THE CRTIZEN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1010. PAID IN FULL Novelized From Eugene Walter's Great Play . . . By . . . JOHN W. HARDING Copyright, 1908, by 0. V. Dillingham Co. CHAPTER XIX. DESTINY Is n strange thing. Under many n quiet exterior smolder flres of volcanic pas sion thnt nercr aro fanned Into activity becauso the essential puff of cause has never stirred them. Jim By Smith had had conceptions of com fort and life on a large scnlo that he had never attempted to carry out for the reason that the one thing upon which they were based, the one Incen tive, was lacking a wife. Given wealth and a woman rcsp'onBlvc In the ranio degreo to the profound devotion and large Ideas of which he was capa ble, Smith might have developed Into a magnificent nabob, a great states man or a great "captain of industry," certainly into a great and wise philan thropist. Given such a woman as an Inspiration, he might with his strength of mind and self control have won from nothing to n position that would have enabled him to live In some ac cord with the aspirations that onco had illumined his day dreaming. As It was, he had banished day dreaming from his plan of existence. He had fixed a rigid line of demarca tion between right and wrong for .the governance of his own conduct that he nover normltteri himself to ovorsten. but the failings of others he was prone j to condone and ever was ready to stretch forth a hand and help a weak ling to set himself straight Jimsy occupied two furnished rooms in a small, quiet boarding house. Ho bad lived In the place ever since his arrival In New York, and the only "IIcllo, Jimsy 1" change he had made was to take a pri vate sitting room in addition to his bedroom when his moans admitted of it. I I 1 T1 ,W)lr-t t J' I 1 1 I I I II Mil, 1 It was here that Brooks found himlder cross examination.' when late one evening he called there. Jimsy, cigar In mouth, was working at some pians and figures in the light of a reading lamp wheu Brooks opened the door. He looked up from the table with no evidence of surprise as his vis itor entered. "Hello, Jimsy!" "Hello!" Smith might have expected, him and regarded his presence as an ordinary thing for all the tone of his response to the salutation Indicated. "How have you been all this time?" "About as usual. How have you been getting on? Take a chair, won't you?" no did not see the hand that Brooks extended for the reason that he was rolling up tho plaus that had been stretched before him. Brooks sat down in the only other armchair, on the same side of the ta ble. On entering ho had been very nervous. His customary aplomb re vived as he found that Smith was ap parently tho same old Jimsy. "Oh, fine," he replied. "Thought I'd just drop in on you and sec how things were," "Thanks, nave a cigar." Srr.th pushed tho box toward him, and he helped himself to one and lit It. "I feel like I owe an apology for keeping out of the way so long. I suppose you wondered what had be come of me." "I have often wondered." "Well, you see, I was sort of cut up after the way Emma left me. It was enough to make me feel sore. There was no excuao for It. Then Pre been awfully busy. I got a job in a bank as assistant receiving teller at a real living salary. A fellow isn't ground down there, and there's a chance to get on. They treat you Ilk a gentle man, not Ilk a lascar cabin boy. I ought to bar quit the Latin-Amerlcaa line lone; Ufa. I suppose eld William Is atfll alar drlvlnr." "Willi ma la (tin pr wildcat f the omjwmr." "Wott, b"U got wkaf MmUf to aim frets somebody on of Um eUy." IfatHfc sad a wanaiL oay, Jimsy, you don't give ono tnc Impression that the world disagrees with you. You look Immense." "There's never much tho matter with me, Brooks." "'Brooks!' Why 'Brooks?' What's the matter with 'Joe?' You needn't be so darned ceremonious. You haven't got a grudge against me be cause I stayed away so long, have you?" "No grudge whatever." "Oh, well, let It go. How's tho old woman?" "You mean Mrs. narrls?" "Who else would I mean except my saintly tnothcr-ln-law?" "She was well at last reports." There was another pause In tho con versation, and Brooks stared hard at tho celling. "I guess you'ro a fixture here. You wouldn't be happy In any other lodg ings," lie went on, looking at Jimsy, who was eying him with his usual calm expression that was neither cold nor kind, yet partook, If anything, of kindness. "You ought to see tho cute little quarters I have. They're In a bachelor apartment house. I want you to come around one of theso evenings. You'll come, won't you?" "Maybe, one of these odd evenings. We've got to provide accommodations for more boats, and I'm a busy man, to you mustn't bank on me for awhile." "All right. If that ain't a refusal any evening you can dispose of will suit me. Just let mo know you're coming; that's all." For the hundredth time his eyes wandered to portraits of himself and his wife in a silver stand on the table. They had presented photographs and stand to Smith soon after their mar riage. "You've still got that, I sec," he said, Indicating it with a nod of the head. "Of course." "How is she, by the bye?" At last ho had brought tho conter- sation round to where ho wanted it, "Emma? Oh, she was all right when 1 1 last heard about her." "neard about her? She's living with her mother, isn't she?" I "Certainly. I haven't seen them for some time. All tho family's out of I town." J Brooks could not conceal his dlsnp- polutment I "Where are they staying? Is it far from the city?" "Quite some distance." "Well, where Is It? At tho seaside? ' In the country?" ho demanded, exas perated. "Why don't you como out with a straight answer instead of dodging? What do you think 1 am? What do you think I camo hero for?" "You said you came to see how I was getting along." Brooks could have kicked himself for having been betrayed into losing his temper. It was a bad break for a man having a favor to ask. "Of course I came for that, Jimsy," he said, tho "anger gone from his voice. "But it's only natural I should ask for news of my family. You don't seem to think I have any rights or feelings. I am still Emma's husband, and It ain't because we've had a tiff that we're to be at cat and dog for tho rest of our lives, I suppose." "I haven't forgotten that you're Em ma's husband, Joe, but the matter of your 'rights' is open to a difference of construction, and. I'm entitled to my own opinion. I do consider It perfect ly natural, however, that you should be curlou3 about your family, and I've answered every question you've put to me except the last. I'm under prom- ! Ise not to disclose their whereabouts to anybody. That's why." "Yes, you've answered my questions, but you've confined yourself to 'Yes' tnd 'No' as if you were n witness un- lie passed his hand over liLs pjes and sighed. "It ain't like you, Jimsy," he con tinued. "It ain't like you a bit. I thought you at least wouldn't turn against me. He's a good man who never does anything wrong." "That's right. I guess there aro more men who do wrong nnd aren't found out than there are men who do wrong and are discovered, and I ain't In the business of heaving rocks at any man certainly not at you." "I'm glad to hear you say that. I've been living on the level ever since. You can believe me, Jimsy ask the bank if my accounts nln't in order and I'm going to keep straight too. What more can I do, except say I'm eorry? What more does anybody want me to do?" "Nothing, I should think." "You believe me, Jimsy?" "Joe, I believe you'ro speaking the truth, nnd I hope with all my heart and soul you'll keep right on the way you're going. And, now you know how I feel about it, come right out and tell mo what brought you here." "I will, then. I want to know nbout Emma. It's a year now since sue since we separated, nnd I won't stand It any longer. I want her to come back to me. I simply cnu't do with out her." He looked at Smith expectantly, but the phlegmatic Jimsy made no remark. "You see them often. Do they ever speak about me?" "They have never mentioned you in my presenco since the night Emma left you." "I never believed. Emma would sulk o long. I'll bet she's as sick and tired of this business as I am. If she ain't bad enough of tho old woman and that ftucknp Ilttl chit of a Bath by thl time I'm no coed aa a ruesser. I know Emma. Tbcy most bar balttd acr t death." "Maybe, bnt If they bar h hasn't told in about It, aad ah doosat carry it writ o bar maWanae eo's yen'd BOtlte St." "Jlmay, I BtMt see ker. Ten at wbr eke k." "You enn't find out from mo. I'd tell you willingly enough, but she served aii Injunction on me ages bo fore you came here, and I'm not go ing to put myself In contempt tif court." Brooks jumped up and nervously knocked the ash from lit I'htnr on to n tray. "You've known Emiuit and me for over bIx years. Jimsy." ho said. "And you know nil about us and how happy we were together how I tried to make her happy, risked everything for her. You were always a good friend to both of us. That's why I'm here that's why I'm going to ask you to do me a favor. Will you?" "Joe, I'll do anything within the bounds of reason." "I knew you wouldn't refuse. 1 wnnt you to see Emma alone not with her mother and Beth around; they'd queer everything. I wnnt you to ask her to let bygones be bygones nnd come back to me. We'll begin nil over again, and this time we'll begin right. Tell her I'm well fixed. I'm nhcad of the game. I've got money by earned nnd saved It and n good place. There'll be no more hard pulling like there was In the old time. Tell her I'm more sorry than I can express for our little mis understanding sorry nnd miserable. Tell her I love her more than ever nnd that If she will sco me sho will understand." Smith nodded nsscnt. "And, Jimsy, put in n good word for me plead for me do it as if it was for yourself. Emma will listen to you when sho won't to nny one else. You know she thinks a whole lot of you. Will you do this for me?" "Yes, I'll do It. Joe." "Soon?" "Let's see; this Is Tuesday. I'll see her Sunday go on purpose." Brooks went to him and seized his hand with both his own. "Jimsy, you are tho best ever!" he exclaimed fervently. "I knew I could count ou you. I'll never forget this turn you're doing me never! And Emma will appreciate it too. Good night nnd God bless you." Ho wrung Smith's hand again. At the door he turned with this rec ommendation: "Don't forget. Jimsy. Plead with her as If It was for yourself." Smith sat staring straight beforo him for an hour. CHAPTER XX P in the Cati;llls the sun had the whole sky to itself. Ev erything presaged a hot day. tarty though the hour was tho clock had not yet struck 0 Emma was out on the piazza, dressed for walking. She wore a cool, clinging costume of pale straw colored tussah so short that It descended little below the tops of her high buttoned light tan shoes. A soft felt hat, such as men travelers roll up and carry In their pockets, was secured to her fair hair by a hatpin, nnd its limp border hung down and shaded her eyes. These, of n blue that rivaled the heavens, wero sparkling with admiration of the 6cene, and her cheeks glowed with health. She made n lovely picture as she stood gazlug out into the vnllcy. Jimsy Smith, who had stopped on the road above on his way from the hotel, where he had put up the night before and of whose presence there nt that moment she was quite unconscious, thought he had never seen any picture so beautiful In all his life. But, then, Jimsy's judgment was biased. He had always considered Emuin pretty and found something to admire in her even wheu, with grimy hands and In soiled cotton dress, she was engaged in the unpoutlcal occupation of polish ing the kitchen stove. Beth, her hair twisted into little wave knots with queer pins nnd at tired in a pink wrapper, Joined her. "Why don't you get your things on and come with us?" urged Emma. "Jimsy will be hero nt 0 o'clock." "McV North mountain? No, thank you! I had enough walking yesterday. I'm going to church; mother's coming too. We didn't go last Sunday, and the whole park will be gossiping If the family Isn't represented sometimes by some ono or other. They'll think we're all pagans. Besides, I'm going ;o wear the now gown Jimsy brought up for me from the dressmaker's. Wasn't It lucky he was coming? It wouldn't have been here till Tuesday or Wednes day. That man's nlwnys on hand Just when he's wanted. Won't those Par sons girls stare!" Jimsy walked down through the laurel bower. "Beth," he said by way of saluta tion, "that's the most common sense mountain climbing outfit 1 ever saw." "It's very rudo to make remarks about people's clothing when they're not dressed to receive," sho retorted. "You're not privileged to express nny opinion. It's too early. But It's quite impossible to stay abed with Emma carrying on as if It was tho middle of the day. She's been humming all over the house since 5 o'clock, and all that becauso she's going for n climb." "Why, sho hasn't slept a wink think, lng of her new dress," laughed Emma. "Well, Beth, by tho time you've got your halo out of curl and settle down In your pew," observed Smith, "we shall be several hundred feet nearer th other cherubs, listening to the sol emn anthems of the whispering pines. Yes, I said 'the solemn nntheuis of the whispering pines.' " "Jlmer, if I didnt know different I'd suepect you of being a post Th next thing w know you'll be wearing your hair long and pouring oat jour soul la Sappbte strophe, like Uae Km mi, bar." t at knew tkmt Pro moplcd Utat u nln't quite sure that I kin... Ju. t what strophes are, but if E.niu.i think they are nil right I'll stiui.l for o.n." "Oh, come on, Jlnis.; duirt lUieu to her nonsense," laughed Ltiima. They started out briskly, Emma nhowlng the way. 'Do j i u know, It's n real treat to go walking witli you," she said. "1 know you lovo It. I've heard you say so. Both can't bear long walks, nnd, us for mother, she rarely goes further than her piazza rocking chair. But I've dragged Beth about and learned every path through the woods to the sum mits nnd plateaus. This is the sccoud summer I've been here, you know," Deserting the beaten path, they as cended through forests of trees of ev ery description, but as they proceeded along the path, In placosanklc deep In wet moss, nnd pushed througli under brush thnt kept Smith busy breaking a way for ills dainty but hardy and seemingly tireless companion they came into the fir region, amid lionry giants that shot sheer to such a height that they seemed to form pillars for the canopy of the heavens. Emma re garded the great trees with awe, but Smith laughed. He told her they wero as saplings compared with the mighty trees of tho west. Ho tried to describe theso and became filled with the fever of Immensity. Tho long unfelt lullucnce of the borderless prairies, tho mammoth mountain chains far flung through the prodigious spaces of tho sunset lands that dimin ished their proportions, was upon him. His soul strained to burst Its tethers nnd soar upward into the Infinite, where it could expand uurcstralncd. Burning words, never used, unlmag lned before In his unlettered mind, ade quate to depict this liberated spiritual ity, surged tumultously to bis Hps to die there. For the source of their inspiration, of this tremendous flight into tho divine nzure from his regulated role of the commonplace and coldly practical, was tho woman at his side, the one being In the world who was dear to him and over had been, whom ho held In little less reverence thnn he did his Maker. He broke off his description of the forest giants and vast freedoms of the west with a conclusion In his or dinary street surface language. "But there It's no use me trying to do any lecture platform stunts. I wasn't born with tho gift of the gab. Emma, them things have got to be teen to be appreciated. There's no other way. You understand." Yes, Emma understood. She had listened to his brief, unsus pected eloquence and had read his soul In the light of tho celestial tllcker that had emanated from It; had seen the glory of It In his face a glory transient as a beacon Hash, that was gone from It, leaving only his habitual noncommittal smile, as he turned to her and said, "You understand." They continued the climb in silence, Emma's bosom rising and falling rap Idly upon the rush and swirl of the torrent that raged beneath it. almost sweeping her self control before it Jimsy indeed loved her! Why had this chance revelation of what her In tuition had divined long beforo torn open the floodgates of her own emo tions? Because It had set vibrating every chord of her being, and every chord of that being, us she had come to understand also, was attuned to his. Together they had beheld the mir age of heaven. At the upper edge of the forest laby rinth they emerged on to n rocky plateau studded with dwarfed firs nnd balsam pines, but covered thickly with aromatic ferns and blueberry bushes. Jimsy bared his head to the cool breeze that swept tho clearing and watched Emma, who, with a little cry of delight, had stooped among the blueberry bushes nnd was gathering n handful of their ripe fruit. She was glad of tho pretext to hide the up heaval In her heart that she felt must show In her eyes. This upheaval, sudden nnd nlmost overpowerlngly violent though It wns, wns not of the morning's forming. She hnd known the calm, sympathetic westerner as he had reminded Cap tain Williams ever since she was a girl In short frocks. She had soon conic to look upon him as a big broth er, with whom sho shared her girlish troubles nnd In whom she confided freely, naturally, as n matter of course. When she had become a woman and he hnd sought her for his brldo she had not been able, with all her liking for him, to bring herself to consider him in the light of n lover. After the scales formed there by tho blandishments and personal pulchri tude of Brooks had fallen from her eyes nnd sho saw that sho had bowed down to an empty, painted fetich of plaster Instead of to God In tin) flesh she had resigned herself to tho lot destiny had brought her nnd sought to make the best of It like the pure woman she was. Household drudgery and tho stern verities of her existence hnd vanquished and put to flight nil her Illusions. Love was a delusion. It wns not what she had conceived it to be. It existed in perfect, ideal form only In the imaginings of tho poets nnd litterateurs, nnd nny ono suggested to her that Jimsy Smith was the depository of It, that his heart was the altar on which the sacred fire burned unquenchable, that under the crust of his unemotional manner was a quiescent volcano of passion that could be roused to stupendous erup tion, a be would have laughed. to coirxnreBB.1 A DOLLAR.
