It was in the occasional hrief respite from toil in the evening hour. just he- fore bedtime, that her unrest became feverish, maddening: and one night it governed her to the point of driving her to seek at least a moment’s diver- sion from her unbearable heart hunger in an unprecedented act. On her re- turn from the spring house, where she had gone to finish her last bit of the day’s drudgery. she deliberately sat down with the two young ladies on the porch steps. Miss Ellery had become an object of engrossing interest to Eunice since Dr. Kinross had told her that he "loved Georgiana." Georgiana herself had in the past few days observed the scru- tiny she underwent whenever she was In Eunice‘s presence. The girl seem. ed to watch every movement she made. to hang upon every word she uttered. In a vvay which secretly gratified Geor- giana’s love of ascendency. M- . ‘ “What’s the matter, Eunice?" asked Daisy in surprise and curiosity as Eu- nice joined them, for the farm girl had seemed during all their stay at the farm to shrink from any inter- course wlth them. “Have you and Abe had a scrap?" “A scrap of what?” Daisy squealed. “You know, Eu- nice, the course of true love never runs smooth, so, to be sure, you and Abe must expect to have rows now and then. Is it in Shakespeare, Georgiana, or the Bible? But never mind, No doubt Eunice knows. i can’t account for your favoring us with your society, Eunice, unless you’ve been fighting with Abe and are wanting to be sym- pathized with. I’m sorry to say 1 can’t oblige you. I couldn’t possibly sympathize with a girl who would or could take an interest in Abe, a brute who thinks a woman’s- a pack horse. on, that kind of a man!

[Cuâ€"nice, gazing fixedly at Georgiana, made no comment upon Daisy’s advice. “Would you object if I asked you a question?" she inquired tlmldly of Georgiana. “Certainly not,” Georgiana smiled kindly. “Ask me what you like, Eu- you are at home? vâ€" "â€"â€" “CD to now,” Georgiana answered, “I have spent all my life in school and college.

Mean- time I’m going to sit in the market. Euniceâ€"the matrimonial market. of course. I’m down to the highest bid- der.” “Daisy," Georgiana pleaded with her, “if contact with me has given you no higher ideal than that”- “Oh, it's easy for you to talk. Geor- gie!” Daisy retorted plaintlvely. “Your market is made." “What do you mean. Daisy?" “You’re as good as engaged already to Dr. Kinross.” ' Eunice had a sensation as though the earth were suddenly floating out from under her. What did it mean. Daisy speaking of “Dr. Kinross?” Was his disguise a pretense and did these girls know him otherwise than as Pete? What was this which Daisy had said, “You are as good as engaged to Dr. Kinross!” And he had told her that he “loved Georgiana." Eunice felt herself floating amid clouds of illusion. Georgiana laughed and looked rather pleased. “I’m afraid your assumptions are quite gratuitous. my dear.” "Well. at least there Isn‘t the least doubt as to what his feelings will be." Daisy predicted. “You'll do him brown! He won’t be able to help himself no matter how much he’d like to be a misogynist or whatever you call ’em.” “1’13; not so sure.” Georgiana protest- od. but she laid her band affectionate ly on Daisy’s arm. “But you may be sure.’ Eunice spoke with a half gasp and almost without volition. “He does love yf’ou “What?" Daisy turned upon her. “Yes. Dr. Kinross does love her.” Ennice’s voice sounded hollow to her self. She was dazed. There was a dull dead weight upon her heart. an unde- fined but keen sense of loss and pain Dr. Kinross and Georgiana were “as good as engaged." There was a sob in her throat that :xched lntolerably. She felt an lmpom five need to get away by herself. She snfldenlv sprang no. and before i‘w other two girls could collect them- selves she was gone. r1 “fie say; bye loves you." she repeated mechanically. ii‘orâ€" tinâ€"instant surprise held both of ' them silent. “She’s a little bit oi! the top!" de- clared Daisy. “What could she have meant?” won- dared Georgiana. “I can’t get aboard!" said Daisy. “1 don’t think she knew herself. I always . did think that girl acted as if she had . wheels!” ‘ “11' Pete were still here I would ask him what he knows about her. She is singular." Georgiana agreed. “But what could she have meant?” “She never saw Kinross, and Kin- ross never saw you. She was talking through her hat." “Of course," Georgiana again agreed reluctantly. It would be so much more interesting if Daisy’s conclusion was not so inevitableâ€"it Eunice had not been “talking through her hat.” Meantime Eunice. alone in the “haunted” chamber, seated on the side ' of the bed and staring with unseeing eyes into the darkness of the room, graped in a greater darkness of soul as she tried in her blind ignorance of life to understand her own great desola- “wax-glam) regurdrd her with a puz- ':1 surmise.

'1‘ 5 o’clock in the afternoon two days Inter Kinroes was once more with the assembled Morningstnrs in the farm kitchen, the entire family. including Eunice, being present at the important interview he was having with tin-m pervading presence from the farm had made the family seem to Kinrnss on his return quite shrunken and sum" He had wondered how. after hi: few days’ absence and his fresh cozzv tact with the world. Eunice would :13»- pear to him from the point of view .:r 1 his own and her aunt's world. and it‘ seemed to him now as he looked at her I sitting opposite him at the kitchen} table that she was even more detached i from her environment than he had :vt first thought her and far more N": to his own and her aunt’s sphere of life than that of the farmâ€"to which. indeed. she seemed entirely alien. He fancied today that the hzihitunl melancholy of her eyes was intensified. But surely the great news llt’ had for her would quickly dissipate it and the. original “pale drnl)" of her existence. change to rosy hues-perhaps. alas. to lurid onesâ€"â€"for in his heart he felt not a little misgiving as to the possibly baneful efl‘ect of her seeming good fortune. Before returning he had sent 3 mes- sage ahead of him to Mr. Mnrningstar. warning him to be ready against his arrival to pay over to Eunice imme- diately the sum of $3.000 or be pre- pared to accept the consequences. The eflect of this communication had been to lead the Morniugstars to urge upon Eunice once more ihe suit of Abe. but neither their persuasions nor their anger had succeeded in moving On his arrival he had of course in? sisted upon seeing Eunlce alone. But he had met wlth such violent opposl- tion to this from both Mr. and Mrs. Morningstar that even the girl herself drew hack, unwilling to brave the storm that would follow her open deâ€" fiance. He saw that part. at least, of what he had to tell her of her afla‘lra would have to be told in the presence of the family. Surely the news would make her able to throw of! the last vestige of her yoke. So._flrst. he had forced Morningstar. under the lash of his threats. to sign. in a cold perspiration of horror. the draft for $3.000 (which in tact repre- sented at least a fourth of his posses- sions) and pass it over to the bewilder- ed Eunice. “Now, Mr. Morningstar.” he began when this transaction had been com- pleted. leaving the farmer utterly shaken out of his orbit, “I have a piece of news {or you and your wife and for Eunice.” Eunice’s face was pale, and her eyes. intent upon his face. were bum- ing bright. He wished that he had the power to read all her thoughts, unique young creature that she was. It was distasteful, even painful. to have to break his news in her in the presence of these people. who. indeed. seemed her natural enemies. but it was appar- ently unavoidable. “What’s your news?” Mrs. Morning- star curtly demanded. her curiosity getting the better of her rage against him, and her husband. too, bitter as was' his chagrin. looked up keenly. suspicious of further calamity. “Och, my souls!" breathed onto. “ForevermoreP’ “Kin you prove it?" (1er hit. “When I spent the night In the haunted room I made some discover- Ies. I found out. as you know. about the $4.000 belonging to Eunice. I found out also some other things.” He paused an Instant. They all wait- ed bneatblessly. then. along with ’em?" cried urs. Morningstar. “They had stolen her from her home.” “Well, i never!" exclaimed Mrs. this and other details alone, but as you made that impossible I'll give you the bare facts now. after which.” he added in a tone of authority. “Eunice will come with me to hear in private what concerns no one but herself.” The Morningstars stared resentfully. but no one answered. “Her father," Kinross went on, ”was W. W. Wolcott of New- York. He was a man of large means. Eunice was his only child. Her aunt. Miss Wol- :cott of Washington, who believed her I to be dead, has meantime had posses. sion of the fortune rightfully belonging to Eunice. She is ready now to make restitution.” Momingstar sullenly. “What did they do with havyn' "“i'fie man and woman who left Eu- dce here were not her parents.” I \vu‘r-‘wâ€" “Kin you prove it?” Abe here re- peated his father's demand. - - a; -..4.o -_g,.,‘ [7‘ Nuts,“ ”I -wâ€"vâ€"vâ€" - _ “How did you find it out?" uked Morningstar. “Haunted rooms reveal oecrets,” Kin- ross answered. with a solemnlty that made the family shudder to a mu. “How much is comin’ to her?” inquir- ed Abe covetously. “A very great fortune."
