CHAPTER XVI.

Breakfast was brought to him in his
his normal healthy raid upon the
dainty tray: the food remained un-
touched. and he sustained himself
upon coffee-four cups of 1t. which
left nothing Of value inside the glis-
tening little percolator. During this
process he heard his mother being
summoned to the telephone in the hall,
not far from his door. and then her
voice responding: "Yes? Oh. it's you
Indeed shouldl OF
course Then III expect you
about three. Yes. 80. .
Goodby till then" A few minutes
later he heard her speaking to some
one beneath his window. and, looking
out, saw her directing the removal of
plants from small garden bed to
the Majors conservatory for the win
ter. She laughed gayly with the Ma
jor's gardener over something he said,
and this unconcerned cheerfulness of
her was terrible to her son.
He went to his desk. and, searching
the jumbled contents Of a drawer,
brought forth a large. unframed pho
tograph Of his father. upon which he
gazed long and piteously. till at last
hot tears stood in his eyes. "PoOr,
poor father" the son whispered bro
kenly. poor man. I'm glad you didn't
knowr
He wrapped the picture in sheet
Of newspaper, put 1t under his arm,
and, leaving the house hurriedly and
steadily, went downtown to the shop
OF silversmith. where he spent sixty
dollars on a resplendently festooned
silver frame for the picture. Having
lunched upon more coffee. he returned
to the house at two O'Clock, carrying
the framed photograph with him, and
placed 1t upon the center table In the
library, the room most used By Isabel
and Fanny and himself. Then he went

the front door. The light in the hall
had been left burning. and another in
his own room, as he discovered when
he got there. He locked the door
quickly and without noise, but his fin
gers were still upon the key when
there was quick football in the hall
outside.
"GeOrgie, dear?"
He went to the other end of the
room before replying.
"Yes7"

little furry of placative laughter she
added: "At your age of course!"

After he was In bed his thoughts be-

now rising before him the clearest was

She moved few steps toward him

Eugene himself. as he came up the
cement path to the house, was fig
ure of the new era which was In time
to be so disastrous to stiff hats and
skirted coats; and his appearance af-
forded debonair contrast to that of
the queer-loOking duck capering at the
Anderson ball in an old dress coat
and next day chugging up National
avenue through the snow in his night
mare of a sewing machine. Eugene
this afternoon was richly clad in new
outdoor mode: his motoring coat was
soft gray fur; his cap and gloves were
of gray suede. and though Lucy's hand
may have shown itself in the selection
of these high garnitures, he wore them
easily, even with becoming hint of
jauntiness. Some change might be
seen in his face, too. for successful
man is seldom to be mistaken, espe-
cially IL his temper be genial. Eugene
had begun to look like a millionaire.
But. above everything else. what was

up the path. was his confidence In the
happiness promised by his present
errand; the anticipation in his eyes
could have been read by stranger.
His look at the door of Isabel's house
was the look of a man who is quite
certain that the next moment will re-
veal something ineffably charming. In
expressibly dear.
When the bell rang George
waited at the entrance of the "recep-
tion room" until a housemaid came
through the hall on her way to answer
the summons.
"You needn't mind, Mary" he told
her. "I'll see who it is and what they
want. Probably it's only a peddler."
'Thank you. sir. Mister George"
said Mary, and returned to the rear of
the house.
George went slowly to the front door
and halted, regarding the misty silhou-
ette of the caller upon the ornamental
frosted glass. After a minute of
waiting this silhouette changed outline

Eugene gave him steady look. and
then he asked quietly: "What is the

George kept his own voice quiet
enough. but that did not mitigate the
vibrant fury Of 1t. "My mother will
