did his best to even up the balance.
The mother had been as romantic
as any heroine out of Mrs. Radcliff's
novels, while the father had owned
to as much romance as one generally
finds in a thorough business man,
which is practically none at all. The
very name itself is a bulwark against
the intrusiOns Of romance. One can
not lift the imagination to the pros
pect of picturing a Jones in rufTles

Mrs. Jones, lovely, lettered yet not
worldly, had dreamed Of her boy,
bayed and decorated marrying the
most distinguished woman in all lGu-
rope, whoever she might be. Mr..
Jones had had no dreams at all, and
had put the boy to work in the ship
ping department a little while after
the college threshold had been crossed,

sweet and gentle, had a will, iron IN

the boys first name should be George

from the cellar up. There were sew

length a truce was declared. 1t was
agreed that the boy himself ought to
have a word to say upon a subject
which concerned him more vitality
than any one else. So, at the age of
fifteen, when he was starting off for
preparatory school, he was advised
TO choose for himself. He was an ODE

CHAPTER !.
What's in a Name?

To possess two distinctly alien red
cornuscles in ones blood, metaphor
icallv if not in fact, two characters or
individualities under one epidermis,
is. in most cases, peculiar disadvan-
tage. One hears of scoundrels and
saints striving to consume one an
other in one body, angels and har-
5ies: but ofttimes, quite the contrary
10 being a curse, these two warning
tempcraments become a mans ulti-
maze blessing: as in the case of
George P. A. Jones, Of Mortimer &
Jones' the great metropolitan Oriental
rug and carpet company, all of which
has a dignifed, sonorous sound.
George was divided within himself.
This ne would not have confessed
even into the trusted if battered ear
Of the Egyptian SphynX. There was,
however, no demon-angel sparring for
points in Georges soul. The difficulty
might be set forth in this manner:
On one side stood inherent common
sense on the other, a boundless, ro-
seate imagination which was like
wise inherent-a kind Of quixote imag-
nation Of suitable modern pattern.
This alter ego terrified him whenever
It raised its strangely beautiful head

may see his prototype on the streets
dozen times a day, and you may
also pass him without turning round
for a second view. Young men like
P. A. must be intimately known to
be admired; you did not throw your
arm across his neck, frst-off. His
hair was brown and closely clipped
about a head that would have gained
the attention of the phrenologist. If
not that of the casual passer-by. His
bumps, in the phraseology of that

that we enter into the concerns OF
others; that we are moved as they

anything which men can do or suffer.

George was no milksop; but Percival

to it. He never wrote home and COM
planned. What was good enough for
his mother was good enough for him.
1t seemed just an ordinary matter
of routine for him to pick up French
and German verbs. He was far from
being brilliant, but he was sensitive
and his memory was sound. Since
his mothers ambition was to see him
an accomplished linguist, he applied
himself to the task as If everything
in the world depended upon it, just
as he knew that when the time came
he would apply himself as thoroughly
