life. We would reach the heights
together.
/ The money which Olga at once
made over to us changed, to some
extent, our mode of living. We
have long, low house, as enchant-
ing as the one I pictured when as
a boy listened to Uncle Jerry's
glowing eloquence. We have books
and a big car which keeps us in
touch with the outside world. NV
wife wears shimmering sillxen eve
ming things, and Aunt Mary, for
the first time in her life, owns q
dinner gown-it is like flame and
she loves it. My father breaches
in q little church which we have
built for him on the mountainside,
and it's bells call the people from
far and wide to worship.
Yet our days are, as a rule,
busy ones. Mimi and I manage
the farm. We have blooded stock
and pedigreed poultry, our little
ducks still go down to the water
to swim; Mimi still coddles her
old hens, looks after the lambs,
and feeds the pigeons.
And our small Stephen grows
sturdily-a lad who belongs to the
hills and sky, to the forest and
streams. He has no thought Of his
inheritance. He has thousand
things to do. AS for the rest, we
can only pray that God will keep
him.
Our happiest days are those
when Mimi and Stephen and I ride
up into the mountains-Mimi in
gray tweed or corduroy; in her hat
the tip of a peacock's feather as
when I first saw her. Sometimes
we ride for days, seeking some
high, clear lake-reaching timber
line, breathing the thin upper air.
We have nights under the stars,
when, with Stephen asleep, we talk
of the things my father said to me
long years before, by a lily
scented pool.

not our money which makes us
rich, nor is it, indeed, our achieve
ments. It is, rather, our aspira-
tons, and our love of each other
and the boy.
Some day am going to write
the book which I have planned.
But the time has not yet come.
Meanwhile, I have penned these
simple chronicles-of a boy who
dreamed, and of a girl who made
his dreams come true.

CHAPTER SO

AFTER DINNER, my father
and Aunt Mary left us with oul
guests. Stephen went with his
grandfather, Jason following. The
cid dog adored the child. and was
his constant companion.
And when we were alone, Olga
said, MAX and have come to ask
YOU to take some Of the money
Mimi"
The set of Minis head gave her
q startled air, like young deer
some upon unawares.
IT thought we had settled that
tong ago, Olga"
mo. We have more than enough,
Max and I. And I want to divide
It between you and Lionel. have
always felt you ought to have 1t,
even when wouldn't admit ii"
IF Grandfather had wanted me
to have it, Olga, he would have
said So"
"He did say so," some Of the
pink had faded from Olga's cheeks.
III came across an old diary Of his
the other day. Max has it. Show
It to Mimi, Max"
Her husband brought out Of his
pocket a small book bound in
black leather. He turned the
pages until he found a certain date,
then handed it to my wife.
She read it, flushed and paled,
then read aloud what the Senator
had written. ct ought to change
my will. Mimi must have her
share. Tomorrow I will speak to
Olga"
F5e never spoke to me-" Olga
explained. "Oh, I hope you will
believe that. He died the next
day"
We did believe it. Whatever
other faults she might have, Olga
was not dishonest. She had laid
the diary away without looking in
It, and it was only by chance that
she had gotten it out again, hoping
to find certain memoranda which
might relate to other affairs.
Mimi, holding the little book
close, said, ut isn't the money
which matters so much, but the
fact that he thought of me-"
She was finding it very hard to
get control Of herself, and knew
that tears were near the surface.
So I spoke for her.
I'VE are very happy here. l am
not sure that money could make us
happier"
well, it could make life easier"
said the practical Olga. "you
know that. Jerry"
And then Mimi flung a question
ut her, why should life be easy ?"
"Oh, well, everybody knows"
Olga informed her, with a certain

complacency. that 1t is much
nicer that way"
She knew it at any rate. She
came of a stock which measured
it's felicities by feather-beds anc
rocking chairs and huge feasts
four times a day. And her mod
ern Interpretation of the things
which make people happy was hel
puffy black and gold furniture, her
luxurious limousine, her fat choc-
olate cakes with her coffee.
Each to his own idea! There
was Mimi, slender as boy, fit as
a fiddle, ready to ride with the best
of us, her mind meeting keenly the
problems of the days work-her
heart satisfied!
And anyhow" Olga was saying,
eff you don't want the money for
yourself, you will want it for the
boy"
stephen! Oh, why should !
want it for Stephen" was Minis
impetuous demand. II don't want
him to lean on the thought Of an
inheritance, as Lionel and I leaned.
It colored everything for US. Some
day we were to have Grand
fathers money; the time between
was simply to be bridged over as
best we could. Why, until Jerry

am not sure that ! can make you
understand. Everybody liked me
because I was good-looking and
wore pretty clothes. But had
never really liked myself"
She was putting it in her whinl-
steal way, smiling a little as she
said it. But knew she was in
dead earnest. She had won her
own self-respect by achievement.
Few women of her e'7ss ever know
the thrill of that feeling.
Her bright glance surveyed us.
"Of course, this doesn't mean that
l am going to renounce the pomp
and vanities of the world. ! am
human, and know what money
will mean to us up here. But I am
half afraid of tt"
I knew that she was afraid for
Stephen. ! held out my hand to
her, "Why should we be afraid of
anything?" asked her.
She came over and sat on the
arm of my chair. We'll, I'm not
really. And it will be wonderful.

ing palace ?"
My Imagination leaped to meet
hers. The thing of which We had
once despaired had come to pass.
And / was glad it had not come
before. For my wife was mine and

have been had we not been tested
and tried. We had fought Shout

remember the occasion but do recall
visiting there later, and being taken
by my old nanny to see the Willard

the porch on Fourteenth street, and
the guests, Congressmen-I was told
sitting there, resting their feet on the
fence.

used to bring me bouquet every Sum-

THE duel near the Chain Bridge be-
L tween John Randolph of Vir-
ginia and Henry Clay of Kentucky
has often been referred to, though it
occurred 112 years ago, on April g.,
Senator Randolph was hot-headed
and vitriolic in his language, and his
many indiscretions usually kept him
in hot water.
Upon this particular occasion he
denounced, in his usual scathing
terms, President John Quincy Adams
and Mr.. Clay. the then Secretary of
State, who at the time was residing
in the Decatur house. at the south
west corner of H street and Jackson
place, into whose portals its late
owner, Commodore Decatur, had only
a few years before been carried fol-
lowing his fatal duel at Bladensburg
with Commodore Barron.
The result of Randolph's utter
ances was q duel-fortunately, a
bloodless one. Near the Chain Bridge
an appropriate spot was selected. Mr..
Clay fired twice, the second shot
passing through the coat of Mr.. Ran
dolph, who, having come to the con-
clusion that he was in the wrong, dis
charged his pistol in the air and ad-
vanced toward Clay, at the same time
Offering his hand and saying, Il did
not fire at you, Mr.. Clay" The lat

whereupon Randolph jocosely re-
marked, "You owe me cloak. Mr..
Clay" to which Clay replied, Il am
glad the debt is no greater"
