CHAPTER XXXII.—Continued.
A Goaaip.
When ehe returned she found Aunt
Letltla listening to the gossip of Mrs.
Prosser, a woman who liked to talk.
Mrs. Prosser was recounting with great
vim the escapades In which Basil had
engaged while Intoxicated In the vil
lage.
Aurtt Letltla had no great love for
her nephew, and ahe listened with
the same eagerness that Mrs. Prosser
showed In relating the tale.
Rose made a vigorous defense of her-
brother. Bhe scored Mrs. Prosser as
one of tbe scandalmongers of the
neighborhood and reminded that lady
that the late Mr. Prosser had not al
ways stayed In the straight and narrow
path, causing that lady to leave In high
dudgeon.
Unknown to all of them, Basil had
returned to the house early In the aft
ernoon, had overheard Mrs. Prosser re
lating her choice bits of gossip and
recognized the eagerness with which
Aunt Letltla questioned the scandal
monger for more details.
He heard Rose’s spirited defense of
hlmaelf, but this did not suffice to sus
tain the good resolutions which he had
made that morning, and leaving the
house by a aid* entrance he spent the
rest of the afternoon and the early
part of the evening In the usual way,
making liquor hla boon companion.
Then he returned home.
It was past 10 o’clbck when he pre-
aented himself In the drawing room,
and one glance Into her brother's flush
ed face told Rose plainly enough that
he had been drinking.
Rose with difficulty restrained an
outburst of humiliated tears aa she
looked at her brother.
"So. that Prosaer woman was here
with her budget of cursed gossip!" Ba
sil said, thickly. "The next time she
ventures to Redbrow she’d better look
out for squalls. If I’m In the Imme
diate vicinity I'll give her a piece of
my mind that will send her rattling
down the avenue far more rapidly than
she'll make the ascent, I promise her!”
“That woman must talk or die, Ba
sil; don't notice her. Every one un-
derstandr that she la that kind of per
son, and It doesn’t much matter, there
fore. what ahe aaya,” Mias Letltla has
tened to explain In vaguely soothing
terms. ,
But Basil only muttered something In
reply and then lurched out of the room
and staggered up stairs to hla bed
room. —
'"Oh, Aunt Letty, this Is terrible!"
Door Rose said, bursting Into (gars at
ast. "If Basil continue, like this It
will kill me!”
“Hush, child; hush, darling.” Miss
Letltla replied, with a break In her
voice. "Roall must have heard aome
of that woman’s conversation this aft
ernoon and he was so upset by It that
—that he drank a little too much. He’ll
be hlmaelf again tomorrow, Rose, and
he may never again so forget himself."
But In thla hopeful prognostication
Mlaa Letltla was sadly at fault. Dur
ing the ensuing week Basil Thuraton
went, day after day, to Cleveland, re
turning sometimes at midnight tp Red-
brow, and once or twice not appearing
until 2 to 3 In the morning, and always
hopelessly under the Influence of drink
"The curse of the Thuraton, and the
cause of all this trouble!” Mlaa Letltla
muttered once or twice, as from the
bed room window ahe beheld her grand
nephew's unsteady figure approaching
the front door at these unearthly hours.
"How Is this to end 7 I am bewildered,
because advice of any kind seems so
utterly useless; and any Interference
would only make things far worse, I
think.”
And one aftemoqp at the close of
September matters reached a crisis.
Basil hail gone across the meadows and
had thrown hlmaelf upon a knoll In a
wild, solitary spot about midway be
tween Redbrow and Moorcombe. With
hla cap pulled down over his bloodshot
eye,-he had fallen Into a gloomy rev
erie, when he was suddenly aroused by
the sound of footstepa quite close to
him and the next moment Sylvia's voice
fell directly upon his ears.
Muslltr's Wooing.
Don’t press me for an answer now.
Dr. Mueller, pray don’t! Tomorrow,
perhaps, or next day, I will give you
my reply. And now, good-by. for the
present. I must ask you to leave me
to myself. I want to think over every,
thing, and—and I really must be alone."
Basil Thuraton, peering around the
corner of the ridge, saw hla cousin and
Carl Mueller within twenty yards of
him, and aa Sylvia spoke ahe turned
away rapidly from Mueller, who said
something In so low a voice that Basil
could not catch the word,.
Another moment and Sylvia had
pasied out of sight behind the ridge,
and waiting for a few minutes until
Mueller had also disappeared In the op.
poaite direction. Basil started up with
an unsteady lurch and followed his
cousin, whose retreating figure became
visible to him when he had advanced
beyond the barrier.
"Sylvia, I want you. You muat wait
for a moment,” he called to her, as he
drew near. "I’ve been on the lookout
for you all the afternoon and I cannot
let thla chance escape."
Sylvia started and looked around, and
i her eyes fell upon Basil's flushed,
excited face ahe recoiled a little, with
faint cry of alarm.
"I cannot watt now, Basil! Some
other time you can see me. I really
muat go thla moment,” she said, nerv
ously. for she saw at once that he was
undkr the Influence of drink.

Accepted.
Godfrey Thurston ran Into his wife's
room, while that good lady was putting
on a fresh blouse foridlnner that night
in a-state of high excitement and
triumph.
"It Is all right, Mildred, about Muel-
ler and tho. girl I I’ve Just been talking
to him. I met him ns I was riding
home. Sylvia has accepted his ..ffer
this very afternoon—but perhaps you
know about It already."
"Do you tell me so. Godfrey!"
Mrs. Thurston, with the lace blouse
flapping open and two pins stuck at
the corner of her mouth, turned from
the looking glass ahd stared Incredu
lously, yet delightedly, Into her hus
band's face.

never mentioned the mntter. She
complained of a headache, however
and I fancied, from the look of her
eyes, that she had been crying. But
when I questioned her she said it was
the sharp wind—or something like
that."
^Crying? Why should she cry over
It, I'd like to know," the Judge said,
busy with lace, pins, ribbons and
strings. "She’s the luckiest girl in
Ohio at the present moment, so she K
Although Carl Mueller has lived io
quietly since he catne to our neigh
borhood, there’s no doubt at all of the
fact that he's a wealthy man,
"Why, his property In New York
state Is one of the finest estates in
the east. Sylvia will be i. rich woman,
Mildred, and npart from that alto
gether," the Judge ended, "I think
Mueller a particularly nice fellow—a
kind of a fellow that any girl should
admire."
I think the same, Godfrey. I must
say, But. unfortunately, Sylvia always
seemed to like Basil Thurston just a
little bit too well for her peace of
mind. I am sorry now that we ever
allowed her to be so much with Basil,
even years and years ago.”
"But I never even dreamed of looking
on the matter in that way. Mildred,''
the Judge said, truthfully. "I used to
think It Just aa natural for Sylvia to be
In Basil's company as In Raymond's."
"Well, there it Is, yon see.! Wo were
both mistaken. However, IJ cannot be
helped now. An(l, Iji hny.'imse, It does
not perhaps matter So’ much, If SylvW
has actually accepted Dr. Mueller."
"Sylvln knows her own mind better
than we can know It, Mildred. And she
has of her own free will promised to
marry Mueller. He’s greatly delighted
over It, Mildred, and he seems very
desirous of hurrying on the marriage.
In fact, he spoke of trying to arrange
It with Sylvia for some lime during
next month."
"Next month! Good gracious. God
frey, how could ahe possibly be ready
so soon?”
