told her that no had made great mis-

main on friendly terms SO that he might
continue to improve himself under her
tuition and guidance.
Armida gladly consented and he was
once more welcomed to the Delaro cir

He did not again sec his father for
several days, and was therefore unable
to report, but fortune favored his plans
and ono afternoon when Eugene was
feigning hard study with Armida, Mr..
Blodger came bouncing into the room
and announced that he was going to see
the matinee performance ut tho Wild
West show and invited them all to &C
company him. Armida ut once accepted
the invitation and so did her mother, but
Eugene made the excuse that his head
ached.

headache away"
Still Eugene would not be persuaded
and Armida put 1t down to sulliiness.
The excursion was not to be spoiled,
however, by his refusal. Mrs. Delaro
suggested that he should stay OF home
and "keep house." rs she playfully
termed 1t. This was exactly what Eu-
gene wanted, and nothing could have
suited him better. So he readily con-
scented, and tho party went out leaving
him to act as he pleased.

denly took place near where they stood
and two men could be seen struggling
on the ground. Tho ono seemed many
years younger than tho other and he
was evidently holding on to the older
man with an embrace which he intended

two men TO see tho fight. but when they
