CHAPTER XII.

Almost" was Lucys last word on
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 a 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 Il 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 a fairys wing
She wrote him a month later:
mo. It must keep on being almost.
"Isn't almost pretty pleasant? You
know we'll enough that l care for you
l did from the first minute saw you,
and I'm pretty sure you knew tim
afraid you did. I'm afraid you always
knew it. But it's such a solemn thing
it scares me. 1t means a good deal to
a lot Of people besides you and me.
and that scares me, too. l shouldn't
be a bit surprised to find myself an
old lady, some day, still thinking Of
you-while you'd be away and away
with somebody else perhaps, and me
forgotten ages ago! Lucy Morgan
you'd say, when you saw my obituary.
Lucy Morgan? Let me see: l seem
to remember the name. Didn't I know
some Lucy Morgan or other, once upon
q timer Then you'd shake your big
white head and stroke your long white
beard-you'd have such distinguished
long white beard and you'd say, No.
l don't seem to remember any Lucy
Morgan; 1 wonder what made me think
I didY And poor me! I'd be deep In
the ground, wondering If you'd heard
about it and what you were saying |
Good-by for today. Don't work too
hard-dearl"
George Immediately seized pen and
paper, plaintively but vigorously re-
questing Lucy not to imagine him with
a beard, distinguished or otherwise,
even in the extremitles of age. Then,
after iDscribing his protest in the mat
ter Of this visioned beard, he con.
cluded his mlsslve in tone Modified

Naturally" said George. "He's
been East himself"
At this Fanny's dropping eyelids
opened wide.
''Did you see him."
"Well, naturally, since he made the
trip home with u.s."
Fanny's eyelids dropped, and she
sat silent until George pushed back his
chair and lit a cigarette, declaring his
satisfaction with what she had pro-
vlded. you're a fine housekeeper,"

ana, with secret shame, concealed
his callOusness beneath an affectation
Of solemnlty.
But when he was taken into the
room where lay what was left of VIII
bur Minafer, George had no longer to
pretend; his grief was sufficient. 1t
needed only the sight of that forever
inert semblance Of the quiet man who
had been always so quiet part of his
sons life-so quiet part that George
had seldom been consciously aware
that his father was indeed a part Of
his life. AS the figure lay there, its
very quietness was what was most life
like; and suddenly it struck George
hard. And in that unexpected, racking
grief of his son, Wilbur Mnafer be-
came more wildly Georges father
than he had ever been in life.
When George left the room, his arm
was about his black-robed mother. his

to tenderness, and proceeded 20 read n
letter from his mother which had
reached him simultaneously with
Lucys. Isabel wrote from Asheville,
where she had just arrived with her
husband:
81 think your father looks better al
ready, darling, though we've been here
only few hours. 1t may be we've
found just the place to build him up.
The doctors said they hoped it would
prove to be, and if it is, it would be
worth the long struggle we had with
him to get him to give up and come
I'm afraid that in my anxiety to get
him to do what the doctors wanted
him to, | wasn't able to back up Broth
err George as | should in his difficulty
with Sydney and Amelia. I'm so sorry /!
George is more upset than I've ever
seen him-theyve got what they want
ed, and they're sailing before long,
hear, to live in Florence. Father said
he couldn't stand the constant per-
suadng-Pm afraid the word he used
was nagging.' l can't understand peo-
pie behaving like that. George says
they may be Ambersons, but they're
vulgar I'm afraid almost agree with
him. At least, l think they were in

place agrees with him. 1t does really
seem to already! He's just called in
the door to say he's waiting. Don't
smoke too much, darling boy.
"Devotedly, your mother,
ISABEL"
But she did not keep her husband
there for the six weeks she ANTICIPATED.
She did not keep him anywhere that
long. Three weeks after writing this
letter, she telegraphed suddenly to
George that they were leaving for
home at once; and four days later,
when he and friend came whistllng
into his study, from lunch at the club,
he found another telegram upon his
desk.
He read it twice before he compre-
hended its import.
Papa left us at ten this morning,
dearest.

The friend saw the change in his
face. mot bad newsT
George lifted utterly dumfounded
ayes from the yellow paper.
"My father" he said weakly. "She
says-she says he's dead. I've got to
go home"
His Uncle George and the
Major met him at the station when he
arrived-the first time the Major had
ever come to meet his grandson. The
old gentleman sat in his closed car
riage (Which still needed paint at the
entrance to the station, but he got out
and advanced to grasp Georges hand

George noticed that the Majors
RIGHTEOUSNESS did not disappear, as
they drove up the street, and that he
seemed much feebler than during the
summer. Principally, however, George
was concerned with his own emotion,
or rather, with his lack Of emotion;
and the anxious sympathy of his grand
father and his uncle made him feel
hypocrltlcal. He was not grief-stricR-
en-; but he felt that he ought to be,

aunt Fanny doesn't look much bet
ter" George said to his mother, a few
minutes after their arrival, on the
night they got home. Doesn't she get
over it at all? l thought she'd feel
better when we turned over the insur-
ance to her-gave it to her absolutely,
without any strings to 1t. She looks
about a thousand years old !"
"She looks quite girlish, sometimes,
though" his mother said.
HAS she looked that way much
since father"
"NOt so much" Isabel said thought
fully. "But she will, as time goes on"
"Time1l have to hurry, then, it seems
to me-" George observed returning to
his own room.
When they went down to the dining
room, he pronounced acceptable the
salmon salad, cold beef, cheese and
cake which Fanny made ready for
them without disturbing the servants.
The journey had fatigued Isabel, she
ate nothing, but sat to observe with
tired pleasure the manifestations Of
her sons appetite, meanwhile giving
her sister-in-law a brief summary Of
the events of commencement. But
presently she kissed them both good
night and left aunt and nephew alone
together.

pale" Fanny said absently, a few mo-
ments after Isabel's departure. 81

"How could she1" George asked
cheerfully. "In mourning, of course
all she could do was just sit around
and look on. That's all Lucy could do

both in the picturesque appearance
of the country and the costumes of
the Japanese people as compared
with the general American idea. The
hot July weather developed the Jap in
all degrees of clothing from the nude
or "all together to the pretty we'll
dressed Jap. The stay at Kobe,
likely to be of barely a week, is
expected to prepare US somewhat for
the shock along this line that waits
us at our next stop, Dalny, in China.
Nothing less and one hundred in the
shade here in July and the country
seems to be so alive with these small
yellow Japs that the idea almost
strikes you they must grow on the
trees. From what can be seen around
Kobe. the country would appear to be
quite mountainous, but all is thickly
covered with q beautiful coloring Of
foliage. My first daylight trip, in
land OF the following day, Sunday
gave a glimpse of the beautiful
scenery of the Orient at its best.
After the first glimpse of Japan
obtained from trips inland from Kobe
up the mountain sides and the panor-
ama of scenic beauty pictured on the
coast line viewed in the three days
run to this harbor after sighting land
at our voyage end, the desire for more
grows strong and / hope to return
home with kodak pictures we'll worth
seeing. There are other Japanese
ports at which we stop as we'll as a
few in China. But of where we go
and when we coal up for the home
trip to Seattle is something of which
I have no definite knowledge. Per.
haps we shall all be together at
Christmas.
Our ship the Western Glen has a
length of $50 feet, abo4t a block
and a half, over SO feet in width
and in crossing the ocean maintained
an average of $40 miles a day.
On reaching Kobe she was the big.
gest in the harhor and there were
hundreds of craft of all kinds along
side. I might say that until we
got over 1000 miles from shore we
were in continuous communication
with good old U. S. 4. By the way
on the Fourth of July we were some
1900 miles on our way across the
Pacific with no likelihood of seeing
land for another two weeks. 1t vas
