you'd be worth boot in hell to them

you're the worthy son of your un
worthy Matchmaking father would
make you welcome. Go ahead! Lord
but ! wonder what / ever did In the
old days to be punished by having a
canting reformer for son! Well
why don't you go over to them?"
Just as you say" answered Tom
with a philosophic shrug of the shout
ders. Good night"
Where are you off to, now?
grunted Blake indifferently, albeit
there was a CLINT of usefulness in the
half-shut, steely old eyes.
ITO the club. To dinner" said Tom
moving away.
ITO the club, hey?" growled Blake
OBTAINING him. "Huhl Afraid it'll
hurt your spotless reputation to be
seen dining here with a black
mailer?'"
you have a positive genius fol-
choosing the rottenest, most disagree
able thing to say" remarked Tom;
and there was a note of hurt In his
voice that somehow reached the far
hidden and tortuous recesses where
Jim Blake's battered old heart was
supposed to be.
WELL" .vouchsafed the father
grumpily, maybe that was just trifie
swift. Look here, lad he went on, a
soft, almost tender tone creeping into
his dry voice, as he laid his hand on
Toms shoulder, I'm the only father
you've got. And you may as well
make the best of it.
You're the only father / want, dad
But"
There! There!" hastily admonish

tenderness under a cloud of made-to
order Impotence, that's why / hate
to see you loading up your alleged
brain with these fool ideas about"
Let it go at that, dad" laughed
Tom.
| "Oh, all right. / will, If you like
| And you'll stay to dinner?"
why, of course" quickly assented
| Tom.
That's better" approved Blake
! NOW, run in and start with Mark
I'll be with you in a minute or two
And-say-if Mark and I should get
to talking politics at dinner"
Don't worry" returned Tom, smil
ing. I'm getting quite used to my
muzzle. But Mark won't be as likely
to be wrapped up In politics as he U.s.
ually is. Grace is coming down.

with pleasure. Good for her! When?'
Eat eight o'clock. But she didn',
bother to mention whether 1t was
eight this evening or eight to-
morrow morning. Mark was just 60
ing to call her up on long distance to
find out, when we happened to meet
! Standish. And suppose the prospect
of clash with Standish quite drove
minor matter like his wife out of his
thoughts"
You're wrong there" dissented
Blake. There's nothing on earth
can drive Grace out of Mark Robert
