Mrs. Geraldine Banks. widow. OF
Chicago and her daughter Dorothy
were at Rye Beach. Mrs. Banks had
enough money-something like three
millions-to make her last name emin-
entity fitting. Her father. who had
made a fortune in Transforming rank
had given her the millions outright
at her marriage with John Banks. now
deceased.
Father and daughter didn't see each
other often in the latter days. They
moved In different social circles. Mrs.
Banks had a great gray stone palace
within sound of the lashing lake
waters, while the father preferred to
live in something little bigger than
cottage under the very shadow OF the
chimneys and within smelling range.
so to speak, of the factory that had
brought him his fortune.
Dorothy Bna.,s was delightfully."-
pretty, aristocratic looking withal. and
as sweetly disposed toward humanity
in general as a girl possibly could be
whose mother was constantly remind
ing her of her station in life and that
the hoi-polloi were interesting chiefly
at a distance. Mrs. Banks wished her
daughter to marry, as she put 1t,
gentleman and n man OF lineage.
There came to Rye Beach that sum-
= mer young Peabody Standish of Boston.
J He was Harvard man and one whose
ancestors names had been borne on
the rolls of that school ever since
John Harvard's day. Now, Peabody
Standish was fine young fellow, athle
tic, handsome and with a manner
which New England fogs and frosts
had failed to chill.
Peabody Standish and Dorothy Banks
met. The Boston man liked the beauty
and the breeziness of the western
girl, and Dorothy. with never a
thought of what her mother had said
about aristocracy, liked the eastern
man for himself.
1t is perhaps needless to say that
Mrs Banks looked on approvingly.
The young fellow from Boston
fingered longer at Rye Beach that
summer than he had intended. He
knew In general way who Mrs.
Banks of Chicago was, for he had
bit of law business with Chicago
client in which some of the Banks
holdings had figured. He didn't make
any inquiries. Had he momentarily
felt SO inclined icok at Dorothy
would have checked him, for sne was
sweet and winsome enough to make
up for family skeleton in every
closet of a Chicago mansiont
Dorothy Banks and Peabody Standish
were engaged. Mrs. Banks and her
daughter were back in Chicago and
the marriage was set for the spring.

figure for a moment. then a pleased
look came into his eyes and he shouted
a rather peremptory Stop" to the
coachman. Standish jumped from the
carriage and in an instant was by the
side Of the old fellow on the sidewalk,
and was grasping him by the hand.
"Mr. Chandler. is 1t really you?"
said Standish. with a ring of genuine
pleasure in his voice and his eyes
fairly dancing.

The old man smiled little.
Standish beckoned to the coachman.
The man drove up alongside the curb
and Standish, turning to the old man,
said: You're coming home to dinner
with me tonight. l won't take no for
an answer. You must meet my wife,"
and Standish fairly forced the old man
into the carriage.

Dorothy came from a recess in a
dim corner of the room. Dorothy,

barring my parents, I ever had in my
life. This is Mr.. Chandler. dear"
Dorothy came forward. her face
showing white in the half light of the
room, and with a frightened look in
her eyes. Then the look fed, she
went forward. "Grandpa." she said.
and held out both hands. The old
man kissed her quickly with some
thing of yearning in his eyes.
There was something stern in
Standish's face. Dorothy" he said,
why did not know this?"
Dorothy turned. and the old man
quickly left the room. You ought
to have known, dear" she said. "I
don't know what to tell you. We

went straight to the room OF Mrs.

A thousand dimples smile for me:
or love the work. OF love the grace:
Beside the rest YOU cannot see
Upon her face.
Her pretty lips
Are full OF laughter and of mirth.
And all her words outwit eclipse:
Love makes his palace upon earth
Her pretty lips.
Her rounded throat
OF marble seems that lies beneath:
No mortal yet has dared to note
Save with the eyes of love and faith
Her rounded throat.
Her tender voice
So sweetly strikes on lovers ear;
And when she sings the notes rejoice
Once mere the harmony to hear
OF her sweet voice.

that likes cats. The full chest means
that she's healthy, the nose means she

she's kind and honest and unselfish.

say nice Kitty but you can see
they're viewin' 'em with bitter hate
and suspicion. If they have to stroke

far as it goes, especially regarding the

should not marry a girl before she Is
