In the town of L., In the Berkshire
aJlla. where the country residences of
fBHhiouable people slione in the gum
mer aun, dwelt Mm. Obrlen and her
daughter. Marguerite. The family name
had been O'Urlen, but when iu founder
left his widow anil duugbter a couple
of million dollars, made In a wen tern
gold mine, ami they deported for the
Atlantic coast to begin to climb a social
greaned pole they I'renehiUuU It Into
Obrlen, and the daughter, who had
been named for tier native state, Mis
souri, became Marguerite.
The Obrieua had built a palatial resi
dence in L. aud beguu their climbing,
but the pole bad beeu so well greased
that they had made very little head
way. One morning at a tennis tourna
ment Marguerite Huddeuly caught her
breath, then said In a low tone to her
mother:
"Oh, my goodness gracious, If there
ain't Tom OiuVrshaw!"
Several years before, when the
O'Brli'iis hud not become Obrlens und
were living on a kiiihII ranch In the
went, a young rngllsliiiian. a neighbor
of theirs, uud fallen lu love with Mis
souri O'Brien. Missouri was a pretty
girl and knew how to captivate a man.
Olderxbuw was u refined fellow, an3 I
with Missouri but the fact that news
came that Mr. O'Brien had "struck; it
rich." Visions of being wealthy bad In
duced the girl to turn down Mr. Older
shaw, aud she bad never seen him
since the evening wbeu she had given
him his quietus.
And now here he was at I, hobnob
bing with the elite of the place, remem
bering them as the O'Briens, they hav
ing become the Olirlcus, and Mis
souri had become Marguerite. And
how had this Britisher, who when they
had known lihn was HiIIiik about like
a common cowboy in woolen shirt and
trousers In boots, suddenly become a
gentleman in fashionable nttlre? There
were two shocks, the one a fiiir that
he would give away their change of
name, the oilier that he had on entree
to the circle from which they were ex
cluded. Besides, it at once occurred to
Marguerite that she might have made
the mistake of her life in throwing him
over her shoulder.
The meeting with the O'Briens, as
he still supposed them to be, was as
much of a shock to Missouri's former
lover as it was to them. Tut a man
In a strange country where he sees no
women of his own station and there Is
no folly he may not commit with one
of another class. Thus Oklershaw had
begun to recover from his Infatuation
for Missouri as soon as separated from
her and when restored to his propel
social Bphere hnd shuddered at his nar
row escape. As soon as he caught
sight of tmj mother and daughter
dressed In the latest fashion the situa
tion flashed upon him. They were In
L. Thut uiemit that they were am
bitious to become members of the so
cial swim. He would be called upon
to help them, and since his disillusion
be knew very well thnt they had no
place there.
But Oldershiiw was true blue. They
had been so fur his friends that ht bad
offered his hand to Missouri. Now that
the scene bad changed he would not
go back on them. He marched straight
up to them and greeted them, though
with embarrassment Marguerite gave
him one of those looks that In the wild
west had enslaved him, but saw that
now It was without effect During the
Interview she slid dexterously from
Missouri to Marguerite and from Miss
O'Brien to Miss Obrlen.
Oldershaw's name had also changed
In the meanwhile. Ills father, who
was an English baronet, had died, and
the son was now Sir Thomas Older
shaw. However, his family, which
was a very old one of extremely blue
blood, was poor, and the young man's
Income was bnrol.v enough to enable
him to maintain his social position. As
soon as Marguerite Olirleu learned of
the change she was smitten with re
gret. Had she accepted him when be

would have enabled t!ie two to climb
to the very top of the sin-lal pole.
She would have hoed that It was not
too late bad she uot been made to tin
ilerstand by the reception of the look
by which she wished to test her power
over Oldershiiw that It bad vanished.
