(Continued.) 'You know who she is?" I exclaimed. "I have known for several days," he replied. "I am not yet ready to- tell you. When I am ready, it will be the last word you will hear from me in some time. Now don't ask me any questions. There is a strange complication here, and it may as well be solved all at once perhaps tomorrow, perhaps the next day. Leave it to the future. As to the present, don't write that letter. If you have anything to say to your father, ask him to come out here and have a talk." I glanced out of the window and saw Jimmy Lamoine in the wagon that went to town. 5 "Hold on," I called to him. "I want you to take a letter in for me." I wrote it in 20 seconds on the lines that Mr. Derringer had suggested. CHAPTER XII. MY ADVENTURE AND BCOVEL'S. SAW Derringer again after dinner, and he persuaded me to go out upon the road. "You and ,1 need a little general conversation," he said. "We think too much about our own affairs. We're getting sentimental. Let's smoke strong tobacco this evening and discuss the business of the world. Trask and Scovel will help us." Personally I would have preferred to go down to the lake, but I recognized the force of Derringer's remark. We found Trask on the road, but his companion was Mr. Witherspoon, whom a west wind had wafted to the eastern border of the estate. "Scovel has been gone all day," said the artist. "Pedestrian tour, I guess. He took a fieldglass with him, as if he intended to find some views." "Hope he didn't go over to the hill." remarked Mr. Witherspoon. "It's a terrible place for snakes." And he proceeded in his soft and apologetic voice to tell us harrowing tales of copperheads and black snakes, rattlers and "hooples." He was in, the midst of such a narration when I perceived Scovel coming along the road. Twilight still lingered, and there was enough to reveal that the lawyer had tramped hard and was very weary. "We were Just speaking of you, Mr. Scovel," said Witherspoon. "We were hoping that you hadn't been over on the hill." - ij. He put his left hand upon the small of his back, the palm being outward, and seemed to straighten his spine by a slow pressure in that region, and then he coughed gently, not because he had any ailment requiring him to do so, but as a general expression of dissatisfaction with his physical condition. Scovel waited . for this characteristic performance to be finished before he spoke. "No," said he, "I haven't been near the hill." "Well, you just came by the edge of it," ventured Mr. Witherspoon. "IIowever, the snakes never come out into the road. Most curious thinsr can't be duplicated in the state, I'll wager. The ' hill's full of them, but you might as well look for snakes on an iceberg uuauug iu i tic uiiuuie ui Lilt; utcau txa on this farm. I've lived here more'n half a century, boy and man, and never saw one of 'em anywhere but on the hill." Scovel leaned against the fence, and I saw a shudder run through him. Then he shook himself together, straightened up and started for the house. "I've walked a long way," he said. "I'm hungry as a wolf." I noticed as he walked away that he looked uneasily behind him upon the ground, to the right and to the left. No one else seemed to observe the pe culiarity of his manner, and we did not discuss him after he had gone. Instead we encouraged Mr. Witherspoon to tell more snake stories, and he "obliged" with some that make my blood run cold to this day whenever I think of them. By and by my attention began to wander. There was a suggestion of music in the air; no more than that I could not say I heard it. But I became uneasy and glanced down toward the lake shore to see if I could detect the glow of a fire. The moon had now be come bright, and if the fire burned upon the rocks it threw no visible gleam upward. So I lingered awhile upon the road until the thought that I might be wasting my best delight of those days impelled me to make sure. As I passed the house, I caught a glimpse of Lucy Ann's gray gown and bonnet in the main porch. The girl was leaning against a post of the trellis, as if watching the moon which shone above the lull. Her face looked so haggard, old and weary that I halted suddenly when first I saw it among tbe leaves. She had not noticed me till then, and she sprang back, startled. Perhaps she thought I could not see that she put up both hands to her face, but I could well perceive the gesture despite the screen of foliage. Upon the instant I spoke her name, but she pretended not to hear and hurried into the house. It cut my heart to know that the poor child suffered thus, and I felt ashamed to. hav intruded upon lier

n n Tiy ... Hotejczrd Fielding grler". She bore it so wen when under observation that it seemed doubly regrettable to have surprised her in the moment of her confession to the caressing night. The girl ought to go away. It would be much better for her to go than for Trask. I wondered, walking down toward the lake, whether it would be possible to speak to Mrs. Witherspoon upon the subject with sufficient delicacy. Somehow she did not figure in my mind as one who would be easy to approach upou such a matter, and my own years scarcely fitted me for the role that I should have to play in the scene. It might be possible for my father to suggest a better way. He would surely pity her, the more because it was Sibyl who had won the love that poor little Lucy Ann's heart starved for. It was incredible that "Miss Jones" should not have seen the pitiful romance so near her, so closely involved with her own, but she was doubtless busy with her own trouble, the dreadful peril that she might have to marry me in order to pay the lifelong debt of gratitude that she owed my father. The thought made me laugh, especially because I was on my way to hear her sing, to play at love with a voice and pretend I did not know whose it Avas. And that view of the matter brought me the recollection of my talk with Derringer and his assertion that I was wholly in error. I prayed to the moon that Derringer might be right as I loosed the boat from her moorings and floated out into the lake. When I came into the range of the fire, I saw it dimmer than usual, yet that might be no more than the effect of the moonlight. At the proper distance I halted and then sang the first bar of the Swiss song. There was no response. I tried "Heart's Delight" with the same result, and meanwhile the fire surely waned. I looked at my watch and was surprised to find that it was nearly 10 o'clock. The girl had given me up and returned to the apple tree lodge. Given me up? This was taking for granted that she prized these evenings as I did, and I had not the right to do it. "Miss Jones" could have no interest in sing ing with me. It would be hardly fair to Trask. Yet beyond a doubt it was the girl who sang, and Trask had sent lilies to her. If she were not "Miss Jones," why, that again was hardly fair, and if the girl were not Sibyl there could be no explanation of anything. At this point-in my mental confusion the boat's bow whirled round with a little gust and grated upon the ledge, as once before. I glanced quickly at the fire. It continued to glow. There could be no one on the rocks. Instantly I conceived a deed of daring sweeter than all the petty larcenies and depredations of my youth in the little village where we used to spend our summers the stealing of apples from Dyar's red tree to which the bulldog was chained, the midnight alarm runS br Deacon Hobart's horse tied by his taiI to the heU roPe of tlje church, tbe assortment of gravestones from the 1 made the landing with great care. marble yard set up In a grewsome and suggestive row on Dr. Westcott's lawn. The joy of all these feats and the sentiment of May baskets fastened by trembling hands upon the doorknob of my sweetheart's house a different doorknob every year, thanks to the blessed Inconstancy of boyhood these were revived in my heart when I decided to go ashore. It was taboo, but I would dare it. I made the landing with great care and stepped out upon a rock with as much caution as If It had been thin ice. At the water's edge the rocks were piled as irregularly as if they had been poured out of a giant's basket, but back of them there lay two flat topped bowlders of an even height, making a floor nearly SO feet long, divided in a line parallel to the shore by a fissure wide as a grave and deep as half a dozen, as I guessed after dropping a little stone into It. The fire was built upon an iron grating laid across this fissure and secured at one side by a chain fastened to an eyebolt set into the rock. I judged that this apparatus had to do with fish dinners cooked beside the lake. It x-

plained sufficiently the sudden extinc

tion of the fire which had puzzled me. It needed no more than a pull upon the chain to send the lire down into the rift. Behind the rearward bowlder the ledge rose ten feet, rounded like the Inside of a cup, and from its summit there was a gentle slope to meet th descending grade of the orchard. At the little cliff's foot was a singular conformation of the rocks where one might recline in great comfort, and upon taking my place there I discovered that it was possible to look out upon the lake without being greatly dazzled by the fire and still be almost entirely shielded from observation. This intrusion was a most agreeable sin, a thing to enjoy in the doing and be pleasantly ashamed of afterward. I lay some minutes in this nook of the rocks, curious to reconstruct our little romance as the girl had seen it. I saw how the firelight was screened by the rocks so that I had not been able to discern it until I had drifted into the proper field. In the same way my boat must have appeared suddenly to one sitting there. I was flattered by the idea that she had watched for it. In the midst of this thought I expe rienced a sensation familiar to every one, but almost beyond rational explanationthe consciousness of being observed. I neither saw nor heard; my own senses gave no tidings the live with which we are ordinariIy""credited. With what faculty we apprehend another person's observation of us I have never been able to guess. It happens, however. It happened then. I glanced upward. The curving Up of the ledge made a clear gray line upon the sky. There was a singular illusion of height; the rock towered above me as 1 .ay almost prone. 1 hen suddenly I was aware of something fluttering downward. It startled me because it seemed to be falling all the way from the sky. I thrust up my hand and caught a rose, also a very large and competent thorn, but that is a matter of no consequence. In an instant I was upon my feet, posed like the lady martyr in the fa miliar picture of "The Last Token," looking, as she did, for my love who had flung the rose. I forget what luck she had in this matter, according to the legend. As for me, I had none. Even when I had scaled the rock I saw not so much as the flutter of a skirt among the shadows of the orchard. One thing, however, I saw clearly enough in the light of the moon. The rose was one of those that I had gathered on Copperhead hill. It jnay have been nearly 11 o'clock when I got back to the house. There was a man sitting alone on the door steps of my segment of the structure, and when he lifted his face to the moon I recognized Scovel. "Been out on the lake, I suppose," said he. "Another serenade, eh?" Then he began to laugh, softly, nervously, as If he didn't mean to do it. A half consumed cigar fell from his fingers, and he put his foot upon it. "Come inside," said I, "and get a fresh one." - .- "Thank you," he replied, "I've smoked enough." Yet he arose with alacrity and followed me into my room. "Perhaps you smoke when you'renervous, as I do," said I. "For In stance, if I were wandering over that hill and had seen two or three snakes" "Two or three!" he echoed, throwing up his hands. "So you were there? I was sure of it. And I know why you went." His countenance expressed increduli ty, but something that he saw in mine seemed to convince him. "Well," said he, with a faint note of defiance, "what do you think of it?" "I don't think it was quite right," I replied. "Now, look here," said he, "how long was I to go on in that way? How long was I to permit myself to be a complete idiot about a girl without knowing whether she was black or white?" "Did you see her?" I asked. He arose from his chair and tried another, arising again to walk to the mantelpiece for a match, though there were plenty on the table beside him In plain view. He struck the match aud then forgot to light the cigar that I had given him. "I've enjoyed this foolishness," he said. "That's the main thing, after all. The emotions were given us for self deception. We were to use them wisely to gloss over this world, for the plain sight of it would drive us away. It is love that makes woman beautiful; love In us, you know. It isn't really necessary to see them." "In that case." said I, "why did you go out on the hill with those fieldglass es? Your philosophy must have changed since morning." "Not my philosophy," he rejoined, "but there's a limit." I began to grow cold. "Scovel," 1 cried, "what do you mean?" "That hill's an awful place," he said, Ignoring my question. "I got lost, though one would say there wasn't room enough. But the rocks are all Jumbled together. It takes a man an hour to walk a quarter of a mile, and the little scrubbed trees hide everything. If I know anything about geology, that formation should be on the north side of the lake instead of on the south." "Blast geology!" said I. "Did you see her?" "The ancient mariner shot the albatross," he replied, "and the others by approving became partners in his crime. They accepted the good weather as you will accept my information. Yes," he added, with a groan, "I saw her." "Don't tell me anything about It," said I, setting'a firm heel on the neck of my curiosity. "I don't want to know." "I had noticed how she sat when she was sketching at the foot of the or-
