So the old man and the young man

SO the old man and the young man
made the round of the: Bines proper
ties. The former nursed forlorn
little hope of exciting an interest in
the concerns most vital to him; to
the latter the leisurely tour in the pri.
vate car was sportive prelude to the
serious business of life, as it should
be lived, in the east. Considering It
as such he endured it amiably, and in
deed the long August days and the
sharply cool nights were not without
real enjoyment for him.
They awoke one morning to find the
car on siding at the One Girl mine.
Coupled to it was another car from
an eastern road that their train had
taken on some time in the night. Per-
cival noted the car with interest as he
paced beside the track in the cool,
clear air before breakfast. The cur
tains were drawn, and the only signs
of life to be observed were at the
kitchen end, where the white-clad
cook could be seen astir. Grant, por-
ter on the Bines car, told him the other
car had been taken on at Kaslo juno
ton. and that it belonged to Rulon
Shepler, the New York tinancier, who
was aboard with party of friends.
AS Percival and Uncle Peter left
their car for the shaft house after
breakfast. the occupants of the other
car were bestirring themselves.
From one of the open windows a
low but imprisoned voice was ex-
hausting the current idioms of damna-
ton in sweeping dispraise of all land
areas north and west of Fifty-ninth
street, New York.
Uncle Peter smiled grimly. Percival
flushed, for the hidden protestant had
uttered what were his own sentiments
a month before.
Reaching the shaft house they chat
ted with Pangburn, the superintend-
ent, and then went to the store room
to don blouses and overalls for a
descent into the mine.
For an hour they stayed under
ground, traversing the various levels
and drifts, while Pangburn explained
the later developments Of the vein and
showed them where the new stopping
had been begun.

meeting, and any one of the ways it
had pleased him to plan it would as
suredly have found him nervously en-
barrassed. But SO wildly improbable
was this reality that not the daringest
of his imagined happenings had ap-
preached it. His thoughts for the mo-
ment had been not of her; then, all
at once, she stood before him in the
flesh, and he was cool, almost un-
moved. He suspected at once that her
father was the trim, fastidiously
dressed man who looked as if he had
been abducted from morning stroll
down the avenue to his club; that the
plump, ruddy, high-bred woman, sur
veying the west disapprovingly through
lorgnon, would be her mother. Shep-
Ter he knew by sight, with his big
head, massive shoulders and curious
ly short, tapering body. Some other
men and woman were scanning, the
hosting machinery with superior looks.
The girl, before starting toward
him, had waited hardly longer than it
took him to- eye the group. And then
| came an awkward two seconds upon
her whose tact in avoiding the awk-
ward was reputed to be more than
common.
With her hand extended she had ut
tered: "Why, Mr." before it flashed
upon her that she did not know the
name of the young man she was greet
ing.
The mister was threatening to
prolong itself into an ''r'' of excruciat-
ing length and disgraceful inality, an
#" that is terminated neatly by no
one but hardened hotel clerks. Then

'Mr. Bines, he said, coming up hur-
riedly behind Percival with several
specimens Of ore, "you forgot these"

Guided the girl with an eye-flash of
gratitude at the humble instrument
that had prevented an undue hiatus in
her salutation.
They were apart from the others
and for the moment unnoticed.
The young man took the hand so
cordially offered, and because of all
the things he wished and had so long
waited to say, he said nothing.
"Isn't it jolly! I am Miss Milbrey,"
she added in a lower. tone, and then,
raising her voice, Mamma, Mr.. Bines

ried and but half-acknoWledged intro

CHAPTER Nv.

A MEETING AND A CLASHING
AS they stepped from the cage at the
surface Percival became aware of a
group of strangers between him and
the open door of the shaft house
people displaying in dress and manner
the unmistakable stamp of New York
For part of a minute, while the pupils
of his eyes were contracting to the
light, he saw them but vaguely. Then,
as his sight cleared, he beheld FORE
most in the group, beaming upon him
with an expression of pleased and sur
prised recognition, the girl whose face
and voice had for nearly half a year
peopled his lovers solitude with fair
visions and made it's silence to be all
melody.
Had the encounter been anticipated
his composure would perhaps have
failed him. Not a few of his waking
dreams had sketched this, their second

they may be worn high or low, and
with or without the pompadour, mar
celled or plain, whichever suits best
the individual type.
One very attractive costume we
noted the other day was one consists
ing of a walking skirt and Elton coat
of one of the new checked cloths the
checks about third of an inch across
and in dull colors. In the somewhat
dim light the checks looked to be a
blue and brown, or green.
The little Elton coat hung out from
the figure above the belt, but long
enough to touch it if pulled in, and at
the top there was pointed-yoke ef-
feet, produced probably by the trim
ming. The sleeves were of medium
size, and the coat and the skirt also
were trimmed with bands of plain
cloth or else braid an inch and quar-,
ter wide. These plain trappings out,
lined hip yoke at the sides only, the
strappings then running down the
skirt, dividing it into panels.
The hat worn was moderately
large, almost fiat, oval-shaped affair,
with low crown. 1t was a sort of
castor brown, with a knot of blue or
green velvet at one side, combining
we'll with the color of one of the
checks in the costume. From this
knot white aigrette streamed up and
then back.
The purple velvet reception gown
shown herewith is superb example
of the use of Venetian point in a rich
cream, almost an ecru. 1t may be sus.
pected that that part of the jupe COW
cred by the coat is of soft silk or satin
and that the coat is tackled to it, for it
would be a sartorial sin to cover so
much exquisite and costly lace as a
whole skirt would necessitate if worn
with so long a coat drapery.
The coat of the skirt is cut into
cores, each overlapping the one in
front and each bit shorter as it goes
toward the front, until the two sepa-
rate in the front to show the lace
panel. Each gore of the coat is edged
with ermine, and the four large ca
bochons seen at the front of the blous-
ing top are of brilliants and amethysts
set in gold.
The sleeves have foundation of
heavy cream satin, finished at the bot
tom with deep bands of Venetian point
edged with velvet, and the upper part
of each sleeve is concealed by three
overlapping founces of point applique.
The waistcoat is Of the point lace, and
the little high stock and attached
pieces are of tucked white chiffon.

It is the plant of the woman of to-

at least it must be admitted that she

greater freedom of choice in gowning

at once coerced her friendliest conf
dence. These were the admissions she
made to herself. She OWNED him,
moreover, to be blend of holiness
and timidity. He was bold to the point
of telling her things unconventionally,
of beguiling her into remote UNDER
ground passages away from the party;
yet she understood; she knew at once
that he was determined but unspoiled
gentleman; that under no provocation
could he make a mistake. In any sit
uation Of loneliness she would have
felt safe with him-"as with brother
she thought. Then, feeling her
cheeks burn, she turned back and said:
II must tell you he was my brother
that man-that night"
He was sorry and glad all at once.
The sorrow being the lesser and more
conventional emotion, he started up an
awkward expression of it, which she
interrupted.
"Never mind saying that, thank
you. Tell me something about your
self, now. really would like to know
you. What do you see and hear and
