CHAPTER

Oue evenlng in the April of 1884 the tram-car was trundling slowly in from San Paolo Fnori le Mori. The flickering flight of the lamps foil u(ka the dingy habits of six monks on their castomary way into Rome for the night, a couple of peasants, and two foreigners, the one an

English gentleman abont 30, the other an ,3 American somewhat younger. A thnnderstorm was without, large drops of rain were already falling thickly npon tire windows which the l. .»t within turned to .slate color. A light cloud of tobacco smoke was curling about the heads of several of the passenger.*, the American's big cigar outdoing the cigarettes of the others.

He had soon found out that, the Englishman had been visiting the English cemetery at the request of a friend he had left in Naples, and not to see Keat's tomb, which had been his

r9l

object, This led

him to ask as many questions about Naples as he could think of, and to express his curiosity concerning the object of an independent traveler having chosen that time for visiting Naples, then heavily stricken with cholera. "They quarantined you, sir, I guess?" he aemarked. "I was fearfully fumigated," answered the Englishman. Then h? went on to'extol the wonderful exertions of his friend the Swedish doctor there, and to ssCy that he himself had fallen ill, and had been sent away as no longer of any use. The subject was.interesting, and they discussed it until an interruption occurred.

The bell sounded, the car stopped, and a man entered quickly, with the rain running in rills from his hat and shoulders, and seated himself opposite the two, who, like himself, were foreigners.

There Is always something that strikes one as weird in alighted vehicle moving along through a dark night. The contrast of the rain, darkness, and sttfrm-mutter-ings without, and the glitter within, in which the silent living ilgures showed up in vivid light and shade, struck the Englisliman with fresh force, as the ncwcomer arrested his special attention by something ho could scarcely define, that at once attracted and repulsed him. More than once lie caught his

somber,

brilliant

eyes fixed upon him from under the shade of a felt hat. An absurd fancy struck him that he was traveling tvlth a being from another world, who was somehow bound tip with'his own fate. He watched him furtively, and saw him lean forward with an indifferent air to read the initials on a small valise he himself had between his feet. Tne American, who had done the same, observed this too, and said to his neighbor: "Now, sir, I never remember seeing such queer letters as yours for the initials of an Englishman, as I take yfu to be.

The young man laughed slightly at this frank curiosity. "O. Q.Q. Well, perhaps i,t is an unusual combination. I never hoard of another family called by my name, Questin, though for all that we do not boast any spoclal blueness in our blood,"

The car stopped again and the conductor looked in, gesticulating to the latest comer. He, however, shook his head, and signed to him to go on, aud no one got out until the car reached its resting place. "Sir," said the American, as he stepped off the car, "there is my c*rd. If you ever come to the States, there Is one man there who will give you a welcome, or any other man who has been risking his life by his own free will among cholera victims, as I guess you have, and that man is 'Septimus S. Perkins.'" Wherewith he nodded, and slipping his card into the other man's hand, disappeared under his umbrella. 's

The Englishmen did the like, and thought no more of S. S. Perkins, until three days later he mot him again. "Say." began Mr. Perkins, "do you ever carry such a thlug as a bouble about with yon?"

Mr. Questin, surprised and amused, demanded an explanation. "Only," rejoined Septimus Perkins, "that gentleman who got into the tramcar with us Tuesday evening was. I take it, cut out of the same bit of cloth as yourself without any alterations. You must be a good sort that a couple of you are needed in the world. You look at yourself iu the glass next time you feel at loggerheads with mankind, and there you'll see him." "I fancied the face was familiar to me. but didn't think o£ my own," said Mr Questin. "Hut guess that. don't matter, if yon were not out too late that same evening,* went on Mr. Perkins "you look liko want ing quinine and brandy pretty stiff."

Questin acknowledged that ho had not felt very well since, that he had been imprudent coming back so late, and that he was not sufficiently recovered from his illness in Naples to ike such liberties with Roman sundown.

This was the extent of his acquaintance with Sef tiuin* Perkins, but it carried with it certain consequences, to bo hereafter developed.

A fortnigm taier on the night mall fori Paris was stopping at the long, dark platform of Bel fort, on the frontier. All passengers were called out by the guard, who ran, lantern In hand, along the train, and porters were tumbling out the luggage iu in a manner exasperating to the owners. The chill air smote them as they descended, bags in hand, unwillingly aroused from wraps and slumbers.

Osmund Questin was one of the passengers he had taken a fauteuiMit, and, as it happened that the train was somewhat empty, had been able by a judicious bribe or two to secure his carriage to himself. It was a dark night the moon raced the heavy clouds, and was oftener than not blotted out by them. He could not sleep and had been watching her, sunk to her pnle-t»lue halo, the brown and silver edges the clouds sweeping along to all appearances «ith or over her. Then, light? Ing a small traveling-lamp, he wrote a post-card, which he handed to the Inspector when he gave up his keys, with a douceur for the trouble of posting it

He was a well-made, good-lookiag fellow, with strongly marked features, but now looked pinched and colorless, and dark abont the eyes.

He shivered, and buttoned his coat tightly round him. When the cabalistic check marks had been made, and he had eaten some sonp, he hastened back to his carriage, which stood beyond the rays of light from the infirequeut lamps, and threw himself into the midst of his fur rag*. With a lighted cigarette between his lips, and his furs drawn closely round, he hoped to subside

gradually into sleep. He was weary, and inclined to sleep, having taken some eau de vie at the re-freshment-room, and, closing ci"es and ears, he fell almost at once into pleasant drowsiness.

The tramp of feet, the chatter of tongues ceased, door after door banged? the train began to make unearthly noises.

Just as a slSiw movement passed through its length, Questin started, up, fancying he heard his own door open^f ^Qui va la?" he called out, and no answer "came, and seeing no moving object, he concluded that it had been oue of those sndden starts, for which circulation or digestion are answerable, that unpleasantly visit a sleep 3r in his own bed, as well as in a situation where a strange sound occurs every minute.

So far, Osmund Questin. cnAPTEll II. In a small flat on Camden Hill that post-card was anxiously expected by the young lady to whom it was addressed, "Miss Garnham' No. —, St. Philip's ^Gardens. When it arrived, as it did at the proper time, the sight of the closely-scrib-bled yellowish square was sweet indeed to her, though the foreign stamp showed how far off he was. No, not so far off to-day as when he wrote it," she said to herself,' as with a smile that meant a protest against her folly, she softly kissed the un tempting morsel of paper.

Soft gray eyes, with your shadows and brown fringes wise, sweet mouth of the pink coral hue of health firm, oval face, with the straightforward look of a trusty soul how often you had been pictured in the long nights of sickness and the short hours of rest between work, loathsome and holy, done in that stricken city of Napics.

Out of thei&reck of a very bright painted, light-winged ship of life, but two, dearer than herself had been saved- to Anastasia Garnham.

These two were her little sister Lottie and "her humble and loving servaut to command," Osmund Questin.

He had indeed been this and ffibrifto the queen elected of his heart two years back, and this ho had quietly, without any hot oaths, declared he would ever continue to be, though his gouty old father threatened to hold the door against the bride for as long as he lived, and bequeath him a shilling when he died if he ventured to cross his stubborn will even then.

Mr. Questiii, senior, had put it plainly to his son, who was his only living child. Hiul his own father started with a hod and a tro vel, or had he not? Had he built up for himself an immense fortune? Had he left it all to him, cutting off his elder aud younger brothers because one smoked and the other parted his hair down the middle, or not? Was it lik^y that he, having cherish«cl this massive fortune and lived always in view of his responsibility toward it, should deliberately put it into the hands of one of that butterfly, spendthrift, irresponsible .lot, the Garnhams? Nay, the daughter of that very man who had ignored, snubbed, and otherwise affronted him personally? Osmund might marry any other girl he chose but he would hear no more of any Garnham, be it the prettiest lass that ever was born to that handsome, worthless family. Osmund's mother had been a lady of good blood, but home-staying and sensible let him look out for such another.

Having said that no Garnham could be worth her salt, no spoken evidence in the world would have made him alter hi? opinion. He was not a vulgar old man, but, on the contrary, well read and highly respected, afraid of no man, currying favor with none, and Osmund had a strong affection for him. This made matters more difficult, because he had to aim at the reconciliation of two impossibilities.

Having been to Cambridge, ho decided that there was enough to do in the- world for a willing man with.brains and health, without crowding into one of the overcrowded professions. "What is mine is yours, my boy," said his father until the question of marriage arose.

Of all the girls, Osmund naturally set his heart upon the one his father most objected to, was the elder daughter of the late ruined squire of the Warwickshire parish, in which Questin hall, his own place, was situated. And now came the deadlock, because even if Osmund had been able to find anything to do, which he had not, Tasia would have refused to marry him against the will of his father that is, without giving the jealous old man plenty oi tune to change his mind.

A letter next time, not a post-card that anyone can read." thought Tasia, but to hers irprisc, post after post went by withuut uiinging it.

Lottie, for the sake of whose schooling they lived in London, had a supply of explanations on hand for the comfort of her sister, but- one night Tasia heard her stifling sobs, and she made the confession in the dark that she believed that wicked old ogre, -Mr. Questin. had by some great exercise of tyrrany got his son to swear to break with them forever—"with us," Lottie sobbed, claiming her share in Osmund.

Disloyalty on the part of the lover who had never vexed her soul with the trifling cruelties common to the race of lovers appeared impossible to Anastasia, whose own faith was entire, so that the blow which presently fell upon her was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. When she was sick with hope deferred, came abetter from Paris, so constrained in tone? and dwelling so hopelessly upon the barrier raised between them by his father's opposition, that it needed not the brevity for which he excused himself by saying that he had hurt his hand, to show the poor girl with cruel distinctness that she was virtually forsaken.

Horrible blow to her love, her pride, her hopes*—nay, it destroyed even the past that had worn too false a sweetness, for it proved his heart to have been unsound, his mind wavering all through.

For

Lottie's sake she tried to rouse herself, but succeeded indifferently. Dragging herself to the task, she wrote to frea him from the engagement, and read the answer which came by return of post with a bitter contempt that only added more cutting pain to the wound.

Doubtless he had fallen in with some woman who had for him so strong a fascination that his old dear admiring love for her had sunk into a passing fancy. And yet, how conk! any sadden attraction have so deep and true an existence as that gradually developed affection In which all the best part of his nature had been called out?

Slowly covering her incurable wound, she looked around her—ah, the world was full of inexplicable wrongs aad transformations she wondered she had never noticed it before and ceasing to wonder at her own share in them she resolved to guard Lottie from such treacheries. Lot

tie should be hsr»ll-he «rtctl. and give all her love to learning, for books betray not, knowledge certainly rewards its lovers: and she wonld rather see her in spectacles, with short, unkempt hair, -than wasting her heart on a tnan, who is unstable as water.

And so, with gallant striving to fill up the rent made by falsehood with wisdom of practice and learning, Tasia learned to creep through-three long months with iron yoke instead of wings upon her shoul ders.' Neither the first nor the last, in very trnth—but it takes courage^ and that of no mean order.

While Lottie was at school she spent her time at the British museum, and wrote a few little articles, and made charming translations, some of which found, their way into a magazine.

At the very end of July, when only those who could not_get away were still in town, she and Lottie dined »with friends, and went after dinner into the illuminated horticultural gardens. Lottie had been promised to see the fountains playing, and the party was chiefly on her account.

Among the two or three other guests was Dick Sherrieff, a cousin of the family, who had gone on the stage, aud was so far successful that now and she he gob an engagement for a leading part in a touring company. He-was a qn:et, pleasr ant fellow, with a good-looki ig, disappointed face. Ho aud An.vst isia, who were old acquaintances, found t.iemselves together when they entered the gardens, and he fell into somewhat confidential talk, finding her sympathetic. Lottie roamed about in ecstacies with the colored beads of light in strings, festoons, and mocking the fruit of the trees of Aladdin's garden, with the fairy buildings starred out against the indigo sky, above all with the foamy fountains dancing on high like so many of Undine's relations mantled superbly in colored lights.

Anastasia and Sherieff found a quiet seat at a comfortable position from the. band. People were walking and sitting all round them, and tliey amused themselves by watching the groups. "Shall we move away from the smoke of that cigar,". Mr.* Sherrieff asked presently. "I'm afraid it comes across your face. By Jove!" This la3t exclamation was to himself as he distinctly cauglic the profile of the smoker.

Anastasia followed Ws gatzfi andtnfrfed ghastly pale. Osmund Questin's face, his clean cut, aquilino profile,-his marked eyebrows, his crisp mustache some shades lighter than his hair—worn a trifle longer than formerly—even'the heavy intaglio ring on the hand now raised to his cigarall were before her. The beating of her heart almost choked her she was afraid' her companion might Hear her sobbing breath aud see that she trembled from head to foot. She must get the better of the icy pain somehow. Love—the lieartlessness of his last letter killed that—but, oh, the anguish! There had even been hinted reproach to her for pot having broken off the engagement before she writhed at the thought of it. "And how I deceived mysult in my blindness," she thought, bitterly. "I see now in his face what I ought to have seen before—cold self-seeking. He must have altered gradually, for no one could now be attracted by the look of goodness I fancied I_ could see." "You know that man?" she asked young Sherrieff.

So far that once he tried his fortunes on the stage at Manchester in the company with which I was acting. His nam# -If Questin pretty good on the stage, no good Off, I imagine. He seems pretty happy now. Come back^rom the 'road to ruin' by the looks of him, with the heavj^father reconciled."

No doubt tho old gentleman with red face and double eye-glasses, who was speaking emphatically at that moment, was Mr. Questin, Sr. |1§ "Can't go on, I teiryou. What. want to know is, what does it mean? I know, I know it's all a trick to get my consent to your marrying that little hussy."

Anastasia made a strong effort, and rose, "We do not want to b* taken into family confidences," she said, with a face so pale and constrained that Dick Sherrieff was startled.

But it was not so easy to extricate themselves all at once from the second row of seats in which they were for other persons had come in after them. Tasia dreaded to hear Osmund's voice in answer, and her own head was swimming, her ears throbbing, so that When he spoke the words were partly muffled, yet she could not help listening with passionate eagerness. Perhaps something he said might make his conduct appear less black. If so, it might save a shred of her torn self-re-spect. "I told yon, my dear father, that I regretted extremely having been such a fool as to allow that young lady to stand between you and me. I was mistaken in her. I have good reasons to know that you were right, and I was wrong, and the affair is wholly at an end—"

He happened to turn, as Anastasia passed out, to knock off the end of his cigar. The ash touched her dres3, he begged her pardon, lif ed his hat, and looked her in the face. For an instant—snch instants are comprehensive—their eyes met, each gating Into the other's. The pause on Anastasia's part was perceptible to her companion. "Mr. Sherrieff," she said, "I feel rather giddy, I think—shall wo uot find another seat? cannot walk jus at tli^T moment"

That something was more than a Utile wrong he did not doubt: he qnietly steered her to a chair out of the lamplight and waited for further orders. She remained profoundly silent, in that still silence suggestive of strong underworkings. "Will yon answer me a question upon your honor, Mr. Sherrieff?" she asked at length. "I will," he answered: "I am sure you will not put an impossible one."

No—just this: Have you observed anything abont me which would lead yon to doubt- my perfect sanity? Am I like a person who could be the subject of a hallucination—or anything temporary of that kind?" "If that is alt, I can honestly assure yon, Misa Garnham, that I feel the utmost confidence in your clearness of mind—It

was just that t!iiu struck me ia you at

once.' She heaved a deep sigh. "Thank yon. Now tell me all yon remember abont that Mr. Qnestin, please it is of great importance to me?" "Really, I hardly exchanged two words with him, though I was in company with htm more or leas for three weeks, but we did net play in the same piece, and did not fancy him particularly, to say the troth.** •'Shonld yon hate considered him a good

kina oi man, one who wouia prooaoiy interest himself in philanthropic work? Or' at aty scientific—who had studied medicine, for the sake of being useful?"

Sherrieff looked unfeigne&ly astonished. "Why, no rather the reverse of all that— an idler pure et simple, or only laboring for his own ends."v"'"And yet," she said, "I knew Mr. Questin's son for more than four years well, for two years very well, and that was the sort of man he' was."

Dick looked embarrassed/ "I dare say yon thought so, Miss Garnham. Some men are such avsrful liars—I mean—humbugs—where women are concerned. But really, perhaps you might have idealized him without beinng aware of it,* you know." "Yes," "She answefcetl, is possible, and human nature is inconsistent, I know that. And yet, Mr. Sherrieff, will you be so kind as to take me as close to that uian as possible? And may I a*k you as a favor to find out for me where he is stopping? It is of* immeasurable importance." "I am quite at your service—if you want to know more I will find out." '"Whatever you can," she said, earnestly- "I cannot tell you why, but later on—" "Never mind—I have faith in you, and you shall see by my .acquittance of this trust how far you can\ depend oa me. It •& a pact."

Tliey went back, and seated themselves where Anastasia could best observe the Questins—father and son. "Next to the stage, give me a bit of detective work," Dick said to himself. He really had faith that he was not being made use of to gratify some hysterical freak. Anastasia's face and manner were his warrant against that."

In two days Dick brought liis note-book to Miss Garnham. "Stopping with old father at the 'Langham.' Lately come from abroad. Spends money like water—rich people with some sort of place in Warwickshire—only son. No intimate friends. Very few letters." "Please give me something else to do for you I am tremendously interested."

i|tef*You

know, perhaps, that I had special

reason to be interested in Mr. Osmund Questin," Tasia said in a low voice. "I understand that you were engaged, in short, but the girls never told nie to whom. I see." "And now, Mr. Sherrieff. I am going to say what may make you think me mad, but which I trust to yott not to repeat, not to hint to any living person: That man is not Osmund Questin." "If ever I did astonishment as well on the boards as at that moment my fortune would be made," Dick said long after. He was simply astounded. "Who—who the—who is he, then, Miss Garnham?" "That is what I mean to find out—and "where—"

Here she stopped,- turning very pale. Dick looked away from her, knowing her thought. If so, where, indeed, was poor Osmund? There was but one answer: In the grave, or this impostor would _never have dared represent him. "When our eyes met, as he apologized for knocking his cigar ashes on my dress, there was not a gleam of recognition in his," she went on. "He looked at me as at a perfect stranger that was what suddenly convinced me. The more I looked after that the more certain was, though the likeness is so wonderful that it has to me the horrible effect of another spirit having got into that body. Only I——. His father evidently believes that he is his son." "Have you thought what strong evidence that is." v, V' "Yes, but my certainty is stronger." "Has it occurred to you that Osmund Questin may have met with some bad accident, or had an illness that affected his mind? That would account for everything." "Yes, but it would not make front teeth that were side by side fold dver one another slightly."

Dick could not forbear a smile. "Well," he said, "there have been some uncommonly queer cases of mistaken identity, even to scars turning up in the right spot but never mind, what do you want me to do?" "At first I meant to go myself to Belfort, and trace him onward, but, on thinkiug it over, I have decided that a man can do so much better than a woman in such a case and therefore, if. as you tell me yott have nothing to do at present, you AVould be so kind as to act for me—of course," she added, coloring, "at my own expense—and as a commission to be settled on quite a business footing, I shall bo more, oh, much more than obliged. Do you think £50 would do to begin with? You must tell me, because I do not know, and later on I could get more."

Dick would have asked for nothing better than to undertake the adventure at his own expense, but it was absolutely impossible to the poor fellow, so he took the straightforward proposal in the best manner possible, declaring that £50 would go an enormous way, and that, unless bribery were called into play, he should hope to spend less, and that as for anything over and above expenses {which he silently resolved should not include his own living), that was out of the question, and he was much obliged for the chance.

All was very speedily arranged, and then poor Anastasia looked over the list of all the salvage of the family wreck. tjfae loved every article of it, every bit of old plate, jewelry, china, old daniauk half belonged to Lottie, but they had been valued and ulvide-i. and if she could get mouey in no other way she would sell her half at Christie's. She was obliged to consult Dick Sherrieff abont it, and he was most u-.sh.ippy at the notion of the sacrifice thongb it was not for hiia to nrevent it Finally she picked out a pearl necklace and ear-ring* and some bits of plate, and sold them for rather more than she had expected. Seventy pounds in crisp notes she handed over to Dick, who said it was his first experience of money responsibilities.

CHATTER III.

The post-card from Belfort was also to Dick's hands, two photograpbs of Osmund "A Questin, and his last letters from Rome,

nwtaria't had been the bold

one of advertising lor Mr* Septimus S. Perkins in the Timc#, the New York Herald, and Lc Petit Journal, giving Anastasia's address and Dick's Paris hoteL

The Al thing Dick ascertained was that the proper number of tickets taken for Paris on the day Osmand Qnestin traveled through were delivered Bp. Hia next ttep •as an exhaustive search for his name throughout the Paris hotels. He was soon able to inform Anastasia, whom he chose to call his client that he had discovered

it at "The Bristol." At "The Bristol" he had evidently stopped for several weeks, but nothing special could bo gathered about him beyond his having been remarked for his wonderful skill at billiards. From thence he was traced by the aid of a detective tip to the very day of quitting France for England. The history was clear and commonplace, and Dick began tn feel he had let himself in for rather au absurd chase after a phantom fancy.

However, while he lingered unwilling to throw it up yet, a card was one day put into his hand, and a brisk little gentleman immediately stepped up, and shaking hands warmly, announced himself to be no other than Mr. Septimus S. Perkins. "And now, sir, what d'ye want with me? I rather expected to see Mr. Osmuud Q. Questin, but I guess you like that gentleman." •'I'm delighted to make your acqxVfuutance, though," rejoined Dick. ^I've come over to trace Mr. Qnestiu, and want all the information I can get." "You don't mean he's missing? I thought he was in for a very severe sickness when ws parted, but if he fell sick on the way surely he didn't die without wiring his friends?" "He seems, on the contrary, to have fetched Paris in excellent health," said Dick. Then Mr. Perkins gave a circumstantial account of every hour he had spent in Osmund's company, which were not very many. "It wasn't that we hoped you could toll us much, but you were the last friend he named in his letters. Here's his face da you recognize it?" Dick continued, plac ing the photographs before Mr. Perkins. "Yes," he said, examining them "that's him, but. oddly enough, they remind me of a trilling incident that had slipped my memory. A mau got into that car while Ave were coming along tho outskirts oi Rome city, more liko our friend than ever I saw twin bears. Droll? Mr. Questin didn't particularly notice it." 'Didn't they know one another?'* "Not they and didn't meet again, so far as I know." "Ah, there we are, you know, just where we were," said Dick, disconsolately. "I'd better tell you the whole story," ho went on. "That's what I meant to have when 1 answered that advertisement that got hurled at me through three organs."
