CHAPTER II.
What Happened to Frederica,s Plan.

What Happened to Frederica's Plan.
At twenty-seven minutes after seven
that evening, Frederick Whitney was
about ten minutes before the hour at
which she had invited guests to dinner
not quite near enough dressed to
prevent feeling that she had to
hurry. Ordinarily she didn't mind. To
Frederick at thirty, the job of being
radiantly delightful object of regard
lacked the sporting interest of I'M
certalnty--was almost too simple a
matter to bother about.
But tonight she wished she'd started
half an hour earlier. Even her hus-
band discovered 1t. He brought in a
cigarette, and stood smiling down at
her with the complacent look that
characterizes a married man of forty
when he finds himself dressed in eve
ming harness ten minutes before his
wife. She shot a glance of rueful in
curry at him, and asked him what time
it was.
Seven twenty-five thirty-six," he
told her. She made no comment ex-
eept with her eyebrows, but he must
have been looking at her, for he want
ed to know. good-humoredly, what all
the excitement was about.
"You could go down as you are
and not man here tonight would
know the difference. And as for the
women-well, if they have something
on you for once, they'll be all the
better pleased"
Don't try to be knowing and philo-
sophlcal, and-Havelock Ellis, Martin

Appreciation Of Authors.

That Americans are not without APP
probation of their great authors
after the great authors are dead-was
demonstrated at sale in New York
city, where collection of 33 holograph
letters of Nathaniel Hawthorne, with
engraved portraits, brought $1,000 from
w. Ell. James. In the collection were
letters to Hawthorne and his family
from Emerson, Whittier, Bret Harte,
Browning, Eugene Field and Irving.
Two thousand dollars is good,
round price to pay for few old let
tiers, even if they were written by or
to an author of the repute Of Haw-
thorne. 1t is easy to imagine what
Hawthorne would have thought on the
subject if he could have foreseen this
transaction when he was writing juve-
nile classics like the "Tanglewood
Tales" and "Grandfather's Chair" for
S. G. Goodrich, and receiving in remu-
neration sometimes no more than $50
a volume.

to it that sounded always younger than
his years. What they heard the but
Ter say to him was disconcerting.
"You're terribly wet, siri"
Frederick turned on her husband a
look of despair. Hes walked through
that rain! Do run down and send
him up to me. I can imagine how he'll
look"
She was mistaken about that,
though. For once Frederick had over
estimated her powers, stimulated
though they Were by the way she heard
her husband say:
praise heaven you can wear my
clothes. Run along upstairs and break
yourself gently to Freddy"
She heard him come squudging ur
the stairs and along the hall, and
then in her doorway she saw him. His
baggy gray tweed suit was dark with
water and toned down by liberal
stipple of mud spatters. Both his side
pockets had been, apparently, strained
to the utmost to accommodate what
looked like a bunch of pasteboard-
bound notebooks, now far on the way
to their original pulp, and Topped de-
spondently outward. A melancholy
pool had already begun forming about
his feet. His face, above the dis
NAL wreck, beamed good-humored, in

big-featured strong, rosy face, and the
unmistakable intellectual power of it,
which became apparent the moment
he got his faculties into action, had
trick of hiding, at other times, behind
mere robust simplicity.
'Good gracious!" he said. 81 didn't

laughed. He had great, big laugh.

Bacon as Bait.

"We find batting our mouse trap
with bacon is a great advantage over
using cheese" advises woman known
as a good housekeeper. 'Not only
does the cheese become dry in few
days, but after mouse has once been
caught with piece of it you can sell
dom use it second time, for 1t seems
to retain the mouse scent and seares
the rest of them away.
Bacon, on the other hand, remains
savory and enticing to the end. New
er has our mouse trap been so popu-
lar. Since we first baited ours with
bacon, about two months ago. we have
not changed it once, and am sure in
that time more than twenty mice have
been caught in the trap"

"All very nice and reasonable" he
conceded, "but somehow the notion Of
Rodney Aldrich trying to marry a
rich widow Is one I'm not equal to-"
He looked at his watch again. "By the
way, didn't you say he was coming
early?"
She nodded. They heard, just then,
faint and far away, the ring of the
doorbell.
"Wait a second" he said. Lets
see If it's Roddy."
There was no mistaking the voice

quickly, II don't believe it's quite so

chat she waded away toward the curb.
He followed, then led the way to
a lee wall that offered, comparatively
speaking, shelter. Then, "Where's the
deception?" he asked.
On any other day, it's probable she'd
have acted differently--would have
paid some heed, though a bit con-
temptously, perhaps, to the precepts Of
ladylike behavior In which she'd been
admirably grounded. Today being to-
day, she consigned ladylike considera-
lions to the inventor Of them, and
gave instinct Its head.

his question: "The deception was that

"You deserve that, suppose" she

we could prove that paid my fare,
they'd probably think the conductor

hold Of me, but then-well, think what
did to him !"
He grumbled that this was nom
sense-the man had been guilty at least
of excessive zeal-but he didn't urge
her, any further, to complain.

now announced, .peering around the
end of the wall. "You will let me

somehow It left the professor feeling
that he had given himself away
There is nothing clolstrai about the
University OF Chicago except its
architecture. AS she went ont Rose
felt that the presence of fat abbot
or lady prioress In the corridor
outside the recltation-room would have
fitted In admirably with the look OF
the warm gray walls and the carven
pointed arches Of the window and
door easements, the blackened oak of
the doors themselves.
She wasn't fully conscious of 1t on
this March morning, but something
had happened that made difference.
IL she'd been ascending an lmpercep-
tible gradient for the past months,
today she had come to a recognizable
step up and taken 1t. Oddly enough,
the thing had happened back there in
the classroom as she stood before the
professors desk and caught his eye
wagering between herself and the
scrawny girl who wanted to ask a
question about Robespierre. There
had been more than blank. helpless
evaporation In that look of his, and
Ii had taught her something. She
couldn't have explained what.
She went swinging along alone, her
shoulders back, confronting the warm
March wind, drawing long breaths into
her good deep chest. She had Just
had, psychlcally speaking, a birthday.
She played wonderful game of
that afternoon, and 1t was
after five o'clock when, at the con-
cluslon of the game and cold shower,
a rub, and somewhat casual re-
sumption Of her clothes, she emerged
from the gymnasium. High time that
she took the quickest way Of getting
home, unless she wanted to be late for
dinner.
But the exhilaratlon Of the day per-
sisted. She felt like doing something
out of the regular routine. Even
preliminary walk of mile or SO before
she should cross over and take the
elevated, would serve to satisfy her
mild hunger for adventure.
SO, with her notebooks under her
arm and her sweater-jacket unfasten-
ed, at good four-mile swing she
started north. In the purlieus of the
university she was frequently hailed
by friends Of her own sex or the other.
But though she waved cheerful re-
sponses to their greetings, she made

courage offers of company. They all
seemed young to her today. All her
student activities seemed young. AS
IL, somehow, she had outgrown them.
The feeling was none the less real
after she had laughed at herself for
entertaining it.
She noticed presently that it was
good deal darker than it had any
right to be at this hour, and the sudden
fall of the breeze and a persistent
simmer of lightning supplied her with
the explanation. When she reached
Forty-seyenth street, the break of the
storm was obviously a matter of
minutes, so she decided to ride across
to the elevated-it was another mile,
perhaps-rather than to walk across
as she had meant to do.
She found quite a group of people
waiting on the corner for a car, and
the car itself, when it came along,
was crowded. So she handed her
nickel to the conductor over some
