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. Laxton wa xliaordinarlly
carious about his illness, his Jour
ney lo London, his address In W v
