It does not take tho two lane to Inform eaoh
other of their bitter hatred. When Sevranca
returns, fi-r the German's unpleisant de
parture, he tills Gordon of Von Holzborn a
character.
ClIArTlllt X (Continued).
I WAS unprepared for that, nnd, with the
memory of tho fellow's Insolence frosh In
my mind, I lost sonio of my scK-posscsslon.
Sovrnnco showed astonishment at tho vigor
of my remarks, nnd oven deprecated.
"Oh, 1 say, old chap, It's nit very well to
be angry with von Holzborn and to worlt
ngalnst him, ptid nil that hut, really "
To malto him comprehcird, 1 had to retail
what had juit passed between tho man nnd
myself. Sovranco listened In silence, trac
ing a llttlo pattern on the enrpet with tho
ferrule of hia stick; when he looked up It
Was with a set and angry expression.
"That makes It clear enough," ho com
mented thoughtfully. "The mnn shows him
Belt In his true colors, as an adventurer, a
chevalier d'lndustrlc, pure nnd simple or
not so pure and simple. This Nctzo busi
ness, now, I take It, Is nothing more thnn
a subterfuge to get Julia Into his powor
compromised I Tho devil !"
"That Is rlitht, ns fnr ns It goes," said I.
"But thcro'a more to It. In tho first plncc,
ho lies nbout Portsmouth, the yacht, and all
that!"
"Do you think so?" Sevrnnco looked In
credulous. "Oh, obviously. Ho did not bcllevo thnt
Julia had managed to communicate with us,
and ho thought to put us off tho track.
Their destination Is Saltncrcs. I havo no
doubt that Do Netzo Is with them, nnd that
It Is truo enough that he Is bolng stalkod
by Nihilists. U It Is so, Haltncrcs, from all
accounts, is tho very plare for him to lio
In safe hiding."
"Wild nnd desolate enough truo," said
Sovranco.
"Then It's there we'll find thorn. Plainly,
her ladyship suspcctB something, otherwlso
sho would not havo phoned. Sho desires
at least our Advice. And sho would not
havo misled u.. Sevrnnco "
"True," he agreed again. "They will be
at Snltacres."
"And so will wo," I Informed him. adding
tho tlmo of the up-traln the next morning.
"You'vo nctcd wlsoly," he told me. "Now
I'm for bed. Wo'll leavo details to Grady
he's thoroughly reliable. Shall wo take him
with us?" lie added, after a moment's think
ing. "If you wish."
"Ho's a go 3d man bravo, loyal, quick
witted." I had no objection to offer, nnd thinking
Sovrance's way wisest, I followed his ex
ample and went promptly to bed, considering
a good ntght'a rest of moro value to us
than anything clso Just at that stago of
tho proceedings.
At least It furnished mo a cjenr head and
a certain clarity of Judgment during tho
next day ; I found tlmo and thought It
ndvlsnblo to review tho whole affair from
start to that moment, during tho railway
Journoy, nnd, although I came upon nothing
new, I began to understand tho enso much
moro comprehensively than I had there
tofore. I had tune, I say, for the reason that
conversation between Sevranco and myself
was prevented throughout the greater part
of the Journey by the presence of another
passenger In our compartment.
Grady had taken a seat In a second or
third class carriage I never could quite
fix In my mind the proper degrees of desir
ability as to tho carriages of tho English
railway systems j I only know that tho
only comfortablo way Is to travel first class,
and even thnt Is by no means ns luxurious
as It Is at home.
This person, who mado n crowd of what
Sevranco and I had fondly hoped would be
"just company," waa a little, shriveled man,
apparently of an age verging upon tho
sixties. Re kept well muftled up, and
grumbled to himself throughout the entire
Journey.
Inasmuch as we had virtually nothing
else to look at, and could hit upon nothing
at all to talk about that we dared mention
In the presence of outsiders, I retained a
very vivid Impression of his odd appear
anceof his shaggy. Iron-gray brows above
a thin, hooked nnio; of his sunken mouth
with thin lips 'hat were never still ; of the
gaudy, cheerful comforter which he per
sisted In wearing tight-knotted about his
neck, with tho ends hanging down, shawl
like, upon his shoulders; of his bedraggled,
black spats; and, particularly, of his harjdM,
which were the hands of the very old thin
and delicately pink, and with a certain
glossiness of the skin, as If It were devoid
of natural moisture, stretched tight as any
drumhead over the bony knuckles.
Re had small, vivacious, prsternaturally
bright eyes, I remember, with which he
choso to Btaie at us by the ten-minute
stretch, quite unconscious or else careless of
his rudeness. And whenever we spoke to
gether, I remarked that his tremulous old
lips would cease moving, that he would un
consciously bend forward a bit.
Naturally, such conduct did not pre
possess mo In his favor. I catalogued him
as an inquisitive and boorish old man, and
prepared to dismiss him from my mind when
we changed cara at Lincoln, taking a
branch-line train which should convey us to
laltsea Regis.
Sevrance, however, was disposed to be as
considerate and courteous as most young
Britishers are to the aged. I recall that
with his own hands he helped the old gen
tleman out of the carriage, and that he
Instructed Grady to convey his luggage
according to his wishes.
It later appeared that tho ancient was
bound In the same direction as ourselves;
for when our train had drawn In, and we
were climbing Into an empty compartment,
I caught a glimpse of our former fellow
traveler negotiating an entrance to another
car farther down the train.
Re disappeared from view, and that was
the last that I saw of him for some time.
Our train bore us, in a leisurely fashion,
through a rolling and sunny countryside,
still and wrapt In the Immense peacefulness
that seems an Integral component of an
English Sunday afternoon; for It teas a Sun
day, by the way.
Sevranca said something presumably in
structive about downs, and I received .the
Information without any astonishment; it

That outlook was, for a tlmo, like oil

It soothed, calmed nnd quieted our unrest,

Incredulty, so Impossible did It seem that
aught out of the common could happen In
a land so staid and respectable.

FARMER SMITH'S
"AND IT NEVER, NEVER STOPS"
Dearest Children Do you ever get tired? Tired of keeping up?
Look at the sun. It shines and keeps on shining and it never, never stops.
Do you ever wonder if you may be allowed to rest? Rest from doing your
duty? Look at the twinkling stars dotting the sky nt night and the silvery
moon sailing along through the clouds-it never never stops.
"The sooner you get at it tho sooner it will bo finished," we often hear.
The hardest part of most tasks is GETTING STARTED-getting at them.
Suppose that tree over yonder should get tired of growing; suppose the
rrass should say to tho sidewalk: "I'm tired. I'm going to quit. What's the
US' Mother Nature's babies never grow tired. They go on and on, each day
doing their part,
KEEP GOING!
The JOY OF WORK is the JOY OF SERVICE.
Last of all, think of the grand old ocean; it never, never stops.
It always KEEPS GOING. FARMER SMITH,

JIMMY MONKEY AND THE FLY
By Farmer Smith
Jimmy Monkey had taken a nap and a
little fly had waked him up.
"Dear little Fly," said Jimmy, "why are
vou so cruel to wake me up? I will blow
you off the earth, little Fly." and with that
Jimmy got up and stood In front of the
looking-glass.
The little Fly came and stood on the
end of Jimmy's nose. Jimmy leaned over
and blew In the mirror.
'Pray, little Fly, why do you not get
off the earthr
Then he blew softly on the mirror and
tiin the little Fly sat on hi3 nose.
Bt Then Jimmy leaned oyer and hit the-looking-glass
where he saw the ny and still
the tittle tiling Bat on his nose.
"I hate to threaten any one I hate to
threaten you, but if you do not get off ray
nose I am going to hit you with a pillow.
"It would grievo mo very much to have
to do that, but you know I want my nose
without you on it "
Jimmy walked alowly toward the uea
and got a pillow, which he raised aa U w

He returned to the mirror and .

"I don't ngreo with you," ho snapped
obviously.
"What do you supposo Induced nny ono

to know.
He understood thnt I was aiming nt tho
deceased Sir Henry Herbert.
"Family estate." ho explained tersely.
"I supposo the old duffer was born and
brought up In this atmosphere, and came
to call It 'homo.' Of ono thing I'm certain:
our Julia never could enduro It. As n
matter of fact, I don't bellevo they spent
moro than n month or two out of tho year

"You know the place?"

more quickly and comfortably."
"It would bo an advantage" I ngrccd;
"I'm heartily sorry that wo haven't it now.

said Sevrnnco. "He'll hnvo one around be

miles we could walk It," ho added, bright
ening. Sovranco was looking nt mo with charac
teristic eagerness; I presume ho expected
mo to snap him up on tho Instant. But I
said "No, I thank you" to decidedly that
ho understood I wns fixed In my preference
for driving, nnd gavo In.
"Suit yourself," ho growled sulkily.
"I'm going to," I responded with prompt
cheorfulncss.
Ho turned to tho wlndowB, exhibiting n
pair of misunderstood nnd abused shoulders,
and obstinately refused to respond to ray
timid advances until Grady answered a
rnp at tho door and announced tho waiting

A Rainbow Poem

And making them wear a smile,
We prove our lives worth living
And our "Rainbow" worth the while.

the shafts and we moved off,
After n few hundred yards I turned In
my scat ami looked back, Saltsca Regis
had vanished Infolded by tho hills wherein
it drowsed out Its placid existence.
We had rounded a shoulder of the downs
nnd were descending a gentle slope. Before
us lay n vast nnd desolate expnnss of
downs, bathed In the ruddy light of the
setting sun, sinister to view, oppressing the
Imagination Btrangely with Its effect of in
finite, grim dlstnnccs; a savage and Im
placablo wilderness. ,
I scttted back In my sent, snuggling be
neath tho lap robes with a little shiver.
Presently wo had reached the lowel levri
nnd could see no more than n hundreii
yards or so of the winding road before u3.
Kvcn tho sea. Its nearness made manifest
by the sulten growling that filled the! ar,
lay Invisible for tho greater part of the
way. Only once or twice wo came out, upon
n hilltop or drove near the edge of a low
clmlk cliff overlooking the waters; and once.
If I remember distinctly, tho road debouched ,
upon the verge of a long, low and sandy
beach, where our wheels sank deep In the
yielding minis, following an Ill-defined way
between wldo reaches of shuddering coarse
grasses.
for n couple of hours we traveled on,
meeting no one. Night succeeded a linger
ing twilight, adding tp tho desolation thdt
surrounded us Sovranco stopped our beast,
got down nnd lit the lamps, remarking that
It seemed moro cheerful.
He may havo so regarded It; for my part
It but accentuntcd my sensation of lone
liness. 1 conceived n hatred, then and there, for
Kngllsh downs; a hatred which will stay
with mo to my dying day, I fancy.
After a while, however. It peemed that
we wero driving somewhat Inland, Into a
moro friendly region. We passed Infrequent
farmhouses, their position evidenced by
glowing windows. Above us the winter stars
seemed to Increase their cold brilliancy, so
that the general configuration of the coun
tryside became more cuslly discernible.
Sevranco flnnlly broke n wearisome
silence.
"Wo should be near Saltncres," he said.
"If I remember tho lay of tho land, wo will
como upon the park before many minutes."
"The park I" I ejaculated. "A par)t In
this godforsaken locality I"
"It's not so beastly over there," ho ex
plained ; "It's higher, better' ground. Salt
acros Itself Is n vast game preserve moro
thnn anything else a protected pnrlc, lying
between tho road nntl tho sea, with the
houso In tho very middle of It. Sir Henry
has his prlvato yacht landing on' -the sea
edge of the grounds."
"But how will you know It?"
"Oh." he returned confidently, "tho house
stands near enough tho road for tho llghtr
to be visible through the trees especially
nt this Bcason of tho year, when thoro is
llttlo or no follngo." ,
"But supposing there nre no lights sup
posing they nro not .thero?"
"Thcy'ro there." no was sure.
"But If they haven't arrived"
"Now, bo sensible, Gordon!" His tone
was impatient. "Whoro clso would they be?
What would they bo doing all this time?
Wo nro virtually positive they left Lon
don yesterday, and they cannot but have
arrived before us."
"But If they didn't come " '
"They did. Her ladyship snld they
would."
That was unanswerable. I could only
Justify myself feebly by reference to "the
statement of tho landlord of tho Rainbow.
"Ho Bald that no automobllo had been
seen for weeks "
"Nnturally they would come by a roun
nbout way, to escape observation. There's
n road across tho downs from somewhere
near Lincoln, for ono; or they might have
driven up to Grlmsby-AU-Salnta, In the
north, and doubled back here."
It seemed more hopeful, in tho light of
that explanation. I began to feel moro as
sured of finding Heart's Desire at this Jour
ney's end. Indeed, I was afiro vyith eager
ness and Impatience when Sevrance flnajly
drew rein.
"Tho gates nro closed," ho announced,
"but bore's tho lodge at any rate. Jump out
there's a light In tho window on tho other
Bide."
I leaned forward, peering Into the dense
dnrkness of tho roadside. At the first I saw
nothing at all, but gradually, by dint of
Btrnlnlng my eyes, I mado out the high aroh
of an old Iron gateway, nnd. blacker against
tho general darkness, a blurred smudge
that might stand for n small lodge building.
Therefore I obeyed Sevrance and Jumped
out. He followed mo, leading tho fly and
the thing that had drawn It to n hitching
post, which. I concluded, he found by In
stinct. But possibly his eyesight was more keen
than mine, for when I protested that I saw
nothing In any way ' resembling a light,
asserting that there was no such thing
thero, ho contradicted me flatly.
"On the farther side of the lodge," he
Indicated. I stepped to one side, and waa
forced to admit that ho was rlghtyf A faint,
yellow radiance did percolate through one
window, falling athwart a stretch of dead
grass, nnd, finally, Upon a low shrub that
grew nearby.
