CHAPTER II-contInued.

Gail. too, was disturbed. While she
had laughed to cover the embarrass-
ment of her mishap.. she had been
quite collected enough to thank ALI
son for his ready aid; but she had felt
the thrill of that tensed arm. and it
had awakened in her mind an entirely
new vein Of puzzled conjecture.
Gravity with man invariably leads
him back to the consideration OF his
leading Joy in life. business; and the
first thing Allison knew he was indulg-
ing In quite a unique weakness, for
him; he was braggingi Not exactly
fiat-footed; but, with tolerably strong
insinuation, he gave her TO understand
that the consolidation of the immense
traction interests of New York was
about as tremendous an undertaking
as she could comprehend, and that, hav-
ing attained so dizzy a summit, he felt
entitled to turn himself to lighter
things, to enjoy life and gayety and
frivolity, to rest, as it were. upon his
laurels
Gail was amused, as she always was
when man of strong achievement
dropped into this weakness to interest
girls. She did appreciate and admire
his no doubt tremendous accomplish
ment; it was only his naivete which
amused her, and to save her she could
not resist the wicked little impulse to
nettle him. To his suggestion that he
could now lead merry life because
he was entitled to rest upon his lau-
rels, she had merely answered,
"Why?"
He dropped into a silence so dense
that the thump was almost audible,
and she was contrite. She had pricked
him deeper than she knew, however.
She had not understood how gigantic
the mans ambitions had been, nor
how vain he was of his really marvel
GUS progress. After all, why should
he pause, when he had such power in
him? She did well to speak slight
ingly of any achievement made by a
man of such proved ability. New am
billions sprang up In him. The next
time he talked business with her he
would have something startling under
way; something to compel her respect.

CHAPTER III.
The Change in the Reotor's Eyes.

The Change In the Rector's Eyes.
The grand privilege of Mrs. Jim
Sargent's happy life was to worry all
she liked. Just now. as she sat on the
seven chairs and the four benches of
the mahogany panelled library, amid
a wealth of serious-minded sculpture
and painting and rare old prints, she
was bathed in new ecstasy of painful
enjoyment. She was worried about
Gail! 1t was six-thirty now and Gail
had not yet returned from Luciles.
Mrs. Helen Davies, dressed for din
ner with as much care as If she had
been about to attend one of the unat-
tainable Mrs. Waverly-Gaites' annu-
ais, came sweeping down the marble
stairs with the calm aplomb of one
whom nothing can disturb and, lorg-
nette in hand. turned into the library
I'm so glad you came down, Helen!"
breathed Mrs Sargent, with a sigh of
relief. I'm so worried! Gail hasn't
come home from Lucile's!"
Mrs. Helen Davies sat beneath the
statue of Minerva presenting wisdom
to the world. and arranged the folds
of her gown to the most graceful ad-
vantage.
