CHAPTER XIV.

George took of his dressIng-gown
and put on collar and tie. his fingers
shaking go 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. 1t 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 OF
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 n room like
an elegant well-the Johnsons' ire
ceptIon room"
Mrs. johnson came in, breathing mo-
tlceably; 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-
cedence of the rest of her everywhere ;
but when she was all In the room, 1t
was to be seen that her breathing was
the result Of hospltable haste to greet
the visitor. and her hand suggested
that she had paused for only the brief
est ablutions. George accepted this
