Mrs. Barnett, without protest, and when Louis came stealing into the room in awe and love his heart went out to the boy as to a brother. “Hello, younker!” he called. "You needn’t walk so soft voiced. I'm worm a dozen dead men yet.” The boy’s face shone. “I thought you were asleep. Can I do anything for you ?” Thereafter Raymond abandoned him- self to the joy of traveling back to life along such ways of wanton luxury as he had never known. He permitted himself to be waited upon, even by “.\"o; only come and sit down and talk to me. What have you been (10- ing since you came back to the like of Raymond and the life he rep- resented. Therefore she took care not to see him as he was borne into Bab nett’s house. “He is nothing to me, and I must decline to be troubled by him further.” she said as she was dressing to go out. Louis took a seat. “Nothing of any consequence, except to make some drawings of the ranch. It’s dull here. I want to go into the mountains.” “You’re a wonderful youngster. \Vait till I‘m able to travel, and we’ll go up into the high country together.” Louis clapped his hands. ”Won’t that be glorious?

Ann. listening intently. remained cold- ly impussiw of face. "Mrs. Scribbins was the really efficient person. I have a horror of sick people, and as for wounds"-â€" She shuddered for lack of words. Mrs. Barnett went on: “I like to do for him. he's so grateful and so obe dient. He says just the right thing al- ways. There must be good breeding back of the man. although he never mentions his family. There’s some love aflair to account for his being here. He's too handsome not to have had en- tanglements. Don‘t you thinli‘so?” "I don’t believe it. He couldn’t be commonplace. He said to me just now, Sometimes a man must hear the wash of the river of death to realize how fu- tile he has allowed his life to become.’ His gratitude toward you is pathetic.” Ann frowned. “It‘s worse; it’s op- pressive. I did so little. and that little was not done with a gracious Spirit. I didn’t enjoy it then nor in retrospect.” “You mustn’t let him know that. His worship of you positively irradiates his face, and he’s very handsome. He in- sists that you were heroic." Ann grew a little petulant “I wish you wouldn’t try to make mountains out of molemlls. It was a most un- Pleasant experience. and I wish to for- Set it. not to have it dinned in my ears forever. My going was folly, and my stay in that ghastly place was a tor- ment. Please allow me to put it out of my memory.” “fie insisted not,“ replied Ann. “He begged me to consider that his life had been quite commonplace." Ann had a moment of bitter home- sicknem, a feel’ag she had never known before. This mad trip into the west with a redness and supersensltive boy grew each moment more disastrous. At the moment she fairly hated her cous- ins and all the guests at their table and longed, with unspeakable hunger, for the roll or carriages on Fifth avenue and the glitter and tumult of Broad- way. The may, uninterested stare of her mother was better than this pry. mg, this oversmmed interest on the partotJeannette.

The “Ali’s!” and “Dear me’s!” and “By J ove’s!” volleying from the listeners were quite insupportable. One lady said, "Poor fellow I” Raymond opened the volume with languid interest, but soon realized that he was looking into the past through the eyes of a poet. Part of it was writ- ten in ink very legibly, but in a fine running hand. while other of the pagex were hastily scribbled in pencil and not to be easily deciphered. Plainly the record had been made under great dis- advantages and in the field. The inks .were of various colors, some watery blue, some. (lustv black. “Not at all,” said Dr. Braide. “He was a lucky dog. I’d be shot any day to get such a. nurse.” Jeannette saw the angry flush on Ann‘s face and hastily turned the con- versation into less personal channels. Thus every influence swept her to- ward a dislike of the wounded man’s very name, and thereafter she ignored his presence in the house, his being in the world, as though he did not exist. She neither asked after his health nor replied to any report or question made by her brother concerning him. Louis brought to Raymond one day a small limp book in red leather, which he proffered with the air of giving a gem. “No; my father’s. He was out here before I was born, when the Indians were here.” “Y our ' diary '3” Louis opened the book at the front. wherein the picture of a slender, smil- ing. handsome young fellow in som- brero and hunting clothes had been pasted. “He enjoyed his new hat, didn’t he?” . said Raymond, to whom the essential incongruity of the refined face and bor- i der ruflian toggery first appealed. 1 “You‘re the image of your father?” he ' added, looking keenly at the boy. “He ' don’t look much older in this picture, i taken at Sylvanite. Well, Sylvanite was 1 a wild town in those days. Is there- much about it in the book '2” “Ten pages.

There was an ap- peal in the closing entry which touched him profoundly. The entry was head- ed “The Last View” and closed with these words: “I love my home and my friends in the east. but this primeval world has laid its spell upon me. I shall come again next year." “Did he come again?” asked Ray- mond. “No," answered Louis sadly. And it was soon evident to Raymond that the lad knew very little of his father beyond the message in the worn little “Leave this with me, Louis. I want to read it all,” he said. And the boy was glad of this interest “What’s odd HAMLIN GARLAND â€";ko.

She became morbid. I never could see that she had a particle of maternal aflection. If Ann isn’t like her it is because Phil’s blood is in her veins. Louis is exactly as Phil was, as I recall him when I saw him first.” “You say the father called her Hes- per?” pursued Raymond, acutely inter- ested in all that concerned Ann. “ You say the father called her Hesper ‘5’ ” “It was his pet name for her. Few people knew it. I don’t think Louis knows it, for Ann considered the name absurd as she grew older and never re- fers to it. I think it is a pretty name, don’t you ‘2” “Yes. It is beautiful.” His eyes took on a musing look. Hesper!

The boy ideal- ized him, made of him a wonderful be- ing, better worth serving than any monarch, and in this strain he talked to Ann till she impatiently begged him to stop. He longvd with a great longing to see her again. but to his curious shyness had been added the humility of one who feels himself unworthy to ask any favor. and the troubled 100k which But in her secret heart Ann admit- ted that she, too, had been touched by the indefinable charm of Ray- mond’s voice and manner, but the question of how best to check his growing power over her brother’s life had become a very serious problem, for as the days wore on he put her aside as completely as she ignored his hero. Together Raymond and the boy read the little red book, mapping the points described as best they couldâ€"a task of some difficulty, for the traveler had purposely given mythical names to the towns, rivers and peaks. It had all been a wonderland to Philip Rupert. and he took care to have no stupid or vulgar name mar the perfect effect. _ _ There was somet‘uing in all this which refined and softened the young rancher. Joined with his love fer “Hesper” (as he loved to call Ann in secret), this boyish father’s enthusi- asms transmuted every reckless, blt- ter impulse into stern resolutions to enter upon a new lifeâ€"a life with pur- pose and devotion in its course. CHAPTER VIII. T last there came a day when the doctor permitted his pa- tient to be clothed and seat- ed in an easy chair, and, calling Mrs. Barnett to him, Raymond asked, “Do you think Miss Rupert will see me now ‘2" “I will ask her," replied J eannette, with due appreciation or the romantic Ann tone to comply, with a little mm of unpleasant excitement. She did not .want to see him, and yet she could not decently refuse. At the door of the sitting room Mrs. Barnett stopped. and the girl walked m alone, her race set 111 lines or com disdain. Raymond sat in a big, padded chair, with his back to the Window and the sunlight streaming over his head. He .wore a handsome gray dressing gown, and the linen at his neck and wrists was spotlessly clean. His hands were refinedâ€"almost delicate in effectâ€"and his clean shaven face and his well brushed, abundant brown hair gave evidence of a most careful toilet. Something mystically solemn and sweet was in his eyes, and his lips trembled as be greeted her. “This is very good of you. Pardon me, won’t you? I am forbidden to stand.” “I beg you, do not think of it.” “Dare I ask you to be seated? I want to thank you more suitably than I have been able to do for what you did for me.” “Please .don’t, Mr. Raymond. I as- sure you I deserve no credit. I went out there under compulsion, and What I did was determined by pressure of circumstances. I’m not a bit of a hero- ine, and I do not like praise." He was chilled by her tone and for a moment hesitated. ‘fA sick man may be forgiven some things,” he began to say at last. “I may as well confess that I have been longing to see you. I have been trying for many days to rise and dress in order that I might have you come in. You must let me ask your forgiveness for the rude way in which I received you that day. All that I did seems incredible to me now, like the action of another man.” A gleam of amusement crossed Ann’s face. "I didn’t blame you. I’m Willing to admit that your position was try- ing.” He was too exalted of mood to re- spond to her quizzical tone. “I had lived for years quite apart from anyâ€" from association with cultivated peo- ple, and besides I had begun to feel that I was wasting my life and had be- come irritable. I went to the ranch to pay olI a debt, and I-well, I had fallen into a groove. You recalled me to bet- ter things.” "I and the bullet,” she said rather flippantly, for she was becoming appre- hensive of the trend of his confidences. He ignored her interruption, or, rath- er, he plowed across it with something like his old time resolution. “It is due to you to knowâ€"or at any rate I desire you to knowâ€"that I am not a fugitive from justice. Baker thought he was being funny.” “I am not so dull as you think, Mr. Raymond. I understood him perfect- 1y.» “I am glad you did. It is true I am estranged from my family, but it is not dueâ€" My faults have never been crim- inal.” “Please do not feel it necessary to explain,” interrupted Ann. “It is pain- ful to you, andâ€"and it is wholly unnee- essary. I beg you to desist. I hope you will understand that I am In no sense doubting you.” A shadow of pain crossed his face. Somehow the reality of their meeting .was not as he had imagined it.
