THE OLD SPINET

ti3 dusk of the dim old attic under thelow brown eaves

where the panes of ormervrlndowpeer through the Ivyleaves

Where the timorous light of day on theknobs of the highboy gleams

jVith the distaff and wheel beside it silentthe spinet dreams

chords In its heart are dumb awaiting the fingers white

mat were pressed on its shining keys Inthe hush of a moonlit night

Dr that gathered the sweets of all to chimewith a voice that sung

In the stately colonial days when the spinetwas glad and young

Then it stood on the oaken floor waxedsmooth as a robins breast-

n the light of a hundred candles each Inits silver rest

rom the branches of shining sconcesthe radiance shone-

n the tapestry wrought with scenes oftimes that were not their own

And the breeze as It softly shook the foldsof the hangings rarea glimpse of an armored knight the

face of a lady fairJr a falcon perched on the wrist or crest

with a rose thrust throughThey were fleeting shadows of life that

moved as the keen winds blew

How the voice of the violin rose patheticand glad and sweet

To the music of moneymusk and the tapping of merry feet

In the joy of her youth the girl with rustleof rich brocade

With the light on her powdered hair herway through the dances made

And the lace on her bosom swayed and hercheeksas a rose grew red

At the touch of a hand on hers at wordsthat were softly said

0 demure little beautypatoh 0 smilesthat were treasured so

Have you slipped since the spinet knew youInto the Long Ago

Where are now the low laughter and talkthe blush and the downcast glance

When the spindlelegged chairs werebrought for rest from the happydance

Is It nightwind that rattles the leaveswhere twinkling the stars look through

Or a sword that has touched a spur or thejeweled clasp of a shoe

It is only a lightfoot mouse at play in theattic old

In the stead of the ancient grace are loneliness dread and cold

With the thoughts of its heart untold asleep-in the moons pale beams

With remembered delights around it silentthe spinet dreams

CHAPTER XXIXAs it happened the launch party

in which Mr Andrew Galbraith waslo be a guest had to be postponediafcer all on account of the weatherTHough there was no storm duringthe afternoon there was a goodpromise of one so Margery wentabout to ask the invited ones to savethe afternoon of the following dayfor her

While she doing this the goodresults of her mornings work amflngthe wives of the strikers culminatedfirst in a meeting of the men in LaborHall and a little later in a visit ofa deputation of the strikers to theoffice of the iron works Griswoldand Raymer were both there andwhen the trouble came to be dis-

cussed without heat and with a mu-tual disposition to give and take itwas wonderful how the difficultieswere surmounted each in its turn

The upshot of the conference wasa compromise duly acceded to by allconcerned and the following morning the hideous steam siren of theiron works announced to all and sundry within a radius of half a dozenmiles that the long strike was ended

It was characteristic of the twopartners that the relaxing of thestrain affected them in diametricallyopposite ways Eaymer flung himselfinto the work 6f the office with allthe joyous abandon of a schoolboywhose vacation has been overlongBut Grjswold took a holiday rioting-in his release from the strain andmeaning to spend the better part ofthe day alone on the lake in his cat-boat

Oddly enough he was diverted fromthis plan not once but a dozen timesduring the forenoon First he had togo with Eaymer to be present at theopening of the firms account at theFarmers and Mechanics bank Thenhe chanced to meet Griffin and whenhe would have made a mere greeting-of that was drawn aside to smoke asocial cigar with the detective in thelobby of the St James

A chat about everything in generaland nothing in particular went withthe cigar burning and it was at thevery end of it that Griswold noticed-a most astonishing change comeupon his companion a change somarked that he v thought Griffin wastaken suddenly it andsaid so

griffin shook his head in denialguess it must have been sugges-

tion he said evasively You havea very vivid way of describing thingsMax Griswold and your tellingabout that attack of tjphoid gave methe sympathetic qualms

This was what he said but it wasno more than half of the truth Itwas not the fact of the fever butsome mention of the of it thathad moved him and when Griswoldwas gone he sauntered over to theclerks desk to ask a question

You told me once awhile agothat Mr Griswold was sick here inthe house he began Was that lastspring or was it late in the winter-

I dont remember but Ill lookand see said the clerk And helooked and saw and this time gavehis questioner the correct date ofOMswolds arrival in Wahaska

Griffin moved away with his handsdeep in his pockets and his lips drawninto a thin straight line This wasthe last broken link in the chain of

evidence and Griswolds droppedword and the clerks answer hadwelded it Kenneth Griswold was theman who had robbed the Bayou bankwho had exchanged identities withJohn Gavitt on the Belle Julie whohad talked with Charlotte Farnhamand had fallen straightway in lovewith her who had disappeared in StLouis only to reappear in Wahaska12 hours later

Truly he was the man to whosefinding Griffin had given many weeksof more or less valuable time Butalas for the ends of evenhanded justice he was also the man who hadlately saved the life of one Griffin

Griswold went his way from thehotel little thinking that he hadblown the forge fire for the welding-of the broken link It was sonoon that he thought he would goto Mrs Holcombs for luncheon before going out in the Sprite Butwhen ne was fairly in sight of theHolcomb gate he was again turnedaside This time it was Dr Farnham loosing his horse at the Digbyshitching post

Youre worse than a strangersaid the good doctor you havent a busy mans excuse Get in hereand let me take you home for a biteof bread and butter Charlotte wasasking only this morning if you hadleft town

Griswold did as he was told to dothinking himself more and more apuppet of chance for that daythe house on the lake brink he wasmade very welcome notwithstanding-he had not darkened its door sincethe night of the dinner party and theriot Charlotte wassomething more was evidently gladto see him this though he made surethat some remains of the barrier hehad raised in his blundering was stillbetween them

After luncheon they all went outon the lakeside veranda and laterwhen the doctor had driven awayand Miss Gilman had gone in for hersiesta Griswold made a bold pro-posal

The afternoon is perfect MissCharlotte and the breeze has fallento a ladygale Will you trust your-self to go out with me in the Sprite

Now Charlotte could be as conventional as Miss Grierson was reckless-of the conventions but there weremany things waiting to be said toMr Kenneth Griswold and she madethe possible opportunity her excuseSo she put the conventionalities asideand said she would go

Griswold left her when she wentin to get ready and had the catboatunmoored and around at the Farnham landing when she came out andran down the lawn He handed herinto the boat and placed the cushionsfor her and when he was shovingoff the Grierson launch put ofthe Mereside pier with a gaygrouped under the red and whitestriped awning

The two craft passed within a hundred feet of each other and Griswoldlifted his hat to Margery A littlelater Charlotte took her cue fromthe incident

You asked my advice about something a few evenings ago she began Did you take it

I made a consummate fool of myself a few evenings ago was his replyDid

you she countered withsweet frigidity And then Am I totake that as an answer to my ques

tionNo My foolishness didnt go thelength of an appeal to Miss Grier

Didnt it I thought a wordor two that Edward let fall thatMiss Grierson was in some way re-

sponsible for the ending of thestrike

So she was but not at any ask-ing of mine In fact I havent seenher since that to speakto her

What did she do asked Charlotte mildly curious-

I dont know really Raymer isas dumb as an oyster on that pointAll he would tell me was that MissGrierson had found a womans wayout of the trouble and had taken it

Charlotte was silent for a timefor so long a time that the catboathad made a good offing before shespoke again And when she didspeak it was not of Miss Grierson-or of the strike it was of theweather Qff in the west a littlecloud was mounting and she pointed-it out

Does that mean more wind shequeried-

I think not said Griswold Butif it does Ill run in at once

I am afraid you I am asorry coward ctf wind ind watershe ventured after a little I usednot to be I used to have a boat ofmy own and go out in almost anyweather But since the capsizing ofthe Mysie

Were you here then asked Grismold The sinking of the steamyacht Mysie with all on board in onof the sudden summer squalls someyears before was the major tragedy-of the lake and it had had a full column in the New York papers-

I was here I saw itIt happened just a little way outfrom our pier Oh it was dreadfulshe shuddered To see them drowning and not to be able to do one lit-

tle thing to help themGriswold nodded in sympathy I

can understand Shall we go aboutThe cloud in the west which had

been no bigger than the Spritesmainsail had suddenly grown to halfthe width of the horizon and cool

little puffs of wind were comingacross tne lake

as you woulck i Von werealone she said I am not afraidwith you

in for the Wahaskan shore For afew lengths the Sprite shot aheadand then a dead calm the lull beforethe approaching storm came and satupon the face of the waters and theboat merely rose and fell with flap

sail It was too late to retreatGriswold measured the possibilities-

in a swift backward glance at thedarkened sky put the tiller intoCharlottes hands and went to doublereef the mainsail He would havescorned to do it had he been alone

was tender of Charlotte tender of her fears

When the last reefpoint was tiedhe took his place at the helm againand they waited in silence while theblack cloud climbed the skyarch andblotted out the sun Still the breezedid not come and Griswold watchedwith growing anxiety always withCharlottes fears in mind

While waited the Griersonlaunch around the southern endof the island gliding shoreward with-a curling feather of spray under itscutwater and a broad wake of foamin its track In midflight howeverthe engines were stopped and whenthey were set in motion again thelaunch was made to sweep a shorthalf circle to meet the coming stormbows on Griswold saw and shookhis head

Whoever is responsible for thatis a fool he said bluntly Andthen with sudden emphasis Holdhard and dont be afraid here itcomes

Almost as he spoke the surface ofthe lake blackened and went flat under the broomsweep of the squalland a moment later the Sprite wasburied in a smother of fierceflyingfoam The gallant little boat shookherself free in a twinkling and wasup and at it thrashing through and-over the seas which seemed to springup out of the foam reek as if bymagic Griswold took the end of thesheetline in his teeth and so had anarm for the tiller and one for Charlotte and in the thick of it the catboat shot away for the bay and safety As befitted him Griswold haileyes for nothing save the andthe straining sail and it was a littleshriek from his companion that madehim glance aside

The launch she cried Its going to capsize

had put the little vessels head to thestorm instead of running before itwhich was the better chance andnow when the waves breakingover the low bows it was too lateto take the alternative Any attemptto turn tail and run before it mustinevitably put the narrowbeamedlaunch into the trough of the seasand yet this was what the foolishsteersman was evidently trying to do

Griswold luffed a little from themere life savers instinct but he remembered his own responsibility andlet the catboat fall off again

Dont look he said shortlyThere will be another tragedy over

there in a minute or twoOh go to them Mr Griswqld

Please dont mind me she pleadedGive me the sheet to manage I

know how and Im not afraid nowHe looked into liar eyes and saw

the heroine there the heroine thathe had known was in her from thatfirst seeing of her in the farawaysouthern city It made his love forher fill his heart to bursting and atthe moment he could have met deathat her side with a smile

With that look to steady him heput the tiller down crouching withher to keep the launch in sight Butas the catboat came around tothrash sidewise through the reekand spume on her errand ofthe launch lurched to its jammedhelm swung into the trough rolledheavily once or twice and disappeared

CHAPTER XXXIt was fortunte for all concerned

that the rescue of the members ofthe launch party did not hang wholly upon the upcoming of the SpriteThe distance to be covered was notgreat but with a howling gale fairlyabeam the catboat steered like asandflat and Griswold had his handsfull to lay the course and hold to itRecalling it afterward he liked tothink that it would have been imp ssible but for Charlottes helpFor a terrorstricken moment shecrouched beside him as helplesslyfrightened as woman could beBut at the critical instant she sat upvery straight and relieved him of thetillerYou manage the sail I can steershe cried and she did it a sailorbracing herself and Basing the labor-ing catboat through seas as skillfuly as any skipper of them all

ing of the launch depended upon theheroic endeavors of these two in the

Sprite Other help at hand andnearer The launch was no morethan fairly helpless when the flagboat of the Wahaska Yacht clubrounded the southern point of theisland closereefed but driving atrailway speed before the squall Herskipper saw the accident and washappily a man for an emergencyMoreover he had a trained yachtscrew aboard ready to spring toquarters at his yelled command Soit came about that the Diana wasthe first on the scene and her crewwas picking up the shipwrecked oneswhen the Sprite up head tothe wind in the thrashing seas

Notwithstanding the Sprite hadits mission and for all the quickwork of the big sloops trained crewone life would have gone out in thesmothering billows but for the upcoming of the catboat In all thefierce excitement of the moment itwas Charlotte who kept cool and itwas she who caught a glimpse of awhite head upthrust for a momentof that and of a hand flung tograsp hopelessly at nothing In aflash she gave Griswold his cue andjammed the tiller down to utilize thelast forging rush of the catboatsmomentum The reefed sail hadspilled and would draw no more butthe quick sweep of the big ruddersufficed and Griswold leaning farover the side clutched the despairinghand just as it was disappearing

This was how it came about thatan old man whose span of years hadwellnigh bridged the little rift ofTime which lies between the twoshores of Eternity was helped tomake that rift a little wider For allhis years and the fierce struggle inthe foamsmother Andrew Galbraithwas yet conscious when Griswolddragged him over the gunwale of thecatboat and his first gaspedoutword was characteristic of the man

I I told that gandering loon ofan ingineer hed lose Mr Griersonsboat and hes done it the noo AndIs warrant she a pretty penny

tooWith the lake still lashed into furyby the squall which was now spending itself in spiteful catspaws Gris

had his hands full with theSprite and yet in all the distrac-

tion of it he saw the shadow of ain Charlottes eyes and found

time to answer it Found time forthis and for the thought whichwelled up in sudden ecstacy at thislittle lovers proof of the consanguinity of kindred souls But after thathe became the cool and intrepidsailorman again

Taking the tiller he let the catboatfall off until he could speak theyacht

Sloop ahoy he called have yougot them all

All but one was the answerblown back on the gale

All right we have that oneshouted Griswold and at the wordthe two boats shot apart each tomake its laboring way towards theWahaskan haven
