CHAPTER VI.

Ordinarily Mr.. Cullen was satisfied
to bring a single evening paper home
with him and when he laid ii on the
hall table 1t 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
kindly editorial and both papers had
stated explicitly where Hllliard was
making his headquarters. Mr.. Cullen
would have been seriously offended If
he hadn't been mentioned at least once
in each paper; and this is no more
reflection 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 a fly in the
ointment--not very much of fly, to
be sure, but still appreciable; and aft
that counts. Mr.. Cullen was generous;
Mr.. Cullen was hospitable; but Mr..
Cullen was also the tiniest bit of
snob-not a carping, contemptuous,
supercilious snob, but healthy,
hearty. open-splrited snob, frank In
his liking for the things he liked-and
one of them was TO be somebody, and
have the neighbors know it. He liked
TO fraternize 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
consequental-than his next-door
neighbor. And the neighbor, of course
had TO share this conviction, or there
wasn't any purpose in II.
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 Gal

persuade himself that he had suspect
