CHAPTER v.

Having thus, in a word, revealed
his ambition for a career above
courts, marts and polling booths
George breathed more deeply than
usual. and, turning his face from
the lovely companion whom he hat
just made his confidant, gazed out al
the dancers with an expression IL
which there was both sternness and 6
contempt for the squalid lives of the
unyachted Midlanders before him
However, among them he marked hi:
mother, and his somber grandeur re
Taxed momentarily; more genia
light came into his eyes.
Isabel was dancing with the queer
looking duck; and it was to be noted
that the lively gentleman's gait wa:
more sedate than it had been witt
Miss Fanny Minafer, but not less dex
ferrous and authoritative. He saw
George and the beautiful Lucy on the
stairway and nodded to them. George
waved his hand vaguely: he had 6
momentary return of that inexplicablt
uneasiness and resentment which hat
troubled him downstairs.
How lovely your mother is" Lucy
said.
II think she is" he agreed gently
ashes the gracefulest woman in thai
ballroom. How wonderfully they dance
tOgether!"
"Who?
"Your mother and-and the queer
looking duck" said Lucy. "Tm goin!
to dance with him pretty soon.'
81 don't care-so long as you dom
give him one of the numbers tha
belong to me-"
'Tll try to remember she said
and thoughtfully lifted to her face
the bouquet of violets and lilies, {
gesture which George noted withou
approval.
"Look here! Who sent you those
flowers you keep maxim such fuss
over?"
"He did"
"Who's hep"
"The queer-looking DICK"
George feared no such rival; hi
laughed loudly. 81 s'pose he's some
old widower" he said, the object
thus described seeming ignominiou:
enough to person Of eighteen, with
out additional characterization.
Lucy became serious at once. "Yes
he is widower," she said. 81 ought
to have told you before; he's my IA
ther."
George stopped laughing abruptly

here and In the East against selling
tickets to or through the troubled areas.
Mainly. the strikes in the south are
OF members of the big four" railroad
brotherhoods. but in northern California,
where they began yesterday and last

ployes. A committee named by strik'
ing yard employees here last night has

more tickets TO any point for the pres.
