CHAPTER VI.

Ordinarily Mr. Cullen was satisfied
to bring a single evening paper home
with him and when he laid 1t on the
hall table it was generally creased
down the financial page; but tonight
he brought two. and each OF them had
wrinkles across the market reports
and were folded so as to feature the
departments devoted to local news.
The journal had beaten the Herald by
two sticks and a subhead. but the Her
aid had honored Dicky Morgan with a
kindly editorial and both papers had
stated explicitly where Hilliard was
making his headquarters. Mr.. Cullen
would have been seriously offended II
he hadn't been mentioned ut least once
in each paper; and this Is no more a
reelection upon his vanity than the fact
that he cherished lively anticipation
for what the Post-Standard was going
TO say about the case tomorrow morn
Ing.
Nevertheless, there was fly In the
ointment-not very much OF fly. to
be sure, but stlll appreciable; and aft
er all. 1t isn't the size of the invader
that counts. Mr.. Cullen was generous; !;
Mr.. Cullen was hospitable; but Mr..
Cullen was also the tiniest bit of a
snob-not a carping. contemptuous,
supercilious snob. hut healthy,
hearty. open-spirited snob. frank in
his liking for the things he liked-and
one of them was to he somebody, and
have the neighbors know 1t. He liked
to fraternlze with important men; he
liked to see his name in the paper
now and then; he liked TO feel superior
just one harmless little degree more
consequential-than his next-door
neighbor. And the neighbor. of course.
had to share this conviction. or there
wasn't any purpose In 1t.
And Mr.. Cullen. with all his ingenu-
GUS weakness for prominence, hadn't
known until the evening papers told
him so. hadn't even suspected (al-
though now he was trying busily 10
persuade himself that he had suspect
ed 1t all along. from one thing and an
other) that his guest was mining en-
gineer of international reputation, and
