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.

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.
