It was an awful Jar to father. For two
cents I'd elope with Harry."
"It would be pretty difficult for an
officer on duty to elope, don't you
think?" asked Graydon, amused.
"Not If ho loved the girl. He does
too. But I haven't told you the worst.
Mother says 1 am being absolutely
spoiled out here In Manila, and she
says flatly that she's going to take me
back to the States. Isn't It awful?"
"Back to the fellow In New York?"
smiled Jane encouragingly. '
Ethel thought for a moment, and a
dear little smile came Into ber troubled
yes.
"I hope he hasn't gone and fallen In
lave with some other girl," she said.
It was true, as Jane soon learned
Ithat Mrs. Uarbln bad concluded to re
turn to the United States with Ethel.
Jane's aunt bad grown immeasurably
' tired of Manila and perhaps a little
! more tired of the colonel. It was she
! who aroused the colonel's antipathy to
little Lieutenant Sopcr. She dwelt
j upon the dire misfortune that was pos-
slblo If Ethel continued to bask lu the
i society of "those young ninnies." The
I colonol developed a towering rage and
; a groat fear that Ethel might become
I fatally contaminated before she could
be whisked off of the Island. It was
decided that Mrs. Harbin and Ethel
! should return to the United States
1 soon after the first of March to take
op their residence In New York city.
."Mother wants to be soldier's
wldow-on parole," sniffed Ethel,, al
most audlbly.enougb for her father's
ears.
Mrs. Harbin at once Informed Jane
that she was expected to return with
them. She demurred at first, purely
for the sake of appearances, but In the
end agreed to tender ber resignation to
the Ked Cross society. The knowledge
that Graydon Bansemer'a . dltkeftarge
was soon forthcoming and that to
tended, to return to America la tt
spring bad more to do with this fatcl
slon than she was willing to admit
She therefore announced her ambition
to become a trained nurse and gave no
heed to Mrs, Harbin's Insinuating
smile.
Letters of late from Mrs. Cable had
been ur'w - '

heart In silent longing for ner return.
He wrote to her himself that be ex

Graydon Bansemer one day received

of each. Throe men had written to

CHAPTER XXVII.
LAfiLY In March a great
transport sailed attorn Ma
nila bay laden with sick
and disabled soldiers the
lame, the healthless and
the mad. It was not a
merry shipload, although hundreds
were rejoicing In the escupe from the
hardships of life In the Islands. Gray
don Bansemer was among them, weak
and distrustful of his own future, al
beit a medal of honor and the prospect
of an excellent position were ahead of
bun. His discharge was assured. Ha
bad served his country briefly, but well,
and he was not loath to rest on his in
significant laurels and to respect the
memory of the Impulse which had
driven him Into service. In bis heart
he felt that time would make him as
strong as ever, despite the ugly scar In
his side. It was a question with him,
however, whether time could revive
the amblton that had been smothered
during the first days of despair. He
looked ahead with keen Inquiry, specu
lating on the uncertain whirl of for
tune's wheel.
June was obduracy Itself In respect
to bis pleadings. A certain light In her
eyes had at lust brought conviction to
his soul. He began to fear, with a
mighty pain, that she would not re
treat from the stand she bad tnken.
Sbe went on board with Mrs. Har
bin and Ethel. There were other
wives on board who bad found tem
porary release from Irksome but volun
tary enlistment Jane's resignation
.bom the Red Cross society deprived
her of the privileges which would have
permitted her to see much of Graydon.
Tbey were kept separated by . the
transport's regulations he was a com
mon soldier, she of the officers' mess.
The restrictions were cruel and relent
less. They saw but little of one an
other during the thirty days, but their
thoughts were busy with the days to
come. Graydon grew stronger and
more confident as the ship forged near
er to the Golden Gate, Jane more wist
ful and resigned to the new purpose
which was to give Ufa another color
ing, If possible. They were but ono
day out from Snn Francisco when ho
found the opportunity to conyerso with
her as she passei through the quarters
of the luckless ones.
"jane r? .nP nn nnswer
u
lime," he whispered eagerly. "You
must consent Do you want to ruin
both of our lives?"
"Why will you persist, Graydou?
You know I cannot"
"You can. Consider me aa well aa
yourself. I want you. Isn't -that
enough You can't ask for more love
than I wHI give. Tomorrow we'll bo
on share. 1 hare many .things to da
before I am liberty to go my way.
Won't yoii wait for met It woo't be
tang. We can be married la San Praa
daco. Mr. and Mrs. Cable are to meet
you. Tell them, dearest that you want
to go home with me. The home woo I
be In Chicago, but It will be home Just
the same."
Dear Graydon, I am sorry, I am
heartsick, but I cannot, I dare not"
Graydon Bansemer was a man as
well as a lover. He gave utterance to
a perfectly manlike expression, coming
from the bottom of his tried soul:
it's d d nonsense, Janel" Ho said
It so feelingly that Bhe smiled even as
she shook ber head and moved away.
Til see you tomorrow on shore?" he
called, repentant and anxious.
"Yes!"
the next day they landed. Graydon
waved an anxious farewell to ber as
he was hurried off with the lame, the
halt and the blind. He saw David Ca
ble and his wife on the pier, and to
spite of himself be could net repel aa
eager, half fearful glance through the
crowd of faces. Although he did eat
expect his father to meet him, be
dreaded the thought that he might be
there, after all. To his surprise, as he
stood waltlug with his comrades be
saw David Cable turn suddenly and
after a moment's hesitation wave his
hand to blm, the utmost friendship In
his now haggard face. His heart
thumped Joyously at this sign of amity.
As the soldiers moved away Cattle
paused and looked after him, a grim
though compassionate expression In bis
eyes. Ilo and Jane were ready to con
front the customs officers.
. "I wonder If ho knows nbout his
father," mixed he. Juno caught her
breath and looked tit him with some
thing like terror In her eyes, lie
abruptly changed the subject, deploring
his lapse Into the past from which
they wero flying to shield her.
Tho following inorulng Graydon re
ceived a uoto from Cabio, a frank but
carefully wolfed message, lu which
he was Invited to take the trip east In
the private car of the president of the
raclfie. Lakes and Atlantic. Mrs. Ca
ble joined her husband In the Invita
tion. Cue of the sore spots In Gray
don's coascli was ben led by this
exhibition of kindness. Morever, Ca
ble stated that his party would delay
departure until Graydon's papers were
passed upon and he waa free from red
tape restrictions.
The young SaVn on landing sent tele
grams to his father and Ellas Droom.
the latter bavfcig asked him to notify
him aa eoon aa be reached Saa Inra
j3
Cisco. Graydon was not a Utft pu
zled by the fact that the old clerk
seemed strangely at variance with his
father In respect to the future, in
both telegrams he announced that be
would start cast as soon as possible.
There was a letter from Droom
watting him at headquarters. It was
brief, but It specifically urged him to
fi,av...aa nmnosed by Mr.
Clegg and reiterated his pressing com
mand to the young man to stop for a
few. days in Chicago. In broad and
characteristically uncouth sentences be
assured blm that while the city held
no grudge against him and that the
young men would welcome him with
open arms his groundless fears to the
contrary he would advise blm to
choose New York. There was one
rather sentimental allusion to "old
Broadway" and another to "Gren
nltch," as he wrote It. In conclusion,
he asked him to come to the office,
which was still In the U building,
adding that If he wished to avoid the
newspaper men he could find seclusion
at the old rooms In Wells street. "Your
father," he said, "bas given up his
apartment, and bas taken lodgings. I
doubt very much if he will be willing
to Bharo them with you, In view of the
position he has assumed In regard to
your future, although he says you may
always call upon him for pecuniary as
sistance." A draft for $1500 was In
closed with the letter.
Graydon was relieved to find that
there would be no Irksome delay at
tending his official discbarge. When
he walked out a "free man," as be
called It, a gentlemanly pension attor
ney locked arms with htm and huug ou
like a leech until the Irritated soldier
shook him off with less consideration
than vigor.
Ho went directly to the Palace hotel,
where he knew the Cables were stop
ping. David Cable came down lu re
sponse to bis card. The two men shook
hands, each eying the other Inquiringly
for an Instant.
"I want you to understand, Graydon,
that I am your friend. Nothing has al
tered my esteem for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Cable. I hardly ex
pected It"
"I don't see why, my boy. But we'll
let all that pass. Mrs. Cable wants to
see you." ;
"Before we go any farther I want to
make myself dear to you. I still hope
to marry Jane. Sbe says she cannot
become my wife.. You understand wby,
sir. I only want to tell you that her
objections are not objections to me.
She is Jane, and I love ber, sir, be
cause she Is." '
"I hope you can win her over, Gray
don. She seems determined, however,
and she Is unhappy. You can't blame
her. either. If there were base or com

much difference to ber pride. But she's

"It doesn't matter, so far as I am

. "I expect to talk It over with Mr.

"Come up to our apartments. Oh,
pardon me, Graydon, I want to ask
you If you have sufficient money to
carry you through? I know the pay
of a private Is not great"
"Thank you. I have saved nearly
all of It My father baa sent me a
draft for five hundred. 1 don't expect
to use It, of course."
"Your father?" asked Cable, with a
quick, searching look.

the following day, accompanied by the
Harblns and Graydon Bansemer. There
was no mistaking the Joy which lay
under restraint hi the facea and attl

grown younger and less gray. It
seemed, aud bis wife was glowing
with a new and subdued happiness.

see that she had suffered In mtrny
ways. W. keen, eager appeal for ap

la Its stead was the appeal for love
and contentednesa. Harajness, now
straggling against the siMfrtlna of
sober pain, was giving a sweetness to
her eyes that had been lost In tbe a i

He loves you, and you are not doing
the right thing by him." .
"You'll find I am right In the end,"
she said stubbornly. O
"I can't bear the thought of your go

tested Frances Cable. "There Is no ne

homes and in any pluce ydu like. Why
waste your life In"

"Good Lord, child, don't be foolish!"
exclaimed Cable. "That hurts me more
than you think. Everything we have
Is yours."
"I'm sorry I said It, daddy. I did not
mean It In that way. It Isn't the
money, you know, and It Isn't the
home, either. No; you must let me
choose my own way of living the rest
of my life. I came from a foundling
hospital. A good and tender nurse
found me there and gave me the hap
piest years of my life. I shall go back
there and give the rest of my years to
children who are less fortunate than I
was. I want to help them, mother, Just
as you did only It Is different with
me."
"You'll see It differently some day,"
said Mrs. Cable earnestly.
"I don't object to your helping tbe
foundlings, Jane," said Cable, "but I
don't see why you have to be a nurse

HE spring floods dehyej
the eastern express
bringing the purty ,0
Chicago uearly a day
late. The Cables and the
Harblns went at nn .,.
thu Annex, where David Cable hm
tnkeu rooms. They had given uptUelr
north side home some moubs before
both he and his wife retiring into the
seclusion that a great hotel can afford
when necessary.
Graydon hurried off to his father's
office, eager; yet half fearing, to meet
the man who was responsible for the
broken Unit In his life this odd year
lie recalled as he drove across towii
that a full year had elupsed since lie
spent that unforgettable night iu Kilns
Droom's uncanny home. Was he uever
to forget that night that nlglit wheu
his soul seemed even more squalid
than tbe borne of the recluse?
All of his baggage except a suit case
had been left at the station. He did
not know what had become of his be
longings In the former home of bis fa
ther, nor, for that matter, did he care.
At the U building he ventured a
diffident greeting to the elevator hoy,
whom he remembered. The boy looked
at him quizzically and nodded with
customary aloofness. Graydon found
himself hoping that be would not meet
Bobby Rigby. He also wondered as
the car shot up how his father bud
managed to escape from the meshes
that were drawn nbout him on the eve
of his departure. Ills chances had
looked black and hopeless enough then,
yet he still maintained the same old
offices in the building. Ills name was
on the directory board downstairs.
Graydon's heart gave a quick bound
with the thought that his father had
proved the charges false after all.
Ellas Droom was busy directing the
labors of two ablebodied men and a
charwoman, all of whom were tolling
us they bad never tolled before. The
woman was dusting law' books, and
the men were packing them away la
boxes. The front room of the suit was
In a state of devastation. A dozen
boxes stood about the floor; rugs aud
furniture were huddled In the most re
mote corner awaiting the arrival of tbe
"secondhand man;" tbe floor was lit
tered, with paper. Droom was direct
ing operations with a broken umbrella.
It seemed like a lash to the JoUers.
"Now lefs get through yfth this

Eddie Deever, with his usual Indo

his cigarette and commenting with rash
freedom upon the efforts or tne per
