Morgan. Good night, Mr.. Morgan. !

other time when q more courteous
sort Of people may be present"
: "Look herei" the hot-headed Fred
burst out. "Don't you try to make ne
cut . boor. George Minaferi I wasn't
Anting anything at you; simply for
got all about your grandfather own
ing this old building. Don't you try
to put me in the Light Of boori I
WON'T
But George walked out In the very
course Of his vehement protest, and
It was necessarily left unnnished.

moments after Georges departure /,
and as the door closed upon him the
distressed Lucy turned to her father,
She was plaintively surprised to ind

laughter. .

managed to explain. ''This very Fred
Kinney's father and young Georges
fathsr. Wilbur Ninafsr, used to do
Just such things when they were at
that ase-and, fer that matter, % did
George ANDERSON and I, and all the
rest Of ssi" And In spite Of his ex.
haustion. he began to initiate: "Don't

"Just-just boysl" he moaned, wip.
ing his eyes.
But Lucy could not smile at all; she
was beginning to look indignant. II
can forgive that poor Fred Kinney"
she said. "He's just blunderins-but
George-oh, George behaved out
rageously!"
She came and sat upon the arm Of
hia chair. Papa, why should Georrs
behave like thatr'
"He's sendtiye."

Eugene patted her hand. That's
one Of The srsatest puxxles Of human
vanity. dear. and I don't pretend to
know the answer. In all my Life TIE

havs been the most sensitive The
people who have done the most in
contempt Of other peoples opinion,
end who .eonsider themselves the

Stand the least, nghtest, fainteak
