gene; otis the time it takes to get
there. This towns already spreading ;
bicycles and trolleys have been doing
their share, but the automobile is
going to carry city streets clear out to
the county line"
The Major was skeptical. "Dream
on, fair SON." he said. "It's lucky for
us that you're only dreaming; because
if people go to moving that far, real
estate values in the old residence part
of town are going to be stretched pref
ty thin"
"I'm afraid So" Eugene asSented.
"UnleSS you keep things so bright and
clean that the old section will stay
more attractive than the new ones"
"Not very likely! How are things
going to be kept bright and clean
with soft coal and our kind of city
governments"
"They aren't" Eugene replied quick
ly. "There's no hope of it, and al
ready the boarding house is marching
up National avenue. My relatives, the
SharOns, have sold their house and are
building in the country-at least they
call it the country 1t will be city
in two or three years"
Good graciousw the Major ex-
claimed, affecting dsmay $50 your
little shops are going to ruin all your
old friends, Eugenew
UNLESS my old friends take warm
/ ing in time, or abolish smoke and get
a new kind Of city government"
"Well, wellw the Major laughed.
You have enough faith in miracles,
Eugene-grantlng that troIeys and hi
cycles and automobiles are miracles,

AT this point he was interrupted.
George was the interrupter He had
said nothing since entering the dining
room, but now he spoke in lond and
peremptory voice, using the tone of
one in authority who checks idle pratt
tie and settles a matter forever.
automobiles are a useless nuis-
ance," he said.
There fell a moments silence.
Isabel gazed incredulously at
George, color slowly frightening upon
her cheeks and temples, while Fanny
watched him with a quick eagerness
her eyes alert and bright. But Eugene
seemed merely quizzlcal, as if not tax
ing this brusquerie to himself. The
Major was seriously disturbed.
what did you say, George" he
asked, though George had spoken but
too distinctly.
81 said all automobiles were 9
nuisance" George answered, repeating
not only the words but the tone ii
which he had uttered them. And hC
added: They'll never amount to any
thing but nuisance. They had nj
business to be invented"
The Major frowned. "0f course yoJ
forget that Mr.. Morgan makes them
and also did his share In inventinl

said, "What did you mean?"
Just what l said" he returned,
lighting one of the Majors cigars.
Isabeps hand, pale and slender, up
on the tabecIoth, touched one of the
fine silver candlesticks aimessly; the
fingers were seen to tremble. "Oh, he
wars hurt" she murmured
81 don't see why he should be-"
George said. 81 didn't say anything
about him. What made you think he
was hurtY
81 know him." was all of her reply
half-whispered.
The Major stared hard at George
from under his white eyebrows. "You
didn't mean him you say, George? |
suppose if we had clergyman as Il
guest here you'd expect him not to be
offended and to understand that your
remarks were neither personal nor I'M
tactful if you said the church was a
nuisance and ought never to- have been
invented. We seem to have a new
kind of young people these days, It's
a new style of counting a pretty girl,
certainly for a young fellow to go de-
liberately out of his way to try and
make an enemy of her father by at
lacking his business! BY Jove That's
new way to win woman !"
George flushed angrily and seemed
about to offer a retort, but held his
breath for moment; and then held
his peace 1t was Isabel who respond
ed to the Major. "Oh, no." She said,
Eugene would never be anybody's
enemy-he couldn't and last of all
Georges. I'm afraid he was hurt, but

that George spoke without thinking Of

realizing its bearing on Eugene"

Thereupon he offered his arm to his
daughter, who took it fondly, and they.
left the room, Isabel assuring him that
all his little dinners were pleasant,
and that this one was no exception.
George did not move, and Fanny,
following the other two, came round
the table and paused close beside his
chair; but George remained posed in
great imperturbability cigar between
teeth, eyes upon ceiling and paid no
attention to her Fanny waited until
the sound of ISabel's and the Majors

Then she said quickly, and in low
