CHAPTER VII.

Judge Delno was popularity desig-
mated among his constituents 1.-The
ablest legal rcactionist in New York Z"
He was sternly reserved and uncompro-
misingly straightforward in his meth
DDS, which were refreshingly devoid Of
that double track system Of administer
ing so called justice wont TO be charac-
terized by the long suffering as shady"
and by its Iropagators as "only bust
nesslike"
He delighted in nothing so much as
the study Of human nature.
Studying human nature from disin-
terested point of view is che thing. Re-
marking its rise and fall from an inter
ested standpoint is another. Today the
distinguished chief justice found him
self in an undesirable state of mind, su-
perinduced by the latter contingency.
1t had been forced upon him by an argu-
ment he was holding with sutton for
his little daughters banda sutton so
entirely in earnest, so perceptibly
worthy of good woman's love, so
heathily built morally, mentally and
physically, that this past master of char.
actor in search found himself at the start
prejudiced, state Of things he always
at distance contemplated with out
spoken contempt, embodying, as it UNI
doubtedly must, no opportunity for hon
est and unbiased Judgment but which
at close quarters he found contained a
force hitherto unencountercd and hence
this he suddenly acknowledged, to
his inward Observation-Disclosures I'M
manageable.
Judge Delno never hcsitated to ey-
press wholesome aversion toward
having things sprung upon him. "
This morning "things" had thus agi-
tated his honor with a vengeance. He
was smarting with irritabiity at hav.
ing been taken unawares and rendered

to sing for me, so that l could perceive

Will you sing for me some day, Miss
Priscilla?"

with reflective, unhappy eyes suddenly

Then she exclaimed suddenly, with a
little restless sigh. "Let's 90 home now,
and l will sing for you. 1t is not very
late. There is IA big fire in the drawing
room, and-I hate it here"
Bidding Constance good night, and
leaving a message for their hostess, the
little party stole away under cover of
the starry night and, mailing passing
cab, returned to the Avenue MOntaigne.
Aunt Mildred went off to stir up the
maid and institute quiet little supper.
Priscilla stood in the freight, pulling
off her gloves Then she seated herself
at the piano, and, seemingly for9etful
of StornmOuth, began to sing.
Her voice was very sweet and fresh,
with a rich unusual quality in the me-
dunn notes which was sympathetic and
limited Of nature as yet unaware of its
strength.
Stornmouth listened silently.
When she had finished she rose and
went toward him.

looking from under it at the flames.
