EGBERT il _ A'.A T.A.'.i*. , !.??- A-V.A-f.A V"*' VTVTVTV rnTTVTVTVTVTVTV V (Copyright, 1915. by W, O. Chapman.) When Rev. Aloysius Smith went oi of his study and saw the man stam Ing In the hall he could not repres a shudder of disgust. Broad as a ox, with short and rather bowed leg still his figure was that of an Adorn compared with his face. And tt last straw was that his name shoul be Cupid. "Hnrnfl in. mv friend." he said aft< an effort. "What can I do for you?' "I'm looking for a position in Litt Falls, sir," answered Cupid respec fully. "I've been working as a porti in town, but my health gave out an I was told to go to the country. So came here. It was a bit of a wal sir. I can show you good reference in case you know of a job?" The pastor looked at the fello with a repugnance which he coh not conceal. "I know my face is against m sir," said Cupid with a smile. And it was astonishing how tt smile changed him. Cupid smilir looked almost decent. The pastor racked his brains. E took a sudden liking to the man, ar he was resolved not to be prejudice against him on account of his looks. | "Miss Cavendish was wanting handy man to take care of her garde and pony/' he said. "I don't kno whether that Is in your line, xi friend r "I was bred on a farm," answerc Cupid. "I think, sir, I could manaf the Job if?if you'd see Miss Cave: dish first and?and mention my look air." That softened the parson complet ly. He called up Miss Cavendish c the telephone and broke the news i . considerately as possible. "The ms is afraid he doesn't look very prepo sessing, Miss Cavendish," he e plained. "Well, send him round and I'll Judf for myself," answered Miss Cavendis And a few minutes later Cupid d "For the Last Time, I Warn You 1 Leave Miss Cavendish Alone." parted. That night he returned, rati ant. "I've got the position, sir, and i'l ever so grateful," he said to the pa tor. Miss Cavendish was a maiden lad of about forty years. Sensible, though a little "queer and very determined?it is a typ common in New England. Before month had passed it was realized thi she had got a treasure. Cupid ha been almost the round of the town i search of employment before he wei to the pastor. Many regretted thf they had been prejudiced against tb man on account of his appearance. - Miss Cavendish had a beau. N( that she hadn't had heaps during tb course of her life; but somehow n< I body had proved quite good enoug f for Miss Cavendish. She was of ths flno motol wht/?h wnn't tflkp thfi ruf I of life, and sooner or later all he sweethearts had received their dii ' charge. But Mr. Henry Norman wa - different I A year or two older than Mia Cavendish; very soft-spoken, he wa the sort of a man whose very flawlesi * ness makes one think there may b more wrong with him than appears o the surface. People sort of distrus J ed Mr. Norman. But it was easy t ' see that Miss Cavendish was infatt ated with the man. Mr. Norma I didn't like Cupid. The two came froi the same town, and, though it wa not likely that they had ever bee closely associated, Cupid seemed t } know something to the discredit c Mr. Norman. At least, that was wha people surmised. Cupid never spok ?Just smiled his way into the heai 9 of. Little Falls. Cu^id had been a married mai Joo Ilcgers was questioning him on day. in the days before we learned i i i i respect Cupid. He asked him if his |) wife was coming out to Little Falls i to live with him. Joe Rogers never ! \ had much feeling. "No, sir," answered Cupid, turning | white. "Dead, hey?" asked Joe Rogers. *, "No. sir," said Cupid, looking | straight into Rogers's eyes. Some? how Joe Rogers found an excuse to | back away He never questioned Cupid after that J Joe Rogers was at work in charge of the men who were repairing the \ big dam above Little Falls. It had been called dangerous; people said i that if ever it burst the flood would ? sweep away Little Falls as the flood s them. s- "It's a lie!" he cried. There was & e look of triumph upon the fellow's face. d "The dam?the dam hasn't burst and t never will!'' o Emma said that for a moment Miss i- Cavendish stood still, watching his n face. Then suddenly she put her n hands to her own and burst into hyss terical tears and laughter. You see, n she had been brought to a realization o of Cupid's motive at last, and a thou>f sand little traits in Norman which she it had passed over, for love's sake, were e suddenly made clear And Cupid had 't saved her. But he never told her what he knew about Norman. Nobody i. knew thnt. Only it did not matter, e for Norman was nevei seen in Little o Falls again. . -A house, and Norman was on his way homeward after a call when Cupid confronted him. What Emma waa r0 doing there she did not pretend to ^ explain. > ^ "For the last time I warn you to leave Miss Cavendish alone/' said Cupid. ;p "You scoundrel!" hissed Norman. ? 'Til have you arrested for blackmail. % rl1-" I I "We know all about that, Mr. Nor^ man," answered Cupid wearily. "You are relying on my not daring to bring ? my wife's name into court Maybe \ you are right up to a certain point, r but not when it comes to sacrificing a - woman like Miss Cavendish." =3 WTiat Norman answered Emma could not hear, but she saw Cupid clench his fists and Norman start away. And, as Cupid watched him slink by there was a queer look on the man'rf ugly face. It almost seemed " as though he realized Norman waa a ~ coward and was* meditating about it "If the dam don't burst tomorrow she can't," Joe Rogers had said, and everyone repeated it. The key to the solid wall of masonry was to be swung into position the next day. Some had said that the laying of the great blocks had disturbed the foundations of the old dam, but Joe ridiculed that After ten at night the following day the dam couldn't burst unless an earthquake struck it, he insisted. People grew a little nervto ous as the evening wore away. Black Emma had heard Miss Cavendish laughingly tell Mr. Norman, who was li- visiting her that evening, and she said the man seemed scared when Miss ? Cavendish told him their house stood s- right in the line the torrent would take. ly Only Emma saw what happened at the house that night, and we have to . ' rely on her. It seems that Norman ?e was within half an hour of departing a ?the two had been reading some *t book together?when Cupid rushed d into the living-room without the pren limlnary of a knock, it "The dam's burst!" he yelled, it "There's just two minutes before the e flood catches us. Run for the hillside or you'll be buried under a hundred >t feet of water!" e Emma screamed naturally, but she > was not so terrified as Norman. He h stared at Cupid with wild eyes for it the tenth of a second. Then, with a ?t yell, he was upon his feet, out through sr the glass of the window, which fell s* in splinters all about him, and speed's Ing with all his might for the hillside. And just as Emma and Miss Cavens dish turned to run Cupid caught & naa destroyed jonnstown, auu uuuuuj t would have time to do anything but pray, and pray fast. Meanwhile the lt dam was progressing toward compled tion With the re-enforced concrete 53 structure no one thought lt would n break. ' We used to hear gossip of the Carendlsh household from Emma, the ie black maid. That was how we learned that Henry Norman didn't like Cupid. In fact, lt was said by ar her that the first time the two men met Mr. Norman looked as though Ie he had seen a ghost, while Cupid drew * himself up very stiff and looked at ' Mr. Norman in a way that made her [(j blood run cold. However, Emma, j faithful old soul that she was, was k fond of romancing. Still, we knew 3 that Mr. Norman had tried to per' suade Miss Cavendish to get rid of Cupid. Miss Cavendish refused. She always had a will of her own. They nearly quarreled over it till Mr. Norman saw that it was a case of yielding or losing Miss Cavendish?or her le money. * That was the bitter part. Joe Rogers found out that Mr. Norman was a bankrupt. He had hidden away . enough of his Droperty to enable him. ia ? J(j to dress like a gentleman, and to bring Miss Cavendish expensive flow4 ers; but he wanted her cool fifty thou>n sand, everybody knew. But nobody ' is going to meddle in such affairs. Folks are cowardly in small towns. As for Cupid, whatever he knew, ha J(j kept quieter than ever. He worshiped Miss Cavendish. That was easy to ^ see. But people said he wouldn't hold his position long after the marriage, * which was only four weeks away. Now comes the astonishing part of )n the story. Emma said she saw Cupid iS talking to Mr. Norman. The two men - were at the gate of Miss Cavendish's
