cabin? A lot of books that you like
some from the old garnet. I've saved
them to read on rainy days"
Peggy did not speak, but the blood
began to creep into her face, and she
looked wistfully across the water.
Then she smiled.
II didn't know you could save any
thing" she said weakly.
Come now, Peggy; that is too much"
81 didn't mean to hurt you. But you
must not forget Monty, that there
are other years to follow this one,
Do you know what l mean?"
Peggy, dear, please don't lecture
me-" he begged SO piteously that she
could not be serious.
'The class is dismissed for today.
Monty" she said airily. But the pro
fessor knows his duty and won't let
you off 80 easily next time"

Generosity has ceased to be a vir-
tue, then?" she asked coldly.
Generosity exclaimed Barbara
sharply. ITS sheer idiocy. Haven't
you heard the things people are say
ing? They are calling him a fool and
in the clubs they are betting that he
will be pauper within year"
"Yet they charitably help him to
spend his money, and l have noticed
that even worldly mammals find him
eligible" The comment was not with
out its caustic side.
"'rhat was months ago, my dear"
protested Barbara calmly. "When he
spoke to me he told me it would be
impossible for him to marry within a
year. And don't you see thae year
may make him an abject beggar?"
Naturally anything is preferable to
a beggar," came in Peggy's clear, soft
voice.
Barbara hesitated only a moment.
well. you must admit, Miss Gray,
that 1t shows a shameful lack of char
acter How could any girl be happy
with man like that? And, after all,
one must look out for ones own fate"
Undoubtedly" replied Peggy, but
many thoughts were dashng through
her brain.
Shall we turn back to the cottage?"
she said after an awkward silence.
You certainly don't approve OF Mr..
Brewster's conductT' Barbara did not
like to be placed in the wrong and felt
that she must endeavor to justify her
self. HE is the most reckless of
spendthrifts, we know, and he prob
ably INDUCES in even less respectable
excitement"
Peggy was not tall, but she carried
her head at this moment as though she
were in the habit Of looking down on
the world.
Aren't you going a little too far,
Miss Drew" she asked placidly.
at is not only New York that laughs
over his Quixotic transactions" Bar
bara persisted. Mr. Hampton, our
guest from Chicago, says the stories
are worse out there than they are in
the east"
ut is a pity that Monty's illness
should have made him so weak" said
Peggy quietly as they turned in
through the great iron gates, and Bar
bara was not slow to see the point.

n REWSTER was comparatively
well and strong when he re-
turned to New York in March
- His illness had interfered eX-
tensively with his plan of campaign,
and it was imperative that he redou-
BILE his efforts. Notwithstanding the
manifest dlsmay of his friends. His
first act was to call upon Grant & Rip
ley, from whom he hoped to learn
what Swearengen Jones thought Of his
methods. The lawyers had heard no
complaint from Montana and advised
him to continue as he had begun, as
surfing him as far as they could that
Jones would not prove unreasonable.
An exchange of kilograms just before
his operation had renewed Monty's
dread OF his eccentric mentor:
New York. Jan. 6. 10.
Swearsngen Jones. Butte Mont:
How about having my life insured?
Would It violate conditions?
MONTGOMERY BREWSTER.
10 Montgomery Brewster New York:
Seems to me your life would become an
asset in that case. Can you dispose OF 1t
before Sept %? JONES
To Swearengen Jones. Butte Mont:
On the contrary l think life will be
debt by that time
MONTGOMERY BREWSTER
To Montgomery Brewster New York:
If you feel that way about It, / advise
you to take out $500 policy. JONES.
To Swearengen Jones, Butte Mont:
Do you think that amount would cover
funeral expenses?
MONTGOMERY BREWSTER.
To Montgomery Brewster New York:
You won't be caring about expenses II 1t
comes to that. JONES,
The invitations for the second ball
had been ont for some time, and the
preparations We're nearly complete
when Brewster arrived upon the scene
of festivity. 1t did not surprise him
that several old time friends should
hunt him up and protest vigorously
against the course he was pursuing,
nor did it surprise him when he found
that his presence was not as essential
to the success of some other affair as it
had once been. He was not greeted as
cordially as before, and he grimly won
dered how many of his friends would
uc W luc Gnu. lie uncertain
ty made him turn more and more often
to the unquestioned loyalty of Peggy
Gray, and her little library saw him
more frequently than for months.
Much as he had dreaded the preten-
tious and Respondent ball, it was use
full to him in one way at least. The
profit side of his ledger account was
enlarged, and in that there was room
for secret satisfaction. The Niennese
! orchestra struggled into New York
headed by Elon Gardner, a physical
wreck, in time to make a harmonious
farewell appearance behind Brewster's
palms, which caused his guests to won
der why the American public could
not appreciate the real thing A care
full summing up OF the expenses and
receipts proved that the tour had been
a bonanza for Brewster. The net loss
was a trife more than $4,000. When
this story became known about town
everybody laughed pityingly, and poor
Gardner was almost in tears when he
tried to explain the disaster to the man
who lost the money. But Monty's
sense of humor. singularly enough. did
not desert him on this trying occa-
sion.
