"Do you mean to toll tno that you have not talked with your father that you havo not Been him here?" I bo Bought, "Yos; I hnve Boon hltn once, mul It was by accident. It was quite by uc cldent." "Yea; I know of that" "Then you havo been spying upon me, Mr. Donovan!" "Why did you tell mo that outrage ously foollah tule nbout your chess gamo, when I knew exactly where you wcro at tho very hour you would hnvc had me think you were dutifully en gaged with your aunt? It scorns to me, my dear Mls.s Ilolbrook, that that is not so easy of explanation, even to my poor wits." "That was without purpose; really It was! I was restless and weary from so much confinement; you can't know how dreary these late years havo been for us for me and I wished just onco to bo freo. I went for a long walk Into tho country. And If you saw me, If you watched me " I gazed at her blankly. Tho thing could not havo been better dono on the stage; but Miss Pat was walking toward us, and I put au cud to the talk. "I camo upon him by accident I had no Idea he was here," sho per sisted. "You aro not growing tired of us," began Miss Pat, with her bravo, beau tiful smile; "you aro not anxious to be rid or us?" "I certainly am not," I replied. "I can't tell you how glad I am that you havo decided to remain here. I am qulto suro that with a Utile patience we shall wear out tho besiegers. Our position here has, you may say, the strength of its weakness. I think tho policy of tho enemy Is to harass you by guerrilla methods to annoy you and frighten you Into submission." "Yos; I believe you aro right," sho said slowly. Helen had walked on, and I loitered besldo Miss Pat. "I hope you have had no misgivings, Miss Pat, 8lnco our talk yesterday." "None whatever," she replied, quick ly. "I am qulto persuaded In my own mind that I should havo been bolter off If I hnd mado a stand long ngo. I don't believe cowardlco ever pays, do you?" Sho smiled tip at mo in her quick, bright way, and I was moro than over her Blave. "Miss Ilolbrook, you are tho bravest woman In tho world! I bellovo you nro right. I think I should bo equal to ten thousand men with your spirit to put heart Into me." "Don't bo foolish," sho said, laugh ing. "Hut to show you that I am not really afraid, supposo you offer to tnko us for a drivo this evening. I think it would be well for mo to appear today, Just to show tho enemy that we aro not driven to cover by our llttlo ad venture lu tho launch yesterday." "Certainly! Shall wo carry out riders and a rear guard?" "Not a bit of It. I think wo may bo able to shamu my brother out of his evil Intentions by ourdcfonselessnoss." Wo waited for Holen to rejoin us, and the drivo was planned for flvo. Promptly on the hour, after a day of activity on my part In cruising tho Jnke, looking for signs of tho unomy, wo set fortli In an open trap, nnd plunged Into country roads that trav ersed territory new to all of us. I car ried Ijlma along, and when, after a fow miles, Helen asked to tako tho reins, I changed seats with hor, and guvo myself up to talk with Miss Pat. Tho girl's mood was grave, and sho wished to drive, I fancied, as an ex cuse for fillenco. The land rolled grad ually away Into tho south and west, and wo halted, lu an hour or so, far from tho lako, on a wooded eminence that commanded a long sweep In overy direction, and drow Into tho roadsldo. Ijlma opened a gato that admitted us to a superb maple grove, and In a fow minutes wo woro having tea from tho hamper In tho cbicrlcst mood In tho world. Tho sun was contriving now marvels In tho west, and tho wood that dipped lakoward bonoath us gave an Illusion of thick tapestry to tho ejc. -A-. f "M r3oni I 1 LQ W lit ,. .iiitl I II iv v If Zr vWj L HJ 9 WhHiiII Mi III IIIIm' ' lllllllllllllllill tv PHJinillilllll III I IIHIIIiVu'm m ra Vy l III) ' 0 in I I Ml I aftnuufal i lykiM fYci He Stepped Close to "Wo could almost walk to tho lake over tho ttees," said Miss Pat. "It's a charming picture." Then, as wo all turned to the hike, seeing It afar across tho tree-tops through tho fragrant twilight, I saw tho Stiletto standing out boldly upon tho waters of Annandalo. with a lan guid Impudence that I began to as sociate with its slim outlines and snowy canvas. Other craft were abroad, and Miss Pat, 1 Judged, spoke only of tho prottlness of tho general landscape, nnd there was, to bo sure, no reason why the sails of the Stiletto should have had any particular .signifi cance for her. Helon wns still looking down upon tho lake when Miss Pat suggested that we should go home; and oven after her aunt called to her, tho girl Ht til stood, ono hnnd resting upon tho trunk of a great beech, her gaze bent wistfully, mournfully to ward tho lake. Hut on tho hoinoward drive she had asked for tho reins again her mood changed abruptly, and sho talked cheerily, often turning her head a scarlet-banded sailor hat was, I thought, remarkably becoming to chaff about her skill with tho reins. "I haven't a earn or trouble In tho world," declared Miss Pat when I left them at St. Agatha's. "I am suro that wo havo known tho worst that can happen to us in Annandulc. I refuse to be a bit frightened aftor that drivo." "It wns charming," said Helen. "This is better than tho English lako country, because it Isn't so smoothed out." "I will grant you all of that," I said. "I will go further and admit what Is much for mo that it is almost equal to Killarney." There seemed to bo sincerity In their good spirits, and I was mysolf refreshed and relieved as I drove into Glenarm; but I arranged for the same guard ns on tho night before. Helen Holbrook's doublo-deallng created n condition of affairs that demnnded cautious handling, nnd I had no Inten tion of being caught napping. From tho window of my room I saw tho Japanese boy patrolling tho walks- of St. Agatha's. A buckboard of young sters from Port Annandnle passed In tho road, leaving u trail of song be hind them. Then tho frog choruses from tho little brook thnt lay hidden lu tho (ilonarm wood sounded In my cars with maddening iteration, and I sought tho opon. Tho provlous night I had mot Helon Ilolbrook by tho stono seat on tho ridge, and I cannot deny that It was with tlio hope of Hoolng hor again thnt I set forth. Sho wns beautiful with a rare lovollness nt all times, yot I found myself wondering whether, on tho strango frontlors of love, It was her during duplicity that appealed to mo. I set myself stubbornly Into a pillory reared of my own shame at tho thought, and wont out and climbed upon tho Olonarm wall nnd stared at tho dark hulk of St. Agatha's as I pun ished mysolf for having ontortalned nny othor thought of Holon Ilolbrook than of a weak, vain, ungrateful girl, capable of making snd mlschlof for hor bonofnetor. Ijlma passod and repassed In tho pavod walk that curved among tho school buildings; I hoard his stop, and marked his pauses as ho met tht gar dener at tho front door by an nrrango mont that t had suggested. Aa I con Me Threateningly. sidered tho matter I concluded that Helen Ilolbrook could readily slip out nt the back of the house, when tho guards thus met, and that she had thus found egress on the night before. At this moment tho two guards met precisely at the front door, and to my surprise Sister Margaret, In the brown garb of her sisterhood, stepped out, nodded to thu watchmen In tho light of the overhnnglng lamp, and walked slowly round tho buildings and toward tho lake. Tho men promptly resumed their patrol. Tho sister slipped away like a shadow through the garden; nnd I dropped down from tho wall In sldo tho school park and slolo niter her. Tho guards were guilty of no Impropriety in passing hor; there was, to bo sure, no reason why Sister Mar garet should not do precisely as sho liked at St. Agatha's. However, my curiosity was piqued, and I crept quiet ly along through tho young maples that fringed tho wall. Sho followed a path that led down to the pier, and I hung back to watch, still believing that Sister Margaret had gono forth merely to enjoy the peace and beauty of the night. 1 paused lu a little thick et, and heard her light Btep on tho plor (looting; nnd I drew ns near as I dared, In the shadow of tho boathouse. Sho stood besldo tho upright staff from which tho plor lights swung the whlto lantern between tho two red ones looking out across tho lako. Tho lights outlined her tall figure distinct ly. Sho peered about anxiously sev eral times, and I heard the impatient tap of hor foot on tho planks. In tho lake sounded tho faint gurglo of water round a paddle, and lu a moment a canoo glided to tho pier nnd a man stepped out. He bent down to seize the painter, and I half turned away, ashamed of tho sheer curiosity that had drawn mo after tho sister. Nuns who chafe at their prison bars nto not now, either to romance or history; nnd this surely was no nlTnlr of mine. Then tho man stood up, and I saw that it wus Gillespie. Ho was hatless, und his nruiB were bared. Ho began to spenk, but alio quieted him with a word; and as with a gesturo she Hung back her brown hood, I Haw that It was Helen Ilolbrook. "I hnd given you up," sho snld. Ho took both hor hands and held them, bending toward hor eagerly. She seemed taller than ho lu tho lantern light. "I should havo como across tho world," ho said. "You must bellovo that I should not havo asked this of you If I hnd not be lieved you could do It without Injury to yourself that It would Imposo no great burden on you, nnd that you would not think too HI of me" "I love you; I am here bocauso I lovo you!" ho said; und I thought hot ter or him than I hud. Ho was a fool, and weak; but ho was, I bellovcd, an honest fool, and my heart grow hot with Jenlous rage as I saw thorn there together. "If thoro is moro I cun do!" "No; and I should not nsk you If thoro woro. I havo gono too tar, us it Is," sho sighed. "You must tako no risks; you must tnko car,o that Miss Pat knows noth ing." "No; I muBt see father. Ho must go away. I bellovo ho has lost his sensos from brooding on his troubles." "Hut how did ho ovor get horo? Thoro Is something very strango about it." "Oh, I knew lie would follow usl Hut I did not tell him I wns coming bore I hope you did not believe that of me. I did not toll him any moio than I told you." lie laughed softly. "You did not need to tell mo; I could have found you nny where iu tho woiM. Helen. That man Donovan Is watching v on like a hawk; but he'ii a pretty good fellow, with n Milesian Joy In a row. lie's going to protect MIkh Pat and ou If ho dies at tho busi ness." She shrugged her shoulders, nnd I saw her disdain of me In her fnco. A pretty conspiracy this was, and I HoemOd to bo only the crumpled wrap plni: of a pack of cards, with no part lu tho game. Gillespie drew an envelope from his pocket, held It to tho white lantein for an Instant, then gnve It to her. "I telegraphed to Chicago for a draft. He will have to leave hero to get It the bank at Annandalo carries no such sum; and It will bo a means of getting rid of him." "Oh, I only hope ho will leave ho must- ho must!" she cried. "You must go hack," he said. "These matters will all come right In tho end. Helen," ho added, kindly. "There In ono thing I do not understand. "Tho thing that troubles mo Is that your father was here before you." "No that Isn't possible; 1 can't be llovo It." "Ho had engaged tho Stiletto berore you came to Annandnle; nnd while I wns tracing you across the country he wus already here somewhere. Ho amuses himself with tho yacht." "Yes, I know; he Is moro of a men ace that way always In our night always where 1 must see him!" Her face, clearly lighted by tho lan terns, was. touched with anxiety and sorrow, and I saw her, with that pret tiest gesture of woman's thousand graces the nimble touch that makes suro no errant bit of hair has gono wandering lift her hand to her head for a moment. The emerald ting Hashed In the lantern light. I recall a thought that occurred to me there that the widow's peak, so sharply marked In her forehead, was like thu llnger-pi hits of some playful god. Sho turned to go, but he caught her bands. "Helen!" he cried, softly. "No! Please don't!" Sho threw the nun's hood over her head anil walked rapidly up the pier and stole away through tho garden to ward St. Agatha's. Gillespie listened for her step to die away, then he sighed heavily and bent down to draw up bis canoe. When I touched him on tho shoulder he rose nnd lifted tho paddlo menacingly. "Ah, so It's our young and gifted Irish friend!" ho said, grinning. "No moro sprinting stunts for me! I de cline to run. The thought of aspara gus nnd powdered glass saddens me. Look nt these hands these llttlo hands still wrapped In mystical white rags. I havo bled at every pore to give you entertainment, and now It's got to bo 20 paces with bird-guns." "What mischief aro you In now?" 1 demanded, angrily. "I thought I warned you, Glllcbplc; I thought I even appealed to your chivalry." "My dear fellow, everything has changed. If n nun In distress ap peals to mo for help, I am Johnny-on-the-spot for Mother Church." "Thnt was not tho sister, It was .MIbs Ilolbrook. I saw her distinctly; I heard" "Hy Jove, this Is gallant of you, Donovan! You aro a marvelous fel low!" "I havo a right to ask I demand to know what It was you gave tho girl." "Matinee tickets tho American girl without matinee tickets lu a lonely plelad bumping through tho void." "You nro a contemptiblo ass. Your conduct Is scoundrelly. If you want to seo Miss Ilolbrook, why don't you go to the houso and call on her like a gentleman? And as for her " "Yes; and as for her ?" Ho stepped close to me, threaten ingly. "As for her, she mny go too far!" "Sho Is not answerable to you. She's tho finest girl In the wot Id, and If you lnllinnto " "I Intlmnto nothing. Hut what I saw nnd heard Interested mo a good deal, Gillespie." "What you henrd by stealth, creep ing about hero at night, prying Into other pcoplo's nffalrsl" "I havo pledged mysolf to care for Miss Pat." "It's noblo of you, Donovan!" and ho stopped away from me, grinning. "Miss Pat suggests nothing to mo but 'buttou, button, who's got tho button?' She's a bloomln aristocrat, while I'm tho wealth-cursed child of democrncy." "You're a churmlng specimen!" I growled. (TO UK CONTINUKD.)
