why should he mind so furiously when
the least little thing reflects upon
him, or on anything or anybody con.
nected with him?"
Eugene patted her hand. 'sThat's
one of the greatest puzzles Of human
vanity, dear; and don't pretend tc
know the answer. In all my life the
most arrogant people that I've known
have been the most sensitive. The
people who have done the most in
contempt of other peoples opinion
and who consider themselves the
highest above it have been the most
furious il it went against them. Ar
rogant and domineering people can't

"Oh, Minafer's all right" said Eu-
gene. Hes quiet sort of man, but
he's good man and kind man. He

Gus. "All the rest of the time he's

just such things when they were at

Half an hour later George was pass

his Aunt Fanny. He stopped her.
Look here!" he said.
"What in the world is the matter
with you?" she demanded, regarding
him with little amiability. "You look
as if you were rehearsing for villain
in play"
His expression gave no sign of

doesn't want to go tonight" he said
solemnly.
He never wants to go anywhere

"What is the matter with you?"
"He doesn't want to go because he
doesn't like this man Morgan. Look
here, what makes you and-and ev-

George was so astounded by this
outburst that his indignation was de-
