Grains of Dust BY Anthony Carlyle

ostentation. 1T was not until some
little while after that the world
his new world-gradually discover
ed that "Fanshawe's Fertilizer"
was a very paying concern, and
that his yearly income made him
quite wealthy enough to be indis-
criminately dubbed a millionaire.
After which discovery society
warmed to him quite noticeably.
He became popular. His invita-
tions increased in quantity as we'll
as quality. Altogether he was
settling down quite nicely when
Lady Denning asked him to join
her party at The Warren.
It was mid-Winter, the roads
were bad and his car had broken
down half way, with the result that
he had arrived long after the din
ner hour. Refreshed by soup and
sandwiches, he had changed and
come in to join in the impromptu
dance, and had been promptly and
eagerly taken possession of by
Brenda Waring, with whom he had
become acquainted a couple Of
months or SO before, and of whom,
on and off, he had seen quite
good deal since.
In this manner he found himself
beneath the same roof as Fancy
Revell.
After her first hasty, kindly
greeting he had seen little of his
hostess. Now, looking at him, for
the fraction of a second, she ap-
peared to hesitate, vague uncer-
tainty in her expression.
Involuntarily she glanced across
to where Fancy Revell stood, the
centre of little group of men,
Austin Knowles lowering in the
immediate background; then she
brought her eyes back to Fam
shawe's jolly face. They betrayed
a faint perturbation, and he raised
his brows quizzically.
"Well?" he asked, and she flush
ed little.
Forgive me-" she said. 81 for

most as if you regretted it."
Lady Denning made a hasty ges-
ture.

"She finds shelter, warmth and
food fitting from one persons
house to another, yet she gives her
self the airs of a duchess. She's a
Revell of Revell. 1t doesn't matter
that the Revells of Revell haven't
had a penny to bless themselves
with for generations, and that
Revell itself is literally falling to
pieces and is let for a mere song.
The bluest blood of Spain, the
truest of Irish run in their veins.
So they boast, and more proudly
than Fancy herself.
"Tn her own opinion verify be-
lieve she is the greatest lady here
tonight. She admits no ,superiors.
She is angelic to her interiors so
long as they give her respectful
service. She condescends to those
whom she considers less blessed
with birth than herself, while she
regards those who have made their
money in-er-business, and who
aspire to social standing as intoler-
able and beneath contempt. Once
a tradesman, always a tradesman,
she declares, and deeply resents
the slow but sure invasion of that
particular clasS into the magic in
ner circle Wherein she moves. 1t
is all just a little absurd, don't you
think so?"
During the latter part of her
speech there had been the faintest
gleam of malice in her eyes. She
had not failed to see the admiration
in Billy's as they had dwelt upon
Austin Knowles's partner, and she
was ruffied and annoyed. Also she
considered it desirable that Fan
shave of "Fanshawe's Fertilizer"
should receive hint of warning as
to his probable reception by Miss
Reyell, should he aspire to an in
PRODUCTION.
Whether or not he had taken
that hint she could not guess. His
jolly, round face was unperturbed;
his eyes met hers with the cherubic
sunniness of very young baby's.
Yet beneath them Brenda Waring
stirred just shade uneasily, al
ready repenting her own bad taste.
Somewhat abruptly she got to her
feet.
"Shall we dance again." she
asked, and, still placidly smiling,
Billy Fanshawe slipped his arm
about her waist.
A few minutes later he present
ed himself before his hostess.
Lady Denning," he said, will
you do me a big favor and intro
duce me to Miss RevLll?"

CHAPTER ii.
ADY DENNING looked sur

prised, almost startled. She
was big, handsome woman,
with full brown kindly eyes, and a
= disposition of amiable sweetness
which made her an ideal hostess,
especially of young people.
Her own children she frankly
spoiled. Her pretty Surrey home
was always open house to their
friends and acquaintances at any
time, and she was seldom without
guests.
William Fanshawe was the latest
of these. One of Lucy Denning's
elder boys had met him a few
months previously on a voyage over
from New York, had taken a liking
to him, and finding that he had few
acquaintance and no friends in
England had promptly brought him
. home.
In this wise he had entered into
a more or less exclusive circle of
society to which, under other cir
cumstances, he could scarcely have
hoped to penetrate, at any rate so
soon.
Willy-nilly, Lady 'Denning was
made sponsor for him, and if she
sighed little at first she soon
smiled again. Billy Fanshawe
might be an outsider, plebeian of
birth and alarmingly unlearned in
social ways and customs at times,
but he was singularly likable. His
credentials, financially, were sound.
He was unassuming, always merry
and unaffectedly grateful for the
friendship extended to him. At the
same time there was no inclination
upon his part to fawn upon people
in a higher and more influential
position than himself.
A gentleman he might not be by
birth, but he was moderately well
educated, had acquired a certain
amount of polish and was well able
to hold his own in an unobtrusive
way in any company.
He made no pretensions to being
what he was not; but he was adapt
able and observant, and he found
little difficulty in conforming to
the rules of his new life.
Young Denning found his room
in town, introduced him largely,
but with discrimination, while Lady
Denning invited him to dances, din
ners and house parties.
Thus favorably launched he
made excellent headway for him
self. He acquired friends as well
as acquaintance. He went about,
enjoyed himself thoroughly and

BASEBALL PLAYERS HAVE GRIEVANCES
8 HENRY L. FARRELL

NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-General opin-
ion rates professional baseball as one
of the best paying sports for athletes
Some mistaken notions, however, are
spread regarding the big salaries paid
to ball PLAYERS, according to Kay j.
Cannon, who is helping the players to
form an organization.
Cannon says that the average salary
of the professional baseball player Is
81, 1000 4 year.

most of the players were getting al
least $4,000 a year if the yelps of th(
