Wilkms J! i 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 begri to- grow pale with the late win ter dawri. - Farhiliar objects began "to gain clearness of outline. There were two vindbws in James' room. They - Freeman.

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." ilT I I 1 - . 11 -I - l Liignt it qmcK, men, ana come :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'."

"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.

The man had his face staring into the room. He; did not seem to see me, but looked past me at the bed." "He might easily have thought that room, being on the ground floor and accessible to night-calls, was mine.'' said; Doctor Gordon, as if to himself. ;: ;"! thought how easily he could have climbed up one of ttie piazza posts to her room," said James. - '( ' The Doctor "started. . "Yes, vthat . is so," he said. ."He might tiave had two motives. That is so." The next call was at a patient's who had a slight attack of grippe.

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!" . .

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."
