course. They're the stiffest, most ele-
giant people in the whole town. And
to crown it all. papa went and bought
the next lot to the old Vertrees coun-
try mansion-it's in the very heart OF
the best new residence district now,
and that's where the new house is,
right next door to them-and l must
say it makes their place look rather
shabby! I met Mary Vertrees when
l joined the Mission Service Helpers,
but she never did any more than just
barely bow to me, and since papa S
break l doubt if she'll do that! They
haven't called"
"And you think if 1 spread this Cos
sip about Vertrees the First stealing
Dan1 Boone's gun, the chances that
they will call"
"Papa knows what a break he made
with Mrs Vertrees. | made him un-
derstand that" said Edith, demurely,
"and he's promised to try and meet
Mr.. Vertrees and be nice to him. Bob
by LamhOrn told Sibyl he was going
to bring his mother to call on her and
on mamma, but it was weeks ago, and
I notice he hasn't done it; and if Mrs.
Vertrees decides not to know us, I'm
darn sure Mrs Lamhorn III never
come. That's one thing Sibyl didn't
manage! She said Bobby offered to
bring his mother"
You say he is friend Of Roscoe's"
Bibbs asked.
ooh, he's a friend Of the whole fam
ily," she returned, with a petulance
which she made no effort to disguise.
'Roscoe and he got acquainted some
where. and they take him to the the
alter about every night. Sibyl has him
to lunch, too, and keeps" She
broke off with an angry little jerk of
the head. 1--WE can see the new house
from the second corner ahead. Roscoe
has built straight across the street
from us, you know. Honestly, Sibyl
makes me think Of a snake, sometimes
the way she pulls the wool over
peoples eyes. She honeys up to papa

Good heavens." said Bibbs, staring
ahead as they reached the corner and
the car swung to the right, following
a bend in the street SIS that the new

"Well" he drawled, I'm pretty sure
the sanitarium's about half a size big

And a moment later, as they entered
the driveway, he added, seriously:
"But it's bcautifulr'

ooh, Il, | mean she's so insincere, y
said Edith, Enthusiastically evasive
when it came to stating the very point
to which she had led, and in this not
unique of her sex.
Bibbs contented himself with a non
committal gesture Business is crawl

long, tremulous hand indicating a
vastly structure in course Of erection.
''The boarding houses come first, and

''Non' he exclaimed. "Who's all
that?"
"YOu know what l mean: the best
people. the old families-the people
that have the real social position in
this town and that know they've got
it,
Bibbs engaged in his silent chuckle
again; he seemed highly amused. Il

because if you thought about it you

"That's just bosh," she retorted.

we began to think of building out in
this direction. The right people in
this town aren't always the society,"
column ones, and they mix around
with outsiders, but they're a clan, just

"Their ancestors fled together from
many a stricken field, and crusaders

understood the first house was built
by an old party of the name of Yer
trees, who couldn't get along with
Dan'l Boone, and hurried away to
these parts because Danl wanted him
to give back a gun he'd lent him"
Edith gave a little ejaculation Of
alarm. "YOu mustn't repeat that story,
Bibbs, even if it's true. The Vertreeses
are the best family, and of course the
very oldest here; they were an old
family even before Mary Vertrees'
great-great- grandfather came west
and founded this settlement. He came
from Lynn, Massachusetts, and they
have relatives there yet-some of the
best people in Lynn

lousy.

rupted. Poor things! None of them

NO, that's just it, she cried. "And

sub! Lem keep is money; | keep my
black skin an keep out the ground"
Mr.. Jackson expressed the same
preference. "Yessuh, he look tub me
like somebody aWready laid out"
He fell silent at a rustling Of skirts
in the corridor. 1t was Mrs. Sheridan
hurrying to greet her son.
She was one Of those fat, pink people
who fade and contract with age like
drying fruit; and her outside was
true portrait of her. Her husband and
her daughter had long ago absorbed
her. Edith lived all day with her
mother, as daughters do; and Sheridan
so held his wife to her unity with him
that she had long ago become uncon-
sciOus Of her existence as q thing sep
arate from his.
Mrs Sheridan's manner was hurried
and inconsequent; her clothes rustled
more than other women's clothes; she
seemed to wear too many at a time
and to be vaguely troubled by them,
and she was patting a skirt down over
some unruly internal dissension at the
moment she opened Bibbs' door.
At sight of the recumbent figure she
began to close the door softly, with
drawing, but the young man had heard
the turning Of the knob and the rus
thing of skirts, and he opened his eyes.
Don't go, MOTHER" he said. I'm
not asleep" He swung his long legs
over the side of the bed to rise, but
she set a hand on his shoulder, re-
straining him; and he lay fiat again.
''No," she said, bending over to kiss
his cheek, Il just come for a minute,
but l want to see how you seem. Edith
said
Poor Edith he murmured. "She
couldn't look at me- She
''Nonsensew Mrs Sheridan, having

course, and you haven't got much

NO. he said, 81 haven't much

Edith must have a great vocabu-

That's all right. They told me to

''That's good,' she said, nodding.
''They mean for you just to build up

CHAPTER Ill.

It was gray stone, with long roofs
Of thick green slate. An architect who
loved the milder "Gothic motives had
built what he liked: it was to be seen
at once that he had been left unham-
pered, and he had wrought a picture
out of his head into a noble and ex-
ultant reality. At the same time a
landscape designer had played so good
a second, with ready-made accessories
of screen, approach and vista, that al
ready whatever look Of newness re-
manned upon the place was to it's adj
vantage, as showing at least one thing
yet clean under the grimy sky.
Altogether, the new house was a sue
cess. It was one of those architects
successes which leave the owners
yelled in privacy; it revealed nothing
of the people who lived in it save that
they were rich. In our swelling cities
rich families, one after another, take
title and occupy such houses as for
tunes rise and fall-they mark the
high tide 1t was impossible to mag
inc a child's toy wagon left upon a
walk or driveway of the new house,
and yet it was-as Bibbs rightly called
it-"beautiful"
What the architect thought Of the
"Golfo di Napoli," which hung IN it's
vast gold revel of rocco frame against
the gray wood Of the hall, is to be con-
jectured-perhaps he had not seen it.
Edith, did you say only eleven
feet?" Bibbs painted, staring at it, as
the white jacketed twin of Pullman
porter helped him to get out Of his
overcOat.
ELEVEN without the Frame" she eX-
planned It's splendid, don't you
think? 1t lightens things up so. The
hall was kind of gloomy before
mo gloom now!' said Bibbs.
This statue in the corner is pretty,
too" she remarked. Mamma and
bought that" And Bibbs turned at
her direction to behold, amid a grove
Of tubbed palms, a ''life-size,' black
bearded Moor. of a plastic composition
painted with unappeasable gloss and
brilliancy. Upon his chocolate head he
wore a gold turban; in his hand he
held a gold-tipped spear; and for the
rest, he was red and yellow and black
and silver
"Hallelujah!' was the sole comment
of the returned wanderer, and Edith,
saying she would find mamma left
him blinking at the Moor. Presently.
after she had disappeared, he turned
to the colored man who stood waiting,
Bibbs' travelling bag in his hand.
what do you think Of it," Bibbs
asked, solemnly.
GRAM replied the servitor. "She
mighty hard to dus'. Dus' git in all
'em wrinkles. Yessuh, she mighty hard
to dus'.'
81 expect she must be-" said Bibbs,
his glance returning refectively to the
black full beard for a moment. SIS
there a place anywhere could lie
DOWN.
"Yessuh. We got one mem spare
rooms all fix up TO- you, sub. Right
up stains, sub. Nice ROOM"
He led the way, and Bibbs followed
slowly, stopping at intervals to rest,
and noting a neavy increase in the
staff of service since the exodus from
the "old" house. Maid and scrub
