seemed, at home i'll that Inagnificence
and yet so gay and friendly He re
membered the first time he had danced
with her-and the old waltz song be
gan to beat in his ears and in his
heart.
All the way to New York it seemed
to him that Isabel was near him, and
he wrote Of her TO Lucy from his hotel
the next night:
Il saw an account Of tho accident
Of George Minafer. I'm sorry, though
the paper states that it was plainly
his own fault. I suppose it rnay have
been as a result Of my attention fall
ing upon the item that thought of his
mother a great deal on the way here.
It seemed to me that had never seen
her more distinctly or so constantly,
but, as you know, thinking of his moth
er is not very apt to make me admire
himl OF course, however, he has my
best wishes for his recovery"
He posted the letter, and by the
mornings mail received one from Lucy
written a few hours after his depar-
ture from home. She inclosed the item
he had read on the train and wrote:
Il thought yen might not see it.
Il have seen Miss Fanny and she
has got him put into a room by him
self. Oh, poor Rides-D Everything I
I have been thinking so constantly Of
his mother and it seemed TO me that /
have never seen her more distinctly.
How lovely she was-and how she
loved him 70
If Lucy had not written this letter
Eugene might not have done the odd
thing he did that day. He was an adj
venturer; if he had lived in the six
tenth century he would have sailed
the unknown new seas, but having
been born in the latter part of the
nineteenth, when geography was a
fairly WelI-settled matter, he had be-
come an explorer in mechanics. But
the fact that he was a "hard-headed
business man" as well as an adven-
turer did not keep him from having a
queer spot in his brain, because hard
headed business men are as suscep-
tible to such spots as Adventures are.
Two weeks after Isabei's death, Eu-
gene was in New York on urgent BUSH
ness and found that the delayed ar
rival of a steamer gave him a day with
nothing to do. His room at the hotel
had become intolerable; outdoors was
intolerable; everything was intOlera-
BILE. It seemed to him that he must

once more; that he must find some
way to ner, or lose his mind. Under
this pressure he. had gone, with COM
plete scepticism, to a 'trance-medium'
of whom he had heard wild accounts
from the wife of a business acquaint-
ance.
The experience had been grotesque,
and he came away with an encourage
ing message from his father, who had
failed to identity himself satisfactor-
lily, but declared that everything was
"on higher plane" in his present
state of being, and that all life was
continuous and progressive" Mrs.
HorneP spoke of herself as a
"psyehic;" but otherwise she seemed
oddly unpretentious and matter-of-
fact; and Eugene had no doubt at all
of her sincerity. He went to Mrs.
Horner's after his directors meeting
today. He used the telephone booth in

LEGS BRoKEN.


G. A. Minafer, an employee Of the Ak
ers Chemical company, was run down by
an automobile yesterday at the corner OF
Tennessee and Main and had both legs
broken. Minafer was to blame for the
accident, according to Patrolman F. A.
Kax, who witnessed the affair. The auto
mobile was a small one driven by Herbert
Cottleman Of 21T3 Noble avenue. who stat
ed that he was making less than four
miles an hour. Minafer is said 10 belong
to family formerly Of considerable prom
inence in the city. He was taken to the
City hospital where physicians stated
later that he was suffering from internal
injuries besides the fracture OF his legs,
but might recover.
Eugene read the item twice, then
tossed the paper upon the opposite seat
Of his compartment, and sat looking
out Of the window. His feeling toward
George was changed not jot by his
human pity for Georges human pain
and injury. He thought Of Georges
tall and graceful figure, and he shiv-
cred, but his bitterness was untouched.
He had never blamed Isabel for the
weakness which had cost them the few
years Of happiness they might have
had together; he had put the blame
all on the son, and 1t stayed there.
He began to think poignantly Of Isa-
bel. He closed his eyes and saw her
as she-h had been long ago. He saw the
brown-eyed, brown-haired, proud. gen
tie, laughing girl he had known when
first he came to town, boy just out
Of the State college. He remembered
las he had remembered ten thousand
timGs before-the look she gave him
when her brother George introduced
him to her at a picnic; it was like
