Dyckman was polite TO the general
manager, but unhappily he knew moth
ing of Mr.. Farley's plans. Caleb tried
elsewhere, and the little mystery thick
ened. At his club, Mr.. Farley had
spoken Of taking a Cunarder from Bos-
ton; to friend in the South Tredegar
Manufacturers Association he had con-
fided his intention of sailing from Phil
adelphia. But at the railway ticket Of
fee he had engaged Pullman reserva-
tons for six persons to New York
This last was conclusive. as far as
it went; and Japhsth Pettigrass sup
piled the missing item. The Dabneys
and the Farleys made one party. and
Japheth knew the steamer and the
sailing date.

SeIfishness Prevailed.

Sweet little Frances and her mother
long have had an understanding that,
father being the completing member
of the loving trio, he shall never be
left alone upon the comparatively few
and rare occasions when business per
mits him to share the delights of the
pretty suburban home. Not long
since, however, a neighbor invited
mother and child to go motoring with
her; father was not included in the in.
vitation for lack OF room. The choice
of motoring or staying behind with
father was offered Frances, who pom
dered in silence for some time.

Some Children Enjoy the Diversion

despairing gloom--and partly to enjoy
the pretty spectacle, noticed one after
noon lately that although he had
bowed correctly before several little
girls in turn. he had failed to secure a
partner. She beckoned him to her
side.

The shy little daughter OF a dis

by familiarizing her mind with aIlur-

joyous sportiveness OF the dance; and
he appeared to have succeeded. Es-
