darkly as he rode home
behind the glass windows
- Of his luxurious limousine.
D No matter which way he
>HN turned his unhappy old
eyes he saw evidences Of
the happy Christmas season; and he
had quite determined to ignore Christ
mas after his only child. Eve, had
flouted her fathers objections to her
marrying a poor young inventor and
eloped with George Lane. the afore-
said inventor.
Although Eve had pleaded for for
giveness from her stern parent, Hiram
Jenner merely refused to listen to her;
he turned a deaf ear to the pleas Of
her friends In her behalf; returned
her letters unopened and In every way
possible enacted the role of hard
hearted and pig-headed father whose
daughter had disappointed him.
And the worst of it all was. said
Ewes friends, who chung loyalty to
her, the only Objectionable thing about
George Lane was that he was an in
vent0r--and that was decidedly an adj
vantage, for sometimes-in fact, quite

II that was what was worrying Papa
Jennerl And why should 1t worry
him, they argued. when the Jenner
fortune was enough to launch three
or four inventors on the sea Of sue
cessf George Lane was not In Ewes
social set. but he was fine fellow
| well educated, well bred and mighty
good looking-and they loved each
other to distraction.
| Hiram Jenner was turning these
things over In his tired mind for the
hundredth time In the past year. He
nOurished bitter resentment and
jealousy. That his motherless daugh-
ter should have chosen a strange young
MANN preference to him! That was
the sore pOint-One Of them. The
other sore point was that he believed
young Lane wanted to marry money
so that he could finance his idiotic in
ventions. Well. he wouldn't get any
of the Jenner fortune!
A tire on the limousine blew out ut
this moment and shattered the train

There was something familiar about
