the way he's looked all his life, that
1 can see. What's the matter with
him?"
"He never talks much about his
business to me, but l think he's been
worrying about some investments he
made last year. l think his worry
has affected his health"
"\Nhat investments?" George de-
manded. HE hasn't gone into Mr..
Morgan's automobile concern, has
he??"
"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 a great
deal-pretty much everything they
could get together, I think-into the
stock Of rolling mills some friends
Of theirs owned, and I'm afraid the
mills haven't been doing WE'LL"
"What of that? Father needn't
worry. You and I can take care of
him the rest of his life on what grand

"Of course" she agreed. "But your
fathers always lived so for his bust
ness and taken such pride in his
sound investments; it's a 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

"Well-it's my last night"

for years that this town isn't really fit

however. Going into the big house by
IL 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 a 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 n plaintive murmur as if the
Major tried to keep the peace.
Such sounds were far from encour-
aging to callers. and George decided
not to go upstairs until this interview
was over. He turned from the stair

picked up a magazine-but he did not
open it, for his attention was instant

speaking in the next room. The door
was open and George heard her dis
tinctly.

her tone high and shrewish. "You
needn't tell me anything about Isabel
Minafer, 1 guess, my dear old Frank
Bronson! 1 know her a 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 we'll. He
was a 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 stifly. "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 a 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 a 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 brcakfasting 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, George" 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"
George fastened to assure him. I'm
awfully sorry. But Aunt Fanny vas
so gloomy and excited before l went
out, last evening, I thought she needed
cheering up"
He turned to his mother. "What's
the matter with g~randfather?"
didn't you see him this morning?"
Isabel asked.
"Yes. He was glad to see me, and
all that, but he seemed pretty fidgety.
Has he been having trouble with his
heart again:"
"Not lately. No"
swell, he's not himself. What's he
upset over?"
Isabel looked serious; however, it
was her husband who suggested gloom
lily. II suppose the Majors bothered
about this Sydney and Amelia bust
ness, most likely.
"What Sydney and Amelia bust
nessy" George asked.
"Your mother can tell you, If she
wants to-" Minafer said. "It's not my
side Of the family, so l keep off,"
"It's rather d~isagreeable for all of
us, George" Isabel began. "You see,
your Uncle Sydney wanted a diplo-
matte position, and he thought Brother
George, being in congress, could ar
range it. George did get him the offer
Of a South American ministry, but
Sydney wanted a European ambassa-
dorship, and be got quite indignant
with poor George for thinking he'd

Will Die This Winter

TOXIC, Nov. 10 Correspondence of
The Associated Press). ).-unless some
immediate assistance in the most sub
stantial form is sent to those who are
working in Siberia to stem the raw
ages Of hunger, exposure and disease,
one Of every three among the young
children Of Siberia is doomed to die
this winter, according to the estimate
of the situation sent to Japan by Coun-
tess Tolstoy, Of the Russian Red Cross,
and relative Of the late Count Toll
stoy.
"Ask in almost every family and you
will find that during the past few
months there has been one or more
deaths among the children" writes
Countess Tolstoy from Omsk.
This, of course, applies particularly
to the poor, but even among the pros
porous there has been a decided in
crease of child mortality. I know that
in Tomsk, for instance, a university
town, and one where the average fam
lily seems we'll off, the mortality is
higher than 80 per cent. The per-
centage Of deaths among the children
living in refugee barracks and the
crowded railway box cars which house
thousands along the trans-Siberian
railway line, is higher than 80 per
cent"
