General Resume of Important Events Throughout the W orll Hood River Road Bonds A re Held Valid by Courts If Celeste expected Nora to exhibit any signs of distress over the ap proaching departure, she was disap pointed. In truth, Nora was secretly pleased to be rid of these two suitors, much as she liked them. The Barone bad not yet proposed, and his sudden determination to return to Rome elimi nated this disagreeable possibility. She was glad Abbott was going be cause she had hurt him without inten tion, and the eight of him was, In spite of her innocence, a constant reproach Presently she would have her work, and there would be no time for loneli ness. The person who suffered keenest was Celeste. She was awake; the ten der little dream was goue; and bravely she accepted the fact. Never her agile fingers stumbled, and she played re markably well, from Beethoven, Chopin, Grieg, Rubinstein, MacDowell. And Nora, perversely enough, sang from old light opera. When the two men departed, Celeste went to her room and Nora out upon the terrace. It was after five. No one was about, so far as she could see. She stood enchanted over the trans formation that was affecting the moun tains and the lakes. How she loved the spot! How she would have liked to spend the rest of her days here! And how beautiful all the world was today! She gave a frightened little scream. A strong pair of arms had encircled her. She started to cry out again, but the sound was mufiled and blotted out by the pressure of a man’s lips upon her own. She struggled violently, and suddenly was freed. “ If I were a man,” she said, “you should die for that!” “ It was an opportunity not to be ignored," returned Courtlandt. "It is true that I was a fool to run away as I did, but my return has convinced me that I should have been as much a fool had I remained to tag you about, beg ging for an interview. I wrote you letters. You returned them unopened. You have condemned me without a hearing. So be it. You may consider that kiss the farewell appearance so dear to the operatic heart," bitterly. He addressed most of this to the back of her head, for she was already walking toward the villa into which she disappeared with the proud air of some queen of tragedy. She was a capital actress. A heavy hand fell upon Court- landt's shoulder. He was irresistibly drawn right about face. "Now, then. Mr. Courtlandt,” said Harrigan, his eyes blue and cold as ice, "perhaps you will explain?" With rage and despair in his heart, Courtlandt (lung off the hand ¡fhd un- swered: “ I refuse!” “A h!” Harrigan stood ofT a few steps and ran his glance critically up and “ If You Can Stand Up in Front of Me for Ten Minutes You Need Make No Explanations.” down this man of whom he had thought to make a friend. “ You're a husky lad. There's one way out of this for you.” "So long as it does not necessitate any explanations,” indifferently. “ In the bottom of one of Nora’s trunks is a set of my old gloves. There will not be anyone up at the tennis court this time of day. If you are not a mean cuss, If you are not an ordinary low-down imitation of a man, you'll meet me up there inside of five min utes. If you can stand up in front of me for ten minutes, you need not make any explanations. On the other hand, you’ll hike out of here as fast as boats and trains can take you. And never come back.” "I am nearly twenty years younger than you. Mr. Harrigan." "Oh, don’t let that worry you any,” with a truculent laugh. "Very well. You will find me there. After all, you are her father.” “ You bet I am !" Harrigan stole Into his daughter’s room and soundlessly bored into the bottom of the trunk that contained the relics of past glory. As he pulled them forth, a folded oblong strip of parch ment came out with them and flut tered to the floor; but he was too busily engaged to notice it. nor would he have bothered if he had. The bot tom of the trunk was littered with old letters and programs and operatic scores. He wrapped the gloves in a newspaper and got away without be ing seen. He was as happy ae a boy who had discovered an opening in the fence between him and the apple or chard. He was rather astonished to see Courtlandt kneeling in the clover patch, hunting for a four-leaf clover. It was patent that the young man was not troubled with nerves. "H ere!” he cried, brusquely, tossing over a pair of gloves. “ If this method of settling the dispute Isn’t satisfac tory, I'll accept your explanations.” For reply Courtlandt stood up and stripped to his undershirt. He drew on the gloves and laced them with the aid of hla teeth. Then he kneaded them carefully. The two men eyed each other a little more respectfully than they had ever done before "This single court Is about as near as we can make It. The man who steps outside ia whipped.” ” 1 agree,” Bald Courtlandt. "No rounds with rests; until-one or the other la outside. Clean breaks. That's about all. Now, put up your dukes and take a man’s licking. I thought you were your father's son, but I guess you are like the rest of 'em, hunters of women." Courtlandt laughed and stepped to the middle of the court. Harrigan did not waste any time. He sent in a straight Jab to the jaw, but Court landt blocked it neatly and countered with a hard one on Harrigan’s ear, which began to swell. "Fine!" growled Harrigan. "You know something about the game. It won’t be as If I was walloping a baby.” He Bent a left to the body, but the right failed to reach his man. For some time Harrigan Jabbed and swung and uppercut; often he reached his opponent’s body, but never his face. It worried him a little to find that he could not stir Courtlandt more than two or three feet. Courtlandt never followed up any advantage, thus making Harrigan force the fighting, which was rather to his liking. But presently it began to enter Ills mind convincingly that apart from the in itial blow, the younger man waB work ing wholly on the defensive. As if he Were afraid he might hurt him! This served to make the old fellow furious. He bored in right and left, left and right, and Courtlandt gave way, step by step until he w as bo close to the line that he could see it from the cor ner of his eye. This glance, swift as it was, came near to being his undo ing. Harrigan caught him with a ter rible right on the jaw. It was a glanc ing blow, otherwise the fight would have ended then and there. Instantly he lurched forward and clinched be fore the other could add the finishing touch. The two pushed about, Harrigan fiercely striving to break the younger man’s hold. He was beginning to breathe hard besides. A little longer, and his blows would lack the proper steam. Finally Courtlandt broke away of his own accord. His head buzzed a little, but aside from that he had recovered. Harrigan pursued his tac tics and rushed. But this time there was an offensive return. Courtlandt became the aggressor. There was no withstanding him. And Harrigan fairly saw the end; but with that in domitable pluck which had made him famous In the annals ot the ring, he kept banging away. The swift, cruel jabs here und there upon his body began to tell. Oh. for a minute’s rest anu a piece of lemon on his parched tongue! Suddenly Courtlandt rushed him tigerishly, landing a jab which closed Harrigan's right eye. Court landt dropped his hands, and stepped buck. His glance traveled suggest ively to Harrigan's feet. He was out side the "ropes.” "1 beg your pardon. Mr. Harrigan, for losing my temper." "Wljat’s the odds? I lost mine. You w in.” Harrigan was a true sportsman. He had no excuses to offer. He had dug the pit o f humiliation with bis own hands. He recognized this as one o f two facts. The other was, that had Courtlandt extended himself, the battle would have lasted about one minute. It was gall and wormwood, but there you were. "And now, you ask for explanations. Ask your daughter to make them.” Courtlandt pulled off the gloves and got into his clothes. “ You may add, sir, that I shall never trouble her again with my unwelcome attentions. I leave for Milan in the morning.” Courtlandt left the field of victory without further comment. “ Well, what do you think of that?” mueed Harrigan, as he stooped over to gather up the gloves.
