TWO GLASSES OF WINE.

One Of the worlds great violinists
was Paganink an italian by birth. He
played before the courts of Europe. A
great artist and friend of Paganini,
after attending some of the violinist's
remarkable performances, said: You
have played those wonderful passages,
requiring the greatest fineness Of
touch, absolutely without fault, except
nights you slightly blurred certain
notes. Why is it," "Ah!" replied the
great violinist. before going onto the

CHAPTER XVII.
The Rejection.

w up and Captain Elisha Cnd his
wards moved to the little house
in Westchester county, Annie came with
them. Mrs. Moriarty came once week
to do the laundry work. Caroline acted
as sort Of inexperienced, but willing,
supervising housekeeper.
The house had been procured through
the kind interest of Sylvester. Caro-
line took a domestic science course at
. university. She could not quite un-
derstand how ner uncle retained the
valuable paintings of their old home.
One day at her request her uncle told
her the true story of Mr.. Pearson's re-
lations with her father. Caroline wrote
to Pearson apologizing for her conduct,
but she got her uncle's promise not to
invite Pearson to call. However, the
captain forgot all about it and Pearson
appeared. As he turned ID at the front
walk Caroline came out Of the door.
They met face to face.
1t was a most embarrassing situation,
particularly for Caroline, yet, with
feminine resourcefulness, she dissem-
bled her embarrassment to some extent
and acknowledged his stammered Good
afternoon, Miss Warren" with a cool,
almost cold, How do you do, Mr.. Pear
SOM" which chilled his pleasure at see
ing her and made him wish devoutly
that he had not been such fool as to
come. However, there he was, and he
hastily explained his presence by telling
her Of the captains invitation for that
day, how he had expected to meet him
at the station and, not meeting him.
had walked up to the house.
"Is he in?" he asked.
No, Captain Elisha was not in. He
had gone to see a sailboat man. Not
hearing from his friend, he concluded
the latter would not come until the next
day HE will be SO sorry" said Car
o,ine.
He was turning to 60, but she stop
ped him.
"You mustn't go, Mr.. Pearson" she
said. ,"You must come in and wait.
Captain Warren will be back soon, I'm
sure"
Pearson was reluctant. but he could
think of no reasonable excuse. So he
entered the house, removed his overcoat
and hat and seated himself in the liv-
ing room to await the captains return.
They were deep in the discussion OF
the novel when Captain Elisha walk
ed into the living room. He was sur
priscd. stating his feelings at their
mildest. to find them together, but he
did not express his establishment.
PEARSON did not take the next train
nor the next. Instead. he stayed for
dinner and well into the evening. and
when he did go it was after a prompt
acceptance Of the captains invitation
to "come again in a mighty little
while"
Pearson came again n week later and
thereafter frequently. The sessions
with Cap'n Jim. the hero of the novel,
and his associates were once more reg
ular happenings, 10 be looked forward
to Dnd enjoyed by the three.
IN June two very important events
took place. The novel was finished,
ana Stephen. his sophomore year at an
end. came hoEie from college. He had
been invited by some classmates to
sDend n part Of his vacation with them
on the Maine coast. and his guardian
had consented to his doing SO But
Cheyenne record., 1919-01-23
the bo, himself had something else to

the boy himself had something else to
propose.
"Say," he said, "I've been thinking
a good deal while I've been away this
last time. Now, the way look at 1t,
this college course Of pine isn't worth
while. And the kind of work I want
to do doesn't need university training.
I want to be down on the street, as tho

that seat of his and start in for my
self. Well. that chance has gone. but
I mean to get in some way, though 1
have to start at the foot of the ladder.
start now? 1t wilt be two years gain
ed, won't it?'
Captain Elisha seemed pleased. but
he shook his head.
How do you know you'd like it?"
he asked. you've never tried"
''No, 1 never have. but Eli like it,
all right. 1 know + shall. It's what
I've wanted to do ever since was old
enough to think Of such things. Just
let me start in now, right away. and
I'll show you. I'll make good, you see
IL don't"
That evening the captain made q
definite proposal to Stephen. 1t was
briefly that, while not consenting to
the latter's leaving college, he did con-
slider that a trial of the work In
brokers' office might be a good thing.
Therefore II the Young man wished he
could enter the employ of a friend of
Sylvester and remain during July and
August.
The novel. the wonderful tale which
Captain Elisha was certain would
Cheyenne record., 1919-01-23

make its author famous, was finished
that very day in June when Stephen.
came back from New Haven.
The advance copy, the first one, was
ready early in September. and the au-
thor. of course, brought it Immediately
to his friends. They found the dedica-
tion especially interesting, ITO c. w.
and E. W., consulting specialists at
the literary clinics. with grateful &C.
acknowledgements" Probably Captain
Elisha was never prouder of anything,
even his first command, than of that
dedication.
And the story, when at last 1t appear
ed for sale. was almost from the be-
ginning success. and, most important
of all perhaps, 1t sold and continued to
sell. There was something in it, its
humanity, its simplicity, its clearly
marked characters, which made hit.
Pearson no longer needed to seek pub
fishers; they sought him. His short
stories were bid for By the magazines,
and his prices climbed and climbed
He found himself suddenly planteI in
the middle of the highway to prosper
ity.
The novel being out Of the way and
Its successor not yet far enough ad-
vanced in plot or general plan for much
discussion, the literary clinics" were
no longer as frequent. But Pearson's
visits to the Warren house were not
discontinued. All summer long he had
been coming out once and usually twice
week. Captain Elisha had told him
not to stand on formality, to come any
time, and he did. On most of these
occasions he found the captain at
home, but if only Caroline was there
he seemed quite contented. The cap
tain was planning a glorious Thanks
giving. At least it would be glorious
to him, for he intended spending the
day and several days at his own home
in South Denboro. He would not leave
Caroline. of course; she was going with
him. Steve would be there, though he
would not come until Thanksgiving
day itself. Sylvester also would be of
the party. He seemed delighted at the
opportunity. Pearson was asked and
had accepted. His going was so far q
settled thing that he had commissioned
Captain Elisha to purchase stateroom
for him on the Fall river boat, for. of
course, the captain would not consider
their travelling the entire distance by
train. A day or two later Pearson an
hounced that he had decided not to
go.
"Hey?" Captain Elisha could scarce
ly believe he had heard correctly. You
can't go-to South Denboro?"
No
why not, for the land sakes? Come
here! Let me look at you"
He took the young man by the arm
and led him, almost by main strength,
close to the lighted window of the sta
ton.
'Humph." he grunted after a mo-
ment's scrutiny. You've made up
your mind; l can see that. Have you
told Caroline? Does she know"
Pearson smiled, bur there was little
mirth in the smile. .'Ithink she agrees
with me that it is BEST he observed.

In an article on "Organic Treatment

'.As prohibition cannot be satisfac-
tory in America so long as any state
