Tb -, Houm In tbe Mi." "The Atnethytt Box." Etc COPYRIGHT. 1900, THl BOBBS-MERRILL COMPANY. In "The Woman In the Alcove" Anna Katharine Green has wo ven a plot of unusual intricacy and interest. The, mystery is most cleverly unraveled through the agency of no professional detective, but by a young woman whose heart is enlisted in the cause .of one of the suspects. She is made to tell her story with all the welt known skill of the author, which has won for her the highest place among American writers of stories of mystery. CHAPTER L. DWAS perhaps the. plainest girl In the room that night. I was also the happiest up to 1 o'clock. Then my whole world crumbled, - or at least suffered an eclipse. Why and how I am about to relate. I was not made for lore.. This I had often said to myself, very often of late. In figure I am too diminutive. In face far too unbeautiful for me to cherish expectations of this nature. Indeed love had never entered into my plan of life, as was evinced by the nurse's diploma I had just gained after three years of Jiard study and severe train ing. - . - I I was not made for love. But If I had been, had I been gifted with height, regularity of feature or even with that eloquence of expression which redeems all defects save those which savor of deformity, I knew well whose eye I should have chosen to please, whose heart I shouW have felt proud to win. This'ihowledflre came with a rush to my heart aid I 'say heart? I should have said . understanding, which is something very different when at the end of the first dance I looked up from the midst of the bevy of gtrls by whom I was surrounded and saw Anson Du- rand's-fiEC figiir aLirgiDg from that quarter of the hall where our host and hostess stood to receive their guests. His eye was roaming hither and thith er, and his manner was both eager and expectant. Whom was he seeking? Soma one of the manv brisrht and viva- clous girls about me, for ne turned al most instantly our way. But which one? I thought I knew. I remembered at whose house I had met him first, at whose house ' I had seen, him -many times since. ' 'She was a lovely girl. witty and vivacious, and she stood at this very moment at my elbow. In her beauty lay the lure, the natural lure for a man of his gifts and striking per sonality. If I continued to watch I should soon see his countenance light up under the recognition she could not fall tor give him. And I was right. In another Instant it did," -and with a brightness there was no mistaking. But one feeling common to the human heart lends such warmth, such expressive ness to the features. How handsome it made him look, how distinguished, how everything I w"as not except But what does this mean? He has passed Mlss Sperry passed her with a smile and a friendly word and is speaking to me, singling me out, offer ing mehls arm. He Is smiling, too, not as he smiled on Miss Sperry, but more warmly, with more .that Is per-' sonal In It. I took his arm In a daze. Tbe lights were dimmer than I thought. Nothing was really bright except his smile. It seemed to 'change the world for' me. I forgot that I was plain, forgot that I was small, with nothing to recommend me to the eye or heart, and let myself be drawn away, asking nothing, anticipating nothing, till I found myself alone with him In tbe fragrant recesses of the conservatory, with only the throb of music lasotir ears to link us to the scene we had left Why had he brought me here Into this fairyland of opalescent lights and intoxicating perfumes? What could he have to say to show? Ah, In an other moment I knew! He had seized my hands, and love, ardent love, cameJ pouring from his lips. Gould it be real? Was I the object of all this feeling, I? If so, then life had changed for me indeed. Silent from rush of emotion I search ed his face to see If this paradise, whose gates I was . thus passionately Ridden to enter, was Indeed a verity or only a dream born of the excitement of the dance and the charm' of a scene exceptional in its splendor and pictur esqueness even for sq luxurious a city as New York. , But It was no mere dream. Truth a'nd earnestness were In hia manner, and his words were neither feverish nor fordl. - . "I love youl I need, your Bo I imrd, and so he soon made me believe. "You have charmed me from the first Your tantalizing, trusting, "loyal self, like no other, sweeter than any other, has drawn the heart from my breast I have seen many women," admired L'many women, . but you only have I loved. Will you be my wife 7 I was dazzled, moved beyond any thing I could have conceived. Iforgot all that Ihad hitherto said to myself, all that I had endeavored to Impress upon' my heart when I beheld him ap- J proaching, Intent, aa I bllTtd, m hia : : tearch for another woman, and, con fiding in his honesty, trusting entirely to hia faith, I allowed the plans and purposes of years to vanish in the glamour of this new Joy . and spoke the word which linked us together, ia it bond which half an hour before I had never dreamed would unite me to any man. His impassioned "mine, mine!" filled ly cup to overflowing. Something of Ae ecstasy of living entered my soul, which In. spite of all I have suffered since recreated the world for me and made all that went before but the pre lude to the new life, the new Joy. Oh, I was happy, happy perhaps too h&Ppyl As the cbarvatory nlTedTah3 we passed back into the adjoining room the glimpse I caught f f myself In one of the mirrors startled me into thinking so, for had It not been for tbp odd color of my dress and the unique way in which I wore my hair that night I should not have recognized the beaming girl who faced me so naively from the depths of the responsive glass. . . - Can one be too happy ? I do not know. I know that one can be too per pleied, too burdened and too sad. Thus far I have spoken onlyof my self In connection with the evening') elaborate function; but, though enti tled by my old Dutch blood to a cer tain social consideration which I ani happy to say never failed me, I evei in this hour of supreme satisfaction attracted very little attention and awoke small comment There was an other woman present better calculated to do this a fair woman, large and of a bountiful presence, accustomed to conquest and gifted with the power of carrying off her victories with a cer tain lazy grace irresistibly fascinating to the ordinary man; a gorgeously ap pareled woman, with'a diamond on her breast too vivid for most women, al most too vivid for her, I noticed this diamond early in tbe evening, and then I noticed her. 3Lo was not as flne--a the diamond,' but she was very fine, and had I been in a less ecstatic frame of mind I might have envied the hom age she received from all the men, not excepting him upon whose arm I lean ed. Later there was no one in the world I envied less. The ball was a private and very ele gant one. There were some notable guests. One gentleman in particular was pointed out to me as an English man of "great distinction and political Importance. I thought him a very In teresting man for -bis years, but odd and a trifle self centered. Though greatly- courted, he seemed strangely restless ander tbe fire of eyes to which he was constantly subjected and only happy when free to use his own In con templation of the scene about, him. Had I been less absorbed in my own happiness I might have noted sooner than I did that this contemplation was confined to such groups as gathered about the lady with the diamond. But this I failed to observe at the time. and consequently.was much surprised' to come upon him at the end of one of the dances talking with this lady bran animated and courtly manner totally opposed to the apathy, amounting to boredom, with which he had hitherto met all advances. Yet It was not admiration for her person which he openly displayed. During the-: whole time he stood there his eyes seldom rose to her face. They lingered mainly and this was what aroused .mycurioslty-on the great fan of ostrich plumes which this opulent beauty held against her breast Was he desirous of seeing the great dia mond she thus unconsciously (or was It consciously) shielded from hia gaze? It was possible, for, as I continued to note him, he suddenly bent toward her and as quickly raised himself again with a . look which was quite inex plicable to me. The lady had shifted her fan a moment, and his eyes had fallen on the gem. The next thing I recall with - any definlteness was a tete-a-tete conversa tion which J held with my lover on a certain yellow divan at the end of one of the halls To the right of this divan rose cur tained recess, highly suggestive of ro?. mance, called "the alcove." As this al cove figures prominently in my story, I will pause here to describejt . It was-originally Intended to contain t large group of statuary which our host, Mr. Bamsdell, had ordered from Italy to adorn his new house. He Is a man of original ideas in regard to such matters and in' this Instance had gone sq far as to have this end of the bouse constructed with a special view to an advantageous display of this promised work of-art. Fearing the ponderous effect of a pedestal large enough to hold such a considerable group, he had planned to raise it to the level of the eye by having the alcove floor built a few feet higher than the main one. A flight of low, wide steps connected the two, which, following the curve of the wall, added much to the' beauty of this portion of the hall. The group was a failure and was never shipped. But thealcove remain ed and, possessing as It did ail the ad vantages of a room in the way of heat and light had been turned Into' a min iature retreat of exceptional beamty. The, seclusion It offered extended, or o we were happy to think, to the soli tary dl ran at its Um on wbkti Mr. Dorsad and I were seated. With pos sibly an andae. cousdvoc la U ad vantage of our poslrtoo, we were d! eosslns a subject interesting only to : ourselves when, Mr. Durasd interrupted himself to declare: "You are tbe wotn aI want, yoa and you only. And I want yoa booh, when do yoa think you can marry me? Within a week if-ir Did my look stop him? I was star tled. I had heard no incoherent phrase from him before. "A week!" I remonstrated. "We take more time than that to fit ourselves for a Journey or some transient pleasure. I hardly realise my engagement yet." "Yoa hare not been thinking of it for these last two months as I have." "No," I replied demurely, forgetting everything else In my delight at this admission, "Nor are'yoa nomad among clubs and restaurants." "No, I have a home." "Nor do yoa love me as deeply as 1 do you." This I .thought open to argument "The home yon speak of is a luxuri ous one," he continued. "I cannot of fer you its equal. Do yoa expect me tor I was Indignant ?You know that I do not Shall l. who deliberately chose a nurse's tlfe when an Indulgent uncle's heart and home were open to me, shrink from braving poverty with the man I love? We will begin as simply as yon please" "No," he peremptorily put in, yet with a certain hesitancy which seemed to speak of doubts he hardly acknowl edged to himself, "I will not marry you If I must expose you to privation or to the genteel poverty I hate. I love you more than you realize and wish to make your life a happy one. I cannot give you all you have been accustomed to In your rich uncle's house, but If matters prosper with me, if the chance I hare built on succeeds and It will fall or succeed tonight you win have those comforts which love will height en into luxuries and and" 'He was becoming Incoherent and this time with his eyes fixed elsewhere than on my face. Following his gaze, I discovered what had distracted his Attention. The lady with the diamond was approaching us on her way to the alcove.- She was accompanied by two gentlemen, both strangers to me, and her head, sparkling with' brilliants, was turning from one to the other with, an indolent grace. I was not sur prised that the man. at my side quiv ered and made a start as if to rise. She was a gorgeous image. In compar ison with her .Imposing figure in its trailing robe of rich pink velvet my diminutive frame in its sea green gown must have looked as faded and color less as a half obliterated! pastel. . "A striking woman," I remarked at I saw he was not likely to resume the conversation which her presence had Interrupted. "And what a diamond!" The glance he cast me was peculiar. "Did you notice it particularly?" he asked. -Astonished, for there was something very uneasy in his manner so that I half expected to see him rise and Join the group he was so eagerly watching without waiting for my lips to frame a response, I quickly replied: "It would be difficult not to notice what one would naturally expect to see only on the breast of a queen. But perhaps she Is a queen. I Bhould judge so from the homage which follows her." His eyes sought mine. There was Inquiry In them, but it was an inquiry I did not understand. "What can you know about dia monds?" he presently ' demanded. "Nothing but their glitter, and glitter is not all. The gem she wears may be a very tawdry one." I flushed with humiliation. N He was a dealer In gems that was his busi ness and the check which he had put upon my enthusiasm certainly made me conscious of my own presumption. Yet I was not disposed to take back my words. I had had a better oppor tunity than himself for seeing this re markable jewel, and, with the per versity of a somewhat ruffled mood, I burst forth as soon as the color bad subsided from my cheeks: L "No, not It Is. glorious, magnificent I never saw its like. I doubt if you ever hare, for all your daily acquaint ance with jewels. Its value must be enormous. Who Is she? You seem to know her." , . - . It was a direct question, but I re ceived no reply. Mr. Durand's eyes had followed the lady, who had lin gered somewhat ostentatiously on the top step, and they did not return to me till she had vanished with her com panions behind the long plush curtains which partly veiled the entrance. By this time he had forgotten my words. If he had ever heard them, and It was with the forced animation of one whose thoughts are elsewhere that he finally returned to the old plea: . When would I marry him? If he could offer me a home in a month and he would know by tomorrow if he could do so wouldCl come to him then? He would not say in a week. That wag perhaps tod soon. But In a month? Would' I not promise to be his in a month? What I answered I scarcely recall. His eyes had stolen back to the alcove, and mine had followed them. The gen tlemen who had accompanied the lady Inside were coming out again, but oth ers were advancing to take their places, and soon she was engaged hi holding a regular court in this favored retreat Why should this Interest me? Why should I notice her or look that way at all? Because Mr. Durand did? Pos sibly. I remember that for all bis ardent lo remaking I felt a little piqued that he should divide hia attentions In this way. Perhaps f thought that for this evening at lest be mJjbt nave Uet-xx l liiiJ te a Ber cutMrtte's'tasct otkn. I wa thus doubly e&gd ia listen ing to nay laers words ad la water ing the various g&tleaa wo went op and down the steps when a former partner adrfneed aod reminded me that I had promieed him a waits. Loath to leave JXr. Durand. yet tag no way of excostng myself to Mr. Fox, X cast an appealing fiance at the for mer and was greatly chagrined to Had him already on his feet "Enjoy your dance," be cried. - "I have a word to say to Mrs. Falrbroth er." and was -gone before my new partner had taken me on his arm. . Was Mrs. Falrbrother the lady with the diamond? Yes.- As I tamed to enter the parlor with my partner I caugbla glimpse of Mr. Durand's tall figure Just disappearing from the step behind the sage green curtains. "Wbc ls Mrs. Falrbrotherr I la quired of Mr. Fox at the end of the dance. Mr. Fox, who Is one of society's perennial beaux, knows everybody. "She Is well, she was Aboer Fair brother's wife. You know Falrbrother, the millionaire who bum that curious structure on Eighty-sixth street. At present they are living, apart an ami cable understanding, 4 believe. Iler diamond makes her conspicuous. It Is one of the most remarkable stones la New .York, perhaps fa the .United State. Have you observed It?" "Yes that Is, at a distance. Do you think her very handsome?' "Mrs. Falrbrother? She's called, so, but she's not my style." Here he gave me a killing glance. "I admire women of mind and heart. They do not need to wear Jewels worth an ordinary man's fortune.. I looked about for an excuse to leave this none too desirable partner. "Let us go back Into the long hall," I urged. "The ceaseless whirl of these dancers Is making me dizzy." With the ease of a gallant man he took me on his arm, and soon we were promenading again In the direction of the alcove. A passing glimpse of Its in terior was afforded me as we turned to retrace our steps In front of the yel low divan. Tbe lady with the diamond was still there. A fold of tbe superb pink velvet she wore protruded across the gap made by the half drawn cur tains, just as it had done a half hour before. But it was impossible to see her face or who was with her. What I could see, however, and did was the figure of a man leaning against the wall at the foot of the steps. At first I thought this person unknown to me; then 1 perceived that he was no other than the chief guest of the evening, the Englishman of whom I have previous ly spoken. His expression had altered.: He looked now both anxious and absorbed particularly anxious and particularly He 'plunged down the $tep vdth a' ory. absorbedso much so that I was not surprised that no one ventured to ap proach him. Again I wondered and again ! asked myself for whom or for what he was waiting. For Mr. Dorand to leave this lady's presence) No, no; I would not believe that Mr. Durand could not be there still, yet some wo men make it difficult for a man to leave them, and, realizing, this, I could not forbear casting a parting glance behind me as, yielding to Mr. Fox's lmportuntles, I turned toward the sup per room. It showed me the English man in the act of lifting two cups of coffee from a small table standing near the reception room door.' As his man ner plainly betokened -whither he was bound with this refreshment, I felt all my uneasiness vanish and was able to take my seat at one of the small tablet with which the supper room was filled and for a few minutes at least lend ao ear to Mr. Fox's vapid compliment and trite opinions. Then my attention wan dered. I had not moved nor had I shifted my gaze from the scene before me the ordinary scene of a gay and well filled supper room yet I found myself looking, as ff through a mist I had not even seen'' develop, at something as strange, unusual and remote as any phantasm, yet distinct enough in its outlines for me to get a decided im pression of a square of light surround ing the figure of a man in a peculiar pose not easily imagined and not easi ly described. It all passed In an In stant and I sat staring at the window opposite me with tbe feeling of one who has Just seen a vision. Ystalmoet immediately I forgot the whole occur rence in my anxiety as to Mr. Do rand's whereabouts. Certainly be was amusing himself very much elsewhere or hfwould have found an opportunity of Joining me long before this. He was not even In sight and I grew weary of the endless menu and the senseless chitchat of my companion and, finding him. amenable to my whims, rose from my seat at table and ' soy way u ru42 f .t aa rtsed'fMf J.i tt the rfrf rooa. dsr. . 1 l -.ten-l t tvrr KTeetiiyr ti hvl t rtt snotber fUar Oo tbe twrJ the strove.
