Pui Compaar. 8YNOP8I3. CHAPTER I. Major Atnbmon had mad a fortune In 1K73 when other people were los ing fortune, and the magnificence of the Ambemon'B began then, Major Amberson laid out a 200-acre "development," with roads and statuary, and in the centre of a four-acre tract on Amberson avenue, built for himself the most magnificent mansion the Midland City had ever seen. CHAPTER II. Wheii the, major's daughter married young Wllber Mfnafer the neighbors predicted that Isabel could never really love Wilbur all her love would be bestowed upon the children. There wan only one child, however. George Amberson Minafer, but his up brlMKlnK and his youthful accomplish menu as a mischief maker were quite in keeping with the most pessimistic predic tions. CHAPTER III. By the time George went away to college he did not attempt to conceal his belief that the Ambersons were about the moat Important family in the world. At a ball given in hla honor when he returned from college, George monopolized Lucy Morgan, a stranger and tlie prettiest girl present, and got on fa mously with her until he learned that a "queer looking duck" at whom he had been poking much fun, was the young Indy's father. He was Eugene Morgan, a former resident of Blgburg, and he was returning there to erect a factory and to build horseless carriages of hla own In vention. CHAPTER IV. The hero nf the fete, with the dnrk eyed little beauty upon his arm, reached the top of the second flight of stnlrs; nnd here, beyond a spnelnns Innding, wheats two proud-like darkles tended ir crystalline punch bowl, four wide archways In a rose-vine lattice framed eliding silhouettes of waltzers, already smoothly at It to the castanets of "La Palomn." Old John Minafer, evidently surfeited, was In the net of leaving these delights escorted by a middle-aged man of commonplace ap pearance. The escort hud n dry, lined face upon which, not ornamentally hut us u matter of course, there grew a business man's short mustache; and his thin neck showed an Adam's apple, but not conspicuously, for there was nothing conspicuous about him. Bnlrt Ish, dim, quiet, he was an unnntice ahle part of this festival, and although there were a dozen or more middle aged men present, not cusimlly -to be distinguished from him in general as pect, he was probably the last person In the big house at whom a strnngei would liuve glanced twice. It did not enter George's mind to mention to Miss Morgan that this was his father, or lo say anything whatever about him. Mr. Minafer shook his son's hand unobtrusively in passing. "I'll tuke Uncle John home," he said In a low voice. "Then I guess I'll go on home myself I'm not n great hand at purties, you know. Good night, George," (Jeorge murmured a friendly enough good night without pausing. Ordi narily he was not ashamed of the Min afer ; be seldom thought about them at all, for he belonged, as most Amer lean children do, to (he mother's fnm lly hut he was anxious not to linger with Miss Morgan in the vicinity of old John, whom he felt to be a dis grace. He pushed brusquely through the friii;; of calculating youths who were gathered in the arches, watching for chances to dance only with girls who would s-xin be taken off 'heir hands, and led bis stranger lady out upon the floor. They caught the time Instantly, und were away in the waltz. George danced well, and Miss Mor gan seemed to float as part of the mu sic, the very dove Itself of "La Pold ma." George became conscious of George Wanted Well and Mist Moroar ftssmtd to Float. strange feeling within him: an exal tation of soul, tender but Indefinite, nnd seemingly located In the upper part of hla diaphragm. The stopping of the music cam upon him like the waking to an alarm clock ; for Instantly six or seven of the calculating persona about the en trywayn bore down Uxn Miss Morgan to secure dances. George had to do with one already established as belle. It seemed. "Give me the next and the one after tbHt, he said hurriedly, recovering some presence of mind, Just as the nearct applicant reached them. "And KJV: Uul wYLTy third one lbs rest of the evening." Bhe laughed. "Are you tsklnrT "What do you mean, 'asking?" "It sounded at though yon were Just telling mo to giro you all thosa dances." ' , "Well. I want 'em I" George Insisted. "Are yon going to give me" . "Good gracious I" she laughed. "Yes!" The applicants flocked round her, urging contracts for what remained, but they did not dislodge George from her side, though he made It evident that they succeeded In annoying him; nnd presently, he extricated her from an accumulating siege she must have connived In the extrication and bore her off to ait beside him upon the stairway that led to the musicians' gallery, where they were sufficiently retired, yet had a view of the room. "How'd all those ducka get to know you so quick?" George Inquired, with little enthusiasm. . "Oh, I've been here a, week." "Looks as If you'd been prettv busy !" he said. "Most of those ducks, I .don't know what my mother wnnted to Invite 'em here for," "Perhaps It was on account of their parents," Miss Monro n suggested mildly. "Maybe she didn't want to offend their fathers and mothers." "Oh, hardly! I don't think my mother need worry much about offend ing anybody In thle old town." "It must be wonderful," said Miss Morgan. "It mur.t be wonderful. Mr. Amberson Mr. Minafer, I menn." "What must be wonderful?" "To be so Important as that!" "That Isn't 'Important, " George as sured her. "Anybody that really la anybody ought to be able to do about as they like In their own .town. I should think !" She looked at him critically from under her shading lashes but her eyes grew gentler almost at once. In truth, they beenmc more appreciative than critical. George's Imperious good looks were altogether manly, yet ap proached nctunl beauty as closely as a boy's good looks should dare: nnd dunce music nnd (lowers nave some effect upon nineteen-year-old girls as well as upon elghteen-yeur-old boys. The stairway was drafty: the sv-p: were narrow nnd uncomfornhle : no older person would have remained In such a place. Moreover, these two young people were strangers to each other; neither had said anything In which the other had discovered the slightest Intrinsic Interest; there had not arisen between them the begin nings of congeniality, or even of friendliness but stairways near ball rooms have more to answer for thiin have moonlit lakes and mountain sun sets. Age, confused by Its own long ac cumulation of follies, Is everlastingly Inquiring, "what does she see In him?" as If young love came about through thinking or through conduct. At eighteen one goes to a dance, sits with a' stranger on stairway, feels pe culiar, thinks nothing, and becomes Incapable of any plan whatever. Miss Morgan and George stayed where they were. They had agreed to this In silence and without knowing It; certnlnly without exchanging glances of Intelli gence they had exchanged no glances at all. Both sat staring vaguely out Into the ballroom, and, for a time, they did not speak. Here and the' were to be seen couples so carried away that, ceasing to move at the decorous, even glide, considered most knowing, they pranced and whirled through the throng, from wall to wall, gnlloping bounteously In abandon. George suffered a shock of vague sur prise when he perceived that his aunt, Kiinny Minafer, was the lady-hnlf of one of those wild couples. She flew over the floor In the capable arms of the queer-looking duck; for this per son was her partner. The queer-looking duck had been a real dancer In his day. It appeared; and evidently his day was not yet over. In spite of the headlong, gay rapidity with which he bore Miss Fanny about the big room he danced authoritatively, avoiding without ef fort the lightest collision with other couples, maintaining sufficient grace throughout his wildest moments, and all the while laughing and talking with his purtner. What was most re markable to Georgia, and a little Irri tating, this stranger In the Amberson mansion had no vestige of the air of deference proper to u si ranger In such a place: he seemed thoroughly at home. He seemed offensively so, In deed, when, passing ihe entrance to the gallery stairway, he disengaged his hand from Miss Fanny's for an In stant, and not pausing In the dance, waved a laughing snlutatlon more than cordial, then capered lightly out of sight. George gwsed stonily at this mani festation, responding neither by word nor sign. "How's that for a bit of freshness?" he murmured. "What was?" Miss Morgan asked. "Tu:.t queer-looking duck waving his hand at me like that Except he's the Sharon girls' uncle I don't known hlra from Adam." "You don't need to." she snld. "He I wasn't waving hla bund to you: be meant me." "Oh, he did?" George was not mol llfled by the explanation. "Everyone Fit ma to mean you ! You certainly do seem to have been pretty busy tills week you've been here!" She pressed her bouquet to her face again and laughed Into It, not dis pleased. Shu made no other com ment, und for another period neither spoke. "Wei!," aald George Anally, "I must say you don't seem to be much of a prattler. They say It'a a great way to get reputation for being wise never saying much. Don't you ever talk at all?" "When people ran understand," slu answered. He had been looking moodily out at the ballroom, but he turned to her quickly, at this, saw that her eye were aunny and content, over the top of her bouquet, and he consented to amlle. "Girls are nsuully pretty fresh !" he said. "They ..light to go to a man's college about a year; they'd yet taught a few thing about freshness! What yon got to do after two o'clock tomorrow afternoon?" K wBoto lot of things. Every iao- Uto PMi'l t p." "All right" Said George, "The anow'a Due for sleighing : I'll come for you In a cutter at ten minutes after two." "I can't possibly go." "If yon don't." he said, Tm going to alt In the cutter In front of the gate, wherever you're visiting, all afternoon, and If you try to go out with anybody else he's got to whip me before he gets you." And as she laughed though she blushed a little, too he continued, seriously: "If you think I'm not In earnest you're at lib erty to make quite a big experiment !" She laughed again. "I don't think I've often hnd so large a compliment as that," she said, "especially on such short notice nnd yet I don't think I'll go with you." "You be ready at ten minutes after two." "No, I won't." "Yes, you will !" "Yes," she said, "I will 1" And her partner for the next dance arrived, breathless with searching. "Don't forget I've got the - third from now," George called after her. Winn "the third from now" came George presented himself before her without any greeting, like a brother or a mannerless old friend. Both George nnd Miss Morgnn talked much more to everyone olse that evening thnn to each other, and they satd nothing at all at this time. Boi looked preoccupied as they began to dance, and preserved a gravity of ex pression to the end of the number. And their next number they did not dance, but went back to the gallery talrway, seeming to have reached an understanding without any verbal consultation that this suburb was again the place for them. "Well," said George coolly, when they were seated, "what did you say your name was?" "Morgnn." "Funny, name!" "Everybody else's name always Is." "I didn't mean It was really funny," George explained. "That's Just one of my crowd's bits, of horsing at col lege. We always say 'funny name,' no matter what it Is. I guess we're pret ty fresh sometimes; but I knew your name wns Morgan because my mother said so downstairs. I meant: what's the rest of It?" "Lucy." "How old are you?" George asked. "I don't really know myself." "What do you mean: you don't really know yourself?" "I mean I only know what they tell me. I believe them, of course, but believing Isn't really knowing." "Look here !" said George. "Do you always talk like this?" Miss Lucy Morgan laughed forgiv ingly, put her young head on one side like a bird and responded cheerfully: "I'm willing to learn wisdom. What are you studying at school?" "College !" "At the university ! Yes. What are you studying there?" George laughed. "Lot o' useless guff !" "Then why don't you study some useful guff?" "What do you mean: 'Useful?'" "Something you'd use later, in your business or profession?" George waved his hand Impatient ly. "I don't expect to go Into an 'business or profession.'" "No?" "Certainly not!" George was em phatic, being sincerely annoyed by fl suggestion which showed how utterly she failed to comprehend the kind of person he was. "Why not?" she asked mildly. "Just look at 'em !" he said, almost with bitterness, and he mude a ges ture presumably Intended to Indicate the business and professional men now dnncing within range of vision. "That's a fine career for a man, Isn't It I Lnwyers, bonkers, politicians! What do they get out of life, I'd like to know! What do they ever know about real things? Where do they ever get?" He was so earnest that she wa surprised and Impressed. She had a vague, momentary vision of I'itt, at twenty-one, prime minister of Eng land; and she spoke. Involuntarily In a lowered voice, with deference: "What do you want to be?" she asked. George answered promptly. " vuchtsinan," he said.
