h o cuultas a CHAPTER II Before Alecs nrrlvul on the scone I grieve to say that besides being one of the grot test Ounces In the school I was also so tlit muster paid the most troublesome young scapegrace he over linil the misfortune to eane He told my father that he could not conscien tiously take any hlaine to himself for my deplorable Ignorance and deprav ity as he would wnrrant that there was scarcely a square Inch of my un gainly carcass that his ferule or birch broom hnd not scored I was Innately wicked he declared and my poor fa ther groaned and said he feared the Bchoolmnster was right There was really some Justification for this belief of my fathers for all my ten brothers I was the youngest of 11 were either doing well or giving promise of It and I was the only one who had ever given my worthy par ents the least trouble The others were mostly parsons or on the way to become parsons so as my father too was In the church there was plenty of piety in the family but I am very much afraid that the collective good ness of all my relatives was mote than balanced by my Individual depravity 1 have heard my mother say and It has never o eurred to mo to doubt It that the first use I made of my legs after 1 learned the art of locomotion was to walk straight Into a scrape It Is a habit I have not dropped with In crease of years Now however I had for the first time a companion who like myself ap peared to be happiest when in trouble and for the next two years Alec and I continued to live In a state of Intermit tent rebellion with those In authority We both hankered after excitement and the pursuit of it continually led us Into hot water Now It would be a scuttle with liis lordships men for snar ing his lordships grouse now a brawl in a tavern and now again a threat of severe punishment for scaring half the town with a turnip lantern on a dark winters night Once we went off for a whole week and lived like conies among the hills and on another occa sion we hid ourselves in a ships hold and sailed down to Scarboro in her anil then tramped the whole way back over the moors on foot Adventures like these cemented our friendship and taught us to be quick and ready in emergencies but they did not tend to Increase our popularity with those In authority and to such an extent did our ill repute spread that when anything went wrong or any evil was committed of which the perpetra tors were not at once discovered every finger pointed to Alexander Ireland and John Topp as the culprits And truth to tell these Judicial digits did not often point askew Alec indeed pursued his studies with some amount of diligence but an for me the perpetual war which 1 waged with the schoolmaster was far too bitter to admit of my profiting by his efforts to Instruct me I Increased therefore h very little except stature but in that I bid fair to be pre eminent In Whitby My eventual sudden departure from the town was caused by the unexpect ed boiling over of a pan of water and this Is how it came about I had gone to see my sweetheart Inez nnd Alec had as usual accom panied me He still took great pleas ure In the sea songs she used to sing to us and besides his presence was a help to our lovemaklng as he was al ways wlllin to converse with Dame Gurrat and so divert her attention from Inez to me when we happened to wish to speak of anything of an espe cially private nature We had a pre arranged system of signals by which I could always let him know when I wanted him to talk louder than usual and to tell the truth our knowledge of the code was in no danger of growing rusty from want of use On this particular night however the conversation had been of other times nnd places than our own We had been discussing the marvelous wealth of the new world and Alec an I I had fought a wordy battle about tl e relative merits of glory and gold 1 t was all for glory and I was for gold flrBt and glory only as an afterthought when the gold was safe below Jack said Iuez to mo when Alec and I had In our despair of converting one another come to a controversial deadlock there nro other wnys ot innklng gold than by fighting for It Yes sweetheart I know there are I answered but you would not have me to become a smug faced merchant V No but there are other ways still IlowV Uy alchemy Tho devils work I cried My fathers work Jack replied Inez gravely Yes sweetheart nnd I wIfIi It wero not 1 begun when Alec Interrupted me Jack my boy youre a fool now can the dovil have anything to do with It V Tho trades respectable enough though It doesnt seem to bo very prof itable to Its professors- a suro sign by the way that Its an honest one Jack said Inez will you sec for yourself Visit Don Miguel nt his work Yes Not II I 60ldt with a shudder JI should expect to be enchanted Alec however chalTed me for my suiwrstltlouH fears and said that noth ing would please him better than to see how the work was done Now to be called a coward In the hearing of my sweetheart was naturally mote than I could stand so 1 told Alec I would go with him Inez said there was a window In the pantry from which we could see Don Miguels laboratory without his know ing that any one was watching him so we stationed ourselves there Alec was all curiosity to see what was going on but though I tried to conceal my rears I was horribly afraid Hint some unholy sight would meet my eyes From my cradle I have been taught that It Is al ways safest to shun the devil and his works and I believe It to be a thor oughly good rule Don Miguels laboratory was a fear some place There were rows upon rows of retorts and flasks of various plaint shapes shelves with big dusty learned looking bonks on them cases or bottles containing tinctures of vari ous colors both dull and bright char coal furnaces and steaming vats of I bubbling liquids The Hour was mark ed out into arcs circles triangles and every sort of uncanny geometrical fig ure and one corner of the room was entirely filled by a large blast furnace over which Don Miguel was leaning Intently wa ehing some substance that was hissing and gurgling in an earth enware crucible There was no light In the room ex cept that which the glow of the fur nace gave and as at each blast it burn ed up brightly and shone for a moment on the pale eager face of the alchemist and then died away In a gloom again which by contrast was almost dark ness 1 thought I hail never gazed upon such an unholy scene As we watched we saw that a crit ical point in the process had evidently been readied The Spaniard was trem bling and muttering as he peered into the crucible whenever the dragons breath of the furnace gave him light and though we could not hear what lie said It was perfectly clear that he was wildly excited unless perhaps It was the working of madness that we saw By and by he seemed to see the sign fbr which lie was looking With a low cry of delight more like the yapping of a dog than anything else he stopped the furnace blast and lit a rushlight candle Then he took the crucible from the lames and poured the con tents Into nnother vessel For four or live minutes he held It up to the light and during all that time as ho watched the silent work ings of his hell broth In the vessel I never once saw his eyelids blink Then he gave a wild unearthly yell of de light which made my very marrow run cold ns though a tub of water had been thrown over me nnd as his ex cited utterance became louder we could now hear what he said It turns It turns The color the lovely blood red color See how 1 rises red showing through the green Success has come to me nt last and to morrow I shall have gold Ha ha ha ha ha Cold gold gold At tills moment one of the tlasks that liiid been gurgling and spluttering in another corner suddenly boiled over and the liquid fell hissing on to the charcoal embers A cloud of steam rose into the air and at the sight my overstrained nerves could bear the ten sion no longer and I uttered a sharp cry The Spaniard heard It and it made him start luvoluntarlly Some of the decoction in the vessel he was hold ing splashed over and burned his hand With a yell of pain he let the

admiring Its pretty ways and wondering how I my one could have the heart to forsake it and particularly how such a refined woman could do so cruel a deed As I said I am a busy worker I tun a newspaper

would claim her Hut no one ever did My chief knew of the acquisition to my household but said nothing lie Is n wise man mid allows his subordi nates to do as they will provided their loyalty to his newspaper Is lug One day the 1st of Juno the chief sent for me and said I want you to go to New purl for the season Lady Hlaclbiini and her daughter are to be there They have Just come over frotn Europe ami are to be the lions or New port society Her ladyship Is an Amer ican you know but her daughter was bora abriiad She Is to be introduced Into society this summer and It In ex ited ed that she will make a brilliant match before the season Is out Who Is Lady Itlackburn 1 do not know exactly lie mild I cabled over to Herlln to find out some thing about her as 1 understand she was then- some lime ago All I could ascertain from our correspondent there was Unit a certain Lady Hhickburn and daughter wore part of the Ameri can colony at Herlln last season They were very quiet The daughter had uindt uiilorittnate match or some thing or that kind and did not go out They suddenly dlsappeaied Wheie did she get her title From the dead Itlackburn His nn cestor was knighted three generations ago Tor a service The title died with him but In this generation the widow an ambitious Molilalia woman has taken It up and as she has money she Is going to make the most or It You want me to go to Newport Yes go there and give her ladyship a flue write up As I started away Hie chh r called out Dont take the baby with you Shes too young to enter society I went to Newport to the Hock House without the baby I found Hi entire hotel in a state or anticipation for her ladyship was expected any day and a retinue of her servants liai arrived ahead of her lUii I heard great stories of Lade Hhickburn such as I hail never heard before and I soon learned that she hnd gone to Europe In her you It had mar ried abroad and had recently Inherited money from her father In Molilalia She was about to return to this coun try wltli her daughter to become the queen of American society The daughter the Honorable Con stance was beautiful and lit enough to reign over any belle in Newport The entire second floor in the Hock House was engaged for Lady Hhick burn and the Honorable Constance and three of the best carriage houses were put In commission for her ladyships blooded horses The day of her arrival at Newport I wrote a roll account to my newspaper nt home and had the satisfaction of knowing that we had scored a beat for no other newspaper had such a full account of the coming of the distin guished woman to Newport I had a glimpse of her ladyship on the day of her arrhal as she was com ing up the stops She was a tall slen der gray haired woman with a dis tinguished bearing and by her sine smaller though with scarcely less dis tinction walked the Honorable Con stance Later I saw the young wom ans face It was sweet though Inex pressibly sad ami I with my oxper1 elite of the world said to myself The Honoiabie Constance looks like a wom an with a past In a few days all Newport was alive with the arrival of the Hlackburns Cards and carriages arrived at the Hock House at all hours of the day and the name of the Honorable Con stance the beautiful heiress was on every lip It had been decided that Constance would make her debut In society ut the home of Airs Senator Gray who Is one of the most elegant women In New port society Then she and her mother having met all Newport could enter tain at a grand presentation ball nt the Hock House I must say this much for her lady ship that never In the course of my editorial career have I been treated with more consideration Though I had never met her I received each day from her pen a very nice pro gramme of the days doings On her nrrlval I had sent her my card with the nnme of the paper I represented engraved upon It and her ladyship hnd informed me In a very elegantly worded note thnt was writ ten on very elegantly engraved note paper thtt she would be pleased nt any time to render me any assistance j In her power lu the way of gathering society news So every morning 1 received from the pen of her secretary a full account I which greatly facilitated my work The Honorable Constance like all girls of l0 who are not yet In society I was passive In this but I thought she was sadder than she ought to be con sidering her clcgim t coming debut uud when I saw her as I often did walk- lug toward the ocean In company with only a maid I wondered that she was so depressed 4 One evening seeing her and her mother seated 011 the public balcony arter bidding rniewell to their guests I thought I would veiituie consider ing their hludticvs to appioaeh them uud pay my iepects As I stepped up in hind them 1 saw that they wete engaged hi 11 deep conversalloii and round that I was in earshot without Intending It U we mild only fiml II manimn IT we could only find It Lady Con stance was Mivlng It was stolen I tell you stolen 1 seaiched the papers and olleied te winds though you weio loo prostrated wllh grief to icalle It but It was nev er round Why can jou not give It up for lost or do you waul to spoil every thing Yon nie only nuil why cant jou ghe It up They must have lost a valuable Jewel I said to myself hut somehow 1 had 11 feellug that It was not a Jewel thet meant The day or Lady Hlaekbiirns ball was the busiest day Newport has ever seen Never will I forget It All the morning caterers and decorators were coining to the house to mid to the ele gant prcpniatlous made by the host of the finest hotel lu the world All the afternoon carriages were ar riving beating Immense bundles of bouquets ami baskets of orchids Tho lion Constance Hlackbiirn was to bo launched Into society under the aus pices second to no oilier ilchtitiiuto that eer stepped out ut Newport My plan for reporting tho ball wiih this Dining the inorulng I had will ten n complete account or the preparations lu the iirteruoou I obtained the list of the Invited guests and toward evening I made a mile of lie bouquets uud those who had sent tlieni All these I telegraphed to my chief in New York At II oclock I would visit the ball room and having noted the coslumeu of the ladles I would wire them to my chlcr to be added beloie the paper went to press At 0 oclock I determined for fenr of being left out at some Impoiiunl detail to visit Lady Hhickburn and pay my respects to her I thought this would be a good time to thank her for her klnducHS and to nsk for additional de tails regarding the ball Ip to this time I had never met her ladyship I was ushered Into the Hluckhimi suit or rooms and there lu the most luxurious corner or the summer parlor 1 sank to rest amid elegant cushions to await the arrival of Lady Hlack biirn to whom I had sent my card It was only a inlniile before I heard the rustle of her gown She was not yd dresr ed for the hall She had her anus full 01 limns ami on each sldo of her weie iiiiuiscn ants also carrying flowers They stopped at a small ta ble at my side You can lay the favors there Jniiies said her ladyship And you John place yours over 011 Hie table It was plain that Lady Itlackburn did not know she had a guest Now said she I will leave these here and I will come hack for them In Just a minute Something lu Hie sound of her volco brought me lo my feet ami she laid her bin den by my side and stepped back 1 turned and looked at her For one minute we two women stood face to race I took the midnight train for New York flint wry night I had something I wanted to tell my chief It Is a good story he said but we could in ver print It Lady Hlack biirn Is a leader lu society and the Honorable Constance Is engaged to be married to the wealthiest catch of Newport The announcement came over the wlr tonight It was mnde at the ball It seems the Honorable Con stance only met him at Newport but money youth and beauty fixed tho match I guess we had better let It
