CHAPTER XIV.
AT the Country Club.

To show that she was not limited to
9ner own particular set in her choice
of guests, Mabel had asked Raridan,
whom she had danced with at the
carnival ball, to be of her party.
Chaperons were tolerated but not re-
uuired in Clarkson. For this reason
Mabel had thought it wise to ask Mrs.
Whipple, Whom she wished to i'm
press; and as she liked to surprise
her fellow citizens, it was worth while
in this instance to Yield something
to the conveniences. The general was
willing to sacrifice his wife, and she
went, giving as her excuse for taking
that Margrave girls bait" that she
was doing it in Evelyn's interest.
The coach rolled with loud yodel-
ing to the Porter door, where there
the guests settled into their places.
When the locked wheels ground the
hillside, and the horn was bravely
blown by an admirer Of Mabel from
Keokuk, it was clear to every one that
Timothy Margrave's daughter was
achieving another triumph. The
Young man from Keokuk was jealous
with the horn; a. four-in-hand
was not often seen in the
streets Of Clarkson, albeit this
same vehicle was always to be had
from the leading liveryman, and town
and country turned admiring eyes on
the party as the coach rolled along in
the golden haze of early October. The
sun warmed the dry air; and far
across the Missouri flats Its light fell
mildly upon yellow bluffs where the
clay was exposed in broad surfaces
which held the light. The foliage of
the hills beyond the river was lit with
color in many places; a shower in the
morning freshened the green things
Of earth. giving them a new, brief lease
