MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, BEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 8, .1910. FfiiiSn A Chance BY FREDERICK S. ISHAM. lAuthor of "Tbo Strollors" "Uu- udcr tVo Koso." "Iho L.nav 01 tho Mount," Etc I Convrieht. 1009. bv tbo Boobs- xuornii ouiuu-. (WAITER XVI. A CONDITION. , 'ORD RONSDALE seemed almost L to forget caution almost, but not quite. Perhaps bo was de terred by the look on John Steele's face scornful, mooting, as If half Inviting hltn to cast all prudenco to tho winds. This bit of evidence that he had not calculated upon It was hard to give It up, but no other course remained. Besides, another Glllctt knew of Its existence. Lord Ronsdale felt ho could not depend on that per son in an emergency of this kind. The nobleranu moved toward tho desk. Tho paper fluttered from his cold fingers. When once moro John Steele buttoned his coat the affidavit had ngnin found lodgment in his waist coat pocket What John Steele said was for Lord lEonsdnlc alone. After Glllett had Cone lie laid down a condition. "And if I refuse to let you dictate in purely private concern?"' Lord Rons dale, white with passion, had answer ed. "The end will bo the same for you. IAs matters stand Sir Charles no donbt thinks still that you would niako a desirable parti for his niece. His wife, Lady Wray, unquestionably shares that opinion. Their combined Influ ence might in time prevail and Joce lyn "Wray yield to their united wishes. This misfortune." with cutting deadll Bess of tone, "It is obvious must be mverted. You will consent to with draw all pretensions in that direction r you will force me to make public this paper. A full exposition of the case I think would materially affect Sir Charles and Lady Wray'a attitude ma to the desirability of an alliance be tween their family and yours." "And yourself? You forget," with a sneer, "how it would affect yonP "Myself!" John Steele laughed. "Ton Tool! Do you' Imagine I would heel tto for that reason?" You love her yourself, and" John Steele stepped toward him. Stop or 1 have once been almost n the point of killing you tonight. Don't" He broke off. "Tbo condition? "Xou consent or not?" "And If I you would" "Keep your cowardly secret? Yes!" Lord Ronsdale nodded his bead lowly, indicating that he would cease his attentions to Jocelyn Wray. And as bo did so a venomous expression came into his face. A day a month after that night in Lord Ronsdnlo's rooms Captain For Bytbe, calling on John Steele, found himself admitted to the sitting room. The rooms were partly dismantled, a number of boxes littering the place Indicating preparations to move. John fiteele came in. His face was paler than it had been thinner like that of man who bad recently suffered some overo illness. A short time passed. They talked on various topics. Tho military man puffed moro quickly. It seemed the trony of fnto or friendship that now that bo was Just beginning to get bet ter acquainted with Steele tbo latter bould Inconsistently determine to leave London. "Anything I can do for you when 7ou'ro nway?" began Captain For ytlie. "Command mo if there is. Needn't say" "There's only one thing." John Steele looked at bim. His voice was steady, quiet "And we've already spoken about that You will let mo know if Ronsdale doesn't keep to the letter of tho condition?" "Very well." Captain Forsythe's ex pression changed slightly, but the other did not appear to notice. "I shall leavo with you certified cop ies of all tbo papers," Bald Steele in a abort, matter of fact tone. "These, to gether with the one you furnished mo, are absolutely conclusive." "The one I furnished you!" Captain Forsythe rested his chin on tho knob of bis stick. "Odd about that, wasn't It that the dny in the library at Strat born House, when I was about to tell you bow I bad better success tbo sec ond time I visited tho landlady, we should have been interrupted? And," looking at tbo other furtively, "by Jocelyn Wray." Steele did not an swer. "If I bad only seen tho drift of your inquiries, bad detected more than u moro perfunctory interest! With tho confession given mo on her deathbed by tho landlady that sho had testified falsely to protect her good for nothing son and acknowledging that another whom sho did not kuow by name, but whom sho described minutely, had entered tho house ou the fatal night with this confession la your bnndB a world of trouble might hnvo been saved. As it is," ho ended half ruefully, "you bavo found mo most unllko tho proverbial friend in need, who is" "A friend indeed," said John Steele, placing n bund on tho other's shoulder, WllllO II BinilU SIUUJIMYJ1HI WUOIHIMii.il i lighted his fnco for u moment, "who at once roso to tbo occasion, hastened to London on tho receipt or a leiierj that was surely n test of friendship"- i "0)i, I don't Jyiow about tlmtl" quickly. "Test of friendship, indccdP Captain Forsythe looked slightly em barrassed beneath the keen searching eyes. "Don't think of It, or Re sides," brightening, "J bad to come. Telegram from Miss Wray, don't you know." "Miss Wray!" Stoclo'n band fell suddenly to his side. Ho looked with abrupt, swift Inquiry nt tho other. Captain Forsythe bit his lips. "By Jove, forgot!" he murmured. "Was not to say anything about that" "However, as you luivo" John Steele regarded him steadily. "You received n telegram from" "At the same time that your letter intercepted mo nt Brighton." "Asking you to return to London?" "Exactly. She wanted to see me." "About?" John Steele's eyes asked a question. The other nodded. "Of course. Not dltllcult to understand. Her desire to hush up the affair. Her fear," with a short laugh, "lest the scandal become known. A guest at Strathorn House had been" "I don't think It was for" "You found out" shortly, "that she, too, had learned knew" "Yes; she made mo nwaro of that at once when she came to see mo with Sir Charles. It was she sent your lug gngo" "Sir Charles? Then he also" "No. You you need feel no appre hension on that score." A peculiar expression came Into tbo other's glance. "You see, his niece told him It was not her secret; asked him to help her, to trust her. Never was n man more perplexed, but be kept tho word he gave her on leaving for London and forbore to question her. Even when they drove through London In that fog"- "Ycs, yes. I know" "Yon? How" John Steele seemed not to hear. "Sho saw you that night?" "She did. alone in the garden of Rosemary Villa. Sir Charles behaved splendidly. 'All right, my dear. Some day you'll tell me, perhaps.' he said to l.er. 'Meanwhile I'll possess my soul In patience. So while he smoked lu the cab we talked it over." "Well?" John Steele said shortly. "And the upshot of It all wns" "She suggested ray going to Lord onsdalc." 'To Invoke his assistance, perhaps!" Steele once more laughed. - "As an old friend!" Captain Forsythe started to speak. The other went on. "Well, we'll keep his secret as long as he keeps his compact." "But" "I promised. What does it matter? Sir Charles may be disappointed at not being able to bring about Rut far her sake that Is the main considera tion." "And you. the question of your lnno cenceto her?" Forsythe looked at him narrowly, smiled slightly to him self. "Is inconsequential! Th main pnlni is the Frisco Pet is dead i.lllrtt won't speak You won't Lord Rous' dale can't Another to tvlmiu I utu about to tell the story will. 1 am dure, be equally silent" "Another?" John Steele smiled. "Can you think of no one to whom I am bouud to tell the truth, the whole truth? Who e.s tended me IiLs baud In friendship. In vited me to hi home? Of couree It would he easier to go without speak ing. It Is rather dltllcult to own that one has accepted a man's hospitality, stepped beneath his roof and sat nt his board as not to mince words an Im postor. I could have delegated you to tell bim all, but that wouldn't do. It Is probably a part of tho old, old debt but I must meet him face to face. So I bavo sent for" A bell rang. A servant opened the door of tho library. Sir Charles Wray walked In. (To Be Continued.) SCHOOL DISTRICT BOND ELEC " TION NOTICE.
