CHAPTER V Continued
"Yes, I think it is," agreed Doctor
Gordon gloomily, ""but again, I say;- I
see no other way out of it. However,
perhaps you or I cantake her out some
times of an evening. I suppose it had
belter be you, on some accounts." I will
see. Well, I will take off my coat and
get something to eat. I suppose Clara
and Clemency have gone to bed."
"They went hours ago," .replied
James. It was, in fact, two in the morn
ing. James followed the doctor, hag
gard and weary, into the kitchen,
where, according to custom at such
times, some dinner had been left to
keep warm on the range. "I'll sit down
here," said Doctor Gordon. "It is warm
er; than, in the dining-room, and I am
chilled through. If you' don't . mind,
Elliot, I wish you would gfmea bot
tle of apple-jack from the dining-room.
I must have something to hearten me
up,, or I shall go by the board, arid I
don't know what will become of her
of them."
James sat and waited while the doc
tor ate and; drank. When he had fin
ished, he looked a little less haggard.
He stretched himself before the warm
glow from the range and laughed.
"Now I feel my fighting blood is up
again," he said. "After all. if there
is anything in the Good Book, the
wicked shall not always triumph, and
I mav win out. I shall do my best any
how. Bui I confess you took the wind
out of me with what you told me when
I came in. I am glad Clara does; not
know. Poor little Clemency having to
pave her way . with lies; but it would
kill Clara." Oh, God. it does seem "as
if I had enough before. Take my ad
vice, young man, and try to think more
of yourself than anybody else iny the
world. Don't let your heart go out to
anybody. Just as sure as .you do, the
door of the worst torture-chamber in
creation swings open. The minute you
become vulnerable through love, you
haven't a strong place in your whole
armor.".
"What a doctrine!" observed James.
"I know it, but I have, taken a fancy
to you. boy; and hang it if I want
you to suffer as I have to.
"But a man would not be a man at
all if, he did not think, enough of some
body to suffer," said James, and now
he was thinking of poor little Clem
ency, : and how she had nestled up to
him for protection. .. . .
Maybe " said Doctor Gordon gloom
ily, "but sometimes -I wonder whether
it pays in the long run to be what you
call a man. Sometimes' I wish that I
were a rock or a1 tree. I do tonight."
You will feel better after you have
trad a ttttlesieelr:,"-Jaines saW-as the
two men rose. . . ;
Suddenly one of Doctor Gordon's in
explicable changes of mood came over
him. He laughed. "If it were not so
late we would go down to Georgie
K.'s," said he. "I never felt more
awake. Well, I guess it's too late. You
must be dead tired yourself. I have
not thanked you at all for your rescue
of the girl. She would have been down
with a serious illness if you had not
gone, for she would have lain in that
place being snowed over until s'ome
bodycame." "She was mighty clever to do what
she did." said James.
"Yes, she is clever," returned Doc
tor Gordon. "She is a good girl, and it
stings me to the very heart that she
has to suffer such persecution. Well,
'all's, well that ends well. Did it ever
occur , to you that God made up to
mankind for the horrors of creation," by
stating that there would be an end to
it some v day ? Good God. if this ter
rible world had to roll on to all eter
nity!" Doctor Gordoh laughed again
his unnatural laugh. "Fancy if you
were awakened tonight by the last
trump," he said. "How small every
thing would seem. Hang it, though, if
I wouldn't try to have a hand at that
man's finish' before the anger Of the
Lord got his flaming sword at work."
James looked at him with terror.
"Don't mind me, boy,'' said Gordon.
"I don't mean to blaspheme; but Job
is not in it. with me just now. You can:
riot -imagine what I -had-to contend
with before this melodramic villain
appeared on the stage. Sometimes I
think this is the finish," Gordon's
mouth contracted. He; looked savage:
James continued' to stare at him. Gor
don laid his hand on James shoulder.
'JThank the Lord for one thing," he
said almost, tenderly, "that he sent
you here. Between us we will take
care of poor little Clemency .anyhow.
Now go to bed,- and go to sleep."
,. James obeyed as to the one, but he
could not as to the Other. He became,
as the hours wore on, so nervous that
he was half-inclined to take a sleep-'
irig powder. The room seemed full" of
flashes of lightning. He heard sounds
which made him cold with horror. He
was highly strung nervously, and was
really in a state bordering upon hys
teria. The mystery which surrounded'
him was the main Cause: He Was never
himself before an unknown quantity.
He had too much imagination. He made
all sorts of surmises as; to the stran
ger who Was haunting Clemency. Start
ing with two . known quantities, he
might have accomplished . something!
but here he had only one: CIemency
herself. He had a good .head tot. algo?
brai but a man cannot, wdrkrout'
problem easily with only one known
quantity. He rbegan, .tp Wdrider At the
poor girl herseir. were; sleeping. He
realized a sort of pfotectine tender
ness, for her., and indignation on her
behalf. It .did not occur to him as be
ing love. Still ttie image of her wonder
ful, mother" dominated him. But his
mind dwelt upon the girl. He thought
of a piazza whose roof opened, as he
knew upon, Clemency's r6om.He won
dered if a man tike' that, would stick
at . any things. Then 4 he , recalled wjfat
Doctor Gordon had said about- Clem
ency's not being in any bodily danger,
and . again he' speculated. The room

made a leap from his bed. ie sprang
to one of.f'tHe' KyJiWlpw'i Flattened
against it was the face of the man.
But the face, was so destitute, of con
sciousness of him, that James doubted
if he saw rightly. The wide eyes seem
ed 'to gaze upon him without seeing
him. the mouth smiled as if at some
thing within. The next moment James
was sure that the face was not there.
He drew on his trousers, thrust his
feet into his shoes, and was out of his
room'and 'f tie "n'ouse, and'o'ri the piazza.
It was still snowing, but the dawn was
overcoming the storm.' . The whole
world was lit with dead white "pallor
like the face of a corpse. James rushed
the length of the piazza. He looked at
the walk leading to it: He thought he
could distinguish footprints. He looked
on the piazza, but the wind, being on
the other side of the house, there was
not enough snow there to make foot
prints visible. The snow on the walk
was drifted, He looked at it closely,
and made sure of deep marks. He
stood for a moment undecided what to
do. He disliked to? arouse Doctor Gor
don. He was afraid of awakening Mrs.
Ewing,.if he ventured into the upper
part of ttie house. Then he thought of
the, man t Aaron who slept in a room
over .the stable.. He re-entered the
house. locked the front door, went
softly into, the doctor's jstudy, and out
of the door which was riear ttie stable.
Then he made a hard snowball, and
threw it at,Aaron's window'. The win
dow opened directly, and Aaron's head
appeared. James could see, even in the
dim ligtit, and presumably just awaken
ed from sleep, the . rotary motion of
his jaws. He was probably not chewing
anything, simply moving , his mouth
from, force of habit. "Hullo!" said
Aaron, "that you Doctor Gordon?"
"No, it is I," replied James.' "Put on
something as quick as you can, and
come down7 here. Something is wrong."
Aaron's head disappeared. In an in
credibly short space of time the stable
door was unlocked and slid cautiously
back, and Aaron sto6d there, huddled
into his clothes. ."What's up?" he said.
"I don't know. Have you got a
lantern in the stable?"
"Yep."

:Aron obeyed. "Anybody sick," he
asked, coming alongside with the flash
ing lantern. He threw a cloth over it
so as to prevent the rays shining into
the house windows. "I don't want to
frighten her," he said, and James knew
that he meant Mrs. Ewing. "She's
awful nervous " said Aaron. Then he
said again. "What's up?"
f'l saw a man's- face looking1 into!Cnte1
of my" windows," replied James.1
Aaron gave a low whistle. "Some
body wanted the doc?" he inquired.
"No," replied James shortly, "It was
not."
"Must have been."
"No it was not."
. "Must have been," repeated Aaron,
chewing. . .
"I tell you it was hot. I know"
James, stopped. He suddenly wondered
how much he ought to tell, the man,
.how much Doctor Gordon had told
him.
Aaron chewed imperturbably, but a
sly look came into his face. "I have
eyes, and they see, and ears, and they
hear,""he said, after and old Ccriptural
fashion,' "but don t you" tell me noth1
irt', Doctor Elliot. Either I take what l
get from . the fountain-head.; or I
. makes my own conslusibns that I can't
Vhelp: Don't you tell me nothin'. S'pose
we look an' see ef there's footprints
that show anythin'."
Aaron filashed the lantern, all the
time carefully shading it from the.
house windows, over the walk 'which!'

led to the fronit door and the piazza.
James followed' him. "Well," said
Aaron," there's been somebody here,
but, with snow like this, it might have
been a monkey or a rhinoceros or an
alligator. You can't makg nothin' of
them tracks. But they do go out to the
road, "and turn toward Stanbrrdge."
"Suppose we " began James. He
was about to suggest following the
prints, when he remembered Doctor
Gordon's injunction to the contrary.
However, Aaron anticipated him.
"Might as well leave the devil alone,"
said he. "It might have been the old
one himself, for all we can tell by
them tracks. "Y6u had better go back
tombed. Doctor :EllioC You ain't got
much on. It ain't near breakfast time
yet. Better go back to bed."
V Arid James thought such a course
the wiser one-himself. He went back
to bed, but not, to sleep. He kept his
eyes tixed upon the windows. He was
prepared at any instant, should the
man reappear, to spring out. He felt
.almost murderous. "It has come to a
pretty pass," . he thought, "if that
scoundrel, whoever he may be, is lurk
ing abound the house at night."
The daylight came slowly on account
of the storm. When it did come, it was
an opaque white daylight. James be
gan to smell coffee and frying ham.
He rose "arid dressed hiinself, and look
ed out of the window. It was like look
ing upon. a blurred mirror. He began
to morider if he could; have' been mis
taken, if possibly that face had been
simply ri vision; which had come from
his Overwrought sb"raiti."' He wondered
if he should telTDoctor Gordon, if it
might'' riot" distitrD hiiri'1 unnecessarily.
He wondered if jie should have en
forced ecrecy uf on Aaron. He was
still undecided when the Japanese
gong sounded, and he went out to
breakfast. Clemency was looking worn
and ill: Somehow the sight of her
piteous little face decided James. He
thought how' easily ' an athletic man
could climb up one of those piazza

by a strong olif" vine which might
almost serve as"u-'a! ladder. He made
up his mind to tell Doctor Gordon, and
he did tell ' him " when they were out
upon-their rounds, tilting and sliding
along the drifted ' country roads in .an
old sleigh: "I dOht think I can be mis
taken," he said when he had finished.

"None. The man had his face staring

The Doctor "started. . "Yes, vthat . is
so," he said. ."He might tiave had two

The next call was at a patient's who
had a slight attack of grippe. Doctor

he would make another call and .be

has been staying," he said, and his
face, settled into a stern melancholy.
That evening, although the storm con
tinued, he suggested a visit to Georgie
K.'s; and at supper time he insisted
upon Clemency's occupying another
room that night'. "The wind is on your
side of the house," he said, "and I
am afraid you will take riibre cold.'4
Clemency stared arid pouted, then
said ." All right. Uncle Tom!" . .
Even the apple-jaek and euchre at
Georgie K.'s Avere not sufficient to en
tirely establish Doctor Gordon in his
devil-may-care mood. Georgie K. kept
looking at him with solicitation, which
had soniething tender about it. "Don't
you feel well. Doc?" he asked.
"Never felt better in my life," re
turned Gordon quickly. "Tonight I am
feeling particularly good, because I
really think I have evolved an ufterly
new theory of death and disease which
.ought to make me famous, if I ever
get a chance to write a book about it."
Georgie K. stared at him inquiringly.
