In the midst of the haying, however, came a message which he could not disregard, a hasty summons from Mark Deane, who, seeing Gilbert in the upper hill-field, called from the road, bidding him to the raising of Hallowell's new barn, which was to take place on the following Saturday.
Easily feigning an errand to the village, he walked rapidly up the road in the warm afternoon, taking the cross-road to New-Garden just before reaching Hallowell's, and then struck to the right across the fields. After passing the crest of the hill, the land sloped gradually down to the eastern end of Tuffkenamon valley, which terminates at the ridge upon which Kennett Square stands.
"My God! It's Kate!" he gasped. "I tell you, Henry, it is Kate!" The voice of Vance, deep and hollow like a bell, sounded a note of warning. "Speak quickly," he commanded. "Her time on earth is brief." Mr. Hallowell's hold upon the arm of his friend relaxed. Fearfully and slowly, he bent forward. "Kate!" he pleaded; "I must ask you a question. No one else can tell me."
He gave her a photograph and after, for an instant, studying it in silence, she returned it to him. "It will be quite easy," she said to Vance. She walked to the door, and instinctively the two men, who were seated, rose. "I will see you tonight at Mr. Hallowell's," she said, and, with a nod, left them. "Well," exclaimed Rainey, "you didn't tell her!" "I know," Vance answered.
"We'll show you, all right," said he. He sketched briefly for Hallowell's benefit the reasoning already followed out, and which it is therefore unnecessary to repeat here. "So now," he concluded, "we will consider this hypothesis: that these phenomena are caused by one man in control of a force capable of deadening vibrations in ether and solids within certain definite limits."
After he had killed the warrior, Booth kept his seat on the cracker box, watching to see what the Indians were going to do next, when he was suddenly interrupted by Hallowell's crying out to him: "Off to the right again, Cap, quick!" and, whirling around instantly, he saw an Indian within three feet of the wagon, with his bow and arrow almost ready to shoot; there was no time to get over the seat, and as he could not fire so close to Hallowell, he cried to the latter: "Hit him with the whip!

At first the company were silent; but the enlivening motion of the horses, the joy of the coming summer, the affectionate sympathy of Nature, soon disposed them to a lighter mood. At Hallowell's, the men left their hoes in the corn-field, and the women their household duties, to greet them by the roadside. Mark looked up at the new barn, and exclaimed, "Not quite a year ago!
He is going to publish a story that Mr. Hallowell has fallen under the influence of mediums, clairvoyants; that everything he does is on advice from the spirit world " he turned sharply upon Lee. "Is that right?" The reporter nodded. "You can see the effect of such a story. It would invalidate every act of Mr. Hallowell's!" Dr. Rainey laughed offensively.
She drew away again and once more searched his face. "You told me she was homely." "Not exactly that." "Insignificant then." "Isn't she?" "Yes in a way," said Josephine, the condescending note in her voice again and in his mind Miss Hallowell's clever burlesque of that note. "But, in another way Men are different from women. Now I a woman of my sort couldn't stoop to a man of her class.
