Of course, the Bretts pushed the fashion to the
limit, and it had happened, on one particular occa-
sion, that Guyon Trevor had been compelled from
the byways and hedges. Guyon Trevor reported
for The Argus; but he had got into somebody's
magazine with story that marked HIM tor the
slaughter. Guyon never knew how he had found
himself at the Bretts's table. The invitation came
through Billy Slayden, whom | rather imagine old
Brett had chartered to do the inviting. Slayden
told Trevor lot about how the BrettS admired the
Somebody" story, and partly for JOY in his hrst-
born, partly from adventurOusness, and altogether
thoughtlessly, Trevor accepted. He regretted the
acceptance almost at once but it seemed too late
then. He did not want to lie out of it, 50 he went

nous verdict that old Brett got his moneys worth,
and Trevor was the only dissentient.
He felt thoroughly uncomfortable and out of
place through the whole affair. He had not realized
what a roaring farce it to be until the game be-
gan, and then there literally no escape. To

too inexperienced to carry off the situation-f in

looked grim and unhappy sulked, as Slayden
described it-and even refused to CRAFTY the unanl
nous demand to know how he came to produce that
stunning but unwritten novel, The Cherub at the
Window and the Wolf at the Door, which old Brett
had read with so much pleasure"
1t was when foundering red-faced in this refusal
that he caught Marion Bretts eyes looking up from
the other end of the table and he remembered think
ing that they were nice eyes, set far part and having
in their depths sense of shamed understanding of
the whole business They had OWNED his feeling,
too, and were trying to thank him; but, being a
man and young he could not read much as that.
Afterward he had debated with himself whether,
under the circumstances, he would call, and had
compromised by leaving his card when he knew the

1t never occurred to Trevor not to accept Marion

seemed to have placed them ground of intimacy

hospitality.
Marion Brett was about twenty years old when
the survivor of this interesting couple departed
from the scene of their Pyrrhic triumph. They had
sent her to a fashionable boarding school because
that was what other fashionable people did with
their daughters and she had a bright mind and had
made the best of it. Then they tried to marry her
to a doubtful Russian prince, an impecunious Italian
count and disreputable English earl, all of whom
she escaped through measure OF cleverness and
common sense and several streaks of signal good
luck Later as have said, they died and left her,
an only child with list of excellent securities whose
aggregate values close to eight million

Perhaps there might have been several fairly

without attractions. She had la beanie de Didbie,

but her vein of common made her realize the

As a matter of course, it carried her too far. She

to be purchasable without dsCredit. The result was

Shortly after the organization,
Messrs. Abram Gaar, John NJ. Gaar
and William G.. Scott purchased the
interests of the Centerville stock
holders and it became a Richmond

The bank has had, since its incep-

business men and has retained. in

icy An important rule that has saved
the bank during panics and prevent
ed the usual difficulties, was that no
officer or employee should borrow any
of its money at any time.
Andrew Scott was made the first
president, and John b. Dougan, then
a mere boy, cashier With the as
sumption of that position began one
of the most useful and active banking
careers this country has ever known.
Mr. Dougan had practical charge of
the bank from its inception up to the
time of his disablement by illness in
1899
1t was at the time Mr.. Dougan be-

capacity of messenger. Within a
short time, however, he was given
additional responsibilities, becoming
teller of the bank and from that time

the institution has done its full share
toward its success. Mr.. Reid was
actively engaged with the bank until
ten years ago when his interests in

and since which time have placed
him among the eminently successful.
financiers of the United States. Mr..
Reid, though n resident of New York,
still retains the position of vice pres
