THE HEART BREAKLER
Mlldred Gives Honora the Slip and Disappears With Tom Chandler On An Auto Ride.
By Virginia Terhune Van De

(Copyright, 1918, Star Company.)
ILDRED slammed the front
M door defiantly and ran up
gtars, humming A& popular
song. Honora looked after her, start

and went into the kitchen. After all,

she would gain nothing by complain.

her sister late to a meal.
“Where is Mrs. Higgins?™ Mildred
demanded, reappearing at the end of
ten minutes,
Honora noticed that the girl had
changed her office garb for an after
noon frock, and that she was wearing
her halr in a new and striking style.
. "The Bruces want us to go for a
moonlight auto ride tonight,” Honora
remarked as the pair sat lown at the
dinner table, “I accepted. Was that

“Why"—Milly hesitated; *“I sup

sank into a sllent revery. Her sister
watched her, puzzled at her demean

“Dear,” she ventured, “suppose you

“And leave you here all alone'”

body is going to break Into the house
and carry me off, For goodness sake,
Honora, don't be so absolutely ridic
ulous!”
Honora stared at her, amazed at
ber impetuonity.
“Don’'t be ridiculous yourself, Mil
ly,” she began,
“Don’'t call me 'Milly!'” the other
#napped,
“Well, whether you are Miily or
Mildred,” Honora retorted, “I'm not
going tonight unless you do. That is
cortain, What under the sun is the
matter with you? Have you another
engagement 7
“No.”
“Then"--Honora pursued the sub
jeet stubbornly-—"why don't you go
auto riding?”
“I don't fee]l anite like It,” the other
murmured awkwardly. “l-—l-—guess
I am not very well”
“Don’t go, then,” Honora advised
quickly, trying not to show her dis
appointment. “I'll fimma Arthur aft
er dinner and tell him to cail it off.
If you are not feeling well,” she add
ed, suspiciously, “why did yon take
the troubie to put on that dress and
fix your halr so elaborately?”
To thiz the other made no reply,
and the meal was finished In &
gloomy sllence. But as the two girls
rose from the table the younger spoke
impulelvely, all traces of vexation
gone from her face and manner.
“It's too bad 1 wasn't nice about the
ride, Hmmr%' ghe said. “It's been
hot and stuffy at the office all day,
and I am a bit tired. PBut If you want
to go with the Bruces I'll go, too.”
“Oh, 1 don't care,” Honora forced
herself to speak cheerfully. “If you
don’t want to go we'll stay home”
Mildred laughed nervou:li. “But

“Did you say the car's to be here at
§? I'll be ready.” |
She watched Honora carry a tray
of goiled dishes into the kitchen, but
made no move to follow her. A sec
ond later she tiptoed out into the hall.
Her sister, bending over the sink,
fancied that she heard, above the
gound of the running water, the clink
of the telephone bell, as though the
receiver had been lifted off its hook
Three minutes later Mildred entered
the kitchen. Her face was very pink
and her manner unnatural.
“Here!"” she exclaimed, pulling the
digh-towel from Honora's hands, “let
me help you! I forgot Kafie was out
and that you had to do her job.”
The work was just completed when
the bleat of a motor horn sounded.
“That must be the Bruces now!”
Mildred exclaimed, pushing her sister
from the kitchen and catching up a
cloak that she had laid on the dining
room table. “Hurry upstairs and get
ready, Honora! 11l tell them you're
coming.”
As Honora obeyed, the younger girl
gtood and watched her ascend the
stairs. Then she ran to the front
door.
In her own room, Honora had just
removed her apron and struggled into
her cloak, when she heard the front
door slam. “Why need Mildred be in
such haste to get into the car?” she
wondered. Turning out her light, ghe
paused to glance out of her window
irto the street below,
Mildred was climbing into a low
slung runabout, Honora had seen it
before and recognized it as Tom
Chardler's father's car.
“Milly:” she called, leaning from
the window; Milly!"” i

ing. § EE
““Well,”” he went o
on, after a while, ——
“you are as clever a youngster as ever
I met, and I've nothing to hide from
you. My name is Willis Featherstone,
and I am simply a vagabond, else vou
would never have seen me trudging
along the public road with only a fid
dle at my back; but I have a rich daddy
hereabouts, and I'm on my way to see
how he is getting along. Now,” he
continued, “I'll give you a riddle. llf
you ean't unriddlie it, it will unriddle
itself. A father had a son. He sent
him to school in Augusta, until he was
fifteen. By that time, the father grew
'to hate the son, and one day, in a fit
of anger, sold him to a nigger specu
\lltor.'
. ““How could that be?’ 1 asked.
~ “That is a part of the riddle,” said he.
“Are you the son?’
. “That is another part of the same
riddle.”
‘“Where was the son's mother?” 1
asked.
“In the riddle—in the riddle,” he re
plied.
I could not unriddle the riddle, but it
seemed to hint at some such villainy
as I had read about in the books in my
father's library. Here was a man who
had sold his son; that was enough for
me, It gave me matter to dream on,
and as 1 was a pretty heavy feeder in
those days, my dreams followed hard
on each other. But it isn't worth while
to relate them here, for the things that
actually happened were infinitely worse
than agy dream could be.
E - eatherstone had foretold, we
camé)ed the next night not far from the
Sandhills, where the rich people of An
gusta went every summer to escape the
heat and malaria of the city. We might
have gone on and reached Augusta dur
ing the night, but both men and mules
were tried, and of the entire caravan
only ofie wagon went forward. [ shall
remember the place as lnnf as I live. In
a little hollow, surrounded by live
oaks—we call them water-oaks v» here
—was & very bold spring, and around
and about was plenty of grass for the
' mules, It was somewhat dry, the time
being November, but it made excellent
fortage. On a little hill beyond the
spring was a dwelling house. [ came to
have a pretty good view of it after
ward, but in the twilight it seemed to be
a very substantial building. It was
painted white and had green blinds, and
lit sat in the midst of a beautiful grove
of magnolias and eedars. I remember,
too—it is all impressed on my mind =o
vividly-—that the avenue leading to the
house was lined on each side with Lom
bardy poplars, and their spindling trunks
latnod clearly out against the sky,
While 1 was helping Featherstone un
hitch and unharness the mules, he sud
;den’l'y remarked :
. ““That’s the place.”
| “What place?’ 1 asked.
| “The place the riddle tells about—
where the son was sold by his father.”
| “Well,” 1 said, by way of saying
something, “what can’'t be cured must
be endured.”
. “You are a very clever chap,” he said,
after a while. *ln fact, you are the
‘best chap I have seen for manv a long
day, and I like you. Tl've watched you
like a hawk, and 1 know you have a 2
mother at home."”
-~ “Yes,” said 1, “and she's the dearest
old mother you ever saw. I wish oyu
knew her.”
~ He came up to me, laid his hand on
miy shoulder, and looked into my face
with an air I ean never forget.
‘“That is the trouble,’ 'he said; *1
don’'t know her, If I did I would be a
better man. 1 never had much of a
mother,”
With that he turned away, and soon
I heard him singing softly to himself
as he mended a plece of the harness.

All this time Crooked-leg Jake was
cooking our supper beneath the live-oak
trees. Othher teamsters were doing the
same, so that there were two dozen
campfires burning brightly within an
area of not more than a quarter of &
mile. The weather was pleasant, too,
and the whole scene struck me as par<
ticularly lively.
Crooked-leg Jake was always free<
handed with his cooking. He went at 1t
with a zest born of his own insatiate
appetite, and it was not long before
we were through with it; and while
the other campers were fuming and
stewing over their ecooking, Jake was
sitting by the fire nodding, and Feath
erstone was {playlng his fiddle. He
never played it better than he did that
night, and he played it a lonf time,
while I sat listening. Meanwhile quite
a number of teamsters gathered around,
some reclining in the leaves smoking
their Pipu, and other stnndln* around
in various Iy")‘osith:ms. Suddenly I discov
ered that Featherstone had a new and
unexpected auditor, Just how I ais
covered this I do not know; it must
have been proned in upon me as the
niggers say. I observed that he gripepd
the neck of his fiddle a little tighter ana
suddenly he swung off from ‘Money
musk’ into on of those queer serenades
which you have heard now and again
on the plantation. Where the niggers
ever picked up such tunes the Lord
only knows but they are heart-breaking
ones,
Following the glance of Featherstone's
eves, I looked around, and I saw, stand
ing within the circle of teamsters, a
tall mulatto woman. She was a strik
ing figure as she stood there gazing
with all her eyes, and listening with all
her ears. Her hair was _black ' and
straight as that of an Indian, her
cheeks were sunken, and there was that
in her countenance that gave her a
wolfish aspect. As she stood there rub
bing her skinny hands together and
moistening her thin lips with her tonfiue
she looked like one distraught. When
Featherstone stopped playving, pretend
ing to be tuning his fiddle, the mulatto
woman (lrew a long breath, and made
an effort to smile, Her thin lips féll
apart and her white teeth gleamed in
the firelight like so many fangs. Final
ly she spoke, and it was an ungracious
gpeech:
~ “Ole Giles Featherstone, up yonder—
he's my marster—he sont me down here
an’ tole me to tell you-all dat, bein’ he
got some vittles lef” over sum dinner,
he'll be glad es some un yor would come
take supper 'long wid 'im. But, genter
‘mens’’—here she lowered her voice, giv
ing it a most tragic tone—‘‘you better
not go, kaze he ain’t got nothin' up dar
dat's fittin’ ter eat-—some cole scraps
an’ de frame uv a turkey. He mrlm{‘)u
hisse’'f, an’ he serimps me, an’ he
serimps ev'ybody on de place, an he'll
‘serimp you-all es you go dar. No, gen
termens, es vou des got cornbread an’
‘bacon you better stay 'way.”
