gravely. his thin. shrewd face masking
itself with its usual expression OF

Newmark had known Orde only as
riverman. Like most fasteners. he
was unable to imagine man in rough
clothes as being anything but rough
man. The figure he saw before him
was correctly dressed in what was
then the proper Sunday costume.
"Oh. it's you, Mr.. Newmark" cried
Orde. I'm glad to see you" He led
the way into the hall and to another
brighter room. in which Grandma
Orde sat, a canary singing above her
head.

"u THINK I'll go see Jane Hubbard
this evening"" Orde remarked to
his mother as he arose from the
table.
Every Sunday Jane Hubbard offered
to all who came Sunday night
and the refreshments were
served by the guests themselves.
Orde found about the usual crowd
gathered. Jane herself. tall. deliberate
in movement and in speech, kindly
and thoughtful. talked in a corner
with Ernest Colburn, who was just
out of college and who worked in a
bank. Orde, standing in the doorway,
looked upon quite the usual thing,

length discovered that incoherent, des-
located. but persistent youth vis-a-vis

with characteristic pertinacity.
'.Well, Walter" Orde addressed him
genially, ''are you having good

His chair was planted squarely to
exclude all others. Orde surveyed the
situation with good humor.
"Going to keep the other fellow from
getting chance, I see."
"Yes, indeed!"
Orde bent over and, with great ease,
lifted Incubus, chair and all. and set
him facing Mignonne Smith and the
croquet ball.
