there were dozen or more middle

in the big house at whom a stranger
would have glanced twice. sit did not
enter Georges mind to mention ia
Miss Morgan that this was his father,

Good night, George"
George murmured friendly enough
good night without pausing. Ordh

at all. for he belonged, as most Amer
lean children do, to the mothers fam

old John, whom he felt to be dis

He pushed brusquely through ths
fringe of calculating youths who were
go fhered In the arches, watching for
chances to dance only with girls who
would soon be taken off their hands,
and led his stranger lady out upon the
floor. They caught the time instantly,
and were away In the waltz.
George danced well, and Miss Nor
gan seemed to float as part of the mu-
sic, the very dove itself Of LA PaIo-
ma" George, became conscious Of
strange feelings within him: an exisl'
tation of soul, tender but indefinite,
and seemingly located In the upper
part Of his diaphragm.
The stopping OF the music came
upon him like the waking to an alarm
clock; for instantly six or seven of
the calculating persons about the en-.
tryways bore down upon Miss Morgan

know you, does he, mamma?"
'That hasn't anything to do with It."
"Yes. it hast l mean: none Of the
ANDERSON family go to see him, and
they never have him come in their
house; they wouldn't ask him to, and
prob'ly wouldn't even let him."
THAT isn't what we're talking

well" said George. Anyway,
he said somep'm' to me that made me
mad" And upon this point he offered
no further details; he would not ex-
plain to his mother that what had
made him "mad' was Mr.. Smiths
hasty condemnation of herself: "Your
mother ought to be ashamed" and
"a woman that let's a bad boy like

these insolences.

Hes just riffraff," said George.
"You mustn't say So" his mother
gently agreed. "Where did you learn
those bad words he speaks of? Where

Uncle George Anderson said 'em to

George. "You must promise me-" she
said feebly, never to use those bad
words again."

codicil under his breath: "Unless get

code according to which, in his own
sincere belief, he never told lies.

he ran out to the yard, his punishment
over.

public character, and the story of his
adventure in the Rev. Malloch Smiths
