CHAPTER IX.—Continued. 13— These were busy days for Fitzhugh, days filled with suspense and excitement and acute money fever. By the end of the year his entire capital was tled up in spring wheat, which was lurching and plunging like a sinking ship; and every downward swoop drove his fortune upward. Though Fitzhugh's money was all on paper he was growing rich with galloping leaps, and already he was planning a deal to follow that might send his fortune soaring toward the million mark. It was in the beginning of March, while the Metropolitan Opera company was playing a two weeks' engagement at the Auditorium, that he received (through Artie) at his club an invitation to a box party given by Mrs. Otis. “Well, well, tell us how you managed It.” “I told her,” sputtered Artie, choking with mirth, “I told her I had a frightfully aristocratic fellow putting up at my place who was all the talk of Lunnon. Mondays and Wednesdays are her opera nights, don’'tcher know, and she’'d just been telling me that a chap who was to have rounded out her party tonight had falled her at the last moment, and then I mentioned this frightfully aristocratic fellow, and I saw her prick up her ears, and before I left she told me to bring him along. She doesn't know, don'tcher know, It's you, and she’ll be dreadfully—" “Her daughter will be there?” “Oh, yes, indeed. She was in the room at the time. She'll be dreadfully surprised, too.” “No doubt. Sparkle, you've got the brain of a Napoleon. Going home? Then I'll take you out in my car.” They left the Union league club together and entered Fitzhugh's new 80-horse power sutomobile glistening at the curb. - - - - - - - The* perennial favorite, “La Boheme,” was sung that evening. In spite of Mrs. Otis (who had borne Artie's “surprise” with commendable composure, sending only one terrifyIng glance at that rash joker), Fitzhugh contrived to sit near Kathleen, ‘maKing love to her, saying little by word of mouth but speaking volumes with eye and mien. It was near the end of act two, and he did not know whether “Mimi"” was making merry with the Bohemians in the Quartier Latin or dying of starvation in *“Rodolfo’s” attic, and he did not know whether Mrs. Otis was watching him or discussing with the lady next her a corset display In Michigan avenue, that his hand found Kathleen's and smothered it In a burning pressure. “I have loved you,” murmured he, very close to her ear, ‘“for three years, Today, in fact, is the anniversary—the second of March. Three years ago today I found this"—from under his cuff he slipped a dainty handkerchief of exquisite lace and dropped it in her lap. *I loved its owner then. I love her now. I have always loved her. I always shall love her. Everything I have I owe to her.” She picked up the bit of lace, bent her eyes on it. The warm color had crept from her cheeks, leaving them, if he could have seen, as white as her arms and shoulders—an exquisite, fine-grained white as pure and as beautiful as the petals of a milk-white rose. The act was nearing its close. The ocean of melody had touched high tide, “] am waliting for my answer,” he whispered. ‘ She made no sign that she heard. “If there’'s any hope, if I've a ghost of a chance, smile when you look at me again. You needn’'t speak. Unlyi smile.” 1 Some friends of Mrs. Otis, making | an entr-acte call, had peeped in her | box to say “how’do,” and Mrs. Utls,l dimpling and gracious and stout (and | watching her daughter from the cor- | ner of one eye) stood gossiping with | them a few moments in the corridor entrance. As the lights came on Kathleen had | leaned back in her chair, pressed her lovely shoulders against the cushions and breathed deeply. Now she very | deliberately walked to the seat her | mother had vacated, and, with her | back partly toward Fitzhugh, she vn-i gaged herself in airy conversation | with Artie Sparkle and the third mzmg of the party, a middle-aged bachelor | named Chickering. Not once had she | glanced Fitzhugh's way. Not once did ’ she notice his existence, There is one thing at which o\'un’ the most determined of lovers will | stop, and that thing is iluiifl'vrvnm‘.; l Indifference raises a wall there is no | scaling. i *Fool! . . . PFool that 1 was ever | ’to imagine she cared! . . . A girl| like her—what Idiocy !” i ; He determined that when the n(‘tf iendmi he would excuse himself on | - some pretext and =ush into the streets, ‘ and walk and walk, as he had walked | on this same night three vears ago. ! | He did not look very far beyond | that. Only he repeated to himself | | that for him everything was over. All i his ambitions, all his dreams and aspi- ; "rations had gone for naught. I{(n‘i thought of Esther. | Bit ‘'alf at 'once hé sdt' dp very | straight, and his deep-brooding mel- | ancholy slipped away from him.

lashed into oblivion by a girl's indif- | ference? | He was not aware act three had cleged until the roar of hand-clapping apprised him of it. Automatically he Joined in. As the lights came on he heard Artie's voice: “I say, Miss Otis, won't you come for a stroll in the corridor? llt's frightfully warm heah.” “I really prefer staying here, thank you, Mr. Sparkle, but you go.” When he knew Artle had gone Fitzhugh walked over to say goodby. But &8s he drew near she rose hurriedly and hastened toward the curtalnsv:t the rear of the box, leaving him with her mother, who, with her lorcn@e to her eyes, was placidly and studiously ignoring him. Kathleen finishod into the corridor, and, turning, drew the curtalns together so that r face and neck and shoulders were.framed in the aperture. And for a long moment her soft pansy eyes gazed dnto his leaping black ones. e smile on her lips was heavenly.WAnd the light In her eyes, afrald yet glad, spoke with an eloquent tongue. Then the curtains feil together, and he was alone with Mrs. Otls, CHAPTER X. | The fcllowing October Fitzhugh ]hought a seat on the Board of Trade. His Golden Goddess, Luck, ever beamed upon him, and this, no less than his breadth of grasp on the market, and all its wealth of tentacles, swelled his fortune with tremendous booms. His speculations In May and July wheat had alone netted him two hundred thousand dollars. Winter wheat had increased his capltal by two more similar notches, It was now well past seven hundred thousand dollarg, and' was rushing on toward the | milllon mark, All this within four years! Yet whenever he caught himself being awed by the magic he had wrought he would juell his rising ego by severe self-admonition: “Don’'t get too confident, ;"fememher it's all gambling.

J., where from time to time he heard from her. He tried repeatedly to give her money, { but always unsuccessfully. She repulsed every effort he made. Her un?spnkvn reproach, her silent refusal of his checks, for she returned them without a word, worried him more | than anything else she could have | done. | What Fitzhugh could not understand | was Otis’ unrelenting bitterness. He | never planned a veniure, never made |a move, but some hidden hand was | against it. He was not slow to dis¢over whose hand it was. Nor was ho long in discerning that its owner had nothing save enmity for him. Since | Kathleen's return from abroad he had i taken eager advantage of every op-:g'-n:'mr:iz.v to be with her. And here too, he had encountered that same op posing force. At first he never suspected Otis. He had thought Otis a EIH::.'I who disdained society as a fri- | volity only for woinen to amuse them- | selves with. He was soon to learn. | however, that it Is often those who jeer the loudest at smart society who | secretly revere it most. Hypocritically a snob, the flinty old capitalist was as | well versed in all those little tricks | and artifices and petty subterfuges of | socially disparaging a person as the ?IH”\'Y sophisticated dowager. | TFitzhugh’s perplexity became a torment. One evening (it was at a ‘r‘,mri!k\' ball) he reminded Kathleen of the “La Boheme” evening one year { before | “I shouldn’t bring it up,” he ended, “only this is our ‘anniversary,’ and ani niversaries are alwayvs the time for ?rm_-n?!in: things.” | She lowered her eves to the eluster of. violets on her corsage. They his violets He had long ago learned her passion for the flower and seld the day passed but he showered her | with them,

“You do care a little? Don't you— l Kathleen ?” “I—you know I like you.” He said tensely: “I don't want yoa to like me.” ‘'m sorry.” I “I want you to love me. You know I love you. Can’t you—don't you love ] me, Kathleen?” The violin sobbed with its delicious l melody. She began toying with the! violets. Her fingers were unsteady. | The violets fell to the floor. ‘ “Don't you?”’ he insisted, as he re | covered and returned them, “Don’t T what?'—pinning the flowers to her corsage. “Love me.” Having finally arranged the bouquet and stilled her trembling fingers, she permitted her arms to rest beside her on the chalr. Instantly she felt his hand close upon hers. The sobbing of the violin increased. It was some wild thing of Mozart’s. | “Kathleen! KXathleen!” 1 She was overpoweringly consclous of his nearness. The flesh of his hand seemed to burn into hers. Every] nerve in her Lbody throbbed to its pressure.” All the restraint of years of breeding and tradition, which thus far had held her back, were now snapping asunder; and she felt herself beIng swept on toward that which she feared yet longed to attain. She lcmild no longer resist. She gave her- | self utterly to the half-frightened deliclousness of surrender, *Ah . . . 2 vy . . . > do loveyou . . . They were snugly ensconced behind the shielding palm. The violinist was In a poetic frenzy. The attention of all was held by him. Nobody saw them. The shadows of the March afternoon were thickening, and the room was in sem!-darkness. , After a while he spoke, very softly. “So we are engaged,” he sald, and In spite of him his voice trembled, ‘ “Yes,” she murmured, unclosing her leyes. Still leaning against him, she | asked wistfully: *“And are you very, very happy?” He held her close, *“I never dreamed,” said he, “that | any man could be so divinely happy, | least of all myself.” ', Presently she sat up, with a start, | and removed his encircling arm. _ “You must remember,” she said hastily, “it is only between ourselves. " We mustn’'t announce it yet.” {' He detected a strange note in her ' volce, ‘ “I understand,” he answered qulietly. ! “You see, If I promise to marry | O | *“‘lf’ you promise?” | “I mean when we announce our en ‘ gagement., I shall have to oppose fa- | ther and mother.
