Without being his confidante-or even his
associate-she had since her mothers
death no other experience; youthfully
alive to the Importance of their wealth,
it seemed to her, however, only a natural
result of being his daughter. she smiled
vaguely and little impatiently Ihey
might have talked to her about herself
it was a little tireSome to always hav"
to answer questions about her Pepper.
Nevertheless. she awaited herself OF Mrs.
Windibrook's invitation to go into the
garden and see the new summer house
that had been put mp among the pines,
and gradually diverted her hostess con-
versatiom into gossip of the town. If ut
was somewhat lugubrious and hesltat-
ing it was, however q relief to Chssy
and bearing chiefly upon the vicissl-
tlIdes of others, gave the young girl the
comforting glow of comparison.
Touching the complexion of the Sc
camp girls, Mrs Windfbrook attributed
it to their great privations i'm the alkali

dibrook. ''when their father was i'll
with fever and ague, they drove the cat

full poisonous dust, and when they got
there their lips were cracked and bleed

and Mamie Secamp's hair. which used
to be a beautiful brown like your owut

don't suit them," said Cissy impatient
~. Never mind, dear" said Mrs. Win
dibrook ambiguously Il suppose they
will have their reward Nor was the
young engineer discussed in a lighter
vein. 1T pains me dreadfully to see
that young man working with the com
mon laborers and giving himself no
rest, just because he says he wants TO
know exactly how the thing is done,
and why the old work failed" she re-
marked sadly when Mr.. Windibrook
knew he was the son of Judge Master

of course, to be civil, but somehow

Canada City Press 1t seemed provok-
ing, as she knew her cheeks were glowing
from her romp and was conscious that
she was looking her best. however, the
Secamps cottage was just before her,
and the girls were surt to be ON the look
out! She shook out her skirts and
Strengthened her pretty little figure as
she approached the house. But to her
surprise, her coming had evidently been
anticipated by them, and they were act
ually-and ectedly-awaiting her
behind the low white-washed garden
paEngs! As she neared them they burst
into a shrill discordant laugh, so full of
irony, gratified malice, and mean eXul-
tation that Cissy was for a moment
startled. But only for a moment; she
had her fathers reckless audacity and
bore them down with display of such
pink cheeks and flashing eyes that their
daughter was checked and they remain
ed open-mouthed as she swept by them.
Perhaps this incident prevented her
from noticing another but more passive
one. A group of men standing before
the new mill-the same men who had so
solicitously challenged her attention
with their bows a couple of hours ago
turned as she approached and suddenly
dispersed 1t was not until this was
repeated by another group that its
oddly forced itself upon her still angry
consciousness Then the street seemed
to be full of those excited, preoccupied
groups who melted away as she adj
vanced. Only one man met her curious
eyes-the engineer-yet she missed the
usual critical smile with which he was
won't to greet her, and he gave her
bow of such profound respect and gravity
that for the first time she felt really
uneasy. Was there something wrong
with her hat? That dreadful, Hateful
hat, Was it TOO conspicuous? Did he
think it was vulgar? She was eager to
cross the street on the next block,
where there were large plate-glass win
tlows which she and Piney-if Piney
were only with her now.-had often
used as mirrors. But there was "a great

crowd ON the next block, and 1T was
congregated around the bank-her ia
theirs bank! A vague terror, she knew
not what, now began to creep over hef.
She would have turned into side street,
but mingled with her fear WAS reso-
luton not to show it-not to even think
of ito combat it as she had the hor-
rid laugh of the Secamp girls-and she
kept her way with a beating heart, but
erect head, without looking across the
street. There was another crowd before
the newspaper office--also on the other
side-and a bulletin board, but she would
not try to read it. Only one idea was III
her mind, to reach her own home before
any one should meet or speak with her.
For the last ineligible sound that had
reached her was the laugh of the Sc
camp girls, and this was still ringing IN
her ears, seeming to voice the hidden
strangeness of all she saw and stirring
her, as that had, with childish lndlgna-
ton. She kept on with unmoyed face,
however, and at last turned into the
planked side terrace-a part OF her IA
theirs munificence-tand reached the
symmetrical garden beds and graveled
walk. She ran up the steps of the YER
unda and entered the drawing room
through the open French window
CHANGING around the familiar room, at
her fathers closed desk, ut the open
piano with the piece of music she had
been practicing that morning, the whole
walk seemed only foolish dreams that
had frightened her. She was Cissy
Trixit, the daughter OF the richest man
in the town! This was her father
house-the wonder of Canada City!
A ring at the front door bell startled
her; without waiting for the servant TO
answer it she stepped out ON the YER
anda and saw boy whom she recog-
nized as a waiter at the hotel kept by
Piney's father. He was holding a note
in his hand and staring intently at the
house and garden. Seeing Cissy, he
transferred his stare to her. Snatching
the note from him she tore it open and
read in Piney's well-known scrawl:
Dad won't let me come to you now,
dear, but I'll try to slip out late to-
night" Why should she want to come!
She had said nothing about coming
now--and why should her father pre-
vent her? Cissy crushed the note be-
tween her fingers and faced the boy.

the extreme heat activity among the
