"All the same" the painter continued "when I was out there in the studio, I could feel some one watching me you know the feeling." Conrad Lagrange returned mockingly, "I trust your over-sensitive, artistic temperament is not to be so influenced by our ghostly visitor that you will be unfitted for your work." The other laughed.
A wash in the clear, cold water of the brook; a simple meal, prepared by Conrad Lagrange over a small fire made of sticks gathered by the artist; their tarpaulin and blankets spread within sound of the music of the stream; a watching of the sun's glorious going down; a quiet pipe in the hush of the mysterious twilight; a "good night" in the soft darkness, when the myriad stars looked down upon the dull red glow of their camp-fire embers; with the guarding spirit of the mighty hills to give them peace and they lay down to sleep at the mountain's feet.
Louise Taine sensing that the performances of the unnamed violinist had been acceptable to Conrad Lagrange and Aaron King the two representatives of the world to which she aspired could not let the opportunity slip. She fairly deluged them with the spray of her admiring ejaculations in praise of the musician employing, hit or miss, every musical term that popped into her vacuous head.
"Whatever brought you here, gentlemen," said Brant drily, "I am glad, for your sakes, that you are in uniform, although it does not, unfortunately, relieve me of an unpleasant duty." "I don't think I understand you," returned Lagrange, coldly. "If you had not been in uniform, you would probably have been shot down as spies, without the trouble of capture," said Brant quietly.
Aaron King broke the silence by drawing a long breath as one who could find no words to express his emotions. Conrad Lagrange spoke sadly; "And to think that there are, in this city of ten thousand, probably, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety people who never see it."
"You were personally acquainted with the late Hugh Mainwaring, I believe?" "Yes, sir, intimately acquainted with him." "You are, I believe, familiar with the Mainwaring jewels which are now missing?" continued the coroner. Walter LaGrange looked uncomfortable and his mother's cheek paled.
And before either of the men could speak again, she sprang lightly across the little stream, and disappeared through the willow wall. "Well, I'll be " The novelist checked himself, solemnly staring blankly at the spot where she had disappeared. The artist laughed. "What do you think of it?" demanded Conrad Lagrange, turning to his friend.
The acquaintance of Aaron King and Conrad Lagrange had developed rapidly into friendship.
It has been suggested by Father Lagrange that the mourning for Adonis was essentially a harvest rite designed to propitiate the corngod, who was then either perishing under the sickles of the reapers, or being trodden to death under the hoofs of the oxen on the threshing-floor.
Granting that Conrad Lagrange was right in his supposition that the girl had left with the intention of going to Brian Oakley's, the artist could scarcely, now, hope to arrive at the Ranger Station until some time after Sibyl had reached the home of her friends unless she should stop somewhere on the way, which he did not think likely.
