CHAPTER XXI.
The Mockery of the Sun.

dreams. His exhaustion was so

s. Tho bay la frozen. Our old

to venture out last night Ho can't
get hero now until tho ice breaks up."
Nan accepted the situation with girl
ish enthusiasm.
The doctor pronounced tho meal bet
ter than ho had tasted on, tho trip.
.Blvens was still in nn ugly mood and
refused to leave his stateroom or al
low any ono but tho doctor to enter.
Ho was suffering intense pain from
his frostbitten Angers and toes and
oars and sail cherished' his grudge
against Stuart no hud carefully con
cealed from both the doctor and Nan
Just what had occurred between them
on tho trip that day.
On tho second morning after tho
freeze a light dawned on tho little
man's sulking spirits. During the
night tho Ice softened, and a strong
southerly breeze had swept overy pieco
of It to sea.
It was just 0 o'clock, and Nan was
busy humming a song nnd sotting the
table for breakfast when Stuart heard
tho distant drumbeat of a tenders en
gine. The guide was returning from
tho shore or the lost tender had come.
If it were tho guide ho would proba
bly bring news of the other men. Stu
art called:
"A tender is coming. Nan. Don't
como on deck until I tell you."
In a moment lie camo back down
the compnulouway and spoko ln quiet
tones:
"It's Just us I expected. They are
both dead. The guide found them on
tho marsh over tlicre, frozen."
"The marsh you and Cal were on?"
sho asked breathlessly.
"Yes. Both of them wcro kneeling.
They died with their hands clasped
In prayer." '
"And 'you saved Cal from that?"
sho gasped nnd, turning, fled Into her
stateroom.
lie went ln to change his clothes
and help lift tho bodies on dock.
Through tho paneled wall ho heard
N'an softly sobbing.
llivens refused at Urst to believe
tho doctor's startling announcement
Ho hurriedly dressed, camo on deck
and for five minutes stood staring into
tho white, dead faces.
Without n word ho went below and
askpd tho doctor to call Stuart
When his old friend entered ho took
his hand quietly, and for onco in his
Hfo tho little, black, piercing eyes
were swimming in tears as ho spoke.
"You're a groat man, Jim, and,
What's bigger, you're a good one. If
God will forgive mo for tho foolish
things I said and did I'll try to mako
It up to you, old boy. Is It nil right?"
Stuart's answer was a nod, a smile
and n pressuro of tho "hand.
When they wcro back ln Ne"w York
tho stirring scenes of Virginia brought
Stuart moro and more into intimate
personal relations with Blvens, and
he had taken ndvantago of tho, fa'ct to
draw away froth his wife. Ho ceased
to sco Nan alone. Blvens' Increasing
devotion mado this easy, and on Har
riot's return from Europe with an en
gagement as understudy in grand
opera his Hfo settled down onco moro
to tho steady development of his
Ideal of servlco to tho common people.
Scarcely n day passed without bring
ing to tho young lawyer some remind
er of Blvens' friendship. Two great
lawsuits involving tho principles on
which tho structure of tho modern
business world rested wero begun ln
tho federal courts. At tho financier's
secret suggestion tho moro important
of these was placed in Stuart's hands.
Blvena hoped to beat the government
ln this suit, but in caso tho people
should win he wanted Stuart to havo
tho honor.
Stuart could scarcely credit his ears
when Blvens said to him with a
chuckle:
"How's your big suit to dissolve tho
American Chemical company coming
on, Jim?"
"We're going to win, beyond tho shad
ow of a doubt!" was tho enthusiastic
reply.
"If you do, I want you to know, old
boy, that I threw that Job into your
hands,"
"What a funny mixture of tho devil
and tho human you aro after all, Cal!
Bivens Stood Staring at the White
Dead Faces.
Tho moro I seo of you tho less I know
you. In business you aro an op
pressor of tho weak, cruel and unjust
and yet you aro a good husband, a loy
al friend and a member of tho church."
Blvens smiled cynically.
"Nothing mysterious about it 1
camo into a world whero I found rob
rv nnd murder tho foundation of our
commercial system. I grappled witn
my enemies, learned tho rules of tho
gamo and beat them at it"
"And you expect to win in tho end?"
"I havo won!"
Tho young lawyer shook his head
thoughtfully.
"There's n text our old preacher at
bomo used to ring tho changes on that's
been burning into my lifo of late, 'Sin
when it Is full grown bringeth forth
death.' "
As the two men drew thus closer anu
closer together, Stuart's bearing toward
Nnu became guarded, and nt last their
relations strained. She met his now nt
tltudo with deep resentment nnd grow
ing wonder. Her Urtn conviction was
that he had become Interested in an
other woman. From the first sho had
suspected Harriet Woodman, and had
Inevitably linked her coming with
Stuart's change of feeling.
With tho liberal use of money she
mado tho ncqualntnnco of n member
of tho chorus of the grand opera com
pany who agreed to report to her every
movement in Harriet's life.
At the beginning of the season the
usual quarreling of tho Btars gave to
tho young singer tho opportunity of
her life, nnd Nan's friend reported that
the little golden haired understudy was
suddenly booked to sing tho leading
rolo in "Faust" on nccount of the ill
ness of tho star.
Nnn, believing narrlet would fail,
asked Stuart to speud tho evening ln
her box nt the opera tho first time he
had allowed himself to bo alone with
her since their return from the cruise.
"Yes. Nan," he answered quickly,
"I'll go with pleasure. A little friend
of mine is to sing a great rolo tonight
I'm so glad you'ro going. I want you
to hear her and help mo applaud."
if Harriet should succeed tonight
tho thought was suffocating to Nnn
tomorrow her name would bo on the
Hps of thousands and a now star would
bo shining in tho musical world!
Stuart took Harriet to tho stage door
on his way for Nan. As the cab
wheeled up Broadway ho was in a
fever of excitement over tho outcome
of the night's work.
"It's horribly unfair. Httlo pal, for
thorn to thrust you Into such a position
with only a few hours' rehearsal."
"I'm only too thnnkful for tho chance,
.Ilin," she answered.
At tho stage door he held her hand
ln parting nnd jvhlspored:
"My soul nnd body will be yours to
night dearie. Remember that! I've
permission from tho manager to meet
you behind tho scenes after tho last
curtain. Bo sure to wait a moment
before you go to your dressing room."
"No, I'll see you ln my room. I
shall bo so proud of It tho star's room
for ono night nt least! Tho maid will
show you the way."
"I will be ln tho Blvens' box, tho
second from tho stago on the right
Don't forgot to glance that wny, now
and then."
A look of pain clouded' the fair face,
but he could not seo it in the shadows,
and with n' last warm pressuro of ber
band he was gone.
"I wonder if he does think of mo
still as a child?" she mused. "I won
der if ho never suspects tho storm
within? Woll"-
Sho smiled triumphantly. "I'll toll
hlra something tonight in my song!"
Nnn was not ln an amlablo mood
when Stuart led her to tho box in tho
millionaire's playhouse which New
York society built to exhibit ita gowns,
Jewelry and beautiful women.
As tho moment for HarsleFa nppear
anco drow mear, Stuart's nervous ten
sion boenmo n positlvo agony. The
pooplo wero In a friendly mood of ex
pectancy. Tho fact that sho was an
American girl and from New York was
greatly ln her favor.
Tho audionco greeted her appear
ance with a burst of applauso and
waited for tho first note.
Stuart was charmed with tho effect
of her personality in tho character, be
fore sho moved. Tho long, beautiful
golden hair, tho innocent young face
and her simple girlish costumo made
an Instantaneous Impression.
With tho first sweet note from her
throat overy fear vanished. Sho sang
simply, quietly, exquisitely, without
effort as a bird sings because the
song bubbles from within. A ripple
of surprised comment swept tho audi
onco and burst into vigorous applauso
at tho closo of her song. From start
to finish Harriet received a continuous
ovation. Tho audlenco rose ln their
seats and greeted her with such a
tribute of enthusiasm Now York had
rarely seen.
When Stuart had fought his way
through tho crowd and reached the
stago ho found her alono with her fa
ther ln her room. Her head was rest
ing on his breast, and ho was stroking
tho fair young forehead with tender,
caressing touch.
Stuart turned away from tho scene
and left them alono for a few mo
ments. Ho found Nan and asked her
to wait for him at tho stago door In
ber automobllo until ho could give
Harriet his congratulations.
Sho consented with a frown and bog
ged him to hurry.
Her father was still thero, and a
crowd of musicians, singers and crit
ics wcro waiting in a group outsldo to
offer their congratulations. Sho was
holding them back until his arrival.
"My glorious Httlo pall" ho whisper
ed, his voice choking with emotion.
"I'm tho proudest man in tho world
tonight"
"It's all your work, Jim," sho said
simply. "You suggested and willed it.
and I'vo made good under your inspi
ration. I'd rather seo tho happiness
on your faco and hear your words of
approval than ail tho applauso of that
crowd."
Ho turned and saw Nan standing ln
the doorway with a curious smllo on
her flushed faco.
"Mav I. too. offer my congratula
tions, MIs3 Woodman?" sho asked.
Harriot's Httlo 'flguro suddenly sClT
ened nt tho sight of Nan, but at tho
sound of her friendly volco relaxed
and moved to meet tho extended hand.
"Thank you, Mrs. Blvens," sho re
plied cordially.
And then Stunrt did something that
sent a shock through every fiber of
Nan's being.
As easily and natnra!ly as a big
brother ho slipped ono of hla long
arms around Harriet and looked down
with frank admiration into her eyes.
"You sec, Nnn, sho's mlpe. I raised
her from a woo Httlo mito. And this
was such a cruel and dangerous exper
imentshe had no chanco. It was im
possible, but, God lalcss her, sbo did
it!"
Nan mado up her mind Instantly to
act on a plan that liad been vaguely
"You see, Nan, she's mine."
forming and tempting her for the past
months. It was her trump card. Sho
had hesitated to play it, but shcr would
do it now without delay.
