DILLAYE'S SECRET
BY MRS. JENNIE DAVIS BURTON.
Go

Miss Vardeyelt, do you happen to
know how Dillaye got such a start in
life? No? Then | must tell you the
story. Ascot had every advantage.
He was brought up by an uncle. a
very indulgent old fellow, but with
some strict notions, who turned sour
when the young chap began to reap
his crop of wild oats-for Ascot was
wild in his day, though he made it
short one. He was head over ears in
debt for one thing and in tight cor
ner, when the uncle decided to cut
him, and made his will, devising his
property to sundry missions and char
tiles. 1t was here that Dillaye stepped
In. He undertook TO show the old
Fellow the error of his ways and to
plead the cause OF the nephew, with
so much success that the break be-
tween them was patched up. and he
himself was given a responsible posi-
tion in the business. Understand that
Ascot had been meant for this place.
but by Dillaye's advice - everybody
knows that it was by his advice-he
took subordinate position, STAYED
off his liabilities by some means, and
is turning out we'll enough TO regain
his uncle's approval. And meanwhile
Dillaye is growing rich and swelling
the possessions of Ascot, senior, by
his judicious management of affairs.
It's my belief that he accomplishes
everything he sets his mind TO, and
must confess that / admire the man.
So full of energy, so breezy, so much
In earnest whatever he does-going
at 1t with all his heart and mind. If
l had TO be worsted in any fight, I'd
take it as an honor to be worsted by
Dillaye."
All this eulogy, delivered by one of
his friends, was possibly intended 10
have its effect with Miss Vardevelt
where her two rival suitors were CON
cerned, but what woman ever vet
loved in accordance with reason? Not
Miss Vardevelt, certainly, who had
been little spoiled. and was fond of
having her own way to the disappoint- |
ment of others, or the next scene |
have TO record would not have &C
eurred.
