OF INTEREST T
A GIRL AND A MAN
A New and Vital Romance of City Life
by Virginia Terhune Van ie Water
CHAPTER LIV
(Copyright, 1916, Star Company.)
"Miss Morley!"
Agnes stifled a scream of fear as a
man stepped in front of her and spoke
her name, thus checking her in her
flight
She was so exhausted that she could
scarcely run, yet she had not dared to
■low her pace to a walk until she was
almost a block away from the apart
ment house in which Bainbridge lived.
In her rage, her horror of all that
had happened, she fancied that the
man who had Insulted her was follow
ing her. She gave a gasp of relief as
she looked up into the kindly face of
Randolph Pickens.
"Suppose we stroll over in the
park," he suggested, "where you can
sit down and regain your composure."
For she was still trembling, and her
voice shook when she tried to speak.
"Thank you!" she whispered.
It was not until they were seated on
one of the benches in Central Park
that he addressed her once more.
"I stopped in to see you this even
ing," he explained, "and when I learn
ed from your maid of your relative's
serious illness 1 longed to express to
you in person my sincere sympathy,
and to offer my services if thero is
anything I can do.
"The young person in your em
ploy told me that you had left word
for her to inform any caller of your
whereabouts.
"■When I had waited for a lons
time I became more solicitous, and
obeyed, the instinct which suggest
ed that I linger until you appear. I
therefore walked up and down the
square for a number of times. I am
glad now that I did—for it is evident
that you are in some trouble. I am
sorry."
Agnes tried to speak. "I —I—was
only frightened—and angry—Oh"—
her self-control forsaking her entirely
—"I don't know what to do! lam so
ashamed—-so disgraced!"
Agnes forgot her companion's pom
pous manner, his stilted speech, as
slowly, tactfully he drew the story
from her. She would have said that I

TUESDAY EVENING,
she could never tell any man what
Hasbrook Balnbridge had said to her
to-night but now all sense of propor
tion, all thought of discretion was
swept aside by her overwrought nerv
ous condition and her physical exhaus
tion.
Intuitively she knew that the man
in whom she was confiding was a gen
tleman at heart. This knowledge and
the memory that he, too, had suffered
deeply made her trust him.
"I know that people would believe
the worst of a girl who would do what
1 have done," she quavered, when she
had finished her story. "But I disre
garded conventions, caution and
everything except the determination
to earn money for Auntie—to save her
life If possible.
"And now I have ruined my reputa
tion, have made it impossible for me
to keep my position, have spoiled my
life! And all because of that one man
and my own folly."
him!"
"Oh!" Agnes gasped,-looking at the
thin face transfigured in the pale
moonlight.
"I must be going home," she said,
touching his arm timidly. She felt
awed by this gentle, sad man.
"Certainly! certainly!" he exclaim
ed, rising and offering her his arm.
"I beg your pardon for my inatten
tion!"
"You are very kind, Mr. Pickens,"
she ventured, "to have been so patient
with me. Perhaps I should not have
told you what I did. But you came
just when 1 was almost beside myself."
"You have honored me," he said
gravely. "No man can be more hon
ored than by being trusted by a good
woman and by having the opportunity
to avenge her wrongs."
"Avenge her wrongs!" Agnes
echoed, startled. "What do you mean?''
"We are at your home now." he re
marked, ignoring her question.
"Good night, and thank you!" She
said, gratefully.
To her astonishment, Randolph
Pickens raised her hand to his lips.
"Good night—and God bless you al
ways!" he murmured.

Wlieu the young man had ' wrung
the last encore from a kindly audi
ence the drop curtain was raised and
revealed on the stage In gleaming
splendor Captain Ponsouby's troupe
of trained seals. An intelligent ag

gregation they proved, balancing balls
on their small heads, juggling flaming
torches and taking as their just due
lumps of sugar from the captain's
hand as they finished each feat.
"Clever beasts, aren't they?" Lord
Ilarrowby remarked. And as Captain
Ponsonby took his final curtain his
lordship added:
"Er—what follows the trained
seals?"
The answer to Harrowby's query
came almost immediately, and a
startling answer it proved to be.
Into the glare of the footlights step
ped Mr. llenry Trimmer. Ills manner
was that of the conquering hero.
"My dear friends," he said, "I appre
ciate this reception. As I said In my
handbill of this afternoon, I am work
ing In the interests of justice. The
gentleman who accompanies rne to
your delightful little city Is beyond any
question whatsoever George Harrow
by, the eldest son of the Earl of Ray
brook, and as such he Is entitled to
yall himself Lord Harrowby. 1 know
the American people well enough to
feel sure that when thsr re:Jize the
facts they will demand fflat justice be
done. That Is why I have prevailed
upon Lord Harrowby to meet you here
in this, your temple of amusement,
and put his case before you. His lord
ship will talk to you for a time with
a view to getting acquainted. He has
chose for the subject of his discourse
'The Old Days at Rakedale Ilall.' La
dies and gentlemen, I have the honor
to introduce the real Lord Harrowby." 1
Out of the wings shuffled the lean
and gloomy Englishman whom Mr.
Trimmer had snatched from the un
known to cloud a certain wedding day.
The applause burst forth. It shook the
building. From the gallery descended
a shrill penetrating whis'le of acclaim.
Mr. Minot glanced at the face of the
girl beside him. She was looking
straight ahead, her cheeks bright red.
her eyes Hashing with anger. Beyond
the face of Harrowby loomed, frozen
terrible.
"'Shall we—go?" Mlnot whispered.
( no means," the girl answered.
"We should only call attention to our
presence here. I know at least fifty
people in this audience. We must see
it through."
And there in that crowded little
southern opera house on that hot Feb
ruary night the actor who followed
the trained seals proceeded to go back.
With unfaltering touch he sketched for
his audience the great stone country
seat called Rakedale Hall, where for
centuries the Harrowbys had dwelt.
It was as though he took his audience
there to visit-through the nmssive
iron gates up the broad avenue bor
dered with limes until the high chim
neys, the pointed gables, the mullioned
windows and the walls half hidden by
ivy, creeping roses and honeysuckles ,
were revealed to them. He took them '
through the house to the servants' (
quarters—which he called 'the offices" j
—out Into the kitchen gardens, thence!
to the paved quadrangle of the sta
bles with its arched gateway and the
chiming clock above. Tennis courts, j
grape houses, conservatories, they vis-,
lted breathlessly. They saw over the J
brow of the hill the low square tower j
of the old church and the chimneys of,
the vicar's modest house, and far !
away they beheld the trees that fur-1
nlsbed cover to the little beasts It was'
the Earl of Raybrook's pleasure to
hunt in the season.
Becoming more spedflc, he spoke of
the neighbors, and a bit of romance
crept in in the person of the fair hair
ed Hon. Edith Townshend, who lived
to the west of Rakedale Hall. He
described nt length the picturesque per
sonality of the "racing parson," neigh
bor on the south and in full accord
with the ideas of the sporting Earl of
Raybrook.
Next the speaker shifted his scene
to Eton, thrilled his hearers with the
story of his revolt against Oxford, of
his flight to the States, his wild days
in Arizona. And he pulled out of hlB
pocket a letter written by the old Earl
of Raybrook himself profanely expos-'
tulatlng with him for his madness and:
begging that he return to ascend to the!
earldom when the old man was no;
more.
The "real Lord Harrowby" finished <■
reading this somewhat pathetic appeal
with a little break In his voice and
stood looking out at the audience.
"If my brother Allan himself were
In the house," he said, "he would have
I to admit that It is our father speaking
j in that letter."
I A rustle of interest ran through the
j auditorium. The few who bad recog
| nized Harrowby turned to stare at him
I now. For a moment he sat silent, his
j face a variety of colors In the dim
light. Then with a cry of rage he
leaped to his feet
I "You stole that letter, you cur," he
| cried. "You are a liar, a fraud, an
| ltnpostor."
j The man on the stage stood shading
| his eyes with his hand.
"All, Allan," he answered, "so you
j are here, after all? Is that quite the
} proper greeting after all these years?"
A roar of sympathetic applause greet
ed this sally. There was no doubt as
j to whoso Bide Mr. Trimmer's friend,
the public, was on. Ilarrowby stood
in his place, his lips twitching, his eyes
for once blazing and angry.
Dick Mlnot was by this time escort
ing Miss Meyrick up the aisle, 'and
| they came quickly to the cool street.
' Harrowby, Paddock and Spencer Mey
j rick followed Immediately. His lord
ship was most coutrite.
At the hotel Minot ascended to the
j third floor. As he wandered through
| the dark passageways In search Gf his
i room he bumped suddenly Into a heavy
j man walking softly. Something about
J the contour of the man in the dark
| gave him a suggestion.
| "Good evening, Mr. Wall," he said.
The scurry of hurrying footsteps, but
!no answer. Mlnot went on to 389 and
| placed his key in the lock. It would
not turn. He twisted the knob of the
door. It was unlocked. He stepped
inside and flashed on the light.
His small abode was in a mad dis
order. The chiffonier drawers had
been emptied on the floor, the bed was
torn to pieces, the rug thrown in a cor
; ner. Minot smiled to himself.
| Some one had been searching—
| searching for Chain Lightning's collar.
Who? Who but the man he had bump
j ed against in that dark passageway?
! As Dick Minot bent over to pick up
bis scattered property a knock sounded
on the half open door, and Lord Ilar
j rowby dopped in. The nobleman was
gloom personified. He threw himself
| despondently down on the bed.
"Minot. old chap." he drawled, "it's
' all over." Ilis eyes took in the wreck
age. "Eh? What the deuce have you
been doing, old boy?"
