CHAPTER XXII.
Th? House Divided.
Alone In that strange place of si|
lence and shadows?that den of the
devil's livery, crimson and blackchained
to the Invalid chair wherein,
day In, day out, for years on end, he )
had suffered the Promethean torments)
of the life that would not die out of j
his wretched, wrecked carcass, though
without cens ing sharp-beaked envy, j
hatred, malice and all uncharitable-1
ness pecked inset l>ly at his vitals: |
Seneca '"rine sat v.; .sr, with the Impassivity
of a grav n "sure \v?.lting!
on the Imminent hou of ultimate
avengemqni for th< wrong that had
made him what he was.
"Another hour! . . . Tn sixty j
minutes more they will be here, Judith
and Marrophat and Kose?poor fool!
?and him! ... In sixty minutes j
moro tl.ey will put him down before ;
me, bound and helpless, if not dead
A slight pause prefaced words that
were a whimpered prayer: "God send
that he be not dead! Have 1 lingered

here in anguiah all these weary years
for the fulfillment of iny revenge only J
to be cheated at the end by Death? |
God grant that Alan Uw may be laid
down still living here at my feet!
. . . Then . .
A bitter smile twisted his tortured
features: "Then shall my will be done
to him! And then, when I have seen
him die as his father died?then?Ah,
God!?then at last 1 too may die!
N
There was a long silence, then a
groan of exasperated protest: "Why
do they not come? Why does Judith
delay, when she knows how I suffer?
Why have 1 been put ofT from day to
day with her telegrams that begged
for more time and promised everything?but
told nothing!?until yesterday.
. . . Where are those messages
she eent me yesterday?"His
one sound hand groped out like
a claw and sodght a mans of papers
on the desk beside him, sorting out
from among t|em two yellow forms.
Painfully he blinked over these and
slowly his paitl-bent lips conned their
wording;
" 'Alan and Rose safe with me?will
bring both home tomorrow night without
fail,'" he read the ilrst aloud; and
then the second: "'Have motorcar
waiting for me tomorrow morning
, from three o'clock till called for New
Bedford waterfront ?Judith.'"
"No!" he affirmed with the fervor
of one persuaded by his own desires:
"I must not doubt the girl! She has
promised, she has performed:
So still was he, indeed, that he
eemed to sleep, but so deceptive wtos
that semblance that he was alert for '
the least sound. The girl entered soft- 1
,ly, as If fearful of disturbing his slumbers;
but she found him with head '
erect and eyes a-blu/e.
"Judith!" he cried, his great voice
vibrating like a brazen bell. "At last!
Where is he? You have brought him? 1
Where is he?"
With no more answer than a sigh,
the girl drooped her head and let her '
hands hang limply with palms ex- '
posed. 1
After an Instant of Incredulous disappointment
the man shot a single,
frigid question at her:
"You have, failed?"
i obt? imiea, ?ae confessed.
"Why?" 1
She shrugged slightly. "Who knows 1
why one falls? I did my best: he was c
too much for me, outwitted me at 1
very turn. Time and again 1 thought 1
I had him, but ^Iways he escaped,
either by his cwn^wlt and courage or f
with another's aid. Only yesterday "
night they were all three In the hoi- I
low of my hands?but now 1 bring you>

She faltered, awed by the glare of
his Infuriated eyes. "Let me explain,"
she begged.
Ho snapped her short: "You cannot
explain. The thing is impossible, that
you should have failed. There is something
beneath this, something you
will not tell me."
She endeavored to speak, but ho enforced
silence with a sonorous "No!"
Ills hand sought the row of buttons
on the desk and pressed one long.
Almost Instantly n servant glided
noiselessly into the room.
"My daughter Rose?have her
brought hero to me at once:"
in another moment the ropflva of j
his daughter Judith was usher >d into I
his presence
T'port this one bp loosed the light !
nlngs of his wrath without ruth
Rose suffered him in silenco. Ills
most galling recrimination educed no
retort from this one.
In a lull in Trine's tirade, Judith
hose to interject: "Don't be so hard
on the silly fool: she's not responsible;
. she's sick with love for that good-looking
simpleton!"
"And you!" Rose turned on her
passionately?"what about you? If I
love Alan Law, at leaBt I love him
openly. I am not ashamed to own it?
and I don't pursue him, as you do, pretending
I mean to sacrifice him to a
wicked family feud, and then spare
him every time I meet him, to lead
him to believe 1 haven't the heart to
injure him?as you do. hoping so to
work upon his sympathies and earn
a kindly word and a pat on the flead
from his hand!"
Fiercely she leveled a denunciatory
arm at her sister. "There!" she cried
to her father?"If you need to know?
there stands the daughter who has
betrayed your faith?as I have not,
who have never even pretended to
approve your villainy!"
"I think." Trine announced In a
voice of ice?"1 have learned now
what I needed to know."
Mis fingers sought the row of buttons;
and when a servant responded,
he inquired:
"Mr. Marrophat has returned?"
"He is In the waiting room, sir."
"Conduct Miss .lyrlith to him and
tell him 1 hold hi?n personally responsible
for her safe-keeping. He will
understand."
And for a long time thereafter the
father, alone with the daughter who
had been estranged from him since
birth by every instinct of her nature,
essayed in vain to break down her
mutinous silence.
At last Trine summoned two of his
creatures and had her led weeping
from the rooms to be held prisoner in
her bedchamber on the topmost floor
of the house.
CHAPTER XXIII.
A Sporting Offer.
Some two hours later, that same
evening, Mr. Alan Law, very much
alive and, in spite of a complete new
outfit of ready-made clothing, looking
much more like himself than he had
in a fortnight 'ahVi *???
w , vu iiuui iUC
Grand Central station, hailed a taxicab,
and had himself conveyed to the
Hotel Monolith.
Hut if he looked his proper self once
more. It speedily was demonstrated
that his wish was otherwise: for after
learning from the room-clerk of the
Monolith that a suite was being held
in the name of Arthur I^awrence, that
was the name Mr. I^aw inscribed on
the register.
On the other hand, it was his true
name that he gave to the person whom
he called upon the telephone immediately
at'ter being shown to his rooms.
But then he was speaking to his old
friend and man of business, Mr. Digby.
Within another ten minutes this last
was in conference with his employer:
"I think you mu9t be out of your
head," he insisted nervously, once
llieir first greetings were over. "You
might Just as sensibly throw yourself
from the top of the Metropolitan tower
as come to New York while Trine lives
and knows you're this side the water."
"Nonsense!" Alan laughed. "Remember
this is New York?not tho backwoods
of Maine!"
Alan paused and emote his palm
with a remorseful fist. "By the Eternal,
I'm forgetting Barcus!"
"Barcus?" '
"Chap whose boat I chartered in
Portland sheer luck on my part: he's
one of the salt of the arth. First,
something must be done for the boy.
You've got influence of some sort In
Mew Bedford, surely?"
Digby reflected: "Some. There's
Jeorge Blaine, Justice of the peace?"
"The very man. Telegraph him in
Barcus' Interests Immediately. And j
elegraph Barcus as well?send him (
k
i uuiiud'u iur espennei, and tell him
o Join me here In New York as quick 1
ib he can!"
"Your friend's address?" Dlgby In- 1
luired, mildly ironic as he sat down r
it the desk and fumbled with the sup- 1
>ly of stationery. 1
"New Bedford Jail, of course!" Alan 1
buckled?but cut hia laugh in two as (
H?at,i!i?wi' -

omethlng fluttered froin the pack of
nivi lopes which Digby hart disturbed
and fell to the iloor between the two
men.
Face up, it grinned sardonic mockery
of Alan's confidence: it was a trey
of hearts.
With an ashen face and a trembling
hand, Digby stooped to pick the
damned thing up; but Alan was beforehand
with him, and got his fingers
first upon the card. , .
"Now wijl you believe?" Dlgby do- '
nut tided huskily.
"In what? A simple coincidence?" i
Alan flouted. "Not I! Who knows I'm
in New York?or that the Arthur Lawrence
for whom your agent engaged i
these rooms was Alan Law. No, my |
friend: it's u bit too thick for me. Take
my word for it, this is nothing more
nor less than a souvenir of a pokerparty
held by yesterday's tenant of 1
this suite."
"Perhaps?perhaps!" Digbv assent. I
ed, stroking tremulous lips. "Hut I'm i
afraid for you, niy boy. Who knows (
that Trine's spies were not watching

some quiet place near by an 1 wait '
there for the railing of the next transatlantic
steamer. Oh, surely you can't ?
deny me this one wish of my loud old |
heart, my boy!"
With a gesture of unfeigned affection
Alan dropped a hand on Digby's !
shoulder. 1
"There's nothing on earth I would I
not do for you," he said: "you've been ,
a father and a mother to me ever since
I can remember, even if we were sepa- j
rated, most of the time, by three thou- i '
sand miles of salt water. Hut this ;
thing?I can't do it, even for you. I (
can't do it even for myself. Rose
Trine is here In New York, in the (
hands and at the mercy of her father '
and sister: and you may judge what )
their mercy will be when you learn i
all that she has done for me. I won't j (
go and I can't go until I find her and
take her with me. And that is tiual." (
"Then," Digby struck In, grasping ,
wildly at a straw of hope, "I have your (
word you'll go. providing I flud und re- (
store Roee to you?"
"You have my word to that, unoues
tionably. Bring Rose to me, and I'll (
gladly shake the dust of New York
from my shoes, and never return till '
Trine is put away comfortably in his '
grave." '
"It shall be dono," Digby promised.
"It must!" I
"You believe that?"
"In twelve hours Rose shall be restored
to you."
"Will you make a book on It? I'll '
bet you something happens?and hope
I lose into the bargain. If you believe !
you can carry out your promise, wire 1
the White Star line to reserve the '
best available suite on the Oceanic, 1
sailing tomorrow morning at ten?
and make arrangements for a mar- | ]
riage before the boat sails." ',
"I'll go you," Digby agreed: "and If (
I fall, I forfeit the cost of the reser- ,
vatlon. But about thlB marriage?"
He hesitated. i
"You'll have to have a license in 1
this state?and can't get one except,!:
by applying In person with your bride-11
to-be. There won't be time?"
"Then we'll marry in Jersey!" Alan
insisted. "Dig up some clergyman over
there, if you don't know one your-|
self?"
"Oh. I'm well acquainted with the |
very man!" !]
