Friend. this is from your friend.
Georges anticipations were not dis
appointed. When he came home in
June his friend was awaiting him; at
least she was % pleased to see him
again that for a few minutes after
their first encounter she was q little
breathless and a great deal glowing,
and quiet withal.
Lucy and her father were living at
the Anderson hotel. while Morgan got
his small machine shops built In
western outskirt of the town; and
George grumbled about the shabbi-
ness and the old-fashioned look Of the
hotel, though It was ''still the best In
the place. Of course" He remon-
strated with his grandfather. declar-
ing that the whole ANDERSON Estate
would be getting 'run down and out
at heel II things weren't taken in
hand pretty soon." He urged the
general need Of rebuilding, renovat-
ing. vanishing and lawsuits. But the
Major, declining to hear him out, In
terrupted querulously, saying that he
had enough to bother him without any
advice from George; and retired to
his library, going 20 far as to lock
the door audibly.
Second childhoodi" George NUT
tered, shaking his head; and he
thought sadly that the Major had not
long to live. However. this surmise
depressed him for only q moment or
20. OF course people couldn't be ex-
pected to live forever. and It would
be q good thing to have someone In
charge Of the Estate who wouldn't
let 1t get to looking 30 rusty that riff
raff dared to make fun Of 1t. For
George had lately undergone the an
noyance Of calling upon the Morgans,
in the rather stufly red velours and
gilt parlor Of their apartment at the
hotel, one evening when Mr.. Fred
erick Kinney also was q caller. and
Mr.. Kinney had not been taetful. In
fact, though be adopted q humorous
tone Of voice In expressing sympathy
for people who. through the city's
poverty In hotels, were obliged to
stay At the Ambefson, Mr.. Kinney's
intention was interpreted BY the
other visitor ~ not at Ill humorous.
but, ON the contrary. personal and Of
fensive.
George ross abruptly. his face ths
color Of wrath. '-0ood night, Miss
Morgan. Good night, Mr.. Morgan. I
shall take pleasure In calling at some
