CHAPTER XIV.
A LOAN CALLED E
Russell's campaign had cost Gilbert Ray
Ail
quitea sum of money, but he di no take the
result hardly. On the contra. h declared
that he had had fun enough ou of he affair
to more than compensate him. d he pro-
ceeded to get as much more he could by
making game of Russell, who ws e ceeding-
ly sensitive on the subject, 1
Motor stock was booming bythis ime, and
Ruinell could have considered - lf a rich
man, except that his interest w4s a ere loan
payable to Deering, the invent° , o demand.
This fact was known only to tLe 0 parties
to- the agreement, and so Russ 11 iouid take
what comfort her could get Qutl of 1e know-
ledge that he was generally, sip to be
ou the highway to prosperity: In reality it
madehis position doubly dange ous, Living
constantly beyond his means, he now saw
himself surrounded by op o rtu4iities for
borrowing. His personal note w consider-
ed good by those who knew—o th ught they
knew—his connection with th M tor Com-
pany.
Deering remained a myste to Russell.
In their conversations, which ere not fre-
quent, the inventor expressed no gratitude
for what Russell bad done in evcioping the
motor. He seemed to think t all the
credit was due to the machin lid to be
continually suspicious lest ju c& might not
be done to this creature of whee s aind pinions.
Russell believed more than n that the
leventor was on the point of is tning pos-
session for sonie violation o t e honesty
-contract. It would have been _ ess to re-
sist such a claim, for the two y rs during
which their agreement was to ( were now
drawing rapidly toward their • . o
Reflecting upon the approac o that time,
Russell became more deeply d 2 sp endent than
ever. He could form no pl ; . - He had
' made no valuable connections except his
acquaintance with Ray, and bp was resolved
not to seek any more favors at his hands.
To suppose he was never temp ed to end his
finencial trouhles by seeking a nn1rriage with
Alice Pater, who was rich in 1]er own right
without regard to her fat erh; millions.
would be to imagine a better 1. . n than Russell.
He was surrounded by men w . o would have
regarded such an alliance as th last possibili-
ty iri the way of good fortun who thought
of marrying for money as a siness against
which nothing could be said xcept that it
was difficult. But Russell ha never ceased
to regard such a thought as treachery to
his friend. He could not hel thinking now
and then that Alice had ina roved wonder-
fully during the two years since Brown
went away. She had develo ed more rapid-
ly than even the man who 1 ved her could
have hoped. "If Brown :ttributes any
part of that to me," thou t Russell, "he
will overwhelm me with nistaken grati-
tude."
In the last days of win
diaeu such
thoughts RS these were oftni in Russell's
mind, there came to him a start-
ling piece of news. He tcols a morning
paper from his desk one dify with no in-
tention of reading it; he was thinking only
to lay it aside and make roort for something
-else. But as he held it in bisjhaud a dispatch
not four lines long seenicel tf stare at him
out of the page more conspiquously than all
the large type and screatnin headlines. It
announced that Walter Bron, in the em-
ploy of the- corepany whi b. had been en-
gaged in operations in Cent al Africa, had
died of fever in Cape Town oi his way home.
Within an hour. and bef re Russell had
fairly come to realize what lie had read a
EVIDENTLY IT WAS HIS purr TO CARRY
THE NEWS TO HER.
man who had known Browi well came in to
tell the news. He, too. hajd seen the item.
They spoke together kind!f of the dead, and
in. a moment Russell was 1 ft alone. Ile was
sincerely grieved. In th' king of the char-
acter of Brown as he ha often done since
their memorable conversatjion, he had come
to have a higher appreciat4on of his genuine
good qualities than he
they were together. He ever elt when
t
looked forward
with pleasant anticipatio s to Brown's re-
turn, in spite of the tho, ghts that would
come when the face of Alice entered into
such fancies.
Evidently it was his d ty now to earrY
the news to her. He c1sed his desk, and
took a train up -town at 01 ce. The mausuai
hour and the serious loo in Russell's faee
alarmed Alice at once. 5 e feared that some
vilaliap had befallen her father. When she
learned the truth, she e iiessed great sorrow
and spoke with, deep f ling of i her high
Opinion of the Man hose eiLteer, had

Y. But there was
somettung in ner words which made Rua-
eell's heart beat strangely. Purely not thus
would she have heard wb.at he had told her
if she had ever loved or could have loved his
friend. •
- The followiniAlays brought no new facts ,
regarding the d th of Brown, except a gen- !
eral confirmation of the report. There was '
no ground for hope, and Russell reflected
sadly that he had lost a friend in the hour of
in
his utmost need.
For all things were not well with him. He
had been mak' a strong effort to stem the
tide and could bake some headway, but the
time was short and the debts which Midi
be met were h etk vy and pressing. However,
he had had a g4md fortune in one or two in-
vestments reco mended by,Ray, and with
care might hoe to make an even showing in
his personal ac .ounts before long: But after
that, what? - Ble did not know; and, if the
truth must be told, at times he did not care.
Yet now and tion the life he had been lead-
ing,iwith its incuryand leisure, would take
had upon him. Tree, he had found little
satisfaction in 't, but could he not do better
with -a longer 1 opportunity? He shuddered
to think of a-rturn to the monotonousexist-
euce he had 1e4 -two years before, and yet, in
all his pouderijig on the problem which con- •
fronted him, h was conscious of a feeling
that all thing were uniting to push him
back into the Id wave At sueh times he
would rememiler the wish he had made to
borrow this luiturious life for two years, and
the thought tbat he should be ready to deliv-
er it up when jthe tirne expired. Had that
wish been g -r nted, and was the creditor,
fate, to call hi s to a speedy account? He
hoped he mi ht be ready to meet the de-
mand, but the n was still ranch to be done.
It has appea ed to some men that an at-
tempt to turn ver a new leaf was a signal
never neg1ecte1 by the spirit of malevolence.
Russellhad of en experienced this sensation.
And now, wh he had hope that the time
allowed him, though short, would suffice to
enable him at east to free himself from pe-
cuniary obligations, came the crowning mis-
fortune of all 'Deering demanded the in-
vention. He accused Russell of certain
manipulations of the 'stock for which, in
reality, Ray was responsible. .Deering said
that such operations would ruin the company,
and he intimated that such was the inten-
tion, in order jhat the interest which would
soon revert t4 him might be cheaply pur-
chased.
In vain Ru 11 endeavored to show him
the true state bf the case. The man was as
hard asa cast- teel pinion itt his own machine.
DEERING DEMANDED THE INVENTION.
He would take the matter into the courts.
Russell had np heart for such a contest. He
premised th4 in a. week's timehe would de-
liver over a14 his title and his books, and
with this proxiize Deering grumblingly con-
sented to be atisfied.
And so R ssell was brought face to face
'with his desl4ny. If it had come naturally
at the time 1 hich he had kept in mind, be
might have 4iet it with resignation, but this
hurry of fate seemed like a personal injury,
and it emb1tered him. In this emergency
his mind turned to Alice, and gent1y as he
had often th ught of her 1n thtir last days
when his btter impulses were awakened,
and all seemd traceable to her, but in a way
of which h was inwardly ashamed.. He
thought of her as a means of escape
from his t oubles. He withdrew -into a
wretched co er of his own soul, and count-
ed her mon 37, like a miser who knows the
love of it t be a sin, but can not shake him -
Rif free of t. Death had removed his obli-
gation to hi - friend. Refixed his eyes upon
this little myth and did not see the great
falsity of his position when he should offer a
love that was half covetousness.
A thousand sophistries rose to his aid,
and helped him overthrow the weakness
of his resolution. He had loved her for
herself: he would strive all his lite to
make her happy; if she loved him what
did the motive of his proposal matter?
Thus he reasoned, but in reality a fear of
poverty Weis stronger than love; his steps
were urgedby cowardice when . he turned
' them totvand her. Well, it was not the first
time that the little winged god had had td
stop his ears to shut out the jingle of gold.
're CHAPTER XV.
LOWS WORD IS LAW.
When Russell stood in the peesence of
Alice Ray the various sophistries by which
he had perSuaded himself that he had a right
to ask her to be his wife, took their proper
shaPes like Fio many hideous genii at the touch
of the good enchantress in the old stories of
_the East. He saw that they were hollow
and false: he saw himself, too, for what he
was:
There wx4s an honest vein of romance in
his nature. He had often dreamed—without
the hope of realization, as the blind dream of
seeing --that he should some day stand before
a woman h4 could love, offering her the 1;er--
vices of his life, the love of his whole heart,
and asking in return what all men hope to
win but few deserve. The hour for such
pleading had come; and Alice—he had never
framed a fancy half so worthy. And yet
how different was the Scene from all that he
had pictured. He shuddered at the thought
of offering his wretched heart to her.
A womari seldom lacks a premonition
when a motnentesuch as this has come.
Alice saw Russell stand staring at her
scithoat speaking; she marked the in-
tensity of his gaze and the pallid iexcite-
meut in his face. She NVOS 11111Cli disturbed,
and yet she iihited for his words with an ap-
pearance of calmness.
"Alice:" said he, "the life I have been lead-
ing fills me with disgust: _ I want to change
it for something better."
"I hope, in 6eed, you may," said Alice. "if
it has failed 'Of satisfy you."
'It has faikld in a hundred ways," he re-
plied. "It h4s failed to give me peace of
mind or hbert . I have been the slave to it.
It has failed of any good object except one,
which I now see was far too - high—was
never to le ret ched by any path that I have
found."
"Get into the better path at once, then,"
said she, smiling. And thea gravely: "I
think, perhato you have not been in the
right road du ing the last year. Forgive
mysayiug so: re have been—we are—very
good friends, nd it has given me pain to see
that you hav been unhappy. I have seen
far less of yo than formerly, but it has been
enough to sho .me that you were careworn
and Weary. s great many young men grow
old very fast i these days, and I have fear-
ed that you w uld be one of them."
"I feel as 'f 1 were old. Perhaps it is
because I hay lived two lives already, and
have made fai ures of them both. You know
that before I met you I had for seven of
.eight years lei]d the most monotonous exist-
ence ever end red by Mortal man, outside a
prison. I tho ght that there was happiness
in blind routi e, but one day I awoke to find
that it was nisery. Then, in a wild deter-
mination,I ti rew myself into a life, of the
most rest1 activity. That has burned
itself out. aii4 I hardly know what reanaing.Is
•- ,
"There remains the middle ath," said
Alice. "Many wise men have thought it the
best."
,4 fear I CM not walk in it," sistid Ruseen,
sadly. "It requires caution which I have
lately thrown away, and a faculty of ration-
allyhoping, which I do not think I ever wee
sessed. Moreover, the middle path in these
days cau.hardly 1):3 said to exist. It is over-
grown, because so few travel in it. , If I give
up my present life, I Must go.back to poverty,
and -that means isolation." '
"It means no isolation as far as we 'are
concerned," said Alice, warmly. "What-
ever -life you choose our doors will be always
open to you."
"Alice, they must be forever closed to me.
The reason, I . will not insult your intelli-
gence by pretending to conceal. You read it
in my face, as Inan read the knowledge of it
in yours. 1 love you; and you know it: and
you also knosii a thousand reasons why I
should not say it."
"I know not one," said Alice, in a voice
that struggled to be calm, "if it be true."
"Itis all the truth I know. It has been
the one cider certainty in a myriad of
chimeras, It has been the influence
that has kept the little good in me
alive to fight • its lost battle with
the evil. If I had not loved you, I
should have eome here to -day and asked you
in set phrases tobemy wife. I should have
counterfeited the emotion which I am now
struggling to suppresi: I should have met,
no doubt, the contempt which I deserved,
but which I hope to escape by fishing you no
more than to bid me a fair good-bye, and to
think of me as trying to deserve the very
small share in your kindly remembrance
which is all I dare to hope for."
Alice had preserved the semblance of com-
posure during most of this conversation, but
there is something in the word good-bye
which strikes straight at a woman's heart, if
she loves. And Alice loved Russell. There
will be no mystory- with the reader on that
point. She saw the serious purpose in his
looks, and the t4ars blinded her eyes. She
sank into a cL4Lir and covered her face.
Russell saw the sign, and he was overwhelm-
ed with constei uttion.
"I am a brut to have grieved you so," he
exclaimed. "I was a madman to have come
here at all, bri ging my miserable story of
weakness and irresolution to your ears."
He began to Pace the room but as he ap-
proached the door, she looked up, hastily
crying: "Oh, please, not yet; I have much
more to say."
"Alice, what do these tears mean? Is it
possible that you have thrown away your
heart upon so poor a creattire as I am?"
"Don't talk so of yourself. It is possible.
It has been true I can't say how long, and I
thought—"
Russell groaned aloud.
"If there were a.ny possible atonement,
but what can I do? .1 could promise a hun-
dred reformations. I could picture a dozen
ways of life inlevery one of which I should
certainly fail."
"My father does not think so of .you.
Whit have you done to make you so hope-
less of yourself?"
"For two years I have led a life whol-
ly artificial, which, as I look back upon
it, seems to hate contained no act that was
better than half -honest. Part of it, I admit,
has been up to Ithe standard of the ethics of
businesa and when I say that another part
has fallen below that standard, I use langu-
age which could hardly be stronger. There
is this that I May say: I have so arranged
my affairs that I can right every financial
wrong that I have done but I shall have
nothing left: The two sides of the account
balance with an accuracy that is little short
of miraculonse But when I have done that,
I shall have nothing--certeinly, I shall have
neither courage nor opportunity to begin
any life but th dullest of salaried drudg-
ery."
"My father-]-'
"Has alined been too kind. I could not
permit, him td help me. Come, Alice, say
good-bye. The time has Come."

It was -May again. Russell had spent some
days in putting his affairs in order. And now
he had paid his last loan, and had come to
the end of such business as had occupied
him. He had no prospects; no money: noth-
ing to do. He found himself • by chance at
noon upon the very spot where he had stood,
and thought for the first time that a life of
activity in the pursuit of money might have
sopie interest. He had tried it. The two
years he had asked for had been granted
him, and they were ended. It -was the twelth
ofH,— had taken from the interview with
Alice some fresh hopes, which had all faded
now. Courage to renew the battle would
not come at his man_ He eveu meditated
ending it by his own hand, as he had thought
of doing two years before. As to his love he
was filled with the insane idoa that that, too,
had been lent to him and had gone, with the
years, beyond recall.
; He stood in a doorway, lookieg out upon
Wall street, but seeing nothing of the hurry-
ing throng, until at last he was conscious that
one face, not moving like the others but
standing immovably, wa.s growing clear upon
his vision . out of the general confusion. He
looked again : it even the face of Walter Brown,
There could be no doubt about it; the
-wanderer had returned—returned from the
grave it almost seemed, for months had
passed since Russell had believed him dead.
Yet there he stood talking with an acquain-
tance whom he had stopped at the edge of
the pavement.

GENTLEMEN,—My daughter took a severe cold on

tled all throtigh her systesn. She had al severe
headache, pain in the cords of her neck, eags, right
side and through her body generally,followed oon by
obillafever, poor and failing appetite and naosea. A
cough set in, the lipe became very pale and sys-
tem bloodless; tongue thickly coated yellow; diz-
ziness, extreme prostration and rapid declinefollote-
ed. I consult. d Dr. Rear, who seeined to b much
alarmed at my- daughter's condition. Be pre-
scribed the Hietogenetic remedies for her, and the
gained rapisilv, and only required three Iota el medi-
cine and one visit. In one month she was cured
soundly. I considerber east was a very hopeleife ollos
and that Histogenetic Medicines and the doctor's
good adviee saved her life. I think it is the best
system of medicine.
