” —, i-1 i,. A YELrLf0W d—ffi- ~ BY @ IOTA. CHAPTER XIV. If ever a girl’s coming-out was a triumphal progress, Gwen’s was. There was just the same suggest! >n of stifled groans, and hidden r.ounds, and silent blood streams in it, as there is in the processions of all conquerors, and just the same cool indifference to this part of the show distinguished the girl’s face and added curiously to its charm. As she swept calmly on her way her victims fell to right and to left of her without a groan or a murmur, noisy ap peal seemed quite out of the question in the presence of this magnificent, inscrutable crea ture. In her grand, scornful way she revelled in the glory of her march, and wore her laurels as if she had been used to them since her long clothes’ days— this sort of thing just suited her, it was so thoroughly just, so fair, her mere due, and no more, and she felt neither elation nor any special gratitude in accpt- ing it all. For a whole year—first in the country, then in London—this went on, and Gwen never felt so unconsciously Christian-like in her life; she had no cause to rail agr.inst anything; she had no time to feel empty about the heart. Besides, her heart was filled in a way with the steam from the victims sacrificed in her honor, and the intangibility oi the stuffing didn’t trouble her, it was warm and smelt like spikenard. As for the feelings of the vic tims, these did not enter into her calculations, the whole show was so absolutely impersonal to her. For any pangs she might feel for the aloofness of the two she cabed father and mother, she had decided some time ago to smother these and to cast them out, harboring and encour aging them never having alter ed or influenced the state of af fairs by one finger’s breadth. She saw little of Mr. and Mrs. Fellowes in these days. The scripture lessons had come to an end and she had turned the whole subject into her mind’s rubbish hole; what she had learned was sufficiently inter esting at the time, but it had never come any farther than to the outer edge of her life, even when it was warmed and light ed by Mr. Fellowes’ love for his subject and when the hours spent at the Rectory were the only bright flecks iu the week’s dinginess. Now all these surroundings were withdrawn, the slight mist of glamour that used to hang round the subject had floated off, and Gwen was quite ready to shoot her stored up accumu lation of facts and deductions anywhere, to make room for mere serviceable stuff. Only, what we have learned, good or bad, we must keep somewhere, God help us! She was a clever girl, how ever, and well bred, and had read a good deal one way and the other, so she had the sense to hold her tongue and to keep her embryo opinions to herself. This made her equally magnan imous as regarded the opinions of her neigmiors. “Gwen’s attitude of mind makes me quite sick,” said Mrs. Fellowes one day, “that is, when she shows a glimpse of it, which isn’t often nowadays. She hasn’t had a volcanic out break for a century, they are ruinous to one’s clothes, but I’d bear the spoiling of my new front for one this minute.” Mr. Fellowes laughed. “There is a twist in her some how and we have come to a nasty obstruction. When she is properly straightened she’ll be a fine creature, but the un twisting will be too gradual for you, my poor Ruth, you’ll be worn out before it’s finished.” “One would think she was a boa constrictor, I believe she has a touch of its nature too; she crushes hearts enough any way, and with just as little compunction. I am sorry for young Patrick Hamilton, I love that boy.” “Which is no reason at all why Gwen should. The girl doesn’t flirt, and he sought his crushing with open eyes. I be lieve its the girl’s brains as much as her beauty thatvdomi- nates and reduces men’s hearts. ’ ’ “Very likely—the bigger fool a man is, the more he is vanquish ed by brain, especially if it keeps itself in the background and doesn’t frighten him. He likes the agreeable sensation of importance the possible pos session of such a power gives him, and in his state of nervous tension, the creature is apt to get mixed and to imagine that the power he worships ra diates somehow from him to bis idol instead of contrariwise.” “A very comprehensive sum mary of our modes of thought, my dear, racy but untrust worthy. I don’t, however, im agine that in Gwen’s case any man is quite ass enough to im agine himself the source of her intellectual strength.” “Oh, perhaps not, Gwen’a getting beyond me. If she goes on like this, between brains and bea -ty, she’ll be no better than a charnel house for crushed hearts. Pah!” “For the shadow of the things, not the substance—do you im agine the victims haven’t as firm a hold on their organs as ever they had? It’s only an idea they lose half the time.” “Weil, they make as much moan over it as if it were a very tangible flesh-and-blood article all bristling with nerves. I hate to look at Patrick’s face, I wish he would go and shoot buffaloes, or take a tonic, or do anything but drink tea in that chair and draw sympathy out of me with those soft cowey eyes of his! He had only just left when you came.” _“I should be glad for your digestion’s sake if he would re cover himself; you’ve swallow ed three cups of tea in ten min utes.” “Yes, to wash out the mem ory of that boy!” “Rather a roundabout way to f o to work; if you don’t look out at’s heart will be sound long before your digestive organs are.” “Never mind, they haven't a tinge of Americanism about them, they haven’t so much as caught the accent. But how can you keep on being so hope ful of Gwen? I am oownright miserable about her.” “I have the greatest trust in the girl, my feeling about her is like faith, it is inexplicable, but it’s so natural, so instinctive and ingrained one feels its truth.” “I suppose in the end she will marrv,” said Mrs. Fellowes, “it’s the natural end or begin ning of her.” “Then—well, it’s not a very original observation to make, but it’s the only one that comes to my mind—God help her!” “God help him more! Poor wretch, he’ll want it all!” CHAPTER XV. Humphrey Strange gave a sort of snort, made for the win dow, and threw it open. “Gru! This room is beastly, I’ll swear that window hasn’t been open for a month, the whole place is musty with mil dew. The beggar is drunk or the wire was delayed—I’ll have a fire anyway.” By the way he went about making it, it was easy to see the man knew his work. First he shoved his stick up the chim ney to see if it was free, then he looked around. “Plenty of kindling!” hemut tered, pouncing on a band-box in the corner with a battered old hat in it. Tolly’s, I’ll be bound, reeking with grease,—a direct interposition of Provi dence, this!” He crushed it up, crammed it into the grate, and arranged broken pieces of band-box above it with mathematical precision, then he rummaged a broken chair out of an inner room, smashed the rotten legs across his knees, and added them to the heap, which at the first touch of the match shot into flame. ““It will clean the brutal air,” he remasked, “and it is quite cold enough for a fire. I wish I had stayed where I was till June. Tolly’s bout might have been over by that time. Not so much as the smell of an oil lag here,” he continued re flecting “I must go out and for age.” Putting another chunk of chair on the fire and forcing a side window open with an ease that spoke well for his condition, he went out and returned short ly with a big Ifhobbly parcel in one hand, and a smooth brown paper one in the other. From the first he produced a huge wedge of steak, some cut slices of ham, and a loaf of bread, the brown one held a bot tle of beer. When the fire had burnt down to a hot bed of cinders, Strange put the tongs across it, the pok er and a piece of*th!ck wire he had poked out of a cupboard across these, then balanced the steak on the top of this grid ion, and watched it fizzling and sputtering with a gratified air of expectancy. “I left a gridiron, a saucepan, and a kettle in the bottom of that cupboard,” he mused, keep ing a keep e/e on the grill, “all in decent condition- Tolly again! IT1 put the fear of God in the fellow’s heart before to morrow’s out, ‘That must be to morrow, not to-night.’ A sell for me, my boy, if not for you, I feel just up to it now, bv to morrow the desire may nave lost its savor. I must find some thing to put this steak on and to hold the beer. Mot a sign of my pewter! Phew, one cracked glass! Lord! there were dozens! and one hot-water plate with half the delft off it, I could swear I left that shelf fall of crockery! and after this a Christ ian man is expected to do no murder!” When he bad got half through the slab of steak a strong thirst came on Strange. “There is a corkscrew in one of my inner pockets,” he reflect ed, looking lazily round, “never mind, this is shorter!” He stretched out his arm for the poker, and with it, knocked the top of the bottle clean off and drank his beer with whole some satisfaction. When he had eaten and drunk enough, he pushed back his E late and glass, and took a undle of quills and some MS. paper out of a small cabinet. ningly Tolly has found no use for these,” he thought, as he sharpened a quill. He then produced a bundle of smudgy notes from an inner pocket and laid them by the paper. “I’ll have a thorough good smoke,” he said, stretching his legs, “and then I’ll be game for six hours’ work. I swear,” he continued, rubbing his hideous, inch long, bristly, reddish beard, “I’ll not touch an individual bristle of this mat till Lynton has got his first consignment of ‘copy,’ then I shall clean up and resume civilization.” Strange was a good many things but he was above all oth ers a traveler, he had neither nerves nor stomach, which is proof sufficient that he had been E reordained to the role, an 1 he ad discovered his election very early in life. At the opening of one of his Eton vacations, when to look at he was a mere chit of a child with a pair of gray eyes that were staggering from the sheer artlessness of them, he had dodged the parental eye at Wa terloo, and instead of going down into Plowsbire, he had taken ship at Rotherhite, and had reached Amsterdam by the skin of his teeth, the tub being untrustworthy and mearly foundering in mid-channel. When he came back, more artless than ever to look at, he knew as much of the life of the Hollanders of all classes and of every side of the life, moreover, as if he had dwelt among them for a round five years. On his return to school he pro ceeded to record his experiences in the school organ, and on their appearance in that chaste jour nal, he was up before his house master. “Where did you hear all this, Strange?” demanded the scan dalized gentleman. “I saw it, sir, ani it’s quite true” was the artless reply. “The deuce it is!” muttered Dr. Bromby. “That hardly bet ters matters. I have ordered every copy of this paper to be burnt, Strange,” said the doc tor severely, “and in the future, I wish to look through your manuscript myself before it goes to the press. Unalloyed truth is sometimes out of place. Stick to your classics, Strange, you will write well some day, that is, if you become a little surer in your Latin, otherwise your English will always be sloven ly. If I were you I should re serve some of my experiences, if you are in the habit of enter taining your fags with them in off-times,” concluded the doc tor. “Yes, sir,” said Humphrey, and departed cheerily. Strange had just now come back unexpectedly from a long tour in Algeria. According to his own way of thinking he had had a glorious time if ever man had. He had lived in the tents of the Arabs, in the camps of the ooast Zouaves, and in the hills and the deserts with the Bedouins, like David. Ha had known Of the plunge in a pool’s living water, the hunt of the bear. And the sultriness showing the lion 1* couched in his lair. And the meal, the rich dates yel lowed over with gold-dust di vine. And the locust flesh steeped in the pitcher, the full draught of wine." He had braved heat, cold^ hunger, thirst, filth and squalor, fleas and worse than fleas, snakes and beasts of prey, but he had learned a new variety of man and of the conditions that mould men’s lives. He had lived the life himself and could think as such men think, feel as they feel, speak and act as they do. He bad gained a new power and felt a new growth of manhood quick ening in his veins, and now he was recording what he knew. Many travelers only tee, he knew. He had touched the core of the heart of things, and every word he wrote carried convic tion to those who read and mar veled at the wonderful knack the fellow had of telling primi tive truths cleanlv. Strange kept nis word and worked without break for six hours on end, then he tumbled off his seat with sudden sleep, having just sense enough to first roll himself in his ulster. When Tolly arrived next morn ing at eleven o’clock, the delay ed wire in bis hand and his hair erect with terror, he found his master snoring in a strong breeze, with the full sun on him, and at least a pound of dried grease all over the fender. Tolly groaned. CHAPTER XVI. Tolly proceeded to in a vague sort of a scurry to clear up. But in the general confusion of con science and in his gin-begotten shakiness, he presently drop ped the poker with a clatter, aud Strange awoke and sat bolt upright in his ulster. “Well, Tolly, how do you feel?” He demanded blandly, regarding the forlorn, dirty fig ure with a persistent and con templative stare that caused it to wriggle and writhe like a worm. Tolly was a long, thin, crook ed person, whether young or old it was impossible to tell un less you happened to have seen his baptismal register. His mother herself was rath er at sea on the question. “He has always looked that from a baby,” she remarked to the school inspector when he called to round up the urchin, who from his lanky length certainly looked quite meet for Primers. “I don’t believe msyelf he’s that he may be, there ain’t no tellin’, he’s that queer one can’t never say nothin’ certain re gardin’ him.” “If I remember aright,” con tinued Strange, “You took the pledge the night before I left, you cried too—let alone roared— with remorse.” “Yes, sir, I don’t deny noth in’.” "I’d like to catch you at it! Well, how long did you keep the pledge?,” “I believe it were a matter of three weeks, sir. then I cotched cold.” “O, indeed! And the gin cotohed you? Now clear up that place. I shall cook break fast myself. When you have put things ship shape from my point of view, not yours, recol lect, I shall give you six pence, then you can go around to the baths and scrub yourself from head to-oot. Your things —except the bat, I burn that, you appear to have stored drip ping in it—are in the box I gave you, put them on and then wait here for me. That gridiron, those tumblers, those cups and other things you have smashed or pawned, you will buy out of your next three weeks’ wages— Farris’s gin-hole has all of your savings, no doubt. And tonight I ahali give you a dose of cas tor oil mixed with senna.” “O Lord help me!” groaned Tolly, and he shuffled nearer his master—he had experienced Strange’s treatment before this. “Now stop your groaning and do your work, neither I nor the Lord would touch you with a pair of tongs in your present condition! You have earned your punishmeut and of course you shall get it. If you lived decently you would have a first- rate place and you know it, and, look here, I have come to the end of my patience; if I find you in this state again, I shall sack you.” Tolly gave an auguished squeal. “Oh, I’ll try, sir, I does try, I swear to God I does. I tries till I sweats like a bullock and doesn’t know if I’m on my head or my heels, but sommow hit ain’t no go. Don’t sack me, for the love of God, don’t, sir.” “Finish your sweeping, and go over that place under the table again. I shall see how you get along after the bath and, the castor oil.” “Poor beggar,” said Strange to himself) as he ate his ham and drank his sweetened tea. I wonder if I shall ever make anything out of him! Only that the cteature is so weakly— look at the miserable hold of his claws on that dust-pan!—I should take him about with me, the Arabs would teach him so briety anyway and he might pose as an apostle of Christian ity among them.” At this thought Strange chuckled aloud, and helped himself to another slice of ham. Tolly’s face brightened as he heard the sound, he turned fur tively to watch his earthly Providence, and went on with his dnsting with redoubled fu ry. “Now,” said Strange, when he had finished, “carry all these things into the next room and have a good feed. When did you happen to have your last meal?" On the point of truth Strange was inexorible; the fellow dared not lie; but he had a sort of bastard pride about him and felt the question keenly. Turn ing a sickly puce, he stammer ed “I haven’t had nothing yes terday, sir, sommow I didn’t feel like it.” “No? Well, if I were you I would cultivate the feeling now Send in the barber on your way to the bath, and hand down that ink bottle from the shelf before you go. Pah! You can’t even fill an ink bottle, your hand shakes so! Upon my word if I have to sac* you I don’t know what in the world you’ll do, j'ou arn’t worth four- pence a week in this condition.” Tolly gave a dumb shudder and his fang kept time to it. Five years before. Strange had picked him up out of a sewsr, where he went to learn the trade of ratting. Strange liked to learn the ins and outs of anything that had any sug gestion of human interest in it. He had brought the half-dead, mouldy creature to his rooms, and after saving his life, it struck him to keep it, and see what could be done with it. This was the result. As long as Strange was at home Tolly kept straight, but directly he was out of reach, the miserable absorbing craving took hold of the wretch, and pinched, and pulled, and nip ped, as with raging hot irons, at the very soul of him, till at last he swallowed his humanity at a gulp, gave way to the beast, and fled to the gin-shop. For three weeks he had en dured the torture this last time, Strange thought with grim pi ty, as he watched him, through the heavy Eastern curtains, de vouring his food to the dropping of tears. “Poor beggar! I shall never be able to get rid of him as long as life holds whatever morsel of soul he may have in him. Meanwhile, I cannot stand that solitary lang; when he has got over his brew I shall get him a set of teeth.” He lay back and laughed. ‘They’ll be the ruin of his im mortal soul, those teeth, fancy the grin of the fellow when his lips have a resisting surface to stretch across! Brown will charge frightfully for filling such a cavern.” He laughed again and turned to his work, and in two hours he had the first bach of “copy” ready for the printer. Then he yawned and stretched, and apologized to the barber, whom he had kept waiting an hour and ten minutes. When he was shaved, he dressed, and set forth to resume civilization.
