By JAMES KNAPP REEVE, ÍCopyrlght, 1S9Î, by American Pres, Associ* tlon.) CHAPTER I. I Jj VF w 1 ï « He opened it anil read. Ogden Chalmers had just reached New Orleans and procured the first mail that he had received for six months. It was a characteristic of his—a whim, it might have been called in another man—to lie bothered as little as possible by letters, papers or telegrams when traveling. It was also characteristic that he often put himself wholly beyond the reach of wire or post—perhaps to make doubly snre against such interruption.' He had been in Mexico this time, over on the west coast, as far from civiliza tion as he could get, and one may get very far from it indeed there, as every one knows who has had the courage to leave the beaten routes of travel. For, although a finished cosmopolite, Chalmers could adapt himself to the manners of any people who lived close to the ways of nature, and hence was as much at home among the ignorant peons of Oajaca or Chiapas as upon the pave ments and amid the more polished civil ization of New York or San Francisco. There was no apparent reason why Ogden Chalmers—man of fortune and of leisure—should not wander as he pleased or hide himself from the world where and when he chose. He was al most wholly without ties—with the sin gle exception of a half brother somewhat younger than himself wholly without— and his money safely invested, rather so as to avoid care in its management than with a view toward securing the largest possible income, he was of course free to go and come as he would. He had now come direct to New Or leans via steamer from Vera Cruz, and all the way across the gulf had been wondering why he was coming hither, and which way it would be best to turn next. It really mattered very little, but he supposed he must come to a decision of some sort in the latter respect. It was winter, and so he did not care to go farther north. California was an old story. Iu Cuba the hotels were bad; he could find more comfort in an Indian tepee than there. Then, again, he won dered why he had come this way at all; he might better have joined those news paper men he had met at San Benito— Bohemians, but most thoroughly good fellows—and gone with them down to see the revolution iu Guatemala. Yet, after all. something was to be said in favor of New Orleans in midwinter; it certainly was not the worst of places at that season; perhaps lie might as well make up his mind to stay awhile and see what would turn up. Having come to which conclusion Chalmers placed his name npon the register of the St. Charles, and went into breakfast, tak ing with him his six months' accumula tion of mail. There was not much of it, and he noticed the fact whimsically, as indicating how slight were the ties be tween himself and the world. There were but two letters and a single paper. One of the letters was from his brother, and bore various postmarks, showing how it had followed him about. He opened it and read: D iab Oonrs—I uni iu a devil of a flxatiout money. Will you help me out? It yon will, come home at once, as I shall need a big lot. 1 can hold things off for a mouth, but if you can't help me by that time I must go under. Your affectionate brother, GKO11C.E C halmeus . The letter was dated September first. It was now the fifteenth of January. Chalmers was so deeply engrossed by the contents of this one that he opened the second letter mechanically, without observing that the address was written in a woman's hand. Mechanically, too, his eye ran over its brief lines, until their import flashed suddenly upon his brain. This letter read: D zaii M r . C halmers Your brother has bean arrested tor emls'zzlemcnt. The bank claims to have lost more than a hundred thou sand dollars. I write you because George will not, and 1 think you ought to know, lie says you will not help him. Must 1 believe it? Yours sincerely. L ira T ennant . This letter was dated October first, just a month after his brother's letter was written—just the month, lie no ticed, that George had said he could “hold things off.” The paper still lay unopened beside his plate, but Chalmers was so absorbed in the contents of these two letters and in the effort to grasp the full meaning of their message that he gave the for mer no attention until he came to real ize, through some intuitive process, tliat its superscription was by the same hand that had penned the letter signed “Lina Tennant.” Then he tore the wrapper off impatiently, duly wondering the while what new word of evil he should find therein. Almost at once a marked paragraph stood ont, as though it were printed in capitals. It read: I “George Chalmers, the embezzling cashier of the ----- National bank, was yesterday adjudged guilty on each count 1 of the indictment and sentenced to ten years of hard labor in the state peniten I tiary at Columbus." The paper was a Cleveland paper oi January first. The tragedy was com plete in three acts. Chalmers went on with his breakfast, as he would under almost any circum stances whatever have gone on with any thing in which he happened to be en gaged. But this action was mechanical, as after the first daze had passed away he began to think clearly and rapidly about the matter in hand. By the time he had finished his coffee anil dropped a fee in the palm of the attentive waiter he had every detail of action systemat ically arranged. “Yon may cancel my room,” he said to the man at the desk as he returned to the hotel office. “I shall go on north by the first train. How soon can I leave?” “There will be nothing now until night, sir. The first train is out at nine fifteen. Sorry you are going to leave us so soon,” went on the clerk affably. “Good time to see New Orleans, sir; French opera tonight and plenty of quadroon balls going, if you care for that sort of thing.” Chalmers stared hard at the man and waited until he had finished. Then he said quietly: “See that my luggage is sent down in time for that train and have it checked for Cleveland, and get me a Pullman section through as far as you can. Now please give me some telegraph blanks.” He penned two telegrams. One was to Lina Tennant and was as follows: “I have just heard; shall leave for Cleveland tonight.” Tlie other was to Winston. Lanu j- anil Company, Broad street. New York. It said: “Turn everything you can into cash and have subject to sight draft within three days. Shall want at least one hundred thousand.” When he hail sent these it was not quite eleven o’clock. Ten hours of en forced idleness, of absolute inactivity, were before liim just at the time when it was more important than it liad ever yet lieen in Ills whole life that he should be doing something. He had not planned for this, and so chafed under the delay and Bought for some means by which the time might be employed. Once lie thought he would write to George; then lie de cided to wait and see Lina Tennant and the bank people and learn tlio whole story. He would make sure of what he could do liefore writing to George or going to Columbus. That he could do something with the means at his com mand he never doubted for a moment. As to what that something would be, wliat form it would take, liis ideas as yet were indefinite. That would depend upon what he learned at Cleveland. The long day dragged itself on anil came to a close at last. It was raining when it was time for him to go to the train, and all through the night he could hear the storm beating in gusts against the windows of his berth. All the next day, as the train speeded on northward through tlie boundless pine forests of Alabama, the rain kept pouring steadily down and adding dreariness to every dreary hour. It would have lieen enough had his errand and liis thoughts lieen of the pleasantest. But as it was, with his mind fixed so steadily npon the one wretched fact before liim, the monotony was almost unbearable. At Cincinnati, as lie changed cars the next morning, the rain hail given place to snow, anil as lie still went on north ward through Ohio tlie white blanket grew deeper and deeper over the land. The monotony of it was awful; like a shroud spreading itself out over the earth anil, thought Chalmers, winding ever closer and closer about himself. Would it wind him so close in its folds that he could do nothing in this matter upon which he had come up into this inhospitable wintry land? Toward noon the snow had grown so deep that it be gan to impede the progress of the train; frequently it stopped, while the engine was driven ahead to clear the track. A snowplow was put on and it threw up great solid walls of snow, like quarried marble, on either side the line. It seemed as if the snow would never stop coming and as though they must be swallowed np iu tlie white desolation. A passenger in the seat opposite Chal mers asked the conductor if they should be able to get through. “I don't know yet. The road is re ported blocked a little way aliove here. They may get it open by the time we reach there. If not, the through passen gers had better go around by Columbus.” Chalmers listened nervously. He knew that route. The track wound along close beneath the great gray walls of the prison. George was there; he could not go that way. It would lie easier to lose a little time, even after hurrying for a thousand miles as fast as steam could bring him. At Springfield it was yet doubtful whether they should be able to get through, anil some of the passengers changed there and went around by the Columbus branch. This would strike the mail', line again farther np, and would piobably save some delay. But Chalmers remained in his coach and the train kept on its way—slow and uncer tain, but gradually making toward Cleveland. He took out his time card after awhile and made some careful cal culations. The snow was reported not so bad farther north; they should get through, but would not reach Cleveland until long after dark. Chalmers felt that he could not endure another night of suspense anil uncertainty, and at the next station lie sent another telegram to Lina Tennant. This one read: “Shall be in tonight, but train will be very late. Wait.” After this he settled down with what patience he coulil, himself to “ wait” also, and let the day and the train take their own course to the end. CHAPTER II. It was after ten o'clock when the train finally rolled into the Union sta tion. Iu two minutes Chalmers was in a cab and had given his order to the driver: “Number----- Prospect street.” Out iu the bracing air of the northern winter night he began to feel like him self again. The blowing of the keen wind in his face served to disperse tho cloud of doubts and fears that had so tormented him throughout the long and tedious journey. He was again a man of action, and would beat down the bar riers that stood lietween his brother and this free air. He began to take some note of his surroundings, and became conscious of the smooth motion of his cab, and saw that it was on runners in stead of wheels; and all about him in the broad, well lighted streets other sleighs were speeding about, and the liells upon the harness were jingling merrily, and there were sounds of laugh ter and carnival. As he passed through the square the theaters were just out and the electric lights up in the tall tower shone down on a brilliant scene of fair women and gallant men. How George did love to be amid such bounding life and a part of it, and how well he had always borne himself in it. And then the contrast and the wretchedness of the errand that brought him here this night swept over him as it had not done before—came back upon liim again with renewed and appalling force as lie stopped at Lina Tennant’s door. He had not paused to think of himself until now. Self had been repressed and every thought and energy of the man bent solely to the one purpose of getting as speedily as he could to those who needed him. That Lina needed him no less than George did was a thing of which he felt assured instinctively, without any elaborate process of reason ing. Her faith in George had been so complete, her pride in him so great, and slie would feel this disgrace so keenly, but would hide it all within her own breast. She would neither ask nor per mit sympathy from any. Perhaps she would repel him—deny that she needed him. And then Chalmers remembered an other time, another night—years ago it seemed now, though he was still young, as men go—when she had repelled him as perhaps she would again this night. Then* she had hushed the words that burned upon his lips for utterance—had hushed him with a quick, impetuous wave of the hand as if he had been nothing and his passion nothing—and as if the passion of her had been every thing—the universe, infinity, eternity— and that before its flood all else must give way without question, She was not ashamed of it; she used no subter- fuge; she gloried in it. “Yes. II’ hy not’ lie is to be my hus band.” “I love your brother!" she had said. It was as if she had said: “See, I have all the world—all that it contains is mine. All that is beautiful or precious or to be desired by the heart of a woman is mine. What can you offer me more? What cau you give mo in exchange if I sacrifice all this?” What could he, indeed? A few years less of youth; a somewhat better for tune; a wider knowledge of the world. But this latter had its drawbacks; while he could offer her a very honest and manly love, he could not offer her the boyish adoration that goes with fewer years and narrower experience. I do not say that this was the reason why he could not win her; he might not have won her in any case, even had there been no one else. But there was an other, younger, more ardent, perhaps better fitted to mate with her young life. And so when she had stopped him with that gesture, and said, “I love your brother,” he hail not argued his cause further. Whatever the prize was, however much lie might otherwise have striven for it, lie would not strive against him. And as for her—she was but a woman, and with such a woman the passion and abandon of love outweighs all else. One might protest as well against the sweep ing power of fire or flood as to try and stay its course. Such love gives much, and gives freely and glories in the giv ing, and it demands much in return; it will share with no other. And such love will forgive much, but there are some things it will never forgive. Chalmers had not expected any out break. He knew that her pride would force and sustain a calm and confident exterior, and he felt that to him less than to any other would she willingly lay bare any of the torturings of liet heart in this trial. Yet he had hardly looked to meet at once the glint of femi nine armor. Perhaps he would have been better prepared had he known more of women. How they steel themselves sometimes against those who would help them most—whose help in tlieir very hearts they most desire. The room into which Chalmers was ushered, and where he waited for her only a brief moment, bore evident traces of individuality. Somehow yon could have told that it was a woman’s room, though there was nothing of mere pret tiness about it, no knickknacks, no hodgepodge of bric-a-brac and home art with which women of nonindividuality clutter their surroundings. There were many books, a few good engravings upon the wall, a small bronze of a flying Mer cury, and these were disposed as if they were severally read and studied and look ed at—not as mere decorative pirapher- nalia—but as a part of the everyday life of the inmate. Into such a room, thought Chalmers (and to such a woman, too, perhaps), a man could come and lie at liis best; here a man (and this mythical woman) could meet npon a common level, talking, thinking, bringing out the liest that was iu each other, forgetting or unheeding that lesser and baser life that must per force lie lived out in the world and among men. Into such a room (and to such a wom an, too, perl aps) lie had once thought it might lie possible for liim to come; but that time had gone now. He must only think of these things impersonally. To this point in his reverie had Chal mers come when Miss Tennant entered the room. “You have come at last,’’ she said, in an even monotone, as she gave him her hand. Chalmers was not prepared for the coldness or restraint of her greeting. Yet with a charity that not many who knew liim would have thought liim capable of he did not resent it. “You blame me for not coming soon er,” he answered; “but I did not know. Your letter and his and the paper that you sent all came to me at the same time. Since then I have come as fast as steam could bring me. I have been in Mexico.” Thus much he felt lie must say in his own defense, but it availed him nothing. “You should not have gone away so,” she said. “You are older than your brother; you have some duties.” “You do well to reproach me,” he said moodily. “I went away for you and for him," “You should not have gone,” she said again insistently, “at least not so far— not in this way. There was no reason why you should go at all; and he had only you to look to.” Doubtless she liad been sorely hurt. Women do not stand well the breaking of their idols. And to cover her hurt, womanlike, she turned upon liim who had been in nowise to blame. Chalmers thought to himself that it was strange that he should not resent this. He had always been a man who was impatient of criticism. Perhaps if he had been in any way to blame in this matter, if there had been any self accu sation to contend against, he might have resented her words. She was calm and pale and cold. But looking at her more closely he could see that she kept her self under control only by the most de termined effort. He would not make it any harder for her. “Yes, I have bee» to blame,” he said' “Just as soon as I have learned any Farm for Sale finally. “I should not have gone.
