Captain Elisha planned to surprise

reflection, decided to postpone the pres

When Caroline returned her uncle
told her Of his visitor. She seemed un.
feignedly pleased. but regretted that
she mad not been there. HE was such
a friend Of fathers" she said. "that
seeing him here would be almost like
the old days. And so many Of those
whom we thought were his friends and
urs have left US"
Stephen had never been very popular,
and his absence at college still further
reduced the number Of young people
who might be inclined to call. Their
not calling confirmed Caroline's belief
that she and her brother were DELHI
erately Stunned because Of their change
in circumstances, and she grew more
sensitive and proudly resentful in con-
sequence. Naturally she turned for
comfort to those who remained faith
full, the Dunns in particular. They
were loyal to her. Therefore, with the
intensity Of her nature, she became
doubly loyal to them. The rector Of
st. Denis dropped in frequently, and
others occasionally, but she was lonely.
She craved the society Of those nearer
her own age.
Parsons coming, then, was psyche
logically apt. When he made his NEXT
call upon Captain Elisha to find the
latter out, but his niece at home, she
welcomed him cordially and insisted
upon his waiting until her guardian
returned. The conversation was at
first embarrassing for the e%x-reporter.
She spoke Of her father, and Pearson

a N important event was about to
~ take place. At least, It seemed
important to Captain Elisha, al.
though the person most intimately con-
cerned appeared to have forgotten 1t
entirely. he ventured to remind her
Of It.

birthday, amt itT
His niece looked at him In surprise.

and her brother during the major part
Of the day. The yellow car appeared
at the door at 10 o'clock and bore the
two away. Caroline assured her guard
ian, however, that they would return
In a for the evening meal.
The captain spent lonely but busy
hours until dinner time came. He
had done some scheming on his own
hook and, after a long argument with
the cook, REINFORCED by q small sum In
cash, had prevailed upon that naughty
domestic to fashion a birthday cake Of
imposing exterior and i~ndigestible
makeup. experimenting the icing Of
this masterpiece occupied some time.
He then worried Edwards into q re-
spectful but stubborn fury by suggest
ing novelties in the way Of table ar.
rangement. Another bestowal of small
change Quelled the disturbance. Then
came by messenger a dozen American
Beauty Roses. with Mr.. Parsons card
attached. These the captain decided
should be placed In the center Of the
festive board. As a centerpiece had
been previously provided, there was
more argument. The cook took the
buffers side In the debate, and the pair
yielded only when Captain Elisha again
dlved into his pocket.
"But I warn you, all hands," ne OBJ
served, that this is the last time. My
right Ast's got a cramp in it this min
ute, and you couldn't open 1t again
with a cold chisel."
At last, however, everything was as
1t should be, and he sat down in tn
library to await the coming Of tie
young people. The gold chain irlly/

candles and all-the captain had in.
sisted upon twenty candles-was ready
also. There vas nothing to do but
wait-and he waited.
Six-thirty was the usual dinner hour.
It passed. Seven o'clock struck, then
9, and still Captain Elisha sat alone In
the library. The cook sent word that
the dinner was ruined. Edwards re-
spectfully asked what shall I do, SIRE

phraseology was lost upon the butler.f
but the tone and manner of delivery
were quite Understandable.
Several times the captain rose from
his chair to telephone the Dunn house
and ask the reason for delay. Each
time he decided not to do so. No doubt
there were good reasons. Caroline and
her brother had been detained. Per.
maps the automobile had broken down
