Pontife, deux marches plus haut
que la noblesse romaine ct il

LIE Pape, d'apres la constitution
apostolique, a droit un revenu

NARROWING OF DRAKE

to say. Elliott saw it, and spoke quickly
as he took seat on the bench.
4See here, Drake! | know why you came
in | knew you'd come in to quit-that's
why | came in-I followed YOU" There
was no vestige of the hard, ugly smile. The
new, human note in his voice was still there,
and this amazed Drake as much as all the
rest of it.
Finally the younger man succeeded in
clutching the one thing that was just then
racing about in his mind. "Mr. Elliott" he
said, forcing himself to look steadily into
the others eyes, al don't know just how to
well, how to ask your pardon and-and tell
you what fool I've been-but guess you
know all about that" He smiled weakly.
"I've said whole lot of rotten, mean things
to and don't want you to-remem-
Der them. Let me apologize for all of them
now. You see, didn't get wise as soon as
| should have. You were right. | know you
can't understand but-I'm sorry"
understand? OF course | understand.
The look on Eliott's face was one Drake had
never seen before. ave just been waiting
to see how long it would be before you'd get
it. | only found out little while ago that
that house was crooked-you remember |
told you knew Ripley | never blamed
you for your loyalty to the Winship people:
a man must stay loyal to his house till he
discovers it's crooked. And then there's
nothing for him to do but what you've just
done
How'd you know I'd quit?" brakes
tone was all wonderment
Because | knew YOU was the prompt
reply. @Ive been watching you ever since
we've sold the Valley together. know what
you can do, just how good you are, and I've
made it my business lately to make your life

down there as unbearable as | possibly
could. | wanted to see how far you'd go,
how much of fight you'd put up. And,
Drake, let me tell you, it certainly was
good onel But l wanted you to learn that
you were working for lot of crooks, to learn
it all by yourself. l couldn't go to you and
tell you that in so many words, because we
don't do things that way You were so loyal
you didn't see it; SO | gave you a mighty
strong tip once. Remember what you
heard me say that night in the lobby of the
Miller House at Stockdale? Well, | intended
you to overhear it. | saw you come in, and
| waited till you were near enough to hear.
l wanted you to be sure to get it.
Bewilderment showed in every line of
brakes face. He was speeches.. Elliott
went on:
ave kept track of you all the time, and
when you came in today followed. | knew
you'd have a scene with Ripley, and
waited till you came out-then | followed
you here. Now listen to me-" He ran an
arm along the bench back until his hand
rested on brakes shoulder. @On the first
of the month GO in as sales manager for my
house | want you, | want men like
YOU" He rose abruptly and jerked out his
watch. "Now I've got to be running along
I'm late now. Just think over what I've
said, and come in tomorrow and We'll fix up
the salary and all the rest of it." He backed
off from the speeches. Drake. "And by
the way" he added, "you might say to the
missus and the kid that I'd like T. meet 'em
sometime. So long; see you tc morrow"
Drake, frozen to the bencn, watched
Elliott as he fastened down the walk. AS he
rounded curve and disappeared behind
bush Drake found his voice:
"Well, what do you know about that?"

terre box for fashionable night. They went
in for more dinners, the entertaining of a
few celebrities they kept up their Washing
ton and political friends, although Blinn
had never himself been in politics nor had
he held an Office of any kind, and for must
Gales and affairs of that kind. Miss Blinn
came out as Newport girls do without a tea
being given for her; nor was there big ball.
There were a few dinner dances, and the
next summer, when they had the same place
at Newport, large dance in tennis week,
and the cotillion, a necessary adjunct then,
was led by the most popular of the ultra
fashionable men, whose name is associated
with the triumphs of our dancing days.
Another winter, and the Blinns were
among the most conservative of the New
York conservatives Miss Blinn was at the
annual ball given by Mrs. Aston, then test
of ones position and the family had taken
their places in the seats of the mighty.
60, after all, it was not such difficult task.
~ But, then, if you will carefully follow
the narrative, you will see that it was prin-
cipally a matter of preparation Much of
my work was over when the Blnns first
began to bloom. 1t was perhaps more of
triumph for me than for them.
| have been accused of reaping vast bene
fits from the enterprise, from cutting down
the commissions received by subordinates
from tradespeople and pocketing them my
self, and above all of acting as an agent for
a certain wine house, and introducing their
vintages and making a neat profit out of it.

LAUNCHING THE BLINNS
Continued from page s

the buffet under huge marquee had gen
erous profusion of things to eat and drink.
There was plenty of champagne.
We had now acquired subscription to
Bailey's Beach, and we bathed in the select
sea. We went the rounds each morning.
This beach had just been started, and surf
bathing, which for time was not fashionable
at Newport, had been taken up again. We
had chartered yacht, and there were sew
eral short cruises for about fifty people.
had always a good band for dancing. | can
lay claim to being one of the originators of
the excursion party to that Coney Island of
the masses, near Providence, and we hired
steamboat and had jolly afternoon on
the water, with a clambake and the usual
doing the sideshoWs and the loops and the
rest of it.
Later again, before the season had really
ripened, when there was plan to get up
another garden party, and this for a charity,
our house and grounds were loaned, and we
had extra attractions from New York.
remember that we started the occult fad,
and one of the most advertised palmists and
mind readers was enga ed by US. His
prophecies were SO sensational as to cause
some uneasness among those who consulted
him. Unfortunately not few came true.
At q subsequent dinner given to a member
of the Presidents Cabinet, which made, as
the French say, a considerable recldme, this
seer went through his stunts in a marvellous
way. At the time it was known that our
host and the Cabinet member were parties
in one of the big political and financial
schemes of the day, and, as both were silent
as the proverbial clam and as discreet as the
Sphinx, it was arranged to set the mind
reader at them and thus lay bare their plan
of action. But they escaped to the piazza
and sat talking in the moonlight, and
nothing could induce them to come within
range of the magic power of the psychic
reader.
7 AM not going to continue this history of
the Blinns any more than to say that
they arrived. The first summer established
them. The succeeding winter they followed
up, under my guidance, the advantage they
had gained. They had made many friends,
and they had not appeared in the least like
either climbers or seekers for social position.
The very Indifference they affected was one
of their strongest cards.
In town they bought handsome house
in the new Fifth-ave. quarter facing the
park, and they were fortunate, through
the settlement of the estate of one OF the
Metropolitan stockholders, in getting a par
