She kissed her unelc.
One day Rosalie's banjo came by ex-
press. This was 111 response to a request;
she had embodied in a letter to her
father after ehe had striven in vain to
mako the fine old piano in Mrs. Roose- [
velt's parlor banish her desire for the j
simpler instrument. No doubt it was a
very foolish act to kiss the banjo, but
she did it with genuine passion. Had it ,
not been her beloved companion from !
her childhood? Was it not one of the
old mill's inmates throughout her sweet,
crude life in the "pocket?" Ought it
not to share her happiness in this am
pier life at the Roosevelt mansion? She
turned its keys, she swept its strings.
Its pure, short notes cut through air that
never before had palpitated with music
so plebeian. The sounds brought quick
tears to her eyes, and her lips quivered.
It would be unjust to say that any fool-
ish sentiment caused her emotion. A
very natural homesickness had preyed
upon her mind at intervals siuce coming
to Savannah, and of course every letter
from the "pocket" and every other so-
cial reminder of the old mill aggravated
the malady, and it was with a feeling of
relief that Rosalie turned from the banjo
to read one addressed to her uncle from
Mr. Edgar Julian.
"Here is something that may interest
you," Mr. Roosevelt had said, as he
handed her this missive postmarked at
some town in the south of France. "The
latter part of it is really meant for you
to read. I judge you will be charmed
with it."
"Oh, it is from Mr. Julian," she ex
claimed, almost joyfully, as she glanced
at the signature. "He is in the south of
France, sure enough. And such a long
letter!"
She kissed her uncle in thankful antici-
pation of some news from "le Chateau
Chenier," and ran off to the nearest win-
dow seat to read
Mr. Roosevelt stood for a moment
contemplating her. This was the first
time his fascinating adopted daughter
had ever kissed him. He was a shrewd
old fellow; he suspected that kiss as be-
ing meant to go clear across the Atlan-
tic. He thought it not worth while to
make any remarks, however, and with a
bland smile on his semi-Jewish face he
went away to his office.
Rosalie's hand trembled as she held
the letter. Her eyes ran rapidly over
the clear, rather small writing, scarcely
the half of which had anything to do
with Mr. Roosevelt's business. Evi-
dently Mr. Edgar Julian had done val-
iant and valuable work in behalf of the
railroad schemes of his employers, for
he had sent back the contract of the
"Dutch Syndicate" duly approved, signed
and sealed. A matter so completely fin-
ished needed very few words of explana-
tion. But turning from railroad diplo-
macy to something which seemed to in-
terest him pleasantly, he wrote as fol-
lows:
"I promised Miss Chenier that I would
look up the old estate in Provence to
which her father thought he might have
some claim." (It may be said here that
Rosalie could not remember any such
promise.) "1 have seen le Chatean Che-
nier—it still bears the name; a most
lovely old ruin in the midst of vineyards
and fig orchards, and rimmed round with
olive crowned hills. The chatean itself
is not inhabitable, save that one tumble
down wing has been kept <is a pretense
I of shelter for a family of peasants, of a
J very low order, I should say; but the
j place has been a grand one.
"If one had lived a few hundred years
ago one would have loved such a home,
i for it was then a fair castle in the center
of the world's most charming region. The
estate is quite valuable even now, and
its ownership seems in doubt. After all.
Miss _Chetner's father may be the right-
| ful claimant. If he could establish his
title a few thousand dollars judiciously
expended would make the whole place a
garden of beauty. This climate is en-
chanting. 1 should like to settle here
with a colony of my own picking The
wind, and the sunshine, and the fra-
grance of things fill one with a sense of
the value of mere existence. But the
j people are dry and sttilid on the one
j hand, or gushing and monstrously in-
clined to exaggeration on the other. 1
| hold that no country whose laboring
classes wear sabots is safe to live in. It
' has the appearance of decay in its last
| stage. Sandals, bare feet and wooden
j shoes are not the accompaniments of
j progress. In walking about among the
people and the buildings here I am con-
j stantly reminded of ashes.
"Indeed, I am not sure but that the
fervent sun of this climate has slowly
burned up everything. Such energy as
we have in our great west might not be
able to resist it through many genera-
tions, especially if we should fall into this
wine drinking habit. Everywhere one
goes here one sees wine used like water,
and a great deal of it is a villainous sour
stuff unfit for hogs to drink. » * •
They tell ns that this region was once
the center of European literary caltnre;
that here the fragrant dregs of Roman
civilization, and, through the Roman,
the tireek artistic refinements, were left
over after Italy had become a cinder.
These lemon groves and vineyards, these
old chateaux, these stony hills and
drowsy valleys ought to be the ideal
region for the poets; but it seems they
could not stay; the climate made dust of
them by a dreamy process of Blow com-
bustion. Some of the old picturesque
things and some of the poetical customs
still linger here, and there is a sort of
Rose-of-Provence odor and dewiness on
the night air which quite compensates
for the daytime sultriness.
"If you deem it worth while you may
let Miss Chenier read this. She spoke
to tue of Provence and her father's at-
1 tachment for this particular region,
i and while I hardly feel at liberty to
j write to her directly, I have hoped that
| this method of sending her a mere sketch
of her ancestral country might not be
l thought impertinent.
I "Le Chateau Chenier seems to be the
I oldest place in this immediate neighbor-
I hood, not only on account of its ruined
I condition, but judging from the char-
j acter of its architecture. The landed
| estate jiertaining to the chateau is of
j considerable extent, and might be made
exceedingly remunerative by intelligent
i management. Yesterday I stood upon a
: sort of ruined tower and looked over the
landscape. If Miss Chenier could have
seen it she would have been in love more
than ever with the supposed birthplace
j of her ancestors. It is an old neglected
i garden of the south."
Rosalie read and reread the letter,
lingering over the descriptive sentences,
j and striving to get at what was not

pressed. She tried to make out from the
writer's elusive touches an outline of
the chateau and its environs. The effort
was futile. Her imagination took light
hold of the sordid part of this Provencal
heritage. It busied itself more vigor-
ously with the fine poetical romance. I
Rosalie was not impractical, however, |
and one of her first thoughts was of send- j
lug this letter, or a copy of certain parts
of it, to her father. He would be inter-
ested if not benefited. Anything con-
cerning Provence captivated his atten-
tion at once. In this he was a typical
southerner of the highest order.
After she had finally done with the
letter and had prepared excerpts from it
for her father, Rosalie went about the
house for days with sunny visions of
Provence blending with sweet memories
of the little valley of north Georgia.
She was preparing for a party her aunt
had arranged to give. There were many
things to do—mere trifles, of course, but
necessary. Between duties she played
upon the banjo, and sang the old simple
songs with a power and tenderness of
expression that charmed Mr. Roosevelt
Colonel Talbot called quite frequently,
and his attentions to Rosalie were a
source of trouble to Aunt Marguerite,
who could not even remotely contem-
plate the possibilities suggested without
the keenest pangs of selfishness. Rosalie
was her treasure, her life.
Of course, as for Colonel Talbot, he
was a most honorable man, of high
family and ample fortune. The connec-
tion would be a desirable one in many
respects, but the thought of losing Rosa-
lie was more distasteful than death itself.
There is no love so foolishly selfish and
strong as the love of the old for the
young.
CHAPTER XII.
A GENIUS FROM THE UP COUNTRY.
In her extreme and somewhat childish
solicitude touching the proper manage-
ment of Rosalie's affairs Mrs. Roosevelt
found herself iu quite a dilemma. Young
Ellis had begun to call at the mansion,
and had managed to make a very favora-
ble impression upon Mr. Roosevelt. To
say the truth this dashing, eloquent
] mountaineer had brought with him
from the "up country" just enough of
j the atmosphere of adventure and daring
with the reputation of a brilliant fellow.
In fact, he was everywhere privately
discussed as a hero, his achievements
and adventures losing nothing in the
course of frequent telling. He was well
ex" aware of his prestige, and very quietly
he pursued the advantage it gave him.
He had determined to turn his energies
to strictly legitimate pursuits; but, while
nominally a broker in cotton, his
thoughts were fixed on large schemes in
another channel. He saw the broad field
that the south offered for railroad build-
ing, especially southern Georgia and
Florida, to which field Savannah held
the key. He began at once to study the
situation of all the railroads of Florida,
and to gather information relative to
certain proposed lines. It was not long
till he had mastered such knowledge as
promised to serve his turn. He planned
boldly, but with great care.
Before Mr. Roosevelt was aware of
any move, the intrepid tyro in his own
field had got firm control of three pro-
posed routes, with land grants attached,
in Florida, and was negotiating with
New \Tork capitalists for placing the
bonds and procuring money and iron for
building. It had been so cleverly ex-
ecuted that Mr. Roosevelt was compelled
to admire and respect the genius of the
man who had originated it. But it
called for prompt action. A telegram
was sent to Mr. Largely requiring him
to come to Savannah at once. An out-
line of the dangerous break in the plan
they had made at Chicago, caused by
this brilliant coup of Ellis', was em-
bodied in the dispatch. The answer was
short but it meant a good deal:
I start today. Edgar Julian will bo with me.
Largely.
Mr. Roosevelt saw at once that Ellis
had in him the germ of success, and he
viewed him as all the more dangerous on
account of his youth and inexperience.
Genius is often successful where trained
experience would fail; it is the success
of audacity backed by enthusiasm.
The telegram from Mr. Largely was
! the first intimation received at Roo&e-
Telt [Place of Edgar Julian's return to
\ Chicago. In fact he had just arrived
from New York, and calling at once on
Mr. Largely had found the latter quite
excited over the dispatch from Savan-
nah. To Mr. Largely this opportune re-
turn of his lawyer and financial adviser
was a great relief. It lifted a heavy re-
! sponsibility, and gave a mighty impetus
to his energy.
Mr. Roosevelt himself felt that a good
i deal might justly be expected of Julian
toha\e a romantic effect, and he had in the sharj) struggle which must soon

won friends quite rapidly. His man- I
j ners were a shade freer than the conven- j
j tional "low country" aristocrats af-
fected; but his bearing was proud and
| his personal appearance extremely
J agreeable; and then his voice—no one j
j ever heard it without feeling its per- |
suasive influence.
As a background for all his claims
upon Savannah society Mr. Ellis came of j
an old and famous family. His ances-
tors, both paternal and maternal, had
distinguished themselves in Colonial
times, and in the Floridian, the Mexican
and the lute wars. They had been a
| race of olfice holders, rich, powerful,
I hospitable, renowned. Such antecedents
held a magical power which would fling
j wide the social gates of the aristocrats
j of the low country. The mere matter of
| his having broken the United States
! revenue law3 was not to be considered
against him, especially since the affair
| had been amicably adjusted. His bold-
ness, clevernesa and dashing bravery
j were set down to his credit. He was a
! true example of chivalry.
There may have been just a touch of
j the brigandish in his character, as seen
in certain lights and from occasional
| chance points of view; but this only
' served to enhance his power by adding
i the fascination of romance. Given

Sir Edmond Kane, a distinguished
English baronet, and the representative
of large London capital, had arrived in
New York, and would soon be at Jack-
sonville with a view to capturing a por-
tion of the system projected by Messrs.
Roosevelt and Largely.
There was no time to be lost. Vigor-
ous action and comprehensive judgment
were called for. There must be a com-
bination of forces and interests. It
struck Mr. Roosevelt suddenly that his

grand schemes were liable to burst at
any moment.
Mr. Frank Ellis went right on, once
he had started in his railroad operations.
The newspapers began to be full of his
doings. He was called a Southern Jim
Fiske, a young Vanderbilt, and his
power and influence increased prodi-
giously. He had gained the confidence
and aid of New York capitalists, and his
energy seemed without limit. It was as
if a mountain storm had struck the stag-
nant waters of Savannah's financial
circles. The bankers and brokers all
looked out to see what it could mean.

Ellis' brilliant movements, though he
never mentioned them to her. She read
the newspapers, and Colonel Talbot often

touch that remains is the subtle gift of
defiance of law which is said to be al- I
ways present with genius. The sultry j
imagination of the south dearlv rever- j
ences such defiance so long as it is not
leveled at tho old institutions of aristoc-
racy; and this imagination particularly [
relishes antinomian tendencies in the line
of contempt of northern rules, among
which are counted the revenue laws.
In soino way Mr. Ellis embodied this
irrepressible southern defiance. He look-
ed it, at*d his past career had accorded
with it.
On the other hand, he was gentle,
sweet voiced and almost amiable. He
had many of the elements of greatness,
not the least of which was enthusiasm
and perfect self reliance. His operations
in illicit distilling had been on a rather
grand scale, and his profits had been cor-
respondingly heavy; but his masterly
tact and skill had been shown to best ad-
vantage in his settlement of the whole
matter with the revenue officials in such
a way as to 6ave his fortune and his lib-
erty as welL He had come to Svanpah
road king from the Cherokee hills," who
was revolutionizing internal improve-
ments in Florida and southern Georgia.
She could not help feeling a certain
pride in Ellis' success, on the score that
he was from the "pocket." Of course
his success as yet consisted of mere
movements which pointed out his aims,
for there had not been time for anything
more. His race had just begun, but his
pace was astonishing. Meantime the ef-
fect of his rapid operations was immense-
ly exaggerated by the newspapers; some
accounts went so far as to place him in
undisputed control of all the railroads in
to be continued.

George—"Her face is always
covered with purple and red
blotches."
Charley—"Oh, that's easily

George—"What was it!"
Charley—"Simply blood erup-
tions. Took a short course of P.
P. P. I tell you, it's the boss
blood corrector. Tee governor
had rheumatism so bad that you
could eear him holler clear across
the county every time he moved.
He tried it, and you know what
an athletic old gent he is now. If
somebody would give Miss Daisy
a pointer, she wonld thank them
afterwards. All the drug stores
sell it."
