CHAPTER XiV.
The Shortest Way Home.
0IXOT stood amid the colorful
blooms of the hotel courtyard
and looked up at her window,
with Its white curtnln waving
gently. Ho called softly. And then he
saw her face peering out as some
senorita of the old days from her lat
tice.
"I've news—very important news,"
he said. "May I see you n moment?"
She came, dressed In the white that
set off so well her hair of gleaming
copper. Mlnot met her on the veranda.
Slio smiled into his eyes Inquiringly.
"Do you mind—a little walk?" he
asked.
»y iiertj tu:
"Say to the fort—the longest way."
She glanced back toward the hotel.
"I'm not sure that I ought"—
"But that will only make it the more
exciting. Flease! And I've news
real news."
The gray fort loomed In the moon
light like a historical novelist's dream.
Its huge lronbound doors wen; locked
for the night; Its custodian home In the
bosom of his family. Only Its lower
ramparts were left for the feet of ro
mantic youth to tread.
Along theso ramparts, close to the
shimmering sea, Miss Meyrlck and
Miuot walked. Truth to tell, It was
not so very difficult to keep one's foot
ing—but once the girl was forced to
hold out an appealing hand.
"French heels are treacherous," she
explained.
Minot took her hand, and for the
Qrst time knew the thrill that, en
countered often on the printed page,
ho had mentally classed as "rubbish!"
Wisely she Interrupted It:
"Yoa said you had news?" .
He had, but It was not so easy to
Impart as he had expected.
"Tell me," he said, 'If it should turn
out that what poor old George said
this morning was a fact—that Allan
Harrowby was an imposter — would
you feel so very badly?"
She withdrew her hand.
"You have no right to ask that," she
replied.
"Forgive me. Indeed I haven't. But
I was moved to ask it for the reason
that—what George said was evidently
true. Allan Harrowby left suddenly
for the north an hour ago."
Tho girl stood still, looking with
wide eyes out over the sea.
"Left—for the north," she repeated.
There was a long silence. At length
she turned to Minot, a queer light in
her eyes. "Of course you'll go after
him and bring Mm back," she asked.
"So." Minot bowed his head. "I
know I must hove looked rather silly
of late. But if you think I did the
things I've done because I chose to—
you're wrong, if you think I did them
because I didn't love you —you're
wrong too. Oh, I"—
"Mr. Minot!"
The water breaking on the ancient
stones below seemed to be repeating
"Sh—sh," but Minot paid no heed to
the warning.
"I've enred for you," he went on,
"ever since that morning on the train
when we raced the razorbacks—ever
since that wonderful ride over a God
forsaken road that looked like heaven
to me. And eves* time since that
seen you I've Known mat 1 a come to
care more"—
"Weren't you overly chivalrous to a
rival? Wouldn't what—what you are
saying be more convincing If you had
remained neutral?"
"I know. I can't explain It to you
now. It's all over, anyway. It was
horrible while It lasted, but it's over
now. I'm never going to work again
for your marriage to anybody—except
one man. The man who is standing
before you, who loves you—loves you"—
"If we were back ou the train," she
said, "and all that followed could be
different—and Harrowby had never
been—I might"—
"You might—yes?"
"I might not say what I'm going to
say now, which i»—hadn't we better
return to the hotel?"
"I'm sorry," remarked Minot. "8orry
I had the bad taste to say what I hav«
at this time—but if you knew and
could understand—which you can't of
course— Yes, let's go back to the hotel
—the shortest way."
"Considering what you have told me
of—Harrowby," she eald, "I shall be
leaving for the north soon. Will you
look me up In New York?"
"Thank you," Mlnot said. "It will
be a very great privilege."
Cynthia Meyrick entered the eleva
tor, and out of sight In that glided cage
she smiled a twisted little smile.
Mr. Mlnot beheld Mr. Trimmer and
his "proposition" basking in the lime
light of the De la Pax, and, feeling in
no mood to listen to the publicity man's
triumphant cackle, he hurried to the
veranda. There he found a bellboy
calling his name.
"Gen'lemun to see you." the boy ex
plained. He led the way back into the
lobby and up to a tall athletic looking
man with a ruddy, frank, attractive
face. . , ,
The stranger held out his hand.
"Mr. Mlnot?" he asked. "How do
you do, sir? I'm very glad to know
you. Promised Thacker I'd look you
up at once. Let's adjourn to the grill
room. I'm the owner of the yacht In
the harbor, which somebody has re
chrioteued the Llleth."
"Yes—I thought so," Mlnot replied.
"I'm mighty glad you've come. A Mr.
Martin Wall is posing as the owner
Just at present"
"So I learned from Thacker. Nervy
lad, this Wall. I live In Chicago my
self—left my boat—Lady Evelyn, I
called her—in the North river for the
winter in charge of a caretaker. This
Wall, it seems, needed a boat for a
month and took a fancy to mine."
The stranger leaned across the table.
"In the meantime," be said, "I happen
to be interested In another matter.
What's all this talk about George Har
rowby coming back to life?"
"Well, there's a. chap here," Mlnot
explained, "who claims to be. the elder
brother of Allan Harrowby, His cause
Is in the hands of an advertising ex
pert named Trimmer."
"Yes. I saw a story in a Washing
ton paper."
"This morning George Harrowby, so
called, confronted Allan narrowby and
denounced Allan himself as a fraud."
The man from Chicago threw back
his head, and a roar of unexpected
laughter smote on Mlnot's hearing.
"Good Joke," said the strange*.
"No Joke at all. George was right
at least, so it seems. Allan Harrowby
cleared out this evening."
"Yes. So I was told by the clerk in
there. Do you happen to know—er—
Allan?"
"Yes. Very well Indeed."
"But you don't know the reason he
left?"
"Why," answered Mlnot, "1 suppose
because George Harrowby gave him
" I
"I thought he wan dead," murmured
poor Jenklna in terror.
twenty-four hours to get out of town."
Again the Chicago man laughed.
"That can't hate been the reason,"
he said. ' I happen to know."
"Just how," Inquired Minot, "do you
happen to know?"
"I fancy I neglected to introduce my
self," he said "I make automobiles In
Chicago, and my name's George Har
rowby."
"You—you"— Mlnot's head went
round dizzily. "Oh, no," he said firmly.
"I don't believe It."
The other's smile grevt even broader.
"Don't blame you a bit, my boy," he
said. "Must have been a bit of a mix
up down here. Then, too, I don't look
like an Englishman. Don't want to.
I'm an American now, and I like It"
"You meaflj-ou'ce the real Lord Har
rowby?"
"That's what I mean—take It slowly,
Mr. Minot. I'm George, and If Allan
ever gets his eyes on me 1 won't have
to prove who I am. He'll know, the
kid will. But, by the way, what I
want now is to meet this chap who
claims to be me—also his friend, Mr.
Trimmer.
"Of course you do. I saw them out
in the lobby a minute ago." Mlnot rose.
"I'll bring them in. But—but"—
"What is It?"
"Oh, never mind. I believe you."
Trimmer and his proposition still
adorned the lobby, puffed with pride
and pompousness. Briefly Minot ex
plained that a gentleman in the grill
room desired to be introduced, anil
graciously the two followed after. Tin
Chicago George Harrowby rose as he
saw the group approach his table. Sud
denly behind him Mluot heard a voice:
"My God!" And the limp English
man of the sandwich boards made u
long, lean streak toward the door
Mluot leaped after him and dragged
him back.
"Here, Trimmer," he sold, "your
proposition has chilblains."
"What's the trouble?" Mr. Trimmei
glared about him.
"Allow me," said Minot. "Sir—our
leading vaudeville actor and his man
ager. Gentlemen—Mr. George Harrow
by of Chicago!"
"Sit down, boys." said Mr. Harrowby
genially. He indicated a chair to Mr.
Trimmer, but that gentleman stood, his
eyes frozen to the face of his proposi
tion. The Chicago man turned to that
same proposition. "Brace up. Jenlcins,"
ho said. "Nobody will hurt you."
But Jenkins could not brace, ne al
lowed Minot to deposit his limp body
in a chair.
"I thought you was dead, sir," he
mumbled.
"A common mistake," smiled George
Harrowby. "My family has thought
the same, and I've been too busy mak
ing automobiles to tell them different
ly. Mr. Trimmer, will you have a—
what's the matter, man?"
For Mr. Trimmer was standing, pur
ple, over his proposition.
"I want to get this straight," he said
with assumed calm. "See here, you
cringing cur—what does this mean?"
"I thought he was dead," murmured
poor Jenkins in terror.
"You'll think the same about yourself
In a minute—and you'll be right," Trim
mer predicted.
"Come, come," said George Harrow
by pacifically. "Sit down, Mr. Trim
mer. Sit down and have a drink. Do
you mean to say you didn't know Jen
kins here was faking?"
"Of course I didn't," said Trimmer.
He sat down on the extreme edge of a
chair, as one who proposed to rise
soon. "All this has got me going. I
never went round in royal circles be
fore, and I'm dizzy. I suppose you're
the real Lord Harrowby?"
"To be quite correct, 1 nm. Don't
you believe It?"
"I can believe anything—when I look
at him," said Trimmer, indicating the
pitiable ex-claimant to the title. "Say,
who Is this Jenkins we bear so much
about?"
"Jenkins was the son of my father's
valet" George Harrowby explained.
m nun tow
f "Ho came to America with me. Wo
ported suddenly on n ranch in south*
i era Arizona."
"Everybody said you was dead," per
sisted Jenkins, as one who could not
lose sight of that fact.
"Yes? And they pave you my letters
and belongings, eli? So you thought
you'd pose as me?"
"Yes, sir," confessed Jenkins humbly.
