t CHAPTERVI.
Mr. Griswold Forsakes the Academii
Life.
Miss Osborne had asked Griswoli
to await the outcome of the day , and
finding himself thus possessed of !
vacation , he indulged his antiquariai
instincts by exploring Columbia. Thi
late afternoon found him in the love
ly cathedral churchyard , where ai
aged negro , tending the graves of ai
illustrious family , leaned upon hi :
spade and recited the achievement
and virtues of the dead.
As the shadows lengthened , Gris
weld walked back to the hotel , when
he ate supper , then , calling for i
horse , he rode through the streets ii
a mood of more complete alienatioi
than he had ever experienced in ;
foreign country ; yet the very scent
of the summer night , stealing out fron
old gardens , the voices that reachei
him from open doorways , spoke o
home.
As he reached the outskirts of towi
and rode on toward the governor' !
mansion , his mood changed , and h <
laughed softly , for he remembere <
Ardmore , and Ardmore was beyoni
question the most amusing person h <
knew. It was unfortunate , he genei
'
ously reflected , that Ardmore , rathe
than himself , had not been plungei
into this present undertaking , whicl
was much more in Ardmore's lim
that hte own. There would , however
be a great satisfaction in'telling Ard
more of his unexpected Visit to Cc
lumbia , in exchange for' his friend' ;
report of his pursuit of the winkini
eye. He only regretted that in th <
nature ofthings Columbia.is a mod
era city , a seat , of cbjrinierce as wel
as of government , a place" where ban !
clearings are seriously computed , am
where the jaunty adventurer witl
sword and ruffles is quite likely tt
run afoul of the police. Yet his owi
Imagination was far more fertile-thai
Ardmore's , and he would have ballet
a troop of mail-clad men as Joyfull ]
as his. friend had he met them clank
Ing in the highway. Thus , modern as
we think ourselves , the least venture
some among us dreams that some da :
some turn of a street corner wil
bring him face to face with what w <
please to call our fate ; and this is th <
manifestation of our last drop o ;
medieval blood. The grimmest seek
er after reality looks out of the cor
ner of his eye for the flutter of
white handkerchief from the iviec
tower he affects to ignore ; and , ii
spite of himself , he is buoyed by tht
hope that some day a horn will sounc
for him over be nearest hill.
Miss OifcOFne met him at the veran
ft Steps. Indoors a mandolin anc
piano struck up the merry chords ol
"The Eutaw Girl. "
"My young sisters have company
We'll sit here , if you don't mind. "
She led the way to a quiet corner
and after they were seated she was
silent a moment , while the light from
the windows showed clearly that hei
perplexity of the morning was not yel
at an end. He felt that she was seri
ously anxious and troubled , and he
wished to hearten her if he could
The soft dusk oil the faintly lighted
corner folded her in. He heard whis
pered in his heart a man's first word
of'the woman he is destined to love ,
in which he sets her apart ; above and
beyond -all > other womenkind she is
different ; she is not like other wom
en !
"It is nearly nine , " she said , her
voice thrilling through him. "My fa
ther should have Jbeen here an hour
ago. We have heard nothing from
him. The newspapers have telephoned
repeatedly to know his whereabouts.
I have put them off by intimating that
he is away on important public busi
ness , and that his purpose might be
defeated if his exact whereabouts
were known. "
"I have no doubt in the world that
the explanation you gave the newspa
pers * is the truth of'the matter : Your
father must be absent a great deal-
it is part of a governor's business to
keep in motion. But we may as well
face the fact that his absenca Just
now is most embarrassing. This Ap-
pleweight matter has reached a crisis ,
and a failure to handle it properly
may injure your father's future as a
public man. If you will pardon me , I
would suggest that there must be
some ! . .onewhom you , can take into
your confidence some friend , some
one in your lather's , administration
that you can rely .on ? "
"Yes ; father has many friends ; but
I cannot consider acknowledging to
any one that father has disappeared
when such a matter as this Apple-
weight case is an issue through the
state. No ; I have thought of every
one this afternoon. It would be a
painful thing for his best friends to
know what is what seems to be the
truth. " Her voice wavered a little ,
but she was brave , and he was * aware
that she straightened herself in her
chair , and , when wayward gleams of
light fell upon her face , that her lips
were set resolutely.
"You saw the attorney general this
morning , " she went on. "As you sug
gested , he would naturally be the one
to whom I should turn , but I cannot
do it. I there is a reason" and she
faltered a moment "there are sea
sons why I cannot appeal to Mr. Bos-
worth at this time. "
She shrugged her shoulders as
though throwing off a disagreeable
topic , and he saw that there was
nothing more to be said on this point.
His heart-beats realized
- quickened as he
ized that she was appealing to him ;
that , though he was only the most
casual acquaintance , she trusted him.
As he pondered tor a moment , a
messenger rode into the grounds , , and
Miss Osborne slipped away and met
the boy at the steps. She came back
and opened a telegram , reading the
message at one of the vandows. An
indignant exclamation escaped her ,
and she crumpled the paper in her
hand.
"The Impudence of it ! " she ex
claimed. He had risen , and she now
turned to him with anger and scorn
deepening her beautiful color.Her
breath came quickly ; her head was
lifted imperiously ; her lips quivered
slightly as she spoke.
"This is from Gov. Dangerfield. Can
you imagine a man of any character
or decency sending such a message to
the governor of another state ? "
She watched him as he read :
Raleigh , N. C.
The Honorable Charles Osborne ,
Governor 'of South Carolina ,
Columbia , S. C. :
Have written by to-night's mail in Ap-
pleweight matter. Your vacillating course
not understood.
WILLIAM DANGERFIELD ,
Governor of North Carolina.
"What do you think of that ? " she
demanded.
"I think it's impertinent , to say the
least , " he replied guardedly.
"Impertinent ? " It's the most con
temptible , outrageous thing I ever
heard of in my life ! Gov. Dangerfield
has dilly-dallied with that case for
two years. His administration has
been marked from the beginning by
the worst kind of incompetence. Why ,
this man Appleweight and his gang of
outlaws only come into South Carolina
lina now and then to hide and steal ,
"What Are Our Intentions ? "
but they commit most of their crime ;
in North Carolina , and they always
have. Talk about a vacillating course :
Father has never taken steps to ar
rest those men out of sheer regard fo :
Gov. Dangerfield ; he thought Nortl
Carolina had some pride , and that hei
governor would prefer to take car (
of his own criminals. What do yoi
suppose Appleweight is indicted foi
in this state ? For stealing one ban
one single ham from a farmer ii
Mingo county , and he's killed half
dozen men in North Carolina. "
She paced the corner of the ver
anda angrily , while Griswold gropec
for a solution of the problem. The
telegram from Raleigh was certainlj
lacking in diplomatic suavity. It was
patent that if the , governor of Nortl
Carolina was not 'tremendouslj
aroused , he was playing a great gam
of bluff ; and on either hypothesis
prompt response must be made to his
telegram.
"I must answer this at once. He
must not think we are . so v stupid ir
Columbia that we don't know wher
we're insulted. We can-go througl
the side door to father's study anc
write the message there , " and she lee
the way.
She found a blank and wrote rapid
ly , without asking suggestions , witl
this result :
The Honorable William Dangerfleld ,
Raleigh , N. C. :
Tour extremely diverting telegram ir
Appleweight case received and filed.
CHARLES OSBORNE ,
Governor of South Carolina.
She met Griswold's obvious disap
pointment with prompt explanation.
"You see , the governor of Soutt
Carolina cannot stoop to an exchange
of billingsgate with an underbred per
son like that a big , solemn , conceited
creature in a Ion ? frock-coat
shoestring necktie , who boasts of bi
longing to the common 'peo-pull. * H
doesn't have to tell anybody tha
when it's plain as daylight. The wa
to answer him is not to answer a
all. "
"Excellent. It's bound to , irritat <
and It leaves him in the dark as t
our I mean Gov. Osbome's inter
tions. And those intentions "
During this by-play he had reache
a decision as to what should be don (
and he was prepared to answer whe
she asked , with an employment of th
pronoun that pleasantly emphasize
their relationship :
"What are our intentions ? "
"We are going to catch Apple
weight , that's the first thing and ui
til we get him we're going to kee
our own counsel. Let me have a tele
graph blank and I will try my ban
at being governor. " He sat down i :
the governor's chair , asked the nam
of the county seat of Mingo and wrot
without erasure or hesitation thi
message :
To the Sheriff of Mingo County ,
Turner Court House , S. C. :
Make every possible effort to captur
Appleweight and any of his gang wh
are abroad in your county. Swear in a"
the deputies you need , and if frlendll
ness of citizens to outlaws makes thi
impossible wire me Immediately , and
will send militia. Any delay on you
part will be visited with severest penal
ties. Answer immediately by telegraph.
CHARLES OSBORNE ,
Governor of South Carolina.
"That's quite within the law , " sail
Griswold , handing Barbara the met
sage ; "and we might as well put th
thing through at a gallop. I'll get th
telegraph company to hold open th
line to Turner Court House until th
sheriff answers. "
As Barbara read the message h
saw her pleasure in the quick corr
pression of her lips , the glow in he
cheeks , and then the bright glint o
her bronze-brown eyes as she fir
ished.
"There must be no mistake , no fail
ure , " she said quietly.
"We are not going to fail ; we ar
going to carry this through ! Withi ]
three days we'll have Appleweight ii
a North Carolina jail or a flying fugi
tive in Gov. Danger-field's territory
And now these telegrams must b
sent. It might be better for you to gt
to the telegraph office with me. Yoi
must remember that I am a pilgrin
and a stranger and they might ques
tion my filing official messages. "
' "That is perfectly true. I will g <
into town with you. "
"And if there's an official coach tha
everybody knpws as yours , it woul <
allay suspicions to have it , " and whil <
he was still speaking she vanished t <
order the carriage.
In five minutes it was at the sid <
door , and Griswold and Barbara , for
tified by the presence of Phoebe , lef
the governor's study.
"If they don't know me , everybody
in South Carolina knows Phoebe , '
said Barbara.
"A capital idea. I can see by hei
eye that she's built for conspiracy. "
Griswold's horse was to be returnee
to town by a boy ; and when this hae
been arranged the three entered the
carriage.
"The telegraph office , Tom ; anc
hurry. "
CHAPTER VII.
An Affair at the Statehouse.
Barbara filed the messages hersel
with the manager of the telegrapl
company , who lifted the green shade
from his eyes and smiled upon her.
"We'll rush them , Miss Osborne
Shall I telephone the answers if thej
come to-night ? No ; your father likes
his telegrams delivered , I remember. '
"I will call for them , " said Gris
wold. "Gov. Osborne was only ai
home a few hours this evening and he
left me ; In charge of these matters. "
The manager's face expressed sur
prise.
"Oh ! I didn't know the governor
was at home , " he remarked , as he
finished counting the words and charg
ing them against the state's account
"I will send them myself , and ask the
operators at the other end to look
lively about the answers. You are
Mr. "
"This is Maj. Griswold , " said Bar
bara , conferring the title with a vague
feeling that it strengthened her cause.
"Major , " repeated the manager , and
he nodded to Griswold with an air
that Implied his familiarity with of
ficial secrets. "You will call ? In a
couple ot hours , major. "

NOTABLE CEREMONY IN SIAM
Presentation by the King of Yellov
Robes to Priests of Bud-
hist Temples.
Once a year , says a writer In the
Wide World Magazine , all the Budd
hist temples in Siam are visited by
the king , or his deputies , bearing the
Phra Kathin ( yellow robes ) , in con
formity with 'an ancient custom by
which the priests were made to seek
their apparel for the ensuing year.
During the lifetime of Buddha , monks
and priests were sent out to beg for
old , cast-off garments , which were
afterward dyed yellow and patched
together to form the required robes.
This ancient mendicant custom gradu-
aally gave place to the present one oi
making the garments from new cloth
of a bright canary yellow , provided
by joint contributions of king , princes ,
nobles 'and commoners. When the
king goes in the royal throne barge
to present the robes in person he
does so with great pomp and cere
mony. The priestly garments , folded
In bundles , are carried to the door
3f the temple to await the appearance
of his majesty and .his suite. The
king , on arriving , takes a priestly
robe and places it on a decorated
tltar. The chief priest then lays hia
hands on the garment and chants an
acknowledgment.
