The Gentleman
From Indiana
' By BOOTH TARKKGTON
t CsswWM. ISM, tr Ut4 4 McCat C,
"1 cwi't valt till then. I've Wn want
ing to we him every minute sine
I "SaT"!,' and ufe Imsii'iXcca ncfff me.
Nobody could even point bUn out to me.
Where Im tie gone? I wnnt to are blru
now." " -
"Want to dlHclmrKO bin) again?" aald
a voice from the door, and, turning,
they aaw tlmt Mr. Martin stood tbere
observing them.
'No," aald Harkleaa. "I want to give
blni the Herald. Do you know where
be 17" '
Mr. Martin stroked bis beard delib
erately. "The person you apeak of
hadn't ought to lie very burd to find In
Carlow, and-wcll, maybe when found
you'll wnnt to put a kind of a codicil
to tlmt deed to the Herald. The com
mittee waa rccklcsa enough to hire that
carriage of your by the day, and Keat
ing and Wrrcn Smith are sitting In it
up at the corner with their feet on the
cushions to show bow used they are
to riding around with four white horse
every dny In the week. It'e waiting
till you're ready to go out to Brlacoc'.
There's, an hour before auppcr time, and
you can talk to young Flabee all you
want He'a out there."
Tbe first word Warren Smith spoke
had lifted tbe veil of young Flabee'a
duplicity; bad shown John with what
One intelligence and supreme delicacy
and sympathy young FUbee bad work
ed for blni, had understood bliu nnd
bad made him. If tbe open attack on
McCuue hau been mude and tbe damna
tory evidence published In llarklcaa'
own pnper while Harklcss himself wa
a candidate and rival be would have
felt dishonored. The McCuue paper
could have been used for Halloway'a
benefit, but not for bis own, and yonng
Flsbee bad understood and bad saved
blm. It was a point of honor that many
would Lave held fluical and Inconsist
ent, but one that young Flabee bad
comprehended waa vital to llarklcs.
And this was the man be bad dis
charged like a dishonest servant tbe
man who bud thrown wbat (In Carlow
eyea) waa riches Into bis lap, the man
who bad made hi paper and who hud
made bliu and saved blm. Ilarklca
wanted to ace young Fisbee as be long
ed to see only one other person In tbe
world.
As tbo barouche drove up to the
brick bouse be made out through tbe
trees a rctrcatlve flutter of skirts on
the porch, and tbe thought crossed his
mind that Minnie bad flown Indoora
to give some final directions toward the
preparation of the banquet But when
the barouche baited at the Kate be was
surprised to see her waving' to him
from the steps, while Tom Meredith and
Mr. Bcnco and Mr. Boswell formed a
little court around ber. Llge Wllletts
rode up on horseback at tbe same mo
ment, and the Judge was waiting In
front of the gate. 1 lark less stepped out
of the barouche and took bis band. "I
was told young Flsbee waa here."
"Young Flsbee la here," said the
Judge.
Mr. Flsliee enmo around tbo corner
of the bouse and went toward Hark
less. "FiHbee," cried tbe latter, "where
la your nephew?"
Tbe old man took bis band In both
bis own and looked blm between tbe
eyes and thus stood while there was a
long pause, tbe others watching them.
"You must not say that I told you," he
said at last. "Go Into tbe garden."
But when Hnrkless' step crunched
the garden there was no one tbere.
Asters were blooming In beds between
the green rosebushes, and their many
fingered hands were flung open in wide
surprise that be should expect to find
young Flsbee tbere. It was Just before
sunset Birds were gossiping In tbe
sycamores on tho bank. At the foot of
the garden, near the creek, there were
some tall hydrangea bushes, flower
laden, nnd beyond them one broad
shaft of sun 6 mote the creek bends for
a mile in that flat land aud crJed tbe
garden like a bright taut drawn veil.
Harkless passed the bushes and step
ped out into this gold brilliance. Then
be uttered a cry and stopped. Helen
was standing beside the hydrangeas
with both bauds pressed to ber face
and ber eyes cast on tbe ground. She
bad run away as far as she could run.
There were high fences extending
down to the creek on each side, and tbe
water waa beyoud.
"You!" be said. "You! Your
She did not lift her eyes, but began
to move away from him with little
backward steps. When she reached
the bench on the bank she spoke with
a quick intake of breath and In a voice
he almost failed to bear, tbe merest
whisper, and her words came so slow
ly that sometimes minutes separated
them. "Can yon will you keep me on
tbelleraldr
"Keep you"
He cam near ber. "I don't under
stand, la It you-you who are, her
again?"
"Have you forgiven me? You know
now why I wouldn't resign? You
forgive my that telegram?"
"What telegram?"
"The one thut came to you this
morning."
"Your telegram?"
"Yes."
"P'd vou send me one?"
"Yes."
"It did not come to me."
"Yes-It did."
."But what wa It about?"
"It was signed," be said; "It wat
signed" 8lie paused and turned balf
way, not lifting the downcast lashes.
Her band,, resting upon the back of the
bench, waa shaking, fche put It behind J
uer. 'men ner eyes were iinea a nine,
and, though they did not meet his, be
sow them, and glory sprang Into be
ing in bis heart. Her voice fell still
lower, and two heavy tears rolled down
ber check. 'It waa signed," she whis
pered, "It was signed-'H. Flsbee.' "
He began to tremblo from bead to
foot There was a long alienee She

"Yon mean then-then it waa your

"You!"
"Yes."
"And you yon have yon bava been

"All-nil except tbe week yon were

Tbe bright veil that wrapped them

qnlct, gathering dusk. He tried to
loosen bis neckband; it seemed to be
choking him. "I I can't I don't com
prehend it. I am trying to realize
what it all means."
"It means nothing," she answered.
"There waa an editorial yesterday,"
be aald, "an editorial that I thought
was about Itodncy MeCune. Did yon
write ltr
"Yes."
"It was about-me wasn't ltr
"Yea."
"It Bald-it aald that-that I bad won
the the love of every person in Car
low county."
Suddenly she found her voice. "Do
not misunderstand me," she aald rapid
ly. "I have done the little that I bave
done out of gratitude." She faced him
now, but without meeting bis eyes. "I
owed you more gratitude than a wom
an ever owed a man before, I think,
and I would have died to pay a part
of it."
"What gratitude did yon owe me?"
"What gratitude? For what you did
for my father."
"I have never seen your father In my
life."
"Listen. My father is a gentle old
man with wblte balr and kind eyes.
My name is my uncle's. He and my
aunt have been good to me as a father
and mother since I waa seven years
old, and they gave me their name by
law, and I lived with them. My fa
ther came to see me once a year; I nev
er came to see him. He always told me
everything waa well with him, that bis
life waa happy, and I thought it was
easier for him not having me to take
care of, be has been so poor ever since
I was a cbHd. Once he lost the little
he had left to him in the world, his
only way of making his living. He had
no friends; lie was hungry and desper
ate, and he wandered. I was dancing
and going about wearing Jewels only
I did not know. All the time the brave
henrt wrote me happy letters. I should
have known, for tbere was one who
did and who saved blm. When at last
I came to see my fatlier be told me be
had written of his idol before, but It
was not till I came that he told it all
to me. Do you know what I felt?
While bis daughter was dancing co
tillons a stranger had taken bis hand
and and" A sob rose in ber 4hroat
and checked her utterance for a mo
ment but she threw up her head proud
ly. "Gratitude, Mr. Harklessr she
cried. 'T am James Fisbee's daugh
ter."' He fell back from the bench with a
sharp exclamation and stared at her
through the gray twilight She went
on hurriedly, still not looking at him.
"I wanted to do something to show you
that I could be ashamed of my vile
neglect of him something to show yon
bis daughter could be grateful and it
has been such dear, happy work, the
little I bave done, that it seems, after
all, that I bare done it for love of my
self. It Is what I bad always wanted
to do to earn a living for myself, to
live with my father. When I came
here, my aunt and uncle were terribly
afraid I would stay with him. It was
to prevent this that they determined to
go abroad, and my father said I must
go back to them. Then you were
were hurt and he needed me so much
ha let me stay. When you when
you told me" she broke off with
struuipv fluttering tuU LnarUcuhite lit
tle laugh that was balf tears and then
resumed in another tone "when ydu
told me you cared that night that
night of the atorni how could I be
iiro? It bad been only two days, you
see. and evn If I could bave been sure
of niytwif why, I couldn't nave toia
you. Oh, I had so brazenly thrown my
self at your bead time and again those
two days in niy my worship of your
goodness to my father and my excite
ment In recognizing in bis friend the
hero of my girlhood that you bad ev
ery right to think I cared; but if but
if I bad If I had-loved you with my
whole soul I could not bave why, no
woman could bave I mean the sort of
girl I am couldn't bave admitted it
must bave denied it Do you think that
then I could have answered 'Ye. even
li 1 bad wanted to e en If I bad been
sure of myself? And now" Her
voice sank again to a whisper. "And
now" '
"And now?" be said tremulously. She
gave a hurried glance from right to left
and from left to right like one in ter
ror seeking a way of escape; she gath
ered ber skirts in ber band as If to run
into tbe garden, but suddenly she turn
ed and ran to him. She threw ber anna
bout his neck and kissed blm on tbe
forehead.
When they heard the Judge calling
from the orchard they went back
through tbe garden toward tbe bouse.
It was dark. Tbe whitest aster were
but gray splotches. Tbere was no one
In tbe orchard. Briscoe had gone in
doors. .
"Did yon know yoo are to drive me
Into town in the phaeton for tbe fire
works?" she asked.
"Fireworks V
"Yes. The'great Harkless baa come
home." Even in the darkness be could
see the look the vision bad given blm
when tbe barouche turned Into the
square. She smiled upon him and
said, "All afternoon I was wishing I
could bave been your mother." ,
He clasped ber band more tightly.
"This wonderful world!" be cried.
"Yesterday I bad a doctor- doctor to
cure me of loveslckness!"
After a time they bad proceeded a
little nearer tbe bouse, "We must
hurry," she said. "I am sure tbey bave
been waiting for us." Thla was true;
they bad.
From tbe dining room came laughter
and hearty voices, and the windows
were bright with tbe light of many
lamps. By and by tbey stood Just out
side tbe patch of light that fell from
one of tbe wludows.
"Look!" said Helen. "Aren't they
good, dear people?"
"Tbe beautiful people!" he anawered.
