RARE PRESENCE OF MIND

as Such.

Speaking of rare presence of mind
recently recalled to ex-President Taft
the case of handsome young woman
of his acquaintance. She had gone to
the railway station to meet man
friend of the family, and when he de-
barked from the train the young man
lost his head and impulsively kissed
her. The girl thought it the part OF
prudence to tell her mother of the af'
fair, upon which the latter was simply
Mortified.
You don't mean to tell me that he
had the impudence to kiss you?' she
cried And to think of the crowd at
the station! Why, my dear, what did
you do in such an embarrassing stu
ation?'
why, mother, l just kissed him

young woman. II wanted to give all

CHAPTER l..

The surprise which Gloria knew her
unexpected arrival would occasion
was even greater than she could inn
agine. Several things had happened
In Belmont recently to disturb David
Kerr, and he was in no frame OF mind
for further complications.
The stock-yards company was be-
ginning to hint at certain fayors it
wished extended, and with an election
coming on, Kerr was in no mood for
such concessions. Worse still, the
Belmont News had just changed own,
ership, and the new editor was not
displaying that subservient fealty
which had characterized all Belmont
papers in the past. Already the News
was swapping at his heels and asking
questions which were extremely point
ed To have Gloria descend upon him
at such time was too much for even
David Kerr. His mastery of the stu
alton caused him to have no great
fear for the stock-yard demands and
the newspaper cutlery, vexing prob
lens though they were, but Gloria

proposition.
Father, this is Gloria" explained
David Kerrs daughter when she had
established telephone connection with

are you?'

just came"
"How did it happen? l wasn't look
ing for you"
Aren't you glad to see me?'
Glad to see you? OF course l am,
but it's a surprise. When did you
come? How do you happen to be
here? Why didn't you let me know?'
Il wanted to surprise you,' she
laughed "Annabel Hitchcock's aunt

] had nothing else to do, so l came
home. Wasn't that right?"
Exactly, exactly. But it's bad
time to come to Belmont
81 don't care, I'm so glad to be
home. How do get out to Locust

you can't we'll wait there for me
to come in for you. Take a carriage
and tell the driver you want to go to
the end of the Townsend Park car
line. Wait for me in the drug store.
I'll get there almost as soon as you
do"
! Hurry, father, because I'm so anx-
ious to see you. It's been an age
since I saw you, and you know don't
know thing about Belmont. I'm just
dying to meet everybody, and then
I'll ask SOME of the girls out to visit

homes which denoted refinement as

This was not in keeping with what
David Kerrs daughter had been
taught about her fathers town. The
number of automobiles also surprised
her By the time she reached the
place appointed for her meeting with
her father there was not so much of
condescension in her attitude toward
Belmont
This changing viewpoint did not
mean diminution of enthusiasm.
More than anything else it spurred
her curiosity. She realized that the

least Didn't you see any men you
liked?"
81 liked them all, father, but l
haven't seen a foreigner I'd marry.
They're nice enough to talk to and
dance with and to bring an ice at q
ball, but no more than that. But moth
ing worries me; I'm going to stay
here and keep house for you

You see, amt ever had any women
folk around here, and the place bout
runs itself, 'cept what the niggers
do. You won't like 1t, I'm afraid"
"1'll like it we'll enough. You don't
know how I've envied other girls their
homes"
Il tell you what you do. Go on to
California now-In go with you, II
you say so, and stay till you git set
tied with some of your friends. Then
I'll come back and have the house
| fixed up SOS when you come again
it'll be just what you want"
Kerr felt that If he could get her
away he could see to 1t that she did
not return, even at the cost of his
leaving Belmont year or two sooner
than he had planned To this sug-
gestion Gloria did not accede.
What! go away and miss all the
fun of fixing up the housed" she exa
claimed. "No, sir, daddy. I'm going
to stay right here and make pies in
the morning, have teas in the after
moons and go to the theaters at night.
And you're going with me-" Kerr
made a deprecating gesture, but she
quickly overruled him. Don't say a
word. You're going, and tonight's
the night we start. We're going to
the theater tonight"
Then Gloria told of a girl she had
seen on the train who had come to
Belmont to a theater party. She ex-
planned to her father that no occasion
would give her better opportunity
to see the Belmont of which she was
to be part than that offered that
evening In all likelihood she would
meet a number of persons between
the acts. From her point of view she
suggested so many good reasons that
her father was afraid to interpose
any objection at the time.
