CHAPTER XIV.

George took off his dressing gown and put on a collar and tie, his fingers shaking so that the tie was not his usual success; then he picked up his coat and waistcoat, and left the room while still in process of donning them, fastening the buttons as he ran down the front stairs to the door. It was not until he reached the middle of the street that he realized that he had for gotten his hat; and he paused for an irresolute moment then he decided that he needed no hat for the sort ot call he intended to make, and went forward hurriedly. Mrs. Johnson
 was at home, the Irish girl who came to the door informed him, and he was left to await the lady, in room like an elegant well-the Johnsons' Ire | ception rOom."
 l Mrs. Johnson came in, breathing no-
 ticeably; and her round head, smooth ly but economically decorated with the hair of an honest woman, seemed to be lingering far in the background | of the Alpine bosom which took pre- l cedence of the rest of her everywhere; i;
 but when she was all in the room, it
 was to be seen that her breathing was the result of hospitable haste to greet
 the visitor, and her hand suggested that she had paused for only the brief
 est ablutions. George accepted this cold, damp lump mechanically.
 "Mr. Amberson-I mean Mir. Nina fer!" she exclaimed "Pm really de- lighted; l understood you asked for
 me. MT. Johnson's out of the city, but Charities downtown and Pm look ing for him at any minute, now, and he'll be so pleased that you" "I didn't want to see Charlie" | George said. "I want"

 urged him, seating herself upon the
 sofa. Do sit down.

analysis. What do you mean," he asked, when you say that if father had lived, the talk wouldn't have amounted to anything?"
 Things might have been-they might have been different"
 You mean Morgan might have mar ried you"
 Fanny gulped. "No. Because I don't know that I'd have accepted him." She had ceased to weep, and now she sat up stiffly. q certainly didn't care enough about him to mar ry him; wouldn't have let myself care that much until he showed that he wished to marry me. I'm not that sort of person." The poor lady paid her vanity this piteous little tribute. 'What mean is, if Wilbur hadn't died people wouldn't have had it proved before their very eyes that what they'd been talking about was true p
 You say-yop say that people be- lieve-" George shuddered, then forced himself to continue, in sick voice: "They believe my mother is is in love with that man?"

even for Mrs. Johnson! What varo you doing over there?"
 "She told me to leave the house u George said desperately. q went there because Aunt Fanny told me +ba whole town was talking about nv mother and that man Morgan-tbo+ they say my mother is going to marry him and that proves she was too fond of him before my father died-she- said this Mrs. Johnson was one that talked about it, and I went to her to ask who were the others.''
 Amberson's jaw fell in dismay. Don't tell me you did that!'' he said. in low voice; and then, seeing it was. true, "Oh, now you have done itp'
 I've done it?" George cried. What do you mean: I've done it? And what have I done?"
 Anderson had collapsed into am easy chair beside his dressing table, the white evening tie he had been about to put on dangling from his hand, which had fallen Imply on the arm of the chair. By Jove!" he nut tered. "That is too badW
 George folded his arms bitterly. ''WiH you kindly answer my question What have I done that wasn't honor- able and right? Do you think these riffraff can go about bandying my mothers name"
 "They can now," said Anderson. "T don't know if they could before, but they certainly can now!"
 "What do you mean by that?"
 His uncle sighed profoundly, picked up his tie, and, preoccupied with de- spondency, twisted the strip of white lawn till it became unwearable. Mean

what Aunt Amelia said about people talking. You denied it. And that wasn't the only time; you'd attacked me before then, because I intimated that Morgan might be coming here too often. You made me believe that mother let him come entirely on your account, and now you say"
 T think he did" Fanny interrupted desolately. q think he did come as much to see me as anything-for a while 1t looked like it. He did act good deal that way-and if Wilbur hadn't died-'
 You told me there wasn't any talk"
 "I didn't think there was much then" Fanny protested. q didn't know how much there was."
 "What p
 People don't come and tell such things to a persons family, you know You don't suppose anybody was going to say to George Anderson that his sister was getting herself talked about, do you? Or that they were going to say much to me?"
 You told me-" said George, fiercely, that mother never saw him except when she was chaperoning you'
 "They weren't much alone together, then" Fanny returned. Hardly ever, before Wilbur died. Everybody knew that he'd been engaged to her"
 "What's that?" George cried.
 yIo1 r.. member your grandfather speaking of it at the Sunday dinner one night?'
 "He didn't say they were engaged or"
 "Well, they were Everybody knows it; and she broke it off on account of that serenade when Eugene didn't know what he was doing. He drank when he was young man, and she wouldn't stand for it, but everybody in this town knows that Isabel has never really cared for any other man in her lifei Poor Wilbur! He was the only soul alive that didn't know it !"
 Nightmare had descended upon the unfortunate George; he leaned back against the f0otboard of his bed, gaz- ing wildly at his aunt. q believe I'm going crazy" he said. You mean when you told me there wasn't any talk, you told me falsehood?"
 "No" Fanny gasped.
 "You did !"
 T tell you I didn't know how much talk there was, and it wouldn't have amounted to much If Wilbur had lived" And Fanny completed this with fatal admission: q didn't want you to interfere"
 George overlooked the admission; his mind was not now occupied with

while, he tried to enlighten his nephew. Gossip Is never fatal, Georgie," he said, "until it is denied. Gossip goes on about every human being alive and about all the dead that are alive enough to be remembered, and yet almost never does any harm until some defender makes a controversy
 "See here" George said, q didn't come to listen to any generaliZing dose of philosophy I ask you"
 "You asked me what you've done, and I'm telling you." Anderson gave him melancholy smile, continuing: Suffer me to do it in my own way. Fanny says there's been talk about your mother, and that Mrs. Johnson does some of it. I don't know, because naturally nobody would come to me with such stuff or mention it before me; but it's presumably true-I osup- pose it is. I've seen Fanny with Mrs. Johnson quite q lot; and that old lady is notorious gossip, and that's why she ordered you out of her house when you pinned her down that she'd been gossiping. I suppose it's true that the whole town lot of others, that is. do share in the gossip, In this town, naturally, anything about any Anderson has always been a stone dropped into the center of a pond, and a lie would send the ripples as far as truth would. You can be pllre, that for many years there's been m9re gossip in this place about the AmMr- sons than about any other family. dare say it isn't so muck so now as it used to be, because the town got too big long ago, but it's the truth that the more prominent you are the more gossip there is about you, and tbe more people would like to pull you down. Well, they can't do it as long as you refuse to know what gossip there is about you. But the minute you notice it it's got you! I'm not speaking of certain kinds of slander that sometimes people have got to take to the courts; I'm talking of the wretched buzzing the Mrs. Johnsons do-the thing you seem to have such horror of-people 'talking'-the kind of thing that has assailed your mother. People who have repeated a islander either get ashamed or forget 1t, IF they're let alone. People will forget almost any slander except one that's been fought"
 s.Is that all?" George asked.
 .I suppose so," his uncle murmured sadly.
 "Well, then, may I ask what you'd have done in my placer

that-they think they were right when they said she was in-in love with him before-before my father diedY
 She looked at him gravely with her eyes now dry between their reddened lids. "Why George" she said, gently ''don't you know that's what they say! You must know that everybody in town thinks they're going to be mar ried very soon."
 George uttered an incoherent cry; and sections of him appeared to writhe. He was upon the verge of actual nausea.
 You know itl" Fanny cried, getting up. "You don't think I'd have spoken of it to you unless I was sure you knew it?" Her voice was wholly genuine, as it had been throughout the wretched interview. Somebody must have told you?"
 ''Who told you?" he said.
 'What?"
 'Who told you there was talk? Where is this talk? Where does it ome from? Who does it?"
 'Why, suppose pretty much every body" she said. T know it must be pretty general"
 ''Who said sO?"
 "What?"
 George stepped close to her. "You say people don't speak to q person of gossip about that persons family. Well, how did you hear it, then? How did you get hold of it? Answer me p
 'Why-' Fanny hesitated.
 You answer mep'
 T hardly think it would be fair to give names."
 Look here," said George. "One of your most intimate friends is that mother of Charlie Johnson's, for in- stance. Has she ever mentioned this to you? You say everybody is talking. Is she one?"
 ''Oh, she may have intimated-"
 "I'm asking you: Has she ever spoken of it to you?"
 She's very kind, discreet woman, George; but she may have intimat- ed"
 George had a sudden intuition, as there fiickered into his mind the pie ture of a street-crossing and two ab- sorbed ladies almost run down by a fast horse. You and she have been talking about it today" he cried. "You were talking about it with her not two hours ago. Do you deny it?"
 "I-"
 Do you deny it?'
 "No!"
 "All right" said George. "That's enoughH'
 She caught at his arm as he turned away What are you going to do George?
 "Pll not talk about it, now" he said heavily. q think you've done a goot deal for one day. Aunt Fannyn
