[By Special Arrangement.- Copyright. ALMOST A TRAGEDY, I By RODERICK SCOTT. "Kate, yon can't mea-Ii it?" the young man cried, looking into her eyes, bewildered, be- seechingly. This is only a joke, Kate, surely? Have I not loved yon eo long? Have you not known of it,? Tell me it is all a icil-e." It is not, Will," she said, a litle frightened at the passionate demand. "We have been I good friends. Will; let us remain like that." "Friends!" he cried furiously, then suddenly regaining control of himeclf—"Ah, Kate: you can't mean this. Surely you can't cast me off like this." "I have told you the truth, Will. I can't marry yon. I am engaged to Dr. Morton." Him!" cried Will Ferndice. A newcomer— scarce a year in Ashurst; and I have been your slave for four years and more! By- Kate Templar put up her hand imperiously fo- silence. "Ixxtfk here, Will," she said quickly, "I am sor-ry for you; bat please don't forged yonr- self, or I will leave the room." Ferndice's eyes gleamed angrily aA the words, but, bitmgbLii3 lips, he strove to repress hi-: rag-e. "Ah. you are a cruel woman, Kate," he said; cruel as a tiger." That is not complimentary," she said coldly. I Complimentary, no:" ha retorted rapidly. "Do I feel in the mood for compliments, when the light of the day has gone out? It is easy for you to cast me off like this. You care j nothing, amd never did care seemingly. Can't you see what it means for me? I bavo been your slavo for years; have followed you about like a dog ready to do your bidding; and tbit--this ia my reward." "I am Eorry," she said slowly, her face a little sad. Had I known that-" You wooid have rejected him," he cried, eagerly and joyously. So." she retorted. "Never that; but 1 might have warned you earlier." Bah!" he answered with a muttered curse, hi3 dark face growing suffused with rage. "You have broken my heart, Kate Templar; but—but I'll make you suffer, too. Do you think I'll stand aside and see you marry this man? Do'you think I Will Ferndice, another word, and I'll leave the room," said Kate angrily. "If you dare to talk to me like that, I'll never speak to you again." Again the young man struggled with the tempest of his emotions, and gradually recovered himself. Under the swarthy skin the blood seemed to ebb until it turned a sickly hue. "I-I beg your pardon, Kate," he eaid brokenly, "I did not mean what I said." "Good-bye," she answered, quietly holding out her hand. He took it in both of his. "And this is to be the end," he s4id hoa.rsely. Won't you think again, Kate, before I go?" Xo, no," she cried impatiently. Good,byc. then, Kate," he said slowly. If you will not have me for a lover you will let me be your friend suu, won't you?" Gladly," she replied, if you won't be—be foolish." "No; I swear I'll behave myself," he said, as he turned away and left the bouse. As he rode through the streets of Ashurst Will Ferndice kept up the mask of calmness. Once clear of the house, however, he lashed his horse into a mad gallop. Oaths and incoherent threats flew from his lips as he raced blindly along; curses and imprecations were shouted aloud, so 'twas well for him none witnessed his madness. By-a.nd-bye he grew calmer. "She thinks I'm to be cast off like that," he muttered. "I've tricked her into believing! that I've lost all hope—tricked her, ay, and j not for the last time. I'll not let her go with- out a fight. I never knew I loved her so madly till now. She shall be mine, no matter what mud I've to wade through in the getting of He pulled his horse into a canter, and, with compressed lips and knitted brows, surveyed the case candidly and coldly. "There seems little hope for me," he said at last. "I must find gome way to separate them. How I know not yet, but I'm not a man to be afraid of that. Hitherto I've been a. gentleman, but now fair methods must be thrown aside. She shall never marry that man. He turned off the highway, and, riding up to tho half-farm-half-mansion house that formed his home, dismounted and strode into tho house. "You've returned early, Will," said a young lady, looking up languidly from the book she was reading. He growled out a surly reply to his sister's remark, and threw himself down in a chair by the window. She looked at him wonder- ingly. "What is wrong with you to-day, Will?" asked Marge after a long pause. "Everything's gone wrong," he answered sullenly. "Has yon fair one proved unkind?" she asked teasingly. "Worse than that," he retorted, looking at her first with anger and then with something approaching to malice, as a thought flashed through his mind. Worsc that, Will?" she asked. What do you iuean?" She's engaged to be married," he answered curtly. "To whom?" asked Madge Ferndice, now thoroughly- interested. "To Dr. Morton," replied Will, brutally, and laughing bitterly as he Eaw her wince. So you re hit by the same stroke, too, are You he added roughly. "I:" th!S?"Uid siowdv. "?? makes you th?k th?' Come! don't play with me," he said. "Lt ng be lu.nk for once. I've been flung over by R¡cte, and i-ou-well, Marge, if ever I savr a woman in love it was you, and in love with this doctor, teo." "ft ell." she said, ooldly, her lips as white I ff Üo wisp of a handkerchief she was wiping them with. j "Don't keep on saying 'well,' he retorted 1 irritably. If you don't cxre to help me and jourse^. say 60 at once. If you are willing j to let tills girl take awcly your lover, say eo. it you are not, then let us join hands for cou,- nion defence." &he looked at him from under half-drooped j eyelidi. unde r htlf-<'Lr( >Oped Are you going to submit to be robbed?" she asked. J;o, I'm not!" he cried. And do you think I'll git calmly under chrt same operation?" she askcu harshly. "Then you will help me to break off t" engagement?" That I will," she answered hardily, her eyes beginning to flash with animation. t Point out the road, Will, and trust mo to follow." There must be no going back," Will :said warzlingly. "Once we begin the battle we must fight it out; do you hear. Marge?" "You can trust me for that," she retorted, pacing up and down the room now im- patiently. Will looked at her gloomily, then said: It's not going to be a fair fight, Marge. If we want to win we'll have to leave all scruples behind." "Scruples!" she cried. "Scruples! What nonsence to talk of them while we might be planning our ev,h<Mne. -If you knew •liUW" I hate this woman who stole my lover from me you would rot talk of ecruplcs, Will Fern- dice." "And yet you and she have always been great friends," he said. Up till now," she replied. She has be- trayed me." w Nonsense," retorted Will, cynically. Mor- ton was never neally your lover." He would have been," Marge answered angrily. -Oiv, how blind I have been. How cunningly and in secret have they courted." "Well, you'll have to keep friendly with her yet," replied Will. "We must do all in our-power to hide our double disappointment, so that we may be able to get at them easily." But how?" That must depend on our luck," replied Will. PART II. I Ashurst was a small county town devoid of any manufacture. Its inhabitants were mostly people belonging to the well-to-do classes, so that there was a considerable amount of social intercourse. When Dr. Morton had come to the town a year before, quite a wave of excitement crept over Ashurst, but that soon quieted down when it was discovered that the new doctor neither played tennis nor danced, and that he preferred his books to any society that the place might provide. In spite of his disinclination to join in the general gaiety of Ashurst, Dr. Morton did not by any means become a recluse after the day's work was over, and he had found time to fall in love with Kate remplar, and, still more wonderful to relate, had found favour in her sight. Before he discovered how well he loved Kate, Dr. Morton had certainly liked Miss Ferndice, and had paid her more attention than was his wont. It was against this unsuspecting pair that brother and sister were scheming. Ferndice's hot blood had suggested methods popular a hundred years ago. Prudence had compelled him to relinquish these and resort to more refined proceedings. It was a boast of his that he had studied human nature, and with vindictive coolness he began for the first time to put these studies to an unfair use. "We must strike here," he said to Marge. He won't be able to follow her about much, and he plays tennis like an elephant, while she its the crack lady player of the Ashurst team." I "But what good can that do?" Marge I asked despondently. Can't you see, if we are able to make him jealous, he's too proud to protest. Once let us in the thin end of the wedge, trust me to keep driving it in." Soon Dr. Morton began to feel the effects of this dsvice, for, although Kate was etill as affectionate as ever, be saw her less often, as her time was so taken up with tennis matches. There was none to advise her, for her aunt, with whom ehc lived, was quite as pleasure- loving aH herself. Once, when Morton com- plained laughingly of his rival at tennis, Kate retorted tha.t if he was bo aaixious to sm hcr he knewwhcr03 to find her. But I don't play tennis," he answered. "Why not?" she retorted. "Is it too childish for your dignity?" Kate," he eaid, remonstrating. Oh, Dick, you know what I mean," ehe replied, laughingly. Do come down and I'll teach you." And Dick went, playing into Ferndice's hands, for, as the latter had said, he played like an elephant. At first Kate had merely I enjoyed his awkwardness, but when she saw the spectators laughing (chiefly, although ehe knew it not, at Will's caustic criticisms of Dick's play) she grew irritable. "Stop, Dick," she called out at last, "you'll never learn. A child would play better than you do." "Nonsense, Kate; let's continue," eaid Dick cheerily, but Kate only flung aside her racquet, and left him standing gazing after her. That night rernaice escorted her home, and Dr. Morton, in the seclusion of his study, won- dered upon the ways of womea. He felt rather annoyed at her, but resolutely put the feeling aside. Still it would keep intruding itself, as day after day passed and Kate con- tinued to be engrossed in tennis. Whenever he looked in at the tennis courts it was gene- rally to find her playing with Ferndice, or the two sitting in the shade to rest after a game. The climax was somewhat hastened by a well-meaning friend advising the doctor to look out for a rival. "That man Ferndice would be glad of the chance to jump into your shoes, doctor. He's a determined fellow, and-" "Thank you," replied the doctor, frigidly. The shaft rankled, however, and with it still in the wound he ventured to ask Kate that night to neglect her tennis a. little. "Why?" said Kate. "Don't you approve of it?" "I don't disapprove of it." replied Dick. "ODly" "Well. Dick?" "Only I don't like to see you so much with Mr. Feradioe." I "Poor old Will," Kate answered. "Poor old me, rather," said the doctor, quickly and angrily. "I didn't know that you were given to jealousy, Dick." replied Kate laughingly. I don't think I am naturally a jealous mian," returned the doctor stiffly and, though nothing more was said, yet both felt either too mucii cr too little had been uttered. That Saturday the big match at Ardtaea came off, and the Ashurst oisib set off for the Ions drive iu the common but convenient break. Ferndice drove in his dogcart, takinj his sister with him, and both were busy plot- ting. "tt tJl and Kate were playing together againat the best coctpla of the Ardtaeu team, and Kate w.13 anxious to win, for on the result of their games depended in a great measure whether tho Asliurst team would win or lose. "We must win, Will," she said determinedly, as they met on the court. From the very beginning unaccountable de- lays occurred in their games heiore etartiue, and this was increaóed by the tremendous quantity of "vantage in" acd "vamtAsa outs which took plaoe—so much so that they still had games to play long after the others had finished. I wieh they would hurry," of the Ashurst team began to mutter. "It will he all hours before wo get home. The break haa been waiting quits a long time already." "Couldn't they come afterwards? Fcrndioa has his own trap with him," eaid another. "I shouldn't mind coming in the break, and givin-s: Kate my.teat in the dogcart," replied Marge. But don't let us tell them." aha added, "it might spoil their game* 10 be fiurrisd; and we uiut pull off this match." And so it was c-ettled, without further I)r4b- amble, and much to the astonishment of Kale, when, laier on, flushed and excited, she looked around for the rest of the team. She took her seat in the dogcart, however, with few misgivings, for Ferndice declared they would 33011 overt;Jie the others. The break, however, was far in advance, and arrived in As-hurst long before them. Dr. Morton was wait.ing to escort Kate home, and. though he betrayed little emotion, he was furiously angry when Miss Ferndice took him acid4) îjd explained that Kate was driving home with Will. "They ought to have overtaken ng," sha said vexedly. I must wait here for him, as I cannot go homo alone. It's getting 60 late, too," the added quietly. .shall I ac-company you?" Dick was com- pelled to answer. Thank you so much, Dr. Morton," Marge replied gratefully. "We're sure 10 meet them on the way to our house." All the way home Miss Ferndice laid herself out to meet his mood, gently condoling with him, but so gently that he could not feel irri- tated at her, but all the more furious at Kate's imprudence. Jini as they neared the house they heard i thi wheels of the. dogcart on the road, aaid after a little it drew up alongside of th-san. When Kate saw Dick she grew a little paler and stepped oat of the machine. "Thanks bO much, Will," she said lightly. Dr. Morton will see me safely home. Good- night. The two walked for a little while in silence, and then Dick said abruptly: "This must really cease, Kate; I cannot I hate you driving alone atvall hours of the night with that man." Tll -,i t m a r- asked Kate coldly. "Who do you mean?" Your late. escort." Has he not a name?" Veil, Mr. Ferndice, since you insiet on it," retorted Dick angrily. Don't you think you are a little hasty. Dick?" she said quietly. Yoa know that I had nothing to do with making the arrange- ment. The games were not-" Kate, listen to me." eaid Dick quickly, I don't accuse you of anything, and-" "Really that is very good of you, Dick," she said, rather bitterly. It is a pretty word to speak to me Accuse!" Since you are intent in putting me in the wroujf," replied Dick coldly, it woul4 ft.e idle of me to try and further explain tayaelf." "As you think." she answered slowly, vexort with herself with him, but most of all at th« "Til fate which had made the quarrel possible. They talked polite nothings until they cajse to Kate's* home, and parted politely and coldly. That night Kate cried herself to sleep, and could only find comfort in the hope that Dick would return to her next day. However, the days went pact, and still no Dick. Proud as Lucifer, he waited for a sign of repentance from her. She, woman-like, grew gayer as the days passed, and the more furicua with him as she began to observe the emiling whisperings of the ladies at the club. They think he has thrown me over," she muttered, and because of that night." During this time Ferndice played his cards well. Whenever Kate wanted a companion he was by her side-quiet, melancholy, unobtru- sive, ready to do her will. Almost without v-ords he gave her to understand that he knew how matters stood, and of how he despised a love that would change so quickly and with so little cause. This was the state of matters when one day Dr. Morton rode slowly up the Long Hill, as that portion of the highway was called which circled round the quarry. Devil's Hill some termed it, for it had an evil reputation with farmers driving home late at night from the market and unco happy." The Long Hill was nearly a mile in length and a steep descent all the way. Many a. quick sweep did it take, but the worst of all the turns was half-way down, when, after a straight steep dip of a quarter of a mile, the road swerved sharply round. Almost at right angles, on the outside was the wall of the bottom quarry, a sheer fall of over a hundred feet, and nothing stood between the road and the fall save a timber fencing. On the inside the hill rose perpendicular. Half-way up the straight Dick heard the report of a blast in the upper quarry, and in a few moments he saw a dogcart swerving round a turn at a hideous Speed. "A runaway!" he said, as he clutched till the reins lying loose on his horse's back. The dogcart was in the straight now. the horse, mad with fear, galloping downwards to destruction. It can never turn the corner," muttered Dick, m.be watched it coming towards him. Then his heart stood still, for in the dogcart was Kate, "llite and rigid. Beside her was Will Ferndice, and as he watched he saw the latter drop the reins and begin to clamber over the back of the seat. "The hound!" cried Dick, furious at the cowardice of the man who had come between ih?s love and him. Spurring his horse-a I great, upstanding waler, ugly as ein, but with a rare turn of speed-he galloped towards the advancing dogcart. When within fifty yards of it he wheeled round, and as it passed he sparred and lashed his horse in pursuit. It was a break- neck ride, and the corner was fatally near. Keeping as close to thte side of the trap as ita swerving would permit, he called on Kate to be ready. "Jump when I tell you," he cried, and, in spite of her terror, he saw that the brava lass was ready to do his bidding. Clutching hold of the rail, she roae to her feet and waited. He seized, a moment when the trap was running straight, and drew his v.aler ittàt the peril of his neck. New," he yelled, reaching out towards her. She eprang, and for one awful instant be feared that she bad sprung short. Then her weight ca-zio full upon him. almost hurling him from the saddle. Crouching low and catching franziedly at the lithe form, he managed to keep his seat and support her. Catch en to my nock," he cried quickly, and, with hands thus partly freed, he brought the waler to a halt. A crash, the shrill neigh of a horse in terror, thi rsnding of timbers, and yet again the echo of a heavy fn 11 from the depths under- neath, all told their tale. "Dick! Dick" cried the terrified girl in his arms. IT-T,.ah, dear," he said soothingly. Oh, Dick," and. clinging to him, Kate hid her face in his breast. "It's all right now, sweetheart," he said. quietlv. putting an a-rm around her. And he?" There he is," said Dick. turning the waler round and pointing to a torn and tattered «r>ecimen\ of humanity limping miserably a way. Ile--lie left me-tl)o coward!" she cried. Then, in the same breath, hut in quite a dif- ferent tone, she added Oh, Dick, how could you leave me to him." Then you did not want him, dear?" asked Dick gently, and the answer must have been satisfactory, in the light of after events. As for Ferndice, he wawled homewards, and was met by Mtirge at the door. Will, what has happened, and where it Kate?" "What has happened-" he said bitterly. Just this. 1 turned coward, and 5he-ehe has gone with a better man." "Who?" "Need you ask?" be retorted.
