"Ill bother him as little as possible.

But Anderson waited too long. The
Major had already taken eleven months
since his daughters death to think
important things out. One evening
his grandson sat with him-the Major
seemed to like best to have young
George with him, so far as they were
able to guess his preferences-and the
old gentleman made a queer gesture !;
he slapped his knee as If he had made
a sudden discovery, or else remember
ed that he had forgotten something.
George looked at him with an air Of
inquiry, but said nothing. He had
grown to be almost as silent as his
grandfather. However, the Major
spoke without being questioned.

lapsed into silence; but a few min.
utes later he finished the sentence he
had begun:

The next day he had a slight cold
but he seemed annoyed when his son
suggested calling the doctor, and AM
berson let him have his own way so
far, in fact, that after he hard got up
and dressed, the following morning,
he was all alone when he went away
to find out what he hadn't been able
to think out-all those things he had
wished Somebody would tell him.

a polished refusal. The estate was bad

began to walk up and down the floor.
"What else was there to do? What

stopped, close in front of her, gestic-
ulating, his voice harsh and loud
"Was there any other way on earth

"Iou did at the time" he cried.
"Iou said enough then, I think. Well,

Nothing, George"
"It's only because you're afraid to !"
he said, and he went on with a sudden

make up for it by doing and saying

A Low Cry of Tenderness.

The hours passed, and sometimes
the old man upon the bed would snore
a little, stop suddenly, and move as if
to rise, but George Anderson would
set a hand upon his shoulder, and
murmur a reassurlng word or two.
Once George gasped defantly :
'"That doctor in New York said she
might get better! Don't you know he
did? Don't you know he said she
might?"
Anderson made no answer.
Dawn had been murking through
the smoky windows, growing strong
er for half an hour, when both men
started violently at a sound in the
hall; and the Major sat up on the bed.
It was the voice of the nurse speaking
to Fanny Minafer, and the next mo.
ment Fanny appeared in the doorway
making contorted efforts to speak.
Anderson said weakly: docs she
want us-to come in?"
But Fanny found her voice, and ut
tered a long, loud cry. She threw her
arms about George, and sobbed in an
agony Of loss and compassion:
"She loved you" she walled. "She
loved you! She loved you! Oh, how
she did love you'll"
Isabel had just left them.
Major Anderson remained dry-eyed
through the time that followed; he
knew that this separation from his
daughter would be short; that the
separation which had preceded it was
the long one. He worked at his
ledgers no more under his old gas
drop-light, but would sit all evening
staring into the fire, in his bedroom.
and not speaking unless someone ask.
ed him a question. He seemed almost
unaware Of what went on around him
him dazed by Isabel's death, guessing
that he was lost in "reminiscences and
vague dreams. "Probably his mind is
full of pictures Of his youth, OF the
Civil war, and the days when he and
mother were young married people
and all Of us children were jolly little
things-and the city was a small town
with one cobbled street and the Others
just dirt roads with board sidewalks.'
This a George Amberson's conjec.
ture, and the others agreed; but they
were mistaken. The Major was en-
gagged in the profoundest thinking OF
his life. No business plans which had
ever absorbed him could compare in
momentousness with the plans thai
absorbed him now, for he had to plan
how to enter the unknown country
where he was not eve sure Of being
recognized as an Amberson-not sure
Of anything, except that Isabel would
help him If she could. The Major was
occupied with the first really impor
tant matter that had taken his atten'
tion since he came home invaded, af.
ter the Gettysburg campaign, and
went into business, and he realized
that everything which had worried
him or delighted him during this life
time between then and today-all his
buying and building and trading and
banking-that it all was trifllng and
waste beside what concerned him now

He found the doctor standing with
the nurse in the hall; and, telling
them that his mother vas browsing
now. George went back to his own
room, where he was startled to find
his grandfather lying on the bed, and
his uncle leaning against the wall.
They had gone home two hours before,
and he did not know they had return
ed.
"The doctor thought we'd better
come over" Anderson said, then was
/ silent, and George, shaking violently,
sat down on the edge Of the bed. His
shaking continued, and from time to
time he wiped heavy sweat from his
forehead.
