TODAY’S INSTALLMENT.
For reply, the other pointed to a small
room quite unoccupied which opened out
of the one in which they then stood. Mr.
Challoner bowed arid in an other moment
the door closed upon them, to the infinite
disappointment of the .men about the
hearth.
“What do you wish to ask?" was Mr.
Chailoner’s immediate inquiry
“This. I make no apologies and expect
in answer nothing more than an unequiv
ocal yes or no You tell me that you
have met my brother. Can that be said
of the other members of your family—of
your deceased daughter. In fact'.'"
"No."
"She was acquainted with Oswald
Brotherson?”
"She was. 1 '
“Without your knowledge'.'"
"Entirely so."
"Corresponded with him?"
"Not exactly."
"How. not exactly?"
"He wrote to her —occasional!' She
wrote to him frequently—but she never
sent her letters '
"Ah!"
The excxlamation was sharp, short and
conveyed little. Yet with its escape, the
whole scaffolding of this man’s hold upon
life and his own fate went down in indis
tinguishable chaos. Mt Challoner real
ized a sense of havoc, though the eyes
bent upon his countenance had not wa
vered. nor the stalwart figure moved.
"I have read some of those letters." the
inventor finally acknowledged. "The
police took great pains to place them
under my eye. supposing them to have
been meant for me because of the initials
written on the wrapper. But they were
meant for Oswald. You believe that
now?"
“1 know it."
"And that is why I found you in the
same house with him."
"It is. Providence has robbed me of my
daughter; If this brother of yours
should prove to be the man 1
am led to expect. I shall ask him tp
take that place in my heart and life which
was once iters."
A quick recoil, a smothered exclamation
on the part of the man he addressed. A
barb had been hidden in this simple state
ment which had reached some deeply-hid
den but vulnerable spot in Hrotherson's
breast, which hail never been pierced be
fore. His eye which alone seemed alive,
still rested piercingly upon that of Mr.
Challoner. but its light was fast fading,
and speedily became lost in a dimness in
which the other seemed to see extinguish
ed the last unflaring embers of those in
ner tires which feed the aspiring souF It
was a sight ,no man could see unntixed.
Mr. Challoner turned sharply away, in
dread of the abyss which the next word he
uttered might open between them.
But Orlando Brotherson possessed re
sources of strength of which, possibly, he
was not aware himself When Mr. Chal
loner. still more affected by the silence
than by the dread I have mentioned,
turned to confront him again, it was to
find bls features composed and his glance
clear lie had conquered all outward
manifestation of the mysterious emotion
which for an inatant laid his proud spirit
low.
■ You are considerate of brother,’’
were the words with which Me re-opened
this painful conversation. •'You wilb-fwt
find your confidence misplaced Oswald is
a straightforward fellow, of few faults.
“1 believe it- No man can he so uni
versally beloved without some very sub
stantial claims to regard. I am glad to
see that yotir opinion. though given
soiiM-whut c<»ldH. coincides with that of
his friends "
• | uni not given • exaggeration,” was
the even reply.
The ‘lush which had come into Mr.
Challoner’s cheek under.ttie effort he had
made to sustain with unflinching heroism
this interview with the man be looked
upon as his mortal enemy, slowly faded
out till he looked the wraith of himself
even to the unity m pathetic eyes of < »r
--lando Rrotberaon \ dut\ lax before him
which would tax to its utmost extent his
ahead’ weakened self-control Nothing
which had vet passed showed that ihi«
man realised the fa» t '' ' <>«»wald had
been kept n gn<«ranre of M ' ’ballon-r b
death. If these brothers were to meet on
the morrow it must be with the full un
derstanding that this especial topic was to
be completely avoided. But in what
words could he urge such a request upon
this man? None suggested themselves,
yet he had promised Miss Scott that he
would ensure his silence in this regard,
and it was with this difficulty and no
other he had been struggling when Mr.
Brotherson came upon him 1n the other
room.
‘‘You have still something to say." sug
gested rhe latter, as an oppressive silence
swallowed up that icy sentence 1 have
already recorded.
“I have.” returned Mr. Challoner. re
gaining his courage under the exigencies
of the moment. "Miss Scott is very anx
ious to have yur promise that you will
avoid all disagreeable topics with your
brother till the doctor pronounces him
strong enough to meet the trouble which
awaits him.”
“You mean ”
“He is not as unhappy as we. He
knows nothing of the affliction which has
befallen him. He was taken ill—” The
rest was almost inaudible.
But Orlando Brotherson had no diffi
culty in understanding him. and for the
second time in this extraordinary inter
view. he gave evidences of agitation and
of a mind shaken from its equipoise. But
only for an instant. He did not shun
the other's gaze or even maintain more
than a momentary silence. Indeed, he
found strength to smile, in a curious,
sardonic way, as he said:
“Do you think I should be apt to
i broach this subject with any one. let
i alone with him, whose connection with it
f shall need days to realize? I'm not so
1 given to gossip. Besides, he and 1 have
other topics of interest. 1 have no in
vention reads with which I propose to
experiment in a place he has already pre
pared for me. We can talk about that.”
The irony, the hardy self-posession with
which this was said struck Mr. Challoner
to the heart. Without a word he wheeled
about towards the door. Without a word.
Brotherson stood, watching him go till be
saw his hand fall on the knob when he
quietly prevented his exit by saying:
"Vnhappy truths can not be l»»ng con
cealed. How soon does the doctor think
my brother can bear these inevitable rev
elations?”
“He said this morning that if his pa
tient were as well tomorrow as his pres
ent condition gives promise of, he might
be told in another week “
Qrlando bowed his appreciation of this
tact, but added quickly.
“Who Is to do the telling?"
“Doris Nobody else could be trusted
with so delicate a task.”
“I wish to be present."
Mr. Challoner loked up. surprised at the
feeling with which this request was
charged.
"As his brother his only remaining
relative. 1 have that right. Do you think
that Dor—that Miss Scott, cat) be trusted
not to forestall that moment by any
previous hint of what awaitA him?”
“If she so promises But will you ex
act this from her? It surely can not be
necessary for me to say that your pres
ence will add infinitely to the difficulty of
her task.”
Yet it is a dut\ I can not shirk I
will consult the doctor about it. I will
make him see that both understand and
shall insist upon my rights in this matter.
But you may tell Miss Doris that I will
sit out of sight, and that I shall not ob
trude myself unless my name is brought
up in an undesirable way.”
The hand on the doorknob made a sud
den movement.
"Mr. Brotherson. I can bear no more
tonight. With your permission, 1 will
leave this question iu be settled liy oth
i era.' And with a repetition of Ulm furtntt
buw, the bereaved father withdrew

closed, then he f dropped his musk
But it was on again, when in aHit llh

He had been allowed a short interview
with Oswald, and he had indulged him

left those memories behind with other and
more serious matters. Nothing that could

Not so happy were the ofhMr ficeracteis

blow he might have risen above it after
a while and been ready to encounter life
again. But this long drawn out misery
was proving too much for him. The sight

it was not till six days had passed and
the dreaded Sunday was at hand, that he
