CHAPTER III.
The Bride.


Frederic fatty refused to meet the
steamer when she locked. AS If
swayed by his decision, Dawes and
Riggs likewise abandoned a plan to
greet the returning master and his
bride as they came down the gang
plank. But for the almost peremp-
tory counsel of Mrs. Desmond, Brood's
son would have absented himself from
the house on the day Of their arrival
Jones and footman went to the pier
with the chauffeur.
1t was half-past two in the after
noon when the automobile drew up
in front of the house and the fur
coated footman nimbly hoped down
and threw open the door.
James Brood, a tall, distinguished
looking man Of fifty, stepped out OF
the limousine. For an instant, before
turning to assist his wife from the car,
he allowed his keen eyes to sweep the
windows on the lower floor In one
of them stood his son, holding the lace
curtains apart and smiling a welcome
that seemed. sincere. He waved his
hand to the man on the sidewalk
Brood responded with swift, almost
perfunctory gesture and then held out
his hand to the woman who was de-
scending.
Frederic's intense gaze was fixed
on the stranger who was coming into
his life. At a word from Brood, she
glanced up at the window. The smile
still fingered on the young mans lips
but his eyes were charged with ar
expression Of acute wonder. He haC
never looked upon a more beautiful
creature in all his life. A kind of stu
pefaction held him motionless until h
heard the door close behind them; IL
the brief interval, however, picture
had been impressed upon his senses
that was to last forever.
She was slightly above the medium
height, slender and graceful even il
the long, thick coat that envelopes
her. She did not wear veil. He ha,

glad you came down early. The old
gentlemen are at breakfast now.
Come in"
He followed her dejectedIy, a per
ceptible drOop to his shoulders.
Mr.. Dawes and Mr.. Riggs were seat
ed at the table. Lydia, a trile pale
and distract, was pouring out their
third cup of coffee. The old men
showed no sign of their midnight ex-
perlence. They were very wide
awake, clear-eyed and alert, as old
men will be who do not count the
years Of life left in the span appoint
ed for them.
Good morning, Freddy" said they,
almost in one voice. AS he passed
behind their chairs on his way to
Lydia's side, he slapped each of them
cordially on the back. They seemed
to swell with relief and gratitude.
He was not in the habit of slapping
them on the back.
Good morning, gentlemen" said
he. Then he lifted Lydia's slim fin
gers to his lips. Good morning, dear"
She squeezed his fingers tightly and
smiled. A look of relief leaped into
her eyes; she drew long breath.
She poured his coffee for him every
morning. Her hand shook little as
she lifted the tiny cream pitcher. 81

give me some more bacon and another

"And thought it was nothing but
a shipwreck," murmured Mr.. Riggs
plaintively.
Frederic hurried through breakfast
Lydia followed him into the library

asked anXiously.

Half an hour later he was in thu
small bachelor apartment of two col
lege friends, few blocks farther up
town, and he was doing the thing h
did nearly every day Of his life in
surreptitious way. He sat at tn
cheap upright piano in their diso1

the presence of young men who pre-
ferred music as 1t is rendered for tn
masses, played as if his very soul wa
in his fingers.

couple of inches than the son, and yet
Frederic was nearly six feet In his
stockings Both were spare men,
erect and gracefully proportioned.
Brood gave out the impression of
great strength, of steel sinews, of in

steady, compelling and seldom alight
with warmth. His jaw was firm

M'GRAW LEARNED LESSON
snoderass and Murray Cases Helped
Him in Marquard's

Some may have wondered why
John MGraw didn't give RUDE Mar
guard his unconditional release when
he decided to part company with the
southpaw, as was the case in his deal
ing with Jack Murray and Fred Snod-
grass. Here Is the reason: When the
Giants asked waivers on Snodgrass
and Murray, every club in the Nation
al League waived in quick order.
Then McGraw gave these men their
freedom with no strings attached, and
at once both players were flooded
with offers from other clubs in the
league Snodgrass picked the Braves
as his choice and Murray went to the
ed to waive on Snodgrass and Maur-
ray, it would have cost each $500 to
secure them, as this sum is the waiv-
er price in the majors So the
Braves and the Cubs just saved
1900 iron men" by waving.
Marquard was the next Giant to
feel the axe, but McGraw had learned
a lesson by this time, and instead of
giving RUDE his unconditional release,
"Jawn" shipped him to Toronto when
all rival clubs waived on the south
paw. Marquard refused to go to the
International League, and While he
was baking on the deal the Brooklyn
club decided it could use RUDE. The
Giants are in the like amount by the
deal and McGraw has decided in the
future not to hand out any more UNI
conditional releases unless he is
doubly certain no rival club wants
the athlete in question.

Every newcomer in Vermont, es'
pecially if he belongs to the news
paper profession, thinks he is an
agent selected by providence to tell
the railroads how TO run their trains
and manage their other business.
With the exception of few miles of
the Boston and Maine system the
railroads of Vermont have hard
struggle to make both ends meet
almost as hard as that of the news
papers. No doubt the railroads
sometime deserve criticism and sug,
gestion to remind them that they are
public service corporations and not
private monopolies. but continual
heckling does more harm than good,

from Vermont railroads. but they are

During the first hundred years of
Vermont history beef was successful
ly and proftably raised in Vermont
though prices were less than half
what they are now. Conditions are
much more favorable now than they
were then for the market demand is
for young beef. Steers now do not
have to be wintrecd more than once
or twice nowadays to make beef and
for that reason there is every reason
to believe that beef growing would be
profitable in Vermont. To make it
so it will be necessary ito introduce

types in place of the milk and butter

tscated as result OF prosecutions

claimed their preparations would
cure ranged from tuberculosis, small
pox and diptheira to coughs, colds,
and scalp diseases
