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were withdrawn, the slight mist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.
