When Sylvia and Raymond return home, Raymond Undo n mysterious letter on his dresser. After the faintly retires, he gets out Into the stormy night to keep an engagement demnnded In the letter. CHAPTER XLI. A Night of Terror. When Sylvia reached her bedroom she found Ruth Pritchard awaiting her. The girl'looked paler than usual, and the expression of her face re newed the misgivings which Sylvia had already felt that day. “Ruth, dear, I shall not wnnt you tonight; you ought to go to bed at once,” Sylvia said, kindly, "And to morrow Raymond and I Intend to call over to Dr. Peard’s and I xhall cer tainly speak to him about you and ask hint to come and see you without fur ther delay.” Ruth had already consented to this suggestion' during her talk In the painting room that day with her young mistress. • "Very well, Sylvia. It la vary good of you. The truth Is. I don't feel at all well. 1 hardly know what is the matter with me. Oh, Sylvia, Sylvia"— her. voice broke down Into a inoan— •'what should I do—If my poor mother's terrible affliction”— "Hush. Ruth, don’t say It!” Sylvia Interposed quickly: but for a moment her heart seemed to stand still. "I would rather die and have done with It, than to live on—like that!" Ruth said, with a shudder which seemed to shake her frail form from head to foot. "I don't know why, Miss Sylvia, but this whole day I have been thinking of her, nnd that drqadful fear of myself Is hanging over my head." •'You require a thorough change of some kind, Ruth, and when Dr. Peard has seen you tomorrow aud given his opinion, we must arrange, you and I, and perhaps Raymond, to run up to Cleveland for a few days. You always IIKed tha theater, and weil go every night while we’re there. And now good night, Ruth, I hope you will sleep well. Perhaps the sound of the storm will act as a lullaby." Ruth Pritchard withdrew, and Sylvia, with a heavy heart—for she was genu inely devoted to Ruth—betook herself to rest, her thoughts dwelling with a keener and keener anxiety upon Ruth's agitated words. Dear, faithful, warm-hearted friend." Ruth thought, again and again. "Heav. en forbid that such a catastrophe as that should ever come to pass.” Voice in the Night. For a long time Sylvia could not compose her mind sufficiently to go to sleep. She moved wearily from side to side of her pillow, listening vaguely to the wild, dirge of the storm, which formed a fitting accompaniment now to her saddened and agitated thoughts. At last she dosed away Into a light, restless Humber, and, as If In a dream —although It seemed to her to be far more of a reality than a dream—she suddenly heard a low voice close to her ear—Raymond's voice—and the words: "Sylvia! Sylvia! Sylvia!" repeated In a broken, gasping whisper. She started up In fright, nnd still In that dreamlike way she thought she saw Raymond's face In the shadows, his eyes gazing Into hers with such a look of anguish In them as she had never seen In those loved eyes before. Then the vision, or reality, was gone, the whisper died away Id to silence, and only the, darkness of the room and the sorrowful fluctuations of the now sub siding tempest were left. But for Sylvia there was no more steep that night. Until morning dawn ed she lay wide awake, with throbbing temples and a strange, formless fear at her heart. Up at the lone house of Redbrow that night there was another sleepless nnd uneasy watcher In the person of Rose Thurston, whose nights of late had Indeed boen weary and anxious vigils. Basil's reckless habits during the previous weeks, and more particularly during the preceding four or five days, were n cause of unceasing alarm and suspense to his sister. It was In vain that Miss Lettlln, suppressing her own misgivings, endeavored to soothe her grnnd-nleee: Rose could not shut her eyes to the grlnt facts of the case. A Sitter's Vigil. Night after night Basil was nbsent from his home until a very late hour, and once or twice It had happened that he did not return until early In the morning, having spent the night ap parently out under the open sky, tossed In a drunken stupor by the roadside, or beside the lone path In the direction of the town. "He will be found dead some night— this can not go on,” Rose often thought; and of late she found It Im possible to go to bed until Iter brother had returned. "If 1 were only equal to the effort, I would go every step to meet him," ioor Rose often said to herself during ,er dreary midnight vigils, os she roee now and then from her low chair, and with tho aid of a ellek walked to the windows and peered out Into the night. "Now, Rose, It Is ridiculous of you to lose your nlght'e rest again!” Miss Lelltla had said to her some hours be fore on this particular night. "I don't believe Raell will come home until morning. I should not be surprised If he went to Cleveland todny, and If so he will probably stay for the night with the Petherlcks." "No, Aunt Letty: ho surely did not go In such a careless style!" Rose had answered, with a ehlver In her voice. "He had not even a collar on when he left the house today." “He had signs of drink even then, Rose, I am sorry to say, so I hardly think the absence of a collar would have weighed very much with him If the notion struck hint to go. He must have gone to some place to get his din ner, my dear. He Is surely not fasting all this time.” For Raell had not yet returned to Redbrow since he had left home that Gfhe Georgia School of Technology Is better equipped end organized In ell departments than ever before, end prepared to do the best work In Its history. rHEE SCHOLARSHIPS In order to afford the young men of Georgia high-class technical education, the legis i free,st' * ' of this opport ecessary dvanced courses in Mechanical, Electrical, Textile, Mining, end Civil Engineering, Engl' lature has assigned flttoen i assigned fifteen free, scholarships to each county In tho state.

Mis, Let It la, having said good night to Rose In her bed room at 10 o'clock, had gone nwny to her own room, feel ing satisfied that her grand-niece had for once taken her advice In this mat ter of not watting up for Basil. But Rose had not the slightest notion of taking Mies Letltla's advice tonight. Ae she moved etowty about her room, resting heavily upon her stick, she paueed to listen at frequent Intervals, hoping to hear tha sound of footsteps ascending the creaking stair. Rut in the deafening uproar of the tempest all other sounds seemed to be swal lowed up and lost. At times a sobbing lull followed one of these tempestuous onslaughts for a minute or two. as It the exhausted forces of the gale were rallying their powers for another desperate attack, and during one of these pauses Rose at last heard a faint sound from the door, the stealthy aliening of a door nnd a moment or two Inter a cautious footstep ascending the stair. "It Is Basil—and, thank heaven, lie Is walking steadily," Roee whispered to her suddenly relieved henrt. "Now I can go to bed and sleep In pence.” She was somewhat surprised, nnd even a little bit alarmed, when Basil's footsteps paused on tho lobby Just out side of her door, nnd then the handle of the door was turned softly, and a moment Inter her brother cautiously entered the room. CHAPTER XLII. A Parting. "What! Not gone to bed yet. Rose!" he sold In a hoarse whisper. "Why Is this?" She could not answer him. The words refused to come. She could only stare Into his face In startled si lence: for site had never before* seen hint look as he looked tonight. ills face, his very lips, were livid. His cheeks looked sunken nnd drawn; his eyes gazed upon his sister with a strange Intensity from under the knit ted browe. "You look frightened. Roee: but you have no need to be frightened," Basil said In an almost Inaudible voice. "I am not drunk tonight, not now, at least. It would be better for my own peace of mind, perhaps. If I were!" At these odd words Rose found her voice at lost. She limped nearer to Basil, and one of her trembling hands fell upon his arm. "Basil, dear, what has happened? Where have you been? I've never seen you look like this In all my life be fore." “No, I daresay you have not, and I think I con promise you. Rose, that you never will again.” His voice failed hint os he thus spoke, and he turned his face away from her os It In the effort to hide his mysterious and terrible agitation. Basil, what Is It? Oh. my God! What Is It?" she gasped, shivering. "Do not ask me to tell you now. Rose—some other time—some other WESLEYAN FEMALE ! COLLEGE, Macon, Georgia. Fir : Matriculation Oay, September 6th.

I fear, for your own peace of mind. But It can not be helped now. I have staked all and lost all, and there Is only one course to follow. I can not linger with you. Rose. I—I Just wished to look In, to see If you had gone to bed.” A Terrible Fear. She was powerless to utter a ward now. A terrible fear, wholly undefined, yet overwhelming, paralysed her; the could only Mnre mutely at him and await some explanation of hie words. "1 am glad you have not gone to bed. Rose. But promlee me to go now. And do not be surprised or startled at my movements tonight. I—the fact of It Is. Rose, t have a little business at Cleveland and I am Just about to ride my wheel over there now." "To wheel to Cleveland, Basil— night I Why, you could not possibly do so In this storm.” "The storm is abating: It will be easy enough In another half hour. 1 must go, Roee, so that ends It. I will leave a note for you—I will push It un der your door here as I am passing— Just n little message I have- for you.” he added quickly, os If with an attempt to reassure hie sister. "But why not tell me now, Basil, whatever It le?" Her limbs rocked beneath her, and she rested heavily on her stick. "Oh, I cannot delay now. 1 have a few preparations to make, and am pressed for time. Now, Rose, listen to me, pay attention to my words und say nothing." Yes, Basil, yes,” she gasped, faint ly.

His face was stern and rigid and his eyes burned with a wrathful fife. • "I have suffered a base, treacherous wrong which will be the cause of my life’s ruin. Henceforward It matters little to me what may occur—nor do I Intend to care, even to hear further de tails of the accursed story. But re member one thing. Rose, your Interests shall ever lie very close to my heart, and I shall never forget you—never!" “I Shall Never Forgotl” A wild, sobbing cry rose to her lips; but he frowned and shook his head, and she was silent. "The note I will leave you will make things clearer. But keep it to yourself. Rose—to yourself and, perhaps,' Aunt Letty. Let no outsiders be the wiser— no outsiders,” he repeated, slowly, and distinctly, his eyes fixed upon his sii' ter's Incredulous face. "Oh, Basil, you are not going away? For the love of God tell me the truth!" The distracted tone of her volci the look of her face—seemed to startle him, as If with a new fear. He com pressed his lips and steadied himself with a last effort of his faltering will. Only to Cleveland, Roee; there's no need for your agitation. When I eome back I will explain myself more fully. Now, good-night." He stooped and kissed her hurriedly, and, as If not trusting either himself or her, turned quickly and quitted the room. Rose stood where he had left her, unable to think clearly, almost unable to move. She felt dazed and helpless, like a blind person, suddenly left alone In some unfamiliar spot. In this same dazed, helpless way, she heard after about an hour had gone by tha sounds of her brother's footsteps on the lobby, their cessation for a moment outside the door, and then the rustle of paper under the door and the retreating footsteps—and alienee. Silence—save for the long drawn moan and shudder of the subsiding storm/ which sounded at her windows like the voice of a human being In dire distress. "What does It mean?” was the ques tion that repeated Itself with madden ing persistence In Roee Thurston's dazed mind. "What—what does It mean T' What, Indeed?
