CHAPTER X.
FIATTERING AND UNEXPECTED.


AS a conscientious man, Russell could
not fully persuade himself that Browns
desire for Miss Rays intellectual ad-
vancement would be adequately met by
the work Of the Society for General
Culture. II the society should map cut
a plan for itself at any meeting he
foresaw that at the time OF the next as
sembly there would be at least seven
different ideas Of what that plan bad
been, and seven opinions Of any thing
that might be offered as q substitute.
The resulting debates would not be in
the line OF mental progress
But IL was not because OF these con-
sidorations that Russell continued 10
call upon Miss Ray as frequently as the
circumstances would permit, He went
because he found IL more and more
agreeable TO do 30. He was becoming
even deeper involved In money-making
schemes OF a nature i'll calculated TO
make a man feel at peace with himself.
These fanciiul projects appeared TO
spring up without his yolition and 10
control him. He was thoir creature.
They gave him o living, but for all he
could see they might cut him of with a
shilling any day. He regarded himself
as an inhdted fraud, and though this
was on tho whole rather pleasant at
FIRST he enjoyed the variety Of feeling
honest once In awhile s
And when such desire came TO him
ho called upon Alice Ray, and talked OF
the subjects which interested her as
frankly as she herself, and derived q
Neasure which no did not understand,
but which came TO him because he really
was honest In regard 10 her, and hadn't
q thought In his brain which couldn't
have been safely photographed for her
inspection or Browns. He liked her
simply as he liked sunshine and fresh
air. She was so palpably innocent Of
small deceits and vanities.
Russell rather liked Mrs. Ray, too,
She was inferior TO her daughter in
every way. Even In her youth she had
not possessed half Of Alice's beauty, yet
at forty-fve she was by no means the
embodied prophecy which sometimes
frightens suitors away. Mentally she
was almost blank, as Brown had said,
but with good instincts and breeding
she had mover felt the want, A safe
mother for girl, after all; for It is i'm
possible TO inherit evil tendencies from
q person Of no tendencies whatever.
II was easy fo- Russell 10 win her ap-
probation. He made no special effort

WHERE DOES HE pwELLq

Where dwells tho god OF love Doth ho
abide
With beams that in maiden's tresses hidei
Or doth the rascal shield his cunning wiles
Amid an ambush OF bewitohing smilesi
Perchance behind some flashing, tet-black eye
He turks, and lets his deadly arrows fly.
Mayhaph he lives mid timid frowns that raoe
With tender touch across o maiden's face.
Some say the little rascal Oft is found
Where silyery notes Of gleeful laughter sound,
And by loving word he quick disarms
His victim, and beguiles him with his charms.
Or doth he rule world OF heavenly bliss
Concealed behind the sunshine Of kissS
~ may be that upon some swan-lilSe breast
BE builds his throne, contentedly to rest;
The while DER lily cheeks he paints blush,
To lure some willing heart with hopes TO crush |
Perhaps clad in the armor Of sigh,
This warrior doth his artinces try;
On, lurking near some maiden's eager ear,
Sings songs that only lovers hearts may hear.
We know not how, nor why, nor where he
lives.
Yet feel the magic that his presence gives.

should be was appointed by the chair,
assisted by all tho members simultane-
ously. In fact that was SO much assist
snce that after the committee had been
appointed nobody could remember who
was on 1t. But by this time the course
OF debate had changed, and this very
difficult question had arisen: "How shall
We let the people who come to the re-
ception find out how much we have
learned that they don't know?" Various
solutions of this problem were offered
but they were all open to tho objection
Of suggesting school days and graduat-
ing exercises. Russell thought that it
would be good idea to have each men,
ber OF the society register vow not to
talk upon frivolous subject with any
young man at the reception-in his case,
the resolution would read "young
woman" Of course. Each member should
keep o record Of the number Of topics OF
conversation introduced by her and
hitherto unheard Of by the other party
TO the conversation. Every such topic
should count one, and the member hav-
ing the highest score at the end Of the
evening should be entitled to a prize
which should be awarded in the presence
of the society's guests.
This plan met with much favor at
first, but finally it was voted down, on
the ground that Russell would certainly
win, and that that was why he suggested
itwhich was very mean OF him, because,
Of course, he could find any quantity Of
girls who didn't know much, and prob
ably he wouldn't play the game fairly,
any way.
Then the question of name came up
again, followed by the appointment
land dissolutionl of half dozen more
committees The search for a motto
came next, and 1t gradually drifted into
general conversation on music, mil
linery and the drama. Afterwards,
some Russian tea was served; and then
there was just time enough for vote
that Secretary Russell should come to
the next meeting Of the society pre-
pared to give 1t name, motto and q
subject for research.

, o DO so, but he was innately respectful
md Of most courteous demeanor. Gil
,ert Ray had told his wife that Russell
vas "hustler who would be heard
rom," and she had taken this to mean
m active young man who might be sup
posed to prefer theaters and wine sup
pers OF riotous and forbidden char
icter, rather than peace and quietness.
She therefore felt complimented by
ais evident delight IN the home-like
evenings he spent there, with no more
hilarious entertainment than some
what vacuous conversation and little
music. II he had been in love with
Alice that would have been another
matter, but the maternal eye detected
no sign. Ht
The life Of the family was simplicity
Itself They spent almost all their
evenings at home, and enjoyed each
others company In the good old fashion.
Alice sang and played WELL and both
her parents were good listeners, though
Mrs. Ray had o slight tendency to
somnolency. They stayed in the city
very late that season, to Russell's great
satisfaction.
He made other acquaintances through
the Society for General Culture. This
organization discovered at its second
meeting that the approaching summer
would dry up the springs of knowledge;
and it was voted and reconsidered and
voted again and finally settled by gen.
eral misunderstanding, that the third
session should be the last till fall. The
girls all pledged themselves to read
during the summer lot of books (the
names Of which they couldn't afterwards
remember) and thus gain store Of wis
dom to share when they reassembled.
Russell read the minutes OF the previ-
Gus meeting which he had made out
with offensive accuracy. The girls all
protested that they never said any thing
Of the sort or voted that way at all. The
report was then amended in such thor
ough but unintelligible manner that the
Recording Angel could never have rec
oghized 1t as an account OF any thing
which had transpired on earth during
his term Of supervision.
This second meeting was not at the
Rays" but at house near by. All the
girls lived within stones throw Of one
another. Through this association Rus
sell received invitations to one or two
minor social gatherings in the very last
days Of town life. Near the end Of June
the Rays went TO their summer home on
the Hudson. II asnot beyond easy access
from New York, and Russell was ex-
pected TO come up frequently during
the summer. This cordiality would
have amazed him II the extraordinary
kindness which had hitherto been shown
him by the Rays had not prepared him
for almost any thing. He accepted most
OF Rays invitations, which generally
included Saturday afternoon and Sun
day afternoon at the villa and a sail up
and down in the millionaire's handsome
steam yacht. At the villa Russell
learned to play tennis and to wear
picturesque summer clothing He was
young man designed by nature to COM
plete landscape with a striped blazer.

The Reward OF y Physician Who saved

Some years ago when q certain DR..
Brewer was hospital surgeon in Bos.
ton he was called 10 attend Chinaman
who had been crushed almost TO jelly
by the wheels Of huge truck The
poor fellow was In great agony, and
when taken 10 tho hospital he was
given up as fatally injured. But while
life remained, Of course, the surgeon
worked and watched. For days the Chi.
naman hung over the chssm OF death,
but at last he commenced to gain, and
little by little recovered.
After several weeks he was taken
from the hospital by friends, and DR..
Brewer never expected TO soc or hear OF
him again. But six months later he
received queer parcel, which was
handed to him by the Chinaman and
three friends, who left II in the doctors
hands after going through lot OF
speechmaking and katowing. The
young physician opened tho parcel, and
within the wrappings was found ban
ner Of queer cardinal fabric. One side
was covered with Chinese words and
on the other was DR.. Brewers name.
The recipient Of this strange gift could
not find any ono in Boston TO translate
the queer characters, and finally his
father then member Of Congress, took
the banner to tho Chinese Legation in
Washington and had a Translation rem
dered. This related .he story Of tho
Chinaman's injuries and told Of DR..
Brewers wonderful skill in treating the
patient, saving his l.fo.
The closing sentonce stated that after
long consultation the Chinaman and
his friends had decided that young DR..
Brewers soul was that formerly pos
sessed by famous doctor OF. the Co
lestial Empire who died some years
since. H.t

THkN THEY ALL TURNED UPON RUSSELL,
mand Of any OF them to be sure Of the
accuracy OF quotation. From this point
discussion drifted naturally 10 the study
OF the languages, and the comparative
usefulness OF French and German was
warmly debated. a.. t....
"But we can't study either without q
teaoher," said Alice, land teacher
would be horrid."
Doesn't Mr.. Russell know French?''
asked Miss Hill.

steward does not try to write IL IN En-

"oh, 1t isn't the least use TO anybody"
said several girls in chorus "You can't
possibly know enough about IL 70 mako

"We ought 10 have some Committees, {"

going TO read, well have somebody ap-
pointed 10 read II aloud. and the cultke
will tell what is the matter with IL -
ave must change the critic every

Russell was strongly OF the opinion
that such an arrangement would be
necessary to the happiness and safety
Of the critic, but he did not venture 10
say 30. He was planning TO be the LAST
critic on the list, in the hope that the
society would die natural death before
his turn came. But the subject Of
critics was dropped for the moment,
while the society went into executive
session and wrestled with tho question
Of names, and uses for the committees.
Russell was chairman, and the girls
other talked 10 him all at once or didn't
talk to him at all. When he detected
any thing like motion, he requested
vote which was generally unanimous
Affirmative because, by the time he
could call for the nays, the girls had boz
gun 10 talk about something else and
didn't hear what he said.
