CHAPTER XXII.
A Heart fcr a Life.
In the depressing loneliness of a
strange hotel Stella's fears returned,
multiplied by the hours they had
rested. Impatiently she paced the
small room. She had no watch to
count the minutes. But that the sun
still shone on the mountain above her,
she would have declared it already
night.
Where was Uncle Billy? Why hadn't
he come to take her to dinner?
Innocent Stella! She knew nothing
cf Mrs. Grundy's code; suspected no
whit of the reason for Uncle Billy's
aloofness. In Colfax, under Sally B.'s
powerful wing, where Uncle Billy was
known and approved, no one would
have dared a breath against her. But
it was very different in this feverish
city. Good women were few. Honest
men. toiling for loved ones away,
jostled the blackleg, the gambler, the
man of many aliases; and petticoated
vice preyed upon its authors, and
sorely beset clean hearts as well. A
beautiful friendless girl must indeed
be hedged by angels if she were to run
safely the gantlet of this "wickedest
city in the world."
She left her room and wandered
about in search of the parlor; came
upon it at last—small, stuffy and
possessed by several overdressed, be
diamended women, who stared at her
brazenly and openly commented on
her. As from a pestilence, she fled to
her own corridor again, hesitating be
fore her door. But vanquished by
thought of the desolation within, she
dropped the key in her pocket and
began walking the narrow hall, darker,
emptier than her room, but open at
either end to human approach. Here
the hall boy found her, bringing a
message from Uncle Billy to meet him
in the parlor.
Stella thought of it a litt’e resentful
ly as she hurried on, recalling the in
hospitable occupants. But they were
gone; and at sight of Uncie Billy's
cheery face she forgot they had ever
been.
He came to her with outstretched
hands. "As I told you, honey, Vin
A- cent's O. K. He's—”
“Here?” she interrupted impetu
ously.
*
-no; ne aian i come tnrougn. none'.
Blodgett, the driver, said he got off at
Carson. Cadwalladeh met him; they
seemed tp have business togetheh."
■'Oh:” The long-drawn exclamation
*as all of Stella’s reply; and he hoped
she would ask no questions.
“You must shut those sweet peepehs
of yo’s sharp afteh suppeh; get right
smart of sleep to-night, fo' you must
start home early in the mawning.”
“’Gideon—where do you suppose he
is. Uncle Billy?”
He had dreaded the words. “Honey,
why do you pesteh yo'self about Gid
eon? If Vincent's doing business with
anotheh man, both of them C. P. fel
lows, how can Gideon get in any devil
try?”
Stella was not reassured. “But,
Uncle Billy, Phineas Cadwallader's no
protection; he hates Alfred. And why
didn’t we see Gideon on the way? He
must have come in ahead of us—must
be here now. and— If I could only get
word from Alfred!”
“Shall I telegraph for you?”
She shrank back. “Oh, no. He
wouldn't wish me to send him mes
sages over the wires.”
“I'll fix that. He won’t know yo're
heah.”
That will be good; thank you. I'm
such a trouble to you, Uncle Billy!
And my trip has been quite useless,
she added wearily.
“Not useless, honey. You brought
me luck—won the race for us.”
She smiled. “I hope 1 ’1 bring you
more luck. I'll go heme with you to-;
morrow.”
“That’s right, child. Good-bye till
mawning. Have sweet dreams.”
"Good-bye?” she echoed wondering-1
: ly. “Aren't you going to stay here i
to-night? Take me in to supper."
He winced before her steady eyes, |
and lied heroically. I have a heap to
do befo' I'll be ready for the trip
home; and I won't have time to see
you again. Eat a good suppeh. child,
wdh't you? Have you money to pay
! for it?”
“Not a two-bit piece. Uncle Billy.
You pay for me, won't you? And book
me. too? I'll have it for you when we
get home."
She was surprised by his silence and
nervousness. He opened his purse
quickly, and forced some money upon
her. his embarrassment increasing as
he locked furtively through each open
door while pressing her hand shut
over the coin. “Take that,” he whis
pered.'You must pay yo' own bills, and
; book yo'self, honey. Don't ask me ,
why!” he added as she opened her lips
to speak.
Instantly he was gone, leaving her
to puzzle out the matter for herself.
But the need for dissembling her re-1
lations with Uncle Billy, whom she
had known longer than any one living
save Gideon, did net dawn upon her.
Supper alone was less an ordeal j
1 than she had expected. On her return !

The Message Was Cruel.
to her room she met the hall boy and
j ordered pen and paper. She had bare
[ ly seated herself to write when a dis
i patch interrupted her; it was ad
dressed to William Dodge, and was
from Alfred at Carson City. “Am de
| tamed here. Will be in Colfax on the
! thirtieth.”
In the reaction of relief she wrote a
I short, almost happy letter to Alfred
sending it to post by the hail boy. The
! next day they faced homeward. Xc
j other passenger shared the box seal
i with Stella; and leisurely, a little shy
j ly, she told Uncle Billy of her plans foi
j school, and received his advice, heart
. felt, if not always wise.
At Dutch Flat she stopped to visil
an acquaintance, timing her home
! going for Uncle Billy's next trip, hop
ing vainly that Alfred would be with
him. It was indeed a home-coming!
Days only she had been awray; they
seemed weeks. Sally B., Viola. Yic
Wah, even the dog, greeted her over
poweringlv. Suddenly she realized
with a heart-wrench her leaving ii
would be.
“Here's a letter for you,” Sally B
said, when Stella was at last free. "I!
came yesterday.”
She took it, but paled with quick
fear when she saw the strange hand
writing. She hastened to her room
There was neither date, address, not
signature; but the message was cruel.
“Stella Anthony: Alfred Vincent's
life is in your hands. Send to the ad
dress below within one week after
1 October 30 your written word that
| you will marry Gideon Ingram, and
Vincent shall go free. Refuse to dc
this and he shall die. Return this let
ter with your answer, or it will not
avail.”
In the postscript were directions for
address; but Stella did not read them,
j She thrust the sinister sheet out ol
! sight in her pocket; yet the words
burned in her brain, written there for
ever. Motionless, she gazed at the
wall in a useless endeavor to think.
Darkness fell. StJl she stood there,
leaning against the wall now, though
she had no memory of moving. A step
caught her ear. She started up. in
tent on defending herself against in
j lerruption. The Chinese boy s harsh
side—beside obeying. How can I do
that? Yet how can I be Alfred's—
mur—murderer?" She shuddered at
the word.
' Perhaps this is only a threat from
some enemy of Gideon's to get him
into trouble."
“Oh. no," Stella answered, remem
bering the last look she had seen in
Gideon's face. “I'm sure it—I'm sure
Gideon knows of it.”
“Oh. pshaw. Miss Stella! Gid Ing
ram wouldn't do such a scurvy trick.'
"Alvin, you don't know. He has
I tried to make me marry him.
Alvin reflected again. Suddenly his
face was illuminated. “There's a wav.
and it's sure—marry me!”
"What? Alvin!" She half rose,
angry that he could jest at such a
moment. But, no. his face was seri
ous. Y’et it was too absurd, impos
sible!
“Not really, of course, but so far as

Chary of Compliments.
"Do you really mean it, Mr. Spooner,
i when you say I am the best girl in
the world?" asked Miss Flypp, after
the young man had suggested that
she should become Mrs. Spooner.
"Indeed, I do, Miss Flypp,” assever
ated the young man. ”1 say it again—
you are the best girl in the world.”
"And the loveliest, 1 think you
said?”
"The loveliest, without doubt."
"I think you said something about
my accomplishments, too?”
"I did. I said they excelled those
of any other girl.”
"I believe you called me sweet?”
“ ‘A sweeter woman ne'er drew
breath.’ Quoted the ardent lover.
You used the word 'perfect,' too,
did you net?”
voice came through the door telling
her that Alvin waited in the parlor to
say good-bye.
She went into the parlor. Alvin, a
man in years, yet ever the buoyant
boy, sprang forward with outstretched
hands to greet her.
"Oh. Miss Stella, the 50 miles are
done! Done 'p°n honor, too. The
commissioners have examined and ac
cepted the work. They say it's O. K.
and the government’s bound to re
ceive it. And the blamed strike that
broke out yesterday won't hinder the
C. P. a mite; they've got more men
coming on the sly. I'm going to my
Sacramento office in the morning. I
came to say good— Why, Miss Stella!
What's the matter?"
His exuberance was a tonic. Stella's
numb heart began to beat a little color
to her lips, hope to her soul. Yet she
did not speak, though she smiled.
“What is it, Miss Stella?" Alvin re
peated. "You look as if you'd died
and come back, though not all of you.
There’s awful things in—your face!"
"And in my heart, too. Alvin. Oh,
Alvin, I—” She grew cold again, and
was silent.
Tactful Alvin said nothing, but push
ing a chair behind her pressed her
gently into it. He did not release her
hand, but stroked it softly, waiting for
her to speak.
Suddenly she started up. This was
the thirtieth, and—a week, the letter
had said! And she did not know now
far the answer was to go. Precious
time had already been wasted. It
was ages since she read those awful
words. She must do something, tell
some one, get help. Alvin! He was
the one. She put the letter in his
hand. "Read it. quick!" she com
manded.
He complied, starting at the first
words, then reading on quietly, through
the postscript directions, and end.ng
with a careful scrutiny of the en
velope. Stella watched him anxiously,
wondering. ev< n in her preoccupation,
at the maturity and wisdom that came
into his face at emergency’s call. "Oh,
Alvin, there must be some way be
any one ruse knows. Elope with me to
night! '
His daring idea was suggestive of an
other. "No, Alvin, not even to save
Alfred Vincent could I do that. Sui
cide is cowardly, yet I'd rather kill
myself than seem to be so fickle, to
betray dear little Viola.”
‘‘Miss Stella, don't speak of suicide!
And Viola’d know how it was. of
course. But there's other ways, if you
won't accept my offer.” He smiled
boyishly in spite of the tragic moment.
"Yes, there's another way; I shall
disappear, just drop out of sight. And
you'll help me, won't you? This very
night?”
"Yes, indeed. This night is the
only time I could do it, too. I'm to
work nights after this.”
“Can you get me away secretly, Al
vin? Have you any plan?”
“Yes, I can fix it. I know a man—
he's a friend of mine, and as close
mcuthed as a dumb one. I’ll get his
team and start you on your way to
Sacramento, or to the Bay, as you
think best. I'd say San Francisco; it's
bigger, you can hide safer there.”
“Yes, that will be better. But you,
Alvin—”
“Oh, don't worry about me. I'll be
back here before daylight, and take
j the train to-morrow. Every one knows
I I'm to go to Sacramento.”
Stella was silent.
“Got any money?”
“Net much. My trip to Virginia took
: most of it.”
“Well, don't fidget over that. I’ve
a couple of hundred I can lend you
as well as not; and you can take your
time to pay. No matter if it's never.
And maybe Sally B. can think up a
better trick fer you.”
“O, Alvin, you're so good! Thank—”
She could not trust her v,;ice, yet after
i a struggle went on. “I'm sure, Alvin,
| we've thought of the only way. But
I we will tell— What time must we
1 start?”
“Not later than midnight. You bet
ter get everything fixed before ten.
and let the house get plumb dark an
hour or so before.”
“Very well. I'll have my letter writ
ten in a half-hcur. Will jou come for
it and mail it at once?”
He nodded.
"And Alvin, will you stay here while
1 talk it all over with Sally B.? 1
want no misunderstanding of what we
are to do.”
Alvin assented and she left him.
There was no hesitation now. A
strange calmness pervaded her. With
out hesitancy or revising she wrote
the words that were to separate her
from her past, that were to bind her
to a life of lonely hiding.
"Not to save any man's life, or even
my own." she wrote, "will I marry
Gideon Ingram. This much I promise,
however. I will leave this place
and all who know me. I will
hide so securely that it will be
useless for any one to seek me.
And I will never meet Alfred Vin
cent. communicate with him. or re
ceive communication from him until
Gideon Ingram himself gives permis
sion.”
She signed the letter, directed and
sealed the envelope and went down
stairs.
"You pore little critter!” Sally E.
cried, flying to her w ith open arms as
she entered. "Al's told me the hull
blamed layout! Blast that durned
Injun!" She felt Stella tremble in her
arms. "Don't be afeard. honey! You've
got friends. Men Bill'll stand by ye.
You've struck the only thing to do, I
reckon.”
Stella steed erect and was silent.
The others watched#ier without speak
ing. waiting on her mood. At last she
raced them.
"This step changes all my life.
Please tell I'ncie Billy the—the best
thing you can think of, Mrs. Sally,”
Stella said, the words coming slowly,
as if she were thinking out her plan
as she went. "From this time I shall
be Esther Anthony. Only you. Mrs.
Sally, shall know where I am. or what
I'm doing. Uncle Billy and Alvin—
you're so good, Alvin—they can know
cf me through you. Will you keep my
secret, Sally Bernard, sacredly?”
"It's thunderin’ noble, this thing
that yore goin' to do, Stella; an' I'll
promise, an' keep my mouth shet O. K.
if you likewise promise to always let
me know where yo're a-hanging out.
Do you?”
Yes,” Stella said, and walked to the
w hidow. speechless. No sound es
caped her, but Sally B. saw her shoul
ders lift and tremble, and flew to her,
comforting her with a love that Stella
knew would never fail. When Alvin
came at miduight the hotel was dark
and silent. Not a glimmer of light
came from behind the curtains where
Sally B. watched with wet eyes while
Steila drove away, her head turned to
ward that w indow as long as she could
see it.
The next morning Sally B. joi#ed
her excited conjectures with the most
eager of the questioning gossips. And
none who listened to her lurid remarks
upon Stella's flight dreamed that her
aching heart was following the soli
tary, fleeing girl.
