CHAPTER XVIII.
WASHED with rain, the stars,
"forgctmcnots of the an
gels," blinked 1 1 in p 1 1 1 y
from tho sky of violet blue.
IThc moonlight flooded the country,
percolated in soft, refulgent enscades
through tho spruces and hemlocks and
traced with Its witchery weird ara
besques In tho glades.
On the road that ribboned through
the forest and up from the lake walked
Emma Brooks and her sister Beth, the
latter grumbling.
"You Are the queerest girl," she com
plained. "No one but you would think
of coming out In such weather not a
soul. My shoes nre so henry with mud
I can hardly lift my feet."
"Oh, I Just had to! I love It," rc-
CHod Emma. "I simply could not stay
idoors. 1 know now what a bird
must feel like when It la caged. You
must humor nie, little sister. I have
been born again awakened to n new
life. My soul, snatched from the swlrl
fire of sordidness, of sorrow, of base
ness, that seared It, must expand or
burst. My life for so long wns de
pressed In tho fog, like that we carao
up through today to emerge at last
Into the brightness of the mountain
tops. It Is hard to realize that I have
left nil this behind and nin free in the
light."
"You certainly have had a hard time
of It with that beast," admitted Beth,
stopping to take breath.
"Listen!" went on Emma. "Don't
you love that chorus of the frogs and
the grasshoppers? I think there Is
something weirdly exquisite In these
noises of the night that we do not
hear In the city, that I have not heard
for ages and ages. Oh, 1 wish the
woods here were full of tho old world
nightingales that the poets say 'feed
tho heart of the night with fire, satiate
the hungry dark with melody.' don't
you? And don't you love this incense
of the soaked earth and Its verdure?
It lifts mo to tho clouds there that
drift like silver snow past the moon."
She laughed aloud In her light heart
ednoss, and the joyous peal went
echoing through the wood.
"Ixr Emma, how you talk!" 4sald
Beth, marveling at her sister's exalta
tion, which she did not understand.
They trudged on and upward in si
lence through the mud, past cheerful
lights that glowed through windows
of bungalows and cottages among the
trees, until they came to a miniature
dwelling ensconced In a bower of
laurels.
At the door stood Mrs. Ilarris. She
was displeased.
'Tor goodness sake! Where have
you been?" she exclaimed us the girls
entered. "I began to think you hnd
fallen into tho lnke or oft a rock or
that some other dreadful thing had
happened to you and was scared to
death."
"Emma," said Beth, dropping Into a
chair, "is impossible. She insisted on
walking right to the lake, though the
"I have been born aaain awakened to a
new life."
roads were awful nnd ankle deep in
mud bo sticky that I thought I'd havo
to leave my rubbers In It. Don't for
get, too, that's all uphill coming back."
"Oh, I never enjoyed a walk so lu
my Hfef' declared Emma. "It wns
magnificent! I couldn't havo slept, I
couldn't have stayed In bed, If I hadn't
taken It."
Bat Mrs. Harris refused to be mol
lified. "And I won't be able to sleep be
cause you've made me bo nervous,"
he complained.
Emma went to hr, put her arm
bout her and kissed her.
"Don't be cross, mother," she plead
ed. "You know this Is my first sniff
of real country for a century, and I
havo never been in the Catskllls be
fore and therefore never so near heav
en. I am n little girl again, as full of
childish Joy as I used to bo when fa
ther took us on those trips which now
seem llko a drenm. they were so long
ago."
"If your father hadn't been so 'easy'
we'd be owning a handsome cottage
nt one of the fashionable places lu tho
Adlrondacks instead of lilting a mean
little bungalow here," lamented Mrs.
Harris. "No fashionable people ever
come here, and one has to be so partic
ular. But what Is one to do? Ono
can't remain in New York In tho dog
dnys!"
"For me, I'm sick nnd tired of the
mountains," nunounced Ueth. "I'd like
to go to Newport, where we'd stnnd n
chance of meeting somebody nnd
where anyhow we'd be able to see real
society people."
"Bother society!" said Emma hap
pily. Both her mother and Dcth looked
shocked.
"Emma, how can you say such a
thing?" reproved Mrs. Harris, envel
oping herself In nn air of loftiness.
"I hopo you have not allowed your
self to be Influenced by the nnnrchlstic
vnporlugs of your of that unspcaknblo
person whose name Is not to be men
tioned." "I've read somewhere that flno soci
ety is only a self protection ngalnst the
vulgarities of the street and the tav
ern," chirped Beth primly.
"That all depends on how you define
'One society,' Beth," said Emma.
"I mean the society of wealth, tho
Four Hundred, of course. I pray every
night that I may marry a duke or a
count."
"Ueth has such elevated Ideas!" com
mented her mother admiringly.
"Such petitions," observed Emma,
becoming grave, "never reach the
mercy seat It Is said that at mid
night every New Year's eve, when the
bells of the churches ring out the
dying year, there issue from the bel
fries streams of vapory spirits with
distracted, terrified faces, their hands
clasped to their cars. They are tho
prayers that never rose any higher,
prayers of worshipers iu the churches
who repeatedthem mechanically, as
they are accustomed to do every Sun
day, without realization of the signifi
cance of the words they utter; prayers
muttered by those whose thoughts
were on other things; prayers of the
hypocrite; prayers of the humbug;
supplications to tho most high for tho
preposterous and tho Impossible; pray
ers of those who do uot practice what
they preach; prayers of those who do
those things which they ought not to
do and leave undone those things
which they ought to do and think
their weekly glib confession of It and
their obolus in the collection plate ab
solve them. With the Jangling and
clanging of the bells they nre borne by
tho winds over mountain nnd sea and
are lost forever In the eternal void
between the worlds. All such prayers
wherever uttered must share this
fate."
By this time Mrs. Harris was agape,
too astonished to utter a word.
"Gracious, Emma!" gasped Beth.
"You talk like a book. I don't know
what's come over you."
"It is my new birth. I told you It
wns as though I had been born again.
I hopo you will marry a duko or a
count If you want to, Beth. As a rule,
1 believe they are real men, every
whit as worthy as good men who don't
bear this distinction of title. Still, the
field Is necessarily restricted, and you
mustn't forget that there arc other
noble men as distinguished from no
blemen men of sterling value, who
ring true under every test."
"I.lke-llke Jlmsy" ventured Beth
with a dubious air, casting about and
on the spur of the moment thinking
of none other she knew who would fit
tho description.
"Like Jimsy." assented Emma em
phatically. "But he's so.ungrnrauiatlcal, so cr
shy on education, besides which he
hasn't any money," objected Mrs. Har
ris. "None to speak of," seconded Beth,
pursing her lips deprecatlngly.
"Asldo from that, though," conceded
Mrs. Harris, "I must say Jlinsy's a,
real good man and most obliging. He
can't help his upbringing."
"How ubout Captain Williams?"
questioned Emma. "How would you
class him?"
"My dear," answered her mother,
"you wouldn't put him In tho same
class with Jlmsy I mean socially,
lie's so rich! I wouldn't be surprised
If he were several times a millionaire.
Remember, ho has two automobiles.
And the handsome way he treated you!
Why, he crossed out tho $10,000 that
abomination stole as though it were a
matter of 10 cents."
"A man's true wealth is the good he
does in this world, mother, according
to Mohammed."
"That is how It may have appeared
to that foreign prophet lu the year
1," retorted Mrs. Harris with a tone
of finality, "but In this age of horse
sense In tho United States n million
dollars iu the bank is the real standard
of wealth. With money you can do
everything. If you havo plenty of it
you can do plenty of good, and every
body else will sit on the fence and
clap, but if you haven't any you are
no good to yourself, can do no good 'to
others, and everybody else will get
down from the fence to kick you."
Left to his own devices. Brooks took
a survey of the position In which he
found himself, and his conclusion was
not without gratification to him. The
clean "bill of health" she bad been the
means of obtaining for him from Cap
tain William, had In fact left at bis free
disposal as his own property several
hundred dollars from his stealings and
from his last "plunge" on the horses.
Which bad bees a winning one. Tnea
there was the furniture The plnno
was supposed to be Emma's, and he
felt sure she would send for It. but
he had no Intent Ion of surrendering It
Not one stick, not one penny, would
she ever get out nf lilm ufici tln wnj
lu which she had fronted Mm Tin
very dny after lier ilppnrtvri- mid
the .Instrument to the plain- house
from which it had been purchased.
Within three days he had removed
from the hotel where they hud lived
in stnto for such a brief period and
transferred such furniture ns he re
quired to one room'ln n bachelor npnrt-
nient House. Tbe rest he disused of
for cash. He was a bachelor again to
all Intents and purposes, and he re
solved to enjoy his liberty to the full.
He had had enough of married life.
with Its enrcs and the discipline of re
straint It Imposed. Once more he was
one of the boys." To make his posi
tion unmlstnkabic nnd discourage nny
disposition on his wife's part to return
No him ho forwarded, care of her
mother, her portrait, that had been
conspicuous on the parlor mantel,
after taking It from the glided frame
In which It had stood. On the back
of It he wrote n verse of an old song:
My wife she ran away from mo
Some two or threo weeks bro,
And now she wants to come back again,
Hut I tell her It's no ko.
"Once tilt twice shy," Is my reply.
And If It was to rain
Cats and dogs and mussels and frogs
I'd never have her back again.
There wns no word of cxplauntlon
beyond this insulting doggerel, nnd he
was careful not to give his nddress.
He chuckled as he put It In the letter
box. At times he was n little uneasy
lest she should seek to discover his
whereabouts for the purpose of mak
ing a claim for support, but as the
weeks wore, on and nothing was heard
from her be became reassured.
Ho had had little difficulty In pro
curing work, thanks to Captain Wil
liams' note accepting his resignation,
nnd soon was established as assistant
to the receiving teller In a bank with
a salary of $25 a week. With this and
tho money already In his possession
he deemed himself rich, and his fitful
optimism obtained the ascendency ouce
moro in its usual extravagant form.
But his escape from nrrest had been a
lesson that had sunk In deeply. lie
vowed never ngaln under any circum
stances to "borrow" from the funds
he handled in the course of his duties.
He eschewed horse racing also, know
ing that if tho bank officials became
aware that he was gambling he would
lose bis place that very Instant.
After awhile bis fellow employees
noticed that Brooks, the spry, genial
Brooks, who bad won the good will of
everybody, as he had In the general
office of the Latin-American Steam
ship company, manifested a tendency
townrd moroseness; that bis face nt
times assumed an expression of mel
ancholy. Despite his love of self, he
wns of those natures which do not
thrive In solitude.
He never had cared much for the
companionship of men. His Inclina
tion always bud been toward that of
tho opposite sex. Accustomed also as
lie had been for so long to the conso
lations of home life, to the thoughtful.
affectionate ministrations and bright
presence of Emma, ho was bound
sooner or later to miss her.
"There's nothing In this living alone."'
The avowal came ouo night after he
had spent an evening at the theater
with two sociable fellow clerks and
ho gazed around his silent, cheerless
bedroom. Although he had not nt any
time loved Emma with that Ineffable
passion which is the golden ladder
upon which the soul mounts to heaven,
yet she had filled a larger place In his
heart than he had ever had any com
plete idea of prior to her absence. His
sentiment, fostered by his selfishness,
revived with violence under bis Intro
spection. He yearned Sor Emma's
smile of greeting and the kiss that ac
companied it at his homecoming, for
the numberless sweet attentions she
had lavished upou him.
How pretty she was, how gentle:
How sweetly she bad put up with his
111 humor! She was different from any
of the girls and women he had over
been acquainted with. He was sorry
he had sent the photograph, uot uloue
because he felt that he had made
gratuitously n false move, but because
lie wished he had kept It for himself.
There was not one personal object re
muliilug that had belonged to her. The
little ornaments she had liked, her
clothes, the trinkets she had left be
bliid, he had disposed of In his haste
to get rid of everything that could re
call her or to which she might lay
claim.
Ho wondered if she, too, was sorry
for their separation. She must be.
How could sho llvo under tho eternal
nagging and fault finding of her moth
er and the lording proclivities of Beth
and not long to return to the hide
peudence of her own home?
She had loved hlin. His memory
evoked tho distant vision of her frail,
lithe form clinging to him ns sho gazed
up Into his eyes, her own nglow with
the glory of her ndoratlon and Its de
lirious Intensity. Ho felt the blissful
pulsations of her heart throbbing
against him, Its paeau of passlou;
ho heard, too, In fancy the red Hps
murmur her soul's ecstasy in words of
llamo and beauty, felt the thrill that
shivered through him as his lingers
threaded caressingly tho shimmering
cloud of her tresses. That was long
ago in their early possession of eneb
other, when sho had awakened to
knowledgo of herself and bad wor
shiped him as a god, fountalnbcad of
Joy and light for her on earth.
This transcendent passion had not
found in him the responsiveness it
craved and which alone could nourish
it Emma had been an enigma to htm
often, a riddle that had bored him at
times. His blunted senses, sharpened
by desire of her, perceived that stu
pidly, Ignorant!, he bad disdained a
treasure beyond price.
Hut, remembering wh it hi- h d Ix-mi
to her nnd that she was t; hi wire,
ho believed that a reconciliation could
bo brought about. Sentiment and de
sire took counsel with advisability:
selfishness weighed the pros and cutis
In the end Hontlinent and desire, being
the stronger, ndjusted objections to
their own point of view. Hut even
then It was some time before he could
summon up courage enough to take
any steps In tho mnttcr.
Summer had given place to winter
nnd returned ngaln since Emma had
loft him. In nil that time be had not
heard from or of her. He bad made no
attempt to see Jlmsy Smith or nny of
his former friends und nssoclntcs.
Now he bent his thoughts upon how
best to effect the rapprochement.
Should ho write Emma, expressing
bis contrition and bogging her forgive
ness? His pride stiffened nt tills prop
osition. Should he write nnd request
an Interview with her? If be could see
her he believed he would have little
trouble In persuading her. But, coun
seled by her hateful mother, who nl
ways had despised him, she might re
fuso to see him. 1'erhaps the best way
would be to approach her through
some ono else. Tho only person be
knew of who by nny possibility could
act as Intermediary was Jlmsy Smith,
tho genera utility man.
Requisitioning Jlmsy's services did
not appeal to him. Ho had long been
jealous of his prosperity and of tho
fact that he had once been a suitor for
Emma's hand, although Jealousy on
account of the latter circumstance
was rather the outcome of envy of
his success in business. Nevertheless
Jlmsy was Indispensable, and the moro
Brooks realized this the higher be
came the degree of favor to which he
restored him. It had been bad policy
not to keep In touch with Jlmsy, a se
rious mistake. Smith, however, was
uch an "easy," obliging, warm 'heart
ed fellow that there would be no dif
ficulty In squaring things with him
and getting him to net as go-between.
He resolved to call on Jlmsy.
