Fairfax had not appeared, and both girls
knew they would not see him. No reference
was made to him in the least.
The boat came for its last load. In silence
they stepped into it, even little Dolores
making no remark. Max seemed to feel
that lip was leaving his master and home.
In a forlorn manner he took his stand in the
bow. ‘ •
As the boat loft the shore a dejected
looking figure quitted Gicn Gore cottage
and slowly walked to the shore, From the

rock a stem, sad pair of eyes observed the

boat’s progress toward the yacht; watched
its party go on board; saw the water boil
when the screw began to revolve, and
viewed the yacht swing slowly around
and v with .increasing speed, move toward
the open sea. .
The sunset was magnificent and the sky,
toward the west, one mass of hashing rod
and gold-gorgeous beyond description. It
lighted the tops of old Green and Newport
mountains, whose vast masses of stone cut
oft' the rays of the ruby light from the shores
of Cromwell’s Harher.
The yacht fsuddejily came into the full
glory pf the dying sun. Fairfax had un
consciously emerged from bis shelter, and
now stood upon the rocks in open view, his
hands clasped behind him and his chin
sunk down upon his breast, gazing mourn
fully after the fast-receding vessel, upon
whose stern lie could distinguish three fig
ures looking silently toward the vanishing
coast—one that of a child. The others were
plainly Natalie and Lydia.
One of them moved toward the cabin, but,
ere entering, turned, as by a sudden uncon
trollable impulse, and waved her handker
chief toward Fairfax, disappearing quickly
down the passage-way.
Who was it? He could not distinguish.
IJe could only conjecture.
Twilight rapidly descended and darkness
began to cover the land. The air grew
damp and chill, and the rising wind whistled
dismally through the pines. One by one the
lamps in the lighthouses were lit. The yacht
was speedily becoming a black, shapeless
figure against the horizon, and her lights
twinkled feebly over the rolling waters.
With lightning rapidity, the past was re
viewing itself through Fairfax’s mind.
What had been done? And what had hap
pened ?
Almost at this very hour, scarcely more
than a month ago, he had seen Natalie for
the first time in his life.
What had occurred in that period?
Nearly a life-time’s history.
And! what was the end?
His hopes, as a lover, were ruined. His
future.- still covered with the mists of un
certainty that hung over it more heavily
than ever. He was still poor. He owed an *
enormous sum. This sum he felt it his
sacred duty to repay. And he must again
return to his lowly and despised duties.
“ And I am the man to do it.” said he to
himself. “ I have learned one thing - never
again to take the reins of fate in hand. If
it is yet to be, it will be, and nothing I can
do will change it. If it is not to be, I rest
content to know that I was once loved by
her.”
CHAPTER XXVIII.
“MU. FAIRFAX, I BELIEVE!”
The sun had sunk below the horizon; the
sky became darkened, and the lights of the
“Namovna” more and more dim. Fairfax
roused himself from his reverie, gave one
last look at the yacht, with a silent prayer
for her safety, and was turning back to
the world and to work, when an iron hand
was laid upon his shoulder, and a clear
voice, with a slightly foreign accent,
uttered the self-answered question:
“Mr. Fairfax, I believe?”
Naturally somewhat startled, Fairfax
looked at the face of his interlocutor. In
the darkness, he could distinguish a short,
stout man with a strong Napoleonic nose
and jaw. He knew it could be no other
than Louvait, of St. Mulo.
“Ah!” said he, quickly, “Monsieur Jean
Louvait, I’ve been expecting you. I am
delighted to see you.”
Louvait, ip his turn, was surprised. How
did this man know him? Where had he
ever seen him? Again, supposing he had
seen him, how was he aware of the pres
ence in America of the detective, Jean
Louvait, who was supposed to be at his
post in *St. Malo? His respect for the
wonderful cleverness of this Fairfax in
creased. Recovering himself, he said ab
ruptly.
“Where is the Princess Natalie?”
Fairfax made no reply, but pointed to the
scarcely visible lights of the “Namovna.”
Louvait looked and understood. With an
oath ho brought down his clenched fist
upon his thigh, and quickly turning to Fair
fax. he assumed hjp most pleasant smile and
held out his hand, saying:
-Mr. Fairfax, you are the most clever
man I ever saw. You have spoiled the
making of the finest deteetive in all Europe.
I am beaten, but respect you with a respect
I give to no other man. How did you accom
plish it?”
A little flattered by such praise from a
man himself so able, Fairfax entered into a
more pleasant humor, and putting his aim
through Louvait’s, said:
“Friend Louvait, you have not dined. A. ou
must be hungrv- Come with me and \\ c 11
talk it all over together over a bottle of wine
and cigars. To-morrow morning I leave.
We may not meet again. ’
The two, detective and detected, the one
unsuccessful, the other successful, Act de
feated, passed leisurely over the meadow
toward Glen Gore cottage.
-Vs they neared the house a tall, muscu
i;v,' figure, with long, firm stiides, came
swimdn rr down the road that wound up to
the cottage. Louvait disengaged his arm
from that of Fairfax, with the remark.
“ Stop! 1 think I see a friend coming.
Picking up the dead branch of a tree he
planted himself in the new-comers path,
shouldered the limb as he would a musket,
and assuming a bombastic attitude, called
out in mocking tones:
•• ‘Ah', who art thou that’s crossed the sea,
That dark and stormy water?
Th ‘ bird has flown, fair Natalie,
*Tis i*li in vain we’ve sought her.
“ Advance, friend, and give the counter
sign, or I'll shoot you on the spot. My very
dear, much respected and clever brother
detective, allow me to inform you that
although I have beaten you in every point,
here is a gentleman who has beaten me, and
consequently both of us.”
• “ Mr. Fairfax, allow me to present my
greatest rival, Jean Leroi.”
“ Monsieur Lqroi, you must come with us
for a bite and a glass of wine,” said Fair
fax, shaking hands with the new comer.
Arm in arm the trio, Fairfax in the cen
ter, sauntered down the avenue and en
tered the cottage, where they were duly
presented to Miss Strong.
There was a brilliant, if small party at
Glen Gore that evening.
Louvait and Leroi could assume at will
the rote of a gentleman or a peasant with
such cleverness-,that, the genuine members
of either class, could with difficulty be per
suaded that they beheld only veneering.
Each mauiOf the company was seeking to
cover up his own individual disappointments.
Each man, had risked a great deal in this
affair of the abduction. Each recognized in
the others men of unusual ability, of
extraordinary courage and determination;
and each was bent upon creating in the
others a favorable opinion as regards him
self.
That little dining-room re-echoed with
such brilliant sallies of wit, such astonish
ing anecdotes, such marvellously keen
opinions of men and matters in general, that
Miss Strong listened in pure delight and
wonder. She afterward declared that, al
though it had been her good fortune to
hear some of the brighest wits and table
talkors of the day, she had never before
listened to such a meteorically-brilliant dis
play of conversational ability.
After dinner the men lingered over
their wine and cigars. Fairfax took ad
vantage of a temporary lull in the conver
sation to say:
“Mr. Louvait, you are anxious to hear
my story. I will tell you with pleasure,
but only on one condition. First, however,
let me inform you that the Princess Natalie
Radziwill is now on her way back to Europe
under the protection of the Lady Lydia
Broadaeres.”
Louvait and Leroi both stared at this.
“She will prefer no charge whatsoever
against me. On the contrary, she and lady
Lydia both desire to keep the matter as
quiet and secret as possible. I have the
latter’s own word for it. Furthermore, no
effort will be made even to discover who
were my coadjutors in the abduction. They
will endeavor, in every way, to protect
from the law the owner of the yacht that
brought us hither—and you, gentlemen, of
course, know all about that—and also to
protect all others directly or indirectly con
nected with the affair. You see it will be
futile to attempt anything farther.
“Will you, gentlemen, give me your prom
ise that you will let the matter drop?”
For a moment there was silence. Louvait
was the first to speak.
“I will,” said he, ‘ but only upon one con
dition, as I consider it useless to pursue
the business farther. And then, again,
I'm anxious toJLearnif your story coincides
with my theory.”
“I will, also, Mr. Fairfax, and for the same
reasons,” added Leroi.
“What is your condition, Mr. Louvait?”
inquired the American
“That, if your story agrees with my
theory, of which I have a copy in my pocket
- if it agrees with my theory, you will prom
ise to write it out in full, secure the signa
tures of all participants therein and ap-

“ARE YOU ANXIOUS TO nEAR my story?”
pend your own, together with that of the
proper magistrate, in order to attest the
genuineness of the document which you
must promise to send me. Is it not justice
that I should desire to advance my reputa
tion among those of my profession
At the close of Fairfax’s recital. Louvait
vehemently struck the table with his fists
and ejaculated:
“Good! My theory to a TANARUS! The theory
that precisely one month ago I sent to the
head of the police department.”
“What!” interrupted Leroi, “you sent
your theory to Paris a month ago! I did
the same thing, but only just before I left
France.”
“Now,” said Fairfax, “I have told my
story. Let me hear yours.”
Whereupon both Louvait and Leroi nar
rated their adventures, their various haps
and mishaps. It was long after midnight
when the party broke up. Fairfax insisted
upon his guests sleeping at Glen Gore.
There was an early morning boat, upon
which, next day, Leroi and Louvait em
barked. At the wharf the coachman hand
ed each man a note, just as the steamer was
about leaving. Being interested in watch
ing the village and the bay, the two travel
ers did not open their envelopes until later
on. When they did so, each man found
therein a sum that more than compensated
him for his exertions and outlay, together
with the request that no bill of expense be
sent to the Princess’ family.
Louvait and Leroi were unprincipled men,
but had still a little sense of honor left.
Fairfax appealed to this, and with such
effect that they respected his request,
and never again made reference to the
matter.
Here it may be said, by anticipation, that,
as a result of the promised signature
bolstered document which Fairfax after
ward forwarded to Louvait and to Leroi,
both of these worthies were eventually
called to Paris and given prominent posi
tions in the police department of that great
city, where they are liable, at any day, to
have their ambitions realized.
CHAPTER XXIX.
SLEEPER, AWAKE!
Gone were the detectives. Gone was the
“Namovna” with her precious cargo. Gone,
too, Miss Strong, the aunt; even the very
housemaids, the grooms, the coachmen, each
and all were gone and, now, Fairfax was
alone once more in the deserted house, and
to-morrow he, too, would go.
The mellow softness and golden warmth
of Indian summer lay over ail the land. For
all the 1 sounds that man might make. Glen
Gore and Eld Field were still as death.
Closed were the doors and blinds and the
curtains drawn. No merry laugh, no hap-
py snatch of song, no cheery call nor loving
greeting was heard any more within those
walls. Life had fled away with Love, side
by side, and all within was dark and silent
as the tomb, save when the black fly buzzed
noisily in the window-pane, or some stray,
adventurous cricket, essaying his solitary
song in. the death-quiet room, was fright
ened again into silence by the unwonted
loudness of his own cry.
Through the lattice of one lone, open win
dow, half hidden by climbing vines, came
the soft breath of autumn, laden with fra
grance from the balsam pine, the sweet ferns
or the Indian grasses. Lazy wavelets droned
on the beach in slow and soothing rvthm;
and, far away on the hillsides, the herd-bells
tinkled faintly in silvery harmony, while an
army of chirping insects in the grass inces
santly sang their sleepy, monotonous song.
Here and there a drifting boat waved its
idle wings of white on the sea, that “great
sweet mother and lover of men,” who gave
back from her vast, slowly-heaving bosom
the deop hues of a. cloudless skv, -blue as
the bluest-vaulted dome of dreamy Italy.
Across the way stood lonely Eld-Field,
empty and still.
Gone, gone, were all those happy days!
Never more to be recalled! Gone with
the sad-eyed Princess. Gone with Dolores
and Max and Medji, far across that wide
waste of waters - “ Where ? • alas! where! ”
And Arthur Fairfax, leaning a heavy,
aching head on tired arms that rested in
the window-sill, peered vainly out into the
soft sunlight. With a sigh, he turned his
eyes back again and relapsed into sorrow
ful thought.
All things reminded him of the past—
“ Old faces glimmered thro’ the doors,
Old footsteps trod the upper floors,
Old voices called him from without.”
Bit by bit the stealthy twilight drew near,
and up from eastern waves rose a sad, pate
moon —he remembered how they sat togeth
er on the rocks only the other night, si
lently watching its silvery beams playing
over the rolling billows. Bright enough it
seemed then—but now? Was she watch
ing it, too? Would it remind her of the
past?
A tear stole down over his check and,
with a bitter sob, he hid his face in his hands
and wept. Yes! he was crying! this great,
strong fellow, whoever prided himself upon
his stoicism and ooi-f-^rmt.yni
