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 bod turnedfnjaway from blm. When BO Bpoke 1il6 Tolcrwa osToiraiTiew and be spoke as slowly as she bad. "Yon mean then-then it waa your "Yea." "You!" "Yes." "And you yon have yon bava been here all tbe time?" "All-nil except tbe week yon were -hurt" Tbe bright veil that wrapped them was drawn away, and they stood In tbe -. "Four he aald. -Your 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. THE EJtD.
