A Story of Absorbing Interest By BERNARD HERBERT. CHAPTER XV. BATANKI.I.A. Wliilo Ibo events nnrrutcd 111 (lie pro ceding chapters had been transpiring, silence and mourning had reigned in the qnie.t lioUso of the Arniins tip in Harlem. I'oor Ruport had rotuiucd from hie unsatisfactory interview with Dctectivo llaneker at police headquarters, utterly prostrated with doubt niul grief. It had all been a lorrilic blow to a man of bin sensitive, high-strung nature, and at. Hrst it seemed inoro than lie could bear. Ho had fallen hopelessly, madly in lovo with little Grncic, ho had believed her us pure as tho angels, and accordingly had trusted her as he would trust no\>thcr living woman savo his own boloved mother. The thought that tortured liirn was, that if little Gracie were innocent oi an wrong and had trusted in his protection, why had Rhe fled from him in tho niglit liko a guilty creature; why had she not wont him Homo word of her whereabouts, if slio had repented of her hasty action, ho that lie might go And bring her homo again? But no word had como from her; sho had voncli"eafed no explanation, and though he fought like n tiger with himself to repress the suspicion that assailed him, it would tnko form in Bpito of him ; it haunted him liko some grewsome s|>eotcr. Consequently, when ho reached the little home after his fruitless search in Mulberry street, he went straight up to his room, locked the door, and in the desolutioii of his heart he flung himself upon tho bed?to try to plan how lie should shape his future course. And Mrs. Arnim was wise enough to leave him to himself. All day long sho went about her household duties silently, and it was not until the dusk of evening had closed in that Rupert sought her of his own ? freo will wlioro slio sat in her accustomed chair by the window of tho dosorted studio, sewing. 8ho raised her eyeB ns ho came into . tho room and welcomed him with a fond smile. Ho approached, and for ho mo minutes stood Iteaido licr looking out at the darkening street. IIo was sadly changed, poor lad; lie wns as pallid as the dead, hut very calm. At last it was ho who broke the oppresivo silence. "Mother 1" "Well, my boy?" "Have prou no pity for rno. Her kindly eyes filled with tears, and her voico was full of reproach as she answered: "Oh, llupert! My heart is breaking for you in your trouble, and I have done nothing but pray the good Lord to help you. But I havo not intruded upon yon because I knew you would seek me when you wanted sucli comfort as I can give." Ho stooped and kissed the upturned ...I ll.? ft 1 wiwn viiiuftu uiu O'.uv, n?*j, UlUWII J1U1J showed signs of the tcll-talo silver. "Well, she 1ms gone forever!" lie snid, sadly, raising himself and turning his face to tho window again to conceal any passing trace of emotion that might be imprinted there. "Yon have heard no tidings of her?' vWOh, yes; I have heard her denounced as n murderess; I have l>een informed at police headquarters that sho is it: custody." "Then it is better that sho has gone forever, Ilupcrt!" came the rejoindci in a tone of firm conviction. He sliudderod from head to foot a! the words, but commanded himself. "1 am not prepared to beiievo ai that I hear," ho said, sternly; "I shall regard her ns an innocent, injured girl until the contrary is proves! 1" . "Then you inenn to waste yonr tinu in following up a case, the results ol which may bring you only further mis"No 1 1 feci sure that if she is cleared 'jg of tho shadow of crimo that I shall know it.

In my presenl frame of mind, I think I should sue evert lienor with the ouior rtescnpUor of m'oiuad?something dark, brilliant fatally beautiful, a sort of Satanella.*' 0 Heady to humor liis oxtravagnni fancy, Mrs. Armm roplio.1: "It miglit bo u good plan; but hnv< ran an idea for such a faco?" "I left an advertisement for such i model tut I caino up-town. I may go au answer and have to go to work to morrow." "Tlie sboner the better, Ruport," It was no idle fancy, no creation of i disordered mind which suggested thii M?, '' ju ; ... [jdcoiw au Itlabde to the ymrag artist; Ht trfvS tall let ft firm conviction that be could create something of tho kind which should make his name famous at tho forthcoming exhibition. In proof thereof lie was early in his studio on tho following morning with ft look of determination upon his handbomo face. His lirst duty was to remove tho portrait of little (Iracie from tho easel and turn it face inward to tho wall. He did not liestow u single glanco upon the lovely pietured features; j?erliaps he did not care to, perhups he did not dare. Selecting a fresh canvas ho seated himself before it und began to roughly sketch iu with charcoal something of his idea. So interested did he become in hi9 work that he failed to hear the sharp ring at the door liell, or the rustle of silk iih u ludy entered the studio. He was quite unaware of a presence iu tho room until ft low, melodiuua voice, thnt thrilled him to tho soul, pronounord his name. "Mr. Arnirn?" He turned quickly, started to his feet, and confronted his visitor, who had just raised her veil. For an instant lie felt us if ho must be bereft of his senses. If he hud been a magician und possessed tho power to conjure from tho bowels of the earth u spirit to suit his tnirjM>se, ho could not have dreamed in mo iiiiihbii ui^iib en iaucy 01 u lace, a figure, a tout disentitle morn perfectly in accord with his idea of the proposed Katanellu. And whon wo inform tho reudor that the person in question was none other than Cora, Hoyden's discarded wife, he will appreciate how fully t he woman would agree with the picture in the artist's mind. ( "In heaven's name who are yon?" cx( claimed Aruim, when the first shock of surprise had passed. ) She smiled upon hint in a way that made his lilood tingle in his veins, as she replied: [ "I am the model you advertised for, if I suit your purposo. k "Suit my purjioso!" he exclaimed, r enthusiastically; "why, you are the very \ embodiment, of Satanclla." Then his face fell and hegrow serious i as he gluuccd at her rich attire. "lint. 1 yon are no ordinary model," he added; "I fear that I, being a poor man, cannot. ; ullbrd tl> pay yon your prico for sitting to me." She smiled again, utterly bewitching liim with her mystic beauty. ' "As you say," she replied, "I am no ordiuary model. I have never sat for i my poctrnit before, and I would not sit to von?if I did not like you. I expect anu ask no payment for my services. T . shall consider myself amply repaid if I yon produce a portrait of me which shall set the world talking about me." He was ulnmt to interrupt Iter with ' , some eager exclaniatiott, when she raised her blnek gloved hand in token of silcnco. "Wait," she added, "until you hear iij h'juib. i ?'iiui|in jtm will nor. ugreo to them." ::I ugreo to^ anything, so long us 1 can paint you I" , "You cannot paint me hero in this , house, nor even in this city, for I am ' going away." "I would follow you to the ends of tho oarth to paint such n face nsyours!" , Slio smiled such oncourngemcnt that he* victim was translated. "You need not tako so long a jouri ney," sho answered; "within n few [ hours I will send you word whero yon l can find me. May I depend upon you ?" "If I livo I will come to you!" "Very well. I need not toll' you that I am glad to liavo met you. Au , revoir." . Ho followed her to the street-door and saw her enter tho cab that awaited her. Ho saw her fatally beautiful faco smilling upon liitn, but he failed to hear i her give the address which, within the hour, would bring lior into tho presi once of tho sweet, puro girl who, for tho time being, had l>ecn swept from his memory by this stranger's unholy spell. Thus tho first step toward tho consummation of Hoyden's villainous revenge was taken! i While Arnim sat alone in his studio, dreaming in ocstasy of tho vista which ; fortune had opened before him, the eal>, > which contained the buleful cnchnni tress rolled rapidly down town in tho [ direction of Detectivo Bancker's huml bio homo, whore, at tlm moment lift In CJracio and hor friends were convened, listening to the report of the detective's I fruitless search. Discouraged at the fruitless outlook. Lawyer Edgar had just risen to his feet > and exclaimed: ; "Very well, my client shall no longer I be kept out of her property!" when tho t veiled woman ascended tho steps of tho house, and rang for admittance. The ' blind luck which had attended her I through lifo had served to place her in I communication with ltupcrt Arnim, and i she daringly trusted to it now to furnish her with tidings of little Uracie by > calling upon Detoctive Haucker, who, r her husband had informed her by writing on hor tablets, had chargo of the t caso.

Every eye wns riveted upon her elegant figure and veiled face, mid it was the I detective, as master of the house, who 1 roso and addressed her first, f "I beg your pardon, madam," ho said, "do yon wish to boo mo ?" fc "Are you Richard Dancker, the det teetive? f ho inquired, using her most t melodious tono. "I am." i "And are yon Mr. Edgar, the lawyer . of the late Mr. Orrin Clifford?" Though considerably surprised, tho t gentleman applied in tlie affinnativc. "Then permit me to introduce niys self," she said, raising her veil and existing her beautiful face. "My name i is Cora Clifford lloyden. I am tho t niece of tho lato Mr. Orriu Clifford, - and tho wifo of his nephew, Max Roy don. Consequently, being his brother's daughter ami married to his sister's * son, 1 hare a donblo claim npon his rc* lutionship." V . . , A* This astonishing piece of information fell like thunderl>olt uprw the littlo group, and it was Lawyer Edgar who was the first to cotno to his senses. "Without for a moment doubting your.word, madam," he said, |?oliteJy, "permit mo to ask whether yon havo the proofs to substantiate your statements ?" "Certainly, I have," was the haughty reply; "hero is the certificate of my marriago to Mr. Hoyden; his engagement and wedding rings are beneath iny glove, and. if von to tho recorrl of my birth, you liavu only to sock tho projmr autlioritios." Ah phe censed speaking, she drew n parchment from her bosoin and tendered it to the lawyer, hut lie courteoindy refused to examine it. "The proofs of <your identity are no donht sufficient, Mrs. Hoyden," ho said; "unfortunately for your claim, however, Mr. Clifford made a will just previous, to his death, in which neither .your, name nor that oF your husband is mentioned." "Indeed? Will yon obligo mo by showing me tho will?" "I regret that at present I nm ' unable to do so." A scornful smile played around tho adventuress' lips as sho retorted: "Oh, that is singular, is it not? However, inny I bo permitted to know to whom my uncle left liiu fortune?" Cora's brilliant eyes shot to tho shrinking figure of i?onr little Grocio, and rested upon her for a moment in impudent scrutiny. "Do you mean to tell me," she said, ouce more, addressing the luwyor, "that that girl is tho person ?" "Yes," replied Mr. Edgar, "1 his young lady is MiBs Grace Clifford, and her father's sole legatee." "Oh, absurd!" eried tlio woman, bursting into a cruel laugh of withering scorn; "mv dear sir. how von moot liftvo been duped! If m^_. unci# such a will ho must have hoen of unsound mind, from excessive use of opium, which wan his fatal habit, and which unquestionably caused his death.

The fair fame of her mother had been foully assailed, and she alono I felt the obligation of defending it. She rose to her feet, every nervo as 1 firm as steel, her lips white and comL pressed into n rigtiV ttnei, lior nmgut | eyes dark with the menace of wounded pride. " What you say is false?and yon know it!" she said, firmly; "false as any word uttered by a fiend incarnate! You aro | a l>old, bad woman! I read it in your j eyes, and I warn these gentlemen to doubt every word that you say, except that you are the wife of Max Boyden. If Bitch is the ens'?, all I can nay is that yon are well matched 1" The woman had l>een recoiling before the lash of her righteous scorn with much of the siuuous action of a serpent al>out to strike. As tho girl ceased speaking she draw herself up, and her eyes fairly lanced tho tiros of hate. "You insufferable upstart. 1" she hissed; "you deserved to bo whipped from end to end of tho town for your insolence!" "Not by you, madam!" "Yon are a brazen-faced advenlurenot" "And you are no lady!" If she had stabbed the woman with a dagger, Oracie could not have wounded tho creature more vitally. In her ungovernable wrath, she turned her back upon the girl and addressed Mr. Edgar steadily, (hough slio was livid lo tho lips with rage. "I shall enter upon tho rights of my uncle's property," she snid, "until his will is produced. Then I shall contest it. And I warn you to keep all impostors out of my wav, for I am merciless!" With these words slio swept out of tho room and the outer door clanged l?ehind her. Once more seated in her cab, she glancod back at the unpretentious house which shielded her rival, and clenched her hands until the delicate kid that covered them burst with the vicious pressure. "Curse her!" sho panted; "she has | insulted me, wounded mo to the unick. but mIio shall pay dearly for it! Bhe may havo her properly if she can wrest it from me, but I will have her hqppinessC In pursuance of the threat, alio sent a note to Rupert Arnim that evening, anrl as he read it, the blood surged to hi? brain and blinded him with a guilty joy. Tho brief missive ran as follows: "I go l>v ttin Fall River boat to-morrow evening. My destination is Ronton. You may accompany nio if you choose, or follow mo at your own discretion. Hatankixa."

But whore to begin? How find a woman who had vanished utterly, leaving notroco, no clue behind her? "I shall go to Boston and to the old home first," Oracie said; "tho place has boon closed since wo went to Europe, but knowing what I do, porhaps some of the neighbors ean assist me." "Is tho place in the city inquired Mr. Edgnr. "No. it is in a lonely suburb, but I know it well, for it has been my home ever since I ean remeral>er."

"There were, but they woro all di missed, and the house_wns closed." The good man looked discouraged. "To whom shall we apply for info mation thou?" he asked. "I scarcely know; I must take tim to think." Ho wns about, to take his leave an roturn to his hotel, but he returned 1 the girl, laying his hand gently uj>o her bowed head. "Littlo Graeie," he said, gonlb "our way looks darkl>eforo us, but wit _ v I'!''1 ing up into his fatherly face with a wo smile; "shall w? start to morrow?" "To-morrow, if yoa wish." So it was decided, and Lawyer Edga took his departure. All that night Tit tie Gracie lay in a waking tram-< going over and over again the eventsr that painful duy. At last, toward morning, nho fol asleep from sheer fatigue, and droaine ?dreamed so vividly that she awok with a wild cry of pain, and found hci self staring at the rays of the nnwl risen sun that fleckod the carpet of he chamber.
