Calvin GRAY, sworn enemy of Col

Gray falls in love with, Barbara Par

Briskow family, friends of GRAY.
goes to the mountains, where Allie.
the daughter, has tutor Attracted
by her money and her physical
charms the dancing teacher kisses
Allie. Enraged at his advances the
girl throws the professor out of a
window. He lands in a bed of
thorns. Mrs. Ring, the tutor, re-
solves to resign. Allie is in love with
Gray.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
"She chucked the dancin' teacher
out of a winder?" he repeated
blankly. "What for?"
Goodness knows, Mr.. Briskow!

"You don't understand" chat
tered the woman. "She flung the
man bodily out of the window and
into a bed of thorns. 1t nearly killed
him; he was painfully lacerated and
bruised and right in the middle of
a golf game! 1t did something dread
full don't know what-just as
the worlds champion caught the
ball, or something"
"If he's crippled I'll get him
that much easier" said Briskow,
and at the purposeful expression
upon his weather-beaten face Mrs.
Ring uttered a faint bleat of ter
ror. She paved at him as he under

Gray beamed approvingly. Gus. too,
was smiling, but earnestly he said,
I'm right glad to see you Mr.. Gray
for we're in trouble"
In greater detail Briskow made
known the facts. When he had fin
ished his hating recital Calvin
Gray's face was flushed with an
ger, there was a dark frown be-
tween his eyes.
"Well seew he muttered. ''Wait
here-or go back and tell Ma to
commence unpacking." Then he
was gone.
For perhaps ten minutes Gus
waited nervously; he was amazed
finally to see Gray approaching
arm in arm with the manager; both
were laughing, the hotel mans face
was radiant with good humor. To
the departing guest he said, gent
ally:
''You are not going to leave us,
after all, Mr.. Briskow. On the con-
trary we are going to keep you at
the Notch as long as you'll stay. Stu
bid misunderstanding on my part
and | apologize. I'm going to ask
YOU to move, but into a better suite

the rate will be the same. Come
What do you say"
"Dunno's | want to stay at all,
Gus murmured, angrily I'VE amt

ago."
"To be sure, but I've made you
better known, said Gray. "You
are too shy; you didn't afford my
friend here the pleasure of making
YOUR acquaintance, and had to tell
him the sort of person you really
are. Serves you right, Gus, for be,
ing so exclusive. Cad! I think III
give you a few lessons in democ
racy. Now then, come along. In
dyino to see Ma"
AS the father trotted down the
hall beside his swiftly striding de-
liverer, he gasped, "How'd you DC
it?'

had; he was profoundly regretful
as a matter of fact, but it so hap
pened that the Briskow suite had
been reserved early in the season
and the party who made the reser-
walton had just wired that he was
arriving that day. He was a gentle
man of Importance was indeed
unfortunate-the management APP
preciated Mr.. Briskow's patronage
they hoped he and his family
would return to the Notch some
time.
"Mebbe you got other rooms that
would do u.s." Gus ventured.
1t was too bad, but the hotel was
overcrowded. Later, perhaps
Now at that very moment the
lobby was filled with tournament
golfers who were leaving on the
morning train, and Briskow knew
it. He studied the speaker with an
expression that caused the Lattice
extreme discomfort; it was much the
same expression he had worn the
night before when he had served
warning upon Delamater.
1t was with heavy heart and u
heavy tread that Briskow returned
to his room. Ma took the announce
ment like a death blow, for it
meant the end of all her dreams,
all her joyous games Of pretend"

friendly mountains that she loved

AS for Allie, she told herself
that this was the end, She had tried
to make something of herself and
had failed. She had crucified her
self: she had bled her body and
scourged her soul orily to gain
ridicule and disgrace. There was no
use trying further; Gray had been
mistaken in her, and her misery,
her shame at the realization was in
tolerable. There was no facing him
after this.
Allie decided to do away with hers

Z" | don't hear nobody laughing"
Briskow swung his head slowly from
side to side.
Going directly to the desk, he
asked for the manager, then stood
aside, hat in hand, until the latter
made his appearance. The manager
began a hasty and rather mixed
apollo on behalf of the hotel for
what had occurred in the dancing
! room, but his tone of annoyance was
an accusation in itself.

At the door to his suite Gus Bris-

clean of the expression it had worn
for the last few minutes, and when
he entered it was with his usual
friendly smile. Allie and her mother
were waiting; they were white and
silent. Gus kissed his daughter be
