Everything that is is of God an" from God. an ef you could cxiss God it would le God cussin' hisr-e'f." She put on her bonnet and held out her hands wide apart. Her bonnet slid slowly backward and was kept from falling only by the strings tied beneath her chin. "All that keeps me from cussin' 'im is that this night I hain't sure thar is sech a bein'. I have fought unbelief all my life, savin' I believed this an that fool statement jest to keep from standin' in the way o other folks that was seekin salvation: but tonight I know by my own feeliu's that thar is only one ruler- that could torture folks as me an mine is bein' tortured, an that is the devil." "Hush, hush! You must hush!" Ab ner said softly. (To En Continued.) Shetland Tcny For Sale. Fine Shetland pony for sale cheap at S100. Call on William Gilmour, Plattsmouth, E. F. D.
