her father, who had then left to suend It.

CHAPTER XXIII—Continued.
"She believes that I forged the Gil-
lespie notes and ruined her father.
Henry fcas undoubtedly told her so."
"Tea; and he haa used her to pet
them away from young Gillespie.
There'a no question a'.tout that. But
I have the notes, and I propose hold-
ing them, for your protection. But I
don't want to use them If I ran help
tt"
"I appreciate what you are doing for
me," he said quietly, but his eyes were
•till troubled and I saw that he had
little faith In the outcome.
"Your sister la disposed to deal gen
arously with Henry. Slie does not
know where the dishonor lies"
" 'We are all honorable men.'" he
replied bitterly, alowly pacing the
floor. His sleeve* were rolled away
from hla sun browned arms, hla shirt
waa open at the throat, and though he
wore tha rough clothea of a mechanic
ha looked more the artlat at work tn a
rural atudlo than the canoe maker of
tha Tippecanoe. He walked to a win-
dow and looked down for a moment
•pon tha alnglng creek, then came
back to dm and spoka In a different
tone.
"I bare given these yeara of my life
to protecting my brother, and they
■tuat not ba waated. 1 hare nothing
to aaj against him; I shall keep at-
test."
"Ho haa forfeited erary right Now
ta your time to punlah him." I aald;
but Arthur Holbrook only looked at
me pityingly.
"1 don't want revsnge, Mr. Donovan,
bat I am almost In a mood for justice,"
ha aald with a rueful amilo; and Juat
then Rosalind entered the shop.
"la my fate decided T" aha de-
manded.
Tha alght of her seemed to renew
the canoe maker's distress, and I led
tha way at onca to tha door. I think
that In aplte of my efforta to be gay
•ad to carry tha affair off lightly, we
•11 felt that the day waa momentous.
"When shall I expect you back?"
asked Holbrook, when we had reached
the launch.
"Early tonight." I answered.
"But If anything ahould happen
hare?" The teara flashed In Koaallnd'a
•yaa, and sha clung a moment to hla
hand.
"He will hardly be troubled by day-
light, and this evening he can send
wp a rocket If any one moleata him.
Qo ahead, IJIma!"
Aa we cleared Battle Orchard and
aped on toward Olenarm there was a
•ting In the wind, and Lake Annandale
had fretted Itaelf Into foam. We saw
tha Btlletto running prettily before
the wind along the ai' uarm shore, and
I a'opped the engln« before crossing
her wake and let Die launch jump the

tie afraid of Slater Margaret. It waa
presuming a good deal to take her Into
the conspiracy, and I stood by In ap-
prehension while ahe scrutinized Rosa-
lind. She was clearly bewildered and
drew close to the girl, as Rosalind
threw off the wet mackintosh and flung
down the dripping cap.
"Will she do, Slater Margaret?**
"I believe she will; 1 really believe
she will!" And the slater's face bright-
ened with relief. She had a color in
her face that I had not seen before, as
the joy of the situation took hold of
her. She was. I realized, a woman
after nil, and a young woman at that,
with a heart not hardened against
life's dally adventures.
"It is lime for luncheon. Miss Pat
expects you. too."
"Then I must leave you to Instruct
Miss Holbrook and carry off the first
meeting. Miss Holbrook has been—"
"—For a long walk"—the sister sup-
plied—'and will enter St. Agatha's
parlor a little tired from her tramp.
She shall go at once to her room—
with m<-. I have put out a white gown
(or her; and at luncheon we will talk
only of safe thlnga."
"And 1 shall have this bouquet of
sweet peas," added Rosalind, "that I
brought from a farmer's garden near
by, as an offering for Aunt Pat'a birth-
day. Ami you will both be there to
keep me from making tnistakea."
"Then after luncheon we shall drive
until Miss Pat's birthday dinner; and
the dinner shall be oa the terrace at
Glenarm. which la even now being
decorated for a fete occasion. And be-
fore the night la old Helen ahall be
back. Good luck attend us all!" I
said; and we parted In the beat of
splrlta.
I had forgotten Gillespie, and waa
surprlaed to find blm at the table In
my room, absorbed In bualneaa papers.
" 'Button, button, wbo'a got the but-
ton!'" he chanted as ha looked me
over. "You appear to have been swlm-
mlng In your clothea. I kad my mall
aent out here. I've got to shut down
the factory at Ponaocket. The thought
of It bores me extravagantly. What
time's luncheon?"
"Whenever you ring three tlmea.
I'm lunching out."
"Ladles?" he asked, raising his
brows. "You appear to be a little so-
cial favorite; couldn't you get me In
on something? How about dinner?"
"I am myself entertaining at dinner;
and your name Isn't on the list. I'm
sorry to say. Buttons. But to-morrow!
Everything will be possible to-mor-
row. I expect Miss Pat and Helen
here to-night. It'a Miss Pat'a birthday,
and I want to make tt a happy day for
her. She's going to Mttle with Henry
as soon aa some preliminaries are ar-
ranged. so the war's nearly over."
"She can't aettle with him until
something definite la known about Ar-
thur. If he's really dead—"
"I've promised to settle that; but
I muat hurry now. Will yon meet me
at the Glenarm boathouse at alght?
If I'm not there, watt. 1 shall have
something for you to do."
I ' Meanwhile I'm turned out of your
| bouse, nm I? But I positively decllue
* to go until I'm fed."
As I got Into a freah coat he played
j a lively time on the electric bell, and
I left hlra giving his order* to the
I butler.
I was reassured by the sound of
| vole s as 1 passed under the windows
| ol Si Axntlia s, ami Sister Margaret
met m< In the hall with • smiling face.
1 "l.u. L • walla. Wo will gu out at
once. Everything haa passed off
smoothly, perfectly."
I did not dare look at Rosalind until
we were seated In the dining room.
Her sweet peaa graced the center of
the round table, and Slater Margaret
had placed them tn a tall vase so that
Roaallnd was well acreened from her
aunt'a direct gaze. The sister had
managed admirably. Rosallnd'a hair
waa swept up In exactly Helen'a poma-
dour; and In one of Helen's white
gowna, with Helen'a own particular
shade of scarlet ribbon at her throat
and wrlat, the resemblance waa even
more complete than I had thought It
before. But we were cast at once
upon deep watera.
"Helen, where did you find that ar-
ticle on Charles Lamb you real the
other evening? I have looked for It
everywhere."
Rosalind took rather more time than
was necessary to help herself to the
asparagus, and my heart sank; but
Sister Margaret promptly saved the
day.
"It was In the Round World. That
article we were reading on 'The Au-
thorship of the Collecta' la In the same
number."
"Yea; of course," aald Rosalind,
turning to me.
Art seemed a safe topic; and I
steered for the open, and spoke In a
large way, out of my Ignorance, of
Michelangelo's Influence, winding up
presently with a suggestion that Miss
Pat ahould have her portrait painted.
This waa a successful stroke, tor we
all fell Into a discussion of contem-
poraneous portrait painters about
whom 8lster Margaret fortunately
knew something; but a cold chill went
down my back a moment later when
Miss Pat turned upon Rosalind and
aaked her a direct queatlon:
"Helen, what waa the name of the
artlat who did that miniature of your
mother?"
Slater Margaret swallowed a glaaa
of water, and I stooped to pick up my
napkin.
"Van Aradel, wasn't It?" asked Roaa-
llnd. Instantly.
"Yea; ao It was." replied Mlsa Pat
Luck was favoring us. and Rosalind
was rising to the emergency splen-
didly. It appeared afterward that her
own mother had been painted by the
same artist, and she had boldly risked
the guess Sister Margaret and I
were frightened Into a discussion of
the possibilities of aerial navigation,
with a vague notion. I think, of keep-
ing the talk In the air, and It aufflced
until we had concluded the simple lun
cheon. I walked beside Miss Pat to
the parlor. The sky had cleared, and
I broached a drive at once. I had
read In the newapapera that a consid-
erable body of regular troops was
passing near Annandale on a practice
march from Port Sheridan to a ran
desvous at some point south of us.
"Let us go aad see tha soldiers," I
suggested.
"Very well. Larry." sha said. "We
can make believe they are sent out to
do honor to my birthday. You are a
thoughtful boy. I can never thank you
for all your consideration and kind-
ness. And you will not fall to And
Arthur—I am asking you no ques-
tions; I'd rather not know whera he
Is. I'm afraid of truth!" Sha turned
her bead away quickly—wa were seat-
ed by ourselves la a corner of the
room "1 am afraid, 1 am afraid to
ask!"
• Ha Is well; quite wall. I ahall have
news of blm lo-nlght."
She glanced aoross the raoa to
where Rossllnd and Sister Margaret
talked quietly together. I felt Mlsa
Pat'a hand touch mine, and suddenly
there were tears In her eyea.
"I waa wrong! I was most unjust In
what I said to you of her. She was
all tenderness, all gentleness when
she came in this morning." Sha fum-
bled at her belt and held up a small
cluster of tha sweat peaa that Roaa-
llnd had brought from Red Gate.
"I told you so!" I said, trying te
laugh off ber contrition. "What yon
said to me la forgotten. Miss Pat"
"Aad now when everything la set-
tied. If she wanta to marry Gillespie,
let her do It"
"But she won't! Haven't I told you
that Helen shall never marry him?"
I had ordered a buckboard, and It
was now announced.
"Don't trouble to go upstairs, A ant
Pat; I will bring your thlnga for yon,"
said Roaallnd; and Miss Pat turned
upon me with an air of satisfaction
and pride, as much as to say; "Ton
see bow devoted sha Is to me!"
I wish to acknowledge here my ob-
ligations to Sister Margaret for giving
me the benefit of her care and re-
sourcefulness on that difficult day.
There was no nice detail that she over-
looked. no danger that she did not an-
ticipate. She sst by Miss Pat on the
long drive, while Rosalind and I chat-
tered nonsense behind them. We ware
so fortunate as to atrlke the first bat-
'alion, and saw It go Into camp on a
bit of open prairie to await the arrival
of the artillery that followed. But at
no time did I lose sight of the odd
business that still lay ahead of me,
nor did I remember with any satla-
factlon how Helen, somewhere across
woodland and lake, chafed at the de-
layed climax of her plot. The girl at
.ny side, lovely and gracious as she
was, struck me Increasingly as but a
tame shadow of that other one, so like
and so unlike! I marveled that Miss
Pat had not aeen It; and In a period
of alienee on the drive home I think
Rosalind must have guessed my
thought; for I caught her regarding
me with a mischievous smile and she
said, as the others rather too generous-
ly sought to Ignore us:
"You can see now how different I
am—how very different!"
When I left them at St. Agatha's
with an hour to spare before dinner.
Sister Margaret assured me with her
eyes that there was nothing to fear.
I was nervously pacing the long ter-
race when I saw my guests approach-
ing I told the butler to order dinner
at once and went down to meet them.
Miss Pat declared that she never felt
better; and under the excitement of
the hour Sister Margaret'a ayes
glowed brightly.
As we sat down In the screened cor-
ner of the broad terrace, with the first
grave approach of twilight tn tha sky.
and the curved trumpet of the young
moon hanging In the west. It might
have seemed to an onlooker that tha
gods of chance had oddly ordered our
little company. Miss Patricia tn white
was a picture of serenity, with the
smile constant about her lips, happy la
her hope for the future. Rosalind,
fresh to these surroundings, showed
clearly her pleasure In the pretty set
ting of the scene, and read Into It, la
bright phrases, tba delight of a story-
book Incident.
"Let me sea," aba said, reflectively,
"just who wa are: We are the lady of
the caatle perilous dining al fresco,
with tha abbess, who Is also a nobis
lady, coma across the fields to sit at
meat with bar. And you. sir, are a
knight full orguloua, feared in many
lands, ud sworn to tha defense of
tbeee ladles."
"And you"—and Miss Pat's ayes
were beautifully kind and gentle, aa
ahe took the cue and turned to Rosa-
lind. "you are the well beloved daugh-
ter of my house, faithful In all service,
in all ways self-forgetful and kind, our
joy and our prtde."
It may have been the spirit of tha
evening that touched us, or only tha
light of her countenance and the deep
sincerity of her voice; but I knew
that tears were bright In all our eyes
for a moment. And then Rosalind
glanced at the western hesvens
through the foliage.
"There are tba stars. Aunt Pat-
brighter than ever to-night for your
birthday."
