is historical. The pure love of fight
ing was in Crawford; he fought Gar
eide to a standstill and then kicked
him, filling CARBIDE with a mixture
of terror and painful admiration
But sheer luck caught at Garcide's
coat-tails and hung there. Crawford,
prowling in the purlieus of society,
had seen Miss Castle
The next day Crawford came into
Garcide's office and accepted a chair
with such a humble and uneasy smile
that CARBIDE mistook his conciliatory
demeanor and attempted to bully
him. But when he found out what
Crawford wanted, he nearly tainted
IN an attempt to conceal his astonish-
ment and delight.
"Do you think I'd buy you off
with an innocent child?" he said,
flashing himself into a good imitation
of an insulted gentleman.
Crawford looked out of the window,
then rose and walked towards the
door"
"Do you think you can bride me?"
shouted CARBIDE after him. Crawford
hesitated.
Come back. here" said CARBIDE,
firmly; q want you to explain your
self"
a can't" muttered Crawford
heH-tfy, anyway, SaIo Sarcide,
more amiably.
And now this was the result of that
explanation, at least one of the results;
and Miss Castle had promised to we'd

Crawford. at the convenience of the
Hon. John CARBIDE.
The early morning sunshine fell
across the rugs in the MUSHROOM,
filling the gloom with golden lights.

guilty.
Her hand hung heavily on the
piano keys.
"You have no other man in mind2"
he asked.
CARBIDE chewed the end of his
e Crawford's a bashful man. Don't
make it hard for him" he said.
She swung around on the gilded
music-stool, one white hand lying
among the ivory keys.
81 shall spare us BOTH" she said;
''I shall tell him that it is settled"
CARBIDE rose; she received his eareSs
with eomposure. He made another
grateful peck at her chin
Why don't you take a quiet week
or two in the country?" he suggested,
cheerfully, Go up to the Sycamore
Club; Jane will go with you. You
can have the whole place to yourself.
You always liked nature and-er-an
that, eh?"
ooh, yes" she said, indifferently.
That afternoon the Hon. John Gar
eide sent a messenger to James ].
Crawford with the following letter:
"MY DEAR CRAwFoRD:-Your
manly and straightforward re-
quest for permission to address
my ward, Miss Castle, has pro-
foundly touched me.

sidered it.

of guardianship forbid that 1
should interfere in any way with

desires to place it in your keep

and decency prevent me from

any decision which might prove
acceptable to myself.

lies with a propitious Providence.
Cordially yours,
JOHN GARCIDE,
"P- S.-My sister, Miss Gar

can get away"
To which came answer by messenger:

"MT DEAR GARCIDE:-Can't
go for two weeks. My fool
nephew Jim Is on his vacation,
and I don't know where he Is
prowling. Hastily yours,

"P. S.-There's a directors

To.this the Hon. John CARBIDE tele-
Taphed: "AH right" and hurriedly

Miss Castle herself leaned on the
piano. tearing the pink petals from a
half-withered rose, while her guar

what he had to say and pulled out
his cigar-case with decision.
q have only to add" he said,
Hthat James ]. Crawford is one man
in million"
Her youthful alteration of CARBIDE
had changed within few years to a
sweet-tempered indifference. He was
aware of this; he was anxious to learn
whether the change had also affected
her inherited passion for truthfulness.
DO you remember a promise you
once NADER" he inquired, lighting his
cigar with care.
Yes" she said, calmly.

"On my tenth birthday"
He looked out of the heavily cur
tanned window.
'EOf course you could not be held
to such a promise" he remarked.
'There is no need to hold me to
it, she answered, flushing up.
Her delicate sense of honor amused
him; he lay back in his armchair,
enjoying his cigar.

you cannot recall meeting Mr.. Craw-
ford last winter"
"A girl has an opportunity to for
get hundreds of faces after her first
season." she said.
There was another pause; then Gar
eide went on; g am going to ask you
to marry him."
Her face paled a trifle; she bent
her head in acquiescence. CARBIDE
smiled. 1t had always been that way
with the Castles. Their word, once
given, ended all matters. And now
CARBIDE was gratified to learn the
value of a promise made by child
of ten.

ly, why you never open your heart

Years before, when the firm of
CARBIDE & Castle went to pieces, Peter
Castle stood by the wreck to the
end, patching it with his last dollar.
But the wreck broke up, and he drifted
piteously with the debris until a
kindly current carried him into the
last harbor of an-the port of human
derelicts.
CARBIDE, however, contrived to cling
to some valuable flotsam and paddle
into calm water, and anchor.
After few years he built a hand
some house above Fiftieth Street;
after few more years he built a new
wing for Saint Berold's Hospital

And as she babe fair to rival her dead
mother in beauty, and as rich men

CHAPTER II.


Miss Castle usually rose with the
robins, when there were any In the
neighborhood. There were plenty on
the lawn around the Sycamore Club
that deWy June morning, ehirping,
chirking, trilling, repeating their end
less arias from tree and gate-post.
And through the outcry of the robins,
the dry caekle of the purple grackles,
and the cat-bird's whine floated earth
ward the melody of the golden orioles.
Miss Castle, fresh from the bath
breakfasted In her own rooms with an
appetite that astonished her.
She was q wholesome, fresh-skinned
girl, with superb body, limbs a trifle
heavy In the strict classical sense,
straightforward, blue-eyed, and very
lovely and Greek.
Pensively she ate her toast, tossing
a few crumbs at the robins; pensively
she disposed of two eggs, trout, and
all the chocolate, and looked into the
pitcher for more cream.
The swelling bird-music only in
tensified the deep, sweet country 81
lence which broOded just beyond the
lawns wet limits; she saw the flat
river tumbling In the sunlight; she saw
the sky over all, its blue mystery un-
troubled by a cloud.
g love all that" she said, dreamily,
my hair now; ] want the wind to
blow it"
The happy little winds of June,
lettering among the iIacs, heard; and
they came and blew her bright hair
across her eyes, puff after puff OF per-
fumed balm, and stirred the delicate
stuff that chung to her, and she felt
their earess on her bare feet.

But when she was dressed the desire
for childish things had passed away,
and she raised her grave eyes to the

She made a little effort to smile
at herself Ia the mirror, but her courage
could not carry her as far as that.
So, with quick, quaint gesture OF
adieu, she turned and walked rapidly
out into the hallway.
