CHAPTER 111
At THK FOUNT AIN
The mill stream was a slender hroolt.
tumbling down a wild Borge from Its
fointnin h few hnnilmt j-anl« awav
Rosalie had worn a slender path from
the mill up to the stream’s source, a lone
ly spot, darkly shaded, where the water
rose with a mellow gush from a deep
fissure in u rock. Some smooth barked
maples grew in a clump on one side of
the spring, on the other side two luxu
riant liquid amber trees rustled their
tenderly rich foliage.
A vast escarpment of rosk, dripping
with moiyure and tapestried with green
muss and' variegated lichens, towered
aisive the tree tops like the wall of some
ruined fortress of Titian days.
Rosalie would bring her books np here
and would rest so still in the deep shade
that even the most timid creature in the
wood did not suspect her.
This cool twilight place by the foun
tain became her study during the long
Georgian summers, and she seemed to
take into her physique, and into her
mental natnre as well, the freshness of
tile atmosphere and tile riant health of
the vegetation.
In the course Of the week following
the arrival of Aunt Marguerite’s letter,
there was so much to do at the mill that
Rosalie had little time for outdoor ram
bles or study This letter had produced
a great effect It was like a waft from
magic land The changes that it wrought
about and within the mill were wonder
ful Everything was, by one means or
another, brightened, mid put into order,
with especial reference to the accommo
dating of Marguerite Chenier Roosevelt,
whose name daily grew more fasc inating
to the fancy of Rosalie in picturing
this great visitor, the young girl s mind
outlined a stately dame, such as those in
t!ie romances she had rea l, dressed in
silks and lace and stiff limeades, carry
ing herself grandly and haughtily, with
a pale patrician face and cold gray eyes
This fancy weighed upon her, it came
into her dreams at ni dit; it followed her
through tier routine of daily work.
•Hwlir he sold, “apm/c low there
ditntjcr ”
At last it was witn a sense of infinite
relief that she found herself free to go
up to her Imwer at the fountain She
took with her a volume of Chateau
brinnd. hut she found reading irksome
and tasteless Her mind rebelled The
cooing of the turtledove in one of the
sweet gum trees fell upon her sense of
hearing as if from a vast distance. The
bubbling of the spring, as it cast its
limpid stream over the smooth stones,
bad in it an indefinable plaintiveness
very acceptable to her mood. She was
not in the least unhappy (juite the re
verse Hnt she felt the stirring of new
and strange fancies She breathed fol
the first time the air of the great outside
world, a gust of which had come ovei
the mountains with her aunt's letter
During the last two or three days she
had heard much said about the stately
Roosevelt mansion and its costly furni
tnre. Its curious articles of virtu and all
the semitropical strangeness and luxnri
ance of the trees mid plants in wbicb it
was etAlxflkercd. She had never seen a
city, nor a mansion, nor costly furni
tnre She never before had especially
cared to see any of these tilings, but now
the leaven of ambition was beginning,
no matter how subtly and oliscurely, to
work itself into the tissue of her natnre
She sat there, gazing at her o|ien book,
but not reading, deep in the mystery ol
her new fancies, when suddenly Frank
Ellis stood la-fore her. She started and
uttered a sharp note of alarm
•How you scared me. sirl* she ex
claimed
‘Hush!’' he said ‘speak low; there is
danger r
She grew quite pale, and glanced fur
lively around
•VVTiaf is itr she mnrmured, her lips
quivering and her eyes growing strangely
liquid and brilliant.
•A government dog on my track," he
hissed, "anil 1 am miming from him to
avoid killing him "
‘A dog?" she inquired
•‘Yes. a alenthhonml, a man banter, a
government detective."
"Oh a Yankee?'
‘Yes. a miserable revenue sneak.”
•Rut what—why does he follow you?"
the demanded
'’Speak lower," he said, sitting down
D|>o:i a stone near her and laying hi* rifle
aeross h’s Knees He looked flushed and
excited
His li|>s shut themselves together with
a quiet, writhing motion, and there was
ad.-mgerous light in his eyes He reached
back a hand ami loosed the heavy pistols
in his belt, as if to have them ready at a
second's notice. ‘1 have led him a long
chase and a futile one." he added: “tanoh
good may it do him!”
Rosalie did not mideretand nil this
She had a vague impression that it
meant something connected with that
terrib'e war of which she had heard so
inncli and in which her father had been
so horribly maimed.
"1 don't want to kill him. but if l can’t
get rid of him"
"Oh, Mr. Ellis, don't kill any oner
she half whispered, spreading ont one of
her slender white hands toward him
deprecntingly.
He looked intently at her, and as he
did so a curious change crept over bis
bold, swarthy, handsome face. It was
as if a surprising revelation bad sudden
ly flashed into bis mind—a revelation
which thrilled through him Ilk* some
Mi* and charming strain of mtnl* Big
poise seemed to quicken, and the silence
grew intense before be again spoke.

Rosalie did not nuderstand She did
: not know Ellis business As for him
1 she bad known him as an occasional vis
itor of her father's for several years She
had always heard him spoken of as
Frank Ellis, and as a young man or ex-
. cellent- family and character, but still
there seemed to be a reserve of secrecy
i about his goings ami comings and an
air of watchfulness and restlessness ever
present with him. which had not failed
to impress her with some shadowy no
tion of the life lie was leading Now as
she looked at him sitting there, alert,
half exjHa'tunt, resolute, a feeling of
mingled admiration and awe crept over
( her No doubt there is to a young, in
noceut girl something unmistakably fas
cinating in a dark,.strong semioutlaw
armed to the teeth and ready for danger
ons adventure. The love of romance
| is one of the fundamental elements of
woman's nature
Frank Ellis was quick ia seeing the in
fluence tic was just then exerting, and
his shadowy impressions of Rosalie Che
uie.-s beauty and purity Wiew themselves
togelher all at once, blending into the
first state of love
'I must go back,” said Rosalie rising
end adjusting with trembling Angers,
her straw hat. She glanced down the
little path and hesitated.
‘I will go with you till the mill comes
in sight.” said Ellis, getting up and rest
ing his gun in the hollow of his left arm.
His manner was grace itself, and yet
there was in it that i>ecnliar reserve and
conrtlintss which in antebellum days
distinguished the southern man from the
northern one at all cur great social een
ters.
‘1 believe I am a little afraid to go
alone,” she said, with a sweet, faltering
smile; "you startled me so I never was
so scared."
He immediately stepped ahead of her
and led the way down the zigzag path,
turning now and then to offer her assist
ance when stones or logs came in the
way
Siie could not help noting how tall and
lithe and well proportioned he was, and
with what a self confident air he bore
himself No doubt the heavy pistols in
his lielt anil the ivory hilled bowieknife
and the gnu added much to the effect of
j bis Hp|>eanmce The war had left a few
1 such men as he scattered through the
mountains. They became chiefs, so to
speak—leaders of the mountaineers in
ail their enterprises lawful or other
wise
When the mill was in sight Ellis
stepped to one side to let Rosalie pass
As she was going he said
'Miss Chenier, I may not see yon
again soon, |»ossibly never.” His voice
was tender and rich with suppressed
j emotion 'If these Yankees destroy my
J business over here I shall have to go
I away.”
Her dear, deep eyes met his with
- childlike frankness, lint there was a hot
j flush m her cheeks She did not know
: why her heart jumped so She felt a
great pity for him it would la* tiSi bad

Ellis smiled and held ont his hand
May I be cheerful for your sake?" lie de
manded in a tone of voice never heard
in the north, a tone of gentle persuasive
ness mingled with infinite deference,
which nevertheless bad in it an artificial
ity not wholly pleasing
'Yes." she replied, quite promptly,
taking his hand "Won't you go down
to the mill ?'
He held her hand and gazed inquir
ingly at her She was entirely at her
ease, und met his look so frankly that lie
i actually laughed "No. 1 cannot go any
I farther." he said. "Goodby: don't ever
! forget me. Miss Chenier."
He stooped and kissed her hand, then
j turned and walked away, soon losing
i himself in the langles of the wood.
Rosalie went dowirto the mill with a
strange feeling, as of some indefinite
loss or some sweet imponderable gain
jiervading her consciousness She weut
about all the rest of the day bumming a
simple tune, half aware that she was
hovering oil the threshold uf a great and

Rosalie loved a little French song
taught tier by her father when she was a
child, r. mere jingling ditty with a sim
plu air, such as often takes hold of one's
memory and haunts it for days its
short, crisp words and tripping rhythm
suited well the banjo accompaniment
which she bad arranged for it.
She was sitting on the old bench un
der the mulberry tree singing this song
when the carriage which brought Mar
guerite Chenier Roosevelt to the mill
came in sight, a little way down the
‘pocket" road.

slender and childlike soprano voice, the
chords of the banjo blending well with
it The mill gate was down, but the
water had not ltd filled the raceway and
only a trickling sound came from the
mossy forebay Colonel Chenier, as it
chanced, was Hot in his accustomed seat
nuder the mulberry tree, and Mrs
Chenier anil Adelaide were in the mill.
When the carriage, a rather seedy cab
from the neighboring railroad village,
stopped. Rosalie caught her breath ex
citedly. quitting abort in the midst of
her song
A little sharpfaced. black eyed old lady
got briskly out through the door of the
vehicle and looked about her inquiring
ly. Tlie cabman deposited a heavy trunk
and two large traveling tiags on the
ground near by Rosalie stood gazing as
one scaroelv able to credit her vision.

Colonel Chenier came hobbling np aad

"Dear sister," he cried, gathering the
newcomer into his strong arms and kise-
ing her withered cheek again and again.
Rosalie was disenchanted This was
not the cold, stately dame of which she
had been drenming
Mrs. Chenier and Adelaide came forth
from the mill and the guest was given a
warm welcome.
When Rosalie was presented the old
lady ran her sharp black eyes over tbs
girl’s lissome form, from head to foot.
“Yon are very pretty my dear.” she
said, in a soft, quavering tone, taking
both of Rosalie's hands between her
own 'Yon are the prettiest Chenier I
ever saw."
Rosalie smiled radiantly She was too
unsophisticated to donbt her aunt's sin
cerity
"So she is." exclaimed Colonel Chenier;
•my little girl is a real lieanty."
"Little girl," said Aunt Marguerite,
emphasizing the second word; 'Tittle
girl, indeed! She’s a yonng lady She
ought to wear her dresses longer Come
my dear." taking Rosalie's arm, "show
me to my room, please; I am very tired.'
Aunt Marguerite was immediately
taken up into the cozy but scantily fur
nished room prepared for her The cab
man f dlowed with her baggage. She
sank into a chair by the window, whence
she could have a fine view of the valley,
the foothills ami the deeply notched
chains of bine mountains, lying one be
yoml another in almost parallel lines
She leaned back and tipped her vinai
grette against tier nose, half closing her
eyes as she slowly inhaled the sharp con
tents.
"Yon don’t look at all like yonr father
or your mother, my dear," she said to
Rosalie. "1 wonder where yon got those
eyes."
"Papa calls them ‘feu de la Vendee.
responded Rosalie; "aud sometimes
when I get a little excited he cries out
Flumraea dn Midi!' or ‘Eclair de la Pro
vence!' ”
"Dut yonr hair is not sonthern hair. It
is fine northern gold." The old lady, as
she spoke, reached forth a thin hand and
toyed with the girl's long, pale braids.
Her manner, her voice ami the touch ot
her fingers had in them that caressing
tenderness peculiar to the south. "You
must be a strange sheep in the Chenier
Hock," she continued.
‘But not a black sheep.” Rosalie
quickly responded, laughing lightly.
Aunt Marguerite smiled Her kindly
old heart warmed to the sweet girl
They at once became far more than
friends. The childless woman had fonnd
just what she had all her later years
been looking for. She felt as if she
must take Rosalie in her arms ami cover
her face with kisses What a sunbeam
to take to the Roosevelt mansion, she
thought What a ripple she would make
in Savannah social circles, this lovely
mountain niece!
Marguerite Chenier Roosevelt had for
many years nursed a desire to find some
beautiful girl to adopt as her own. Why
would not this gold haired Chenier, this
clear eyed, pink lipped, sweet voiced
maid of the mill serve her turn? A1
though this thought-arose in her mind
at once. Aunt Marguerite, being wise,
did not let fall even a hint of it for sev
eral days She studied Rosalie with
great care, ami fonnd some new grace,
some fresh element of loveliness or some
rare phase of innocence developing in
her nature every day
One thing, however, grated harshly
npon her sense of the fitness of things—
the banjo it was nuclassic. It be
longed to the negro Stie had never be
fore heard of a young lady who played
the banjo, or, if she had, the questiona
ble environments of the stage were con
nected with the thought, but the tone of
this instrument was so pure, and there
was something so insinuating in its
short, runic notes, that Aunt Marguerite
hesitated and finally was captivated. No
doubt the influence of Rosalie's personal
loveliness had the greatest part to do
with tliis conquest.
"It has something just a grain wicked
in it, I fear.” Aunt Marguerite would
say, s|R‘Hking of the banjo. "Something
I cannot tell what, of la sanvagerie du

nect itself with our gentility—our cul

To this fine old lady of the Tow conn-
try." life at the mill presented a thousand
savage as[kH-ts Its limitations seemed
so strange and narrow. Its Influences so
subtle ami irresistible, its social setting
so crude and valueless. But despite the
dull, dry and cramped situation. Annt
Marguerite discovered that a new
strength and elasticity were coming into
tier physique, and that her mind was
taking on a most unusual clearness and
serenity Was it in the water she was
drinking, the food, the air, the variegated
l'"vVi/-ape views, the matchless bine sky?
Was it in the bird songs that called her
from sleep in the cool sweet mornings?
Was it in the dreamy hum of water that
lulled her to sleep at night? No matter
what influence worked the change, she
telt something akin to second youth
stealing into her life. Ah. the childless
woman had found a sweet, sincere and
innocent nature npon whicli to exhaust
her love!

She mastered with quick glances the
minutest details of their construction

blending of colors, the graceful lines of
waist and skirt, the jaunty elegance of
this hat or the quiet charm of that lam-
net Her taste was not at fault. She
chose the simpler things. But she chose

•Vmi are rerq henuUlul. Mite Rosalie.’'
A Rant two weeks after the arrival of
Anut Marguerite at the mill a thing
came to pass which caused her to begin
fearing lest the seed of trouble had al
ready been sown in Rosalie's life. It
was a visit from that magnetic yonng
cavalier Frank Ellis, who. thinking he
had thoroughly outwitted the govern
ment detectives, bail once more begun
his riding into and out of the valley on
his mysterious business He brought
some pa|iers aud magazines for the mem
hers of the mill household, among them
u rerent numlier of The Revue de# Denx
Mon-les for Colonel Chenier, who, from
natural bent distaste for everything
American since tbe „ downfall of the
south, and from long habit, turned to-
| ward France for all his reading. A gay
| fashion periodical pleased Rosalie with
j its colored plates representing stylish
women and children at a northern aum-
raer retort. With all a yonng girl's cu
riosity touching them, she yet seemed
not to think of these lovely and ooatly
dresses^ bonnet* aad things la
catiugly. "I have but a few moments to
stay, can’t you let Miss Chenier show
me the rest of these pictures? I’m a
genuine child about looking at pictures
of any sort."
Aunt Marguerite
him
"Comeon. dear.” she-added; ami Rosa
lie obeyed
"Ooodby,” be said, holding out his
band, which the girl took.
"Goodby." she responded
As their eyes met ho said: “1, too,
should like to hear you read Won’t you
read some for me one of these days?"
"Oh, yes, sir, if you would care to lis
ten," she replied.
“Come on, child," persisted Aunt Mar
guerite.
The cavalier darted a quick, intense
look into the old lady's eyes, then lifting
bis ut and bowing very low, turned,
mounted his horse and rode away up the
valley
Aunt Marguerite was wise. She did
not venture a word to Rosalie about this
yonng man just then, much as she felt
like saying what she suspected. It was
too often the ease, she reflected, that a
young girl would develop a sudden and
mysterious perverseness when too direct
ly approaeheil in a mailer of this sort
She preferred to bide her time and com
pass her duty in the snrest way She be
gan gradually
"Is this yonng Mr. Ellis a very nice
young man?" she demanded of Rosalie
some time after he had gone The qnea
tion was put in the most careless way
and in a tone indicative of no special de
sire for an answer
'Ub. yes. very nice, indeed," respond
ed Rosalie, looking siraight into Annt
Marguerite's little eyes "He’s the best
young man I know He’s so brave too
He will fight any one."
Mrs. Roosevelt attacked her smelling
bottle in a way so vigorous that it made
Rosalie laugh The old lady was la-gin
ning to think that these up country folk
must set a high value on fighting. She
had heard much said on this subject
within the last few days
"What gixxl is there in fighting?” said
•he. “the war is over. It would be much
better if young men would think of no
bler things."
"Oh, they don't fight much," respond
ed Rosalie, "except when Yankee detect
ives come in here to interfere with their
business. Mr. Ellis told me he should
not want to hurt any one. 'if he could
have his rights without' ”
“What is his business, dear?" asked
Aunt Marguerite
“Why, I don't know," replied Rosalie;
T could ask papa, it's some sort of dan
gerous business though The Yankees
are trying to break him np; 1 know that
for he told me.”
“Where does he go when he rides past
here up the valley? There's no town up
that way, is there?"
“His business is np ti?“re somewhere
I don't think there's any town."
"He’s an ngly fellow."
“Ugly?"
“Yes, I don’t like his eyes, they are so
restless and soulless I think he's bad
Rosalie.”
The young girl gave her aunt a quick
searching glance, ttien her face grew
quite pale. Mrs. Roosevelt pretended
not to notice this, bnt she was studying
Rosalie's face and trying hard to divine
her thoughts. No doubt selfishness had
mncii to do with Annt Marguerite’s deep
interest in this mutter. She had once for
all set her heart npon taking Rosalie to
Savannah. Already the minutest details
of her plans were jierfected, though she
had never more than hinted them to the
household at the mill. Lately she hail
been telling Rosalie a great ileal abont
her mansion anil its surroundings, its
books, its furniture, its garden und its
tropical plants and trees She had de
scribed the fine shell roads, her carriage
anil horses.the beautiful suburban places.
