the last night of Georges vacation
that vital evening which she had half
consented to agree upon for settling
things" between them. almost en-
gagged" she meant. And George, dis
cOntented with the almost" but con-
tented that she seemed glad to wear a
sapphire locket with tiny photograph
of George Anderson Minafer inside it,
found himself wonderful in new
world at the final instant of their part
ing. For, after declining to let him
kiss her "good-by," as If his desire for
such a ceremony were the most pre-
posterous absurdity In the world, she
had leaned suddenly close to him and
left upon his cheek the veriest feather
from fairy's wing.
She wrote him a month later:

gan to clear away the china and silver
George was distressed. II didn't
mean anything. Aunt Fanny didn't
know you'd got so sensitive as all
that"
you'd better go up to bed" she
said desolately, going on with her work
and her weeping.
He obeyed, and could still hear q
pathetic shifting from the dining room
as he went up the stairs.
'By Georgel" he grunted, as he
reached his own room; and his thought
was that living with person so sensi-
tive to kindly raillery might prove
lugubrious. He went to the window
and looked through the darkness to
the great silhouette of his grandfa7
theirs house. Lights were burning over
there, upstairs; probably his newly
arrived uncle was engaged in talk with
the Major.
Georges glance lowered, resting cas-
ually upon the indistinct ground, and
he beheld some vague shapes, unfa-
miliar to him. FOrmless heaps, they
seemed; but, without MUCH curiosity,
he supposed that sewer connections or
water pipes might be out of order,
making necessary some excavations.
Not greatly disturbed, he pulled down
the shade, yawned, and began to IN
dress, leaving further investigation for
the morning.
But In the morning he had forgotten
all about 1t, and raised his shade, to
let in the light, without even glancing
toward the ground. Not until he had
finished dressing did he look forth
from his window, and then his glance
was casual. The next instant his at
titude became electric, and he ran
from his room, plunged down the
stairs, out Of the front door, and, upon
q nearer view of the destroyed lawn,
began to release profanity upon the
breezeless summer air, which remained
unaffected. Between his mothers
house and his grandfather's, eXcava-
lions for the cellars of five new
houses were in process, each within a
few feet of it's neighbor.
1t was Sunday, and so the worlSmen
implicated in these defacings were de-
MED what unquestionabIy they would
have considered a treat; but as the
fanatic orator continued the mono
logue, a gentleman in flannels emerged
upward from one of the excavations,
and regarded him cOntemplatively
"Obtaining any relief, nephew? he

SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER I-Major ANDERSON had
made fortune in 1873 when other people
were losing fortunes, and the magnifCence
OF the Ambersons began then. Major Am
berson laid out a 2OO-acre development"
with roads and statuary, and in the centre
of q four-acre tract, on ANDERSON avenue,
built for himself the most magnificent
mansion the Midland City had ever seen.
CHAPTER u.-When the majors
daughter married young WILDER Minafer
the neighbors predicted that as Isabel
could never really love Wilbur all her
love would be bestowed upon the children.
There was, only one child, however
George ANDERSON Minafer, but his up
bringing and his youthful accomplish
ments as a mischief maker were quite In
keeping with the most pessimistic predic-
tons.
CHAPTER III.-By the time George
went away to college he did not attempt
to conceal his belief that the Ambersons
were about the most important family in
the world. At ball given in his honor
when he returned from college, George
monopolized Lucy Morgan, stranger and
the prettiest girl present, and got on ia
mously with her until he learned that
queer looking duck" at whom he had
been poking much fun, was the young
lady's father. He was Eugene Morgan a
FORMER resident of Bgburg, and he was
returning there to erect a factory and to
build horseless carriages of his own in
Vention.
CHAPTER IV.-Eugene was an old ad-
mirer of Isabeps and they had been en-
gagged when Isabel threw him over be-
cause of some youthful indiscretion and
married Wilbur Minafer.
CHAPTER V.-George makes rapid
progress in his courtship of Lucy.
CHAPTER VI.-While driving with
Lucy, next day, George allows the horse
to get beyond control and the animal
overturns the cutter, splitting George and
Lucy in the snow, unhurt, although
George is greatly annoyed.
CHAPTER VII.-George reveals intense
dislike of Morgan, whom he suspects of
financial designs on his uncle or grand
father. His aunt, Fanny Minafer, to his
great establishment, sharply rebukes him.
CHAPTER .VIII.-Home on vacation,
George has a heart-to-heart talk with his
mother in which the state of the family
finances and his fathers failing health,
both figure. George is optimistic as to
both.
CHAPTER IX.-Hearing rumors con-
corning Lucy and her suitors-in particu-
lar Fred Kinney-George urges her to
consent to a formal engagement of mar
rage, but Lucy refuses.

And with gesture of despair, plain
ly signifying that all too soon after
leaving bright college years behind
him he had entered into the full
tragedy of life, George turned bitterly
upon his heel and went into the house
for his breakfast.
His uncle, with his head whimsicalIy
upon one side. gazed after him not al
