ed out Of the office, leaving the aston
ished manager wondering what had
come over him.
AS he stepped off the train at LenOX
he was met by Professor Fullerton's
footman and was handed a telegram,
which read:
Willard Holcomb. Care Fullerton. Lenox.

convinced me. MARKHAM.
In the phaeton was Dora herself.
but there was a little uneasineSs in
with her. He would rather that he
had not received that telegram. lie
would rather that the fact that she
was to appear as the star in his play
should be purely on account Of his in
sistence and not owing to the fact
that lSuuloW Hdd uBDioNtu VI Y
On her side the greeting vas none
the less cordial. and when she told
him that Vavin was at the house he
cheered up considerably. for it seemed
to him that If he had struck the snag
that he scented this always more or
his kindly, protective attitude over
Dora, would be able to clear it up.
While he had known that Professor
Fullerton was a man Of some means,
1t was rather a surprise to HolComD
to find that he lived in luxury. 1t was
transformations luxury at that, purely
a much developed sense Of comfort.
The room into which he was ushercd
had the colors and the decorations
which he would have picked himself
He felt a little sense Of fattery when
he found that in the bookshelf in his
room there were the collected works
OF Vavin, both in French and English,
the latter part Of which he resented.
On the dressing table was a volume
OF Jules lie Mattress early poetry and
alongside 1t a pocket edition Of Emer-
sons Essay On Compensation" Had
he dressed the room himself he could
not have done better.
Coming from this atmosphere Of
ease and hospitality, 1t was a distinct
shock as he sat down to dinner to find
a social atmosphere SO frigid. Three
or four times Vavin introduced tn
subject of the theater. Dora and HOl-
comb always vivid listeners. But
never would the conversation get n
negligible start but Aunt Cornelia
would interrupt for the purpose Of in

she felt she would hardly be able to
control herself.
"Does NJ. Vavin approve Of your ex-

lily and then took up with Mrs. Win
throp the matters of small social mo-
ment that she knew would interest
and absorb that lady and bring her to
the rescue.
Aunt Cornelia, however, refused to
be thus put aside.
"Did you notice how badly my broth
er looked tOnightY' she asked at the
first opportunity she had to regain the
conversational bone.
II thought he looked all right" said
Mrs. Winthrop.

the girl hotly and. fearing hat the
scene would become wen more dis
agreeable, started for the house as her
affectionate relative fired after her:

Holcomb eyed the three with grim
humor. With the exception Of Vavin,
who would. he felt, at least have SYM
pathy with his ambitions and inten-
lions, he knew here was opposition, in
nate as well as developed. The little
ruddy faced lawyer, with his small,
sharp eyes, his years Of good living
marked In every Iineament, showed an
almost professional antipathy for the
stage in the very suavity with which
he expressed interest in Holcomb's
work.
