CHAPTER TT
At the moment when Stephen was
sounding; the horn to summon the
young; mystlo to his supper, a promis
cuous crowd of loafers with chairs tilt
ed against the wall of the village tav
ern received a shock. Thev hearrt tha
tinkle of bells In the distance, and
looKing in the direction of this unus
ual sound, saw a team of snlendlrl onal.
black horses dash round a corner and
whirl a strange vehicle to the door of
ino inn.
There were two extraordinary fig
ures on the front seat of the wagon.
The driver was a sturdy, thick-set man
whose enormous moustache aua-roatari
a crow with outstretched wings. As if
to emphasize the ferocious aspect lent
him by this hairy canopy which com
pletely concealed his mouth. Nature
had duplicated It In miniature by
brows meeting above his nose and
spreading themselves, plume-like, over
a pair or eyes which gleamed so
brightly that they could be felt, al
though they were so deep-set that they
could scarcely be aean.
This fierce and buccaneerlsh person
summoned the dosing hostler in a
coarse. Imperative voice, flung him the
reins, sprang from his seat, and assist
ed his companion to alight She gave
him her hand with an air of utter In
difference, bestowed unon him nnlthnr
smile nor thanks, and dropped to the
ground with a light flutter like a bird.
Turning Instantly toward the tavern,
she ascended the steps of the porch
under a fusillade of glances of aston
ishment and admiration. Young and
beautiful, dressed In a Dlctureanue unit
brilliant Spanish costume, she carried
Herself with the ease and dignity of
a princess, and looked strnle-ht nn.i
the staring crowd. Her great, dreamy
eyes aia not seem to note them.
When she and her companion had
entered the hall and closed the door
behind them, every tilted chair came
down to the floor with a bang, and
many voices exclaimed In concert,
"Who Is she?" Curiosity was satisfied
at 8 o'clock In the evening, for at that
hour Doctor Parnnal
as he fantastically called himself,
opened the doors of his traveling
apothecary shop and exposed his "uni
versal panecea- tor sale, while at the
same time. "Paneeta. tha Otiann nf
Fortune Tellers," entered her booth and
spread out upon a table the parapher
nalia by which she undertook to dis
cover the secrets of the future.
When the evenlnar'a -work was endari.
Pepeeta at once retired; but the doctor
entered the bar-room, followed by a
curious and admiring crowd. He was
In a hapry and expansive frame of
mind, for he had dona a "land nfflra"
business in this frontier village which
ne was now for the first time visiting.
He looked over the crowd with an
inclusive superiority and waved his
nana witn an inclusive gesture. The
motley throng of loafers sidled up to
the bar with a deDrecatorv and auto
matic movement They took their
glasses, clinked them, nodded to their
entertainer, muttered Innnhamnt tnn.t.
and drank his health. The delighted
landlord, feeling It Incumbent upon
him to break the silence, offerer thn
friendly observation: "S-s-see you
s-s-tutter. S-s-stutter a little m-m-my
own self."
'Shake!" resDonded the dor-tor. who
was In too complacent a mood to tako
offense, and the worthies grasped
nan as.
"Don't know any w-w-way to s-s-
stop it do you?" asked the landlord.
"No, I d-d-don't; t-t-trled every
thing. Even my "universal p-p-pana-
cea' won't do It and what that can't
do can't be d-d-done. Incurable d-d-
dlsease. Get along all right when I go
slow like this; but when I open the
throttle, get all b-b-balled up.. Bad
thing for my business. Give any rrtan
a thousand d-d-dollars that'll cure
me," the quack replied, slapping his
trousers pocket as If there were mil
lions in it
"Co-co-couldn't go q-q-quite as high
as that; but wouldn't mind a hu-hd-bundred,"
responded the landlord, cor
dially.
"Tell you what it Is, b-b-boys," said
the quack, "if it wasn't for this im
pediment in my s-s-speech, I wouldn't
need to work more'n about another
y-y-yearl"
'How's that?" asked someone in the
crowd.
"C-o-cause if I could talk as well as
I o-o-can think, J could make a for
tune 'side of which old John Jacob
Astors would look like a p-p-penny
savings D-b-DanKl
, Tou could?"
' "If I can find a man that can do the
t-talklng (I mean real talk, you know;
talk a crowd blind as b-b-bats), I've
got something better'n a California g-g-gold
mine."
"Better get Davo Corso.i," said the
village . wag from the rear of the
crowd, and up went a wild shout of
laughter.
"Who's D-D-Dave Corson?" asked
the doctor.
"Quaker preacher. Toung feller
bout 10 years old."
"Can he t-t-talk?"
-Talk I He kla talk a mule Into a
trottln' hoaa in leas'n three minutes."
"He's my man!" exclaimed the doc
tor, at which the crowd laughed again.
"What are you laughing at?" he
asked, turning upon them savagely, his
loud voice and threatening manner
frightening those who stood nearest
so that they instinctively stepped back
a pace or two.
"No offense, Joe," said one' of thorn;
"but yoa couldn't get him. He's pious."
"Pious! What do I care?"
"Well, these here pious Quakers are
US in their notions. But you kin Jedge
far yourself 'bout his talkln, for tharo's j
goin ter be an applnted Quaker meet
in' to-morrow night and he'll speak.
You kin go an" listen, if you want to."
"I'll be there, boys, and d-d-don't
you forget it I'll hook him I Never
saw anything I couldn't buy If I had a
little of the p-p-proper stuff about
me."
"I say, Doo, that daughter of yours
knows her biz when It comes to telling
fortunes," ventured a young dandy,
whose head had been turned by Pe
peeta a beauty.
"D-d-daughter!" snapped the quack,
turning sharply upon him; "she's not
my daughter, she's my wife!"
In order to comprehend the relation
ship of this strangely mated pair, we
must go back five or six years to a
certain day when this same Dootor
Aesculapius rode slowly down the
main street of a small city in Western
Pennsylvania, and then out along a
rugged country highway. A couple of
miles brounght him to the camp of a
band of gypsies.
Around a campflre was a picturesque
group of persons, all of whom, with i
single exception, vanished at the ap
proach of the stranger. The man who
stood his ground was a truly sinister
being. He was tall, thin and angular;
his clothing was scant and ragged,
his face bronzed with exposure to the
sun.
"Good morning, Baltasar," said the
visitor.
The gypsy acknowledged his saluta
tion with a frown.
"I wish to sell this horse," the trav
eler added, without appearing to notice
his cold reception.
The gypsy swept his eye over the
animal and shook his head.
"If you will not buy, perhaps you
will trade," the traveler said.
"Come," was the laconlo response,
and so saying the gypsy turned to
wards the forest which lay Just beyond
the camp. The "dootor" obeyed. A
moment later he found himself in a se
questered spot where there was an
improvised stable; and a dozen or
more horses glancing up from their
feed whinnied a welcome.
A little rivulet lay across their path,
and up from the margin of it where
she had been gathering water cresses
there sprang a young girl, who cast a
startled glance at him, then bounded
swiftly toward a tent and vanished
through the opening. This keen ad
mirer of horses was equally suscepti
ble to the charms of female beauty.
So swift an apparition would have be
wildered rather than illumined the
mind of an ordinary man. But the
quack was not an ordinary man. ' He
was endowed with a certain rude pow
er of divination which enabled htm to
see in a single instant by swift intui
tion, more than the average man dis
covers by an hour of reasoning. By
this natural clairvoyance he saw at a
glance that this face of exquisite deli
cacy could no more have been coined
In a svpsy camp than a fine cameo
could be cut In an Indian wigwam. Ho
knew that all gypsies were thieves,
and that these were Spanish gypsies.
What was more natural than that he
should conclude with inevitable loglo
that this child had been stolen from
people of good if not of noble blood!
"Baltasarl" .he said.
The gypsy turned.
"You are a girl-thief as well as a
horse-thief. You stole this girl from
the family of a Spanish nobleman. I
am the representative of this family
and have followed your trail for years.
You thought I had come to get the
horse. You were mistaken; it was the
girl!"
"Perdltal" exclaimed the gypsy,
taken completely off his guard.
"Lost indeed," responded the quack,
scarcely able to conceal his pride In his
own astuteness. And thn he added
slowly: "She must be a burden to you,
Baltasar. You evidently never have
been able or never have dared to take
her back and claim the ransom which
you expected. I will pay you for her
and take her from your hands. It Is
the child I want and not vengeance.
What will you take for her?"
The doctor drew a leather wallet
from his pocket and held it up tantal
lzlngly. Its Influence was decisive.
"Pepeeta! Pepeeta!" called the gyp
sy. Out of the door of the tent she came,
her eyes fixed upon the ground, and
her fingers picking nervously at the
tinsel strings which fastened her bod
ice. "Gif me ze money and take her."
The doctor counted out the gold, and
then approached the child. For the
first time in his life he experienced an
emotion of reverence. There was some
thing about her beauty, her helpless
ness and his responsibility that made a
new appeal to his heart
Yielding to the gentle pressure of his
hand, she permitted herself to be lad
away. Not a good-bye was said. The
doctor lifted the child upon the :.orse's
back and climbed Into the saddle. The
beautiful child trembled; she also
wept She was parting from those
whose lives were base and cruel: but
they were the only human beings that
she knew. She was leaving a wagon
and a tent but It was the only home
that sne could remember.
To have a fellow-being completely
in our power makes us either utterly
cruel or utterly kind, and all that was
gentle in that great rough nature went
out in a rush of tenderness toward the
little creature who thus suddenly be
came absolutely dependent upon ' his
compassion. After they had ridden a
little way, he began in his rough fash
Ion to try to comfort her.
"Don't cry, Pepeeta! You ought to
be thankful that you have tot out of
the elutchea of those villains. You
could not have been worse off, and yu
may Do a great deal better! Tfcor

iou aon t want, to? Well, thafs all
right I won't bother you. But I want
you to Know that I love you, and that
you are never going to have any more
trouble as long as you live."
These were the kindest words the
child had ever had spoken to her. or at
least the kindeBt She could remamhnr.
They fell on her ears like music and
awakened gratitude and love in her
heart She ceased to sigh, and before
the ride to town was endM had be
gun to feel a vague sense of happi
ness. The next few years went full nf
strange adventures for these singular
companions. The quack had discov
ered certain clues to the past history
"of the child whom he had thus adopt
ed, and was firmly persuaded that shl
belonged to a noble family. He had
made all his plans to take her to Snaln
and establish her Identity in the hope
oi securing a great rewart. But Just
as he was about to exeouta thi.
scheme, he was seized by a disease
wnicn prostrated him for many
months, and threw him Into a nervous
condition In which he contracted the
habit of stammering. On his recovery
from his long sickness he found him
self stripped of everything he. had ac
cumulated; but his shrewdness and In
domitable will remained, and he soon
began to rebuild his shattered fortune.
During all these ups and d wns, Pe
peeta was his Inseparable and devoted
companion. The admiration which her
childish beauty excited in his heart
had deepened Into affection and finally
into love. When she reached the age
of 18 or 17 years, he proposed to her
the Idea of marriage. She knew noth
ing of her own heart, and little about
life, but had been accustomed to yield
Implicit obedience to h:i will. She con
sented and the ceremony was perform
ed by a Justice of the Peace in the
city of Cincinnati, a year or so before
their appearance in t'..e Quaker village.
An experience bo abnormal would have

had It not contained thj germs of
beauty and virtue Implanted at her
birth. They were still dormant but
not dead; they only awaited the sun
and rain of love to quicken them into

The quack had coarsened with the
passing years, but Pepeeta, withdraw
ing Into the sanctuary of her soul, liv
ing a life of vagnue dreams and half
conscious aspirations after something,

more gentle and submissive. As she
did not yet comprehend life, she did

incongruity. The vulgar people among
wnom sne lived, the vulgar scenes she
saw, passed across the mirror of her
soul without leaving permanent im
pression. She performed the coarse
duties of her life In a perfrnctory
manner. It was her body and not her
soul, her will and not her heart which
were concerned with them. What that
soul and that heart really were, re
malned to be seen.
(To be continued.)
A Moral Lesson.
Mike Powers, the Athletics' catcher,
said at a recent baseball banquet In
Philadelphia:
"All the talk there has been In New
York about crooked foot races and
crooked umpires and crooked fights
all this vague, formless talk about
crookedness makes me think of a
South Carolina meeting I once attend
ed. At tbe end of this meeting It was
decided to take up a' collection for
charity. The chairman passed the hat
himself. He dropped a dime in it for
a nest egg. Well, gentlemen, every
right hand there entered that hat
every right hand and yet, at the end
when the chairman turned the hal
over and shook it, not so much as hit
own contribution dropped out.
" 'Fo' de lan's sake!' he cried. 'Ah's
eben log' de dime Ah stahted wlv!'
"AH the rows of faces looked puz
zled. Who was the lucky man? That
was the question which tormented all.
Finally the venerable Calhoun White
summed up the situation.
" 'Breddern,' he said, solemnly, ris
ing from his seat, 'dar 'pears ter be a
great moral lesson roun' heah some,
whar.'"
A Case for Sympathy.
Two matrons of a certain western
city whose respective matrimonial
ventures did not In the first Instance
prove altogether satisfactory, met at
a woman's club one day, when the
first matron remarked:
"Hattle, I met your 'ex,' dear old
Tom, tho day before yesterday. We
talked much of you."
"Is that so?" asked the other ma
tron. "Did he seem sorry when you
told him of my second marriage?"
"Indeed, ho did; and said so most
frankly!" . ' '
"Honest?"
"Honest! He said be was extremely
sorry, though, he said, he didn't know
the man personally." Llpplncott'a.
Proof Ho Waa "Daaed."
He had pleaded the "detained at tbe
office" and tbe "balancing the books"
excuses so often that they had become
transparent, so when he arrived home
late on a recent evening he determined
to lean on tbe truth.
'Theodore, you've been drinking!"
said his Indignant wife.
"Sellna. m' dear, I cannot tell a lie

Why Ho Got Hie.
The vender of Images, who had Just
been thrown out of a large office build
ing, wept bitterly as he looked at his
torn clothes and broken wares.
"Who did this?" inquired the friend
ly cop. "I'll pinch 'em if you say the
word."
"No; It was my fault," said the vic
