$1723 collected among the guests
that was to be presented in appre-
citation of the valor which, it was
understood from letters to his father,
Will had shown on the field of

| The guests were in their usual
places when Wallie came from break
fast and stood for moment in the
spacious double doorway. A cheer
full chorus welcomed him as soon as
he was discovered, and Mrs. G. D.
Budlong put out her plump hand and
held his. He did not speak in
stantly, for his eye was rowing over
the veranda as if in search of some
body, and when it rested upon Miss
Spencely sitting alone at the far end
he seemed satisfied and inquired So
licitously of Mrs. Budlong: did
you sleep we'll? You are looking
splendid!"
There were some points of resem-
blance between Mrs. Budlong and
the oleander in the green tub be-
side which she was sitting Her
round, fat face had the pink Of the
blossoms, and she was nearly as mo-
tionless as if she had been potted.
She often sat for hours with roth

that saw everything. to show that
she was not in state of suspended
animation. Her husband called her
'Honey-dumplin', and they were a
most affectionate and congenial cou-
pie, although she was as silent as
he was voluble.

Mrs. Budlong. Mrs. Budlong ran the

often had the impression she was
calling her husband "Seedy," though
the name was as unsuitable as we'll

feverish haste of a piece-worker in a

He stood before her obediently.

"The girl from Wyoming" as he
called Miss Spencely to himself, had

with an expression in her eyes which
made him redden. 1t was mocking;
she was laughing at him for being

"The Happy Family"

"The Happy Family"
The guests of the Colonial Hotel
arose brisky each morning or moth
ing. After a night of refreshing and
untroubled sleep they dressed and
hurried to breakfast after the man.
ner of travellers making close con-
nections. Then each repaired to his
favorite chair placed in the same
spot on the wide veranda to wait
for luncheon. The more energetic
sometimes took wheel-chair for an
hour and were pushed on the Board
walk or attended an auction sale OF
antiques and curios, but mostly their
lives were as placid and eventful
as those Of the inmates of an insti-
tuition.
The greater number of the male
guests of the Colonial had retired
from something thanking, wholesale
drugs, the manufacture of woolens.
The families were all perfectly ia
miliar with one another's financial
rating and histories, and although
they came from diverse sections OF
the country, they were for two
months or more like one large, SUI
premely contented family. In truth,
they called themselves facetiously,
THE Happy Family" and in this
way Mr.. Cone, who took an immense
pride in them and in the fact that
they returned to the hospitable roof
summer after summer, always re-
ferred to them.
Strictly speaking, there were two
branches of the Family: those
whose first season antedated 1900,
and the newcomers" who had spent
only eight or ten, or twelve sum-
mers at the Colonial They were
allgon the most friendly terms imag-
Unable, yet each tacitly recognized
the distinction. The original Hap
py Family" occupied the rocking
chairs on the right-hand side Of the
wide veranda, while the newcomer"
took the left, where the view was
not quite so good and there was a
trifle less breeze than on the other.
The less said of the transient"
the better. The few who stumbled
in did not stay unless by chance
they were favorably known to one
of the "permanents." OF course,
there was no rudeness ever-merely
the polite surprise of the regular oc-
cupants when they find stranger
in the pew on Sunday morning.
Wallace Macpherson belonged in
the group of older patrons, as his
aunt, Miss Mary Macpherson, had
been coming since 1897, and he him
self from the time he wore curls
and ruffled collars, or after his aunt
had taken him upon the death of his
parents.
"Waliie.'' as he was called by ev-
erybody, as the one eligible man un-
der sixty, was, in his way, as much
of an asset to the hotel as the no
toriously wealthy Mr.. Penrose. OF
an amiable and obliging disposition,
he could always be relied upon to
escort married women with mutin-
ous husbands, and ladies who had
none, mutinous or otherwise. He
was twenty-four, and in appearance
a credit to any woman he was seen
with, to say nothing of the two hun
dred thousand it was known he
would inherit from Aunt Mary, who
now supported him.
The morning on the veranda prom
ised to be lively one, since, in ad-
dition to the departure of old Mr..
Penrose, the return from the war of
Will Smith, the gardeners son, was
anticipated There was bunting over
the doorway and around the pill

changing her room, and so I shall
tell him" Mr.. Budlong, who had
made "his" in white lead and paint
and kept chauffeur and a limlf1-
sine, felt that his disapproval wotid
mean something to the proprietor.
"Oh, Wallet"
Wallie felt relieved when he saw
Mrs. Henry Appel beckoning him.
AS he was on his way to Mrs. Appel,
Miss Matte Gaskett. clutched at his
arm and detained him.
Did you see the robins this morn
ing, Wallie?"
Are they here?"
Eyes, dozen of them They do
remind me so of my dear South
land!" Miss Gaskett was from Mary
land.
The summer wouldn't be the same
without either of you," he replied,
gallantly.
Miss Gaskett shook a coquettish
finger at him.
"You flirt! You have pretty
speeches for everyone"
Wallie did not seem displeased by
the accusation as he passed on to
Mrs. Appel.
The Appels were among the i'm
portant families of the Colonial he
cause the richest next to Mr.. Pen
rose. They were from Mauch Chunk,
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Appel owned an
thracite coal land and street rail
ways, so if Mr.. Appel squeezed pen
nies and Mrs. Appel dressed in rem
nants from the bargain counter their
economies were regarded merely as
eccentricities.
Mrs. Appel held up a sweater.
won't you tell me how to turn this
shoulder? I've forgotten Do ycu
purl four and knit six, or purl SIX
and knit four, Wallie?"
Wallie laughed immoderately.
Eight" Mrs. Appel! Purl eight
and knit four-I told you yesterday.
That's lovely piece of Battenburg,
Mrs. Stott. When did you start it?"
Last month, but I've been so busy
with teas and parties many,
many things going on. Don't you
think it will make a lovely dresser
scarf? What would you line it with?"
Pink, absolutely that delicate
shade like the inside of sea-shell."
"You are such an artist, Wallie!
Your taste is perfect"
Wallie did not contradict her.
Strictly, Mrs. Stott did not belong
in the group in which she was seat
ed. She had been coming to the Co
lonial only eleven years, so really
she should have been on the other
side of the veranda, but Mrs. Stott
had such an insidious way of get
ting where and what she wanted that
she was zone of them" almost be-
fore they knew it.
Mr.. Stott was a rising young attor-
ney of forty y-eight, and it was antici-
pated that he would one day be a
leading lawyer because of his ag-
gressiveness.
| Wallie's voice took on a sympa-
thetic tone. He stopped in front of
chair where very thin young lady
was reclining languidly.
"How's the bad heart today, Miss
Eyester?"
about as usual, Wallie, thank
you,' she replied, gratefully.
Your lips have more color"
Miss Eyester opened a handbag
and, taking out a small, round mir
ror which she carried for the pur-
pose, inspected her lips critically.
1T does seem so," she admitted.
If can just keep from getting ex-
cited"
Il can't imagine a better place
than the Colonial" The reply con-
tanned a grain of irony.
That's why come here" Miss
Eyester sighed, though I'm pining
to go somewhere livelier"
Wallie wagged his head playfully.
"Treason! Treason! Why, you've
been coming here for" Miss Eye
ster's alarmed expression caused him
to finish lamely-"for ever so long"

bat il is hoped later to extend the
new designs-amounting almost to
a program of standardization-to
national bank notes and ultimately
to the rare gold certificates.
Working to make the job of the
counterfeiter less remunerative
treasury experts chose the method
of standardizing designs, giving one
denomination of all kinds Of
currency one distinctive design for
face and back, so that those persons
into whose possession the money
comes may recognize instantly if
alteration has been attempted

selected
