CHAPTER XII

"HERE were boys in Cairo, of
 course, and equally of course
 some of them were bad. The
 \ bad ones used to do things to annoy Roberts Little Missie.r Robert proceeded to thrash them upon every proper occasion, and he did 1t with a thoroughness that left nothing to be desired thereafter. When Robert had thrashed a boy that boy went to bed for repairs. And be was apt to be ret icent as to where and how he had re- ceived his bruises. That was because Robert always ended a fist encounter with a warning.
 "Ef you don't want a double dose O dis here you'll perhaps obstain rum mentionn' de name O de culled gen. tleman wot gib 1t ter you"
 And the victim usually "obstained." If he didn't it was presently the worse for him.
 Robert had been born in the south He had lived there till his fourteenth year. He had there imbibed certain doctrines of pugnacious chivalry. There had been bred in his bone the convic- tion that 1t was every strong mans duty to protect every woman and to punish any disrespect shown to her.
 It was through one of Roberts bat ties that Guilford Duncan became ac- quainted with his hostess. Barbara Verne. That young woman very rare ly appeared in the dining room, and so the young yirginian had scarcely more than met her when one morning on his way to breakfast he came upon a battle between Robert-''free man of color" as he loved to call himself and three Cairo boys who had waylaid him in order to avenge the punishment he had given a few days before to one Of them who had playfully hurried half asbrsck through Barbara's kitchen win dow.
 When Duncan came upon the battle field Robert vas backed up against q dead wall Two of his adversaries had gone to grass. and the third was hesi ,stinx to prosecute the attack alone Seeing his hesitation.

A White Season Promised

We were repeatedly assured the coming summer was to be marked by gay colors, and now the same empha- sis is laid on the fact that white, is to rule.
 The strictly tailored white linen frock is style that has much in it's favor, and worn with the jaunty sailor of the day and embroidered linen parasol will constitute as fresh and charming a summer frock as could be imagined. much better than so much fussiness. The coats as rule are short, long. ones in wash materials mistake; the pony jacket is newer. but the eton holds its own. Tailors favor a strictly tailored white linen shirt waist, but frivolous woman goes in for the righteousness of the lingerie blouse
 In contrast to the tailored linen suit we have afternoon and evening

Duncan had no social lire at all. He never visited at any house except that Captain Hallam frequently had him to meal over which the two might talk business" or where he might meet and help entertain prominent men of af- fairs from other cities whose visits were inspired by commercial purposes far more than by considerations of a social nature.
 It created some little astonishment, therefore, when one day at the board ing house table Duncan said to those about him:
 q hear that you fellows are organ izing some sort of club for social pur- poses. Why haven't you given me a chance to join?"
 we didn't think you would care for such things. You never go out, you know, and''-
 What is the purpose of your organ ization, if you don't mind my asking"
 "Oh, certainly not. We're simply making up little group. which we call The Coterie,' to have few danc- ing parties and amateur concerts and the like in the big hotel dining room during the winter. We've a notion that the young people of Cairo ought to know each other better. Our idea is to promote social intercourse, and so we're all chipping in to pay the cost which won't be much"
 Well, may chip in with the restT
 Seeing glad assent in every counte- nance, he held out his hand for the subscription paper and put down his name for just double the largest sub- scription on 1t. Then, passing it back, he said:
 T think may be able to secure some support for so good an undertaking from the business men of the city and from others-the lawyers, doctors and the like"
 He did what he could, and what he could was much. The solid men, when he brought the subject to their atten- tion, felt that this was an extension of that work of Duncan's for the bet torment of the town, which they so heartily approved. They subscribed freely to the expense, and, better still, they lent personal countenance to the entertainments.
 Guilford Duncan also attended one of the entertainments, though it had been his fixed purpose not to do so. The reason was that Guilford Duncan was altogether human and a full blooded young man. From the time of his ar rival at Cairo until now he had not had any association with women. When such association came to him he accepted 1t as a boon without relax ing in any degree his devotion to af fairs.

Hats and Other Fashion Matters

Generally woman looks at her hat squarely in front and at her behatted self from that point of view, when real ly that is the least important to consider. Most of the people that are to gaze upon your headgear will view it from the side or back. To-day the milliners seem to realize this fact, for to-day most of the trimming is piled in the back and curls up from the side. One sees not few plumes coming out from one side, falling over the hair at the back and then mounting on the other side. Yards and yards of ribbon adorn the back bandeau. and flowers are massed high in the rear

back and front. This suggestion may prove welcome just now. when an ef. fort is made for the low neck even on street blouse. Chemisettes and cuffs may be made of fine kerchiefs, and many lace treasure is to-day turned from its former use to help out in trimming. Sometimes the kerchies need not be cut, may be cunningly dis posed without this sacrifice. Shadow embroidery is effective on sheer ma. terial, and as understand is not very difficult to make. Crochet lace of every kind has been restored to favor with vengeance, and one sees beau. tiful turnover collars and cuffs of Irish crochet. l.-

"Why do you not include the south in
 your Teckontngf"
 not long before the room of the young virginian became a center of good in- fiuence among the young men of the town.
 Cairo was an Ill organized communi- ty at that time. The great majority of it's people were newcomers from all quarters of the country. who had as yet scarcely learned to know each oth- CT. War operations had filled the town for several years past with shifting crowds of adventures of all sorts. who found in disturbed conditions their op- portunity 10 live by prey. There were gambling houses and other evil resorts in dangerous numbers. where soldiers and discharged soldiers on their way through the place were tempted 10 their ruin by every lure of vice and every ease of opportunity to 70 astray.
 The solid men depIored these condi- tions. but were as yet powerlsss to bet ter them After the rush of discharged soldiers through the town ceased the evil influences began to operate more directly upon the clerks and other young men of the city itself

CHAPTER X,

Cf1AFIEh A.
 ~ URING all this time Guilford
 Duncan had been taking his
 meals at the little boarding 0 house of Mrs. Deming The other boarders, dozen in all perhaps, did not interest him at first, and for a time he took his meals in silence, ex- cept for courteous good mornings" and good evenings" His table com panions were mainly young clerks of various grades, with whose ideas and aspirations young Duncan was very slightly In sympathy.
 After a time, however, he decided that 1t was his duty to cultivate ac- quaintance with these table compan- ions, in whom he recognized private soldiers in the great army of work the men upon whom the commanders of all degrees must rely for the execu- ton of their plans.
 Accordingly, Duncan began to take an active part in the conversations go- ing on about him, and little by little he injected so much of interest into them that whenever he spoke he was listened to with special attention. Without assuming superiority of any kind, he came to be recognized as in fact superior. He came to be sort of autocrat of the breakfast table, direct ing the conversations there into new channels and better ones.
 It was his practice to buy and read all the magazines as they appeared, including the particularly interesting eclectic periodicals of that time, in which the best European thought was fairly represented.
 His reading furnished him many in- teresting themes for table talk, and presently the brightest ones among his companions there began to question him further concerning the subjects he thus mentioned After a little while some of them occasionally borrowed reading matter of him by way of still further satisfying their interest in the matters of which he talked at table.
 A little later still these brighter young men one by one began to visit Duncan's room in the evenings. In the free and easy fashion of that time and region he made them welcome without permitting their coming or go- ing to disturb his own evening occu- pations in any serious way. His room was very large, we'll warmed and abundantly lighted, for he had almost passion for light There was al- ways litter of new magazines, week. ly periodicals and the like on the big table in the center of the room, and there were always piles of older ones in the big closet Still further, there was a stand of bookshelves which was beginning to be crowded with books bought one by one as they came out or as Duncan felt the need of them. Lit erature was the young mans only ex- travagance, and that was not a very expensive one.
 Welcome. Help yourself. Read what you like and you won't disturb me-" That was the spirit of his greeting to all these, his friends, when ever they entered bis door, end it was
