The time was early even ing "May I smoke. Marie?" asked the young man When lam nervous I leally tind tobacco almost necessary " When you are nervous!" echoed the girl, with a laugh. "1 don't believe that you huve a nerve lu your body, Char ley "Oh, yes. I have." said Hall, In his characteristic slow , steudy tone "1 m full of them. Vou don't know me." "I've known you ever since I was horn she replied "You are one of my earliest recollections I distinctly te lneniber being afraid of you in my era die " "At that early age." said he, "a girl cannot be expected to distinguish be tween her friends and her enemies - between those who would protect and those who would harm her. But you are eighteen years old now and should know a ;reat deal more than you did then " It ii iv be so." suid she. "Yet soma Low I'm afiaid of you this evening I led as if you were going to say some thing disagreeable." "A woman's intuition Is certainly re mark.ibl e saitl Hall. "1 am going to say - unwilling disagreeable very dis cable indeed And that's what makes uie so nervous " It was evident thut Hall meant what lie said, and yet the side of the house exhibited as much perturbation as he did. He lighted his cigar slowly, extinguished the match with great care and leaned back iu the chair with the air of one who is at peace with himself and all the world. Miss Winsted got up from the railing and then sat down again. She leaned far out. looking up the street as if she hoped to see some one, and at last she said suddenly "Well, t'hurley, what is It?" "1 want to say something about Mr. Brooke/* responded liall. ' If it's really very disagreeable," said Marie, "don't you think you'd better say it when he is present?" "I will repeat it when he is present," replied the young man calmly, "but I will tell you first if you'll permit me." "Charley Hull," said the girl, "1 uev *>r know w hat to do with you. If you Wei* any other man. I shouldn't hesi tate * moment. I should simply tell you to mind your own business. But there's a dire, deadly insistence iu you. You posses* the attributes of fate. 1 al ways feel us If it were useless to try to •top you." "It is in this instance," he replied, "quite useless. As for my business, you are my business. 1 would drop any other In a moment to take up the small est task that might be of service to you. That's true, isn't it?" "I wish it weren't," she replied. "You do worry me sol" "I'm sorry," said he earnestly, and with the faintest intonation of bitter ness. "It is undoubtedly very unfortu nate thut I should happen to be in love with you. but I am and always have baeu, and"— "You must not talk like that!" she er claloisd "I am engaged"— "To • man whom you know nothing about," he interrupted. "Six months Ago Stanton Brooke came here to he di vision superintendent of the railroad. There I* not u soul in this city who had • ver heard of hlui before. He came from somewhere in New England." "From Boston," said the girl hastily. "My mother and 1 know all about htm. OT course he bus told us everything. It en My, there a very little to know. He hu# been an orphan from his childhood. got an education somehow. Worked bis way through college and has been at work ever since. I don't think you ought to say anything which would tend to make me unhappy. I shan't be lieve It, whatever It is, but it may tor ment me '' "The first time my eyes lighted on itanbm Brooke." said Hall deliberate ly, "1 knew that he was a man who be lieved that it was a natural law that every g;ri lie met should fall In love with him." "You «au't make me Jealous," said Marie 1 know Stanton Brooke better than you do." "Do you know where he was last evening?" demanded Hall. i ei taiulr." she replied. ' He was de 'aiiitsl ut the ottlce." "He v>us not at the otflce after haif past 7 o'clock." suid Hall. "I know, be cause 1 was there myself until mid night." "Beally. I can't hear another word," said Marie. "This is the same old in comprehensible scene that lias occurred eo often between us It Is the miracle of my life that I permit you to talk to tue of your love and to dissuade me from trusting the one mau in all the world whom I desire to trust with all my heart It is your Immovable per sistence"- I am determined to *ave you from a fenlble mistake," said Hull. "I believe I'd rather make it," ei claltned the girl, "than be saved In a way tiiut kills my self respect. Thank heaven," she added fervently, "here 1* Mr. Brooke." Hall rose slowly from his chair as Brooke cume striding up the walk that led from the gate He wan a tall young man, rather slender, but with good breadth iti the chest and sbouldeis His manner was brisk aud decided, and he spoke rapidly v th a • leur tone very agix-able to the ear Marie gave both her hands to him as he greeted het cheerfully, and then he of then to extend it toward Hull who seemed not to see it. though there was plenty of light. "I have Just been telling Miss Win sted thut you were not at the urticp last evening." said llaii Bn.oke, who was stooping a little as if about to say something to Marie, suddenly straightened himself. "Well, that's true enough," said he. »V ha t of it ?" ".Nothing at all. said Marie hastily, Jjefol'e IJuli could reiilv It might have been possible to form the opinion that Brooke was distinctly pleased by this remark "At half past 7 o'clock," said Hall, who had subsided into the big chair again and looked exceptionally placid, "you left the office anil went down to Blssell's " Bissell was the florist of the city. There was no one else of any conse tjueu<« iu the business. "To BtsseM's?" said Marie, with a rapid, questioning glance it was very clear in her mind that she had re celved uo flowers on the previous even ii.g. "I beg you pardon," said H rook a. "I went to the station. Vou know Ham* Brower »IIS sick and telephoned for some one to relieve hint. There was no one togo except tin Brower• was agent and operator at the railrdad station, \vhi< h was just across i In" street from Bissell's t-oii scr\alory. "I >idn't goto Bissell s, eh? suid Hall. "What are you driving at?" demand ed Brooke "I stopped half a minute to speak to Bissell himself, who was standing in the doorway." "I was aware of It," said Hall. "Then you went across to the station. jsJPCX r i * \ J Mitrie yuve hoth her hands t<> him. You relieved Brower, and ttntil 9 o'eloek you were absolutely alone there. Vou didn't even have one of the hoys with you." "That's right." answered Brooke. "Antl it won't happen again. Nobody ought to be alone down there. But there was such an awful deluge of rain, and the hoys were dreitehed to the skin. Brower sent tlietn both home." "It's quite a long way from the sta tion to the theater, isn't it?" inquired Hall. A eonsiderahle Interval n£ silence followed this question. Brooke glanced uneasily from Hall to the girl, and then he seemed to study her for al most a minute intently. As Marie had no Idea what Hall meant she could think of nothing to say. She was con scious of a vague terror. "Yes." said Brooke at last ill a changed tone. "It's nearly the whole width of the town." "Too far to send flowers on such a night." said Hal), "especially when you haven't anybody to send." Brooke uttered a confused, unintel ligible exclamation. It sounded Ilka a jumble of several "swear words" of the politer sort. "Shortly after you went down to the station," said Hall, "I had occasion to call you up on the telephone. I took down the receiver and gave the num ber to central. Almost instantly I was surprised to hear your voice. I called •Hello." but you did not hear me. You were talking with some one else, and I was 'in' on the wire. You said, 'lt is too far to send roses tonight, but I send my love—all my love.' J»o I quote cor rectly?" Brooke did not reply. He was looking at Marie. The girl seemed dazed. "Of course this can't be true," she said, as if she were thinking aloud. Still Brooke said nothing. He took off his hat and put up his hand to his fore head. Then he dropped the hat into the chair in front of him. "I was considerably Interested," said Hull. "It has long been my conviction that you wepe that sort of a man, Mr. Brooke, and I have hoped that Miss Wlnsted would find it out in time. Well, let nie continue. 1 heard a girl's voice say. 'lsn't that sweet?' and a few words more to the same effect, and then I was shut off, so that I heard no more. It became necessary, however, to know a little more, but I couldn't do much last evening. 1 learned that you nau oeen mmiiii; wuu someDOOy at the theater, and that was all. "But I did better today," he contin ued. "1 took an hour off this afternoon and went over to the theater to ask a few questions, but good fortune spared me most of my trouble. Some young women who belong to the company whi'h is playing there this week were standing by the door, and us 1 came up I heard a voice that seemed surprising ly familiar To cut my story short. It was the voice I had heard bv telephone, I learned without difficulty that she was .Miss Alice Austin at least, that's her *tage name that she has just Joined the company and that she comes from Hoston." At the mention of the city Marie glanced nervously at Brooke. He was pale, and his lips were compressed. "In case you should deny that you were speaking to Miss Austin." Hall began; but Brooke Interrupted him "I don't deny It." said he. "Very well," saitl Hall. "What time did you leave the station last evening?" "Eleven o'clock," answered Brooke sharply "Where iliil vou go?" "Home." "I hail been led to believe, said Hall calmly, "that you went over to the theater" "What you may have been led to be llev#»." retorted Brooke, "is of the small est possible consequence to Die What does Miss Winsted believe?" "This •;in all I plained," ex claimed Marie "I'erhaps Miss Austin is—la a relative" She f»'it angry and absurd She knew that she was not taking the proper at titude; that she ought to treat this story with utter scorn and disbelief Yet Brooke had denied nothing, and Hall s;tt there with a look of complete confidence which disconcerted her. It was the mans peculiar nif t that he could always exert this influence upon her when lie tried Mi*s Austin is In no way related to me." said Brooke "Ami and you said that to her?" "There may have been more," said Hall That was all that I heard " "There was a little more," said Brooke, turning toward Marie. "But 1 cannot tell you what it was" "I don't see hou you could have any thing to MIV to her that you can't tell uie." s.iid Marie | don't understand this matter In the least At first 1 thought that it wa> all very absurd, and that a word fiom you would set It right I was almost glad that Mr. Hall had put himself in this position. 1 did not wish to stop him until he hud said enough to prohibit him from ever say ing any more upon this subject to me. But you exijyin nothing Stanton" "Because T wish to be the explana tion myself, the living explanation," he answered hurriedly and with deep earnestness "Chame, link, can do what it pleases It can pile up endletMfe evidence upon any subject ''oinclderieff can convict any man of any offense Whatever unless he himself is the suftl o ihe acciisation. I ulcus | you ian be-in b\ trusting me, Marie, i we -hall never be happy I aui glad the op|io; unity has arisen, so that we may | know just what we are to each other." "lii the ordinary speech of men," said Hall, il i- -ort ot thing is called a ; bluff I beg .\otir pardon, Marie, hut I I really could not see you fall into a trap i so plain." Brooke was standing behind a heavy chair He gripped the back of It bard, I as If lie needed it for purposes of re straint. "1 think you ought to tell all.'' said the girl, trembling "1 can't," replied Brooke with a pecu i liar smile, "it would be against the law. Please, please, believe in me!" He extended his hand toward her im ploringly, and suddenly she clasped it in both of hers and let Brooke draw her toward him. lie put an arm across her shoulders and looked triumphantly at his accuser. Hall was slowly rising from his chair, lie had begun to do so when he heard the words "against the lan." His face was pale and ri>;ifl. "The part of my messuge which I can't tell you. Marie," said Brooke, "la a name merely a name. This eaves dropper overheard all the rest." "A name?" echoed the girl. "Yes, a man's name." was the reply. Hall by this time was standing in front ot Brooke, upon whose shoulder he laid his right hand roughly, staring into his face. Brooke met the glance squarely, and it was the other who flinched tlrst. Hall's hand dropped. He turned away without a word and walked somewhat unsteadily down the steps and out of the yard. "He knows the truth now," said Brooke. "I'or a man who was so fool ish In the beginning and so blind he showed a remarkably quick perception at the last." "I don't know the truth." said Marie, "and i dou'i ever want to know it un less you care to tell me." "My dear little girl," said he, bending down, "this actress, who, 1 have no doubt, is a most estimable young wo man, made her tlrst appearance with the company last evening and proba bly she was very nervous about It and required all the encouragement she could possibly have. So a fellow in the east who loves her sent a telegram to cheer her up. Mr. Hall correctly re peated it to you. lie did not hear the signature, and I couldn't give you that, because, as I lnt\x> said, it is against the law to reveal such a matter. Ire placed the telegraph operator nt the utation. I was alone when the niegsaga came. 1 wanted Miss Vustin to have it in time, because it was a very nice message and a good cure for stage fright, as 1 should suppose. So I tele phoned to the theater and disclosed the facts, and when Miss Austin came to the other end of the wire I repeated the words of the man in the east. Let us hope that he loves her as much as I love you, Marie, and that he will never lose het confidence nor deserve to lose ,jit. Also," lie added, smiling. "I humbly pray the same blessing for myself, and I will try to deserve it " now Tllin «.!. ! \ ST YItT.
