CHAPTER ".
Mr.. Van Camp Makes a Call.

MT. van lamp WSkSs q Sall.
Aleck Van Camp turned from the
clerks desk, rather relieved TO find
that Hambleton had not yet made his
appearance. Aleck had an errand on
his mind. and he reflected that Jim
was apt 20 be impetuous and reluc.
tant 20 await another mans conve-
nience: at least. Jim wouldn't per.
ceive that another mans convenience
needed to be waited for; and Aleck
had no mind TO this errand
from the housetops. II was not a
business that pertained, directly. ell.
Their to the Sea Gull or to the coming
cruise.
He made an ~uncommonly careful
toilet, discarding two neckties before
the operation was finished. When all
was done the cravat presented a
stuffed and warped appearance which
was not at all satisfying. wen TO
Alexis uncritical eye; but the tie was
the last OF his supply and was, per.
haps. slightly better than one At all.
Dinner 1t the club was usually a
| dull affair. and to Mr.. Van Camp. on
this Monday night. II seemed more
/, stupid than ever. The club had been
ursasieed in the spirit OF the English
clubs. with the unwritten bylaw OF alb
solute aad i%nviolable privacy for the
individual. No wild or woolly manners
aver entered those decorous precincts.
No sla Dping on the shoulder. no hail.
fellow greetings, no chance dinner
companionship ever dispelled the aw.
full penumbra OF privacy that sur
rounded even the humblest member.
A mans eating and drinking, his com
ing or going, his living or dying, were
matters only for club statistics. not
for personal inquiry or notice.
The result of this habitual attitude
on the part Of the members OF the club
and its servants was an atmosphere
in which a cataleptic ft would scarce.

much less would merely mawkish or
absent.minded behavior attract atten.
ton. That was the function OF the
cIub-to provide sanctuary for per.
sonal whims and idiosyncrasies: of
course. always within the boundaries
Of the code.
On the evening In question Mr.. Van
Camp did not actually become silly.
but his manner lacked the poise and
seriousness which sophisticated men
are wont to bring to the important
event OF the day. He was az near being
nervous az a Scotch-American Van
Camp could be: and at the same time
an unwonted flow OF life and warmth
I'm his cool veins. He went 80 far as
To make a remark to the waiter which
he meant for an affable joke, and then
wanted to kick the fellow for taking
Il SO solemnly.
You mind yourself. George. or they'll
make you abbot of this monastery
yet," said Aleck. a. George helped
him on with his evening coat.
YES. sir. thank you. SIR" said
George.
He left word at the ONCE that in
case any one called he was to be In
formed that Mr.. Van Camp would re-
turn 10 the club for the night; then.
In his silk hat and generally shining
toys. he set forth to make . call. He
was NO stranger to New York. and
