THE GEORGIAN’S MAGAZINE PAGE “Initials Only” * By Anna Katherine Grene A Thrilling Mystery Story of Modern Times (Copyright, 1911, Street & Smith.) (Copyright, 1911, by Dodd, Mead * Co.) TODAY’S INSTALLMENT. "Then I'm rult to see him tonight?" "I pray you to wait. He’s—he's been e very sick man.” "Dangerously so?” ■ Yes.” orlando continued to regard her with a peculiar awakening gaze, showing, Mr. iTialloner thought, more interest in her than in his brother, and when he spoke it was mechanically and as if in sole Obedience to the proprieties of the occa sion. "I did not know he was ill till very lately His last letter was a cheerful one, and I supposed that all was right till chance revealed the truth. 1 came on at once I was Intending to come, anyway, i have business here, as you probably Know, Mies Scott.” She shook her head “I know very lit tle nbout business.” said she. My brother has not told you why he expected me?” He has not even told me that he ex pected you.” ■No'” The word was highly ex pressive. There was surprise In It and n touch of wonder, but, more than all. satisfaction. “Oswald was always close mouthed.” he declared. “It's a good fault. I'm obliged to the boy.” These last words were uttered with a lightness which imposed upon his two highly agitated hearers, causing Mr. Chal loner to frown and Doris to shrink back In indignation at the man who could in dulge tn a sportive suggestion in presence rs «uoh fears, if not of such memories as the situation evoked But to one who Imeu the strong and self-contained man -to Sweetwafer possibly, had he been present there was in this very attempt In his quiet manner and In the strange and fitful flash of his ordinarily quick eye. that which showed he was laboring and had been laboring almost from hfs first entrance, under an excitement of thought and feeling which tn one of his powerfully organized nature must end and that soon In an outburst of mys terious passion which would carry every thing before it. But he did not mean that 1t (should happen here. He was too ac customed to self-command to forget him self In this presence. He would hold these rampant dogs In leash till the hour of solitude: then —a glittering smile twist ed his lips as he continued to gaze. first at the girl who had just entered his life, and then at the man he had every rea son to distrust, and with that firm re straint upon himself still In full force, remarked, with a courteous Inclination: "The hour is late for further conver sation I have a room at the hotel and will return to it at once. In the morn ing 1 hope to see my brother.” He wae going, Doris not knowing what to say. Mr. Chailoner not desirous of detaining him, when there came the sound of a little tinkle from the other side of the hall, blanching the young girl's cheeka and causing Orlando Broth erson’s brows to rise In peculiar satis faction. "My brother?” he asked "Yes." oame in faltering reply "He has beard our voices. T must go to him.” “Say that Orlando wishes him a good night," smiled her heart's enemy, with a how of Infinite grace. She shuddered, and was hastening from the room, when her glance chanced t» fall on Mr. Challoner He was pals and looked greatly disturbed The prospect of being left alone with a man whom she had herself denounced to him as bls daughter’s murderer, might prove a tax to his strength to which she had no right to subject Mm. Pausing with an appealing air, she made him a slight gest ure which he at once understood. ”1 will accompanj' you Into the hall,” SOT© INVALID OF KENTUCKY After Regaining Her Health, Makes Few Interesting Statements For Publication t <*Wsb, ItwadM." antni MX.

'You can hear her from here if she chooses to speak There’s a point to be settled between us before either of us leaves this house, and this opportunity is as good as another. Go to my brother. Miss Scott: wo will await your return." A flash from the proud banker’s eye: but no demur, rather a gesture of consent. Doris, with a look of deep anxiety, sped away, and the two men stood face Io face. It was one of those moments which men recognize as memorable. What had the one to say or the other to hear, worthy of this preamble and the more than doubtful relation in which they stood each to each? Mr. Challoner had . more time than he expected in which to wonder and gird himself for whatever 1 suffering or shock awaited him. For. Or- I lando Brotherson. unlike his usual self kept him waiting while he collected his I own wits, which, strange to say. seemed to have vanished with the girl. But the uestion finally came. Mr Challoner. do you know my broth er?” , "I have never seen him.” "Do you know him'.' Does he know you?" “Not at all. We are strangers.” It was said honestly. They did not know each other. Mr. Chailoner was quite correct in his statement. Hut the other had ills doubts. Why shouldn’t he have? The coincidence of finding this mourner If not avenger of Edith Challoner, in his own direct radius again, at a spot so distant, so obscure and so disconnected with any apparent business reason, was certainly startling enough unless the tie could be found in h s brother's name and close relationship to himself. He, therefore, allowed himself to press the question' "Men sometimes correspond who do not know each other. You knew that a Brotherson lived here?” “Yes.” "And hoped to learn something about me—" “No: my interest was solely with your brother.” “With my brother? With Oswald? What interest can you have in him apart from me? Oswald Is—' Suddenly a thought came—an unimagin able one; one with (lower to blanch even his hardy cheek and shake a soul un assailable by all small emotions. 'Oswald Brotherson!” he repeated; add ing In unintelligible tones to himself— “O. B. The same initials! They are fol lowing up these Initials. Poor Oswald.” Then aloud: “It hardly becomes me, per haps, to question your motives in this attempt at making my brother's acquaint ance. I think I can guess them: but your labor will be wasted. Oswald's Interests do not extend beyond this town; they hardly extend to me. We are strangers, almost. You will learn nothing from him on the subject which naturally engrosses you.” Mr. Challoner simply bowed. “I do not feel called upon." said he, "to ex plain my reasons for wishing to know your brother 1 will simply satisfy you upon a point which may well rouse your curiosity. You remember that—that my daugliter's last act was the writing of a letter to a little protege of hers. Miss Scott was that protege. In seeking her, I came upon him. Do you require me to say more on this subject? Walt till I have seen Mr. Oswald Brotherson ami then perhaps 1 can do so.” Receiving no answer to this. Mr Chal loner turned again to the man who was the object of his depest suspicions, to find him still in the daze of that unim aginable thought, battling with it. scoffing at It. succumbing to it and all without a word Mr Challoner was witho it clew to this struggle, but the might of it and the mystery of it, drove turn in extreme agitation from the room. Though proof was lacking, though proof might never come, nothing could ever alter hfs belief from this moment on that Dor’s was right in her estimate of this man's guilt, however unsubstantial her reasoning might appear How far he might have been carried by this new conviction: whether he would have left the house without seeing Doris again or exchanging another word with the man whose very presence stifled him, he had no opportunity to show, for before he had taken another step, he encount ered the hurrying figure of Doris, who was returning to her guests with an air of marked relief "He does not know that you are here." she whispered to Mr. Challoner. as she passed him. Then, as she again con fronted Orlando who hastened to dismiss his trouble at her approach, she said quite gaily. "Mr Brotherson heard your voice, and is glad to know that you're here He hade me give you this key and say that you would have found things in bettor shape if he had been in condition to superintend the removal of the boxes to the place he had prepared for you be fore he became it! I was the one to do that" she added, controlling her aversion with manifest effort. "When Mr Broth erson came to himself he asked if 1 had beard about any large boxes having ar rived at the station shipped to his name 'I said that several notices of such had come to the house At which be re quested me to gee that they wore carried at once to the strange looking shed he had had put up for him in the woods. I -thought that they were for him. and 1 eaav to the thing myself. Two or three others have come since and been taken to the same place. I think you will find nothing broken or disturbed; Mr. Broth erson's wishes are usually respected.” "That is fortunate for me.” was the courteous reply. Bift Orlando Brotherson was not him self. not at all himself as he bowed a formal adieu an-i withdrew past the . d>'»wn-up sentinel-like figure of Mr. Chal loner without a motion on hfs part or on the part of that gentleman to lighten an exit which had something in 1t of doom and dread presage.

Dear Miss Fairfax: 1 am a girl of seventeen and went with a man of twenty for seven months. Then we quit and he went with another girl for a few weeks. He has wanted to go with me since.
