CHAPTER XV. 10
Continued.
Winyard, who was a step behind
heis appeared almost to have fore
seen the mishap, (or his arm was
round her before it was possible to
know whether she would have fallen
or not. It was doubtless owing to
the narrowness of the steps that he
found It necessary to throw his right
arm around her, instead of content
ing himself by supporting her with
his hand.
"Perhaps we are," he observed,
gravely, as she recovered herself
quickly and passed on.
"Perhaps wo are what?" she
asked, keeping her face studiously
turned from him, and plucking little
tufts of lichen from the wall as she
passed.
"Foolish!"
"I am, at any rate," said Lena,
with a little laugh. "I never do re
member that slllv step. The way it
tilts forward when one stands on It
Is moat alarming. Now, I am sure
you had forgotten it."
"Excuse me, I remembered It."
"And you did not warn me. Per
haps you wished me to tumble down
to the bottom, and como to an un
timely end in * the depths of the
.Broomwater."
Winyard did not answer at once;
he appeared to ho pondering over
the words before he spoke them.
"Perhaps," ho said, in a voice so
low that Lena could scarcely hear it,
"perhaps I wished to have tho pleas
ure of saving you from all that."
Then the ingenuous youth changed
the conversation skilfully, knowing
that maidens are delicate in their
ausceptibilltie3, and love little a joke
that is pressed too far. That loose
step, with i(s alarming weakness,
was never again overlooked by Lena;
and by some strange sinuosity of her
maiden mind, abetted by her Imagin
ative heart ? an unfathomablo shal
low, all criss-cross currents ? she
came to loving it beyond Its fofrty
ueven mossy fellows.
CHAPTER XVI.
An Interview.
The moon had bravely taken up
her nightly task of sweeping clear
the heavens. But there was some
huge clouds that promised to strain
her cleansing powers to the utmost.
Winyard Mist ley sat. on tho stone
Bill of his bedroom window, ten feet
from the ground, with his legs dang
ling In the darkness, and listened
absently.
The scene was so lovely, the thou
sand night odors so sweet, that the
time slipped rapidly away, while tho
watcher almost forgot to note its
passage. Ho had been sitting there
nearly half an hour, when at length
ho heard the rustlo as If some ono
moving through the underwood upon
the slope down the stream. With a
last .whisper of admonition to Adonis,
he placed his two hands on tho win
dow-sill and throw himself far out
Into tho darkness. He lighted softly
on the mossy turf and crossed the
lawn.
His eyes wore accustomed to the
darkness, and ho could rocognlze tho
form of each stately tree, drawn In
sharp black flllgreo against the gray
Bky. In the shadow of tho wall at
tho foot of tho long flight of steps he
soon discovered a tall figure leaning
against a tree, with tho leisurely pa
tionce of one who knows that his
waiting is not in vain.
For a moment, it struck Winyard
that if this man had e\'l intentions,
nothing would he easier than to
shoot him as he descended the steps
with the moonlight shining full upon
his face; hut tho thought was only
flootlng. and untlnged with any likeli
hood. of turning to a fear.
As tho young Englishman ap
proached, Ivan Meyer stepped for
?ard, and, with an artist's ever-pres
nt love of harmless effoct, raised
Is hat and said:
"Monsieur Mistley?"
Winyard was one of those unfortu
nate people whoso senso of humor is
irrepressible ? unfortunate, because
it Invariably strikes at the wrong
mooront, and because the possession
of it. makes one see deopor pathos
in every-day life than those whose
stnlle is slower. The Incongruity of
the whole Affair suddenly forced It
self intr> Wlnvard's thought*, and he
was thankful that his face was in the
shado as he raised his hat. slowly and
coldly, with a truer knowledge of
dranfatlc effect than Ivan Meyer pos
sessed . ,
"I am Winxard Mistley," he ex
placed. "It. is is. perbapp. 'my eldor
brother with whom monsieur wishes
to converse "
It i?ay have been that Meyer
thought he detected a slight sharl* of
?onv In the formality of hi* reply,
>r he Instantly dropped the cere
onlous mode of address in the
ilrd person.
"No, monsieur, It Is youraelf whom
seek," he said wlih a nervous beal
?Atlon which 414 not f?n to rtftae him
considerably in his companion's esti
mation. "You will pardon my in
discretion, but I was hard pressed
before I thought of assistance ? you
can believo that?"
With characteristic foresight the
young Englishman began to wonder
how much money ho had about his
person, a a he bowed in acquiescence.
Instantly Ivan Meyer saw that his
words had been misconstrued, and
be hastened to explain.
"I am here," ho said in a tone
showing more self-assertion, "to ask
a strange favor."
"I will endeavor to assist you,
Monsieur "
"Meyer ? Ivan Meyer. I am a Rus
sian by nationality, a Swede by
rlrhts ? for I am a native of the
Baltic Provinces."
Again Wlnyard bowed, and waited
with some unsympathetic silence for
some further Information.
"You know tho name of Marie
Bakovitch, monsieur?"
"I do."
"She is at present at Walso, near
to here."
"Do you come to mo on tho part
of mademoiselle?" asked tho Eng
lishman somewhat coldly.
"No; I come on my own account."
"Indeed!" Wlnyard moved rest
lessly from one foot to the other, and
by casting glances up at tho clouds,
down toward his own boots, and in
discrlmlnatlngly around, indicated
gently that ho was not desirous of
prolonging an interview with this
mysterious youth.
Suddenly Ivan Meyer took cour
age, and stepping closer to liis com
panion said passionately:
"I come to you because you have
ruined my life. I am the lover of
Marie Bakovitch. Her love for me
? or tho prospect of winning it ?
was the one bright spot in my ex
istence, which has been as dark as
that of every young Russian. For
her I worked night and day in the
hopes of ono day becoming a great
artist: for her sake I would willing
ly have thrown my life away. But
for her sweet influence I would have
become a Terrolst, fighting a glori
ous battle by means so foul that God
can only frown upon tho righteous
side and unliold the tyrant. For her
sake I forgave my father's exile, my
mother's death, my own miserable
childhood; and just at the moment
when happiness seemed within my
reach, when I felt sure of winning
Marie's love, you rose upon the
bright horizon of my joy; and now ?
now you are driving her mad. I
should have hated you; at one time,
I thought I did, but now I know that
it is not you, but your power, that I
hate. I have known of Marie's pro
ject for a year, and have ever striv
en to make her give it. up. It is
not for your sake that I have done
this, but for hers; nevertheless, I
have some clnini upon you. Surely
I aim justified in calling upon you
now, in the name of all you hold sa
cred, to obey me ? to come, now,
with mo to Marie Bakovitch!"
"nut," said Winyard, with true
British calmness, "but what good
can I do?"
"I do not know; wo aro in the
hands of Providence; but she is for
ever asking for you," replied the
Russian, defiantly.
"For me?"
"Yes; in her moments of calmness
the name or Mist ley is ever on her
lips, and when she becomes excited
she attempts to romo out to seek
you. I have locked her in our little
sitting room, promising to come and
find you. Sometimes 1 think she is
mad, monsieur, and at other times
1 think I am so myself. Will you
come? I have provided for every
thing. Marie is calmer to-night;
hut she never sleeps now. Mrs. Arm
strong, our landlady, has hor room
In an outbuilding. All Walso is
asleep; it. is safe."
Still Winyard hesitated. Tvan
Meyer evidently did not know of the
moeting by the stream, Jjo reflected;
and the sight of the man she had at
tempted to murder might havo a
terrible efTrct upon the girl.
"Is it ? possible ? that you think
this a trap?" asked Meyer, slowly.
That deeided t ho young Knglish
man.
"I will go with you," he said, sim
ply. "The thought you suggest
never entered my head."
CHAPTER XVIT.
Crazed.
The streets of Walso were desert
ed whw the two men entered the
little town. The moon, now rapidly
clearipg the heavens of a few fleecy,
clouds that still remained, sbonc
placidly down upon the gray stone
houses with their red tile roofs. No
window was lighted up, and the
clean white blinds gave back the soft
moonlight, and seemed to speak of
healthy, quiet slumber, the reward '
of a hard day's toil.
Meyer opened noiselessly the door J
of Mrs. Armstrong1* aottage.
*1 covered the windows,** he brU
in ? whisper, "from the inside, so
that one cannot see the light ol the
lamp."
Win yard followed his guide tnte
the dark passage, closing the dooc
behind him. A moment later hii
companion pushed open that of the
tiny parlor, and a stream of light
poured out on to the plain wall and
oilcloth-covered floor.
"Come, monsieur," he said, after
glancing into the lighted room, and
as Winyard obeyed he mechanically
and critically noted the hideous pafc
, tern of the oilcloth upon the floor.
Marie was seated near the tabl^
with both arms resting upon its dull
red cover. The soft lamp-light
gleamed upon her flaxen hair, and
defined her white profile against the
dark wall beyond. She turned her
eyes wearily toward the door as the
two men entered, but there was no
light of recognition in her face. It
was at that moment that Winyard
was struck for the first time by the
wonder of her great beauty. Ho had
never before seen her without her
hat, and in the soft light her lovely
supple hair had a gleam of gold upon
it, borrowed from the lamp's rays.
Her light blue eyes looked darker by
the same reason, and from the red
tablecloth there arose a pink glow
which cast over her pallid face a rosy
hue of life. But it was a soulless
life, and the young Englishman
winced as he met those vacant, plead
ing eyes.
Meyer motioned him to stand aside
In a corner near tho Ikon, where the
tiny oil-lamp flickered little ruby
shafts of light across the holy pic
ture. Then he approached her, and
said:
"Marie, I have brought him."
Tho girl took not the slightest no
tice; indeed, sho did not appear to
heur his voice, but sat gazing dream
ily at her own hands lying idly on
tho table before her. And now the
patient lover went to her side and
laid his hand upon her lifeless wrist.
"Marie," ho whimpered; speaking
Russian for the first, time in Mist
ley's presence. "My little Marie! I
am Ivan ? do you not know me?"
Sho slowly raised her eyes from
the contemplation cf her own hands,
and fixed them searchlngly on his
face.
"Ivan!" she said at length. In a
sweet, d$ep voice. "You have como
already! Are they wailing to take
mo away?"
"Who, my Mario?"
"The soldiers, for I have killed
him ? I have killed him!" Her voice
died away to a whisper.
"No, you have not killod him,
Marie. He is here!" said Meyer,
speaking slowly, as one speaks to u
child.
"Who is here?"
"Winyard Mlstley. He has como
at your own request!"
"No, Ivan; I shot him at tho
stroam. I killed him. I shall no?ver
see him again, for he is dead. I told
him to stop, but ho came nearer; ho
never took his eyes off mine ? lie
never hesitated; and as ho rame ? as
he looked at me ? I thought it was
the other; He looked so brave and
calm; but ? but t lie other Is bigger ?
bigger and braver!"
When Winyard was excited, or at
moments when his nerves were on
tension, awaiting tho time for ac
tion, ho had a peculiar habit of draw
ing in his lips, first the lowor and
then the upper, as if they were
parched and needed moisture. This
action made his square jaw look
8quarer, and by sympathey his gray
eyes grew dogged and dark beneath
the motionless lnshes.
All this time he had boon stand
ing in the darker corner of tho little
room, with keen, observant eyes
upon the lovers. One brown hand
was religiously executing Mr. Czor
ny's No. 1 five-finger exercise on the
top of an old three-cornered oak
cupboard, and his lips were slowly
moistening each other. Perfectly
calm and collected, watchful, alert,
and keen, he waited his time. At
last he stepped forward, and with a
little sign to Meyer to let him speak,
he said:
"No, Mademoiselle Ilakovitrh, you
the entiroly mistaken. You did not
shoot me."
The girl looked up at him with
eyes vague at first and wondering;
but gradually tho rays of a reason
ing soul shone through them, and
with a motion of her hand toward
her soft hair over her temple, she
spoke:
"You ? here," she said, "you!
Why have you come? Whore Is tho
other? He does not come. I want
him; not you."
She rose from her peat, and wan
dered vaguely up and down, glancing
at tho two men from time to time
furtively, with troubled, distrustful
eyes. It soemed as If reason had
completely forsaken her brain, for
she murmured Incoherently In a
strangely medley of languages.
After a few moments sho suddenly
rrcoverrd her sense#, and appeared
to recognize tho two rnon again. It
was a terrible siqht, and even Wln
yard MJstley looked pale and bewil
dered. while his companion watched
Marie with the dull calmness of de
spair.

Columbia, S. 0., Speeiek ? The
third and final day's session of the I
Southern Stakes commissioners of sg- |
riculture and agrieultaural workers
was held, closing at It o 'stock. Just
prior to the conclusion of the meet
ing, after two ballots between Atlan- i
ta, Asheville and Nashville, the lat
ter place was ohoscs as the n?xt plaoe
of meeting.
Commissioner T. U. Hudson of At
lanta, (la., was unanimously elected
president, with Commissioner Blake
slee, of Jaokson, Miss., as lir?t vice
president, and Hon. H. 12. Hose, of
Florida, ;*s second vice pretfidont.
Dr. II. W. Kilgore, of North Caro
flaia, was ro^elected secretary, and
Dr. Macgrmler of Virginia, was re
eleeted assistant secretary and tTeas
urere.
During the session the special com
mittee appointed to canvass the re
port received from the several Stales
of the cotton belt estimating the 1907
cotton crop of the South, reported
through Commissioner Hudson, of
Genrgiu, who in presenting the report, ?
itaUd tLut the material difference be
tween the 190<i and the 11)07 crop
rented m the telegraphic estimate of
Commissioner Milner, of Texas, who
had reported the Texas srop at a
maximum of two and one-half million
baic*, with a minimum of two and
one-quarter million, against over 4,
000,000 iu 190t>.
Estimate of Crop.
Commissioner Hudson stated that
Texas was the one State in the South
'having a coinplcte"*^system of report
ing the cotton crop. The report esti
mated upon the basis of carefully
gathered data from all the States fix
ed the li>UT crop at 11,412,829 run
ning bales, against 13,439,734 running
bales ,vs reported for the crop of 1900.
The chief feature of the final ses
sion was iui elaborate address upou
the subject ct" immigration by Mr. J.
H. Patton, secretary of the America*
immigration restriction league, who
dealt with thi* broad subject as aff
scting the South iu the most exhau
ive mauner. He suggested changes
thai he cousidered absolutely neces
sary in the Federal laws. In this con
uectiou he said :
"First and foremost, the Federal
law should not only allow ahsohflto
freedom for the Stale selection of
immigrants, but should aid and assist,
instead of hamper the work aloug the
lines of a picked immigration. As
conceived and demonstrated by ths
able commissioner of this State, whal
ever the ultimate effects upon New
York City as nu exporting aud im
porting cotton commission specula
tion port. In my opinion*, Steie su
pervision is the only plan if the Soulb
would escape immigration evils from
[which the North is suffering."
Agricultural Betterment.
