CHAPTER XVII.
NHW 1NTKENCIIMKXTS.
But this way of breaking Into the
house every lilxlit did not afford me tho
facility I wished. For I wanted to see
I.ady Alice during the day, or at least
in tile evening before she weut to sleep;
:ls otherwise I could uot thoroughly
jud^e of her condition. So I got Wood
to pack up a small stock of provision*
tor me In his haversack. which 1 took
with me; and when I entered the house
that night. 1 bolted the door of the
court behind me. and made all fi *t.
1 waited till the usual time for h- :
nppearanee bad passed; and, always
apprehensive now. as was very natural.
I had begun to grow uneasy, when I
heard a voice, as I had heard it on v
before, singing. l'earful of disturbing
her, I listened for a moment. Whether
the song was her own or not 1 cannot
bo certain. When 1 questioned her
afterward, she knew nothing about It.
^Deceased singing. Still she did not
filter. I went into the closet and found
that the door was bolted. W hen l
opened It she entered, as usual; and,
when she came to herself, seemed still
better than before.
"Duncan," she said, "1 don't know-
how It is. but I believe I must have
forgotten everything I ever knew. I
feel as if I had. I don't think 1 can
even redd. Will you tench 1110 my let-
ters?"
She had a book in her hand. 1 hail
ed this as another sign that her waking
and sleeping thoughts bordered on <
other; for she must have taken
book during her somnambulic condi-
tion. 1 did as she desired. She set
ed to know nothing till I told her. Hut
the moment I told her anything, sin
knew it perfectly. Before she left me
that night she was reading tolerablv.
with many pauses of laughter that slv
should ever have forgotten how. The
moment she shared the light of my
mind, all was plain: where that had
not shone, all was dark. The fact w
she was living still In the shadow
that shock which her nervous system
had received from our discovery and
my ejection.
As she was leaving me I said
"Shall you be III the haunted room
ni sunset to-morrow. Alice?'
"Of course I shall," she answered.
"You will find me there then." 1 re
Joined; "th:r is. if you think there 1
no danger of b -lug seen."
"Not tho hast." she answered. "N
one follows in.' there; not even Mr-
Hlnkcsley, g" d soul! They are al
afraid, as usual."
"And won't be frightened to se
njc there'/"
"Frightened? No. Why? Oh! You
think me queer, too, do you?"
She looked very vexed, but tried 1
smile.
"I? I would trust you with m,
life," I said. "That's not much, though
—with iny soul, whatever that means.
Alice."
"Then don't talk nonsense." she
Jolued. coaxingly. "about my being
frightened to see you."
When she had gone. I followed
to the old hall, taking my sack witli
me; for. after having found the door
in the closet bolted. I was determine
not to spend one night more iu my ol
quarters, and never to allow Lad
Alice to go there again. If 1 could pr<
vent her. And I had good hopes, that
If we met In the day, the same cons
qucncc* would follow as had follow*
long ago, uamcly, that she would sleep
at night.
My object was to choose one of tti
deserted rooms In which I might es-
tablish myself without chances of
discovery. I had not turned many
corners, or gone through many passa-
ges, before I found one exactly to my
mind. 1 will not trouble my reader
with a description of its odd posi-
tion and shape. All I wanted was eon
etnlmcnt, and that it provided plenti-
fully. 1 lay down on the tloor, and was
soon fast asleep.
Next morning, having breakfasted
froui tho contents of my bag. 1 proceed-
ed to make myself thoroughly
qiiaititcd with the bearings, etc.. of this
portion of the house. Before evening,
1 knew it all thoroughly.
But I found It very difficult to wait
for tho evening. By the windows .1
one of the rooms looking westward. I
sat watching the down-going of th
sun. When he set. my moon would
rise. As he touched the horizon I went
the old, well-known way to th- haun
etl chamber.
One moment longer and a light hand
was laid on the door. It opened gently.
slid Alice, entering, ti...etl across th •
room straight to my arms. How beau-
tiful she was; her old fashioned dre«s
bringing her Into harmony wltli the
room and its old consecrated twdlglu!
For this room looked eastward, and
there was only twilight there. She
brought in • some water, at my request;
nnd then we read, and laughed over
our reading. ICvery moment she no*
only know something fresh, but knew
that she had known It before. 1 he
dust of the years had to be swept away
but It was only dust, and Hew at a
breath. The light soon failed lis in
the dusky chamber; ami we sat and
whispered, till only when we kissed
could we we each other's eyes. \t
length I.ady Alice said
"They are looking for me; 1 had bet-
ter go. Shall I come at night?"
"No," 1 answered. "8leep. nnd do
uot move."
"Very well. I will."
She went, aud I returned to m.v den.
There 1 lay and thought. Had sli •
ever lieen Insane at all? I doubted It.
A kind of mental sleep «• stiqwir had
come upon her—notlilujf more.
Next evening we m< \ again, and th"
n< |t, 11111 many eten llgs. 10Vcry time
1 was more convinced than bo five! space 10
that she was ttior'/ighly sane In every | Journey,
prnctlcnl sense, and that silo would and ln>f
recall everything is soon as I reminded Alice w
her. But this 1 fore bore to do, fearing j
a reaction.
in liondou, to sell It lor me; and it pro-
| duced more than I had expected. I
. had then commissioned Wood to go to
J the county town and buy a light gig for
' uie; and in this he had been very for-
tunate. My dear old Constancy had
the accomplishment, not at all common
to chargers, of going admirably in har-
ness; and 1 had from the lirst enjoined
upon Wood to gel him into as good
condition as possible. I now llxed a
certain hour at which Wood was to bo
at a certain spot 011 one of the roads
skirting the park where 1 had found
a crazy door in the plank fence—with
Constancy iu the dog cart, and plenty
of wraps for Alice.
And for Heaven's sake. Wood," !
cocciuded, "look to his shoes."
Th.' next evening I said: "Alice 1
must leave the house* will you go with
of corn* I will. 'iv..uean. When?
'The night after to-morrow, as soon
everyone Is In bed and the house
quiet, if you have anything you value
ry much, take It; but the lighter we
go tin.' better."
I have nothing, Duncan. I will take
a little bag that will do for ine."
'But dn ss as warmly as you can. It
II be cold."
•Oh. yes; I won't forget that. Good-
night."
I bad seen Mrs. Blakcsley since slit
had told ine that th young carl and
countess were expected In about a
nitli, else I might have learned
fact which it was very important I
should have known namely, that their
al lutfl been hastened by eight «r
ten days. Tho very morning of our in-
tended departure. I was looking in*o
the court through a little round lu-lo
1 had cleared for observation in tii
dust of one of the windows, believing
I had observed signs of unusual prep
aratIon on the part of the household,
when a carriage drove up. followed by
two others, and Lord and Lady I .il-
tcended and entered, with an
attendance of some eight or ten.
There was a great bustle in the ho ise
all day. Uf course 1 felt uneasy, for if
anything should interfere with our
flight the prepense of so many wo lid
Increase whatever difficulty might
i was also uneasy about
trcutnicu: my Alice might receive fi >ni
the new-coiners. Indeed, It might
put out of her power to meet me at all
It bad been arranged between us Fiat
she should Hot come to the lianu'.ed
chamber at the usual hour, but to-
ward midnight.
1 was there waiting for her. Tin
hour arrived; the house seemed quiet
but she tlid not come. 1 began to gi >w
very uneasy, i wilted half an h< ur
more, and then, unable to endtir
longer, crept to her door. I tried to
open It. but found it fast. At the sa in
time 1 heard a slight sob Inside,
put my lips .to the key-hole, and cal
"Alice." She answered iti a moment
"They have looked me In."
The key was gone. There was
time to be lost. Who could tell wl at
they might do to-morrow. If air
they were taking precautions agaii st
her madness? I would try the key of
a neighboring door, and if that wot hi
not tit. I would burst the door op n
and take the chance. As is was, 'i
key tilted the lock, nnd the door opc .i
ed. We locked It on the outside. rest< i
ed the key. and In another moment
were in the haunted chamber. .
was dressed ready for the flight, 'i o
me it was very pathetic to see her lo
the shapes of years gone by. She loor
ed faded and ancient, notwitbstandii-g
that this was the dress in which I had
seen her so often of old. Her stream
had been standing still, while inloe
had flowed on. She was a portrait < 1
my own young Alice, a picture ef br-
own former self.
One or two lights glancing about be
low detained us for a while. We wer
standing m ar the window, feeling now
very anxious to be clear o ft he house,
Alice was holding me and leaning • n
me with the essence of trust; when, a'l
at once, she dropped my arm, covered
her face with her hands, and called
out: "The horse with the clanking
shoe!" At the same moment the heavv
door which communicated with th's
part of the house flew open with a
\ light gleamed into the room,
and by Ii I saw that Lady Alice, who
landing close to me still, w.is
gazing, with flashing eyes, at the door.
She whispered hurriedly:
**I remember It alt now. Ouncaii. My
brain Is all right. It Is come again.
But they shall not part us this time
You follow ine for once."
As she sp ike, I saw something gli;
ter in her hand. She had eaug it up an
old Malay creese that lay in :i corner
and was now making for the door, at
which half a dozen domestics were by
this time gathered. They, too, saw the
glitter, and made way. 1 followed close,
ready to fell the first who offered to lav
hands on her. But she walked through
tie ni ttnuieuaced. and. once clear, sped
like a bird Into the recesses of the old
house. One fellow started to follow. I
tripped him up. I was collared by an-
other. The same instant he lay by bis
companion, and I foil iwed Alice. Sh>
knew the route well enough, and
overtook her In the great ball. \Y<
heard pursuing feet rattling down th
echoing stnlr. To enter my room an
bolt the door behind us. was a mo
incut's work; and a few moments tnori
took us* Into the alley of the kitchen
garden. With speedy, noiseless step*,
we made our way to the park, and
across It to the door of the fence, where
W<x)d was waiting for us. old Con-
stancy pawing the ground with Im-
patience for a good rim.
He hnd had enough of it before 1J
hours were over.
Wns I not well recompensed for m.v
long years of depalr? The cold stars
were sparkling overhead; a wind blow
keen against us—the wind of our own
(light, Constancy stepped out with a
will; and I urged him on. for he bore
my lielovod and me Into the future
life. Close beside me she sat. wrap
pod warm from tile cold, rejoicing in
her deliverance, and now nnd then
looking np wiili tear-bright eyes Into
my face. Once and again I felt lor
sob. but 1 knew It was a sob of Jay,
and uot of grief. The spell was broken
frozen; when love came, her mental
world, like a garden In tho spring
sunshine, blossomed and budded. When
she lost me. the present vanished, or
went by her like an ocean that fcas
o milestone; she caring only for the
past, living iu the past, nnd that re-
flection of it iu the dim glass of her
hope, which preilgnred the future.
"e have never again heard the
clanking shoe, indeed after we Inn'
passed a few months in the absorption
of each other's society, we began to Ami
that we doubted a great deal of win-1
stsAned to have happened to us. II
was as if tlie gates of the unseen world
were closing against us, because wv
had shut ourselves up In the world ol
the present.
Having examined into Lady Alice's
affairs. I claimed the fortune wlifHi sin
had inherited. Lord Hilton, my former
pupil, at once acknowledged the Jus
Hoc of the claim, nnd was considerably
astonished to flnd how much nior«
might have been demanded of him
which had Ih'oh spent over tho a!
Iowa nee made from her income for
her maintenance. But we had enough
without claiming that.
My wife purchased for me the pos
•ssion of my forefathers, :ind there wt
live in peace nnd hope. To her I ow«
the delight which I feel every day ol
my life in looking upon the haunts o'
my childhood as still mine. They help
to keep young. And so does in;,
o's hair; for although much gray:
now mingles with mine, hers is n.-
dark as ever. For her heart. I know
that cannot grow old; and while th
heart Is young, man may laugh oi l
Time In the face, and dare him to do
Ills worst.

ed as the skin is struck, especially i'-
soft boneless places of t'.ie body. Ihe
clots prevent new -r and better blood

method applies io a sprained wrist or

The reports from northern Colorado
and Wyoming are to the effect that the
wind nnd sand storm was so flerce
there that the men at work clearing the
track were obliged to wear coverings
for their faces, ti..- sand cutting even
through the cloth like a knife and lac-
erating the shovelers In a horrible fash-

The loss of range stock In some por-

RAIN IN NEBRASKA.
Omaha, Neb., April 8—Though nil
trains In Nebraska are comparatively ,
in time tonight, the companies hav
had a hard time operating their oiling
stock In the extreme western part <>t
the state the past tlir. • days. This
was due principally to snow and sand.
The latter covered the track In some
Instances several Inches and were calt
.d so as to require great effort to clear
the roadbeds. Many freights were
temporarily abandoned, but allpasaen-
ger traffic went through, through great
ly delayed. The rains continued today
and no further trouble Is anticipated
as the water will wash the sand from
the tracks and prevent futher drifts
of sand accumulating on the tracks.
This Is the worst experience of the en-
tire winter In railroad circles
Wlnden, Neb., April v -After one of
the most windy and dusty r pel Is of
weather, a change has come and It be-
gan snowing about tin middle of the
night and f*-ll to the depth of one Inch,
after which It began to rain at about
S a. m. yesterday and continued to t o In
at a g« od rate all day. The ground Is
now In a splendid condition, and those
who wore a frown Friday were smiling
out loud yesterday.
Wauneta, Neb., April 8 The heavy
fall of snow reported from here Friday
was succeeded by a steady rainfall
which will effectually break to long

Farmers are jubilant over the excellent
