CHAPTER XXI.
Mil. BILL WILLIAMS arrived
in New York on Saturday
morning. Liu had forethought
enough to make the attempt
and Influence enough to aureeed In it
to huve the limited stopped at One
Hundred and Tweuty-flftb street, where
be took a fast auto cab. for which he
had telegraphed, and waa rushed di
rectly to St. Luke'a hospital on Ca
thedral heights. He paid the charge
expressing bla Ann conviction that the
price waa half the value of the ma
chine and aeven tlmea the value of the
thief who drove it and hurried into
the hoHpltal, where he gave hia name
and begged to be taken to bla afflicted
eon at once.
He waa Informed by the bouae aur
geon that the patient waa doing fairly
well, though bla temperature waa atlll
above normal. The physician thought,
however, that the father's presence
might rouse the patient's flagging spir
its, but suggested that the first Inter
view be abort A trim, fresh checked
nurse waa summoned, and without fur
ther ado she led the way to the eleva
tor, which took them to the fourth
floor. At the door of bis son's room
the old rancher paused.
"My dear." be said, "are you the
young lady who has nursed my poor
boy through this spell of sickness?"
"Yes, sir," answered the brisk young
person In a tone somewhat more cheer
ful than the gravity of the occasion
seemed to warrant
"God bless you!" the anxious father
murmured in a voice choked by bis
emotion. "Did he ask for mo of
ten r
The experienced young person hesi
tated, banging for an instant between
uncompromising truth and the wish
to apare tbla kind old gentleman un
necessary pain. Womanlike, she de
cided upon charity rattier than verac
ity. "Oh, yes," she answered nervously,
"though you know, of course, he he
has been Just well, a little delirious, I
fear. You must be careful not to excite
him, to control your feelings, Ir."
The Texao'a great heart was touch
ed. Ills boy had been snouting out bis
name, even wbile pain and fever held
him In their raging grip. The father,
who could bave faced a battery of ar
tillery in action without blanchlug,
waa greatly overcome by what be read
In the nurse's halting words. He lean
ed for support against the wall and
furtively brushed his eyes, then look
ed up, striving to smile, and asked:
"Waa be conscious when my tele
gram arrived? Did be know? Waa be
glad to hear that I was coming?"
"Very," answered the adroit young
womau, blushing to the roots of her
chestnut hair, that peeped from under
a saucy little cap. 8 be bad made the
first plunge and bad no hesitation In
going the limit.
The father's heart went out at once
to this dainty angel of mercy and elD
eleney who had ministered to grief
and suffering He fumbled In his ock
et and produced a large, double figured
note, which he pressed Into her haud.
"For you, my dear," be atnlled. "n
ribbon or something. There, there; it's
nothing."
"Hut, Mr. Williams." she protested
In chiiniilug confusion, "this is not ut
ii necessary. I am paid, you know,
by -really. I couldn't think of"
"Honey," he Interrupted, while be
gave her plump shoulder n fatherly
put. "It's Just a little secret between
you and me. Now run along I want
to see Pickle alono."
Again the nurse hesitated and. like
her prototype In the proverb, was lost.
It was U'st to lv present at the Inter
lew, jet bow could she refuse so sim
ple n request from this moist eyed,
generous old dear?
"Very well," she nodded; "I will
stand outside You promise to be very
quiet ?"

which the two tears aforementioned
trickled unheeded. He was too be
wildered fully to realize his ridiculous
position all at once. That he had
traveled over 2.000 weary miles for
the dubious pleasure of kneeling by
the bedside of this glass eyed lunatic
was a thought which at first refused
to percolate through his stunned cere
brum. He returned the stare and an
swered, with a series of hoarse, Inar
ticulate gasps:
"Wha youl My son you eh? Who
who the devil are you?"
The earl drew the sheet about bis
neck, closed bis eyes and turned on
his pillow languidly.

"You're u llnr!" burst out the old
man angrily, rising to his feet.
The Earl of Cray land pulled the bell
above the bead of his bed and waited
In unruffled calm till the nurse ap
peared. He opened his eyes and point
ed to bis visitor.
"Ef show this odious person out
I wish to er sleep."
The girl stepped forward, laid a gen

"Thore, there, Mr. Williams! Don't
