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.
