CHAPTER XXVL 1?
Continued.
**Ia It/' he asked, "anything to do
K, ^rith Charlie?"
Mrs. Wright appeared to be bnrled
i- fn thought. She uttered no reply,
hut leaning forward over her hus
band's shoulder, she plsced her finger
on the map, where the red and black
lines met beneath the word Bokhara.
; A pitiful silence followed, auch as
leaves Its mark upon the hutaan ;
heart.
"Good God!" whispered the col
> onel.
Mrs. Wright went toward the win
dow. The band that held back the
hear? curtain was twisted and some
what out of place. Slipping It off the
hook, she deftly put It right, and then
ahe turned her face slowly toward
her husband.
"Then you think ? he has. failed?"
\ she said In a monotonous volte.
The colonel sat at the table with
> hi; chin resting on his folded hands.
He was staring at the map.
"We should have heard from him
*Ix months ago," was his reply.
Mrs. Wright crossed the room, and
aat down on a low chair near the fire.
\ For nearly an hour they remained
thus, the white-haired old warrior and
his comely, gray-haired wife. After
twenty-four years of married life
they were lovers still; and ss they
sat there ? he looking out Into the
yellow mist, she watching the change
ful flames as they leaped up and fell
again ? they were recalling the weary
* years of waiting they had passed
through. Ignorant of the love that
lay hidden in either heart.
Presently the door opened, and.
with a flood of warm light, Lena en
terted.
"I verily believe you were both
sfund asleep!" she exclaimed, with
' ? cheerfulness which for some reason
9 made her mother wince. "Is it not
dreadful ? lamps at eleven o'clock lr
the morning!"
CHAPTER XXVII.
Laurance Lowe's Dinner Party.
A month had elapsed since Charles
^listley's return, and as yet he found
himself no nearer an elucidation of
* Lena's altered manner than he had
been on first discovering it. He had
merely confirmed his original con
fi victlon that such a change existed.
During those four weeks he had been
l much in the society of Laurance
Lowe, as every frequenter of the
colonel's house was forced to be, but
from him no information had trans
pired. True, they had talked togeth
er very little, both being silent men.
Laurance Lowe was not whst the
world is pleased to call a hospitable
maq. This arose less, perhaps, from
thjlt sense of economy which is the
insult of a solitary existence than
'? from mental laziness.
Charles Mistley was by no means
Ignorant of these traits In the char
acter of Laurance Lowe, which the
world naturally quoted against him
with infinite gusto; and wh<3Q, there
fore, he received a curtly worded In
vitation to dine at a club, he knew
that there was some reason for it.
The meal was ludicrously charac
V teristic of the two men. No word
4} was exchanged, directly, between
them. Occasionally a mutual friend
lounged to their table with a nod of
recognition, and made a remark to
which both listened with grave at
tention, Charlie replying to it, while
Lowe silently acquioscod. The old
gentleman did not, however, do badly
< as regards the dinner, and the sailor
did better ? the waiter did best In
the lift cupboard. "Lowe's dinner
* party" was a standing joke at that
club for some weeks afterward.
He smoked meditatively for somo
'?foments, then, without looking to
ward his companion, he utterod the
single word: "Ivcna!"
v Charles Mistley examined his cigar
critically, and' with much apprecia
tion.
"Ye-es," he replied, gravely.
Then Lowe made a herculean ef
Sfort.
"I think," ho said, "thcro Is some
.1 thing wrong."
The young sailor's calm eyes were
^ resting on his host's Immovable face.
He might aa woll have attempted to
read the features of a sphinx.
"I have noticed It," he observed,
* conversationally, "ever since I came
back."
The Ice was broken, the first word
was said, and now it surely whs easy
\ tnou^h to nroccod, Only Knullshmrn
could have failed so lamentably to
I take sdvantago of tho situation.
They actually continued smoking,
tnd presently Charlie took a sip of
coffee, which, slight though it may
tppear, as a mere incident was
inough to make matters worso.
"Monsieur Jacobi," said Lowe, sud
lenly. "Do you remember him?"
"Jteobi!" repeated the sailor,
ightfully. "Jacobi! There was
oj^that name came one night
tually a gleam of life beneath W> ?T*"
brows.
"That la, the man."
"I remember bim. A slippery
looking fellow ? toO sleek for my
taste."
Lowe nodded approval, and then
?aid, quietly:
"He 1b In It somewhere."
Charlie, completely pawled, wait
ed with extraordinary patience till
the peculiar old gentleman should be
pleased to vouchsafe further Informa
tion, At length, after carefully de
positing the ash of his cigarette In,
the fire, Lowe spoke again:
"He came that night ? with the
Baroness Nantllle."
"Yes, I remember her."
"Lena Is now having singing les
sons with the baroness."
At lsst Charlie lost patience. He
threw his cigar Into the lire, and, ris
ing from his seat, stood In front ol
his host with his "able" arm resting
on the mantleplece.
"I wish," he said, without raising
the level tones of his voice, but
speaking rather hurriedly, "that you
would tell me what you suspect, what
you know, and what you wish to
know. If we are to help each other,
there must be no reticence between
us. Of what has been going on dur?
lng the last year I know absolutely
nothing. Mrs. Wright's letters have
rarely alluded to Lena. The colonel
never wrote? Lena herself rarely.
My mother has been away In France.
You, and you alone, are the only
source of Information that I have.
I need hardly tell you that I am a?
uneasy about this matter as your
self. All I know Is that Lena Is dif
ferent; all I suspect Is that her
mother Is no longer her confidante
In everything."
Laurance Lowe looked slowly up
Into his companion's face, while the
hand that held the cigarette shook s
little.
"Seen that too?" he said. Interroga
tively. "All I know is that since she
has been taking lessons there has
been something wrong. Before that
she was anxlouB about your brother.
We have all been anxious; but now
.It Is something more than anxiety."
"And what do you suspect?"
"Seems to me that Jacobl has suc
ceeded In establishing some Influence
over her. The girl Is afraid of him "
"Lena goes to this woman's house
for the lessons?" asked Charlie.
"Yes."
"Could we not get thht altered?"
suggested the sailor, whose Ideas
were quick, though his speech was
slow.
"Tried It."
"You have tried It? And who ob
jected?"
"Lena ? piano or something."
"Did any one make Inquiries about
the Baroness de Nantllle before this
arrangement was made?" asked
Charlie, who now turned and re
sumed his seat.
"Yes. She had a long and severe
Illness. Found, when she got better,
that her property, which was all In
Russia, had been confiscated, father
banished, mother dead. Reduced
circumstances, took to giving singing
lessons. She sings like an angel her
self."
"And have you done anything
about Jacobl?"
"Lives by teaching violin. Has
many foreign friends. Eminently
respectable; Is supposed to be con
nected with several foreign political
societies."
"Um ? m ? ! In fact, he Is a shady
character?" suggested the sailor.
"Infernal swindler!"
They sat and talked In the same
aggravatlngly "unfinished" manner
until late into the night.
"I think you and I can settle Ja
cobl," the old man p-ald, as he shook
hands that night with the young
sailor.
CHAPTER XXVIII.
In the , Desert.
A grim, silent desert? a great level
horizon, lifeless, waterless, hopeless.
The sun, a scorching ball of Are, was
now almost touching the unbroken
line of sand, and yet the heat ho gave
forth was so strong, as parching, and
terribly merciless as that of thu hot
test autumn noon in England.
Over the trackless plain a traveler
was plodding painfully. One hand
held the bridle of a limping horse,
and on tho poor brute's back was
huddled a hnmen form. This sorry
ralravftdn was s'.eering towarrl thp
r-.etting nau a littlo to tho northward
ol It. . ,
The man who led the horse was
Nightly above the medium height; a
brown oval face all caked with sand
and dirt; his short pointed beard
was dull and dusty. The huge tur
ban on his head overshadowed the
upper part of his face, and from be
neath its shade there locked forth a
pair of eyes dark with sullen despair.
The man on horseback was of
I slighter build. He was all huddled
| up on the saddls, while his epin lit
jerslly rested o* Ms breast. His tor
the tnd of It hnc down over his taeai
Both hands grasped the high pommel
of the Tartar saddle; his lees swans
helplessly with each movement of the
horse.
81 nee sunrise they had been on the
march, and the horse ? a mere skel
eton with flapping ears and ungainly
neck ? ehowed fatigue more than the
man walking at its side. Every now
and then the poor brute stumbled
forward as if about to drop from
sheer weariness, and on each occa
sion the rider would slightly raise his
head. For some hours perfect si
lence had fallen over the two men;
their blackened Hps were so hard
and dry as to render articulation
nearly impossible. Suddenly the
horse gave a great lurcn forward,
/and falling to recover himself, col
lapsed sideways with a piteous groan.
The man at its head dropped the
brtdle and with marvellous rapidity
slipped his arm round his compan
ion'* drooping body.
"Look out, Paul!" he exclaimed,
hoarsely, in Russian.
The rider made no attempt to as
slit himself, and as the horse fell,
his full weight dime upon Ills com
panion, who, however, managed to
step back and keep free from the
poor brute's dying kicks.
The man on horseback had actual
ly been asleep, and as his companion
laid him gently on the warm sand, he
slowly opened his heavy eyes.
"Little father," he murmured The
corners of his mouth were closed with
a deposit of black sand, and his Hps
hardly moved. The other put aside
the loose end of Jthe turban cloth,
and exposed a fair, boyish face with
languishing blue eyes, and a Jaw so
square as to be almost a deformity.
The sun had burned the fair skin
in some places, leaving the others
pale, the result being a fantastie
medley of brown, reds and pinks.
"Paul!"
"Yes, little father."
"You are better for your sleep
is that not so?" asked the other,
kindly.
But the younger man lay still, with
his blue eyes half closed. His mouth
was so parched that he could scarce
ly move his tongue.
"We will divide what water there
Is left," said the elder man, decisive
ly. And he turned toward the pros
trate horse.
From the saddle he detached a
large gourd, which gave forth a ter
ribly hollow sound, and after some
searching In a loose bag that was
suspended from his shoulder he found
a small drinking vessel,' cunningly
manufactured from half a gourd.
He kept his back carefully toward
his companion as, kneeling on the
ground, he extracted the wooden
stopper.
Then the young man painfully
turned over on his face, and, crawl
ing along, stealthily approached. As
his companion elevated his arm to
raise the gourd he dragged himself
forward and watched the yellow
water trinkle Into the vessel with
eyes devoid of human feeling. They
were like the eyes of a wild beast in
sight of blood.
Slowly and deliberately the man
poured all the water Into the little
vessel; he appeared to have forgot
ten the division of which he had
?poken. f
In setting down the gourd he
glanced to one side, and caught
sight of his companion lying on the
ground at his side, with agonising
eyes fixed upon the water vessel.
Then he turned, and for some sec
onds their eyes met; in one face was
steady determination, In the other a
wavering weakness, rendered terri
ble by the brutellke agony of the
eyes.
"You drink your share first," said
the younger man, painfully.
"I do not want any. I ? I ? am not
thirsty."
This with cracking lips and tongue
as dry as leather.
The younger man ttempted to
raise himself, while the contortions
of his dlscolorcd face were terrible
to look upon.
"You drink your share first," he
repeated hoarsely.
"Will you drink It all?" The
elder man gently Incllnod the drink
ing cup so that Vne water glistened
on the edge.
"Will you drink It all?" ho re
peated.
One precious drop fell on the sand,
and the dampness of It vanished -in?
stantaneously.
"Will you drink ? It ? all?"
Then he held the cup to his com
panion's Hps, and the water was
gone.
IIo who did that deed to a dying
man ? beneath no gaze but that of
his God ? was Winyard Mistley. The
young man was his servant.
Now ho sat upon the sand and
took hlt> servant's head upon his
knocn.
The cooler air now revived Paul
Marltch. He turned hla head to
where Mistley lay cn the sand at his
side.
The Englishman heard iho move
ment and crawled closer to him.
"Mistley," whispered the dying
mj'i,
"Yes, Pav.!."
"If you live through thls?, never let
thom know that I am dead. Let the
burden of my existence weigh on his
mind. Whllo he thinks I am alive,
he will never know a moment's peace.
Let this be my legacy to the man vho
made me what I am."
Winyard Mistley crouched on the
sand In silence. He had an English
man's awkward shyness of mention
ing the name of God in other sense
than exclamatory, and yet he shiv
ered to think that this man was
really dying in hit arms with Mas*

Penalty For Lata Trains.
The house sent to third reading the
bill introduced by Mr. Douglsss,
amending the code, so ss to increast
the penalty for late trains. The aao
tion as amended, should the bill pass
the senate, will read as follows:
"Section 2170. Whenever any pas
senger train on any railroad in this
State shsll be more than one-qusrtcr
of one hour behind its schedule time
it shall b^the duty of such railroad
company to keep posted at every tele
graph station along its line, when a
telegraph operator is on duty at such
station, the time such train is be
hind its schedule, and shall change
such bulletin every quarter-hour un
til such train arrives, stating therein
the time which, such train is behind
and the hour at which it is expected
to arrive: Provided, That such bulle
tins shall not be required to be post
ed at any station until one-quarter
hour before the regular schedule time
at which such train is to arrive at
the station at which such bulletin is
required to be kept.
"Any railroad company which
shall refuse or neglest to comply with
the provisions of this section shall
forefit and pay the sum of $100 for
each and every such refusal or neg
lect; said sum to be sued for by the
person aggrieved in the county in
which such refusal or neglect occurs,
one-balf of which sum shall be turn
ed over to the county treasurer lor I
ordinary county purposes and the
sther half retained by the person so
aggrieved.' *
Third Reading Bills.
After some discussion the house
recommitted two third reading bills.
One of these was from Mr. Hughes,
providing for the payment of attor
neys' fees in suits for the partition
of real, estate out of the general fund.
The other was from the senate and
amended the code so that the time
for speeches of attorneys should be
limited to two hours in* civil cases.
Mr. A. O. Brico thought this bill in
t or f erred with the courts and the
present rule sufl|cient for all purpos
es. By a division vote of 54 to 6 hi*
motion to recommit prevailed.
Senator Christensen's bill abolish
ing the office of master in Beaufort
county, was ordered to be enrolled.
The law goes into effect June 1, 190S.
Other bills passing a third reading
and already mentioned were:
Mr. Croft ? A bill to amend article
10, chapter 5, of the eodc of laws,
vol. 1, 1902, by adding thereto a sec
tion to be known as section 2109a.
Mr. VonKolnitz ? A bill to amend
subdivision 4 of section 155 of the
code of civil procedure, vol. 2, eodo
of laws, 1902, relating to the service
of summons.
Mr. Legnre ? A bill to provide a
penalty for larceny of boats.
Mr. Legare ? A bill to prevent the
adulteration of rice flour.
Marriage License Law Fails.
Another attempt to pass a marri
age license law failed in the House
Wednesday after a heated debate
lasting about an hour. The bill was
favored by members from counties
'having large cotton mill populations,
? where there is rmich marrying, and
by Representatives of counties bord
ering on North Carolina ami Georgia,
especially North Carolina. The bill
was killed by a vote of 59 to 47, be
ing opposed on the ground that it
was a step toward a divorce law. and
would complicate proving marriages
in civil cases.
The House without a dissenting
voice passed a very important hill
by Mr. Nash, forbidding the employ- I
ment of minors without tlie consent
of parents or guardians, but allow
ing such minors to make contracts
for their services independent of par
ents or guardians do not provido
homes for them. The bill is intend
ed to prevent loafing fathers in man
ufacturing centers from living off the
wages of their children.
jsiecnona Are aaaae.
The joint assembly elections were
devoid of exciting incident. There
was no opposition to Associate Jus
tice Eugene B. Gary, who was re
elected on the monotonous call of the

tution requiring this whether there

Borde, State Librarian, was also re
elected without opposition.
Col. Robert Aldrich, of Barnwell,
defeated Capt. Claude E. Sawyer, of
Aiken, for judge of the second cir
cuit, vice James Aldrich, resigned,
