CHAPTER XXVI.
Darwin K. Anthony.
DOUT noon on Monday Edith
I Cortlandt received a caller.
. The nnuie she read on the
, J card her maid handed her
gave bur a start of surprise and set her
wits whirling In speculation.
She was greeted by a gigantic old
man whh a rumbling voice. lie was
pacing back nud forth with the rest
lessness of a polar bear.
LIow do you do, Mrs. Cortlandt r
he begun at Bight of her, Ills bin voice
lloodiiiK the room. "I'm sorry to dis
turb you under the circumstances. 1
knew your husband silently, und I've
heard about you. I extend my sym
palhy."
She bowed. "When did you arrive V"
"Just now. Cume across In one of
those blauked Joy wagons fifty wiles
uii hour. I know everything, madam.
What I didn't know before I la titled 1
learned on the way across the Isthmus,
so don't let's wnste time. leuco of a
position for you to he In I understand,
and ull that and I'm sorry for you.
Now, let's get down to business, for 1
must get back to New York."
It wns impossible not to feel Darwin
K. Anthony's force. It spoke In his
every tone and action. It looked out
from his harsh lined features and
showed in his enciptii: movements.
Ho was a (Trent granite block of a
man, powerful in physique, la mind
and In determination.
"In what way may I bo of service to
you?" she Inquired coldly.
"1 want my boy," he said simply,
and sho began to see that underneath
his cold and domineer ing exterior his
heart was torn by a great distress.
"You know all the circumstances of
course?"
"1 do. That's why 1 came straight
to you. I know you're the keystone of
the whole affuir, so I didn't waste time
with these other people. Kirk's a
hlunkt-d Idiot arid always has been. He
Isn't worth the powder to blow to
-excuse me I mean he's Just u ne'er-do-well.
Hut 1 suppose I'll have to do
my duty by him. I Just had to kick
him out. Sorry I didn't do It sooner."
"If you have cut him olT why do you
care what becomes of hlui?"
fliirwln K. Anthony's eyes dimmed,
hut Ills voice rose licr'-ely. "He's in J
hoy. u ml I've a right to treat hlin any
blanked wny I please but nobody else
Is going to abuse hiiril These Span
lards can't do It! I'll teach them to
lay bonds on tny-!'! I don't earn
what he's done. They've got to give
him up. And bo's going back with
me. He's going homo. I I want
him
"Why have you cume to me?" she
queried.
"Ilocause you must know- the truth
If anybody dK-s, und I want your
hulp." Ills voh-0 softened suddenly,
and he recanted h'T with a gentle
kindness that w-as purposing. "I've
beard nil about you and Kirk. In fact,
I've known what win going on nil the
time, for I've bad a n.un on Mi track
nl'ht and day. Von uiay know him-
ClirTord? Well, he Mb. wed Kirk that
night after the (ci.'-per to your has
hand, but Anson didn't dare call him
to the stand at the hearing for fear
this Alfarez would pei j-.ire more of hl
black and tans."
"Ho Clifford Is y.-.i:r ri.mi?'
"Yes. I t'k birn . 7 my Hytetn and
sent bliii down here at soon as 1 got
Kirk's Idiotic. Impad -id Ictt.-r "- Tic
old man began to Kpntter with ludig
nation. "What do vci think lie wrote
me. Mrs. Cortlandt? He had the Im
pudence to turn down a good J..I. I of
fered him because 'Us wife might not
like our climate.' Thank. Qod, be had
sense enom.-h not to do that!"
"Then you don't know?"
"Know what?"
"That he is married."
"I nation.'" roared Anthony furi
ously. She nodded. "A Miss Caravel. They
were married a week ngo." Slio broke
down miserably and bid her face lu
her hands. II,. strode to her with a
light of understanding in his eyes,
haying a great hand upon her drooping
head, he exclaimed with wonderful
softness:
"My dear Mrs. Cortlamlt. I'm very
sorry for you, Indeed 1 am. Now
now, try to face It squarely. All good
women lire brave, und you'ro a good
woman We both love him, and 1
know we can save blui if wo pull to
gether." "Yes. yes!" She raised her "drawn,
white face eagerly to Ills. "It will
only takei a word, but I have liocullke
a mad woman. I .couldn't hear to give
him up. und when I learned the truth
I thought I could let lilm-suftVr. Hut
I couldn't. Ho is the lirst nud ouly
man"
"I know." He patted her In a way
that said more than words.
"I couldn't have stood out union
longer."
"Then you have proof?" His face
was wild with eagerness.
"This. Take II quit kly. only found
it last night It had been mislaid lu
the confusion. I meant to give It up.
I really did." With clumsy fingers sho
drew from the front of her dress au
unsealed letter and banded It to hlui.
"Stephen was not a bad man, you see,
and lie had no Intention of wronging
an Innocent person."
Parw ln K. Anthony's pallor matched
hers as lie read the sheet; thou he ex
claimed weakly: "Thank tiodl Some
thing told me lo come straight to you.
Something always tells me where to
tlnd tho heart of things."
Kirk wns considerably surprised that
afternoon when a sergeant nml two
policemen enmo to bis cell, signifying
that ho wns to accompany them. He
could not make out where they were
taking bliu, and, despite their unusual
politeness, they were dense to all In
quiries. The coach drew up at last
before B large, white building, and ho
was told to descend. 'p R flight of
stairs bo was escorted, bis pulses
quickening with apprehension, down a
long corridor and Into a largo room,
where ho saw Ittinnels, Colonel Jol
son, Anson, Clifford, a dozen or more
I'ananiaiilan olllclals and-ho stopped
In Ids tracks as his eyes fell upon a
huge, white crowned figure Hint came
to meet him.
A certain harsh yet tender voice pro
nounced his name. He felt his Iiiindu
crushed In his father's palms, found
the old man's arm nbout his nhouldeni
and saw tho deep set, steel blue eyes
he loved so well wet and Bhlny. A
sudden sense of security swept over
hlui, banishing all his fears.
"My kid!" the old man said, shak-
Ingly. "II how havo they t routed you,
duster?" It was a nickname ho had
given ids son when he was a sturdy,
round faced urchin of eight.
"You came, didn't you?" Kirk said,
ill a voh e tct at all like his own.
"Of course I came, the liiHtiint Clif
ford cabled me that these Idiots had
arrested you I'.y ! They'll sweat
