THAT is satisfactory to me.
Every well! We dine at : tonight.
and we shall expect you"
That Mr.. Wayland had made TO
mistake in his Judgment, Emerson had
soon been forced to admit, for the NOR
he saw Of Mildred's life the more plain
ly he perceived the barriers that lay
between them. Those months had
been an education to him. He had be-
come an integral part Of chieago's
richer social world. The younger set
lad accepted him readily enough On
the score Of his natural good parts.
while the name of Wayne Wayland
had acted Ike magic upon the elders.
Yet it had been a cruel time of proba-
ton for the young lover, who con-
~tinually felt the searching eye Of the
old man reading him, and despite the
fact that Mildred took nc pains 20 o.
ceal her preference for him, there had
beer no lack Of other s~uitors, all If
whom Boyd hated with a perfect hate.
They had never discussed the matter,
yet both the lovers had been conscious
that the old mans words were preg-
nant with truth. and after a few
months, during which Emerson had
made little progress in his profession,
Mildred had gone to her father and
frankly begged his aid, but he had re-
manned like adamant.
Il have been pretty lenient SO far.
He will have TO make his own way
without my help. You know he isn't
my candidate"
Recognizing the despair which was
possessing her lover. and Jealous fol-
her happiness. Mildred had arranged
that both of them, together, should
have a talk with her father. The re-
suit had been the same. Mr.. Waylald
listened grimly, then said: .
This request for assistance shows
that both of you are beginning t.
realize the wisdom of my remarks OF
g year ago"
I'm not asking aid from you,
Emerson had blazed forth. II can take
care of myself and of Mildred"
Permit me to show you that you
can't. Your life and training have not
fitted you for the position of Mildred's

shaved to the girl, that he idolized her,
that he regarded her as something
priceless, sacred. She. in turn. frankly
capitulated to him, in proud disregard
of what her world might say, as COM
plete in her surrender to this new
lover as she had been inaccessible In
her reserve toward all the rest.
And when he had graduated, how
proud of her he had been! How little
he had realized the gulf that separated
them, and how quick had been his
~awakeningi
1t was Wayne Wayland who had
shown him his folly. He had talked to
the young engineer kindly, If firmly,
being too shrewd an old diplomat TO
fan the flame of a headstrong love
with vigorous opposition.
Mildred is a rich girl" the old nnan-
cier had told Boyd, "a very rich girl;
one of the richest girls in this part
of the world; while you, my boy-what
have you to offer?"
"Nothingi But you were not always
what you are now" Emerson had re-
piled. Every man has to make ID
start. When you married, you were as
poor as l am"
Granted! But I married a poor girl
from my own station in life. Fortu-
nately she had the latent power to
develop with me as / grew; so that we
kept eve and I never outdistanced her.
But Mildred is spoiled to begin with. ]
spoiled her purposely, to prevent just
this sort of thing. She is bred tc
luxury, her friends are rich, and she
doesn't know any other kind OF life
Her tastes and habits and inelinations
are extravagant, to put it p~lainly-yes
worse than extravaganza; they are posi-
lively s~candalous. She is about the
richest girl in the country, and by
virtue of wealth, as well as breeding
she is one of the American aristocracy.
Oh! people may say what they please
but we have an a%ristocracy, all the
same, which Is just as well marked
and just as exclusive as IL 1t rested
upon birth instead of bank accounts
you wouldn't object to our marriage
If l were rich and Mildred were poor
Emerson had said, rather c~ynically.
Perhaps not. A poor girl can marry
a rich man and get along all right il
she has brains; but a very rich girl

His story finished, Boyd went ON tos

and gaze for a moment out into the
deepening twilight. When she an

It had been a tense moment for both
men. Their eyes a met dehaa.lY.
Lut. reading in the fathers face the
contempt that waited upon an unman-
ly decision, Boyd's pride stood up
stifiy.
No" he replied, Il can't let you do

1t was his air" OIL hers, in fact,
which had originally attracted him. He
recalled how excited he had been In
that far-away time when he had first
learned her identity-for the name of
Wayland was spoken soundingly In the
Middle West. In the early stages OF
their acquaintance he had looked upon
her aloofness as an affection, but a
close intimacy had compelled a recog-
milton of 1t as something wholly nat
ural: he found her as truly q patrician
as Wayne Wayland, her father, could
wish. The old mans domain was
greater than that of many princes, and
his power more absolute. His only
daughter he spoiled al thoroughly as
he ruled his part OF the financial world,
and wilful Mildred, once she had taken
an interest in the young college man
so evidently ready to be numbered
among her lovers. did not pause half
way, but made her preference patent
to all, and opened to him a realm of
dazzling possibilities. He well remem-
bered the perplexities of those first
delirious days when her regard was
beginning to make itself apparent. She
was so different. so wonderfully far
removed from all he knew, that he
doubted his own senses.
HIS friends, indeed, lost no opportu-
nifty of informing him that he was a
tremendously favored young man, but
this phase Of the affair had caused
him little thought, simply because the
girl herself had come so swiftly to
~overshadow. in his regard, every other
consideration-even her own wealth
and position. At the same time he
could not but be aware that his stand
ing in his little world was subtly al
tered as soon as he became known as
the favored sutton of Wayne Wayland's
daughter. He began to receive ,favors
from comparative strangers; unex-
pected social privileges were granted
him; his way was made easier In a
hundred particulars. From every
quarter d~elicately gratifying distinc-

ton he found that he had risen to
an entirely different position from that
which he had formerly occupied; the

DO you KNOW THIS?

The terrestrial equator is an imagi-
nary circle around the earth, equally
distant at every point from the north
and the south pole, thus dividing the
earth into two equal hemispheres. The
celestial equator is simply the terres-
trial equator extended upwards or out
wards to the heavens. The ecliptic Is
the apparent path Of the sun around
the sky. It is called the ecliptic be-
cause it is in that path that eclipses
of the sun and the moon take place.
The zodiac is an imaginary belt ex
tending about 9 degrees On each side
of the eciiptic. It gets its name from
the Greek word. zo-on, animal. the
allusion being to the names given by
