A maid entered the room and pre-
scented a visitors card to Miss Carlisle.

as she read the name of STANLEY Pol
lard" The maid stood waiting in
Structions. but without a word Miss
Carlisle rose and walked past her and
down the stairs.
AS she approached the drawing
room doorway, her head went slightly
higher and she glided into the room
with stoical expression on her rather

at her entrance smilingly advanced a
step toward her and then paused
looking at her expectantly.
Mr.. Pollard ?" she began iciIv. but
Mr.. Pollard twice removed from the
family feud was coming nearer, with
a boyishly frank smile on his honest
face. How like his handsome father
she found him-altogether like him ex-

hauteur which had become more pro

Just then Virgie came through the
hall and, catching a glimpse of the
visitor, surprised her aunt by greeting
him in the most cordial fashion.
Why, what an unexpected pleas

''Nirgie," frigidly rebuked her aunt

Mr.. Pollard? Indeed Isn't that
surprising? rhy, auntie, this is the
same gentleman of whom 1 told you
just now-the one with whom I had
that foolish quarrel about the office

lucky, or we might have formed a sup
