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." lie pulled a box of clgers out of a drawer of his wrtlng-table, and passed No Secret About It.

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 previously remarked, a game. There is no other to compare with It.

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. CHAl'TICU JII. Chuso Scores Several Points and Carroll one. "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 beats inc." "It's been under the couch for six months." said Lynde, calmly.

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. l!ut I waited too long. There was no 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, She tiiuspcd Mrs. .Mason's Arm. and, If I'm n Judge of men, he won't 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 cent Bench." 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.

'', '-, Mild fcTHAfiMB ini wuhan tiiaco tmnn MCCMUHk 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." (To Be Continued.)
