WOMEN'S I
A GIRL AND
A New and Vital Romance of City Life
by Virginia Terhune Van 'Ve Water
CHAPTER XXXIX.
Several days had passed, and Has
brook Bainbridge had not again re
ferred to the affair of the roses. He
P'las been uniformly kind and consider
ate, but had said nothing beyond ask
ing each morning how Miss Morley
was getting on.
At the end of the second day Ran
dolph Pickens called upon Agnes.
This time he brought no flowers,
but still wore the gorgeous attire in
which ho had appeared on his former
visit. As the girl looked at him, and
saw his desire to behave as if he were
not thinking of his last conversation
with her, she felt for him a compas
sion that was almost maternal.
She was glad that Jennie O'Neill
had removed Bainbridge's roses from
the sitting room this morning. The
petals had begun to fall, and the Irish
girl had used the right of private judg
ment and had thrown the flowers out.
They might have reminded Randolph
Pickens of those other roses and of his
own sweetpeas.
The night was warm, and Agnes and
her caller sat by the front window.
Behind them the gas jet was turned
low to lessen the heat that came from
it. Outside the electric lights glowed
whitely.
As the man's first embarrassment
wore off he talked with fewer stilted
phrases than usual. Agnes' manner
may have reflected her kindly feeling
toward him, and unconsciously, she
may have made him feel more at ease
than usual. Or it may have been that
now that he realized that she could be
only a friend to him, he had none of
the palpitations, self-consciousness
and longing of the lover who la un
certain how he stands in the estima
tion of the object of his regard.
A Secret Out
Whatever the cause, by the end of
an hour Agnes found herself chatting
of matters of general interest. This
man was no fool. He had read much
and thought deeply. How unfortun
ate, she reflected, that to the casual ac
quaintance he would never show his
best side.
"You have read a surprising
amount, Mr. Pickens," she said at last.
"How did you ever take time to do
it?"
"It Is almost my only recreation,"
he informed her. "Forgive me if I
descend to personalities to the extent
of telling you that I was deprived of
the advantage of a college education
through no lack of desire on my part
to embrace them, but because my
father's financial status made it quite
impossible for mo to gratify my as
pirations along that line."
"I see," rejoined Agnes. "That was
too bad!"
"Perhaps so," he agreed. "But
sometimes one sees one's duty so
plainly that one cannot evade it. And
when my father passed away, I knew
I had been Eight to renounce all ambi
tions but the one of caring for my
mother."
"How long ago was that?" Agnes
guestioned.

"Seven years ago," he told her. "It
was a hard struggle for a while, but
now I have enough to keep me com
fortable and to enable me to discharge
other obligations that devolve upon
me."
"Is your mother living?" Agnes put
the query unthinkingly.
Pickens hesitated a moment. "Tee,"
he said, "she is living—down In my
home State."
"I should think you would want her
up North with you," Agnes observed.
"Why not Bend for her? Then you
would not be so lonely. You and she
could have a nice little home here in
New York together."
In the white light from the street
lamp she saw the pale face stiffen. The
voice that replied was low, but every
word was distinct.
"My mother is in the insane asy
lum," Pickens said slowly. "She will
never get over it. The shock of my
father's death brought back the old
trouble. The case is hopeless—for it
is hereditary. Her mother died in
sane."
"Oh —you poor fellow!" The words
escaped the girl involuntarily, and she
leaned towards the lonely man, her
face all sympathy. "Forgive me for
asking about her—please!"
He Tells Her
"I am glad you asked me," he said
gently, "for I want you to know how
very right you were in answering me
as you did the night that —the last
night I called. It was wicked and
wrong to ask you to marry me. I have
no business to marry any woman, ever.
The taint is in my blood—but I tried
to forget It when my position became
such that I could support a wife—and
I cared so much for you that it made
me wickedly selfish.
"I promised not to speak to you of
the matter again—but I just wanted
to tell you that you must not be sorry
for having to hurt me as you had to
that night. You kept me from sin
ning against you and myself. I will
never have a wife nor a home, but"—
with a gulp—"l do want your friend
ship. I know T am not worthy of it,
but it would make me very happy if I
might call you my friend."
All his pompous manner was gone.
He spoke as simply as a boy, and, as
she listened, the girl felt a great wave
of pity sweep over her, and she
stretched out her hand to him.
"You will always have my friend
ship, Mr. Pickens," she said. "I like
and respect you. You are a good
man."
He smiled gratefully, and stood up
to take the hand she held out to him.
"I will try not to let my regard for
you be any burden to you," he said.
"Thank you for your goodness. If I
can ever be of any service to you—
even at the risk of my life I will con
sider that I am honored."
She was not ashamed of herself
when she found, after his departure,
that she was crying softly from sheer
pity for this lonely, doomed creature.

RECOVERING FROM
STORM AND QUAKE
Two Deaths and Light Property
Damage Caused by
Hurricane
Mobile, Ala.. Oct. 19. Southern
Alabama and Western Florida were
recovering to-day from the hurricane
which swept out of the Gulf across
this coast yesterday, causing two
deaths and property and marine loss.
Although the wind attained a greater
velocity-than that which accompanied
the storm of last July, both Mobiles
and Pcnsacola, the chief cities in the
hurricane's path suffered far less dam
age. The total loss in the two cities,
probably will not exceed SIOO,OOO.
The chief damage here was to rail
road sheds and terminals and to tele
phone, telegraph and light and power
wires. Several persons were blown
through plate glass windows but es
caped serious injury.
Although the storm's Intensity de
creased as it swept inland, southern
Alabama suffered considerably, houses
being unroofed and poles blown down
at Troy while minor damage was done
in a number of other towns.
As the storm swept up through Ala
bama and Western Georgia it was
accompanied by two distinct earth
quake shocks, which were felt as far
north as Louisville, Ky., and as far
east as Augusta. Ga, The tremors
were more decided at Birmingham
than elsewhere and three thousand
people rushed from their homes and
otfices.
