pursued his course along its white,

1t was big, smooth stone faced
house, producto of the seventies, frowning
under an outrageously insistent man

out of long windows overtopped with
ornamental slabs. Two cast iron deer,
painted death gray, twins Of the same
mold, stood on opposite sides of the
front walk, their backs toward it
and each other, their bodies in pro-
file to the street, their necks bent, how
ever, so that they gazed upon the pass
erby, yet gazed without emotion. Two
large calm dogs guarded the top of the
steps leading to the front door. They
also were twins and of the same in
teresting metal, though honored be-
yond the deer by coats of black paint
and shellac. 1t was to be remarked
that these dogs were of no distinguish
able species or breed, yet they were
Enthusiastically dogs. The dulIest must

And yet there was one charming
thing about this ugly house. Some
workmen were inclosing large side
porch with heavy canvas, evidently for
festal purposes. Looking out from be-
tween two strips of the canvas was
the rosy and delicate face of a pretty
girl, smiling upon Eugene Bantry as
he passed. It was an. obviously pref

her eyes widened and frightened. He
swung along the fence with the hand
soonest appearance of Inconsistencies
until he reached a point nearly oppo-
site her. Then he turned his head as
if haphazardIy and met her eyes. At
once she threw out her hand toward
him, waving him greeting, gesture
which as her fingers had been near
her lips was little like throwing
kiss. He crooked an elbow and with
one, two, three military movement
removed his small brimmed hat, ex-
tending 1t to full arms length at the
shoulder level, returned 1t to his head
