XVI.
Early tho following morning after
satisfying myself that Jones was get-
lug on ns well as we had any ground to
hope he would nnd that he would be
carefully looked after by the nurses
who had volunteered for the service I
set out for the house on the knoll. It
was my plan to seek Johnson after my
regular call upon Lamnr but fate be-
ing auspicious I was saved the trouble
for the fisherman wns at work about his
employer's premises. Ho was very
willing to let the boat which he said
was well adapted for a woman's use be-
ing light and handy easily rowed and
equipped with a small triangular sail
available In light winds and on smooth
wntcr. IIo would bring it that after-
noon to the head of one of the Inlets.
"You're on shore most of the time
aren't you?" I asked when thlsnrrangc-
mcntlmd been made.
"Ay ny sir" lie answered.
"Tired of salt water'."'
"Xo sir; but a bed that don't pitch
and roll Is comfortable enough for me
when I've a chance to lie In it."
"What nro you doing these days?"
"I'm nono too idle" lie answered
with n quick glance at me.
"Find htm sociable?" I nodded to-
ward the house.
He seemed to be nboutto speak but
after a look ubout him lie changed his
intention and without a wort! turned
ngnln to the tusk which my coming had
interrupted. Smiling nt his caution I
climbed the Elope to the door and en-
tered l.inmr who wns rending lnld
down his book It was his well-worn
Cicero's Letters nnd bade me good-
morning. He seemed to lc rather more
gracious in mood than usual.
"Well" said I "that fellow Jones'
curiosity is not likely to cause you nnv
annoyance for some time to come. We
amputated his right leg last night."
I supposed it would be necessary"
he answered composedly.
"'What? 'Supposed it would be nec-
essary? What did you know of it?"
"I judged his hurt most serious."
"How did you hear of It?"
"I saw it."
"You saw Mm run over?"
"Yes."
"You knew that he was lying there
helpless for ho.irs?"
"It is true."
"And you did not attempt to relict e
him to go to his assistance?"
"The inference is correct"
His tone was jis -unconcerned as ever
his spceeii as 'deliberate as if he were
discussing the anost trivinl of matters.
In spite of my acquaintance with li'lm
I was thundcTHtruek'by this fresh evi-
dence of his cnllouBncsR He enjoyed
my surprise I think ns a singer may
enjoy the irpplnuso of a long hostile
critic. It waHin 'tribute of the sort he
understood and appreciated. As coolly
as If he had been giving directions for
a day's errand-going In Trent he told
the Mory iof tho .accident. Jones lie
said on his 'way home from the beach
tried a nhtnt cut which ran near tho
:noll. Leaving his tenm in the little
hollow where Dorothy Gray afterward
found him. .he cautiously approached
the hummock and climbed to its sum-
mit. Turning a corner of the house lie
came face to face with Lamar. What
talk passed between the two I never
learned but the intruder departed In
such haste 'that his foot slipped on the
slope and 'hu fell. From the way he
limped on.nrising Ltunnr believed that
his ankle was sprained but he con-
trived at last-to reach his horses lie
hod pipkcul up the lines and was pre-
paring to iclimb to the wagon-seat
when Ids Uii jural ankle gate way and
he fell. At the same moment tiic
horses started. The fore wheel of the
loaded vehicle passed over his leg and
before hu could get it out of tho way
if indeed power to move it remained
the hind wheel had completed tho work
tho other had begun. Lamar from nn
upper window of tho liou.se watched
what was happening and so far ns I
could detMuninc from his account of it
spent most of Ills tlmq until the j;lrl
appeared gloating over the sight of the
helpless man 'Stretched out on the
ground at the bottom of the depression.
When Dorothy hurried to his house for
assistance he sat within listening un-
moved to her knocks upon his door nnd
her cries for help. Moreover he pre-
vented old Martha from responding to
tho summons when sounds of it pene-
trated even her dulled hearing. These
tilings he rolatod ns calmly as if they
had occurred at tho other end of the
earth as shamelessly as if there were
no sense of pity in him. What my
opinion of hl conduct might be appar-
ently concerned him not In tho least.
He sat there telling the tale of his hearts
lessness with the told dispassionate
directness of a man who Is his own
judge nnd who hoUls himself blameless
x.nil beyond the need of apology.
"He will survive yon cay?" he asked
in the same level tone of indifference he
had maintained throughout.
"We hope that he wilL" I answered
striving to keep all trace of feeling out
of my voice.
"Tho odds?"
"Last night they were ngainst him;
trxiny they are In his favor."
"Ah! He rallies?"
"He has the best of constitutions. In
thnt lies his hope I mny as well tell
you 'that in his incoherent talk last
night I made out the word 'mistaken.'
It was repeated several times. Did it
have any bearing on his visthere?"
Lamar's face bore tho grim sinila
which rare an it was was tlie limit of
his demonstrations of emotion
"It had a bearing" lie said. "Tho
man regarded me as a suspect He
thought me a criminal of.this country
in hiding. When we met he perceived
his mistake. That is all"
"And you have no fears that he may
cause you trouble?'
"Xone" he answered. And he picked
tip his book to warn me that c-Mr dis-
cussion had reached its close.
I left him aa gladly ns one leaves n
room the airof which is heavy with pois-
onous vapors. 'I was oppressed by
him by his cruelty by his utter disre-
gard of the sufferings of ouother. Often
Lad I been on the verge of hatred for
him; now 1 realized that the line had
been crossed that tho feeling' that J
iTAInllF?
tfi ml
was bound to obey his nod to come nnd
go ht hts command wbuld bo more
odious than ever. Why had I not tho
courage to denounce him to his face
nnd to quit his services then and tliero?
Why had I listened covved nnd up to-
testing? Why even now did 1 not
turn back to case my conscience liko
nn honest man and to cast off tho yoke
which galled me? In my own heart
the answer was only too clear. Uy
degrees Lnmnr had gained nn ascenden-
cy over me until now even ns I cursed
him I recoiled nt tho very thought of
bearding him of daring to pit myself
ngainst his relentless will. Moreover
1 rcnll7cd that within the last few
months a fresh reason for caution had
sprung into existence. They say love
makes men brave; I know It sometimes
makes them cowards.
When I approached tho farmhouse
still bitterly considering the din'icultic
which seemed to hedge me about Mrs.
Weston appealed In the doorway.
"I've got a message for you-' she
called out. "Your bird's flown "
"What? Xot Jones? He can't be
moved" I cried.
"No he's here fast enough. Dr.
Ilnnks lias called and says he's doin'
well; no more fever than to be looked
for. llut he's got something to do with
my news"
"What in thcvorldlslMhcn?'
"MIr' Loring has gone ehasln' o!7 to
Trent takln' Miss Gray with her for
luck."
"Gone to Trent ?" I repented. 'How
is that?"
"Well bIic got up this morula' nn'
dropiieil in to see Jones. Somebody told
her that his pillows wns kinder hot for
him. Tlien there was nothin but
she must go to Trent right oft nnd buy
him one of them kind that's got only
air in 'cm. An' so off she gots an'
Miss Oray goes too. They'll be home in
time for supper. Johnny druv cm to
llnssctlvillo in the carryall and lic'll
wait to bring 'em home."
"Oh the outing will do Mrs. Loring
no harm" said I moving toward the
ofllcc.
"Hut that ain't the message" sahl
Mrs. Weston. "That's saved for the
" Bet doaU you kaow lie is gone?" ibe asbtd.
last llke.a thnnksgivin' mlncc-pic. It's
from Miss Gray and it s nlxnit a boat."
"Yes. She was to look at one this
afternoon."
'TYcll.bein' ns she's inTrcnt she can't
keep the appointment. So bht naked
me to tell you to hire the boat anyhow;
if it suited you It'd suit her."
Thus it happened that when John
son navigated ills craft to the head of
the mlet J wns prepared to bind thebax-
gain "with him.
'Ht may be" 1 told him "that f lie
Indies would safer If they hndnman
with them when they ventured ont on
the bay. In that case could yea help
them 'out V
"I guess I could" said he after a
moment's reflection. "Most general
ly 1 ju 'ou watch the best part of the
day.
. "Off -watch" set me to thinking.
though I very well knew to wnat he
referred.
"Uy the way Johnson" Enid I with
an effort at carelessness "I understand
you look out for Mr. Lamar's mail."'
"Well you might say so" ho .an-
svv ered cautiously.
"I imagine his correspondence is
light;" said I following up the advan-
tage scored by the chance shot.
He nodded nssent.
"Writes to Xcw York as a role'" I
suggested.
"That's-about it."
"Hut hia answers are slow in com-ing.-"
"Tvvojnontlis.sometlmes" said John-
son. ".Look here Doc" lie added
quickly "'I know you're thick with
him or 1 wouldn't have said that much.
It don't go no further do it?"
"I give you my word on thnt" eaid
I. adding rather disingenuously "I
wouldn't have asked you anything you
were not free to tell me."
"That's -what I thought" he raid
witli a look of' relief on his honest face.
"Gab's a poor trade leastwaj-s for a
man."
"Iligbt you Are" said I and with
this bit of wisdom wo dropped the
subject. However I had learned
enough for a basis for a little calcula
tion. Lamnr was communicating witli
friends at home through the Kindly
oflices of somebody in New York. Ills
correspondents forvvnrded their replies
through the same channel of the Xew-
Yorker nnd the fisherman. Xo doub't
they sent li'iu information bearing on
the energy with which his enemies were
pursuing him. Very possibly they hod
means of their own for getting an
inkling of their adversaries' doings. It
could bo bet down ns certain Jhat they
furnished the money which Lamnr
spent on occasion with a liberal hand.
After all though this theorizing was
groping in the dark. It furnished no
clew to the man's mystery; It nured-
ly gave me no caiibo to hate him the
"less or to trust in tho stability of my
tenure of ofllcc in his service. 1 merely
had proof now ns I suspected that he
did not depend entirely upon me in any
of his dealings with tho rest of the
world. Ho evidently believed in checks
and safeguards; nnd through Johnson
lie had secured a check upon me
XVII.
Mrs. Loring returned from Trent In
tho best ot spirits. The day's jaunt
hod done her good. I have no doubt
that it served to satisfy for a time the
craving for gadding about which pos-
sessed her now and then for all her re-
peated praises of a quiet home life.
Moreover she brought with her a
friend whose presence could hardly
but add to her peace of mind; for she
dearly loved to play tho hostess the
more perhaps because her opportuni-
ties for ossumlrg tho role had been so
UMiWyMMMM'
limited. As it happened 1 had only
a gllmpso ot this visitor. Dr. Hank
had sent mo nn urgent messngo to
linstcn to ono of Mr patients nnd 1 wni
driving briskly tovvnrd the sick man's
residence when 1 met the carryall
homeward bound from Ilassettvllle.
Mro. Loring and her niece were slowed
away under a multitude of bundles In
tho stern of the old nrk on wheels
while tho forecastle wns shared by the
youthful John and a stranger of whom
1 could make out little except thnt. he
was a dark bearded man clad In fash-
lonnblo raiment. At tho time I sup-
posed him to be some stray traveler
bound for the village nnd profiting by
the happy necident of tho carryall voy-
nglng in that direction.
Tho evening was far advanced when
I returned to Mrs. Weston's nnd al-
though that lady enlightened mo ns to
tho arrival of Mrs. Loring nnd her rnicst
I wna quite willing to avoid Intruding
upon them. Mrs. Weslou could tell
very little about the ni-n-rouior. She
thought that he was n foreigner with
ono of those outlandish names thnt no-
body buftln nllen could understand. It
was easy to conjecture that Mrs. Lor
ing hud chanced to meet him in Trent
and had insisted upon bringing him to
1'odncytown to talk over old tlmesnnd
to gossip about people they had known
in the Lord knew what distant land.
In the morning no doubt an oppor-
tunity would be given me to pay my re-
spects. Uut the morning brought no oppor-
tunity of tho sort. When I called upon
Mrs. Loring sho was alone nnd her
guest Col. Mendozn she called him
was out for a rumble about the neigh-
borhood. He had expressed a desire to
visit the bench she explained and in-
asmuch ns lie had taken Johnson's boat
was probably cruising about tho bay or
somo of the many channels branching;
off from it. She expected him to re-
turn in an hour or two and she wns
anxious so very anxious thnt I should
meet him. Couldn't I arrange to dine
with them? Kenlly it wns distressing
that another visit to Hnnks' patient
would prevent an acceptance of tho in-
vitation. The colonel wns such a
chnrmlug gentleman so very very
charming ho courteous so erudite so
widely traveled and soon through the
list of applicable ndjectlves. However
thnt afternoon or evening or nt supper
yes that would be n capital time
tho meeting could be brought about.
Of course I acquiesced nnd then n3
Miss Gray was not In sight parted with
her aunt rather abruptly. After a
quarter of nn hour with Jones whose
case showed no unfavorable symptoms
enmc the call upon Lamar. Contrary
to his custom he was pottering nbout
his domain that morning lured from
the house perhnps by the beauty of
the day which how ever was not potent
enough to change his manner for ho
gave mo his stereotyped greeting and
our talk was ns brief and formal as
usual. He ojsked no questions as to the
progress the injured man was making
and I volunteered no Information on
the subject. Then in turn came the
ride on Hanks' business. I returned
from it early in the afternoon nnd after
a hasty meal I challenged any man to
linger unnecessarily over a country
dinner gone 'cold for a -couple of hours
I eiilcd Miss Gray on the porch ot
Mrs. Clark's residence and -strolled in
her direction.
"I've come to make n call'" said I tak-
ing a seat beside her.
"How flattering tbtisl" sho answered
with a Einilc. "I'll bear the news to
my aunt nt once.""
"Oh. there's no hurry. Let me catch
my breath. Tm here to sec your visitor
tliis time."
"Hut don't you know thnt he has
gone?" she .nuked.
"Xo. I supposed him good for two
or three days at least. Certainly Mrs.
Loring didn't -expect him to bid good-
by so speedily lie must bo a genuine
bird of passage.'"
"IIo surprised -us. lleally we saw
very little of him; for he started out
early this morning nnd didn't return
until nearly noon. And then ho win
off to Trent without-waiting for dinner.
IIo explained thnt he had recollected an
important engagement which must
have escaped his memory when enrried
nway by the pleasure of meeting my
mint ho ncccpted her invitation"
"That's odd" said I idly a good deal
relieved on the whole to find that I
need not meet the fit ranger who no
matter how ngrceable ho might have
been would have lessened my chances
for a chat with Dorothy. "Come let
us solace ourtclvcs for his flight by n
cruise in your boat. You'll be com
fortable in the shade of a parasol."
Sho readily agreed to the plan and
in ten minutes we were standing on the
bank above the skiff looking down at
it witli a pretense nt critical inspec-
tion. "It is surprising that Johnson de-
livered the boat with so much mud on
the tents" said I. "Let mo brush it oft
before you try to embark. I'm amazed
at liis carelessness"
"Perhaps the fault Is Col. Mendoza's"
she observed. "He used the boat this
morning you knovv."
"Most of the muss Is out of the wny
now" said I.osslstinghcr into the stern
sheets and settling myself at the oars;
"but I'll speak to Johnson about it
anyway. On6 expects more neatness
in an old man-of-war's-man."
"The colonel Is far more likely to b5
the guilty person" she objected ns I
bent to the oars and the boat gathered
headway.
"Who is he? Is ho a mystery or a
plain everyday body? Tell mo about
him."
'"Wo met him in Xlce nnd afterward
in Paris. Ho was very courteous and
mint and he became very good friends.
He never told us much about himself
but It was by his ndvlco that we mudc
tho trip to IIIo and through letters h?
gave us our stay was made delightful
although the climate failed to heln mv
aunt."
"Ho was not with you in Urazll?"
"Xo. His home wob there and we
heard n good deal of his plantations
but he spent most of his time iu Kurope.
We met him afterward at Baden but
failed to see much of him for business
of some sort called him away a few days
later."
