Uncle Terry ...Bf... CHARLF.S CLARK MuNN Copyright, 1900, bj L?o ?i Sb.&p*?tS 13 CHAPTER XXV. |OW did 70 like the praver uioctiu*?" nskod Unclo Ter ry tho next morning as Al bert stood watching him get ting ready to start on bis dally rounds. "Did tho Widder Leu Hi make ye feel yo was a hopeless sinner?" "It was an Interesting experience," replied Albert, "and ono I shall not soon forgot." "Ob, It don't do 'em no barm to git together un' pray on' sing, an' most likely It dlvarts their minds from other troub!es; hut, In my way o' tblnktu', prayln' Is a good deal like a feller try In' to lift himself by bis boot straps. It encourages blin somo, but bo don't git much further." Then bo added, "You haven't thought o' no way to git me out o' my scrnpo, hov ye?" "I have thought a good deal about it," replied Albert, "and the best way, it seems to me. Is for you to go to Fryo and tell him you can't afford to carry the case any further and offer to pay whatever fee he sees lit to ask. You can toll him you will give up tho cobo entirely, and ask him to return tho proofs you want. I may decide to have a detoctlvo within bearing, so that If he refuses you these things wo can use the detective as a witness in a re plevin suit. Most likely ho will de mand qulto a sum, but lt^ls best to pay It If wo can get the proofs. I will advance money enough to cover what be Is likely to ask. What I wont you to do Is to wait until he sends for more money; then come to me at once." Unclo Terry looked at Albert a mo ment and suddenly, grasping his hand, exclaimed, "I can't thank ye 'nough for yer offer to help me, but I kin say bow sorry Inui I distrusted ye nt fust, nn' as long as I've a roof to cover my bead ye're sure to And a welcomo un der It an' the lntehstrlng nllus out" "I thank you for your kindly words, Mr. Terry," responded Albert, "and I am likely lo avail myself of your Invi tation again before tho summer Is over. I expect my friends bndk today and must Join them, but I assure you I would much prefer to stay here for the two weeks I bavo planned for my outlug." "Yo won't go till I see ye again, will yo?" asked Uncle Terry anxiously. "No. If the Oypsy shows up today wo will stay in tho harbor tonight, and I should like to have you and Miss Telly visit her." The n as the old man pushed off and pulled >ut of the cove with long, slow strokes, Albert watch ed him with a new Interest. "Poor old fellow:" he thought. "He Is honest os the day Is long and has a heart of gold beneath his blunt speech. Flow hard be has to work for what he gets, and what a vile thing In Fryo to rob him so!" When tho old man was out of sight Albert strolled over to tho vil lage. On the outer side of the harbor und opposite where the houses were he came to some long rows of slat benches, and busy nt work spreading spilt fish upon them was the old lady who had thanked tho Ix>rd so fervently nt the prayer meeting. For nn hour he strolled around the harbor watching the men nt work on boats or fishing gear and sniffing tho salt sea odor of the oeenn breeze, and then returned to the point and began sketching the llghthouso. Ho wns absorbed In that when he heard n sharp whistle, and, looking up, there was the Gypsy Just entering the harbor, lie run to the cove whore ho had left his boat, and by the time tho yacht was anchored had pulled alongside To his surprise no one wob aboard but Prank. "Whore are the rest of tho boys?" ho asked, as that young man grasped his boat. Frank laughed. "Well, just about now they are playing tennis and calling '11 fteen love' and 'thirty love' with a lot of girls down at Bar Harbor. The fact la, Bert," he continued as Albert stepped aboard, "our gander cruise has come to an end. They ran Into some Kirls they knew, and after that all tho Oypsy was good for was a place to eat and sleep in. I've run her up here and shall lot you keep her with you until you get ready to go home. I'm going to cut sticks for the mountains, and if I can get one of the girls to go with me I may visit Sandgate." Albert laughed heartily. "Want to bear some ono sing 'Ben Holt' again?'1 he queried. "Well, maybe," replied Frank. "The fact of tho matter Is, the whole trip has gone wrong from tbo start. You know what I wanted, but as It couldn't be, I did tho next best thing and inado up this party, and now the cruise has ended in a fizzle. By the w ly, where Is the girl will) the wonderful eyes yon met here?" "Just now I Imagine she's helping hoi" mother in tho house," answered Albert quietly; and then bo added, "Well, what Is tho programme, and where are you going with the. Gypsy?" "I want to ho landed at the nearest port where I can reach a railroad, and then you can do us you please with her. My skipper will do your bidding." "What about the rest of the boys?" "Well, you can run to Bar Harbor and dance with the girls until tho rest want to come back, or you can do as you please, The Oypsy is yours ns long as you wnnt her after I'm ashore. I think I'll run up to Hath and take the night train for the mountains If there Is one. If not, wo will lie nt Hath ovornlght." "I must go ashore and leave word I nm coming back," said Albert. "The fact Is I've found a client In this Mr. Terry, and It's nn important matter." "So IS Ilia bine eyed girl, I Imagine," observed Prank, with a droll smile. When (ho Irrepressible owner of tho Gypsy had deserted her Albert return ed to the ?'ape and remained Micro for a week. How many Utile hips ha in duced his now found friends to take i>n her dttl'lng thill lime, llOW much gosdp it created In the village and how many happy hours he and Telly passed to gether! The last day bul <m" of his stny ho invited everybody al tho Cape, old or yoting, lo n<> OHI on a short cruise, and nearly all accepted. When ibe morning <>f bis departure camo, Uncle Terry Bald, "I hope we'll nee ye soon, Mr. I'ago, and yo'l'O sure Of a welcome here, so don't forget us," and then be pulled fiway on his dally round i<> bis tinjis. Telly accompanied Albert to the cove whi le his boat was and bade him good by. When (he yacht rounded tho point she was there waving an ndleii and remained there until lost from sight. CHAPTER XXVI. mil 10 one point of prldo In Nich olas Pryo's nnturo wn? i?i? te-^rrrl absolute belief In his own (gg^ggj shrewdness. "They can't get the best of me," |ie would say to hlmr self when he had won on unusually knotty case. He knew he was both hatod and feared by his fellow mem bers of the bar. Being hated he didn't mind, and being fcarted flattered his vaulty to an lnteuse degree. When Undo Terry put himself In his power and, like a good nntured old sheep, stood to be sheared, Fryo only laughed at his client's stupidity and set out to eontlnuo the robbery as long as possi ble. Mossrs. Thygeson & Co. of Stock holm, who had llrst employed bhn to hunt up an heir to the estato of old Brie Peterson, whoso sou Nells and his young wife had been lost on tho coast of Maine, fared no better. To thorn ho only stated that he tiad fouftd several promising clews and was following them as rapidly as possible, but it all cost money, and would they kindly send a draft on account for necessary expenses, otc. When Albert had taken away his best client tho old scoundrel sufTored tho worst blow to his vaulty ho ever received. "Curse the fellow!" he would Ray to himself. "I'll pay him ami have revengo if I live long enough. No mnu ever got the host of me, and in tho long run no mau ever nhalU" Uut there is a Nemesis that follows evil doors in this world, ready to strlko with nn Invisible hand all who oro lost to tho sense of right and justice, in Frye's case tho avenging goddess lurk ed in bis inordinate belief in his own shrewdness, coupled with a fatuous love of speculation. A few lucky ven tures at first In tho stock market had fanned the flame. Then along came a war cloud in Eu rope. Stocks* began to drop and pro visions to advance. September wheat was then selling In Chicago at 00 cents. Frye bought 60,000 bushels on a mar gin. France and Oer many growled, and wheat rose to 04. Frye sold, clear ing $2.000. Then it dropped a cent, nnd Frye bought a hundred thousand bushels more. Once again the war cloud grew black, and wheat rose to 08. The papers wore full of wild ru mors, and tlie Wall Street Buglo said wheat would look cheap at a dollar and a half inside of a month. Then it ad vanced to $1, nnd Frye lost his head. Ills holdings showed a proilt of $7,000, nnd sudden riches stared him In the face. Once more the two bellicose for eign powers growled and showed their teeth. Wheat rose another cent, and Frye doubled his holdings. Then tho powers that had growled smiled faint ly, nnd In one day wheat fell to 03 and was still falling. At every drop of a cent ho wns called upon for $2,000. Day by day It Vibrated, now going up a cent nnd then dropping two, and when Uncle Terry aud Albert were discussing how to checkmate his further robbing of the lighthouse keeper he was, with muttered curses, watching his ill got ten gains vanish to the tune of many thousand dollnrs per diem, lie neg lected his business, went without his meals und forgot to shave, lie had mortgaged his real estate for $20,000, and that was nearly gone. Wheat was now down to 80, nnd Franco and Oer tunuy were sliaklug hands. Frye could not sleep nights. Ills margins were almost exhausted nnd his resources ns well. He hnd put up flO.ooo. nnd if wheat fell 3 cents more It would bo all swept away. Then he executed n second mortgage at high in terest und waited. It was the last shot In bis locker, and nil that stood between hint and ruin, but wheat advanced 2 cents, nnd he !>cgau to hope. He had absolutely ignored business for two weeks, and now lie went to work agnin. To collect the little due him nnd raise nil the money he could was his sole thought. Ho wrote to Thygeson & Co. that ho had at last found the heir they were In search of and described what I proofs he held, at the same time stat ing that on receipt of Ids fee of a thou sand dollars all nnd buMietent proofs of Identity of the claimant would be for warded. Then he wrote to Undo Terry and demanded $300 more. September wheat had now fallen to 78. CHAPTER XXVII. |T. A N OH N A 8 O N, Frank's younger sister, wns his good friend and sympathizer and in all the family discussions had usually tpken Ids part. Ills elder sister, Edith, was, like her mother, rath er arrogant nnd supercilious, nnd con sidered her brother as lacking In fam ily pride nnd liable to disgrace them by some unfortunate nllluncc. It was to Blanch ho always turned when he needed sympathy nnd help, nnd to her lie appeared the dny nfter he hnd left the Gypsy, ills coming to the moun tains surprised her not n little. "Why, what has brought you here, Frank?" she asked. "I thought you were having high Jinks down in Maine 011 the yacht with your cronies." "Oh, thnt Is played out," he answer ed. "The boys nie at Bar Harbor, hav ing a good time. Herl is at a little un heard of place saying sweet things to a pretty girl he found there, and I got lonesome, so I enmc up here to see you nnd get you to help me." "I thought so," answered Blnnch, laughing. "You never did come to mo unless you wanted help. Well, who Is the girl now, nnd what do you want?" Frank looked surprised. I "How do you know It is a girl?" he asked. "It usually Is with you," she answer ed, eying him curiously. "So out with It. What's her unino?" "Allco Pago," he replied. "What, tho girl you wanted us to Invite to go on the yncht?" nsked Blnnch. "That's the one, nnd, as you know, she wouldn't come." "Which shows her good sense," Inter rupted Hlnnch. "Well, whnt can I do In tho mntter?" "Much If 'you want to, nnd nothing If you don't," he answered. "The fnct Is, sis, I want you to pnek n trunk nnd go with me to call on her. She is mighty proud, nnd I Imagine thnt Is why she turned the cold shoulder on my efforts to got her to como to Bos ton to meet you nil. Now, If you go there, If only for one night, the ice will be broken, and of course you will in vite her to visit you nnd nil will go well." "A nice little scheme," responded Blanch, "but what will mamma and Rdo say?" "Oh, never mind them," answered (he plotter. "They need never know It. Just tell them you are going to Saratoga with mo for u few dnys. We will go there If yon like, only wo will stop off at Sandgate on the way. Now, do this fo?* me, sie, and I'll boy you tho enrth when Christmas comes!'' "Well, you will have to stay here until Monday," said Blanch, "and be rent nice to mnnimn and Fde nil the time, or I can't fix It. Lucky for you, Master Frank, thnt they are out driv ing now!" "But why must W0 wait four days?" nsked Frank petulantly. "Bocnuse, my lovo lorn brother, in fho first plnce I don't want to miss the Snturdny night hop, nnd then wo are hooked for a buekboard rldo tomorrow. Another reason Is I mean (0 pay fQ? forTuruJng your buck ou us ami going off on tho Gypsy." Thnt afternoon Frank wroto Alice tho longest letter sho had ever received, nine full pages. It was received with somo plensuro and a little vexation by Alice. "Mr. Nn8on and his sister are coining here Monday," said sho to Aunt Susan, "and wo must put on our best bib and tuckor, I supposo. But how we can contrlvo to entertain his sister Is be yond nie." Nevertheless, sho was rather pleased at the prospective visi tation. Her school had been closed for over a month and her dally lifo wns becoming decidedly monotonous. When Albert had written regarding tho Invitation tho Nusons had extend ed, sho behoved It was due solely to Frank's influence, and when that young man tried to obtain her consent to join a yachting party, providing his mother nnd sister decided to go, sho was morally Huro of it. But it made no dlfferenco, for if tho supposedly nrlstocrntlc Mrs. Nason had sent her n written invitation she was the last person in the world to accept it. To so go out of ber way for the posslblo op portunity of allowing the only son of a rich family to pay court to her was not characteristic of Alice Page. Bother a thousaud times would sho teach school In single blessedness all her life than bo considered as putting herself in tho way of n probnblu SUltor. Of her own feelings townrd Frank she was not at all sure. Ho was a good looking young fellow nnd no doubt stood well socially. At first she had felt a little contempt for him, due to his complaints that ho had hard work to kill time. When she received the letter announcing his determina tion to study law and become a useful man In the world Bhe thought better of him. When he came up in Juno it becntne clenr thnt he wns In lovo with her. So self evident wero Ills feelings thnt she at that time felt com pelled to avoid giving him n chanco to express them. Her heart was and always had been entirely free from the pangs of love, nnd while his devotion was in a way quite flntterlng, the one insurmountable barrier was his family Hod he been more diplomatic he would never have told her his mother frowned at him when he danced twice with a poor girl. "I am a poor girl," Alice thought, when ho mndo the admission, "but I'll wear old clothes all my life before his haughty mother shall read him a lec ture for dancing twice with me." Evor since the day Mrs. Moors had related the village gossip to her sho had thought a good many times about the cause of it, but to no one had sho mentioned the matter. Her only as sociate, good nntured Abby Miles, had never dared to speak of it, and Aunt Susan was wise enough not to. Now that Frank and his fashionable sister wero coming to Sandgote, Alice felt a good deal worried. Firstly, she knew her own stock of gowns was Inadequate. While not vain of her looks, she yet felt his sister would consider her couulriflod In dross or else realize the truth that she was painfully poor. She hod made the money her brother gave her go os fur us possible. Her own small salary wns not more than enough to pay cur rent expenses. When the day and train orrlved, and sho had ushered her two guests to their rooms, her worry began. A trunk hud come, and ns she busied herself to help Aunt Susan get supper under way before she changed her dress sho wns morally sure Miss Nason would appear In a gown lit for a state dinner. But when she was dressed and went out on the porch, whore her guests wero, sho found Miss Blanch at tired In n white muslin, severe In Its simplicity. It was a pleasant surprise, nnd at no time during their stay did Alleo consider herself poorly clad. During tho conversation that evening Blanch gave an Interesting description of her life in the mountains, who were there, what gowns the ladles wore, the hops, drives, tennis, croquet and whist games, and when thnt topic was ex hausted Alice turned to Frank und said, "Now, tell us about your trip." "There Is not much to tell," ho an swered in a disappointed tone. "The fact is, my yachting trip was a failure. 1 had a two weeks' trip all mapped out, no end of stores on hoard, and antici pated lots of fun, but it didn't materi alize, The second day Bert f,rot left on the Island, und we didn't lind hi in un til the next (lay. In the meantime he had found a pretty girl and acted as if he had become smitten with h'jr. Then wo ran to Bar Ilorlior, and the rest of the boys found souk; girls they knew and decided that a gander cruise had lost its (burins. So I threw up my hands and turned the Gypsy over to Bert, and for oil 1 know or care he is using her to entertain his island fairy." Alice Joined with Blanch In a good laugh at Frank's description of his trip. When the chitchat slowed down Alice said: "I don't know how to entertain you two good people in this dull place. Thore are mountains nnd woods galore nnd lots of pretty drives. And," look ing nt Frank, "I know where there Is a nice mill pond full of lilies and an Old moss covered mill and a miller that looks like a picture In story books. There Is nlso a drive to tho top of the mountain, where tho view is simply grand. I hnvo a steady going nnd faithful old horse, and we will go whop, over you like." "Do not worry about me, Miss Page," replied Blanch. "Tf i can see mountain and woods I uin perfectly happy." When the evening was Hearing its close Frank begged Alice to sing, but she declined. "Do you piny or sing, Miss NasonV" she nsked cautiously. "Oh, plenso don't be afraid of me," was the answer. "I never touched a piano In my life. Once In awhile I Join in the chorus, ns they say, for my own amusement and the amazement of oth ers, but that is nil." It wasn't nil, for she played Iho guitar and Rang s\\.tly. Finally Alice was persuaded to open the piano, and then out upon the still night air liiere floated many nn old (line ball.id. Aller that she played selections from a fc\V of tho latest light operas thai Frank hod sent her und Iii? u turned away. "Oh, don't stop now,'' exclaimed both her guests at once. "Slug a few move songs." Then, With almost ; u nit" of proprietorship, Frank nroso und, i ?!n ? to (ho piano, boo relied for nnd found n well worn some Without a word he opened It and placed it OH tho mualc rock, it wns "Ben Boll!" A ftilnl color rose in A llCO'iJ face, hut she tin li ed and played the prelude without a word. When she bad KUIlg the lii i ver ;e, to her surprise Blnnch was stand ing beside her and Joined liCI' voice in the next one. Win :i it was finished Frank Insisted on a repetition, nnd aft er thnt all three sang n doxon more of the sweet old UlUO BOllgS HO familiar to nil. Then Alice left tho room to bring In n light lunch, and Frank seized the opportunity to Bay, "Well, sis, what do you think V "I think," she ropiflcd, "thai yon were foolish to go yachting at oil. If I hod bieu you I should have conjO Hp i hero in (ho Hr.st place, stayed^111 the hotol and courted her evory chance I could. I tun In love with her uiyHclf, and wo huven't been hero six hours." Frank stepped up to her quickly and, taking her face in his hands, kissed her. CHAPTER XXVIII. WO days of Alice's vlBltutlun passed like a summer breeze. The llrst d??y they drove to the old mill und spent the en tire forenoon gathering lilies and watching tho great wheel that dripped and clattered between its moss grown walls. It was a curiosity to Blanch, for never in her life had she seen one of those old time landmarks, now so rare. That afternoon they drove to the mountain's top and suw tho sun set, only to be late home to Aunt Su buu'b tea biscuit ami cold chicken, and having a surprising appetite. The next day they made a picnic trip lo another mountain, leaving the horse halfway up and walking the rest of the way. At noon they returned, and beside a cold spring that bubbled beneath a rock thej' opened their lunch baskets. Then they picked Qowers, hunted for will* torgrcen and decked tho horse and wagon with ferns and wreaths of lau rel-only simple country pleasures, It Is true, but they at least had the charm of newness for two of the party. That evening they sang all sorts of souks from gospel hymns to comic operas, ami ltlanch showed In so many ways that she admired her new found friend that there was no further re straint. "I wish you would stay with me un til my school begins, Blanch," said Alice at the close of the evening. "If you knew how lonely I am, I am sure you would." "I might be persuaded to make a longer visit next summer," was the answer, "If you will return this visit next winter. Will you?" "I won't promise now," answered Alice. "I am afraid I should be out of placo In your society. I'm only n coun try girl, you know." "I shall feel hurt If you don't," re sponded ltlanch. "I should like to seo that Rcuoolhouso Frank has spoken of several times," she said a littlo later, "and that bare foot girl ho told about." It was the llrst allusion to his Inter est In her that Blanch had made, and Alice colored. "We will drive by where that girl lives tomorrow," responded Alice, "and, If you like, will call and see her. She Is the most original littlo old woman in my school." Tho next morning, whou Frank and his sister wero alone for a few mo ment.-., she said, "I am going to do you a good turn today, Sir Mahomet, and have a headache," and, laughing a lit tle, "If you arc wise you will improve your opportunities and persuade your 'Sweet Alice' to go after pond lilies and leave mo here." "I could not think of going after lilies," Alice replied when he proposed the trip, "and leaving your sister alone, and then it Is almost too warm to ho out In tho sun this morning. If she feels better this afternoon wo will go there when the sun gets, part way down." ltlanch kept quiet all tho morning and after dinner was the first to pro poso another trip to the Illy pond. "1 am In love with that old mill," she said, "and I want to see It when the sun gels down so It will be. shady there." When they reached the spot she at once devel iped an unusual interest In the mill and began an animated con versation with the miller regarding It and its history. "You two go after lilies." she said when Prnnk bad the boat ready, "and leave mo here. I'm afraid the sun on tho water will bring back my head ache." "All right, only your smiles will be wasted on (ho miller. He Is too old to appreciate (hem. We won't be gone long," said .Mice as she stepped Into the boat. And now what spirit of mis Chief had tome over her? Sin? Joked and jested on nil manner of subjects? (he boat, his rowing, Blanch's Interest In die miller ami her blue eyes spar kleil with roguish intent. She bared oie> round arm In (he elbow and, pull in:: every bud and blossom she could reach, pelted her cavalier with them. "Did you learn (hat stroke at col lego," she asked when one of his oars slipped, "or is lhal the w-.y t yachts man always rows?" In response to all this be said but lit tle, for he was thinking how best io say what was on his mind, lie beaded the boat for the shore, and as It came lo a stop he said: "Let's get nut and sit on the bank, Miss Tage. I want to rest." "Oh, we must not stop. It's almost sundown, and, besides, I want more lilies." "Won't you get out, Miss Tage?" he asked. "I've something I want to say to you and and it's nie?; to sit In the shade and talk." Without a word or even a look she arose and, taking his proffered band, stepped out Of the hoot. Only a few steps up a mossy bank offered Its temp tation, and with quick gallantry he dr< W his coat off and spread It for her to sit upon. "It's nice and cool here," she said, "but we must not stay long. Blanch will be waiting." Frank had thought many times of what he would say and how he would say it, but now that the critical mo ment had come bis well chosen words vanished. He had remained standing and for a moment looked at Alice as she sat with bat hidden face, and then his heart-burst came. "Miss Page," he said In a low VOlCC, "you must know what I want to say, and ami I've come all tho way from Maine (o sny It, and can you- Is there any hope for me? Is (here Just a littlo?*' Ho paused, but no answer came, only hor head sank n trllle lower, and now even tho tip Of her chin was Invisible beneath the bat. It may be the move ment emboldened him, for In an In stant he was beside her on the ground and had one band a prisoner. "Toll nie, Alice," ho pleaded, "Is there any chance for me? Say Just ono word only one! Sny 'yes'!" Tho prisoned hand was at his lips now, and then she raised her face, and ?oh, divine sight! those blue eyes Wore filled with tears. One instant (lash of heaven only, and then a change enme. She arOSO quickly and, turning nway, said half petulantly: "Oh, pleaso don't speak of that now and spoil our visit. Ix>t us go back to (he mill." But still ho held (he Utile bond, and as she tried to draw It away ho said pitifully: "Do you inenn it, Alice? Is it no? Oh. don't let mo go nwoy Without one word of hope!" (TO BE continukd.) ?jx *a w o xi.
