with a flour ish showing a fair boyish face Yes he continued to Paul in Eng lish The general sent mo over with a sotnia of men and pretty hungry you will And them We have covered the whole distance since daybreak A report reached the old gentleman that the whole countryside was about to rise against you Who spread the report asked Steinmetz I believe it originated down at the wharfs It has been traced to an old man and his daughter a sort of ped dler I think who took a passage down the river but where they heard the ru mor I dont know Paul and Steinmetz carefully avoided looking at each other They knew that Catrlna and Stepan Lanovitch had sent back assistance Of course said Paul I am very glad to see you but I am equally glad to inform you that you are not wanted Steinmetz will tell you all about it and when you are ready for dinner it will be ready for you I will give in structions that the men be cared for Thanks The funny thing is that I am instructed with your approval to put the place under martial lnw and take charge That will not be necessary thanks answered Paul going out of the open door to speak to the wild looking Cos sacks sent for his protection While the young officer was chang ing his uniform for the evening finery which his servants forethought had provided Paul and Steinmetz hurriedly arranged what story of the evening should be given to the world Know ing the county as they did they were enabled to tell a true tale which was yet devoid of that small personal In terest that gossips love And all the world ever knew was that the Princess Howard Alexis was killed by the re volted peasants while attempting to escape by a side door and that the Baron Claude de Chauiville who was staying in the neighborhood met his death in attempting to save her from the fury of the mob On the recommendation of Karl Steinmetz Paul placed the castle and village under martial law and there and then gave the command to the young Cossack officer pending further instructions from his general com manding at Tver The officer dined with Steinmetz and under the careful treatment of that diplomatist inaugurated a reign of mili tary autocracy which varied pleasing ly between strict discipline and boyish neglect Before the master of the situation had slept off the effects of his hundred mile ride and a heavy dinner the next morning Steinmetz and Maggie were ready to start on their journey to Eng land The breakfast was served in the room abutting on the cliff in the dim light of a misty morning The lamps were alight on the table and Paul was waiting when Maggie came down cloaked for her journey Steinmetz had breakfasted They said good morning and man aged to talk of ordinary things until Maggie was supplied with coffee and toast and a somewhat heavy manly helping of a breakfast dish Then came a silence Paul broke it at length with an ef fort standing as it were on the edge of the forbidden topic Steinmetz will take you all the way he said and then come back to me You can safely trust yourself to his care Yes answered the girl looking at the food set before her with a helpless stare It is not that Can I safely trust Ettas memory to your judg ment You are very stern Paul I think you might easily misjudge her Men do not always understand a wo mans temptations Paul had not sat down He walked away to the window and stood there looking out into the gloomy mists It is not because she was my cous in said Maggie from the table It is because she was a woman leaving her memory to be judged by two men who are both hard Paul neither looked around nor an swered When a woman has to form her own life and renders it a prominent one she usually makes a huge mistake of it said the girl She waited a moment and then she pleaded once more hastily for she heard a step approaching If you only understood everything you might think differently It is be cause you cannot understand Then Paul turned around slowly No he said I cannot Understand it and I do not think that I ever shall And Steinmetz came into the room In a few minutes the sleigh bearing Steinmetz and Maggie disappeared into the gloom closely followed by a cou ple of Cossacks acting as guard and carrying dispatches So Etta Sydney Bamborough the Princess Howard Alexis came back after all to her husband lying in a nameless grave in the churchyard by the Volga at Tver Within the white walls beneath the shadow of the great spangled cupola they await the ver dict almost side by side n CHAPTER XL ETWEEN Brandon in Suffolk and Thetford in Norfolk In England runs a quiet river the Little Ouse where few boats break the stillness of the water Three years after Ettas death in the glow of an April sunset a Cana dian canoe was making its stealthy way up the river The paddle crept In and out so gently so lazily and peace fully that the dabchicks and other water fowl did not cease their chatter of nests and other April matters as the canoe glided by So quiet indeed was its progress that Karl Steinmetz suddenly white headed as strong old men are apt to find themselves did not heed Its ap proach He was sitting on the bank with a gun a little rifle lying on the grass beside him Ho was half asleep In tho enjoyment of a large Havana cigar The rays of the setting sun peeping through the lower branches made him blink lazily like a large good natured cat He turned his head slowly with a hunters consciousness of the approach of some one and contemplated the ca noe with a sense of placid satisfaction The small craft was passing in the shadow of a great tree stealing over the dark unruffled depth A girl dress ed In white with a large diaphanous white hat and a general air of brisk English daintiness was paddling slow ly and with no great skill A picture said Steinmetz to him self with Teutonic deliberation Gott im Himmel what a pretty picture to make an old man young Then his gray eyes opened suddenly and he rose to his feet he muttered He drag ged from his head a lamentable old straw hat and swept a courteous bow Mademoiselle he said ah what happiness After three years Maggie stopped and looked at him with troubled eyes All the color slow ly left her face What are you doing here she ask ed And there was something like fear in her voice No harm mademoiselle but good I have come down from big game to ver min I have here a saloon rifle I wait till a water rat comes and then I shoot him The canoe had drifted closer to the land the paddle trailing in the water You are looking at my white hairs he went on in a sudden need of con versation Please bring your boat a little nearer The paddle twisted lazily in the wa ter like a fishs tall Hold tight he said reaching down With a little laugh he lifted the canoe and its occupant far up on to the bank Despite my white hairs he said with a tap of both hands on his broad chest I attach no importance to them she answered taking his proffered hand and stepping over tho light bul wark I have gray onea myself I am getting old too How old he asked looking down at her with his old bluntness Twenty eight Ah they are summers he said mine have turned to winters Will you sit here where I was sitting See I will spread this rug for your white dress Maggie paused looking through the trees toward the sinking sun The light fell on her face and showed one or two lines which had not been there before It showed a patient tenderness in the steady eyes which had always been there which Catrina had noticed in the stormy days that were past I cannot stay long she replied I am with the Faneaux at Brandon for a few days They dine at 7 Ah her ladyship is a good friend of mine You remember her charity ball in town when it was settled that you should come to Osterno A strange world mademoiselle a very strange world so small and yet so large and bare for some of us Maggie looked at him Then she sat down Tell me she said all that has happened since then I went back answered Steinmetz and we were duly exiled from Rus sia It was sure to come We were too dangerous Altogether too quioxtlc for an autocracy For myself I did not mind but it hurt Paul There was a little pause while the water lapped and whispered at their feet I heard said Maggie at length in a measured voice that he had gone abroad for big game Yes to India He did not go to America inquired Maggie indifferently She was idly throwing fragments of wood into the river No answered Steinmetz looking straight in front of him No he did not go to America And you I oh I stayed at home I have taken a house It is behind the trees You cannot see it I live at peace with all men and pay my bills every week Sometimes Paul comes and stays with me Sometimes I go and stay with him in London or in Scotland I smoke and shoot water rats and watch tho younger generation making the same mistakes that we made in our time You have heard that my country is in order again They have remembered me For my sins they have made me a count Bon Dieu I do not mind They may make me a prince if it pleases them He was watching her face beneath his grim old eyebrows These details bore you he said No When Paul and I are together we talk of a new heaven and a new Rus sia But it will not come in our time We are only the sowers and the har vest is not yet But I tell Paul that he has not sown wild oats nor sour grapes nor thistles He paused and the expression of his face changed to one of semihumorous gravity Mademoiselle he went on it has been my lot to love the prince like a son It has been my lot to stand help lessly by while he passed through many troubles Perhaps the good God gave him all his troubles at first Dot you think so Maggie was looking straight in front of her across the quiet river BtnmmmmammBmaalimaBBBBBBmaimmmMmmmmBBmmmBimmmmimmmmmmKmmmmmmmmmBt Perhaps so she said Steinmetz also stared in front of him during a little sileuce The common thoughts of two minds may well bo drawn together by the contemplation of a common object Then ho turned toward her It will be a happiness for him to see you he said quietly Maggie ceased breaking small branches and throwing them into tho river She ceased all movement and scarcely seemed to breathe What do you mean Bhe asked He Is staying with me here Maggie glanced toward the canoe She drew a short sharp breath but she did not move Mademoiselle said Steinmetz ear nestly I am an old man and in my time I have dabbled pretty deeply In trouble But taking it all around even my life has had its compensations And I have seen lives which taken as a mere mortal existence without look ing to the hereafter at all have been quite worth the living There Is much happiness In life to make up for the rest But that happiness must be firm ly held It is so easily slipped through the fingers A little irresolution a lit tle want of moral courage a little want of self confidence a little pride and It is lost You follow mer Maggie nodded There was a great tenderness in her eyes such a tender ness as resting on men may bring them nearer to the angels Steinmetz laid his largo hand over hers Mademoiselle he went on I be lieve that the good God seat 700 along j -mil minim - It ia modemoiaeWi I this lonely river In your boat Paul leaves me tomorrow Hla arrange ments are to go to India and shoot tigers He will sail In a week There are things of which we never speak to gether there is one name that is never mentioned Since Osterno you have avoided meeting him God knows I am not asking for him anything that he would be afraid to ask for himself But he also has his pride He will not force himself In where he thinks his presence unwelcome Steinmetz rose somewhat ponderous ly and stood looking down at her He did not however succeed in meeting her eyes Mademoiselle he said I beg of you most humbly most respectfully to come through the garden with me toward the house so that Paul may at least know that you are here He moved away and stood for a mo ment with his back turned to her look ing toward the house The crisp rustle of her dress came to him as she rose to her feet Without looking round he walked slowly on The path through the trees was narrow two could not walk abreast After a few yards Steinmetz emerged on to a large sloping lawn with flower beds and a long low house above it On the covered terrace a man sat writing at a table He was surrounded by papers and the pen in his large firm hand moved rapidly over the sheet before him We still administer the estate said Steinmetz in a low voice From our exile we still sow our seed They approached over the mossy turf and presently Paul looked up a strong face stern and self contained the face of a man who would always have a purpose In life who would never be petty in thought or deed For a moment he did not seem to rec ognize them Then ho rose and the pen fell on the flags of the terrace It is mademoiselle said Steinmetz and no other word was spoken Maggie walked on in a sort of uncon sciousness She only knew that they were all acting an Inevitable part written for them in the great libretto of life She never noticed that Stein- metz had left her side that she was walking across the lawn alone Paul came to meet her and took her hand in silence There was so much to say that words seemed suddenly value less there was so little to say that they were unnecessary For that which these two had to tell each other cannot be told in minstes nor yet in years It cannot even be told in a lifetime for it is endless and it runs through eternity THE END
