There was sleet that evening, with a wboq£fng wind, but neither this storm nor that other which so Imminently threatened him held place in the con sciousness of Bibbs Sheridan when he came once more to the presence of Mary. All was right In his world as he sat with her, reading Maurice Mae terlinck's "Ailadlne and Palomldes." And while the zinc eater held out to bring him sucb golden nights si these, all the king*a horses and all the king's men might not serve to break the spell. Blbba read slowly, but in a reason able manner, a« if he were talking; and Mary, looking at him steadily from beneath her curved Angers, ap peared to discover no fault. It had grown to be her habit to look at him whenever there was an opportunity. It may be said, in truth, that while they were together, and It was light, she looked at blm all the time. When he came to the end Of "Aila dlne and Talomldea" they were silent a little while, considering togetber; then be turned back the pages and said: "There's something I want to read over. This: Too would think I threw a window open on the dawn. . . . She hae a soul that can be eeen around her—that takes you In Its arm* Ilk* an ailing child and without laying anything to you console* you for everything. . . , I *hall never un dentand It all I do not know how It can all be but my kneee bend In spit* of me wh«n I cpeak of It . . . He stopped and looked at her. "Ton boy!** said Mary, not very clearly. "Oh, yes," he returned. "But it's true—especially my knee*!" "Ton boy!" she murmured again, blushing charmingly. "Yon might read another line over. The Drat time I ever saw you. Bibbs, yon were look ing Into a mirror. Do it again. But yon needn't read It—l can give It to you; 'A little Greek slave that cam* from the heart of Arcady!*" "II I'm one of tbe bands at the Pump works—and going to stay one, unless I have to decide to study plumbing." "No." She shook ber head. "Ton love and want what's beautiful and delicate and serene; ifs really art that 7°9 J**®* to your life, and have always GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY, SEPIEMBER 21, 1916 wanted. You seemed to me. from the flrjlJ the most wistful person I had ever known, and that's what yon were wistful for." Bibbs looked donbtful and more wistful than ever; but after a moment or two the matter seemed to clarify Itself to him. "Why, no." Wanted something else more than that I wanted yon." . "And here I ami" she laughed, com pletely understanding. "I think we're like those two In "The Cloister and the Hearth." I'm Just the rough Bur gundlan crossbow man, Denys, who followed that gentle Gerard and told everybody that the devil was dead." "He Isn't, though," said Bibbs, as a hoarse little bell In the next room be gan a series of snapplngs which proved to be ten, upon count. "He gets Into the clock whenever I'm with you." And, sighing deeply, be rose to go. "You're always very prompt about leaving me." "There's one little time In the twenty four hours when I'm not happy. It's now,-when I have to say good night. But now's the bad time—and I must go through It, and so—good night." And he added with a pungent vehe mence of which he was little aware. "I hate It!" "Do you?" she said, rising to go to the door with him. But he stood mo tionless, gazing at her wonderlngly. "Mary! Your eyes are so—" He stopped. "Yes?" But she looked quickly away. "I don't know," he said. "I thought Just then—" "What did you think?" "I don't know—lt seemed to hie that there was something I ought to under stand—and didn't" She laughed and met his wondering gaze again frankly. "My eyes are pleased," she said. "I'm glad that you miss me a little after you go." "But tomorrow's coming faster than other days, If you'll let It," he said. She Inclined her head. "Yes. I'll— 'let It'!" "Going to church," said Bibbs. "It Is going to church when I go with you!" She went to the front door with him; she always went that far. They had formed a little code of leave-taking, by habit, neither of them ever speak ing of it; but It was always the same. She always stood in the doorway until he reached the sidewalk, and there he always turned and looked back, and she waved her hand to him. Then he went on, half-way to the new house, and looked back again, and Mary was not In the doorway, but the door was open and the light shone. It was as If she meant to tell him that she would never shut blm out; he could always see that friendly light of the open doorway—as If It were open for him to come back, If he would. He could see It until a wing of the new house came between, when he up the path. The open doorway seemed to him the beautiful symbol of her friendship—of ber thought of him; a symbol of her self end of her Ineffable kindness. And she kept the door open —even tonight, though the uleet and fine «now swept in upon her hare throat and arms, and her brown hair was strewn with tiny white utara. Hl* heart leaped as he turned and saw that she was there, waving her hand to him, as If he did not know that the storm touched her. When he had gone on, Mary did as she always did —she went Into an unlit room across the hall from that In which they had spent the eve ning, and, looking from the window, watched him until be was ont of sight. The storm made that difficult tonight, but she caught a glimpse of him under the street lamp that stood between the two houses, and saw that he turned to look back again. Then, and not before, she looked at the upper windows of Roscoe's house across the street. They were dark. Mary waited, but after a little while she closed the front door and returned to her window. A moment later two of the upper win dows of Roscoe's bouse flashed Into light and a hand lowered the shade of one of them. Mary felt the cold then —-It was the third night she had seen those windows lighted and that shade lowered. Just after Bibbs had gone. Bibbs stopped at his last look back at the open door, and, with a thin mantle of white already upon bis shoulders, made his way, gasping In the wind, to the'lee of the sheltering wing of the new bouse. A stricken Oeorge, muttering hoarse ly, admitted him, and Bibbs became aware of a paroxysm within the bouse. Terrible sounds came from the li brary: Sheridan cursing as never be fore; his wife sobbing, her voice rising to an agonized sqoeal of protest npon each of a series of muffled detonations —the outrageous thumping of a band aged hand upon wood; then Oumey, sharply Imperious, "Keep your band In that sllngl Keep your hand in that silng, I say!" "Look!" Oeorge gasped, delighted to play herald for so important a tragedy; and be renewed upon bis face the ghastly expression with wblcb be bad first beheld the rains bis calamitous gesture laid before the eyes of Bibb*. "Look at 'a lamldal statue!** -Gazing down the ball, Bibbs saw heroic wreckage, seemingly Byzantine —painted colossal fragments or a shat tered torso, appallingly human; and glided and silvered heaps of magnlfl cence strewn among ruinous palma like the spoil of a barbarians' battle. YEere had been a massacre In the oasts—the Moor bad been hurled from his pedestal. "He hit 'at ole lamldal statue," aald George. "PowP* "My father?" "Yessub! Pow! he hit *er! An' yon' ma ran tell me git doetuh quick 'a I kin telefoam—she sho' yon' ps goln' baa' a blood-vessel. He ain't takln' on 'tall now. He ain't nothln' 'tall to what he was 'while ago. You done miss* It, Mist* Bibbs. Doetuh got him all quiet' down, to what he was. Powl he hit 'erl Yeesuhl" He took Bibbs' coat and proffered a crumpled tele graph form. "Here what come," be said. "I pick 'er np when he done stompln' on 'er. Yon resd 'er, Mist' Bibbs—yon' ma tell me tnhn 'er ovuh to yon soon'a yon come In." Blbba read the telegram qnlckly. It was from New York and addressed to Mrs. Sheridan. Sure you will all approve step have taken as was so wretched my health would probably suffered severely Robert and I were married this afternoon thoucht beet have quiet weddlns abso lutely sure you will understand wisdom of step when you know Robert better am happiest woman In world are leaving for Florida will wire address when settled will remain till spring love to all father will like him too when he knows him like I do he Is Just ideal. EDITH LAMHORN. CHAPTER XXVI. Bibbs, convinced that the mere glimpse of him. Just then, would prove nothing less than Insufferable for hia \ ' TWa***» "There's Our Little Sunshlnsl" He Crisd. father, was about to mske his escape Into the gold-and-brocade room when be heard Sheridan vociferously de manding his presence. "Tell him to come In here! He's out there. " I beard George Just let him In. Now yoe'll see!" And tear-stained Mrs. Sheridan, looking out Into the ball, beckoned to ber son. Bibbs went as far as the doorway. Gurney sat winding a strip of white cotton, his black bag open upon a chair near by; and Sheridan was strid ing up and down, bis hand so heavily wrapped In fresh bandages that he seemed to he wearing a small boxing glove. His eyes were bloodshot; bis forehead was heavily bedewed; one side of his collar had broken loose, and there were blood stains upon Ms right cuff. "There's our little sunshine!" be cried, as Bibbs appeared. "There's the hope o' the famliy—my lifelong pride and Joy! I want—" "Keep your hand In that sling," said Ourney, sharply. Hherldan turned upon him, uttering a sound Ilka a howl. "For Ood's sake, sing another tune!" be cried. "You said you 'came as a doctor but stay as a friend,' and In that capacity you undertake to alt up and criticise ma—" "Oh, talk sense," said the doctor, and yawned Intentionally. "What do you want Bibbs to say?" "You were slttln' up there telHn' me I got 'hysterical'—■hysterical,' oh Lord! You sat up there and told ma I got 'hysterical' over nothin'! You aat op there tellln' me I didn't bava as heavy burdens ss many another man you knew. I Just want you to bear this. Now listen!" He swung toward tbs quiet figure waiting In the doorway. "Bibbs' will yon come down town with me Monday morning and let me start you with two vice-presidencies, a di rectorship, stock and sslarles? I ask yo"." "No, father," said Blbba, gently. Sheridan looked at Ourney and then faced his son once mora. ' "And I'd like the doctor to bear: What 'II you do If I decide you're too high-priced a workln- man either to live In my house or work In my shop?" "Find other work," said Blbba. "There! You bear him for youraelf!" Sheridan cried. "You hear what —" "Keep your band In that sling! Yes, I bear him." Hherldan leaned over Ourney and shouted. In a voice that cracked and broke, piping Into falsetto: "He thinks of beln' a plumber !He wants to be a plumber so be can think!" He fell back a step, wiping bis fore bead with the back of bis left band. "There! Tbat'e my son! That's the only son I got now! That's my chance to live," he cried, with a bitterness that seemed to leave ashes In bis throat "Tbat'e my one chance to j live—that thing you see In the door way yonder!" Doctor Ourney thoughtfully regard ed the bandage strip be bad been winding, and toaaed It Into the open bag. "What's the matter with giving Bibbs a chance to live?" he as Id. cool ly. "I would If I were you. You've had two that went Into business." Sheridan's mouth moved grotaaqnely before be could speak. "Joe Ourney," he said, when he could command hlm •eif so far, "are yon accualn' me of s» ■ f "Who's Paying You That Nina Dollara a Week?" the responsibility for the death of my son James?" "I sccuse yon of nothing," said the doctor. "Bat Just once I'd like to have It out with yon on the question of Bibbs—and whlls he's here, too." He got up, walked to the Are, and stood warming hla hands behind his bsck and smiling. "Look here, old fellow, let's be reasonable," he said. "You were bound Bibbs should go to the shop again, and he did go, and he's made good there. Now, see: Isn't that enough? Cant you let him off now? He wants to write, and how do you know that be couldn't do It If you gave him a chance? How do you know he hasn't some message—something to say that might make the world Just a little bit happier or wiser? I'm not speaking as doctor now. But I tell you one thing I know: If yon take him down there you'll kill something that I feel is in him, snd It's liner, I think, than his physical body, and you'll kill It deader than a door-nail 1 And so why not let It live? You've about come to the end of your string, old fellow. Why not stop tblj perpetual devilish fighting and give Bibbs his chance?" Sheridan stood looking at blm fixed ly. "What 'fighting?' " "Yours—with nature." Ourney sus tained the daunting gaze of bis fierce antagonist equably. "You don't seem to, understand that you've been strug gling against actual law." "What law?" "Natural law," said Ourney. "What do you tlilnk beat you with EdltbT Did Edith, herself, beat you? Didn't she obey without question something powerful that was against you? Edith wasn't against you, and you weren't aginst her, but you set yourself against the power that had her In lta grip, and It shot out a spurt of flame —and woo In a walk! What's taken Roscoe from you? Timbers bear Just so much strain, old man; but you wanted to send the load across the broken bridga, and you thought you could or coax the cracked thing Into standing. Well, you couldn't! isow here's Blbba. There are thousands of men fit for the life you want blm to lead —and so Is he. It wouldn't take half of Blbba' brains to be twice as good a business man as Jim and Roscoe put together." "What!" Sheridan goggled at blm like a zany. "Your son Bibbs," said the doctor, composedly. "lilbbs Hherldan has the kind and quantity of 'gray matter' that will make blm a success In anything— If be ever wakes up! The thousands of men fit for the life you want blm to lead aren't lit to do much with the life he ought to lead. Blindly, he's been fighting for the chance to lead It —he's obeying something that begs to stay alive wltbln him; and, blindly, ha knows you'll crush It out. You've set your will to do It. Let me tell you •ometblng more. You're half mad with TO BB CONTINUED. WISDOM OF THE ANCIENTS I* the Days of Abraham People Had Clear Ideas of Personal Liabili ties for Fires. In the days of Abraham. 21151241 B. C.. Hammurabi, king of Babylon, promulgated a law that those guilty of arson or Incendiarism should bs thrown into the Are. In the !ld chap tar of Exodus and 6th veree the great lawgiver, Moses, caught hold of the same Idea and wrote aa follows : "If lira break out, and oatch In thorns (dry graaa, pile* of refuse and rub bish) so that the etaoks of corn, or the standing corn, or the Held, be eon stinted therewith, he that kladleth the fire (through nareleeaneee or anr other means) shall surely make resti tution " Some clear Ideas as to per sonal liability were evidently enter tained by the ancient lawmakers which their modern suoceesors would do well to cultivate.—Fire Facta.
