Chapter ti - ' TROUBLED CONSCIENCES JOH.N MERRYWEATHEft entered with remerkable good tumor Into the conspiracy my mother had designed. He never knew what It was all about. He had an irresist ible Impulse to do whatever my mother Mfced him. The climax of her plot was the black bag a tcuch ot genius, that. Iti triumph was the suggestion that he should go the following morning and look up Laxton at the Lord Kel son and ask to bo rhown over the eseavations at N'ewplace. We Instructed him exactly In his part. We told him i..-t he bad ar rived from Hollam Bay In a taxi on Tuesday night and spent Wednes day, Thursday and Friday with us, in bed with a very bad cold. On Friday night he 'tad been calied to London on business, and 1 had Eeen him off by the 9 40 train. He knew nothing of ihe tragedy of Pell a'td was ignorant ot any onnectlon be tween that and the visitor we de sired to keep secret from Laxton. "Somebody Jumping his claim on the ruins, 1 s'pose," said he. "But I don't want to knot. The less I know the less likely to go wrong." It was Sunday morning. He went down to the village about half-past 10 and found Laxton at the inn Whether he puzzled that astute per son was difficult to say. l?ut he found him entertaining, even went lo a service at Mar'ittg's church with him, and had look at the diggings afterwards. Meanwhile i sat at h me In the garden, weighing Ihe question whether 1 should go to see Veroni ca or leave her alone. I wanted very much to see her, hut 1 feared that seeking her now might seem lack of faith. .My mother came out and sat be side me and looked with me across the estuary to Passage. "I waa just thinking I want to look nil the Seahrol:es," I said, "and 1 dou't." "Why not?"' "Because going misT ' e like ask ing questions." , "Queer heings, men, Tom," said ray inefher. "Do you know, there's nt-thing mere amusing to a woman j thaj a man trying to let ner down lightly ? She'd like to give him a aood awaking. You're very fond of Veronica, aren't yon?" "I think Miss Stroke's " "Oh. Tom! Do 1 !jok like a born idiot? If I didn't know you were head over ears In love with Veroni ca do yc-.i think I'd have But uow, I'm going over to Sandypolnt to see Mrs. Seabroke. Will yon es cort me?" "Mother! You're wonderful." I paused. "You know we're sailing pretty close 10 the wind." "I like excitement; Never worry a hone. Tom. And particularly don't try to tell eio how close to the wind we are. I like Veronica, while you well, , that's quiie enough. I'm goine to get a hat." It was quite true, I supposed. I did not understand how the femi nine mind worked. Perhaps I ip peared to Veronica In the same light. But she h .' said I was an understanding prrson. At Sandypolnt three femlnim minds worked to such purpose that Mrs. Seabrofce and my mother thought a tramp along the cliffs would do Veronica good, and Ve ronica agreed. "Well," said Veronica when we had got going at a good tour mile) an hour, "how's Ihe poor root?" "I've got the bandage off. aDd I don't limp so's you'1 nollce It, do I ?" "Enormous lark, "nsn't it? Thai skipper with his, 'Pardon, madame, voin Bvez' this that and the other thing!" i "Immense," said I. Wo went quiet alter that. For It was not an enormous lark, and Ve lonica knew it and I knew It. We had conceived und done a daring :iad dangerous thing, and Ihe con sequences might b serious. We M'NTKR, Colo.. Sept. 11. With blaring hands und drum corps, the "hoy of '9H'' were in readiness today for the hih spot of the annual convention of the Vnitcd Spanish war veterans, a huge parade of the vetnans thru the streets of Denver. Tor the men In khaki and blue, who played a part in the Spanish American war. the day tu.k on a double, significance, llesides their joy in reassembling again to live over thHr days In the service, tno delegates fS prrstf d tbfir feeling on the ()iiestin of national defense hy celebrating national dfene day at thrir convention. Twenty-five iltrmand veterans stepped it out In silence for a ha! hour, side by side. She walked well, small 03 she was. being liihe and strong. In a little brown frock and bat which made her eyes seem bluer than ever, she came along beside me, a lovely picture of youth and health. "How old are you?" she asked suddenly. "Alas." I said, "I shall never see 28 again. And 1 feel is. I suppose you'd thought of some figure be tween the two?" "I hauu't thought anything about It except that we've been behav ing like two children. Playing about. Why don't you get In a rage, demand explanations? Carry on like anything?" t neighed my answer. It became a question. .' "Do you want me to demand ex planations, Veronica?" "I would give them," said Veroni ca. "But you'd be better pleased if I asked for none.'' She made no reply for some mo ments. Then she timed up her face to mo and said: "It would he more In keeping with your character If you didn't." That settled It. "I'm quite content to go without explanations," taid I. "But I ought to tell you that Professor L3xton " "Is a policeman- in professor's clothing. Oh, yes, Mr. Oreaofen. 1 know it, y Laxton all right. And he'd like to know me." "That's what I'm afraid of, Ve ronica!" I cried.. "I'vi an honest respect for his Intelligence. He ie not delnded by Cousin John. He's busy piecing things together. He's bound to come to our voyage of Fri day night and try to piece that In. And then?" Veronica Imitated her hack-that with the astonished lieutenant.- I had to laugh. "But, Miss Seabroke, you'll Mud Laxton a different proposition," said I. "I wonder,"she answer?'! r-'l!-latlvely. "Well, wliftaver happens you'll remember a ihln you asked me and 1 answered that awfnl night out here. You said: Was It moral ly wrong to do what I wanled? And I said; Wo." " "Of course I've had It In mind all the time." said I. "And whatever happens -It will still be true. And I'm not afraid of your profei-sor. though I'm not a hit anxious to see him. And whatever happens, Tom you'vo been splen did to me. Why do you do It?" I longed ti tell her exactly ; y, but it was not the sort of discus sion to divert In that direction. I said: "Fate threw you at mo off the back of a horse and here we are." We left it at tbHt. We got back to Sandypolnt In gocd time for me to lake my mother home fur lunch Veronica held out her cool, strong iittle hand to me as we parted and said, for me only. "Whatever hap pens, remember!" The prophetic 'He-'lon In that came home to me later on. It was then very necessary lo fortlly myself with the assurance of Ve ronica's loyalty. Tha veritable Cousin John stayed with us till Monday afternoon. He gave an amusing account of his col loquy with Laxton, which seemed lo consist almost enllrely of cross questions and crooked answei. Laxton wanted to know what ha thought of Devonshire and con stantly returned lo that subject, though Cousin John assured him that both&d never been In Devon, shire. Laxton took h!m roiir.d the clois ters und pointed out what a perfect view of the excavations could be had from one of the ruined win dows.
