Rather and son faced each other in
silence for a iull minute. Then the
latter's eyes fell.

busy"
Gerald slouched to the door. On
the threshold he turned and shook his
fist in impotent fury at the broad back
turned on him.
'I'll stay" he repeated, his voice
scaling an octave and breaking in a
/ hysterical sob, "Fll stay! But, before

this before the campaign is over"
Caleb did not turn at the threat nor
at the understanding door. He was
scribbling telegram to his New
York lawyer.

Enid Montmorency," he wrote Find
her and buy her off. Go as high as
$500 000."
Father Healy says, The sins of the
fathers shall be visited on the chill
dren, he quoted half aloud as he
finished; ''but when they are visited
in the shape of blithering idiocy, it
seems most like breach of con-
tract"
The Railroader was not fated to en-
Joy even the scant privilege of soil
tude. He had hardly seated himself
at his desk when the sacred door was
once more assailed by inquisitive
knuckles.
"The Boys haven't wasted much
time,' he thought as he growled per-
mission to enter.
The tall, exquisitely-groomed figure
of his new son-in-law, the Prince dan
tri, blocked the threshold. With him
was Blanche.
''Do we intruder" asked dAntri,
blandly, as he ushered his wife
through the doorway and placed
chair for her. Caleb watched him
without reply. The multifarious
branches of social usage always af-
fected him with contemptuous hope
lessness He saw no sense in them;
but neither, as he confessed disgusted-
ly to himself, could he, even if he
chose, possibly acquire them.

the prince, closing the door behind
him, and sitting down near the lit
tered centre table.
Keep on hoping!" vouchsafed Con-

you?
He could never grow accustomed to
this foreign son-in-law whom he had
known but two days. obedient, for
once, to his wife, and to his daugh-
ter's written instructions, he had
yielded to the marriage, and con-
sented to it's performance at the Amer
lean Embassy at Paris rather than
at the white marble Pompton Avenue
'Mausoleum,' and had readily allowed
himself to be convinced that the
union meant social stride for the
entire family such as could never
| otherwise have been attained
His wife and daughter had returned
| from Europe just before the reception,
bringing with them the happy bride
groom. Caleb had never before seen
a prince In his youth, fairy tales had
not been his portion; so he had not

/ doublet and hose, to guide him.
Hence his ideas had been more than
shadowy. What he had seen was a

ship between the two men. The re-
ception had taken up eyeryones time
and thoughts. Caleb had, however,
studied the prince from afar, and had
sought to apply to him some OF the
numberless classifications in which he
was so unerringly wont to place his
4 fellow-men. But none of the ready
made moulds seemed to fit the new
