CHAPTER XVI.
AND WHO FORGOT IT,
T
was somewhat
inconsistent with
Royal Thatcher’s
embarrassment and
sensitivem'ss that
ho should, on leav
ing the Capitol,
order a carriage
and drive directly
to the lodgings of
Miss Do Haro.
That on finding
she was not at home, he should become again
sulky and suspi ions, and even be ashamed
of the honest impulse that led him there,
was, 1 sujiposc, manlike und' natural. He
felt that he had done all that courtesy re
quired; ho had promptly onfcrerod her dis
patch with his presence. If she chose to be
absent at such a moment, he had at least done
his duty. In short, there was scarcely any
absurdity of the Imagination which this one*
practical man did not permit himse lf to in
dulge in, yet always with a certain conscious
ness that he was allowing his feelings to run
away with him—a fac t that did not tend to
make him better humored, and rather in
clined him to place the r sponsibility of the
elopement on somebody else. If Miss Do
Haro had Iwcn home, ct ., etc., and not going
into ecstacics over speeches, etc., et'\, and
had attended to her busines, i t.. being ex
actly vhat be had supi>osed her to be—all
this would not have happened.
1 am aware that this will not heighten the
reader’s respect for my hero. But I fancy
that the imperceptible progress of a sincere
passion in the matured strong man is apt to
1)0 marked with even more than the usual
haste and absurdity of callous youth. The
fever that runs riot in the veins of the robust
is apt to pass your ailing weakling by. Possi
bly there may be some immunity in inocula
tion. It is Lothario who is always self-pos-
sefsod and docs and says the right thing,
while poor honest Ccelebs becomes ridiculous
with genuine emotion.
rejoined his lawyer in no very rraciou*
mood. The chambers occupied by Mr. Har-
lowe were in the basement of a private dwell
ing once occupied and made historic by ay
Honorable Homebody, who, however, was
remembered only by the landlord and the
last tenant. There were various shelves in
the walls divided into compartments, sarcasti
cally know es “pigexm holes,” in which the
dove of i>eace had never rested, hut which,
still perpetuated jn their legends the feuds
and animosities 'of suitors now hut common
dust together. There was a portrait, appar
ently of a cherub, which on nearer inspec
tion turned out to be a famous English lord
chancellor hi his flowing wig. There were
books with dreary, unenlivening titles—ego
tistic always, os recording Smith’s opinions
on this and Jones’ commentaries on that.
There was a handbill tacked on the wall,
which at first offered hilarious suggestions of
a circus or a steamboat excursioti, but which
turned out only to be a sheriff’s sale. There
were several oddly shaped pac kages in news
paper wrappings, mysterious and awful in
dark cornel's, that might have contained for
gotten law papers or the previous week’s
washing of the eminent counsel There were
one or two newspapers, which at first offered
entertaining prospects to the waiting client,
but always proved to be a law record or a
supremo court decision. There was, t^p bust
of a late' distinguish**! jurist, which appar
ently had never been dusted since ho himself
became dust, and had already grown a per
ceptibly dusty mustache on his severely judi
cial upper lip. It was a cheerless place in the
sunshine of day; at night, when it ought by
every suggestion of its dusty past to have
been left to the vengeful ghosts, the greater
part of whose hojxjs and passions were re
corded and gathered there; when in the dark
the dead hands of forgotten men were
stretched from their dusty graves to fumble
once more for their old title deeds; at night,
when it was lit up by flaring gaslight, the
hollow mockery of this dissipation was so ap-
jwirent that people in the streets, looking
through the illuminated windows, felt as if
the privacy of a family vault had been in
truded upon by body-snatchers.
Royal Thatcher glanced around the room,
took in all its dreary suggestions in a half
weary, lialf indifferent sort of way, and
dropped into the lawyer’s own revolving
chair as that gentleman entered-from the ad
jacent room.
“Well, 3'ou got back soon, I see,” said Har-
lowe briskly
“Yes,” soU hi3 client, without looking up,
and with this notable distinction between
himself and all other previous clients, that he
seemed absolutely less interested than the
lawyer. u Yes, I’m here; and, upon my soul,
I don’t exactly know why.”
“You told ne of certain papers you had
discovered,” said the lawyer suggestively.
“Oh, yes,” returned Thatcher with a slight
yawn. “I’ve got here^ome papers some
where”—ho began to feel in his coat pocket
languidly—“but, by the way, this is a rather
dreary and God-forsaken sort of place! Let’s
go up to Welcker’s, and you can k>jk at them
over a bottle of champagne. ”
• “After I’ve looked at them, I’ve something
•*• show yofl, myself," snU liar low V; “and as
for the champagne, wo’ll have that in the
other room, by and by. At present I want
to have my head clear, and yours too—If
you’ll oblige mo
it on the desk—“there are some papers. 1
don’t know what vak*o they may bo; that is
for you to detenniue. I don’t know that I've
any legal right to their ponezdon—that is
for you to say, too. They came to me in a
queer way. On the overland journey here I

some letters and papers ‘of iio.value, 1 as tin*

T7ell, the bag was lost, but the stage driver
declares that it was stolen by a fellow |>as-
sengcr—a mouby tho name cl Gile?, or Gtiiet,
or Bikr ” *
“Wiles,” said Harlowo earnestly.
“Yes,” continued Thatcher, suppressing a
yawn; “Yes, I guc?3 you’re right—Wiles.

liarlov o disappeared in tho adjoining room
Thatcher dragged Harlowe’s heavy, revolving
i -*sk chair, which never Ixjfore had been ro*
moved from its sacred position, to the fire,
and began to poke the coals abstractedly. I
Harlowe reappeared with cigars and
matches, Thatcher lit one Mechanically, and
said, between the puffs:
“Do you—ever—talk—to yourself?”
“No!—why?”
“I thought I heard your voice just now in
the other room. Anyhow, this is an awful
spooky place. If I stayed here alone half
an hour, I’d fancy that the lord chancelloi
up there would stop down in his robes, out of
bis frame, to keep mo company.”
“Nonsense! When I’m busy I often sit hei%
and write until after midnight. It’s so quiet!"
“D—mnably to!”
“Well, to go back to the papers. Borne- :
iKxly stole your l>ag, or you lost it. Yov
stole ”
“The driver stoic,” suggested Thatcher, si*
languidly that it could hardly be called an ii>
terruption.
“Well, well say the driver stole, and passed
over to you as his accomplice, confederate o? j
receiver, certain papers belonging ” ,
“Bee here, Harlowe, I don’t feel like joking
in a ghostly law office after midnight. Here
are your facts. Ynba Bill, the driver, stole a
bag from this passenger, Wiles, or Smiles
and handed it to me to insure the return o£
my own. I found in it some j apers concern
ing my ease. There they are. Do with them
what you like.”
Thatcher turned his eyes again abstractedly
to the fire.
Harlowe took out the Pn-st paper.
“A-w, this seems to be a telegram. Yes,
eh? ‘Come to W ashing ton at once. Carmen
de Haro.’”
Thatcher started, blushed like a girl, and
hurriedly reached for the paper.
“Nonsense. That’s a mistake. A dispatch
I mislaid in the envelope.”
“I see,” said the lawyer dryly.
“I thought I hud torn it up,” continued
Thatcher after an awkward pause. I regrejj
to say that here that usually truthful man
elaborated a fiction. He had consulted it a
dozen times a day on the journey, and it w’as
quite worn in its cnfoldlngs. Harlowe’s quick
eye had noticed thls^but he speedily became
interested and absorbed in the other papers, j
Thatcher lapsed Into contemplation of the fire.
“Well,” said Harlowe, finally turning to his
client, “here’s enough to unseat Gashwiler, or
cTose his mouth. As to the rest, it’s good |
reading—but I needn't tell you—no legal evi-!
dence. But it’s proof enough to stop them
from ever trying it again—when the exist
ence of this record Is made known. Bribery is
a hard thing to fix on aamau; the only witness
is naturally porticcps crirainis;—but it would
not be easy for them to explain away this ras
cal’s record. One or two things I don't under
stand: What’s this -opposite tho Hon. X’s
name, ‘Took the medicine nicely, and feels
better!’ und here, just in tho margin, after
‘Must lie labored with?' ” .
“I suppose our California .slang borrows
largely from tho medical and spiritual pro
fession,” returned Thatcher. “Bqt Isn’t it
odd that a man should keep a conscientious
record of his own villainy?”
Harlowe, a little abasbod at his want of
knowledge of American metaphor, now felt
himself at home. “Well, no. It’s not un
usual. In one of those books yonder there
is the record of a case where a man,
who had committed a series of nameless
atrocities, extending over a period of years,
absolutely kept a memorandum of them in
nr* pocket diary. It was produced in court.
Why, my dear fellow, one half of our busi
ness arises from tho fact that men and
women ore in the habit of keeping letters and
documents that they might — I don't* say,
you know, that they Ouij.,1. that’s a question
of sentiment or ethics—but that they might
destroy.” /
Thatcher half mechanically took the tele
gram of ]>oor Carmen and threw it in the
fire. Harlowe noticed the act and smiled.
“I'll venture to say, however, that there's
nothing in the bag that ;,ou lost that need
give you a moment’s uneasiness. It’s only
your rascal or fool who carries with him that
which makes him his own detective.”
“I had a friend,” continued Harlowe, “a
clever fellow’ cnqpgh, but who was so foolish
as to seriously complicate himself with a
woman. Ho wa# himself the soul of honor,
and at ihc beginning of their correspondence
ho proposed that they should each return the
other’s letters with their answer. They did
so for years, but it cost him ten thousand
dollars and no end of trouble after all.”
“Why?” asked Thatcher simply.
“Because he was such an egotistical ass as
to keep the letter proposing it, which she had
duly returned, among his papers* os a senti
mental record. Of course somebody eventu
ally found it.”

Those rocks are powerfully handled; what a
suggestion of mystery in those shadows!
You know the painterf”
Thatcher murmured, “MLs De Haro,” with
a new and rather odd self-coaseionsness in
speaking her name.
“Yes. And you know the story of the pic
ture, of course?” '
Thatcher thought he didn’t. Well, no; in
fact he did not remember.
“Why, this reeumltent figure was an old
Spanish lover of hors, whom site believed to
have byn murdered there. It’s a ghastly
fancy, isn't it?”
Two things annoyed Thatcher; first the
epithet “lover,” as applied to Concho by
anouhe) man; second, that the picture be
longed to him; and what the d—1 did she
mean by :
“Yes,” he broke out finally; “but how did
you get it?”
“Oh, I bought it of her. I’ve been a sort of
patron of her ever since I found out how she
stood towards us. As she was quite alone
here in Washington, my mother and sister
have taken her up, and have been doing the
social thing.”
“How long since?” asked Thatcher.
‘Oh, not long. Thy day # she telegraphed
you she came here to know* what she could do
for us, and when I said nothing could be done
except to keep congress off, why she went
and did it. For she, and she alone, got that
speech out of the senator. But,” he added,
a little mischievously, “you seem to
very little about her?”
“No—I—that is—I’ve been very busy late
ly,” returned Thatcher, staring at the picture.
“Does she come here often?”
“Yes, kfftely, quite often; she was here this
evening with mother; was here, 1 think, when
you came.”

“Iloosii! Shall I have to hit you again?” I

Bhe to****! over the back of her chair an
envelope to Thatcher. He opened it.
“I see,” he said gently, “you rtqiossessed
yourself of it!”
“What is that—‘r-r-r-o—possess!' ”
“Why!” — Thatcher hesitated — “you got
posseesiou of this paper—this innocent for
gery—again.”
“Oh! You think me a thief us well as a
forgaire. Go away! Get up. Get out.”
“My dear girl ”
“Look at the paper! Will you? Oh, you
silly!” -
Thatcher looked at the paper. In i>aper,
handwriting, age and stamp it was identicai
with tho formal, clerical application of
Garcia for the grant. The indorsement of
Micheltoreua was unquestionably genuine.
Jiutilie application was made for Royal
Thateh' r.*+ And his own signature was imi-
tated to the very life.
“I had but one letter of yours wii your
name,” said Carmen, ajx)logetk'ally; “and it
was tho best poor me could do.”
“Why, you blessed little goose and angel,
said Thatcher, with the bold, mixed metaphor
of amatory genius, “don’t you see ”
“Ah, you don’t like it—it is not good?”
“My darling!”
“Hoosk! There is also an ‘old cat’ up stairs.

tossed off the liquor at a draught, and rose to time got hold of the tiack of Carmen’s chair—
tell me, my own little girl, about—about
his feet.
“Come, old fellow, you're not going now.
I shan’t permit it,” said Harlowe, laying his
hand kindly on his client's shoulder. “Vou’re
out of sorts. Stay here with mo to-night.
Our accommodations are not large, but are
elastic. I can bestow you comfortably until
mqiniii^. Wait here a moment, while I give
the necessary orders.”
Thatcher was not sorry to lie left alone. In
the last half hour he had become convinced
that his love for Carmen de Haro had been in
some way most dreadfully abused. While lie
was hard at w’ork in California, she was
being introduced in Washington society by
parties with eligible brothers, who bought
her pointings. It is a relief to the truly jeal
ous mind to indulge in plurals. Thatcher
liked to think that she was already beset by
hundreds of brothers.
He still kept staring at picture. By and
by it faded away in j>art , and a very vivid rec
ollection of tho misty, midnight, moonlit walk
he had once taken with her came 1 »ack, aftd
refilled tho canvas with its magic. He saw
the ruined furnace; the dark, overhanging
masses of rock, the trembling intricacies of
that senator. You remember what you said
to him?”
“Ob, the old man? Oh, ?/ia? was business!
And you say of business, ‘d—u.’”
“Carmen!’’
“Don Royal!”
******
Although Miss Carmen had recourse to her
fan frequently during this interview*, the air
must have been chilly, for a moment later, on
bis way down stairs, poor Harlowe, awsufferer
from bronchitis, was attacked with a violent
fit of coughing, which troubled him all the
w*afy down.
“Well,” he ;ai.!,-os ho ente red the room, “I
see you have found Mr. That.-her, and shpwn
those papers. I trust you have, for you’ve
certainly had time enough. F am sent by
mother to dismiss you all to lied.”
Carmen, still in the arm chair, covered with
her mantilla, did not speak.
“I sap. ose you are by this time lawyer
enough to know,” continued Harlowe, “that
Miss De Haro’s paiiers, though ingenious, are
not legally available, unless ”

foliage, and, above all, the Hash of dark eyes | you’re a good fellow! I don’t min i saj mg to
under a mantilla at his shoulder. What a
fool he had been! Had ho not really been as
senseless and stupid ns this very Concho,
lying here like a log? And she had loved that
man! What a fool she must have thought
him that evening! What a snob she must
think him now!
He was startled by a slight rustling in the
passage, that almost ceased es he turned.
Thatcher looked toward the d<x)i* of tho outer
office, as if half expecting that the lord chan
cellor, like the commander in ‘‘Don Juan,”
might have accepted his thoughtless invitation. I
Ho listened again; everything was still. He
was conscious of feeling ill at ease and a trifle j
nervous. What a long time Harlowe took to j
make his preparations. He would look out in '
the hall. To do this it was necessary to turn ;
up the pis. He did so, and in his confusion ;
turned it out!
Where were the matches? Ho remembered
that there was a bronze something on the
able fiat, in the irony of modern decorative j
taste, might hold ashes or matches, or any- !
thing of •an unpicturcsque character. He
kno ked sofnetking ovea* evidently the ink-
something else—this time a champagne glass.
Becoming reckless, and now groping at ran
dom in the ruins he overturned the bronze 1
Mercury on the center table, and sat down
hopelessly in his chair. And then a pail* ol
velvet lingers slid into his, with the matches,
and this audible, musical statement:
“It Is a match you are seeking? Here is at
"Ihem.” ^
Thatcher flushed, embarrassed, nervous— |
feeling the ridiculousness of saying “Thank j
you” to a dark somebody-struck the match,
beheld by its brief, uncertain glimmer Carmen
de Haro beside him, burned his fingers,
coughed, dropped the match, and was cast!
again into utter darkness.
“Let me try!”
Carmen’ struck a match, jumped briskly on |
the chair, lit the gas, juiqi>ed lightly down
again, and said: “You do like to sit in the j
dark—cli ? Bo urn I—sometimes—alone. ”
“Miss de Ihiro,” said Thatcher, with sud- :
den, honest earnestness, advancing with out- j
st* etched hands, “believe me, I am sincerely
delighted, overjoyed, again to meet ”
She had, however, quickly retreated as he
approached, ensconcing herself behind the
you that these are papers I prefer that my
j u*t e should not use. We’ll leave it for the
present—uufinl hed business.”
j They did. But one evening om* hero brought
Mrs. Royal Thatcher a paper containing a
! touching and beautiful tribute to the dead
; senator.
“There, Carmen, love, read that. Don’t
i you feel a little ashamed of your—your—your
lobbying ”
“No,” sail Carmen promptly. “It was busi
ness—and if all lobbying business was us
! honest—well ? ”
