CHAPTER XV.
"A Rotten Bad Fit."
(TTllXOT rose early on Monday
il'HI morn'no nn^ w*nt for a walk
J aion? the beach. He had awak
! Lzl "*l cnoil to Mack despair, but the
sun r<ii<l the matutinal breeze elevated
his spirits considerably. Where was
Allan Ilarrowby? Gone, 1th his wed
ding little more than twenty-four hours
away, if he should not return—golden
thought. By his own act he would for
feit his claim on Jephson, and Mlnot
would bo free to—
To what? Before him In the morning
glow tlie great gray fort rose to crush
his hopes. There on those slanting
r.-impaits she had smiled at his declara.
tlon—smiled and labeled him foolish.
Well, foolish he must hare seemed.
But there was still hope. If only Allan
Ilarrowby did not return.
The first man Minot saw when he re
turned to the lobby of the Pe la Pas
was Allan Ilarrowby, his eyes tired
with travel, handing over a suit case to
'an eager black boy.
What was the use? Listlessly Minot
relinquished his last hope. He fol
lowed Ilarrowby and touched his arm.
"Good morning," he said drearily.
"You gave us all quite a turn last
nig'ut. We thought you'd taken the
advice you got ia the morning and
cleared out for good."
"Well, hardly," Ilarrowby replied.
"Come up to the room, old man. I'll ex
plain there."
"Before we go up." replied Mlnot, "I
want you to get Miss Meyrick on the
phone and tell her you've returned.
Yes - right away. You see—last night I
rather misunderstood—I thought you
weren't Allan Ilarrowby after all—and
I'm afraid I gave Miss Meyrick a
wrong impression."
"By gad—I should have told her I
was going," Ilarrowby replied. "But I
was so rattled, you know"—
He went Into a booth. His brief
talk ended, ho and Mlnot entered the
elevator. Once in his suit, Harrowby
ilrotipcd wearily into a chair.
"Confound your stupid trains. I've
been traveling for ages. Now, Mlnot,
I'll tell you what carried me off. Yes
terday afternoon I got a message from
my brother George saying he was on
his way here."
"Yes?"
"Seems he's alire and in business in
Chicago. The news excited me a bit
old boy. I pictured George rushing in
here, and the word spreading that 1
was not to be the Earl of Raybrook,
after all. I'm frightfully fond of Miss
Meyriek, and I want that wedding to
take place tomorrow. Then, too, there's
Jerhson. Understand me—Cynthia is
not marrying me for my title. I'd stake
| my life on that. But there's the fa
i ther and Aunt Mary—and considering
: the number of times the old gentlemau
has forbidden the wedding already"—
"You saw it was up to you, for
"Exactly. Bo tot toy oton soke—and
Jephson's—I boarded a train for Jack
sonville with the Idea of meeting
George's train there and coming on
here with him. I was going to ask
George not to make himself known for
a couple of days. Then 1 proposed to
tell Cynthia, and Cynthia only, of his
existence. If she objected, all very
well—but I'm sure she wouldn't And
I'm sure, too, that George would have
done what I asked—he always was a
bully chap. But—I missed him. These
confounded trains—always late. Ex
cept when you want them to be. I
dare say George la here by this time?"
"He Is," Mlnot replied. "Came a few
hours after you left. And by the way,
I arranged a meeting for him with
Trimmer and his proposition. The
proposition fled into the night It
seems he was the son of an old serv
ant of your father's—Jenkins by
name."
"Surely! Surely that was Jenkins!
I thought I'd seen the chap some
where—couldn't quite reoall. Well, at
any rate, he's out of the way. Now,
the thing to do Is to see good old
George at once"—
He went to the telephone and got
his brother's room.
"George!" A surprising note of af
fection crept Into his lordship's voice.
"George, old boy, this is Allen. I'm
waiting for you in my rooms."
"Dear old chap," said his lordship,
turning away from the telephone.
"Twenty-three years since he has seen
one of his own flesh and blood! Twen
ty-three years of wandering In this
God forsaken country—I beg your par
don, Mlnot I wonder what he'll say
to me. I wonder what George will say
after all those years."
Nervously Allan Harrowby walked
tho floor. In a moment the door open
ed, and the tall, blond Chicago man
stood in the doorway. His blue eyes
glowed. Without a word he came Into
the room and gripped the hand of his
brother, then stood gazing as if he
would never get enough.
And then George Harrowby spoke.
"Is that a ready made suit you have
on, Allan?" he said huskily.
"• WLy—wny—yes, ueorge.
"I thought so. It's a rotten bad At.
Allan. A rotten bad flt."
Thus did George narrowby greet the
first of his kin he had seen In a quar
teer of a century. Thus did he give the
lie to Action and to Trimmer, writer of
"fancy seeing you after all these
years" speeches.
lie dropped his younger brother's
hand and strode to the window. He
looked out The courtyard of the De
la Pax was strangely misty even in
the morning sunlight Then he turned,
smiling.
"I thought you'd come at me with
the title," said George Ilarrowby, drop
ping into a chair. "Don't go, Mr.
Mlnot—no secrets here. Allan, yon and
your wife must come out and see us.
Got a wife myself-fine girl—she's
from Marion, Ind. And I've got two of
the liveliest little Americans you ever
saw. Live in a little Chicago suburb
homey house, shady street, neighbors
all frenn down country way.
"You are Lord Hifrrowby, the next
Earl of Raybrook. Take the title, and
God bless you."
"But, George," Allan objected, 'legal
ly you can't"—
"Don't worry, Allan," said the man
from Chicago, "there's nothing we
can't do In America, and to' legally.
How's this? I've always been intend
ing to take out naturalization papers.
I'll do It the minute I get back to Chi
cago—And then the title Is yours. In
the meantime, when you introduce me
to your friends here, we'll Just pretend
I've taken them out already."
Allan Harrowby got up and laid his
hand affectionately on his brother's
shoulder.
"You're a brick, old boy," he said.
"You always were. I'm glad you're
to be here for the wedding. How did
you happen to come?"
"That's right—you don't know, do
you? I came in response to a telegram
from Boyd's of Now York."
"From-er-Boyd's?" asked Allan
blankly.
"Yes, Allan. That yacht you camo
down here on didn't belong to Martin
Wall, it belonged to me. He made
away with it from North river because
be happened to need it. Wall's a
crook, my boy."
"The Lileth your ship! My word!"
He explained briefly how Wall had
acquired Chain Lightning's collar and
returned a duplicate of paste ih Its
place. The eider Harrowby listened
with serious face.
"It's no doubt the collar ho was trail
ing you for, Allan," he said. "And
that's how he came to need the yacht
But when finally ho got his eager
flgers on those diamonds, poof old
Wall must have had tha shock of his
life."
"How's that?"
"It wasn't Wall who had the dupli
cate made. It was—father—years ago,
when I was still at home. He wanted
money to bet as usual—had the dupli
cate made—risked and lost"
"But," Allan objected, "he gave it
to me to give to Miss Meyrick. Surely
he wouldn't have done that"—
"How old is he now? Eighty-two?
Allan, the old boy must be a little
childish by now—he forgot I'm sure
he forgot. Thafs the only view to
take of it"
A silence fell. In a moment the elder
brother said:
"Allan, I want you to assure too
again that you're marrying because
you love the girl—and for no other
reason."
"Straight, George," Allan answered,
and looked his brother In the eye.
"Good kid. There's nothing In the
other kind of marriage—all unhappi
ness—all wrong. I was sure you must
be on the level—but you see, after Mr.
Tbacker, the insurance chap in New
York, knew who I was and that I
wouldn't take ihe title, ho told m»
about that fool policy you toWout"
"No7 Did he?"
"All about It Sort of knocked me
silly for a minute. But I remembered
the Harrowby gambling streak—and if
you love the girl and really want to
marry her, 1 can't see any harm In the
Idea. However, I hope you loso out
on the policy. Everything O. K. now?
Nothing In the way?"
"Not a thing," Lord Harrowby re
plied. "Mlnot here has been a bully
help—worked like mad to put the wed
ding through. I owe everything to
him."
The Duchess of Lismore elected to
give her dinner and dance in Miss Mey
rick's honor as near to the bright Flor
Ida stars as she could. On the top floor
of the De la Tax was a private dinim:
room, only partially Inclosed. There Id

the open the newest society dances
should rise to offend the soft southern
sky.
Being a good general, the hostess
was early on the scene, marshaling her
forces. To her there came Cynthia
Meyrick, radiant aud lovely and wide
eyed on the eve of her wedding.
"How sweet you look, Cynthia!" Bald
the duchess graciously. "But, then,
you long ago solved the problem of
what becomes you."
"I have to look as sweet as I can,"
replied the girl wearily. "All the rest
of my life I shall have to try and live
up to the nobility."
She sighed.
"To think," remarked the duchess,
busy over a great bowl of flowers,
"that tomorrow night this time little
Cynthia will be Lady ITarrowby. I
suppose you'll go to Rakedale Hall for
part of the year at least?"
"I suppose so."
"I, too, have had my Rakedale HalL
Formal, Cynthia, dear, formal. Noth
ing but silly little hunts, silly little
shoots. American men would die there.
As for American women, nothing ever
happens—the hedges bloom In neat lit
tle rows—the trees blossom—they're
bare again. Cynthia, sometimes I've
been in a state ..where I'd give ten
years of my life Just to hear tlie rattle
of an elevated train."
She stood looking down at tbe girl,
an all too evident pity in her eyes.
"It isn't all it might be, I fancy, mar
rying into tbe peerage," Cynthia safd.
"My dear," said the duchess, "when
you introduced that brother of Lord
Harrowby's this afternoon—that big,
splendid chap who said America looked
better than a title to him—I could hare
thrown my arms about his neck and
kissed him!" She came closer to tho
girl and stood looking down at her with
Infinite tenderness In her washed out
eyes. "Wasn't there—any American
boy, my dear?" she asked.
"I—I—hundreds of them," answered
Cynthia Meyrlck, trying to laugh.
The duchess turned away.
"It's wrong of me to discourage you
like that," she said. "Marrying Into
the peerage is something, after all.
You must come home every year—In
sist on St Johnson, are these the best
caviar bowls the hotel can furnish?"
And the Duchess of Lismore, late of
Detroit, drifted off into a bitter aripn
ment with the humble Johnson.
