CHAPTER I.
When u was all over Mr. Sam came
out to the sprlng-houso to say good-by
to mo before he and Mrs. Bam left
I hated to see him go after all wo
had been through together and I sup-
pose) ho aaw It In my faco for he
camti over close and stood looking
down at ma and smiling. "You
saved us Minnie" he said "and 1
needn't tell you wo'ro grateful; but do
you know what I think?" ho asked
pointing his long forefinger at mo. "1
think you'vo enjoyed It even when you
were suffering most. Ited-halred wom-
en are born to Intrigue as the sparks
fly upward."
"Enjoyed It!" I snapped. "I'm an
old woman boforo my tlino Mr. Sam.
What with trailing back and forward
through the snow to tha shelter-houso
and not getting to bed at all some
nights and my heart going by flta and
starts as you may Bay and half the
time my spinal marrow fairly chilled
not to mention putting on my over-
shoes every morning from forco of
habit and having to take them off
again I'm about all in."
"It's been the making of you Mln-
nle" he said eyeing me with his
hands In his pockets. "Look at your
chcoksl Look at your disposition 1 I
don't bellevo you'd stab anybody In
the back now!"
(Which was a Joke of course; I
ncvor stabbed anybody In the back.)
Ho opened the door and a blast of
February wind ruttled tho window-
frames. Mr. Sam threw out his chest
under his sweater and waved tne an-
other good-by.
"Well I'm off Mlnnlo" he said.
"Take caro of yourself and don't sit
too tight on tho Job; learn to rise a
bit In tho saddle."
"Good-by Mr. Sam!" I called put-
ting down Miss Patty's dolly and fol-
lowing hlra to the door; "gcod-by; bet-
ter have something beforo you start to
kcop you wnrm."
He turned at the corner of the path
and grinned back at me.
"All right" ho called. "I'll go down
to tho bar and get a lettuce sand-
wich!" Then he was gone and happy as 1
was I knew I would miss htm terribly.
It began when tho old doctor died.
I suppose you have heard of Hopo San-
atorium and tho mineral spring that
made It famous.
I have been spring-house girl at
Hope Sanatorium for fourteen years.
For tho first year or so I nearly went
crazy. Then I found things were com-
ing my way. I've got the kind of mind
that never forgets a namo or faco and
can comblno them properly which
Isn't common. And when folks came
back I could call them at once. The
old doctor used to say my memory was
an ossot to tho sanatorium.
He was In the habit of coming to
the sprlng-houso every day to get his
morning glass of water and read the
papers. For a good many years It bad
been his cUBtora to sit there In tho
winter by the wood Are and In summer
Just inside the open door and to read
ff the headings aloud while I cleaned
Rround the spring and polished
glasses '
All that winter with the papers
full of rumors that Mies Patty Jen-
nings was going to marry a prince
we'd followed It by the spring-house
Are the old doctor and I getting an-
gry at the Austrian emperor for oppos-
ing It when we knew hqw much too
good Miss Patty was for any foreign-
er and then getting nervous and
fussed when wo read that tho prince's
mother was In favor of the match and
It anight go through. Miss Patty and
her father came every winter to Hope
Springs and I. couldn't have beon more
anxlouB about It If she had bien my
own sister.
Well as I say It all began tho very
day the old doctor died. He stamped
out to tho spring-bouse with tho morn-
ing paper about nine o'clock and the
wedding seemed to bo all off. The
paper said the emperor bad definitely
refused his consent and had sent the
prince who was his cousin for a Jap-
anese cruise while the Jennings fam-
ily was going to Mexico lu their pri-
vate car Tho old doctor was Indlg
nant and I remember how he tramped
up and down the spring-house mut-
tering that the girl had had a lucky
scape and what did the emperor
xpect If beauty and youth and wealth
weren't enough. But he calmed down
and soon he was reading that the pa-
pers were predicting an early spring
and he said we'd better begin to In-
crease our sulphur percentage In the
water
"Ily the way" he remarked "Mr.
Richard will be along In a day or so
Minnie. You'd better break It to Mr.
Wiggins."
Since tho summer before we'd bad
to break Mr Dick's coming to Mrs.
Wiggins the housekeeper owing to
his finding her false front whero It
had blown out of tbt window having
been bung up to dry and bU wearing
It to luncheon as whiskers. Mr Dick
waB tho old doctor's grandson.
"Humph!" I said and be turned
round and looked squaro at me.
"He's a good boy at heart Minnie"
he fcAhl- "W't had our troubles with
him you and I but everything has
been quiet lately."
"I'm not objecting to Mr. Dick
coming here am IT Only don't oxpect
me to burst into song about It. Shut
the door behind you when you go out."
Dut be didn't go at once. Ho stood
watching mo polish glassos and get
tho card-iables ready and I knew ho
still had something on bis mind.
"What has Mr. Dick been up to
now?" I asked growing Auspicious.
"Nothing. Dut I'm an old man. Min-
nie a very old man."
"Stuff and nonsense" I exclaimed
alarmed. "You're only Boventy."
"And If" ho went on "anything hap-
pens to me Mlnnlo I'm counting on
you to do what you can for tho old
place. You've been here a good many
years Minnie."
"Fourteen years I hnve been ladling
out water at this spring" I said try-
ing to keep my lips from trembling.
"I wouldn't bo at homo any place
olso unlesB it would be In an aqua-
rium. Dut don't ask mo to stay here
and help Mr. Dick sell tbo old placo
for a summer hotel. For that's what
he'll do." v
"He won't sell It" declared the old
doctor grimly. "All I want Is for you
to promleo to stay."
"Oh I'll stay" I said. "I won't
promise to bo agreeable but I'll Btay.
Somebody'll havo to look after tho
spring; I reckon Mr. Dick thinks It
comes out of tho earth Just as wo eell
It wttb the whole pharmacopoeia In
It."
Well It made the old doctor hap-
pler and I'm not sorry I promised
but I've got a Joint on my right foot
that throbs when It Is going to rain
or I am going to havo bad luck
and It gave a Jump then. I might
havo known thero was trouble ahead.
It was pretty quiet in the spring-
house that day after the old doctor
left. I drew a chair In front of the
fire and wondered what I would do If
tho old doctor died and what a fool
I'd been not to be a school-teacher
which Is what I studied for. I was
thinking to myself bitterly that all
that my experience in the spring fitted
me for was to be a mermaid when I
heard something running down the
path and It turned out to ba.Tlllle.
tho dlot cook.
She slammed the door behind ber
and threw the Flnleyvllle evening pa-
per at me.
"Therel" she said "I've won a cake
of toilot soap from Dath-house Mike.
The emperor's consented."
"Nonsense!" I snapped and
snatched tho paper. Tlllle was right;
the emperor had! I sat down and
read It through and thero was Miss
Patty's picture In an oval and the
prince's in nnother with a turned-up
mustache and his hand on tho handle
of his sword and between them both
was tbo Austrian emperor.
Well I sat there and thought It over
Mlsa Patty or Miss Patricia being
so to speak a friend of mine. They'd
come to the Springs every winter for
years.
In my wash-stand drawer I'd kept
all tbo clippings about her coming
out and tho winter she spent In
Washington and was supposed to be
engr.ged to the president's son and
"What's Mr. Dick Been Up to Now?"
the mngtujno articlo that told how
Mr. Jennings had got his money b'y
robbing widows and orphans and
showed (be little frame house where
MIsb Patty was born as if she's bad
anything to do with It. And so now
I was cutting qut the picture of ber
and tho prince and the article under-
neath which told bow many castles
she'd have and I don't mind saying
I was sniffling a little bit for I
couldn't get used to tho Idea. And
suddenly the door closed softly and
there was a rustle behind me. When
I turned It was Miss Petty herself.
Shi saw tho clipping immediately and
stoppod Just inside the door.
"You too" she said. "And we've
come all this distance to get away
from Just that."
"Well I shan't talk about It" 1
replied not holding out my hand for
with her so to speak next door to
bolng a princess but the leaned right

I v
over and kissed mo. I could hardly
believe It.
"Why won't you talk about It!" she
Insisted catching me by the shoulders
and holding mo off. "Minnie your
oyes are as red as your hair!"
"I don't approvo of it" I said. "You
might as well know It now as later
MIsb Patty. I don't believe In mixed
marriages. I had a cousin that mar-
ried a Jew and what with him making
tho children promise to be good on
tho Talmud and ber trying to raise
them with tho Dlble the poor things
Is that mixed up that It's pitiful."
Sho got a llttlo red at that but she
Bat down and took .up tho clipping.
"Ilo's much better looking than that.
Minnie" she said soberly "and he's a
good Catholic. Dut If that's the way
you feel we'll not talk about it. I'vo
had enough trouble at homo as it Is."
With that I began to blubber and
sho came Into my arms like a baby.
"You'ro all I've got" I declared over
and over "and you'ro going to llvo In
a country whero they harness women
with dogs and you'll never hear an
English word from morning to night."
"Stuff!" She gavo me a llttlo shako.
"Ho speaks as good English as I do
And now we're going to stop talking
about him you're worse than the
nowspapors."
And at that minute tbo door was
flung open and Dath-houso Mlko stag-
gered In.
"Tho old doctor!" ho gasped. "He's
dead Miss Minnie died Just now In
tho hot room In tha bath-house! Ono
mlnuto ho waB glvln' me the dlvll for
something or other and tbo next I
thoucht he was asleep."
Something thnt had been heavy In
my breast all afternoon suddenly
seemed to burst and made mo feel
faint all over. Dut I didn't lose my
head.
"Does nnybody know yetT" I asked
quickly. He. shook his head.
"Then he didn't die in the bath-
house Mike" I said firmly. "He died
In his bed and you know It. If it
gets out that he died In the hot room
I'll have the coroner on you."
Miss Patty was standing by the rail-
ing of tbo spring. I got my shawl and
started out after Mike and she fol-
lowed. "It the guests ever get hold of this
they'll stampede. Start any excite
ment In a sanatorium" I said "and
one and all they'll dip their thermom-
eters in hot wator and swear they've
got fever!"
And we hurried to tha house
gether.

CHAPTER II.
Well we got the poor old doctor
moved back to his room and had one
of the chambermaids And him there
nnd I wired to Mrs. Van Alstyne who
was Mr. Dicky Carter's sister and
who was on her honeymoon In South
Carolina. The Van Alstynes came
back at once in very bad tempore
and wo bad the funeral from the
preacher's house In Flnleyvllle so as
not to barrow up tho sanatorium
people any more than necessary.
After It was all over the relatives
gathered In the sun parlor of the san-
atorium to hear the will Mr. Van Al-
styne and his wife and about twenty
more who had come up from the city
for tho funeral and stayed over on
the house.
Well the old doctor left me the but'
tons for his full dress waistcoat and
hla favorlto copy of "Cray's Anatomy."
I couldn't exactly set up housekeeping
with my share of the estate.
They thought that was funny but
a few minutes later they weren't so
cheerful. You eee the sanatorium was
a mighty fine piece of property with
a deer park and golf links. We'd
had plenty of offers to sell It for a
Bummer hotel but we'd both been
dead against It That was one of the
reasons for the will.
The whole CBtnto was left to Dicky
Carter who baAi't been able to come
owing to his belpg told up with an
attack of mumps. The family sat up
I and nddded at ono another or held
up its hands but when they beard
' there was a condition they breathed
easier.
i Beginning with one week after the
reading of the will and not a day
later Mr. Dick was to take charge of
the sanatorium and to stay there for
two months without a day off. If at
tho end of that time the place was
being successfully conducted and
could show that it hadn't lost money
the entire property became his for
keeps. If ho failed It was to be sold
and the money given to charity.
Well the family went back to town
In a buzz .of Indignation and I car-
ried my waistcoat buttons and my
"Anatomy" out to tho sprlng-houso and
had a good cry. There was a man
named Thoburn who was crazy for
tho property as a summer hotel and
overy time I shut my eyes I could see
"Thoburn Houso" over tho veranda
and children sailing papor boats in tho
mineral spring.
Sure enough the next afternoon Mr.
Thoburn drove out from Flnleyvllle
with a suit case and before he'd taken
off his overcoat he came out to the
spring-bouse.
I
"Hello Minnie." ho exclaimed.
"Docs the old man's ghost come back
to dope the spring or do you do It?"
"I don't know what you are talking
nbout Mr. Thoburn" I retorted sharp-
ly. "If you don't know that this spring
has Ub origin in "
"In Schmidt's drug store down In
Flnleyvllle!" he finished for mo. "Oh
I know all about that spring Mlnnlo I
Don't forgot that my father's cows
used to drink that water and liked It.
I leave It to you" he said sniffing "It
a self-rcBpectlng cow wouldn't dlo of
thirst beforo she drank that stuff as
It Is now."
I'd been filling him a glass It being
a matter of habit with mo and he
took It to tho window and held It to
tho llgh.U
"You're getting cnreless Minnie" he
Bald squinting at It "Somo of those
drugs ought to be dissolved first In
hot water. Thero's a lump of llthla
thero that has Schmidt's pharmacy la-
bol on It."
"Where?" I demauded and started
for It. He laughed at that and put-
ting tho glasB down he came over and
Btood smiling at me.
"As Ingenuous as a child" he said
In his mocking way "a nlco llttlo red-
hatred child 1 Mlnnlo how old Is tills
young Carter?"
"Twenty-three."
"An er earnest youth? Willing to
buckle down to work and mako the
old placo go? Itcndy to pat tho old
lad'es on tho shoulder and squcezo tbo
young ones' hands?"
"He's young" I said "but It you're
counting on his being a fool "
"Not at nil" ho broke In hastily.
"If he hasn't too much character he'll
probably succeed. I hope ho Isn't a
fool. Whoro Is ho now?"
"Ho's been sick" I Bald. "Mumps!"
"Mumps! Oh my aunt!" he ex-
claimed and fell to laughing. He was
etlll laughing whon ho got to the door.
"Mumpsl" he repeated with bis
hand on tho knob. Minnie tho old
place will bo under the hammer In
three weeks and If you know what's
good for you you'll sign In under the
new management whllo there's a va-
cancy." "If I were you" I said looking him
straight In the oye ''I wouldn't pick
out any new carpets yet Mr. Thoburn.
I promised the old doctor I'd help Mr.
Dick and I will."
"So you're actually going to fight
It out" ho said grinning. "Well tho
odds are In your favor. You are two
to my one."
"I think It's pretty even" I retorted.
"We will bo hindered bo to speak by
having certain principles of honor and
honesty. You havo no handicap."
He tried to think of a retort and
not finding one ho slammed out of
the sprlng-houso In a rage.
Mr. Van Alstyno and his wife came
In that same day Just before dinner
and we played three-handed bridge for
hnlf an hour. As I'vo said they'd been
on their honeymoon nnd they were
both sulky at having to stay at the
Springs.
After the first rubber Mrs. Van Al-
styno threw her cards on the floor and
said another day Uko this would flnlsh
ber.
Sho turned her back to her hus
band but he pretended to tuck the
hair at tho back of her neck up under
her comb and she let hltn do It. As
I stooped to gather up the cards he
kissed the tip of her ear.
"Listen" he said "there's a scream
of a play down at Flnleyvllle to-night
called "Swcot Peas." Senator Biggs
and the bishop went down last night
and they say It's tho worst In twenty
years. Put on a black veil and lot's
slip away and see It."
I think she agreed to do It but that
nlgbt after dinner Amanda King who
has charge of the nows stand told me
the sheriff had closed the opera-house
and that tho leading woman was sick
at tho hotel.
"They say she looked funny last
night" Amanda finished "and I guess
she's got tho mumps."
Mumps!
My Joint gave a throb at that min-
ute. Mr Sam wasn't taking any chances
for the next day he went to the city
himself to bring Mr.-Dick up.
Ho hadn't come back by the morn-
ing of tbo sixth day but he wired bis
wife the day before that Mr. Dick was
on the way. But we met every train
with a sleigh and he didn't come. I
was unoasy knowing Mr. Dick and
Mrs. Sam was worried too.
It had been snowing hard for a day
or so and at eleven o'clock that day
I saw Miss Cobb and Mrs. Biggs com-
ing down the path to tho spring-bouse.
"Mr. Van Alstyne Id back" said Miss
Cobb "but ho came alone."
"Alone!" I ropeatcd staring at her
In a sort of daze.
"Alone" she said solemnly "and I
heard him ask for Mr. Carter. It
seems ho started for here yesterday."
But I'd had time to get myself in
hand and if I bad a chill up my spine
she never knew It. As she started
away I saw Mr. Sam hurrying down
the path toward the spring-house and
I knew my Joint hadn't throbbed for
nothing.
Mr. Sam came In and slammed the
door behind him.
"What's this about Mr. Dick not be-
ing hero?" ho shouted.
"Well ho Isn't. That's all thero Is
to It Mr Van Alstyne" I said calmly.
"But ho must be here" ho said. "I
put him on the train myself yester-
day and waited until It started to be
sure ho was off."
"Exactly what was bo doing when
you lost laid eyes on htm?" 1 asked.
"He was on tho trnln "
"Sitting?"
"No standing. What the douce.
Minnie"
"Waving out the window to you?"
"Of courso not!" exclaimed Mr. Van
Alstyne testily. "Ho was raising the
window for a girl In tho next seat."
"Precisely!" I snld. "Would you
know tho girl well enough to trace
hur?"
"That's ridiculous you know" ho
Bald trying to bo polite. "Out of a
thousand and ono things that may
have detained htm "
"Only one thing ever detains Mr.
Dick and that always detains him" I
nald solemnly. "Thnt's a girl. You'ro
a newcomer In tho family Mr. Van
Alstyne; you don't remember tho time
ho wont down hero to tho station to
seo his Aunt Agnes off to tho city and
we found him three weeks later In
Oklahoma trying to marry a widow
with nvo children."
"I'll havo to tell my wife" ho said.
"Who's running tho placo anyhow?
You?"
"Not--oxactly" I explained "but of
courso when anything comes up they
consult mo. Tho housekeeper Is a
fool and now that tho house doctor's
gone "
"Gone I Who's looking after the
patients?"
"Well most of them have been hero
before" I explained "and I know
tholr treatment tho kind of baths and
all that"
"Oh you know the troatmontl" ho
said eyeing me. "And why did the
houso doctor go?"
"Ho ordored Mr. Moody to take his
spring water hot Mr. Moody's spring
water has beon ordered cold for cloven
years and I refused to change. It
was between the doctor and me Mr.
Van Alstyne."
"Oh of course" he said "If It was
a matter of principle " He picked up
his hat and looked at bis watch.
"Elovcn thirty" he said "and no
sign of that puppy yet I guess It's
up to the police."
"it there was only something to do"
I said with a lump In my throat "but
to havo to sit and do nothing while
tho old place dies; It's It's awful Mr.
Van Alstyno."
"Wo're not dead yet" ho replied
from the door "and maybe we'll need
you before tbo day's over. It anybody
can sail tho old bark to shore you can
do It Minnie. You'vo been steering
It for years. The old doctor was no
navigator and you and I know It"
The storm stopped a little at three
and most of the guests waded down
through the snow for bridge and
spring water. By that time tho after-
noon train was in and n6 Mr. Dick.
Mr. Sam was keeping tho lawyer Mr.
"You're Getting Careless Minnie" He
Said 8qulntlng at It.
Stttt in the billiard room and by four
o'clock they'd had everything that was
in the bar and were inventing new
combinations of their own. And Mrs.
Sam had gone to bed with a nervous
headache.
Senator Biggs brought the mall
down to the spring-house at four but
there was nothing for mo except a
note from Mr Sam rather shaky
which said he'd no word yet and that
Mr Stltt had mixed all the cordials In
the bar In a beer glass and bad had
to go to bed.
I nearly wont crazy that afternoon
I put salt In Miss Cobb's glass when
sho always drank the water plain.
Onco I put the broom In the fire and
started to sweep tbo porch with a
lire log. Luckily they were busy with
tholr letters and It went unnoticed tho
Bmell of burning straw not rlelng so
to speak above the sulphur of the
spring.
Senator Biggs went from one Ubjo
Vil
to Mother telling how well ha felt
since Up stopped eating and trying to
coax the other men to starvo with
htm.
It's funny how a man with a theory
about his stomach Isn't happy until
ho has made some other fellow swal-
low It.
Tli on they alt began at once. If you
hnve ever heard twenty people airing
thnlr theories m dlot you know all
about it. It .lift ya ends the same
way: tho man with tho loudest voice
wins and tho defeated ulics limp over
to tho spring and tell their theories
to mo. They know I'm belv? paid to
listen.
Hut when things had cot oulet o
cept Mr. Moody dropping nickels ii'to
tho slot-machine I happened to look
over at Miss Patty and I .aw there
waB something wrong. Sho had a let-
ter opon In her lap not ono of the
bluo ones with the black and gold seal
that overy ono In tho houso knew came
from tho prince but a white ono and
sho "was Btarlng at It as If she'd seen
u ghost.
CHAPTER III.
I have never reproached Miss Patty
but If she had only given mo the letter
to read or had totd mo tho wholo truth
Instead of a part of It I would have
understood and things would till have
been different. It Is all very well for
her to say that I looked worried
onough already. and that anyhow It
was n family affair. I should have
been told.
All sho did was to come up to me
as I stood In tho Bprlng with ber
faco perfectly white nnd ask mo It
my Dicky Carter wns tho Itlcbard Car-
ter who stayed at tho Qroavenor In
town
"Ho doesn't stay anywhere" I said.
with my feet getting cold "but that's
whero he has apartments. What haa
ho been doing now?"
"You'ro expecting him on the eve-
ning train aren't you?" sho asked.
"Don't staro like that: my father's
watching."
"He ought to be on tne evenlnn
train" I said I wasn't going to say
I expected him. I didn't.
"Tho wretch!" sho cried "tho hate-
ful creature as If things weren't bad
enough! I suppose he'll have to come
Minnie but I must see him befor
he sees any one olse."
Just then the bishop brought his
glass over to the spring.
"Hot this tlmo Minnie" be said.
"Do you know I'm gottlng the mineral-
water habit. Patty 1 I'm afraid plain
water will have no attraction for m
nfter this."
Ho put his hand over hers on the
rail. They were old friends the bish-
op and the Jennlngscs.
"Bishop" she said suddenly "will
you do something for me?"
"I always have Patty." He was
very fond of Miss Patty was the
bishop.
"Then to-night not later than eight
o'clock get father to play crlbbag.
wilt you? And keep blm In the card-
loom until nine."
"Another escapade!" he said pre
tending to be very serious. "Patty
Patty you'll be the death of me yet
Is thy servant a dog that he should
do this thing?"
"Certainly not" said Miss Patty
"Just a dear slightly bald but still
very distinguished slaval"
"There will be plenty of slaves to
kiss your little hand where you are
going my child" ho said. "Sometimes
I wish that some nice red-bloodod bo
hero at homo but I dare say It will
turn out surprisingly well as it is"
"Bishop Bishop!" Mrs. Moody
called. "How naughty of you and
with your bridge hand waiting to be
holdl"
Well I knew Mr. Dick had been up
to some mischief; I had suspected it
all along. But Mies Patty went to bed
and old Mrs. Hutchlns who's a sort
of lady's-mald-companlon ot hers said
she mustn't be disturbed. I was pret-
ty nearly sick royeelf. And when Mr.
Sam came out at five o'clock and said
he'd beon In the long-distance tele-
phone booth tor an hour and bad
called everybody who bad ever known
Mr. Dick and that he bad dropped
right off the earth I Just about gavn
up.
Luckily Mr. Stltt was In bed with a
mustard leaf ovor his stomach and Ice
on hit head and didn't know wbethor
It was night or morning.

Origin of Iron Duke.
The Iron Duke Is to be the next
big British battleship. The Duke ot
course was Wellington but he came
by the nickname In a roundabout way.
He was never so called until long
after Waterloo. An Iron steamship a
novelty at the time was built In the
Mersey and named the Duke of Well-
ington find so the vessel came to bo
known as. the Iron Duke tho transi-
tion being easy and obvious. It was
the duke's union ot resolution and
physical energy1 which mado the pop-
ular namo far the Mersey-built steam
