CHAPTER vi.

The meeting of Daphne and her new
sister-in-law was not what either would
have expected or selected. Daphne
was tired in body and soul, discour-
aged, footsore and dismayed about her
love and her lover. She had reached
the door of the apartment in the mood
of wave-buffeted, outswum castaway,
eager for nothing but to lie down in
the sand and sleep.
Daphne could imagine the feelings
of her brothers wife when she
reached her home after a long ocean
voyage, hight landing, the custom
house ordeal, and the cab ride among
the luggage, and found a mother-in-
law asleep in her bed and a sister-in-
law yet to arrive!
Bayard and Leila, serene in the be-
lief that Daphne and her mother had
gone back to Cleveland, entered the
apartment without formality and went
about switching on lights, recovering
their little home from the night with
magic instantaneity.
Mother Kip's awakening came from
the light that Bayard flashed in his
bedroom. Leila had ,lovable dispo-
sition, but she was tired, and all the
way up in the overloaded cab she had
thought longingly of the beautiful bed
in her own new home, and had prom
ised herself quick plunge into it for
long stay. How could she rejoice to
find a strange woman there-even
though she bore the sacred name of
mother-in-law?
Mother Kip ordered Bayard and
Leila out of their own room and when
she was ready to be seen she had so
many apologies to make and accept
that the meeting entirely lacked the
rapture it should have expressed. Even
a mother could hardly be glad to see
her son in such discouraging circum-
stances. All three exchanged ques-
tons more and more perfunctorily, and
kept repeating themselves. The most
popular question was, 81 wonder where
Daphne isW
They could not know that she was
hobbling down the wilderness of Riv-
erside drive. She, too, was thinking
longingly of her bed. But long before
she reached it her mother had moved
in and established herself across a
good deal more than half of it. 1t was
a smallish bed in a smallish bedroom.
Leila fell asleep in her tub and
might have drowned without noticing
the difference if her yawning husband
had not saved her life-and very clev-
erly: he was too tired to lift her from
the water, so he lifted the stopper and
let the water escape from her. She al
most resented the rescue, but event
ually got herself to bed in prettily
sullen stupor.
From some infinite depth of peace
she was dragged up protesting. Bayarsi
was telling her of Daphne's arrival.
DoGgedly she began to prepare an

celia of the monument, and seemed
to tilt it's face to enc side and smile.
A motorcar went by with the silence
of Looping panther. Another car pass
ing it threw calcium light on Tom
Duane and his guests and his chauf-
feur. How gorgeously they sped! If
Daphne had had a bit of luck she
would be with them, soaring on the
pinions Of money, instead of hobbling
on without it.
Daphne took off her slippers and
fondled her poor abused feet as If they
were her children. But when she tried
to thrust them back into her slippers
for final desperate effort she almost
shrieked with the hurt.
"Tll have to go the rest Of the way
in my stocking feet" she moaned.
"Not If I have to carry you," Clay
growled.
Before he had chance to carry out
his resolution a taxicab that had de-
posted its fares at an apartment house
above went bowling by with its flag
up.
Clay ran out and howled at it till it
stopped, circled round, and drew up by
the bridle-path. Then he ran to Daphne
and bundled her into it, and gave her
address to the driver.
"But how are you going to pay him?''
she sighed, biissfully, as they shot
along. "Not that care at all.''
II haven't figured that out" said
Clay. ''Tll drop you at home and then
take him to my club and see il can't
borrow from somebody there. If I
can't, I'll give him my watch or the
fight of his life"
'That's terrible!" Daphne sighed.
ITO think how much I have cost you! !"
swell, ! wanted to give you a good
time on your little VISIT" said Clay,
"and it's only two days till my next
salary day.
Her heart sank. Her guess was
right. His bank account was dry. 1t
had gurgled out in amusing her. She
felt that there was something here
that would take bit of thinking about
when she had rested enough to
think.
The taxfcab swung into Fifty-ninth
street and drew up to the curb. Clay
helped Daphne out and said to the
chauffeur. "Wait!"
He said it with just the tone he had
used when he said to the waiter,
"Check -
When Clay had kissed her his seven
teenth farewell and was wondering
how he could tear himself away from
her without bleeding to death, Daphne
pressed the bell.
Instead of her drowsy mother open
ing the door half an inch and fleeing
in her curl-papers, Bayard himself APP
peared in his bathrobe and pajamas.
"Bayard!" Daphne gasped as she
sprang for him. "What on earth
brought you home so soon?"

"HelIo, Clay" he said as he put
forth his hand. Mother tells me

sister all this time, you old scoundrel
How are you? What's the good word?"
"Lend me five dollars" said Clay.

paper can appreciate the situa-

self when she set out to buy all

she should have before i,ecom-

the prices that confronted her

by Brig. Gen. Wesley Merritt and on

President Mckinley had sent his

Hotel, occupying part Of the suite
which Dom Pedro had had, and he
occasionally lunched or breakfasted
in the public dining room. Three
brilliant dinner parties were given
for Prince Albert on the three even

first was at the White House, with
the President and Mrs. Mckinley as
hosts.

The contrast between him and

there are strong likenesses, too. They
are both OF the ascetic type and both

is rather short and wonderfully erect
in spite Of his years. The Belgian Is
tall and STOPPING, with irregular fea-

keen and kindly. His smile Is all
benign friendliness. His cheeks are
ruddy, his movements easy and he

Business Men To Meet Tuesday

A meeting of the retail merchants
and other business men of Richmond
has been called for Tuesday after
noon at 2:30 o'clock at the court
house. Action will be taken upon
the Jones bill now pending before
congress, which is designed to force
manufacturers to mark articles with
their cost price in selling to retailers.
Merchants generally are opposed to
the bill. 1t is expected that local
business men may form an organiza-
tion to be in position to take con-
certed action whenever a case of
this kind or other important mat
ters arise.
