CHAPTER XIV.
Bacon and Efjgt.
Dolores slept not because of young
(Ireen'a wish that she should sleep
but because sbo wns worn out from
watching and anxiety and fell Into a
dreamless slumber nlmnst as soon an
her head touched the pillow; and It
waa broad daylight when she again
woke' to every-dny life.
Shu bathed her face lu cold water.
When she was dressed she wont out
to tho other room.
Mrs Allen had kindled a Urn on the
hearth and the kettle was singing
cheerily over Ihe leaping Ilntues; tho
coffee filled the room with rrugrnuco.
As Dolores entered she spoke plena-
aiitly to her noting thu faint trace
or color In thd checks and the bright
ness of tho brave dark eyes.
"((aid morning Dolores. Hreak-
fast will be ready on the Initio lu a
moment IT you are ready."
Tho girl looked steadily Into the
kindly eyes opposite her own very
searching.
"How Is my rather?"
"Asleep Miss Johnson nsleep and
quiet. It In the best thing for him."
Dolores turned away and went out
to tho entry preparing to go In tho
rain. Then she took tho pall and went
to tbo shed to milk Hrlndle Mrs. Al-
len pnused at the window to watch
her. She wns n grotesque figure strid-
ing through tho storm with her fath-
er's hat on and the boots pathetically
out of place on her reel. Thn nurse
shook her head as she went back
Into the room setting tho dishes nnd
preparing the bacon and eggs for the
doctors beyond tho closed doors.
Dolores was drenched when she
reached tho shed but alio minded It
apparently not at all. She pushed
back tho shawl and drew tho three-
legged stool out of tho rornur. Tho
streams of milk In tho pall Joined lu
with thn rain ngnlust thn windows.
It was half gloom In thu shed. When
the pall was full Dolores phlled down
Mime hay from the mow overhead
and Hrlndle burled her broad soft
nose lu It with a deep breath of con-
tent. The girl carried the foaming milk to
tho house uud strained It Into pans
tho nurse watching her curiously.
Then sbo prepnred Iho feed for the
chickens and went out to feed them.
When she relumed to tho houso Mrs.
Allen removed her wet clothing and
requested her to change her gown
hers was so wet nnd draggled
Dolores looked at her lu surprise.
She wns lu the habit of performing
these duties rain or shine nnd It
never harmed her; rnln was but rain.
It might bo that she wns used to it
wns thn reason why sho did not mind
It. Tho other women of tho settle-
ment did the same nnd not ono of
them fenred a wetting; they gnvo no
thought to It; they knew nothing bet-
ter; thu ralu enmo or tho nun nnd
tho work wns done; doubtless tho men
would havu been surprised had the
women complained. She moved from
her companion to the fire.
"They will want their breakfast"
Striding through the storm.
she said slowly motioning toward thn
dosed door beyond ns though It wejo
tho only thought In her mind
"They have their breakfast" Mra.
Align said. S!io placed tho food on
the table uud drew up tho chairs
rosily.
"Come dear" she said tho mother-
ly tone returning to her voice "let
us havo our breakfast. I think your
undo will como over this morning lu
spltu of tho ralu nnd I don't want
him to see such n palo llttlo facu
fur his niece. Dora Is so anxious to
sue you she will doubtless send for
you on sho cannot como herself. Judgo
Green will send a closed carriage ami
you need not fear thu rain"
DolorcH hands dropped In her lap
A feeling of Indlgnntlon possessed
her; her eyes were wide nnd ateady;
when sho nistko her volco wus low
and grave. Mrs. Allen wns somewhat
dismayed although apparently sho
took It lightly.
"Did I not say I will not leave my
fnthor ever wlillo ho lives not for
unyotie?"
Ily unif by ono of the phyr.lclnns
enmo out nnd asked for young Green.
"Wo nre waiting for him" ho snld.
Ho promised lo come early and staid
nt the tavern on put pose."
Dolores spoko lo him. A slight
Mown wrinkled his rorehead; he
wished she wore well out ot l he
hoiisu.
"(llnd to see jou Charlie; 1 was be-
ginning to think you were called away
lo some urgent case. beg your par-
don Miss Johnson."
"It Is strange" Dolores said slow-
ly. Some way uveryono listened
when Dolores spoke. "It Is strange"
sho repented slowly nud distinctly
her volco filling every corner ot the
long low room. "Ho Is my fnther;
why can I not seo him 7 Why doen
no ono tell me of him? Surely I should
know. They think 1 cannot nurso my
fnther; do I not know his ways bet-
ter than anyone else's? Why can 1
not see him? Kven he" with a slow
motion of her hand toward young
Green "puts mo olT when I ask about
him. You can tell mo If you will."
Her solemn eyes were on Dr. Dun-
widdlo's fuco; she trusted him In-
stlnctlvely; sho know he. would tell
her tho truth.
You shall seo him" tho doctor re-
plied quietly us though It wero n
matter of little moment. "Ho Is sleep-
ing now. Miss Johnson; us soon uh ho
wakes joil shall seo him. Your undo
will be hero this morning but unless
jour father Is awake ho cannot sue
him. Aro you ready Chnrllo?"
"Yes" young Green replied his
eyes on Dolores' face. Ho crossed
over to her sldo us Dr. Dunwiddlu
left tho room.
"I am glnd you slept last night.
Miss Johnson " he said. "1 brought
this thinking you might like to read
it. It Is full of new facts regarding
the stais they havo discovered u
now i tar or think they hnvo. The
wiso men of science aro piiz.llng their
heads over It."
Tho girl's soul was In her eyes as
sho lifted them to his as ho stood be-
side her and his heart ached for her
knowing the truth to which sho was
hhut out.
"They will not let mo seo my fath-
er" sho said slowly her eyes search-
ing his face as though to read there-
in why this thing should be.
Ho smiled reassuringly and laid
his strong hand over hers resting
niton tho dresser though u shadow
was In his eyes for very pity of tho
tender wondering face lifted to his.
"Wo nre doing the best we can lor
your father Dolores nnd as soon as
he wakens you shall seo him. You
belluvo mo? I would not tell you an
untruth you know. And why should
I?"
"There Is no reason" sho said and
tho lashes drooped disappointedly
over the dark eyes. "Do they think
I could not bear to bo told? I can
nurse him us well ns they uud I am
willing. I believu you but 1 must
know."
"And I promise you" thero waa nn
Intensity lu his voice that caused the
lashes to lift from tho hidden eyes
and u swift sudden startled glance
met his "I piomlho you Dolores
Hint you shall know. You think wo
nro cruel but wo aro trying to be
kindness Itself Dolores."
Ho loft the book of which ho. had
spoken on tho dresser nud her fingers
dosed over It ns though It might glvo
her strength lu Iho iibseiico of tho
stronger handclasp of her friend
Sho lifted tho book and clasped her
two hands around It. If Dora would
not do this sho would not llko her
but sho believed that alio would. All
women cared for tho men of thulr
households when they needed care;
thero was no reason why she should
be shut out from her father's room.
The volco of the nurso broke lu on
her thoughts. Tho touo expressed
great idlef. Dolorus' lingers Instinct-
ively tightened around tho book sho
held.
'Your undo Is coming Dolores. I
knew lie would come. If Dora could
not como sho would sond for you. Sho
told mo so herself. I am tbnnkfiil he
Is horn."
A closed carriage tdopped at tho
gate; tho team ot powerful bays wero
covered lu rubber blankets; their
hoofs wero heavy with mud; tho body
of thu enrriago waa splashed tho
wheels dogged. When the door wns
opened u gentleman alighted a short

Mrs. Allen tapped lightly von tho
bedroom door and Chnrllo n-ul Dr.
Dunwlildlo enmo out at once. They
met tho new-comer at tho dour with
tv few hurried words. Young Greon
took his coat nnd hat nnd hung them
lu thu entry to drip.
Dolores lind not chnnged her jtosl-
Hun; sho still stood nt tho dresser
tho book closely clasped In her hands
ns though a friend. When her uncle
advanced toward her she eyed him
icnrclilngly.
Sho wns dlrnpistlnted InMilm; there
wns nothing remarkable about him:
ho was short and slout: she did not
like short stout men; his face was
llorld his hair red.
Placing hlr. two bauds on her shoul-
ders ho turned her toward the light
eyeing her keenly.
"And this Is Joe's girl " he said.
She disliked him at once; bur whin
brown eyes met his blue ones squnre-
ly but the eager light had died from
them they were cold nnd calm: he
could see no farther than the surface.
Her mouth too was straight nnd un-
yielding. To her his tone Implied

"And this Is Joe's girl!" ho repeat

No ono had ever yet told her a He

Tho words touched her strangely hut
she made no reply though her eyes

Ho turned away with a pleasant

Sho looked after blin with unfriend-
