for thinking there might be truth in
what Aunt Amelia said about people

that Morgan might be coming here too

desolately. II think he did come as

"What!"

things to a persons family, you know.
You don't suppose anybody was going
to say to George ANDERSON that his
sister was getting herself talked about,
do you? Or that they were going to
say much to me?"
"You told me-" said George, fiercely,
that mother never saw him except
when she was chaperoning you"
They weren't much alone together,
then," Fanny returned. Hardly ever,
before Wilbur died. Everybody knew
that he'd been engaged to her"
whats that?" George cried.
Everybody knows it. Don't you re-
member your grandfather speaking Of
it at the Sunday dinner one night?"
"He didn't say they were engaged
Or"
"Well, they were! Everybody knows
it; and she broke it off on account of
that serenade when Eugene didn't
know what he was doing. He drank
when he was a young man, and she
wouldn't stand for it, but everybody
in this town knows that Isabel has
never really cared for any other man
in her life! Poor Wilbur! He was
the only soul alive that didn't know
it !"
Nightmare had descended upon the
unfortunate George; he leaned back
against the f%ootboard of his bed, gaz-
ing wildly at his aunt. ~ believe I'm

d%ignation.
"How d'you do?" he said. II trust

He stopped, for it seemed to him
that the word trust" sounded idiotic.
Then, to owe his awkwardness, he
coughed, and even to his own rosy
ears his cough was ostentatiously a
false one. Lucy sat silent and the
two Sharon girls leaned forward, star

lips tightly compressed and both were

an agitation which threatened their

"Look here" George interrupted in
a shaking voice. "Look here, I'd

his agitation was so great. His chest
heaved as from hard running, and his
complexion, pallid at first, had be-

before he closed the door he heard
from Janie and Mary Sharon the out.
burst of wild, irrepressible emotion
which his performance had inspired.
He drove home in a tumultuCus
mood, and almost ran down two ladies
who were engaged in absorbing con.
versation at a crossing. They were
his Aunt Fanny and Mrs. Johnson; a
jerk of the reins at the last instant
saved them by a few inches; but thei,

lie drove into the Majors stable too
fast, the s%agacious Pendennis saving
himself from going through a partition
by a swerve which splintered a shaft
Of the runabout and almost threw the
driver to the floor. George swore, and
then swore again at the fat old darkey,
Tom, for giggling at his swearing.
He strobe from the stable, crossed
the Majors back yard, then passed
behind the new houses, on his way
home. These structures were now ap-
preaching completion, but still in a
state of rawness hideous to George
though, for that matter, they were
never to be anything except hideous
to him.
IN this temper he emerged from be-
hind the house nearest his own and,
glancing toward the street, saw his
mother standing with Eugene Morgan
upon the cement path that led to the
front gate. She was bareheaded and
Eugene held his hat and stick in his
hand; evidently he had been calling
upon her, and she had come from the

George. stared at them. A hot dis
like struck him at the sight CT Eu-
gene; and a vague revulsion, like a
strange, unpleasant taste in his mouth,
came over him as he looked at his
mother; her manner was eloquent Of
so much thought about her companion
and of such reliance upon him.
The two began to walk on toward
the gate, where they stopped, turning
to face each other, and Isabel's glance,
passing Eugene, fell upon George. In
stantly she smiled and waved her
hand to him, while Eugene turned and
nodded; but George, standing as In
some rigid trance, and staring straight
at them, gave these signals of greeting
no sign Of recognition whatever. Upon
this, Isabel called to him, waving her
hand again.
"Georgle" she called, laughing.
"Wake up, dear! George, hello!"
George turned away as If he had
neither seen nor heard. and stalked
into the house by the side door.
