CHAPTER III.
It was close njam 11 when at length
he quitted the house. The mood of the
night had changed. A light drizzle filled
the air. A red vapor rolled across the
sky, broken in places and giving glimpses
of deeper lnnrkiness lieyond. Fog horns
bellowed from the river. Freight trains
like dingy serpents crawled past the
western boundary of th« college campus
and went hissing into the fog. Hejauised
irresolute for n moment after the gate
clanged liehind him, then crossed the
street and entered the college grounds.
An unquiet spirit possessed him as he
strode along the familiar ¡«ths. He was
ouly a trespasser in this place where
hitherto he had roamed at will, but
whether he was seen or not was of little
consequence. He had escaped from lus
qniet room into the wet, massy darkness
to question himself. The vapor that
garbed every tree in ghostly robes, the
light sweep of the wind passing his ear
like a woman s sigh, the peace liere and
the reminders of life on the river and
market places lieyond were nil old and
dear to him. They had helped him be
fore.
It was not of his rejected play he was
thinking. Somehow the keenness of the
sting left by failure had subsided. Iu
fancy lie saw a woman's face—Virginia's
face. It seeimsl to float ls-fore him,
sometimes the eyes hidden as with a
veil, sometimes the sweet, proud month.
He was tilled with this new feeling
that in the twinkling of an eye had
rushed over him. Was it love? Love!
Oh, the ecstasy ringing in the soft vow
els as lie murmured them in a tender
semitone!
Hitherto he had written of love, had
believed that he understood it. But to
night in every fiber he felt the illimita
ble, untranslatable difference. He had
been like a blind inun dwelling on the
beauty of the light be had never seen—a
stay at home describing the marvels of
lands never journeyed through. His
heart had been sleeping while in his
writings lie had prated of passion.
But this sweeping forgetfulness of self
even in a bitterly critical moment; this
reaching out to and flooding immersion
in the personality of another; this mad
ness that shook him, trailing its seduc
tive sweetness over his sonl and making
him light headed; this insistent burning
in his blood; this yearning newly born—
this was love.
He flung himself into a restful position
against a tr-e and looked over at the win
dows where at times Virginia's shadow
touched the shade, liis face had grown
haggard; his eves were alight. Oh. he
loved her! It seemed now he had always
loved her.
“To tell her—oh, to tell her!” was his
nnuttered cry. “Oh, if I had something
to offer worth her taking—not my beg-
gar's portion. not 11 le ashes of my dreams,
Virginia—dear, tender, sweet voiced,
strong hearted Virginia, I am not fit U
love you,”
And now a state of feeling lieyond ex
pression or definition as-ailed him and
held him as in a coil. It was strange,
subile. exqniifltely sad. The mist and
rain were part of it, the blustery dark
ness, the troubled breath in the trees, the
longing and indecision in his soul, the
ache of passion, the ambition so limitless
and unavailing, the dull acquiescence of
the conquered.
How merciless destiny seemed in that
moment! How empty the world! The
race so long, so tiring, ending—even at
the best—in what?
He was stirred to an ecstatic sadness.
Something vital quickened in his coa-
sciousness.
The serenity of his fair, untempted
years sank from sight, and he seemed to
look down an illuminated ddpth into the
very heart of life. Love and death were
there; agony and sin; joy, derision, temp
tation, despair; the curse of the suicide,
the laughter of young girls, the sorrow
that cries in the night. It was all so ter
ribly clear. It racked him, inundated
him, knitted itself to him.
One after another faces arose, young
and old; hands seemed outstretched. He
heard words that contained the glory and
tire of diamonds, so real they were, so
trenchant. Oh, if lie conld but write
them as they thronged into his mind—if
be could tell the wonderful story that
unfolded itself ls-fore him like a scroll
upon the darkness—might not some stand
and listen?
Heshivered and looked around, emerg
ing from his waking dream as from a
trance, and almost startled to find him
self alone.
What was this marvelous change? He
seemed on the threshold of a secret, the
door open to his hand. lie was as one
born again under new conditions, with
keener faculties for reasoning and feel
ing. A fire had touched him—a fire of
love. It lightened the dark places of his
nature, melted the crust that held the
currents of knowledge imprisoned, and
he felt stimulated to walk victorious
where before he had stumbled.
He thought of . he play that hut »short
while since had been so dear » thing to
him. Crude, false and sterile it seemed
now.
And yet to venture egain—dare he doit?
Even while he questioned he knew lie
must. Hix fingers tingled tograspapen.
The delight of the artist, the creator,
quivered through him. It was tempered
by a sickening edge of dread, but still it
was delight.
In a little while lie was again in his
own room tearing the leaves of tlie re
jected play to pieces. He flung them into
thegrateand tonched them with a match.
"Virginia was right." he said, his voice
broken, as if he had run a long way. and
indeed his inner self had journeyed to
far, undreamed of heights that night.
"Yon are false. Notaword of you shall

as she »poke—look»’ until *icr eyes fell
under the tire in bis.
“It happened this way,” and Mr. Kent
ambled drowsily on, ignorant that the
splendor of youth and love was eddying
in warm glances around his frosty head.
“I had just cashed my check and was
walking up Broadway. As I came near
Bond street I chanced to look up and saw
an auctioneer’s flag over» dim shop in a
basement. I went down. The place was
packed, the bidding was brisk. Pieces of
quaint pottery went for a song, old min
iatures. shawls and rugs. I went nearer.
Ah, how I longed for money, money,
money!"
He paused, and Virginia gave an un
easy glance at the package.
DOWN TO DEATH.

It is three o'clock in the afternoon as '
the race is finished—a race which be
gan six hour» ago, nearly fifty uillox
away. Over the barren plain, over
the ridges which remind you of waves,
across th« narrow valleys and dry ra
vines, the scout has ¡kept the lead to
the dozen Indians who have pur mail
him. For the first ten miles it wax a
hot race. Then the scout and warrior
drew rein to husband the strength of
his horse. They had bins cut off' from
the fort; be was heading for some spot
where he might get cover.
Here is th« haven—here at the foot
of Bald Mountain. The great hill was
in sight this morning when the yells of
the Indians first rang in his ears. He
has lifted up bis eyes every five min
utes during the long race to scan its
crest of dark pines, and w ish he were
hiding uniting them. Ott'your reeking
and pauting horse—turn him loose—
and dash into the bushes which grow
among the black rocks and make your
way upward. You am only five miu-
utes ahead of the first warrior, and he
turns and cheers the others on.
From the plain to the mountain—
from the saddle to the cover of rock
and bush. There is more hope now.
At noon the chances were as nine to
one; now they even up. The scout is
no novice. The Indians know him for
it veteran and a cool hand. He made
uo mistake in his riding—he did just
the right thing in heading for Bald
Mountain. He will take cover up there
nnreng the rocks, and then let them
look out.
The ludains come up and throw
themselves from the saddle and start
up tli« mountain side at different
points. Their aim is to get on the
right and left above anil below him.
He cannot fiud cover against their bul
lets when they have him thus sur
rounded. It is a still hunt now—uo
war hoops, no shouts, not the sound of
human voice among the pines. It is a
quarter of an hour before the report of
a revolver is heard, and It is yet rever-
Is-ratlng among th.i rocks, when there
is a yell from every Indian. The scout
had his Winchester in his band when
lie started up the mountain. He has
lost it as he leaped same of the yawn
ing fissures in his path, or he has
struck it against a rock and the mech
anism will not respond to bis touch.
A revolver, a score of cartridges, a ref
uge behind a rock. The scale tips the
other way again. If he lets them get
above him he is lost. He realizes this
and advances. Up, up, over great
ledges of rocks, between huge boulders,
through undergrowth so dense that he
has to drop down on hands and knees.
With a little more start 11« could bear
off'to the right or left and flank them.
If his rifle was all right he would take
shelter here rmoBg these detached
masses and hope to stand them oft'.
What’s this? His further progress is
suddenly barred by a chasm, so wide
that a deer would not attempt to lump
it, and so dark that a shudder passes
over him as he glances down. His halt
Is a brief one. He follows the chasm
to the east, but at the end of a hundred
yards he stops again. Another chasm
comes in at right angles and joins the
first, as two rivers come together. The
same convulsion of nature that heaved
up these mountains wrought those deep
dark Assures from top to bottom, The
scout has rushed into a V-shaped pen.
Retreat is his only hope, but he has
not taken ten steps when the yells of
the Indians prove that he is cut off'.
There at£ but few trees growing in
this triangle, and the half dozen boul
ders will shelter the advance of the In
dians. They yell and shout and show
theinselves, but do not fire. They have
the scout in a trap and hope to take
him alive. He stands intheopenand
raising his revolver fires every charge
in it, but his aim is uusteady and the
distance is great. With the last shot
he hurls the weajion away and walks
to ¡the point of the “V.” There is a
rush to get nearer, but not a gun is dis
charged. There is no escape for the
scout. By this hour tomorrow they
will have him a captive on the banks of
the White river.
The scout turns and notes them
springing from rock to rock and from
tree to tree as they close in around him.
Captivity means insult, blows, death at
the stake. The chasm means only
death, and that will come quickly.
The bronze on bis face fades away and
lie catches his breath like one in pain,
hut the weakness passes away in ten
second and his eyes flash and his An
gel's clench. The Indians are not a
hundred feet away when he hurls a
shout of defiance at them and turns
and disappears. They rush forward
with shouts of surprise and horror, but
no sound comes up from the yawning
gulf liefore them. They bend forward
and try to pierce the darkness with
their keen eyes, but th« black shadows

sound come up out of the awful depths.
Here are the victorious warriors, down

lie murmured, his Ups scarcely moving.
A unstained buret of deep toned sound
from ths organ floated to him through
the closed doors. It thrilled him to the
heart. He seemed to hear Virginia's
stanch words in their delicate intona
tions:
"I lielieve in yon, Tom.”
Louder the music rolled, higher, sint
er, one keen minor note transc ending the
heavier volume and crowning it like a
star. The man's longing eyes brightened
as he listened. The festival of harmony
augmented his strength. His love rushed
out to meet it like flood meeting flood.
Virginia seemed playing a piean of sanc
tified victory fit for a crusader who holds
his standard aloft, though a rankling
wound pales his lips.

Why Flowers Sleep at Night.
Why should flowers sleep? asks Sir
John Lnbboxflr Fi “The Beauties of Na
ture and the Wonders of the World We
Live In." Why should somOflowers do so
and not others? Moreover, different flow
ers keep different hours. The daisy opens
at gnnriae and closes at sunset, whence
its name “day’s eye.” The dandelion
(leontodon) is said to open about 7 and
close aliout 5; Arenaria rubra to be open
from 9 to 3; the white water lily (nym-
phcea) from about 7 to 4; the common
mouse ear hawk weed (hieracinm) from
8 to 3; the scarlet pimpernel (anagallis)
to waken at 7 and close soon after 2;
Tragopogon pratensis to open at 4 in the
morning and close just liefore 12, whence
its English name, “John go to bed at
noon." Farmers’ boys in some parts are j
said to regulate tlieir dinner time by it. !
Other flower, on the contrary, open iu the '
evening.
Now, it is obvious that flowers which
are fertilized by night flying insects
wonlil derive no advantage from being
open by day, and. on the other hand, that
those which are fertilized by bees would
gain nothing by lieing open at night.
Nay, it would be a distinct disadvantage,
because it would render them liable to be
robbed of their honey and pollen by in
sects which are not capable of fertilizing
them. I have ventured to suggest then
that the closing of the flowers may have
reference to the habits of the insects,
and it maj be observed also in support
of this that w ind fertilized flowers do
not sleep, and that many of those flowers
which attract insects by smell open and
emit their »cent at • particular hours.
Thus Hesperus matronalis and Lychnis
vespertina smell in the evening, and Or
chis pifolia is particularly sweet at night.

Tlie Value of Old Books.
A young man writes from St. Joseph,
Mo., to a dealer in this city that he is
offering for sale, through stress of hard
times, a very rare book, presumably
“the oldest book in America.” The vol
ume is printed in Dutch, is in perfect
condition »nd was published more than
300 years ago. The present owner, whoee
letter proclaims his illiteracy, believes
that he has n veritable treasure. He
will lie terribly shocked when he discov
ers that his treasure is worih in the mar
ket not more than $5.
Age alone gives value to but very few
books. Yet the average person has an
idea that if a book was printed long ago
it must necessarily be valuable, and.
what is curious, different people differ
as to the dates that make a book old.
There are those who fancy that a volume
printed 100 years ago must be esteemed
very old and very rare and very valu
able. Others show you with pride a
Hudibras printed—we will say—in 1750.
or a Bible printed 200 years ago, and
these volumes are cherished because of
their antiquity.
A very worthy lady living in Massa
chusetts recently exhibited with an elab
orate flourish a volume of sermons bear
ing the date of 1785—a volume she rev
ered, loved and treasured because of its
age. A few moments later she gave up
to the writer without any hesitancy a
charming little 1827 reprint of the New
I
England primer.—Chicago Record.
