Rev. Allan w. Baillie has resigned the
pastorate OF the Fifty-seventh Street
Presbyterian Church and gone TO Trent

He is waiting for another call.
Mr. Baillie is a graduate OF Princeton
Theological Seminary. and was one of
the youngest pastors in the city. His
friends say he was promised a salary OF
$500 a year; but that $12 a week was all
he could get To keep the wolf from the
door. he went into the real estate busi>
ness as a side line. and with his own
hands he painted and repaired the house
TO which he brought his bride three
months ago.
The real estate venture failed. and the
congregation complained that he was
not giving enough of his time to pas
toral calls and other ministerial duties.
The members couldn't See how preach
er could be in the real estate business
and still give his congregation SI2 a
week worth OF services.
Mr. Baillie overheard the talk and

Personal Visits.

Personal visits are necessary in recognition of invitations to dinners. luncheons, breakfasts. balls or any other invitation to an entertainment which is limited to a selected num- ber of guests. One should always call within a fortnight after the function. A reception or tea is accounted a visit and cancels all obligations on the rart of hostess and guest. Form al calls in the city are paid be- tween three and 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon and the visit should be a very short one. It is always more com plimeniary and considerate to observe friends day at home than to pay her a chance call on another dsy.

CHAPTER V. THE PLOT THIcKENs.

THE FLOI THICkENS.
 At dinner that night met my hero face to face for the first time in eight years and for all his calling me 8 duffer q learned of this only recent ly), he was mighty glad to see me, slapped me on the back and threw his arm across my shoulder. And why shouldn't hs have been glad? We had been boys together, played hooky many school-time afternoon, gone over the same fishing grounds, plunged into the same swimming holes, and smoked our first cigar in the rear of my fathers barn; and it is the recollection of such things that cements all the more strongly friend- ship in man and man. We re- called thousand episodes and es- capades, the lickings we got, and the lickings the others got in our stead, the pretty school-teacher whom we swore to wed when we grew up. No body else had chance to get word In edgewise. But Nancy laughed aloud at times. She had been witness to many of these iong-ago pranks.
 What! you are not going to the ball?" I asked, observing that he wore only dinner-coat and a pair of morocco slippers.
 NO ball for me. Just as soon as you people hie forth, off comes this billed shirt, and shall probably mean der around the house in my new silk pajamas. shall read a little from

 "Charmed!" The counts r's were very pleasantly rolled. could see by the way his gaze roved from Miss An nesley to Nancy that he was puzzled to decide which came the nearer to his idea of womanhood.

 'Oh, then you have two brothers?"
 "Yes," said Nancy.
 "The dance is dying, Mademoisellc." said the count in French.
 "Your arm. Monsieur. Au revoir, Nancy"
 Poor Bobby!" Nancy folded her hands and sighed mournfully. Tt ap- pears to me that his love affair Is not going to run very smooth. But isn't she just beautiful, Charlie? What color, what style!"
 She's sumner. I'm forced to admit Bobll never stand ghost of show against that Russian. He's a great social catch, and is backed by many kopecks."
 "How unfortunate we did not know that she would be here! Bobby would have met her at his best, and his best is more to my liking than the counts. He has a way about him that the women like. He's no laggard. But money ought not to count with Betty. She fig worth at least s250.000. Her mother left all her property to her, and her father acts only as trustee. Senator Blanks house rents for $S.0O0 the season. It's ready furnished, you know, and one of the handsomest homes in Washington. Besides, I do not trust those foreigners, ,"-takihg remarkably abrupt curve, as it were.

 Never mind the B's; let us have the last of this waltz"
 This is not my own true story; so I shall bow off and permit my hero to follow the course of true love. which is about as rough-going thoroughfare as the many roads of life have to offer.

CHAPTER VI.
THE MAN ON THE BOX.

At 11:30 he locked up his book and took to his room the mysterious bundle which he had purloined from the sta bles. It contained the complete livery of a groom. The clothes fitted rather snugly, especially across the shoulders. He stood before the pier-glass, and a complacent (not to say roguish) smile fitted across his face. The black half boots, the white doeskin brooches, the brown brass-buttoned frock, and the white hat with the brown cockade. Well, my word for it, he was the handsomest jehu Washington ever turned out. With a grin he touched his hat to the reflection in the glass. and burst out laughing. His face was as smooth as a baby's for he had gen. erously sacrificed his beard.

 Mir. Robert did not prove much of a prophet. Many days were to pass ere he reentered his brothers house.
 He stole quietly from tks place. He hadn't proceeded more thar . block when he became aware of the fact that he hadn't a penny in his clothes. This discovery disquieted him. and he half turned about to go back. He couldn't go back. He had no key.
 "Pshaw, I won't need any money. and he started oil toxsrd Connecti- cut avenue. He dared not hail a car. and he would not have dared had he possessed the fare. Some one might recognize him. He walked briskly for ten minutes. The humor of the es- capade appealed to him greatly. and he had all he could do to smother the frequent bursts of laughter which surged to his lips.
