CHAPTER XXXII Oswald is told of
Edith’s death.
Orlando was in that shout cf natural
forces, but he is not in this stillness.
They look aloft, but the heavens are
void. Emptiness is where life was.
Oswald begins to away, and Doris, re
membering him now and him only,
has thrown her strong young ann
about him, when—v.'hat is this sound
they hoar hit’ll up, high up, in the rap
idly clearing vault of t’vj heavens! A
throb—a steniy pant—drawing near
and yet near* r—entering tile circb t of
great branches over their heads—de
scending, slowly d scending—till they
catch another glimpse of those hazy
outlines which had no sooner taken
thnpe than the car disappeared from
their sight within the elliptical wall
open to receive it.
It had survived the gale! It has re
entered its haven, and that, too, with
out colliding with aught around or any
shgck to those within, just as Orlando
had promised, and the world was
henceforth his! Hail to Orlando Broth
erson!
Oswald could hardly restrain his
mad joy and enthusiasm. Bounding to
the door separating him from this
conqueror of almost invincible forces,
he pounded it with impatient fist.
“Let me in!” he cried. "You’ve

quick turning of the lock, Orlando

They never forgot him as he looked
at that moment. He was drenched,
battered palpitating with excitement;
but the majesty of success was in his
eye and in the bearing of his incom
parable figure.
As Oswald bounded towards him. he
reached out his hand, but his glance
was for Doris.
"Yes,” he went on, in tones of sup
pressed elation, “there’s no flaw in
my triumph. I have done all that I
set out to do. Now—”
Why did he stop end look hurt* dlv

at that moment was stepping careful

complete. H<* had meant—

should mar his great hour. He was a
conqueror, and it was for him ittnv to
reap the joy of conquest.
CHAPTER XXXVIII.
Night.
Three days 1 rd passed, and Orlando
Brotherson sat in his room at the ho
tel before; a table laden with tele
prams, letters and marked newspa
pers. The news of his achievement
had gone abroad, and Derby was, for
the moment, the center of interest for
two continents.
His success was nn established fact.
The second trial which he had made
with his car, this time with the whole
town gathered together in the streets
as witnesses, had proved not only the
reliability of its mechanism, but the
great advantages which it possessed
for a direct flight to any given point.
Already he saw fortune beckoning to
him in the shape of an unconditional
offer of money from a first-class
source; and better stiU—for he w as a
man of untiring energy and bound
less resource—that opportunity for
new and enlarged effort whleh cones
with the recognition of one’s excep
tional powers.
All this was his and more. A sweet
er hope, a more enduring joy had fol
lowed hard upon gratified ambition.
Doris had smiled on him—Doris! She
had caught the contagion of the uni
versal enthusi: sm and had given him
her first ungrudging token of approval.
It bad altered his whole outlook on
life in an instant, for there was an
eagerness in this demonstration which
proclaim' d the relieved heart. She no
longer trusted either appearances or i
her dream. He had succeeded in con- i
quering her doubts by the very force
of his personality, and the shadow I
which had hitherto darkened their in
tercourse had melted quit0 a wav. Site I
was ready to take his word now and
Oswald s, after which the rest must
follow. Love does not lag. tar behind
an ardent admiration.
Fame! Fortune! Love! What
more could a man desire? What
more could this man, with his strenu
ous past end an unlimited capacity for
; n enlarged futuie, ask from fat* than
this. Yet, as he bi nds over his letft"'s
lingering some, hut reading none be
yond a line or two, he betrays but. a
1 . sring elation, and hardly lifts hi
ll! ad when a burst of loud acclaim
comes ringing up tc his window from
some ardent passer-by: “Hurrah for
Brotherson! He has put our town on
the map!”
Why this despondency? Have those |
two demons seized him again? Is j
would seem so and with new ami over
mastering fury. Alter the hour of'
triumph comes the hour of reckoning.
Orlando Brotherson in his hour of
proud attainment stands naked before
his own soul’s tribunal and tiro plead
er is dumb and the judge inexorable I
There is but one witness to such
struggles; but one eye to note the
watte and devolution of the devas
tated soul, when the storm is over
past.
Orlando Pro'h'rson has succumbed;
the attach was too keen, his forces too
shaken. Hut as the heavy minutes
pass, he slov.lv regathers liis strength
and rises, in the end, a conqueror.
Nevertnless, he knows, even in that
moment of regained command, that
the peace he had thus bought with
strain and stress is but momentary;
tlint the battle is on for life; that the
days which’to other eyes would carry
a sense of brilliancy—days teeming
with work and outward satisfaction—
would hold within their hidden depths
a brooding uncertainty which would
rob applause of its music and even
overshadow the angel face of Love.
lie quailed at the prospect, material
ist though lie was. The days—the in
terminable days! In his unbroken
strength and the glare of the noonday
sun, he forgot to take account of the
rights looming in black and endless
procession before him. It was from
i’ e d _ ■ V " - ’
from Cue ghoul which works in thfi
darkness and makes a grave of the
Inert while h. s pier mortals sleep.
Ar:d the former terror seemed for
midable enough to him in this his
hour of startling realization, even if
1 e had fncd himself for the nonce
its controlling power. To escape
all further contemplation of it he
would work. These letters deserved

Oswald, and in their consideration find
distraction for the rest of the day, at.
! ast. Oswald was a good fellow. If
pleasure were to be gotten from these
tokens of good-will, he should have
his share of it. A gleam of Oswald’s
old spirit in Oswald’s once bright eye,
would go far towards throttling one of
1 hose demons whose talons he had
just released rom his throat; and
tf Doris responded too. he would de.
serve Lis fate. It he uid not succeeu
In gaining that mastery of himself
which would make such hours as
these episodes in a life big with inter
est and potent with great emotions.
Rising with a resolute air, he made
a bundle of his papers and, with them
in hand, passed out of his room and
down the hotel stairs.
A man stood directly in his way.
as he made ior the front door. It was
Mr. ChaHolier.
Courtesy demanded some show of
recognition between them, and Broth
erson was passing with his usual cold
bow, when a sudden ftnpulse led him
to pause and meet the other's eye,
with the sarcastic remark:
“You have expressed, or so I have |
been told, some surprise at my choice
of mechanician. A man of varied ac
complishments, Mr. Challoner, but one
for whom 1 have no further use. If,
therefore, you wish to call off your
watch-dog, you are at liberty to do i

to either of us much longer."
The older gentleman hesitated, seek
ing possibly for composure, and when
he answered it was not only without

Much as That?"
irony but with a certain forced re
spect.:
“Mr. Sweetwater has just left for
New York, Mr. Brotherson. He will
carty with him, no doubt, the full
particulars of your great success.”
Orlando bowed, this time with dis- j
tinguiahed grace. Not a flicker of re-1
lief had disturbed the calm serenity
of his aspect, yet when a moment
later, lie stepped among his shouting
admirers in the street, his air and
glance betrayed a bounding jov for
which another source must be. found
than that of gratified pride, a chain
had slipped from his spirit, and
though the people shrank a little even
while they eueered, it was rather from
awe of his bearing and the recogni
tion of the sense of apartness which
underlay his smile than from any per
ception of the man’s real nature or of
the awesome purpose which, at that
inomi nt exalted it. But had they
known—could they have seen into this
tumultuous heart—what a silence
would have settled upon these noisy
streets; and in what terror and soul
confusion wou’d each man have slunk
away from his fellows Info the quiet
and solitude of his own home.
Brotherson himself was not without
a sense of the incongruity underlying
(his ov; lion; for, as he slowly worked
himself along, the brightness of his
look became dimmed with a tinge of
sarcasm which in its turn gave, way
to an expression of extn ine melan

of the hour in the tirst flush of his
new-born glory. Had he seen Doris’

reached the house, and sent his fol
lowers back; after which he advanced
with an unhurrying step, so that sev- i
era! minutes elapsed b' fore he finally
drew up before Mr. Scott's door and
entered through the now empty porch
Into his brotiier’s sitting room.
He had meant, to see Doris first, but
his mind had changed. If all passed
off well between himself and Oswald,
if he found his brother responsive
and wide-awake to the interests and
necessities of the hour, he might fore
go his interview with her till he felt
better prepared to meet it. For call it
cowardice or simply a reasonable pre
caution, any delay seemed preferable
to liim in his present mood of dis
couragement, to that final casting of
the die upon which hung so many and
such tremendous Issues. It was tile
first moment of real halt in his whole
tumultuous life! Never, as daring ex
perimentalist or agitator, had he
shrunk from danger seen or unseen or
from threat uttered or unuttered,, as
he shrank from this young girl's no;

speak when his own judgment bade
him be si 1 nt, darkened his features
as he entered his brother’s presence.
But Oswald was sunk in a bitter
revery of his own, and took no he< d of
these signs of depression, in the re
action following these days of great

deceive him, and his voice quavered a
trifle as he held out lus packet with
the words:

world says of my invention. We will

warn opened the letters. “Money
has been ottered me and—read!
read!' he urged, with an unconscious
dictatorialness as Oswald paused lq
his task. “See what the fates have
prepared for us; for you shall share
all my honors, as you will from lids
day share my work and enter into all
my experiments. Cannot you enthuse
a little bit over it? Doesn't the pros
pect contain any allurement for you?
Would you rather stay locked up in
this petty town—”
Yes; or-—die. Don't look like that,
Orlando. It wras a cowardly speech
and 1 ask your pardon. I’m hardly flt
to talk today. Edith—”
Orlando frowned. ,
“Not that name!” he harshly inter
rupted. “You must not hamper your
life with useless memories. That
dream of yours may be saered, but it
belongs to the past, and a great reality
confronts you. When you have fully
■ecovered your health, your own man
hood will rebel at a weakness unwor

Oswald. Take account of our pros
pects. (live me your hand and say:
'Life holds something for me yet. I
have a brother who needs me if I do
not need him. Together, we can prove
ourselves invincible and wrench fame
and fortune from the world.”’
But the hand he reached for did not
rise at his command, though Oswald
started erect and faced him with man
ly earnestness.
“I should have to think long and
deeply,” he said, "before I took upon
myself responsibilities like tlutse. I
am broken in mind and heart, Or
lando, and must remain so till God
mercifully delivers me. 1 should he a
poor assistant to you—a drag, rather
than a help. Deeply as 1 deplore it,
hard as it may be for one of your
temperament to understand so com

knowledge my condition and pray you
not to count upon me in any plans you
may form. I know how this looks—I
know that as your hrother and truest
admirer, I Bhould respond, and re
spond strongly, to such overtures as
these, but the motive for achievement
is gone. She was my all; and while 1
might wrork. It would be mechanically.
The lift, the elevating thought is
gone.”
Orlando stood a moment studying
his brother’s face; then he turned
shortly about and walked the length
of the room. When he came back, he
took up Ills stand again directly be
fore Oswald, and asked, with a new
note in his voice:
"Did von love Edith Ohalioner so
much at that?”
A glance from Oswald's eye, sadd> r
than any tear.
“So that you cannot be reconciled?"
A gesture. Oswald’s words were al
ways few.
Orlando's frown deepened.
“Such grief I partly understand.”
said he. “But time will cure it. Some
day another lovely face—”
“We’ll not tnlk of that, Orlando.”
“No. we'll not talk of that,” acqui
esced the inventor, walking away
again, this time to the window. “For
you there’s but one woman—and site's
a memory.”
"Killed!” hroke from his brother's
lit>s. “Slain by her own hand under an
impulse of wildness and terror! Can I
ever forget that? Do not expect it,
Orlando.”
“Then you do blame me?” Orlando
turm d and was looking full at Oswald.
“I blame your unreasonableness and
your overweening pride.”
Orlando stood a moment, then
moved towards the door. The heavi
n' ss of his step smote upon Oswald's
ear and caused him to exclaim.
"Forgive me. Orlando.” But the. pth.
it cut him short with an imperative:
“Thanks for your candor! If her
spirit is destined to stand like an Im
movable shadow between you and me,
you do right to warn nte. But. this in
i' rview must end all allusion to the
subject. 1 will se^k and find another
man to share my fortunes! (as he said
this lie approached suddenly, and took
his patters from the other’s handt or
—” Here he hastily retraced his steps
to the door which he softly opened.
"Or,” he repeated -but though Oswald
listened for the rest, it did not come.
While he waited, the other had given
Mm one deeply concentrated look and
passed out.
No heartfelt understanding was pos
sible between these two men.
Crossing the hall, Orlando knocked
at the door of Doris’ little sitting
room.
