mer. He isn't much different from
the way he's looked all his life, that
can see. What's the matter with
him?"
"He never talks much about his
business to me, but think he's been
worrying about some investments he
made last year. think his worry
has affected his health"
"What Investments" George de-
manded. "He hasn't gone into Mr..
Morgan's automobile concern. has

"No," Isabel smiled. 1.-THE auto
mobile concern is all Eugene's, and
it's so small I understand it's taken
hardly anything. No; your father has
always prided himself on making only
the most absolutely safe investments,
but two or three years ago he and
your Uncle George both put great
deal-pretty much everything they
could get together, think-into the
stock of rolling mills some friends
of theirs owned, and I'm afraid the
mills haven't been doing WELL"
"What Of that? Father needn't
worry. You and can take care Of
him the rest of his life on what grand
father"
"Of course" she agreed. "But your
fathers always lived so for his bust

sound investments; it's passion
with him. L"
"Pshaw! He needn't worry! You
tell him we'll look after him." He
kissed her. "Good night; I'm going to

"Yes, WILL" she laughed. "You

"Welr-it's my last night"

I want to see you too, your last night.

But she was mistaken: Lucy sent

arc won't run again--sO there's SyG~
ney's Idea Of a big diplomatic position
gone for good. We'll, Sydney and your
Aunt Amelia are terribly disappoint-
ed, and they say they've been thinking
for years that this town isn't really fit
to live in--for gentleman Sydney
says-and it Is getting rather. big and
dirty. So they've sold their house and
decided to go abroad to live porma-
nently; there's a villa near Florence
they've often talked of buying. And
they want father to let them have their
share of the estate now, instead Of
waiting for him to leave it to them in
his will"

George said. "That is, in case he in

George. Father explained his will to
US long ago; third to them, and
third to Brother George, and third
to u.s."
Her son made simple calculation
in his mind. Uncle George was
bachelor, and probably would never
marry Sydney and Amelia were child

they oughtn't to urge it. George says

Sydney and Amelia are behaving like a
couple of pigs. I'm on Georges side,
whether he's right or wrong; always
was from the time we were children;
and Sydney and Amelia are hurt with
me about it, I'm afraid. They've
stopped speaking to George entirely.
Poor father! Family rows at his time
of life"
An hour after lunch, George strolled
over to his grandfather'S, intending to
apply for further information, as a
party rightfully interested.
He did not carry out this intention,
however. Going into the big house by
side entrance, he was informed that
the Major was upstairs in his bedroom,
that his sons Sydney and George were
both with him, and that serious
argument was in progress.
George went to the foot of the great
stairway. He could hear angry voices
overhead-those of his two uncles-
and plaintive murmur, as if the
Major tried to keep the peace.
. Such sounds We're far from encour-
aging to callers, and George decided
not to go upstairs until this interview
was over. He turned from the stair.

Bronson! know her little better
than you do, don't you Think"
George heard the voice of Mr.. Bron-
son replying-a voice familiar to him
as that of his grandfather's attorney
in-chief and chief intimate as well. He
was contemporary of the Majors, be-
ing over seventy, and they had been
through three years of the war in the
same regiment.
II doubt your knowing Isabel" he
said stiffiy. "You speak of her as you
do because she sides with her brother
George, instead of with you and Sgd
ney."

CHAPTER x.

That night George began jubilant
warfare upon his Aunt Fanny, open
| ing the campaign upon his return
home at about eleven o'clock. Fanny
had retired, and was presumably
asleep, but George. on the way to his
own room, paused before her door,
and Serenaded her. in a full baritone
"As I walk along the Boy de Balong
With my independent air,
The people all declare,
He must be millionaire
oh, you hear them sigh, and wish to die,
And see them wink the other eye
| At the man that broke the bank at Monte
Carlo"
After breakfasting in bed, George
spent the next morning at his grand
fathers and did not encounter his
Aunt Fanny until lunch, when she
seemed to be ready for him.
THANK you so much for the sere-
made, Georgep she said. "Your poor
father tells me he'd just got to sleep
for the first time in two nights, but
after your kind attentions he lay
awake the rest of last night"
Perfectly true" Mr.. Minafer said
grimly.
"Of course. I didn't know, sir

so gloomy and excited before I went
out:last evening, thought she needed
cheering up"
He turned to his mother. whats

Didn't you see him this morning?"
Isabel asked.
"Yes. He was glad to see me, and
all that, but he seemed pretty fidgety.

"Well, he's not himself. What's he
upset over?".
Isabel looked serious; however it

your Uncle Sydney wanted diplo-
matte position. and he thought Brother
George, being in congress, could ar

of a South American ministry, but
Sydney wanted a European ambassa-
