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 and in an other moment
the door closed- upon them, to the infinite
disappointment of the men about the
hearth.
"What do you wisli to ask?" was Mr.
Chailoner’s immediate inquiry.
"This 1 make no apologies, and expect
in answer nothing more titan 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?"
"She was acquainted* with Oswald
Brotherson?”
"She was."
"Without your knowledge ' '
"Entirely so."
"Corresponded with him?"
"Not exactly."
"How. not exactly?"
“He wrote to her occasionally. She
t wrote to him frequently- but she never
| sent her letters.”
“Ahl”
The excxlamatlon was sharp, short and
conveyed little. Yet with its escape, the
i whole scaffolding of this man's hold upon
I life and his own fate went down In indis
i tinguishahle chaos Mr. Challoner real
ized a sense of havoc, though the eyes
j bent upon his countenance, had not wa
i vered. nor the stalwart figure moved.
I "I have read some of those letters,” the
i Inventor finally acknowledged. "The
! police took great pains to place them
tinder my eye. supposing them to have
been meant for me because of the initials
written on the wrapper. But they wera
meant for Oswald. You believe that
now-?”
"I know it."
“And that is why 1 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, 1 shall ask him to
take that place in my heart and life which
was once hers.”
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 Brotherson's
breast, which had 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 fires which feed the aspiring soul. It
was a sight no man could see unmixed.
Mr. Challoner turned sharply awgy, in
drbad 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 Itlpi again, it was to
find his features composed and his glance
cleat lie had conquered all outward
manifestation of the mysterious emotion
which for an Instant laid his proud spirit
low .
"You are considerate of my brother."
were the words with which kte re-opened
this painful conversation. "You will not
find your confidence misplaced Oswald Is
a straightforward fellow, of few faults.
“1 believe it No man can be so uni
versally beloved without some Very sub
stantial claims to regard. I am glad to
see that your qpinion. though given
somewhat coldl). coincides with that of
his friends."

the even repl'

upon as his mortal slowly faded

I even to the unsympathetic eyes of Or

I been kept in ignorance of M ■ ''halloner's
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 hi this regard,
and it was with this difficulty and no
other he had been struggling when Mr.
Brotherson came upon him In the other
room.
"You have stilt something to say." sug
gested the latter, as an oppressive silence
swallowed up that icy sentence I have
already recorded.
"I iiave,” 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
know-s 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
broach this subject with any one, let.
alone with him, whose connection w’ith it
I shall need days to realizg? I'm not so
given to gossip. Besides, he and 1 have
other topics of interest. I have no in
vention ready 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 he
saw his hand fall on the knob w’hen he
quietly prevented his exit by sajfing:
"Unhappy truths can not be. long con
cealed. How soon does the doctor think
my brother can bear these Inevitable rev
elations?"
“He said this mqrning that if his pa
tient were as well tomorrow as his pres
ent condition gives promise of, he might
be told in another week."
Orlando bowed his appreciation of this
fact, 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 (mother- Ills only remaining
relative. 1 have that right. Do you think
that Dor- that Miss Scott, can be trusted
not to forestall that moment by any
previous hint of what awaits 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 duty I can not shirk. I
will consult the doctor about it. I will
make him see that both understand ami
shall insist upon my rights,in this matter.
But you may tell Miss Doris that I will
sit out of syglit. and that 1 shall nog ob
trude mystwf unless my name is brought
up In an undesirable way."
The hand on the doorknob made a sud- i
den movement.
"Mr. Brotherson. I can bear no more
tonight With your permission. I will |
leave this question to be settled by oth- j
ers." And with a repetition of his former
bow. the bereaved father withdrew.
Orlando watched him till the door
closed, then he too dropped his mask
But It was on again, when in a llttli
