Dorison had regained his sell poses

An angry reply leaped to- DoTof ~
tongue, but perceiving the aosurS,ry Of
aouarrel upon such insufficient grounds,
he walked out of the door.
II was some time before he cooled, for
he felt he had made himself ridiculous.
Indeed il was not until he recognized
the humor OF the situation-thae ne de-
sired TO punish the young man Tor nay,
ing himself been abSurd-that he could
laugh IL off. By this time he found he
had passed the store he wished to cal
at. and retraced his steps. Although he
endeayored 10 bend his mind 10 the CuSi'
ness he had in hand, he was not able 70
Danish that charming face, especially
those upturned eyes. Perhaps MS laiF
ure to elicit any information, ana ne yis-
tied the whole list, was due TO that
haunting face and to the memory Of the
pressure of that soft yielding form in his
arms as he bore it to the Sidewalk.
Tired out at the end, disguised With
his failure and blaming himself for hav-
ing done his work badly, ne returned 70
his apartments to prepare himself Ior
his evenings work. Indeed, he had bare
~ completed his dressing when Garo
was presented bearing the words, r
bert Clavering Eustace."
AS he directed his caller to be shown
M. he was conscious OF feeling OF ell-
ton, reason for which he could not sat
isfactorily give to himself. However
little time was given for self exsmina-
ton, for in moment Mr.. EuStace was
ushered into the room.
His caller was tall, slim gent!en.al,
whose sixty winters bore lightly uptp
him; gentleman OF elegant and COURT!
bearing, whose head was covered with
snow white hair, while mustache as
white swept across his face and lost it
self Ia soft, silken white whiskers. With
perfect breeding he stated the purpose
OF his call to be wholly that of thanking
Mr.. Dudley for the inestima6Ie service
rendered his daughter, and not only he
said, did he convey the thanks OF the
other members of his family, but OF toe
young lady herself, who, she was quite
certain, at the time OF the accident lad
not shown proper appreciation OF what
she had been saved from by Mr.. Dud-
ley's quick wit and ready hand.
All OF this overwhelmed Dorison, who
was really modest fellow, and. be tet
that shamefacedness at being. so much
thanked manly men ever GO. By a
strong effort be pulled his wits together
and met the courtesy in well bred
manner, avoiding the error OF treating
service the benefciaries regarded i'm
portant, as trivial, as i'll bred people are
so apt to do. This in turn impressed
Mr.. Eustace. They glided into a gem
eral chat of few moments, when the
caller arose and again renewing his dis
tinguiShed considerations, expressed the
hope the day was not far distant when
the young lady might thank him in peri
son, but in such general terms and id
such tone that DorisOn instantly ielt
that he would be a consumDate fool II
he were to take the expression to be
anything more than polite courtesy
He accompanied Mr.. EuStace to the
door, and fn doing so passed into another
light, giving Mr. Eustace for the first
time fair opportunity to observe bis
face.
Good heavens" exclaimed the old
gentleman, startled out of his proprietY.
What a marvellous resem blance. Sir.
are you related in any way to Reuben
Dorison?"
Too we'll disciplined in this direction
to be taken aback, Dorison replied:
THE gentleman is unknown to me,
"He is dead these eight years. lie
was dear friend of mine. Your resent
blance to him, at the age you are now, Is
something wonderful. Indeed, inter-
vening years pass away, and as / tall
with you seem to talk with him. You
have his voice, his bearing, his vary
tricks of manner, even your smile is his,
Upon my word it is wonderful"
1t required all the self control DorisOn
could summon to prevent betrayal Of
himself in this outburst. Murmurins
something about strong resemblance
being not uncommon in this world, be
bowed his visitor out.
Ole waited long enough to permit Mr..
EuStace TO depart from the street, and
went out troubled and worried.
