(Copyright, 1911, by Dodd. Mead & Co.) 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 Orlando’ watched him till the door closed, then he f dropped his musk But it was on again, when in aHit llh whilb he paged through the sitting room on his waj upstairs.

But he had left those memories behind with other and more serious matters. Nothing that could unnerve his hand or weaken his; insight should enter this spot sacred to his great hope. Here genius reigned.' Here he was himself wholly and without a flaw— a Titan with his grasp on a mechanical Idea by means of which he would soon rule the world. .5 n ; Not so happy were the ofhMr ficeracteis in this drama. Oswald's thoughts, dis turbed for a short time by the somewhat constrained interview he had held with his brother, hail flown eastward again, in silent love and longing; while Doris, with a double dread now in her heart, went about her daily tasks, praying for strength to endure the horrors of this week, with out betraying the anxieties secretly de vouring her. And she was only 17 and quite alone in her trouble. She must bear it al! unassisted and smile, which she did with heavenly sweetness when the magic threshold was passed and she stood in her invalid’s presence, overshadowed though it ever was by the great Dread .And Mr. Challoner?

But this long drawn out misery was proving too much for him. The sight of Brotherson. ihough they never really met, acted like acid upon a wounti, and it was not till six days had passed and the dreaded Sunday was at hand, that he slept with any sense of restor went his w'ay about the town without that halting at the corners which betrayed his per petual apprehension of a most undesir able encounter. The reason for this change will be ap parent in the short conversation he b.eld with a man he had come upon one even ing in the small park just - beyond fhd workmen’s dwellings. “You see ! am here, was the strang ers low greeting. “Thaiik God.” was Mr. Challoner’s re* ply. “I could not have faced tomorrow alone and 1 doubt if Miss Scott could have found the requisite courage. Does she know that you are here?” “I stopped at her door. ’ “Was that safe?" “I think so. Mr. Brotherson the Brooklyn one—is up in his shod. lie sleeps there now, I am told, and soundly, too.
