The Heart Breaker
A LOVE STORY OF TODAY
By Virginia Terhune Van De
Water.
9% CHAPTER XVIIL
(Copyright, 1918, Star Company.)
ILDRED slammed the front
M door defiantly and ran up
stars, humming a popular
song. Honora looked after her, start
&l to speak, then thought better of it
and went into the kitechen, After all,
she reflected, as she took the dinner
from Ythe oven and put it on the table,
she would gain nothing by complain
ing because Tom Chandier had made
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 hair in a new and striking style.
“The Bruces want us to go for a
moonlight auto ride tonight,” Honora
remarked as the pair =at down at the
dinner table, “I accepted. Was that
right ?
“Why"—Milly hesitated: ‘I sup
pose so—yes."”
Bhe asked no further questions, and
sank Into a s=llent revery, Her sister
watched her, puzzled at her demean
or. At last Mildred made a sugges
tion,
“Dear,” she ventured, “suppose vou
go alone with the Bruces tonight, and
eount me out of the party.”
“And leave you here all alone!”
Honora exclaimed. “I will do nothing
of the sort.” N
- Mildred flushed and frowned Impa
tiently.
"I really think,” she broke forth,
"that I might be conaldered old
enough to look out for myself! No
body Is going to break into the house
and carry me off. For goodneas sake,
Honora, don’t be so absolutely ridie
ulous!”
~ Honora stared at her, amazed at
her impetuosity.
*“Don't be ridiculous yourself, Mil
-Iy," she began.
-~ “Don’t call me ‘Milly!"” the other
h:god.
: ell, whether you are Milly or
{MM Honora retorted, “I'm not
ing tonight unless you do. That is
gertain. What under the sun is the
rtter with you? Have you another
wngagement ©"’
% "No‘"
“Then"” —Honora pursued the sub-
P'. stubbornly—“why don't you go
uto riding ?”
. " don't feel quite ke it,” the other
murmured awkwardly, “I--1-—-guess
4 am not very well."”
“Don't go, then” Honora advised
#uickly, trying not to show her dis
appointment. “T'll phone Arthur aft
r dinner and tell him to cail it off.
Al you are not feeling well,” she add
&d, suspiciously, “why did you take
e trouble to put on that dress and
fix your hair so elahorately””
To this the other made no reply,
and the meal was finished in a
gloomy silence. But as the two girls
rose from the table the younger gpoke
fmpulsively, all traces of vexation
gone from her face and manner.

rige, Honora," she said, ‘“lt's been
hot and eluffy at the office all day,
and | arm a bit tired. But 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 nervously. “But
now that I come to think of it,” she
declared, “1 belleve that | would like
the ride. It may do me good.”
“IMA you say the car's to be here at
§7 I'll be ready.”
She watched Honora carry a tray
of soiled dighes 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
sound of the running water, the clink
of the telephone bell, as though the
receiver had heen 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
dish-towe! from Honora's hands, “let
me help you! 1 forgot Katie was out
and that you had to do her job"”
The work was just completed when
the hleat of 4 motor hern sounded.
“That must be the FBruces now!”
Mildred exclaimed, pushing her sister
from the kitchen and eatching up a
clonk that she had laid on the dining
room table. “Hurry upstairs and get
ready, Honora! [l'll tell them you're
coming.”
As Honora obeyed, the younger girl
stood and watched her ascend the
gtairs. 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 glam. “Why need Mildred be in
such haste to get Into the ecar?’ she
wondered. Turning out her light, she
paused to glance out of her window
into the street below.
Mildred was climbing into a low
slung runaboul. Honora had seen it
before and recognized It as Tom
Chandler's father's car.
“Milly;” she called, leaning from
the window; Miliy!”

“Well,”” he went Mx,nwa
on, after a while,
“you are as clever a ynungtfl' AS ever
1 met, and T've nothing hide from
you. My name is Willis Featherstone,
and I am simply a vagabond, else you
would never have aseen 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. If
you ean’'t unriddle it, it will unriddle
itself. A father had a son. FHe sent
him to schoo! 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
lator.”
‘“How could that be?’ [ asked.
“That is a part of the riddle,” sald he.
“Are you the son?" '
‘“That is another part of the same
riddle.”
‘““Where was the son's mother?” 1
asked.
“In the riddie-—-in the riddle,” he re
plied
I could not unriddle the riddie, but it
seemed to hint at some such villainy
as | had read about in the books in my
father's library. Herc was a man who
had sold his son; that was enough for
me, It gave me matter to dream on,
and as | was a pretty heavy feeder in
those davs, 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 any dream could be.
As Featherstone had foretold, we
camped the next night not far from the
Sandhills, where the rich people of Au
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 one wagon went forward. [ shall
remember the place as )orr'\z as 1 live. In
a little hollow, surrounded by live
oaks--we call them water-oaks - here
~—~was a very bold spring, and around
and about was plenty of rua for the
mules. It was somewhat S. the time
being November, but it made excellent
forage. On a little hill beyond the
spring was a dwelling housge, [ came to
have a pretty good view of it after
ward, but in the twilight it seemed to be
a very lgb-mntial building. It was
painted white and had green blinds, and
it sat in the midst of a beautiful grove
of magnolias and cedars. I remember,
too--it is all impressed on my mind so
vividly--that the avenue |ާ.dlߴ to the
house was lined on each side with Lom
bardy poplars, and their lplnd"ni trunks
stood clearly out against the sky.
While 1 was helping Featherstone un
hitch and unharness the mules, he sud
den)ry remarked:
“That’'s the place.”
“What place?’ T 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. - “In fact, you are the
hest chap I have seen for many a long
day, and I like vou. I've watched you
like a hawk, and 1 know you have a
mother at home.”’
“Yes,'" saild I, “and she's the dearest
old mother you ever saw. [ wish oyu
knew her.”
He came up to me, laid his hand on
my shoulder, and looked into my face
with an air 1 can never forget,
“That is the trouble,’ ‘'he said; ‘1
don’t know her. If I did I would be a
better man. [ never had much of a
mother."”
With that he turned away, and soon
I heard him singing softly to himself
as he mended a piece of the harness.
All this time Crooked-leg Jake was
cooking our supper beneath the live-oak
trees. Othher teamsters were doine the
same, so that there were two dozen
campfires burning brightly within an
area of not more than a quarter of a
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 it
with a zest born of his cwn insatiate
appetite, and it was not long before
we were through wyith it: and while
the other campers were fuming and
stewing over their cooking, Jake was
sitting by the fire nodding, and Feath
erstone was playing ghis fiddle. He
never played it better \han he did that
night, and he played it a long time
while I sat listening. Meanwhile quite
a number of teamsters gathered around,
some reclining in the leaves smoking
their pipes, and other attmdinfi around
in various Fosllinns, Suddenly 1 discov -

unexpected auditor, Just how I dais
covereql this I do not know; it must
have heen proned in upon me as the
niggers say. I observed that he fripopd
the neck of his tiddle a little tighter ana
mddenlf he .wunf‘ off from “Money
musk’ into on of those queerzerenados
which you have heard now d&nd again
on the plantation. Where the niggers
ever picked up such tunes the Lord
o:ly knows but they are heart-breaking
ones,
F‘ollowlng the glance of Featherstone's
eyes, | looked around, and I saw, stand
tnf 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 Ilnteninfi with all
her ears. Her hair was black and
ltral{m 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
blnr her skinny hands together and
ltenh;g her thin lips with her tongue
she look like one distraught. When
Featherstone stopped glayins. pretend
ing to be tuning his fiddie, the mulatto
woman drew a long breath, and made
an effort to smile. Her thin lips rell
afimrt and her white teeth gléamed in
the firelight like so many fangs. Final
ly she spoke, and it was an ungracious
speech: ;
“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,
e'll be glad es some un yo- 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 serimps
hisse'f, an’' _he scrimps me, an’ he
scrimps ev'ybody on de place, an he'll
serimp you-all es yvou go dar. No, gen
termens, es you des got cornbread an’
bacon you better stay 'way.”
