CIIAI'TIMI .Mil.
In the I.oiik Unllcry.
Tho man with whom the lighters nnd
tho doubters were concerned was think
ing very llttlo about his champions or
his cncmlas. No fresh whispers ot dan
ger had como to Harry Tristram's cars.
Ho knew nothing of Ncald and could
not think of that quiet old gentleman
as n possible tnrnacu to his secret; ho
trusted Mlna Zabrlska and relied on the
lnfluonco which ho had proved himself
to possess over her; he did not believe
that Duplay would slick to his game, and
was not afraid of hlnl If hu did. The en
gagement was accomplished; tho big check,
or tho prospect ot It, lay ready to his hand.
No volco was raised, no murmur was heard
against tho right of tho new Lord Tristram
ot Hlcnt. Tho object of all those long
preparations, which had occupied his mother
and himself for so many years, was
achieved. Hu snt In Addle Tristram's placo
and uono said him nay.
Ills mind was not much on these mat
tors at all. ISvon his engagement occu
pied him very little. Janlu's letter had
urrlvcd and had been read; It enma at
midday, and the evening found It still un
acknowledged. It had broken In from out
side, as It were, Intruding llko something
foreign Into the llfo that ho hnd begun
to live on tho evening before Addle Tris
tram was burled, tho evening when for
un Instant ho had thought he saw her
phantom by tho pool; a llfo foreshadowed
by the new mood, which Mlna had noticed
In him while Lady Tristram still lived, but
brought Into reality by tho presence of
another. Ho had struggled against It, say
ing that tho Monday morning would sec an
end of this unlooked-for episode of feeling
ami ot companionship. Accident stepped
In; (lalnsborough lay In bed with a chill
and could not move. Harry acquiesced
In 'tho necessity of IiIb remaining, not
exactly with pleasure, rather with a sonso
that something had begun to happen, not
by his will, but affecting him deeply.
Addle Tristram's death had moved him
fciiangely; then came that hardly nnturnl,
eerily fascinating reminiscence no, it was
moro than that that rc-cmbodlmcnt or
resurrection of her in the girl who moved
and talked and Bat llko her, who had hor
ways, though not her face, her oyes set In
another frnmo, her voice renewed la youth
ful richness, tho very turns of her head,
even her old trlok ot sticking out her foot.
Ho scowled sometimes, ho was surprised
Into laughter sometimes; at another mo
ment, ho would rebel ngalnst the malicious
power that seemed to be having a Joke with
him, for tho most part ho looked and
looked and looked, unwilling to miss a sin- 1
glo ono ot tho characteristic touches which
hod been Addlo Tristram's bdlonglngs, and
which ho had novor expected to sco again
after her spirit had passed away. And tho
outcome nt all his looking was still the
samo ns the effect of his first impression
on tho evening beforo the funeral a sort
of despair. A thing was thero which ho
did not know how to deal with.
And alio was so happy, so absurdly happy.
She had soon found that he expected no
conventional solemnity; he laughed himself
at the Iden of Addlo Tristram wanting pen
plo to pull long faces and keep them long
whon pulled, because she had laid hor bur
den down nnd was nt peace. Cecily found
sho might bo morry, and merry sho was. A
now life had come to hor, too, a llfo of river
and trees and moadows; docper than that,
a llfo of beauty about her. Sho absorbed
It with n nntlvo thirst. Thore was plenty
of It nnd nlio had been starved so long. Sho
seized on Wont and onjoyod It to tho full.
She enjoyed Harry, too, Inughlng now when
ho stared at hor and making him laugh, yet
hotsolf noting all his ways, his pride, his
llttlo lordlinesses these grow dear to hor
his air of owning the countryside nnd mak
ing no Bccrrt ot her own pleusuro in being
pnrt of tho family nnd In living In tho liouss
that owned tho country side. It Is to bj
fenrcd that Mr. Gainsborough and his chill
were rather neglected, but he got on very
well with Addlo Tristram's ancient mnld;
she had tho nobility nt her finger's end,
nnd oven knew something about their pod
lgroes. Cecily was free, or nssumoiT'tho

on to tho face of the moon, nearly full. They
had been silent for some minutes, sipping
coffee. Cecily pointed to the row of win
dows In tho left wing of tho house.
"I've never been there," she said. "What's
that?"
"Tho long gallery nil ono long room, you
know," ho answered.
"Ono room! All that! What's In it?"
"Well, everything, mostly," ho smiled.
Knsem Justltla!'" she waved the blade.
Harry left her busy with the things that
were so great a delight and walked to tho
window nt the other end of tho long room.
Tho motto ran in his head 'Tor Enscm
Justltla." What was the Justice and what
tho sword. He nwoko to tho cause of the
changed mood In him nnd of tho ngltntlon
In which ho hnd beon living. It wns noth- .
lng to defy tho lnw, to raako light of a dry i
abstraction, to find right against It In his
blood. His opponent now wns no more tho
lnw, It wns no moro even some tlrcsomo
moment. Then sho sank back Into Addle
Tristram's great urtnchnlr, asking, "Will
she do it well 7"
"No," said Harry. "She's n good sort,
but sho won't do It well."
Cecily sighed nnd turned her head to
ward tho window.
"Why do you do It? Do you caro for
her7"
"I llko her. And I want money. Sho'a
very rich. Money might bo useful to me."
"You seem very rich. Why do you want
money?"
"I might want It."
Thero was silence for a moment. "Well,
I hope you'll bo happy," sho said pres
ently. Sho herself was tho reason the ombodl'id
reason (was reason ever more fairly em
bodied?) why ho was going to marry Janlo
Ivor. The monstrousncss of It rose before
his mind. When he told of his ongagemant
there had been for an Instant a look In 'jtr
eyes. Wonder It was nt least. Was It
disappointment? Was It all near to con
sternation? As he watched her, yet in
other new thing came upon him, as a thing
that seemed to bo ns now ns the last quar
ter chimed by tho old Trench clock on the
mautleplccc, and yet might date back as
long as threo days ago. Kvcn now It hardly
reached consciousness, certainly did not tl
tnln expllcttncss. It was still rather that
Janlo was no mistress for Went and that
this girl wna tho Ideal It was Went still
rather than himself, Hlcut's mistress rather
than his. Hut It was enough to Bet a new
edgo on his questioning. Was he to no
tho man ho who looked on her now and
saw how fair she wna was he to be tho
man to deny her her own, to rob her of
"All our treasures, and our pictures, nnd to
on."
"Why haven't you taken me there?"
Harry shrugged his shouldois. "You never
asked me," ho Bald.
"Well, will you take me there now when
you'vo finished your cigar?"
Thero was a pauio before ho answered,
"Yes, If you like." Ho turned to tho ser
vant who hnd come to take nway tho tof
fee. "Light up tho long gallery nt once."
"Yes, my lord." A slight surprise broke
through tho respectful acceptance of the
order.
"It was lighted last for my mother
months ago," Hurry said, as (hough he
wero explaining his servant's surprise, "thj
sat there tho last evening beforo sho tcoU
to her room."
"Is hv why ycu havet't laken me th'ro?"
"I expect It Is." His tone 'was not ery
confident.
"And you don't much want lo now?"
"No, I don't know that I do," 'Hut his re
luctance seemed vnguo and weak.
"Oh, I must go," Cecily decided, "but you
needn't comu unions you like, you know."
"All right, you go alone," he agreed.
Window after window sprang Into light.
Cecily arose, waved her hand to Hnrry and
ran off Into tho house with a laugh. Tho
noxt moment hp saw her figure In the first
window; sho threw It open, waved her hiind
again and again laughed; tbo moon, clear
for a moment, shono on her face and turncl'
It pale.
Ho sat watching the lighted windows.
From tlmo to tlmo she darted Into sight.
Onco ho heard tho big window facing th
river nt tno end flung open. Tho next In
stant she was In sight nt tho other ex
tromlly of the gallery. Evidently sho wns
running about examining all the things.
Sho mine to n window presently, nnd cried,

"Oh, well!" she laughed. Impatiently, and
disappeared. Minutes passed, nnd ho did
not cce her ngaln. She must hnvo nottim!

ncr interest was exhausted, nnd she hnd
gono off to her father's room. No, there

with a new glory. Nature, that fashioned
her In tho Tristram Imago had It not put
In her hun.l tho sword by which she should
win Justice? Tho thought passed through
his mind now without a shock; he seemed
to sco her mistress of Went; for tho
moment ho forgot himself as any ono pave
nn onlooker; he did not seem concerned.
Onco moro he roused himself. He had
fallen Into a fear of the fancies that threat
ened to carry him ho did not know whore.
He wnnted to get away from this room with
Its suggestions nnd the presence that gave
them such force.
"Aren't you ready yet?" he called to her.
"It's getting late.."
"Aro you still thero?" sho erled back In
a gay affectation of surprise. "I'd forgotten
all about you; I thought I hnd It to myself.
I wus trying to think It was all mine."
"Shall we go downstairs?" His volco wns
hard and constrained.
"No, I won't," sho said, Hquaroly. "I

Thero was n triumphant galoty in hor nlr

her sonso of tho boundless satisfaction that
hor surroundings gave. "I love It all so
much," she murmured, half perhaps to her
self, ytt still as n plea to him that lis
would not reek to hurry her from tho place.
Harry turned away, again with that de
spair on him. Sho gave him permission to
go, but ho could not leave hor neither hor
nor now tho room.' Yot ho wna nfrnld that
ho could not answer for himself It he
stayed. It was too strango that every as

She waved toward tho pictures. "Here. In

"To marry you?" film sat un. looking at

"Yes, to Janlo Iver. You know who I

"Yes, I know. You'ro going to bo Mar

"I asked her a week ago. Today she

on hla feet even as he spoko. "To marry

Sho was too sympathetic to waste breath
on civil pretenses,
"To be mistress here? To own this. To
be Lady Tristram of Went?"
"Yes. To have what what I'm supposed
to have," on Id he.
Cecily regarded him Intently for another
hur right, to parade beforo the world in
tho 'trappings which wero hers? It was
all ' so strango, bo overwhelming. He
dropped Into n chair by him and pressed
his hand across hla brow. A low murmur,
almost n groan, escaped him in the tumult
of his soul. "My God!" ho whlspored, In
n whisper that seemed to echo through the
room.
"Hurry! Arc you unhappy?" In an In
stant sho was by him. "What Is It? I
don't understand. You tell mo you're on
gaged and you look so unhappy. Why do
you marry If you don't love her? Aro you
giving her all thlH and yourself you your
self without loving her. Dear Harry ye3,
you'vo boon very good to me dear Harry,
why?"
"Oo back," ho said. "Go bnck to your
choir. Oo and sit thero."
With wonder In her eyes nnd a smile
fresh born on her Hps sho observed him.
"Well?" sho said. "You're very cold.
But what?"
"I'm marrying her for Wcnt'a aako and
I think sho'a marrying mo for Went'a
sake."
"I call that horrible."
"No." He Bprnng to his feet. "If Went
wns yours what would you do to keep It?"
"Everything," sho unswered. "Every
thingexcept sell mysolf, Harry."
Sho was superb. Hy n natural Instinct,
nil affectation forgotten, sho had thrown
herself into Addlo Tristram's attitude.
Thero was tho hend on tho bend of tho
arm. Thcro was tho dainty foot stuck out.
Thero was ull the dcflnnce of a world In
Bcnsato to love, greedy to And sin, dull to
seo grace nud beauty, blind to a woman's
self, whllo It caviled nt a woman's deeds.
"Everything except sell yourself?" ho re
peated, hla eyes set nn her face.
"Yot 'Per Ensom Justlth!' " she Uughed
"Hut not lies, and not buying und selling,
Harry."
"My word is given. I must marry her
now."
"Hotter fling Went nway!" sho flashed
out in a brilliant Indignation,
"And If I did that?"
"A woman would lovo you for yourself,"
she cried, leaning forward to him with
hands clatped.
Again ho roso aud paced the length of
the long gallery. Tho momont was come.
There was a g-eat nlllanco against him. He
fought etlll. At every step hu took he came
to tomcthlng that still wus his,- that he
prized, that lie loved, 'thnt meant much to
him, thrt typiro l lils p slion ns Tristram of
Went. A tepurnto pang wnlted on every
step, n grent ugnny rnso In him with tho
thought that ho might be walking this roo n
as Ito mastor for tho last time. Yos, It had
como to that. For against all, threatening
to conquer nil, wns tho girl who aat In his
mother's chair, her very body asserting the
claim that her thoughts did not know and
her mouth could not utter. And yet hla
mood had Infected her. The upturned oyea
wero full of excitement, tho parted lips
waited for a word from him,
Ho returned to Cecily nnd stood by her.
Tho sympathy between thorn kept her still;
she watched, she waited. For minutes h.
wns silent; nil thought of tlmo was gono,
Now she know thnt ho had something great
to say. Was It thnt ho would and could
have no more to do with Janlo Iver; that
nnother bad come, that his word must go
nnd thnt he loved her? Sho could hnrJly
bellove that. It was so short a time since
ho had soen her. Yet why could It not bo
true of him If It were true of her? And
wns It not? Elco why did she hang n
his words and keep her eyes on his? ih
why wns It ho 'etlll In tho room, as though
the world, too, waited for speech from his
lips?
"I can't do It!" burst from him suddenly,
"Hy Ood, I can't do It."
"What, Hnrry?" The words were no
more than brenthed,
Ho camo right up to her nnd caught her
by tho arm.
"You see all that everything here, You
love It?"
"Yes.".

"As much rh I do? Ah ranch as I ilo'.'"
Hln nnlf-control wus none. She mnilo no
answer; Bhe could not understand.
With an effort ho mastered nimscii.
"Ves, you lovo It," ho said, nnd n smllo
camo on his face. "I'm glad you lovo It.
As Ood lives, unless you'd loved It, I'd
havo spoken not a word of this, nut you'-e
onu of us; you'ro a Trietrani. I don't Know
the real rlKhts of It. but I'll run no risk
of cheating a Trlstrnm. You lovo It all?"
"Yes, yea, Hnrry. But why, dear Harry,
why?"
"Why? Ilecauso It's yours."
Ho lot go her hand und reeled back a
stop.
"Mine? What do you mean?" sho tried.
Still tho Idea, tho wild Idea, that ho offorid
It vlth himself was In her ralod.
"It's yours, not mine. It's never been
mine. You're tho owner of It. You're
Trlstrnm of Blent."
"I I Tristram of Ulent?" She was utte-iy
bewildered. For he was not a lover. No
lover ever spoke llko that.
"Yes, I say, yes!" His volco roso Im
periously as It pronounced the words that
throw away his rule. "You're Lady
Trlstrnm nf Dlent."
Sho rose to her height and stood facing
blm.
"And you? And you?"
"Harry? Harry? Harry what?"
Ho smiled as he looked at hor; as his
eyes met herB he smiled.
"Harry what? Harry nothing," ho said.
"Harry nothlnw at all."
He turned and left her alone In the. r"om.
She sank back Into tho grcnt armclnlr
where Addlo Trlstrnm bad been wont to ..It.
