Mr.. Tilden loved to argue, and as
young DR.. DelaTan was quite con-
sentative the two would discuss vari-
Gus radical themes in tie most ami
able manner with the doctor mostly
on the negative side. Yet in prac-
tice-Mr. Tilden believed in the pow
ers that be, and lad arranged his
daughters future as advantageorsly
as ifall his fine socialistie ideas were
intended-like the smoke of his cigar
for mere evaporation.
George Delavan had been away for
several years at college, and had but
recently returned with his sheepskin.
He had not yet definitely located
himself for practice, and while wait
ing had called upon Mr. Tilden, who
received him with discreet cordiality.
Miss Jennie, sitting by, hardly ever
did more than listen to the fine Ito
plan theories discussed pro and con.

George, "who was poor like myself,
and named Adam Smith. From a
child he had lived close by wealthy
man whose only daughter we will
call Nellie. As children the two had
met and played together, and a
childish intercourse had been kept up
until both grew near to man and
womanhood. Then, as he was poor
and she was rich, Adam grew shy,
and they saw each other less and less.
Yet, by looks and various other un-
