CHAPTEB XIV.
TI1R KNOCKING,
Tlw nftomoon was drawinglo n olwg.
Jfiss Maxoy hud conveniently absented
herself. The artist was alone in the rear
ohambor with his pupil, Annette was
heated before an easel near the window
whll'i Maxoywas looking over her shou.
dor, apparently at the sketch. She was
uot working, Hor hnndi lay listlessly in
her lap. and her eyes were fixed on the
pray wiry above the river.
"Are yon studying the efTeet?" the
urtist queried, with a smile.
"No, Air. Mazey, waaliiteniug,"
"Listening? For what?"
"For tho wind. Have yon never no
ticed how quoerly it knocks at the win
dow frames sometimes? This is one of
the days. When I am working here
alone, I often notice it, and however
much 1 hear it it never fails to startle
lie."
"What, the rattle?"
"The pap. There is not so muoh snd
denness in the rattle. That is not it, for
when that happens you think of the
wind. It is tis If tho wind did it, but it
is not so today, it is not as if the wind
fi it at all. There is silence, and then
conies a sudden dull blow. At first I
thought somebody must be throwing
something against the pane, but I found
after a time that it was only a move
ment of the window frame. Isn't it curi
ous?" i
1 'Very. Yon notice these little things,
Annette. Do you know, I have worked
in this room alone for months, and for
my part I never noticed whether the
Windows rattled or were still. Thcrol
Was not that it?"
"I did not hear it then. I was listen
itifr to yon, Mr. Mazey. Listen again,
and it will Come, I wish I were not
foolish enough to be afraid of it. Hark!"
In the silence that ensued they could
hear each other breathing Perhaps it
was nervousness, but Mazey felt strange
ly excited. A low knooking not the
knocking thoy woro waiting for came
to their cars through the closed door.
"How very odd!" exclaimed Mazey.
"That was not the touch of a ghostly
zephyr, but the substantial rap of some
body tangible who wants to got in."
"It must beatimi iiwrson who would
knock so low."
"Probably it is. Borne beggar doubt
less. ImpccnnionsncsB is occasionally
timid. Don't disturb yourself, An
nette." Mazey Btepped into the vestibule and
opened tho outer deer. He regarded the
man who had summoned him th re with
a look of speechless surprise. It was
Mr. Dye. There wire the woebegone
beaver, tho .'hiny, threadbare out, the
faded blue eyes, the long hair falling
over the ears, the Smooth face with its
expression of hapless melancholy and all
that went to makeup the peculiar group
of mental impressions which Maxeyhad
learned since tho first meeting, now
WCeka ago, to associate with the name
Leander Dye.
"Yon!" was Mnzoy's only utterance.
"I, Birl" said tho somber voice. "Par
don me if I venture to intrude my un
seemly presence upon you tints abruptly
without having prepared yon previously
by time ly warning."
"Come in," said Maxoy.
Mr. Dye hesitated.
"Pardon me if I am constrained to
ask an impertinent question. Are yon
alone?"
"I am not alone in the house. No. "
"Put I dl sire to see only you, no one
rise. I have no wish to meet tho young
lady who once bore my name. It would
be painful for us both."
"You shall S00 mo alone, "said Mux
oy. "Como in."
The artist, ushered Mr. Dye into the
parlor and closed the door. Was It that
the gloomy presence of the melancholy
man communicated a depressing iii
uuouco? Moxoy certainly folt nn unrea
sonable dread a so rt of sinking at tho
heart, as tho door closed and ho stood
there alone with his visitor.
Mr. Dyn stood with his hat, in his
hand and avoided Maxey's eyes. Ho
Hover lifted his glance from the floor.
Tlii! artist, noticed that ho was more sal
low and pallid than when he had seen
him first; that there was a shakiness in
his whole frame, a palsied tremble in
his bauds. Ho began at once, and his
voice was like one speaking out of a
tomb:
"Sir, your ears tire exceedingly
good''
"Indeedl"
"Or yon would not, have beard my
knock, I knocked very sofily, as I have
knocked at yonr door so many times and
you did not hear. I hope d, and hoped in
vain, that yon would again lot me go
away unheeded as before."
"I don't comprehend yon, sir. Have
you been hero before?"
"Sir, I huvo been here many times
beforo, knocking at yonr door so softly
that you might have mistaken the sound
for the wind or the rattle of a rat, behind
tho woodwork. "
Matey recoiled.
"Are you insane?"
"No, no!" said Mr. Dye qniokly. "It
is not insanity. It is not even whim
sical. It is, on the contrary, strictly log
ical. Eh", you have heard it said that, a
man cannot servo two masters. I have
sometimes tried. That was my trouble.
One forced mo to oome and tell yen
something that I knowwonld bo unwel
come to you. What shall I call that one?
Oonsoienoe remorse? The other caused
mo to desire that yon should not receive
me, but allow mo to go away unheeded.
Shall I call that other sympathy and
regard for yourself or for somebody in
WQOm you are interested? Never mind;
it is not to the point now. Yonr ears
Were better than 1 thought they were,
and you did hear me. I am here. Sir,
why did you not take my advice and
have me arrested? lam a heartless, mis
erable wretch IV
Theatrical air or not, this last sen
tence carao out with a sincerity and a
force that Startled the artist. Tho trem

us if he were choking Mazey hastily
pushed a chair toward him.
"Sit down, sir. You are ill. "
"Sir, I am not ill. I deny it. I de
cline all courtesies. Do not offer me
any. If you do, you will regret it when
1 am done. I am to be spurned and spit
upon. That is my only use in society,
and I may mention parenthetically that
society found that out some time ago.
Don't forgot that, sir. I will not detain
you. I will not needlessly keep you
Standing hen'. I have come to tell yon
what I neglected to tell you before about
this child whom I brought up."
"Well!" ejaculated Ma xey nervously.
Mr. Dye cast an apprehensive glance
at the artist.
"Say you do not want to hear me, sir,
even now, and I will go away, and you
nor she shall ever see me again. Do yon
say it?"
Mr. Dye's tone was portentous and
beseeching, For an instant Mazey hesi
tated, but for an instant only.
"No, Mr. Dye, I do not say it, (ioon,
sir. Tell me the truth."
"Sit; yon have pronounced your ver
dict. For better or forWOTBe I shall
Ipeak now and ease my conscience of a
bad matter. I told you I did not know
this child's parentage. I told yon a
falsehood. I know both her parents. One
was a scapegrace son of a proud family;
tho other was a servant in his father's
house. Now you know the whole. I am
done."
The blood rushed to Maxey's head.
"The proofs! Where are the proofs?"
Mr. Dye again glanced at him appre
hensively and backed a step or two near- j
BT the door.
"Sir, there are no proofs."
"None?"
"Not, a scrap. It nil rests upon the
word of a worthless vagabond whom no
body would believe, who is in fact such
i villain and a liar that he can hardly
believe himself. If you wish to believe
that lie has lied, there is everything to
encourage yon iu that belief, nothing to
discourage yon. "
"And why have you come hero to
tell me this?"
"Did I not explain? I was forced to. "
"By whom?"
"Sir, not by whom by what. By
my conscience."
Matey raised his arm with a gesture
rf impatience. The somber man shrank
back as if he expected a blow. Ho cried
out apprehensively:
"Don't believe me! Don't believe
me!"
"Do you acknowledge it to be a lb'?"
"No, no. Not that, only don't be
lieve me."
"Sir. Dye," said Matey suddenly,
"will yon swear a solemn oath, here in
my presence, that yon have told mo the
truth?"
"Kir, I will not. No oaths. Not to
right. No oaths. I have said it, and I
will do no more. No, not if tho sword
falls, I will say no more. . That is all I
Came to say. I have said it. I w ill go
away again. "
"Go, then!" cried Maxey hotly. "Oo,
while you can with safety get out of my
reach, and if ever you show your face
in this house again, unless yon either
come to confess that, you have lied or
hold the proofs of what you have said
iu your hand, yon will regret it to the
last, day of -our miscrablo life Hold
on a bit! Not, quite so fast, my good
man. I have not done yet. If you ever
breathe a word of what yon havotold
me today to any living soul, and I hear
it." '
M.ixefy did not finish his sontt nee, but
he was all the more impn ssive, for he
looked unutterable (bines.
"Pardon me, sir, the caution is not
needed. It has cost me much to say it
to yon. I shall never repeat it. Rut I
must, I must warn you that I am not,
the only person who knows this to bo tho
truth. If I had been, I never should
have come. Sir, I thought it was better
that you should know the whole before
before yon took any rash Btepor steps,
than hear of it afterward, when It would
lie soinuch more painful to both hi ''and
yourself. You understand'mo no"
Mr. Dye suddenly turned, opened the
door which led into tho vestibule end
glided out. Matey sprang after hira, ex
claiming! "Stop, sir, stop! I do not I do not
understand yon!'"
Maxey reached the vestibule only a
Second or two behind los strange visitor
and would undoubtedly have dragged
him back over the outer threshold, but.
at the very moment when he put out his
hand to seize him he heard the rustle of
a woman's dress. He changed his inten
tion in the twinkling of an eve. In an
other instant Mr. Dye was free, the outer
door was closed, and Maxey, pale and
breathing heavily, stood upon the Inside
with his back against it, facing the as
tonished Annette, who was coming,
quite unconscious of any intrusion, into
the vestibule.
"Is anything the matter, Mr. Maxey?"
"Nothing nothing at all. It was a
men You startled me; that was all. "
"Who has lxrii hen-?"
"You do not know, then? Yon heard
nothing of w hat he said?"
"Vv'hy, how strange you look) How
could I?"
"I don't look strange," said Matey.
"It's the bad light I'm in. It was no
body you earo to know. Let us go back
to w ork again. There was something I
was going to say when I was Interrupt
ed." stents
Mr. Dyo was staggering down the
steps, clinging to the railing with one
hand, looking the personification of de
spair. He muttered as he walked and
crushed with his left hand a paper in
the pocket of his threadbare coat a pa
per on which a delicate feminine hand
had traced these words:
"Prove her ft waif then. If they mar
ry, I shall hold you personally respon
sible!" "Dc.ibtless the poor girl's last hope, "
thought the melancholy man, "and I
havo stamped the life out of it."
At that very instant, however, Julian
Maxey, the artist, was making of theso
words a hollow mockery, He had come
back into tho room with her and had
closed the door. That rapid palse that
Dr. Lamar had warned him was so like-

" Who has been hcrcf"
ly to get the better of his discretion was
at its height. He began to tell her im
pulsively, passionately, b-.f fe he fully
realised it. ,
She turned so white and speechless
that his heart, almost ceased beating.
Tho thought that he had at last, uttered
the irrevocable, fatal words came to
him too lato to proven tr tho utterance of
his hope and his longing, but not too
Kite to make the flow of his eloquence
tremble and die en his Hps. lie became
ns mute qh Ki,. and almost ns pale. For
a moment thoy stood olose together by
the window, in tho fading light from
tho western sky, looking into each oth
er's eyes with a mutual terror.
"I I have frightened you," stam
mered Matey.
An undeniable fact, but it was all the
artist could think to say at that mo
ment. Still he could not stand inactive. Ho
nought to take the dainty hand which
tiuudly shrank from the contact. Ho
grew more persistent whon he encoun
tered oppostion and concentrated all liiit
energies on the capturing of the trem
bling member. In another moment it
Was his. Then, with a sudden boldness
which astonished even himself, he drew
her close, close to him.
He felt her startled heart beating, ns
if it would bri nk, next to his. The nn
so n hand rapped upon the window, but
It had no longer any interest or any ter
ror for them.
"Oh, Mr. Maxey, lot me go!"
"No; wo must, undertand each other
first. Tell me that I am a fool or a cow
ard, and I will. "
She made him no reply. She strug
gled a little with her baby strength and
gave it, up. She was very quiet.
Put still the frightened heart bent
wildly close to his. She had not spoken.
Softly the artist, bent down to look
into hor averted face. There was neither
anger nor tears thereonly the paleness
and the terror.
The two hearts were throbbing now
in unison. It was getting dark.
"Annette," he whispered, "call men
coward!"
She answered him at last in a voice
that was so low and hushed that it hard5
ly sounded natural:
"I have no right to tell a lie, and I
have no right to mix my life with yours.
You are young, ambitious, rich, with a
future. I have not not even a name."
"No; I am not rich. Annette. You are
mistaken, nnd. depend upon it, your
name will be known some day, and it
will be as good as mine. Put what is
that to me? What if you really had r.o
name? I lovo you for yourself, Annette,
for what you are. Annette, would yon
place your happim ss against so flimsy a
matter as that if I were nameless and
yon loved me?"
"Suppose suppose someday the trnth
about nn should be known and it should
be degrading?"
"Annette!"
"Ah, yen have not thought of that 1 I
have. Oh, I havo thought of it often
when I awoke at night or when I even
dared to dream of such great happiness
as this"
Her voice died away to quite n whis
per. Put those low spokon words did
not escape Maxey's willing ear. They
thrilled through his whole licing as
nothing had ever done bt foro.
".Ah, then you have dreamed of this
happiness, Annette? Yon will not deny
it?"
She bung her head nnd became scar
let. She gaid not a word. Hor very si
lence was eloquent. Put tho delighted
artist would not. leave her modi ly this
refuge. He felt a wild, dcliciotls joy in
tin; knowledge that the radiaftt little
creature who hung upon hi; arm was
his, body and soul, and the knowledge,
the cert, limy, was not enough. He thirst
ed to h ar her say it. He persisted:
"Tell me, Annette, yon lovo me! Is
it, not 1 1 ?"
Tho head sank lower still, nnd she
did not n ply, but the dark hair moved
slightly. A scarcely perceptible little
nod in the affirmative was all that she
seemed willing to vouchsafe him.
All at once t he aroused herself nnd
sought once more to brook tho tender
bond.', that held her. Bhofoughi so hard,
she seemed sovt ry much in earnest, that.
Maxey, terror stricken for ti e result,
pel mi t ted her to go. When she was
free, she seemed about to leave him,
but at the very threshold of tho room
she checked herself with sudden im
pulse and faced him. It waa dusk, yet
Maxey. could see the dainty features,
Tiny told him plainly enough under
what a storm of emotion she was suffer
ing. It seemed as if she had intended to
speak, but feared to trust her voice.
There she stood lita n timid fawn, pant

Stretched out his arms in an imploring
gesture,
Sho uttered nery, ran toward him,
threw herse lf into his embrace aud broke
down completely.
"Oh," she sobbed,, "how I wish I
wcro strong as I ought to be, as I
thought I was! I had made up my mind
to tell you 'No. ' But, I cannot. Oh, I
cannot do it ! I should be bvave, and I
am a coward. For your Bake I should
be willing to break both our hearts, if
need be, rather than yon make a misal
liance with me."
"Not nameless, no," cried Maxey,
with unanswerable logic, "for I will
give yon mine. If yon had a name, what
else could you do but throw it away?"
He bent over. His lips met hers. It
was their first kiss. She threw her arms
about him with a sudden vehemence
that in some degree revealed to tho as
tonished artist how truly his sister had
spoken When sho told him that he dill
not, know the depth of that emotional
nature which he yearned to possess.
Sho cried out, hysterically:
"Oh, tell me over and over again, till'
I cannot fail to believe you, that when
the truth about me is known, whatever
it, be, yon will never, never regret this
stop yon are taking!" I
"Never!" answered Maxey, who had
rem bed a state of exaltation beyond any
thing he had ever experienced. "I swear
it!" i

It astonished M rxey to find that no
body was surprised.
There was littlo ccrenv.ny, no dis
play, It was a very quiet marriage in
the artist's rooms. Dr. Lamar gave away
tho bride.
Miss Matey was excited and cried a,
great, deal, mid tho physician was very
thoughtful.
In the world there wcro busy tongues
at, work
One woman, when she heard of this
marriage, dashed a costly (dock upon
the floor and made a wreck of it.
A poor wretch, quivering between a
jug of mm and a morning paper, saw
the notice on the printed page and ut
tered a howl of delight. After that out-'
burst he became for a long time still
and pale and looked upon the dull brown
surface of the jug with a gaze that was
fearful and apprehensive Then he be
gan to mutter to himself:
"Pah! What can it matter? What
difference does it make? She has no
memory. Sho never will havo a memory
of one dark hour of her life. I am safe,
still safe for another day of existence
and this."
He stroked the surface of tho jug and
shivered at his own thoughts. Happyfot
