Most New Enirlnnders are content If
they can flml the root of their family
tree In the soil iihout Plymouth Hock.
They can himlly lay claim to genuine
Aini'tii'imisin, however, In the presence
of Mr. David Chuse, who truces his de
scent to the Penobscot Indians, lie hus
proofs that his ancestors were great
chiefs, ami. In the ahseenee of any evi
dence to the contrary. It Is hard to dis
pute his assertion.
Mr. Chaso somewhat resembles nn In
dian, though the rough lines of that
type have bet-n softened by the lapse of
centuries ami the udmlxture of the in
vader's blood. He has a dark und pow
erful countenance, with remarkably
keen eyes. His hair Is straight, and
black us ebony. In person he Is soiue
uhat above the medium height; his
Blender frame is notably erect, and he
lias the grace and strength of a savage,
liis voice Is low, soft and very pleasing
to the tar. He is a bachelor, and lives
In the Kensington, on Columbia Heights,
liiooklyn. He Is In society, and Is there
fore acquainted with the l.yndes, who
are Krooklyn people.
Nearly two months after the date of
the occurence described In the pre
vious chapter, Mr. Chase who by his
general scheme of existence should
have been at Newport long before
was standing with his back against the
mantel in his p.u-lor, addressing a young
man who had culled upon him. The
Visitor was Walter Carroll, who may be
remembered us the organizer of tennis
tournaments, already mentioned.
"This is very extraordinary. Mr. Car
roll," he said. "1 have been called to ac
count for similar offenses many times,
I am happy to say, but never by a per
son situated as you are."
Carroll was 'evidently abashed by
Cl::;s-'s manner, and not a little, too,
by the nature of the business In hand.
"Of course 1 know it's very absurd."
he said. "I haven't any right to rep
resent Dr. Lynde, and I hardly know
enough to venture to address you In a
matter of tills kind. V.ut, hang It,, you
know, a fellow's got to have some kind
of principle; and I've tied up to the
good, old fashioned golden rule. I'd
want somebody to do this for me, and
that's why I'm doing It for you."
"So it's on my account. Is it'.'"
"Well, partly. I'm inclined to like
you, confound it. and I hate to sae you
doing something that isn't right: isn't
even gentlemanly or drseent, if you
come to that. (Siv.it Scott, man. It's too
low down: There Isn't anybody but a
cursed cad who would take advantage
of a fellow In Lynde's position. Yet
It's a fact and I'm bound to say it. that
your name is coupled with Mrs. Lynde's
more often than you've any Idea of. I
hear at the club heard It half a dozen
times to-night and I can't stand It.
Ynt know I was very good friends with
her used to go to school with her, and
all that sort of thing. Of course that
dorwn't give me any special right to do
this, but. by Jove, my right Is aa good
r.s anybody's. There Isn't a man left
In either family, except her brother,
and he's In Australia."
Chase regarded him for ten seconds
With a peculiar smile.
"My dear fellow," he said, at last,
"do you wish me to tell you the truth
about this?"
"Why, of course! what the dickens
else should you do?"
"I might get angry," responded Chase
pently, "or I might lie. Probably that
would be the wise thing to do. But,
contrary to my custom, I am disposed
to tell the truth on one condition.
You are to give me your word of honor
Hot to repeat what I say."
"Repeat:" Carroll paused In amaze
ment with his mouth wide open. "Why,
man alive," he continued, "isn't It had
tnough that we should stand here dis
cussing a woman's reputation without
going around talking about it after
wards?" "I have your word of honor, then?"
' "Well, I should say so."
"liemtmber, you are at liberty to act
upon the Information In any way you
please, so long as you do not tell that
you and I have spoken of this matter.
If that Information can help Amy
I.ynde. why that Is all In the game.
It's In the nature of odds. You may
also profit personally by what I say,
and that's partly why I say It. You
Were good enough to announce that you
Jiked me. Well. I'm Interested In you,
Jind I have nn-ld'-a that you are miss
Ing the best part of life."
Carroll shook his head slowiy.
"I don't know Just what you ant driv
ing at," he said.
"You will know Immediately," re
joined Chase. "Let me say, to begin
with, that your suspicions regarding me
are entirely Just. I am at present en
gaged In a most Interesting game, rny
favorite game, the only game that Is
really worth while the pursuit of a
pretty woman. "Amy Lynde"
"Look here. Chase," cried Carroll,
getting upon his fct with a suddenness
that upset his chair, "I'm a greut deal
of a brute myself, but I draw the line
somewhere; and you'll have to, while
I'm present.'
Chane courteously waved his hand.
"As you please," he said. "We will,
If you, prefer, confine our conversation
to general philosophical principles,
"With most respectful consideration we
will now dismiss Mrs, Lynde from our
thoughts."

drawer of his wrtlng-table, and passed

It to Carroll, who declined. Then Chase
selected a clgur ror nimseir; nueu a
hulf-lilled bottle of chainpugne from
the iloor, where It had previously been
unnoticed by his visitor, and poured out
a glass for himself, after Carroll hud
refused the vintuge by a shake of the
head. While this was being done.Curroll
noticed for the Hist time that his host
wus In the earlier stagesof Intoxication.
As to women," Chase continued,
sipping the wine, "they ure the natural
objects of men's pursuit. It seems
strange to announce so palpable a fact
seriously, but 1 verily believe that you
have not hitherto considered the sub
ject In that light."
You're right," said Curruoll, "I have
not."
Most men so consider them," re-
Joined Chase. " und most women prefer
to be so considered. It Is, us 1 have

no other to compare with It. A clever

greatest respect 'for women. I drink to

Carroll back "in the abstract. I
drink to women in general. It Is In
that way thut the sex should be regurd-
ed by philosophers. Of course we are
obliged to deal with Individuals, when
It's a question of putting our principles
into practice. The game Is fought sin
gle-handed. It is a beautiful thing to
see a woman play It, when she knows
that she herself is the stake."
'And what, may I ask, is your stake
when you play?"
The bitterness of failure," responded
Chase.
'You don't ask very much In the way
of odds," said Carroll. "Hold on! I
don't care to hear you expound your
philosophy further. I have met plenty
of rascals before, and the worst of them
were members of your peculiar sect.
But I confess that you have surprised
me. I came here believing you to be a
gentleman misled by Impulse. Now I
know the contrary to be the fact and I
might as well face It. You have con
fessed to me that you are trying to win
Mrs. Lynde's love, knowing that her
husand Is a defenseless cripple who
needs her presence and her affection
every hour. Now, while In one sense,
she Is as safe from you, ecause of her
own purity of heart, as If she were al
ready In heaven and you on the other
side of the great gulf, I am willing to
admit that there Is an element of peril
In the situation. She likes you; most
women do. She can be betrayed Into
many Innocent Indiscretions. You are
shrewd, and Infamously experienced.
Now what can I do about it? I can
break my promise and repeat to her
what you have said. Gut I won't do
that, and you know It."
I was in hopes you would, my dear
fellow," said Chase, quickly. "It would
show her that you love her, and that
would give me a rival, which Is always
an advantage. Besides she wouldn't
believe you."
"I've given you my word, and there's
an end of it," replied Carroll, gloomily.
"There's nothing I can do but keep an
eye on you. I know the world too
well already to open my mouth and
start a scandal. You must go your
own up to a certain point. But, David
Chase, If you pass the line which I
shall mark out for you there'll be a
take In the gume on your sldp that
you huven t counted yet, and you !l
lose It."
'You refer to my life," said Chnse.
filling his glass again. "I've played
for it before and shall be delighted to
do It ngaln. Don't fancy that 1 under
rate the risk. A man in your position
Is worse than forty husbands. Hut
why not play fairly against me and let
the woman be the stake? Of course I
have a considerable advantage. For
Instance I've been over there this even
ing, and I don't mind tellnlg you."
lie sprang up a little unsteadily.
Carroll checked himself and let his
hands slowly open, while he took note
of the other's condition. Then he
seized his hat from the table and hur
ried out of the room. Chuse sunk buck
into his chair and laughed.
Turn the hands of the clock back an
hour and you may see Amy Lynde
standing at the foot of the stairs which
led up to her husband's apartments.
Since the early days of his Illness he
had wisely separated himself from her
by night, that his sleep might be undis
turbed. He had slept little and hud
often read till dawn.
She thought, as she stood there, that
he would be reading on his couch with
the gigantic negro, who was his body
servant, as his sole companion. She
had made up her mind to do a very
foolish thing to keep her promise.
There was a conlllct In her mind as she
stood at the foot of the stairs, with her
white hands clasped about the banis
ter rail. She had tnkven the freedom
he had offered her, without In the least
meunlng to do so. lie had seemed
quite contented, and, for her own part,
she could not deny that active life and
the renewal of associations broken a
year before' had been delightful.
Then she had begun to feel Chase's
black eyes upon her. She had known
him for several years, but he had never
had any part In her life. It seemed
strunge to her that she could have
overlooked so remarkable a man. His
tremendous energy appealed to her ad
miration. Profoundly respectful, tfnd
serving her as a student of women can
learn to do, ho made himself desirable.
And at last he made himself desired.
She did not love him; of that she
was perfectly certain. Yet he came
within her husband's definition when
he hnd that promise. She thought of
him much oftener than she dared to
confess to her own heart. Ho was a
strong man, and she had nursed a weak
one, and had felt that dangerous senti
ment of pity, That evening she had
been much more disturbed than ever
before, and she had remembered her
promise. ' ' ' :
She went slowly up the stairs and
softly oppronched the half-open door.
She peeped In. Ho lay upon the couch
perfectly still. Ills left arm hung
straight down by his side and the fin
gers clasped the handle of a pistol.
As she stood there, utterly Incapable
of speech or motion, she heard a cry,
and instantly the servant appeared,
rushing toward the couch. He (lung
himself down beside It, seizing the pis
tol with both hands us he fell.

"Frightened you, eh?" said Lynde, ns
the negro regained his feet, panting
with excitement. "What did you think
I was going to do?"
"'Deed, sail," replied the trcmbllluc
fellow, "I wus 'frald yo1 might hurt
yo'seir with that pistol. Whur yo" got

"It's been under the couch for six
months." said Lynde, calmly.

curred to me that 1 might need It.
Don't look so frightened. Andrew.
There wasn't any danger. If I'd been
disposed to hurt myself with It I
couldn't have done so. 1 was only try
ing to shift the thing from tin- left to
the right side of the couch because my
left arm Is getting weaker all the time.

need of any hurry on your part, 1 had
Just strength enough to hold the pistol.
1 couldn't have lilted It to my head If
1 wished to without the aid id' a derrick,
lly Jove! what a picture of utter help
lessness 1 was at that moment!"
Amy, who had been leaning, almost
fainting, against the casing of the dour,
recovered herself sulllclcntly to stagger
Into the room. When Lynde saw her
u great change swept over his face.
"Did you see all this, Amy?" he asked,
gently.
She sank down beside him, weeping
like u frightened child. He soothed
her, laying the hand that still obeyed,
hi in upon her golden hair.
"I must bo a particularly melancholy
rascal." he said, "that you and this
great fellow should Jump at once to the
conclusion that I was going to end It."
He motioned to the negro to leave
the room, and then continued:
"It's useless, little one, for me to
palter with the palpable facts. I'd bet
ter tell you the exact truth about all
this. And here it Is: Life hus been
cruel to me, ami, for myself, I can ex
pect nothing of tills world. Hut ns long
us you are In It, I want to stay. Tills
room is tii prison, but If It were a dun
geon, and I were racked with every tor
ment, I would still wish to live if you
lived too. While there's room enough
for both of us I'll take what comes.
I'm useless, certainly, but that I can
endure. It's only when I become worse
than useless to you that I shall wish to
go. I'll know when that time comes;
you've promised me that I shall. Let's
not think about that. Doubtless I shall
wear out first. I'm deadly sorry that
this foolishness of mine frightened you
so, but nbw you know the truth, and
you won't be frightened any more. Af
flicted In this dreadful way, I'm happier
at this moment with you beside me
than I was in the idd days of youth and
health before you had given me your
love."
She begged to be permitted to resume
her former life, devoting herself en
tirely to him. If David Chase could
have heard her plead for thut sad prlv
ilegeq; he might have felt like giving up
the game, for he was a good Judge of
sincerity.
Arthur Lynde would not listen to his
wife's request.
"On the contrary," he said, "I've
made up my mind to send you away
from the city altogether. Brooklyn Is
not my ideal of a summer resort. If I j
had been able to put a foot upon the
ground we would have been away long
ago; but never will I be carried about
the country on a shutter. His own
house Is the place for a man like me, I'd
have sent you away, but you seemed to
be having a good time until recently.
Now you must go. You know I'm to
have that soulless German scientist In
the house ofter tomorrow, and he'll
probably want to experiment with me
twenty-four hours a day. He can't cure
me, but he can have lots of fun with me,

let any of It escape him. The summer
Isn't over yet, and the hent of the city
Is telling upon you. I'm going to send
you to Join MtB. Mason's party ut dies

Although she outwardly resisted Ihls
suggestion. Amy Inwardly welcomed It.
Perhaps It would be the easiest wuy of
separating herself from Chase. She
would slay only a little while, she told
herself, find would then return to her
duty. The details were arranged with

after the suggestion had been made she
departed for Crescent Beach.
She wus warmly welcomed by Mrs.
Mason and many other friends, among
whom was W'ulter Carroll, who had ar
rived the day before. This young man
had learned of her Intended journey,
and hud communed with himself very
seriously.
"It would be highly Improper," he
had said to himself, "for me to fol
low Mrs. Lynde. Chase might do It,
but I will not. And the only way to
avoid doing It Is to get to Crescent
Bench first und wait for her."
Curroll hud secretly appointed him
self the guardian of Mrs. Lynde. He
hud loved her when they were boy and
girl together at school, and hud never
gotten over It. Her marriage had hurt
him worse than all the other Ills of his
life combined. And second to thut wus
the spectacle of Chase's Influence over
her. Hut for his complete confidence
In her, tin- second would have been
worse than the Ilrst.
What Is a man to do In such a case as
that? To see u good woman dazzled by
"I got the fascinations of a thorough seoun
I abso- drel Is one of the commonest spectacles
of this miirlul life, but a method of pro
cedure which will be effective- und
steer clear of scandals Is most dltllcult
to Ira mi'. Curroll wus young, und natur
ally dellclent In strategy. The only
scheme he could de-vise, ufter cogitation
so fervent as to be akin to player, was
to tnuke his society so agreeable to Mrs.
Lynde that she would not care for
Chase's. This design would bcur the
severest test of reason, "lie urgued
somewhat thus: "A good woman nat
urally prefers u good man; I am a much
better man thDin Chuse blast him!
Therefore Mrs. Lynde will prefer me
to him, If I give her a fair chance."
Like many another syllogism, this
one wus all sound but the mujor prem
ise. He passed over that very lightly
und proceeded at once to the conclu
sion. He had tried diligently to give
Mrs. Lynde a chance. Meanwhile he
struggled manfully with his character
In order to tnuke the difference be
tween himself and Chase more conspic
uous. He studied high Ideals and
talked about them feelingly In her pres
ence. Yet it grieved him to suspect
(und he was right about it) that hlB
chief hold on her regard was in her ad
miration for him us a tennis player.
Carroll cherished the hope that Chase
would not follow Mrs. Lynde to Cres-
rcent Beach. He know that Chase s In
terests bound him tightly to Wall
street Just at that time. As for him
self, he had $100 in a bank an the rem
nant of a little legacy that had sullieed
for his needs at college, and he should
haw been earning his living, but he
solemnly devoted the $400 to the good
cause, and faced the price of board at
Crescent Beach without a murmur.
If he had been sure that Chase would
stay away, he would have been con
tent to do so: but there was a doubt In
his mind. And it wus well founded,
for on the second day Chase appeared.
Mrs. Lynde chanced to be passing
through the hull of the hotel where
Mrs. Mason's party was domiciled, at
the moment when Chase Inscribed his
name In the register, und at the sight
of him she grasped Mrs. Mason's arm In
a manner which betrayed to that ex
perienced matron the exact state of af
fairs. To Chase, looking out of the corner
of his eye, the gesture was a welcome
sign. He came forward to greet the
ladles with as plausible a lie upon his
Hps as ever the recording angel charged
against a sinner. The rascal at that
moment felt triumphant, and nothing1
was ever more becoming to him. Mrs.
Lynde was forced to contrast him fa
vorably with the other men at Cres
cent Beach. He was so deferential,
yet so masterful. He always knew
Just what to say and do. There was
absolutely nothing In his manner or his
speech or his attire that could offend
Htf haJ Btuded her tastes to such a
nicety that of two synonymous words
ii. the language he always used the one
which she liked best. It was a point in
the rame, and he played with a mas
ter's attention to detail.
From that time on the condition of
Walter Carroll must have been a sub
ject of pity among the angels. He con
tinually made mistakes ana cnase
made none. His plans failed and
Chase s always succeeded. His mo
tives were misconstrued, and so were
Chase's -to the advantage of the latter
and the undoing of the former. Mrs.
Lvnde began to believe that he was
pursuing her; and as he was such a
boy being not more than a year older
than herself she took him frankly to
tuok about It. She told him that his
conduct was foolish, not to Bay dis
honorable, and took occasion to men
tion the fact that Dr. Lynde had been
a good friend to the youth. Then,
while Carroll went away to meditate
upon suicide, Mrs. Lynde took a. stroll
with Chuse on the long pier, and with
undisguised admiration heard him ex
pound the well-worn theory of Platonic
friendship. Ah, Chase was a noble
soul, until one knew him.
This wus only an Incident. There
were many others. The bicycle Is a
great Invention. Forty people may go
out riding together with the greatest
decorum, nnd never get Into each
other's way ufter the Ilrst half mile.
Society cycled at the beach that sum
mer. Chase's wheel ulways slipped an
adjustment precisely at the right time,
and nobody was ever near to help him
but Mrs. Lynde. Many a chat they had
under a tree by the rondslde, waiting
for a chapcrone to climb a long hill.
The situation was becoming desper
ate. It wus beginning to ulurm Mrs.
Mason, who had been to Narrngansett
l'ler In the old days, and couldn't be
easily frightened. There Is more hyp
notism In the world than most people
know of; and Mrs. Lynde was under
an Influence which she did not under
stand. Chuse wus deliberately com
promising her, and Bhe could sep It,
As for him, he had never played his
favorite gume so desperately. He
knew that the odds were against him,
nnd he was prepared to be euslly satis
fled. He would have accounted It a
victory. If he could have made this wo
man sny she loved him, even If she had
tied from him that instant, and he had
never seen her fuce again.
And n time cume when he felt fairly
sure of It. She had nlrendy permitted
him to speak to her In a way thut she
dared not remember when Bhe wus
alone. He found It, however. Increas
ingly dllllcult to be alone with her. Mr.
Mason on the one hand and Carroll on
the other were exceedingly annoying.
Of course he played the old gume of ex
citing her resentment agulnst them
because of their unjust suspicions; and
It wns so successful that t last he per
suaded her to consent to a really secret
Interview.
There was a hop at the hotel that
evening. It wns an especially swell
hop, and everybody was sure to be
there. For thut reason nobody was
likely to he down on the lung pier,
which was on ordinary nights a favor
He resort. That wus why Chase was
there at eleven o'clock when the ball
wus at Its height.
There were some low buildings on
the end of the pier which obscured his
view landward, but they would also,
later on, obscure anybody's view seu
ward. Chase paced back and forth Im
patiently. There was a little boat
made fast at the pier head, and there
was a steam yacht anchored In the
otting which had nobody aboard but
the crew, and would not be required by
the owner a friend of Chase's during
the evening. It irf an interesting thing
to view a handsome yacht by moon
light, and quite worth the risk of a row
boat. Chase heard a light, quick step. He
turned suddenly, and confronted Car
roll who was notably light of foot for a
man weighing a hundred and ninety.
"Look here, by the eternul heavens,"
cried Carroll In a guarded tone, "you're
going to meet Mrs. Lynde hero and I
Won't have It. You've crossed the line.
Now get out. (let awuy from here,
quick, or something will happen to
you."
He stood for a moment on the end of
the pier and glanced down at the little
rowbout which was tugging at her
painter In u three-knot tide. Chuse,
meanwhile, wus silent, regarding the
young limn earnestly. Curroll had the
faculty for looking twice as big when
he wus uugry us at other times, und he
wus quite big enough ut any time.
Chuse did not like the look of him. He
turned uway with affected contempt.
Waiting for a Chupcrone.
"You're a fool," he said. "And as to
Mrs. Lynde, you're absurdly mistaken.
You Insult her. But I don't propose to
stand here quarreling with you, and If
you want the entire pier to yourself you
can have It." '
"Not that way!" cried Curroll, heud
Ing him off at the corner of the pavilion.
"You're too lute. She's coming."
He advanced upon Chase who, seri
ously alarmed, retreated before him.
"Can you swim?" exclaimed Carroll,
between his teeth. "Answer me! But
never mind. I remember to have seen
you. Well, that settles your fute!"
Without another word, he seized
Chuse In his powerful hands, lifted him
high In the ulr, and hurled him from
the pier. 'For a moment Carroll stood
panting on the edge. Then he saw
Chase come to the surface and strike
out tor the shore. He could not swim
back to the pier against the tide even If
he had dared to do It. And he would
not cry out; he was not the man to
confess defeat In the presence of a
woman. But there wus murder In his
heart as the tide swept him uway.
A minute later Mrs. Lynde came hur
riedly upon the pier. Carroll had with
drawn Into the shadows, and for an In
stant she mistook him. Then she saw
who It, was.
"Yes; I know," he Bald. "You ex
pected somebody else. He was here a
little while ago, but he couldn't wait.
He's gone up along the shore."
