PART HI—CHAPTER IX.
WHAT QUEST BROUGHT.
Full memory hnJ come back now.
A heavy snow drove across Broadway,
freezing against the window of the hotel
whence Adrien Latour peered anxiously
into the late December day that closed
the old year
From Alexandria, where lie chanced |
on steamer day, he had gone direct to I
Paris. From the military attache of the |
United States legation there he learned
that Dale Everett had sailed for home
soon after the Martindales left for Egypt,
but that his arrival at a New York hotel [
liad jnst appeared in late papers. Latour
promptly cabled there, taking the next
Havre steamer; ami as her gangplank
touched the New York wliarf, not wait
ing "the law’s delay" iu custom house
matters he drove straight to the hotel.
Awaiting him there he found tough
old Dr. Minot, au army surgeon known
in boyhood’s days; and from him learned j
that his cable had reached Dale too lute 1
for answer. He had been ordered home
for special duty, and arriving Quite sick
had insisted on attempting it. Exfiosure
in the dre:ulful weather had developed
typhoid symptoms: and ho now lay ill at
the hotel.
“Is he dangerously ill?" Adrien asked
tho doctor, his face white with anxiety, j
"How tho devil can 1 say?" the old
surgeon answered gruffly. "You might
as well ask, Do men gut killed in battle?
Borne do; some don’t! Typhoid is as bad
as bullets. If he weathers the fifth day
from this he’ll probably pull through.
Come up and help nurse him."
And Latoor did nurse him, with the
tenderness of a woman, never leaving
the tiedside save to confer with the law
yer and detective he had promptly put
on a search for Bennie Mason. But ad
vertisements for heirs of Beverly Mason
were unanswered; and the detective sys-
Atem of New York remained ignorant
whether Bennie or her father was in that
rdy or not.
Twice in that weary suspense of five
lays Dr. Minot bad shaken his head om-
.nously on taking his patient’s temper
ature, and Adrien read in his face that
Dale wonld die. But twice the mighty
frame and unbroken constitution had
wrestled successfully with tho grim foe,
for it seemed that the strong will which
hail borne him from boyhood to honors
and distinction had decreed that the
matter it dominated should not yield.
But through the wandering fancies of
the fever one liad recurred again and
again—meaningless to all else, but thrill
ing Adrien Latour with infinite pity.
Half moan, half entreaty, would coma
the words:
"We’re old—old friends, Bennie!"
And hearing them the Creole had more
than once hid his face in the coverlet
and pressed his grim mustache against
the wasted hand lying helpless upon it
This was the day of crisis. Outside
the snowflakes flew faster and more
blinding, pedestrians turned up coat
collars about their ears, and the few cab
horses left at the stands seemed mutely
begging pity and shelter. Inside Dr.
Minot nodded comfortably in an easy
cliair before the fire, waiting the wak
ing so meaningful; Adrien Latour. at
the window, gnawed hi# mustache In
rustless thought, mechanically counting
the few street lamps now visible through
the storm.
Suddenly a movement in the bed, and
both watchers started forward to see the
longed for sanity in the eyea of Dale
Everett feebly tnrned from one to the
other. Gradually memory crept into
them, now steadily fixed on Latour; the
wasted Ungers crept out to his hand, and
as the Creole bowed his head over them
Dale whispered feebly:
“Letter—came—dear old boyP
Then, closing bis eyre in very weari
ness of content, he slept softly.
"Will he get well?" Adrien whispered
eagerly.
“How the devil can 1 tell?" again an
swered old Minot, this time rather husk
ily and with suspicious moisture in bis
eyes. And he blew his nose trumpet
like before he added, "Watching and
tonics and he’s all right now.”
Since the day his appointment as ca
det reached him In Paris, Latour had
never felt the Joy that now thrilled
through him. When the doctor left he
sat before the glowing ooala dreaming,
while the snow fell faster without and
darkness creot into tbs rick room. But
tiw oT a hU th ! D *“ T * t,le re,f, ‘ Ur
tug of his sleeping friend, saw noth-
mg but pictures of the long part in the

’Tapped twice, and feared to disturb
him the newcomer said, jerking hia
head toward the »lee|>er. "How s he
getting long?"
“Better Any luck?" Adrien replied
anxiously.
Tlie other motioned him into the par
lor and closed the door before he an
swered, Quietly:
"Luck’s not in my line, general. Dick
Peerman s reputation was made hy trust
ing to something better’u that No
luck."
The siieakcr was wiry, medium sized,
and close shaven. Hu was dressed in
scrnpulous black, with natty Ihx>U and
stitched tan gloves. The hat lie had not
removed was flat rimmed, with a broad
baud of crape. He was au or.linary man.
with two extraordinary things aliout
him: one that, coming from the furious
storm, there was no speck of moisture
on shiny hat or glossy boots: the other
tlie cool, incisive, meaningless stare of
of his keen, gray eyes. Yet Capt. Rich
ard Peerman w:is the sharpest detective
Uncle Sam had ever paid for unearthing
a paymaster .; “little game" in war or
"clicking the bracelets" round a felon’s
wrists in peace.
"So you cannot find any clew?" Latour
asked wearily; but lie eagerly seized the
card the other extended by way of an
swer.
"Toughest case I ever worked up on
no clew,” the detective said placidly.
"Tens o’ thousands of ’em exactly alike
in this town. But when Dick Peerman
goes for a thief or a woman, either may
as well come down."
Tlie Creole liad read the card over ami
over by the fitful firelight. VY ithout re
ply lie threw on a heavy army cloak, ami
whispering the other to wait stole out
and softly closed tlie door.
Through howling storm anti blinding
mow the driver of a chanced on cab
steered Latour over the East Side, where
tenements swarm with human venuin,
where poverty and pestilence stalk hand
in hand through mazes of their ceaseless
carnival. Miles they struggled north
ward, out of the closer district, to where
progress had not yet crowded his victims
so closely; then they stopped liefore a
tall, dingy house, and Latour, springing
out, ascended the crazy stair and pansed
at every landing.
At last he halted, a flood of wonder
ing, pitying tenderness sweeping his face
as he looked around that cheerless home
of poverty.
Twice lie raised his hand, twice he
pansed liefore he tapped nervously upon
tlie door. The answer came prompt and
sharp, but again be canght bis breath
hard before lie ventured to lift the crazy
latch.
Over a very small fire, in a clean but
almost bare room, sat Miss Tabitha Fay
and her brother. .She was only a shade
more angular, he far less rotund than
of yore; but over tlie faces of both time
and poverty had unmistakably passed
their hands.
“Nonsense, Brother Standi sill I did
hear a rap. Como in!” were the words
that carried the visitor back on a flood
of memory and pity.
Surprise, greeting and explanation
were soon over, and Latour asked anz-
iously:
“Where is Bennie?"
“She is rather later than usual this
evening,” Miss Tabitha answered apolo
getically. “She usually returns by early
lamplight."
“Where from?" queried Latour iinpa
tiently.
“It is a very long distance,” the spin
ster went on as indirectly as ever, “and
tlie artist photographer detains her at
this season."
"And she now, fortunately," Mr.
Stauuish put iu, “has beeu able to secure
extra work.”
“Work! A night like this! Thank
God! I have found her!” Adrien cried in
a half groan.
Then, answering at random the
spinster’s voluble cackle and the many
questions of her brother, tho Creole
paced the room nervously; ever and
again pressing his face against the frosty-
little pane, or [musing to catch her tread
upon tlie creaking stair.
At last it came. Pinched with cold
and covered with snow, Bennie yet ran
in cheerily and kissed her father before
she saw the visitor.
Oh! 1 beg pardon," she said. "I did
not know you liad a visitor, pH[m!—You
here!"
She drew up in surprise, as she recog
nized Latour, a dash of old time hauteur
over her face. But the expression on
his stopped her.
"Bennie, please hear me before yon
speak," be said, more humbly than he
bad ever spoken to mortal before. And,
hearing, Miss Fay signaled to her
brother, strode over, took UU arm and
marched him from the room.
Bennie stood silent, her eyes dropped,
her hands clasped listlessly before her
But eagerly the man went on:
“Bennie, ten weary years ago yon
asked my forgiveness. In my pride and
folly 1 refused it. Five years later you
besought me, still unchastened by sor
row, to stay my cruel judgment. Once
more, in my sinful blindness, 1 refused.
Now, in penitence and contrition, 1
come from lonely wandering to beseech
what 1 would not give. Bennie, for the
take of the old days, can you forgive
me?"
Those blue eyes, once saucy, proud
still, raise; 1 quietly from the floor met
bis eager, hungry gaze. The voice was
low and sweet, but it never trembled as
she answered:
“From my heart I forgive you!"
His aims were around her, the snow
dampened head pressed close to his
breast
“Bennie! darling!" he whispered, “1
know all. Dale told me your secret!”
“Dale told!"
Quickly she broke from the strong
arms; a scarlet flood dyed tlie face she
bent upon the ground.
"Dale told!" she repeated In trembling
tones. “How could he”
“Huah, darling!" he interrupted. “Do
not judge him until yon know all."
Taking Dale’s crumpled letter from
his breast he put it in her hands. And
Bennie, standing statue still, read it
slowly through, ftut, as she read, the
play of deep emotions flickered on her
face, then faded out, leaving no sign to
the eyes that watched so yearningly.
Then she folded the letter gently, ten
derly, and pufit in her bosom.
- “This letter must be mine," she said
quietly, but turning her face away.
“Dale s sacrifice for me 1 guessed be
fore, but some things in it I never
dreamed till now. What he has writ
ten of me must lie mine, until 1 can put
this letter into hia own hands again.”
Again, as she ceased, the crimson flood
•wept the pale face; but she met La-
to«rt> eyes bravely as she asked:
"Where is Dale now?”
“At the hotel very ill I have"
“1 must go to him, then,” she inter
rupted calmly, but very pale. “Take
me, please."
And again she raised her eyes and
looked fearlessly into those of the first
m»n (he had ever loved.
• •••••
When Bennie Mason softly followed
Latour into the sick room Capt
Richard Peerman was immeped in the
Y
eiograpay or James j*ace, taq., iu toe
current number of a then famous society
journal. He rose, removed his Lst, as
though that act were greatest cooces- !
siou. aud remarked:
“Excuse me, miss, but hanged if you
Htiw us prompt as Dick rVennan!”
then, with a voluminous glance at his
employer, he discreetly retired and
'■used the door.
Bennie stood by the bed and looked
down silently and long upon the sleeper.
Opposite stood the man who had loved
and wronged and, at last, understood
her.
Suddenly the sleeper moved restlessly
ami the ever recurrent words came very
gently tills time:
“Old, old friends, Bennie!"
Noiselessly and very tenderly the wo
man sank upon her knees, the bright
mosses of her hair shadowing the taco
lient over Dale's pale hand. But his
opening eyes first fill upon his friend's
face. Full memory liad come back new.
"Dear old boy!" he whispered feebly.
"Letter all right. Find Bennie"
Then he saw the form beside him.
Without surprise, without one start his
joy went out in one low whuqier:
"Bennie!"
The woman did not raise her head,
but her hand very gently put out the
lettter from her bosom.
“Take this back, dear Dale," siie said
softly. "Some of it is—true; some must
be forgotten."
Feebly stroking the bright hair he
answered:
"Yes, all sorrow must be forgotten,
now! Give me your baud, dear old
Adrien. You have found her!”
Lying there so feebly, the sick soldier
tried to join tlie hands of those two he
had loved so loyally, even as he whis
pered:
“When you are happiest, Bennie, re
member you said, we are old, old
friends!”
Very pale was the face the woman
then raised before both men. Very
gentle, but firmly clear, was the voice
that bore those words:
“We were old friends, dear Dale.
Now with the blessing of God, we will
be more than that, forever, ‘till death
do us part!’ ’’
THE END.
“Father,” asked a boy, “why
do they call this place the Ex
change?” “Because, my son,
