Horace Wadsworth. Fortune had
the sensation of being astonished at
something she had expected to hap
pen.
Just before going down to dinner
that night, Fortune turned to her
mother, her chin combative in its
angle.
IT gave Mr. Jones a hundred and
fifty pounds out Of that money you
left in my care. Knowing how forget
full you are, I took the liberty of at
tending to the affair myself"
She expected a storm, but instead
her mother viewed her with apprais-
ing eyes. Suddenly she laughed mel
lowly. Her sense of humor was too
excitable to resist so delectable sit
uation.
"You told him, of course, that the
money came from me?" demanded
Mrs. Chedsoye, when she could con-
troll her voice.

the mother; but she looked again into
the mirror to see if her color was still
what it should be. "And whom does
he admire?" the Mona Lisa smile how
ering at the corners of her lips.
"You," evenly.
Mrs. Chedsoye thought for a mo-
ment, thought deeply and with new
insight. 1t was no longer a child but
a woman, and mayhap she had played
upon the taut strings of the young
heart once too often. Still, she was
unafraid.

mother?"
Still with that unchanging smile,
the woman received the stab. "My
daughter" as if speculatively, you
will get on. You haven't been my pu-
pill all these years for nothing. Let
us go down to dinner"
Fortune, as she silently followed,
experienced sense of disconcertion
rather than of citation.

on either side of the young chap in
pearlgrey. No one knew. Mother and
daughter, probably. Anyhow, they
knew something about good clothes.
Certainly they weren't ordinary tour
lists. They had seen What's-his-name
tip his hat; and this simple act would
pass any one into the inner shrine,
for the general was not promiscuous.
There, the first-half was over. All
down for tea! Thank goodness!
George was happy. He was proud,
too. He saw the glances, the mods of
approval. He basked in a kind of
sunshine that was new. What an ass
he had been all his life! To have
been afraid of women just because
he was Percival Algernon! What he
should have done was to have gone
forth boldly, taken what pleasures he
found, and laughed with the rest of
them.
There weren't two other women in
all Cairo to compare with these two.
The mother, shapely, elegant, with
the dark beauty of high-class Span
lard, possessing humor, trenchant COM
ment. keen deduction and applications;
worldly, cynical, nigh-bred. The stu
dent of nations might have tried in
vain to place her. She spoke the
French of the Parisians, the Italian
of the Florentines, the German of the
Hanoverians, and her English was the
envy of Americans and the wonder of
the Londoners. The daughter fell be-
hind her but little, but she was more
reserved. The worldly critic called
this good form; no daughter should
try to outshine her widowed mother.
AS Fortune sat beside the young COL
lector that afternoon, she marveled
why they had given him Percival AL
gernon. Jones was all right, solid and
substantial, but the other two turned
1t into ridicule. Still, what was the
matter with Percival Algernon? His
tory had given men of these names
mighty fine things to accomplish.
Then why ridicule? Was it due to the
perverted angle of vision created by
wits and humorists in the comic week
lies, who were eternally pillorying
these unhappy prefixes to ordinary
cognomens? And why this pillorying?
She hadn't studied the subject suf-
fciently to realize that the business
of the humorist is not so much to
amuse as to warn persons against be-
coming ridiculous. And Percival AL
gernon Jones was all of that. It re-
solved itself into a matter of values.

began George, who was no longer the
shy, numbering recluse. They were on
the way back to town.

He leaned over from his seat beside
the chauffeur of the hired automobile.
