He tried to tiptoe, and this added fur
ther to his embarrassments but the fig
ures by the window were intent on the
song and did not hear him. He drew
slowly nearer one more step and he
would have concluded his journey. He
poised on his toes before taking it, but
the law of gravitation now asserted it.

himself upon Wheaton, and nearly knock

voice. "Jim-myv'
Evelyn turned quickly and shrank back
with a cry. Wheaton was slowly rallying
from the shock of his surprise. He grab
bed the man by the arms and began push
ing him toward the door.
Don't be alarmed" he said over his
shoulder to Evelyn, who had shrunk back
against the wall. "I'll manage him."
This, however, was not so easily done.
The tramp, as Evelyn supposed him to be,
had been sobered by Wheaton's attack.
He clasped his fingers about Wheaton's
throat and planted his feet firmly. He
clearly intended to stand his ground, and
he dug his fingers into Wheaton's neck
with the intention of hurting.
"Father!" cried Evelyn once, but the
song was growing noisier toward its end
and the circle about the piano did not
hear. She was about to call again when
heavy step sounded oitside on the walk
and Bishop Delafeld came swiftly into
the porch He had entered the grounds
from the rear and was walking around
the house to the front door.
"Quick that man there-I'll call the
others!' cried Evelyn, still shrinking
against the wall. Wheaton had been
forced to his knees and his assaiant was
choking him. But there was no need of
other help. The bishop had already seized
the tramp about the body with his great
hands, tearing him from Wheaton's neck
He strobe, with the squirming figure in
| his grasp, toward an open window at the
back of the glass inclosure, and pushed
| the man out. There was a great snort
| ing and threshing below. The hill dipped
abruptly away from the side of the Aouse
and the man had fallen several feet, into
a flower bed.
"Get away from here" the bishop
said, in his deep voice, land be quick
about it." The man rose and ran swiftly
down the slope toward the street.
The bishop walked back to the window
The others had now hurried out in re
sponse to Evelyn's peremptory calls ant
she was telling of the tramp's visit, whil'
Wheaton received their condolences, anC
readjusted his tie. His collar and short
front showed signs of contact with dirt
'It was a tramp" said Evelyn, as thu
others piled her with questions, "and HI
attacked Mr.. Wheaton"
where's he gomez" demanded Porter
excitedly.
"There he goes" said the bishop point
ing toward the window. II dropped hin
gently out of the window. The shocl
seems to have inspired his legs"
"I'll have the police" began Por
ter.
"Oh, he's gone now, Mr.. Porter" SAT-
Wheaton, coolly, as he restored his tie
Bishop Delafield disposed of him SO Wig
orousily that he'll hardly come back"
"Yes, let him 60" said the bishop, wip

CHAPTER V.-(Continued. !

i l. LII N.-lSOullnueQ.)
A few days after Evelyn Porter came
nome, Wheaton followed Raridan to his
room one evening after dinner Raridar
had set The Bachelors an example of
white fiannels for the warm weather, and
Wheaton also had abolished his evening
clothes. Raridan's rooms had not vel
lost their novelty for him. The pictures
the statuettes, the books, the broad couch
with its heap of vari-colored pillows the
table with its candelabra by winch Rari-
dan always read certain of the poets
these still had their mystery for Whea-
ton.
Going out to-night?" he asked with
show of Indifference.
Hadn't thought of it," answered Rari-
dan, who was cutting the pages of a
magazine.
Don't let me interrupt if you're read
Ing" said Wheaton. But l thought
some of dropping In at Mr.. Porter's.
Miss Porter's home now, believe"
That's a good idea." said Raridan,
who saw what was wanted He threw
his magazine at the cat and got up and
yawned. Suppose we do go?'
The call had been successfully man.
aged. Miss Porter was very pretty, and
not so young as Wheaton expected to
find her. Rardan left him talking tc
her and went across to the library, where
Mr.. Porter was reading his evening pa
per. Raridan had way of wandering
about In other peoples houses, which
Wheaton envied him. Miss Porter seemed
to take his call as matter of course
and when her father came out presently
and greeted him casually as If he were a
familiar of the house he left relieved and
gratifed.

they walked back and forth In front of
the house, talking gaily; and Porter
smiled at the eagerness and quickness OF
her movements. Saxton's deliberateness
contrasted oddly with the girls light step.
Such a girl must marry a man worthy
Of her; there could be no question of
that; and for the first time the thought
of losing her rose in his heart and numb
ed it.
Evelyn and Saxton had met the 9th
ers, who were coming up from the walks,
and there was a redistribution at the
house it was too beautiful to go in, they
said, and the strolling abroad continued.
great food of moonlight poured over
the grounds. A breeze stole up from
the valley and made a soothing rustic in
the trees.
Evelyn and Wheaton heard the sound
of the piano through the open windows,
and a girls voice broke gaily into song.
ITS Belle. She does sing those coon
songs wonderfully. Let us wait here un-
til she finishes this one" The sun-porch
opened from the dining room. They
could see beyond it, into the drawing
room; the singer was in plain view, sit
ting at the piano. Raridan stood facing
her, keeping time with an imaginary
baton.
A man came unobserved to the glass
door of the porch and stood unsteadly
peering in. He was very dirty and bal
anced himself in that abandon with which
intoxicated men belle Newton's discov-
cry. He had gained the top step with
difficulty: the light from the window
within the inclosure blinking. An ugly
grin spread over his face as he made out
the two figures by the window, and he
began a laborious journey toward them.
