tnat James was going to give up his
car. | had no idea he was going to
house parties. but no matter"
"Well, l don't see why he shouldn't"
said Barbara. Il should think young
man in his position could go where he
wanted. He was at the Van der
Drinks house party the week before
to meet that COUNT can't pronounce
his name. Miss Henshaw was there,
too. There isn't anywhere that he
isn't invited"
how managed to get away from the
annoying young Barbara.
The next day he called at his own
and his nephew's bank 1t seemed as
If he must be managing somehow to
get money, though he had given him
no allowance for over month and
he had agreed not to borrow At the
bank there were no charges against
him. Then the uncle, irate to the
point of wishing to disinherlt him,
sent for his lawyer. "Meet me day
after tomorrow morning at IL in my
IL ypu Ndhs TIC Sulu. III nave
my young scapegrace Of nephew
there for a conference. I am going
to cut him off with a few hundred
dollars. and want him to understand
it."
Uncle NARROW had already tele-
graphed to the address in Tllton
which his nephew had given him as
his headquarters for the summer. The
next day just before the appointment
to which he had been summoned he
received a telegram in return.
Sorry" said the message, "but job
prevents coming. VIII come end of
week. Working hard"
""Job," sputtered the uncle, now per-
fectly sure that nothing would alter
his determination to disinherit this
nephew who deceived him and then
lied about 1t. That he had lied he felt
sure, because the telegram had been
sent from Billinghurst, so II was quite
clear that he was still at a millionaire
house party.
James NARROW, younger, sauntered
into his uncle's office at the end Of
the week. This Is the first time OFF
I've had for weeks" he said, "and
believe me 1t seems good l haven't
had a minute to myself"
$50 you are working?" said the
uncle, with an lll-cOncealed sneer.
II promised to-and am keeping my
promise" said the young man, head
high and just enough fire in his eve
and color in his cheek to show that he
resented the question.
81 have learned something about
what you have been doing this sum-
mer," said the uncle slowly, trying
not to show the tremor in his voice.
but you told me. cir. that you did
not object to any honest sort OF work"
But I've heard" insisted the
uncle, only to be interrupted by his
nephew.
III you have heard of my engage
sment before I had an opportunity to
tell you, I am sorry. In fact | don't
see how 1t happened, as I thought no
one but Barbara and I knew"
Engagement" gasped the uncle.
"Worse and worse. Barbara who"

daughter. | told her that I had no
money and insisted on having her tell

that II | was a NARROW and anything
like my uncle James NARROW I'd make
good. was very proud to be your
nephew, sir.

I shall be more deliberate In selecting
a position"
''But you haven't been working"
stormed the elder James NARROW, "and
1t was Barbara Lattern who let the
cat out of the bag. You've been loaf
