also diplomatically informed Senator
Overman that IF II be the purpose of

He scowled angrily at the old

Henrietta turned sidewise that she
might the better converse with her
guest.
Il noticed by the papers that you
always make it point to spend Sun
days in the country somewhere near
New York, SO that you can return
quickly in your car. I suppose that
you really need the rest and quiet for
your weeks work"
Il never work when I can rest" said
the Watermelon truthfully.
That's right, that's right" agreed
the general, torn between a desire to
talk to the phenomenal young finan-
c1er, who in one night had set New
York all agog, and to avoid a smash
up with the stone walls on either side
Of the road. "Men are altogether too
eager to make money"

nowadays is money, money, money"

that stockholders are never happy

did, boyish smile. I'm lamb
Henrietta laughed. "But not fleeced,"
said she gaily.
"Not yet" admitted the Watermel-
on, wondering if William Hargrave
Bachelor was still enjoying his swim.
What you want to do, now that
you have made your pile" advised
the general, as the machine swerved
dangerously near a tree, 'is to leave
the Street at once. Invest your
money in U. S. government bonds and
buy a place in the country"
'You don't like the country your
self, father, except in the summer"
objected Henrietta.
That's all right, my dear, but when
man has three millions invested in
government bonds, he does not have
to spend all of his life in the country.
Your hast deal brought you three mil
lions, believe the papers said?"
Three, ten," chuckled the Water
melon.
"Ah, yes," sighed the general Mon
ey is power and every man wants
power. The general was Old, without
the time, training or opportunity to
make money, while this long-legged
youth with the ridiculous woman's
eyes, sat on the back seat and babbled
lightly of millions as the general
could hardly do of thousands.
"Ah, yes, three millions. Have you
ever lived in the country"

The big, cool dining-room, with tall
palms and plants, snowy tables and

week, he had essayed to be a waiter

broken more china than his wages,
which were withheld, could cover.
His complete Indifference as to what
people thought of him made him en-

wits were coming back with rush
