CHAPTER X.-COntinued.

''T give you my word that I had for
gotten about her, cried the doctor, flush
ing. "One such pet may no doubt be
endured, but two are more than can
bear. Ida has a monkey which lives on
the curtain rod. 1t is a most dreadful
creature. 1t will remain absolutely mo-
tionless until it sees that you have for
gotten its presence, and then it will sud-
denly bound from picture to picture all
round the walls and end by swinging
down on the bellrope and jumping onto
the top of your head. At breakfast it
stole poached egg and daubed it all
over the door handle. Ida calls these
outrages amusing tricks"

"SaOt1gtng doaOn on the bcllrope and
jumping onto the top of y0aLr head"
''Oh, all will come right" said the
widow reassuringly.
"And Clara is as bad-Clara, who used
to be so good and sweet, the very image
of her poor mother. She insists upon
this preposterous scheme of being
pilot and will talk Of nothing but re-
volving lights, and hidden rocks, and
codes of signals, and nonsense Of the
kind"
"But why preposterous? asked his
companion. "What nobler occupation
can there be than that Of stimulating
commerce and aiding the mariner to
steer safely into port? I should think
your daughter admirably adapted for
such duties"
"Then must beg to differ from you,
madam"
"Still, you are inconsistent.
excuse me, madam, do not see the
matter in the same light. And l should
be obliged to you if you would use your
influence with my daughter to dissuade
her."
"You wish to make me inconsistent
too"
"Then you refuse|
81 am afraid that I cannot interfere"
The doctor was very angry. Every
well, madam" said he. ''In that case ]
can only say that have the honor to
wish you q very good morning." He
raised his broad straw hat and strobe
away up the gravel path while the widow
looked after him with twinkling eyes.
She was surprised herself to find that
she liked the doctor better the more
masculine and aggressive he became. 1t
was unreasonable and against all prin-
ciple, and yet so twas, and no argument
could mend the matter.
Very hot and angry the doctor retired
into his room and sat down to read his
paper. Ida had retired, and the distant
walls Of her bugle showed that she was
up stairs in her boudoir. Clara sat oppo-
site to him with her exasperating charts
and her blue book. The doctor glanced

red plush of the chair where the dress
ought to have been.
at is all torn," he cried. "What have
you done?"
my dear papa," said she, 'what do you
know about the mysteries of ladies' dress?
This is divided skirt"
Then he saw that it was indeed so ar
ranged, and that his daughter was clad
in a sort of loose, extremely long knick-
erbockers.
''It will be so convenient for my sea
boots," she explained.
Her father shook his head sadly. "Your
dear mother would not have liked it,
Clara" said he.
For a moment the conspiracy was
upon the point Of collapsing. There was
something in the gentleness Of his re-
Duke and in his appeal to her mother
which brought the tears to her eyes, ana
in another instant she would have been
kneeling beside him with everything
confessed, when the door flew open and
her sister Ida came bounding into the
room. She wore short gray skirt, like
that Of Mrs. Westmacott, and she held
it up in each hand and danced about
among the furniture.
II feel quite the Gaiety girl!' she
cried. GLOW delicious it must be to be
upon the stage! You can't think how
nice this dress is, papa. One feels so free
in it. And isn't Clara charming?'
"Go toyour room this instant and take
it OFF, Numbered the doctor 81 call it
highly improper, and no daughter of
mine shall wear it"
Papa! Improper! Why it is the ex-
act model Of Mrs. Westmacott's.
II say it is improper. And yours also,
Clara. Your conduct is really outra-

house. will stand it no longer. I may
be late tonight I shall go to the British
medical meeting. But when return I
shall hope to find that you have recon-
sidered your conduct, and that you have
shaken yourself clear of the pernicious
influences which have recently made
such an alteration in your conduct" He
seized his hat, slammed the dining room
door, and few minutes later they heard
the crash of the big front gate.
"Victory, Clara, victory!'' cried Ida.
still pirouetting around the furniture.
Did you hear what he said? Pernicious
influences! Don't you understand, Clara?
Why do you sit there so pale and glum?
Why don't you get up and dancer"
ooh, shall be so glad when it is over,
Ida. I do hate to give him pain. Surely
he has learned now that it is very un-
pleasant to spend ones life with reform
ers."
Gle has almost learned it, Clara.
Just one more little lesson. We must
not risk all at this last moment"
"What would you do, Ida? Oh, don't
do anything too dreadful. feel that we
have gone too far already"
''Oh, we can do it very nicely You
see we are both engaged, and that makes
it very easy. Harold will do what you
ask him, especially as you have told him
the reason why, and my Charles will do
it without even wanting to know the
reason. Now you know what Mrs.
Westmacott thinks about the reserve of
young ladies. Mere prudery, affecta-
ton and q relic of the dark ages of the
zenana. Those were her words, were
they not?'
"What, then?'
"Well, now we must put it in practice.
We are reducing all her other views to

"Why, Harold and Charles, of course "
"And the admiral and Mrs. Hay Den

ooh, no. That would be very old
fashioned. We must keep up with the
times, Clara"
"But what can we give them for sup

sob, something with a nice, fast, roll
licking, late at night kind of flavor to it
Let me see! Champagne, of course-an
oysters. Oysters will do. In the novels
all the naughty people take champagne
and oysters. Besides, they won't need
any cooking. How is your pocket mon
ey, Clara?
II have three pounds"
81 have one. Four pounds. Ihave no
idea how much champagne costs. Have

''Not the slightest"
"How many oysters does a man eat?"
II can't imagine"
''rll write and ask Charles. No, I
won't. I'll ask Jane. Ring for her,
Clara. She has been cook and is sure
to know"
Jane, on being cross questioned, refused
to commit herself beyond the statement
that it depended upon the gentleman
and also upon the oysters. The united
experience of the kitchen, however, tes-
titled that three dozen was fair pro-
vision.
"Then we shall have eight dozen alto
gether," said Ida, jotting down all her
requirements upon a sheet of paper.
"And two pints of champagne. And
some brown bread and vinegar and pep
per. That's all, think. 1t is not so very
difficult to give a supper after all, is it,
Clara?"
II don't like it, Ida. It seems to me to
be so very indelicate."
''But it is needed to clinch the matter.
No, no, there is no drawing back now,
Clara, Or we shallruin everything. Papa
is sure to come back with the 9:45. He
will reach the door at 10. We must have
everything ready for him. Now, just sit
down at once and ask Harold to come
at o'clock, and shall do the same to
Charles"
The two invitations were dispatched,
received and accepted. Harold was
already confdant, and he understood
that this was some further development
of the plot AS to Charles, he was so
accustomed to feminine eccentricity in
the person of his aunt that the only
thing which could surprise him would
be a rigid observance of etiquette. At
O'clock they entered the dining room of
No. 2, to find the master of the house
absent, a red shaded lamp, a snowy cloth,
pleasant little feast and the two whom
they would have chosen as their COM
panions. A merrier party never met,
and the house rang with their laughter
and their chatter.
lit is minutes to 49," cried Clara
suddenly, glancing at the clock.
"Good gracious! So it is! Now for
our little tableau!' Ida pushed the
champagne bottles obtrusively forward
in the direction of the door and scattered
oyster shells over the cloth.
"Have you your pipe, Charles?'
my pipe! Yes"
"Then please smoke it. Now, don't
argue about it, but do it, for you will
ruin the effect otherwise"
The large man drew out a red case
and extracted a great yellow meer-
schaum, out of which a moment later he
was putting thick wreaths of smoke.
Harold had lit a cigar, and both the girls
had ciparettes
