Master. l will follow thee whthersoever thou
gOest
The Saturday matinee at the Audi
forum in Chicago was just over, and
the usual crowd was struggling to get
to its carriage before any one else The
Auditorium attendant was shouting out
the number of different carriages, and
the carriage doors were slamming as
the horses were driven rapidly to the
curb held there impatient by the
drivers, who had shivered long in the
raw east wind, and then let go to
plunge for a few minutes into the river
of vehicles that tossed under the ele
waited railway and finally went whirling
off up the avenue.
Now. then, 624p' shouted the Au-
ditOriu11l attendant. ''SiX hundred and
twenty fOur!" he repeated as there
dashed up to the curb a splendid span
of black horses attached to carriage
having the monogram &C. r. s." in
gilt letters on the panel of the door
Two girls stepped out of the crowd
toward the carriage. The older one had
entered and taken her seat, and the at
tendant was still holding the door open
for the younger. who stood hesitatlng
on the curb.
Come Felicia What are you wait
ing for? | shall freeze to deathl' called
the voice from the carriage.
The giTl outside Of the carriage hast
lily unpinned a bunch of English violets
from her dress and handed them to
small boy who was standing shivering
on the edge of the sidewalk, almost
under the horses feet. He took them
with a look of establishment and
THANK We, ladyr' and instantly buried
a very grimy face in the bunch of per-
fume- The girl stepped into the car
riage. the door shut with the incisive
bang peculiar to we'll made carriages of
this sort, and in q few moments the
coachman was speeding the horses rap
idly up one Of the boulevards.
''You are always doing some queer
thing or other Felicia said the older
girl as the carriage whirled on past the
great residences already brilliantly
lighted
Am 1? What have l done that is
queer now. Rose?'' asked the other,
looking up suddenly and turning her
head toward her sister
''Oh. giving those violets to that boyi
He looked as if he needed a good hot
supper more than a bunch of violets
It's wonder you didn't invite him
home with US. l shouldn't have been
surprised if you had You are always
doing such queer things Felicia
Would it be queer to invite boy
like that to come to the house and get
hot supper?' Felicia asked the ques-
ton softly and almost as if she were
alone
Queer isn't just the word of
course. replied Rose indifferently 1T
would be what Nine. Blanc calls outre
decidedly Therefore you will please
not invite him or others like him to hot
suppers because l suggested it Oh,
dear I'm awfully tired
She yawned and Felicia silently
looked out of the window in the door.
THE concert was stupid, and the
violinist was simply bore | don't see
how you could sit SO still through it
all, Rose exclaimed. a little impa-
tiently
II liked the music. = answered Felicia
quietly
You like anything l never saw "a
girl with SO little critical taste. -
Felicia colored slightly, but would
not answer Rose yawned again and
then hummed fragment of popular
song Then she exclaimed abruptly:
I'm sick of almost everything

exciting tonight.
