The clergyman who was in the

addressed the congregation: "In
view of the solemuity of this occasion
and the sacred character Of this edi-

Rankin listened with respect and
close attention. His curiosity was al
most painful.
But his master did not satisfy it.
Now I'll bid you goodnight, Rankin.
Nightie, nightie!" Genially he waved
his hand at him, laughed, whistled an
other bar or two and deliberately made
the starboard tack toward the door of
his bedroom.
Rankin made no protest; he knew
better. when do. you wish to be

study: Nov, let me see-when do /

Thursday? Well, tell you what

After this entirely unexpected sug-

loved, he found a devious course into
his bedroom and Rankin, after he had
watched the door close, heard the key
turn in the lock. He sank into chair,
even his composure utterly destroyed.

Having performed this sacred rite
of friendship he regained the center OF

grand piano, upon which he placed his
elbow with a nesting search for COM
fort which seemed to indicate firm
decision to lean against the instrument
and go to sleep without delay. This
would never do, for when his slumber
became deep he would BIS sure to lose

Yes, Mr.. Jones; the butler"
This seemed to rouse his master and
he looked him over with some show of
interest. "a butler!" he exclaimed in
tones of deep reproach.. Aren't you
ashamed of yourself? When you were
little boy your mother had great
hopes of you-thought you were going
to be president of the United States,
or something like that"
Rankin bowed impassively; he did
not deny it.
Nov" said his employer with the
deepest of reproach. you've disappoint-
ed everybody. You've turned out to be
nothing but butler. You ought to be
ashamed of yourself!"
Rankin was not offended; instead
his air was that of triumph. "Ah, but

Wallace was a mid-morning visitor.
He came in briskly, inquiring of the
very much puzzled butler for the very
elegant apartments master.
He's not yet up, sir"
This apparently had not the least de-
terrent effect on the young caller. He
urged his firm athletic frame through
the short hall into the dim illumina-
ton of the flats reception room. 1t
was evident enough that he had no in
tention of departing. simply because
the master of the house had not yet
risen. Rankin understood that and did
not gainsay him Wallace had his
privileges as the best friend of the ten
ant of the fiat.
Shall tell him you are here?
yes" said Wallace firmly, and tell
hin that want to see him right away
It's very important. Do you under
stand?'
Rankin had already read the morn
ing's papers which were lying in a
neat pile on the table. He longed for
fuller news than theirs.
Yes, sir" But he hesitated slight
ly. Broadway was, an indu'gent mas
ter-still, strange things were happen
ing; he was doubtful. HE said he
didn't wish to be disturbed till Satur-
day, sir"
Wallace was not impressed. THAT
doesn't make any difference. You tell
him want to see him"
Eyes, sir" But the perfect servant
still hesitated, filled with curiosity
about the previous night. Wallace
might enlighten him. "He didn't get
home until five o'clock this morning
He attended some big dinner-party, /

Eyes; | was there was there! Go
on and call him! Tell him am wait
ing. I'm going to have heart to heart
talk with that young man."
Yes, SIR" said the butler without
fastening, for he saw that Wallace
had picked UP paper from the neat
pile he had made of all OF them upon
the table.
Great Scott" Wallace cried, dis
mayed. Here it Is on the front page?"
Il beg pardon. Mr.. Wallace, but is it
all true, sir?"

me here. I want to find out If. it's

engagement, am told, was announced
shortly after I had left. Were you up
when he got home this morning."
Yes, sir"
Did he talk of it at alp"
"He-couldn't talk so very much,
sir"
"Tipsy?'
Rankin nodded very solemnly.
"Stewed, sir"
Did he come home alone?"
He came in here alone. but a crowd
was serenading him upon the sidewalk
for ten minutes after he arrived. 1t
was the wedding march they tried to
sing. l couldn't understand why they
chose that until l read the mornings

well, what do you think of it, Ran

Rankin shrugged his shoulders. but
did not reply His instructive loyalty
to his employer, his perfect knowledge
of his own proprieties prevented that.

Here is one made of chiffon taffeta

simply a circle of silk about eighteen
inches in diameter, with rows OF

Underneath the band the ruffles are
placed after being gathered into ample
