Major Amberson had made a fortune In 1878 when other people were toe in fortunes, and the matrnificenee of the Amber on'i began then. Major Ambereon laid out a 200-aere "development," with roads and I statuary, and in the eentre of a four-acre ' tract on Ambereon avenue, hullt for himself 1 toe most magnificent mansion the Midland City had ever seen.

And while he stood here, unilonlnhfy such a figure, with Tnnle and Mary Sharon threatening t' burnt at any moment, if laughter were lougcr denied them, Lucy sat looking it him with her eyebrows delict rely ifted In casual, polite Inquiry. Her ran complete composure was what nost galled him. "Nothing of the slightest Iwpor nnee!" he managed to say. "I was brst leaving. Good-afternoon!" Ami vltU long strides he reached the door ind hastened through the hall ; but efore he closed the door he heard rum .Tanle and Mary Sharon the out urst of wild, irrepressible emotion 'hlch his performance had Inspired. He drove home In a tumultuous nood, and almost ran down two ladles ho were engaged In absorbing eon ersatlon at u crossing. They were lis Aunt Funny and Mrs. Joliiis.ui ; a 'rk of the reins at the lust Instant -uved them by a few Inches; but their onvcrmitlon whs so Interesting that hey were unaware of their danger, and did not nollee thp rnnnbout, ma llow close It camp to them. He drove Into the Major's stable too fast, the sagacious Pendennls snvlng himself from going through a partition by a swerve which splintered a shaft of Hie runabout and almost threw the drlvpr to the flour. George swore, Hnd then swore again at the fat old darkey, Tom, for giggling at his swearing. He strode from the stable, crossed the Major's back yard, then passed behind the new houses, on his way home. These structures were now ap proaching completion, but still in a state of rawness hideous to George though, for that matter, they were never to be anything except hideous to him. In this temper he emerged from be hind the house nearest his own and, glancing toward the street, saw his mother standing with Eugene Morgan upon the cement path that led to the front gate. She was bareheaded and Eugene held his hat and stick in his hand; evidently he had been culling upon her, and she had come from the house with him, continuing theJr con versation and delaying their parting. George (tared at them. A hot dis like struck him at the sight of Eu gene; and a vague revulsion, like a strange, unpleasant taste In his mouth, came over him as he looked at his mother; her manner was eloquent of so much thought about her companion and of such reliance upon him. The two began to walk on toward the gate, where they stirpped, turning to face each other, and Isabel's glance, passing Eugene, fell upon George. In stantly she smiled and waved her band to him, while Eugene turned and nodded; but George, standing as lt some rigid trance, and staring straight t them, gsvs these signals of greeting M 1 1 I ! O I H r -M- HAVE THE 0. K. TRANSFER Do Your Hauling E. V. HART Prop. Phones: Office 6S Residence 249 J. VaJs Oregon. Gave These Signals of Greeting No Sign of Recognition Whatever. no sign of rerocnitlon whatever. Upon his, Isabel called to him, waving her litiiul nenin. "Georgie!" she called, laughing. "Wake up, clear! Georgie, hello!" Oporge turned nwny as If he hnd nelthpr seen nor heard, and stalked Into the house by the side door. CHAPTER XIV. He went to bis room, threw off hl coat, waistcoat, collar and tie, letting them Up where they chanced to full, and then, having violently enveloped himself In a black velvet dressing gown, continued this action by lying down with a vehemence that brought a wheeze of protest from his bed. His repose was only a momentary sem blance, however, for It lasted no long er than the time It took him to groan "Kiffraff !" between his teeth. Then he sat up, swung his feet to the floor, rose and began to pace up anil down the large room. He had Just been consciously rude to his mother for the first time In his life; for, with all his riding down of populace and riffraff, he hail never be fore been either deliberately or Im pulsively disregardful of her. But now he had done a rough thing to her; ami he did not repent ; the rather he was the more Irritated with her. And when he heard her presently go by his door with a light step, singing cheer fully to herself as she went to her iiniiii, he perceived that she had mis taken his intention altogether, or. In deed, had failed to perceive that he had any Intention at nil. There pamp a delicate, eager tap ping at his door, not done with a knuckle but with the tip of a finger nail, which was Instantly clarified to George's mind's eye as plainly as If be saw it: the long and polished white mooned pink shield on the end of his Aunt Fanny's right forefinger. But George was in no mood for human communications, and even when tilings went well he had little pleasure in Fanny's society. Therefore It is not surprising that at the sound of her tapping, instead of bidding her enter, he immediately crossed the room with the Intfiitiou of locking the door to keep her "'it. Fanny was too eager and, opening the door before he reached It, came quickly hi, and closed It behind her. Her look was that of a person who had just seen something extraordinary or heard thrilling new. "Now. what on earth do you want?" her chilling nephew demanded. "George," t:ie said hurriedly. "I saw what you did when you couldn't speak to them. I was sitting with Mrs. J. din son at her front window, across the street, and I saw It all." "Well, what of It?" "Ton did right!" Fanny said with vehemence not the less spirited be cause she suppressed her voice almost to a whisper. "You did exactly right! You're behaving splendidly about the whole thing, and I want to tell you I ki.ow your father would thank you If he could see what you're doing." "My Lord !" George broke out at her. "You make me dizzy ! For heaven's sake quit the mysterious detective business at least do quit it a round me! Go and try It on somebody else, If you like; but I don't want to bear It !" She began to tremble, regarding him with a fixed gaze. "You don't care to hear, then," she said huskily, "that I approve of what you're doing?" "Certainly not! Since I haven't the faintest ldeu what you think I'm 'do ing,' naturally I don't care whether you approve of It or not. All I'd like, if you please, Is to be ahme. I'm not giving a tea here, this afternoon, if you'll permit uie to mention it !" Fanny's gaze wavered; she began to blink; then suddenly she sank Into chair and wept silently, but with terrible desolation. "Oh, for the Lord's take!" be moaned. "What In the world Is wrong with you?" "You're always picking on me," she quavered wretchedly, her voice Indis tinct with the wetness that bubbled In to it from her tears. "You do you always pick no me! You've always done if always ever since you wars a little boy! Whenever anything goes wrong with you. you lake It out on me! You do! You always" George flung to besvea geMur of iWrslr; It seemed to hlrr the lait MALHEUR ENTERPRISE, straw that Fanny should have chosen this particular time to come and sob In his room over his mistreatment of her I "Oh, my Lord 1" he whispered ; then, with a great effort, addressed her In a reasonable tone: "Look here. Aunt j Funny ; I drni't see what you're making nil tills fuss about. Of course I know I've tensed you sometimes, but " "'Tensed' me?" she .' walled. " Tensed' me! Oh, It does seem too hard sometimes this mean old life, of mine does seem too bard ! I don't think I ran stand It ! Honestly, I don't think I pan! I pnme In here just to show yon I sympathized with you Just tf say something pleasant to you, and you treat me as If I were oh, no, you wouldn't treat a servant the wny you treat me! You wouldn't treat iiuy liody.In the world like this except old Fanny !" "Oh, my Lord!" George groaned. Fanny spread out her small, soaked handkerchief, nnd shook It In the air to dry It a little, crying as damply and as wretchedly during this operation as before a sight which gave 'George a curious shock to add to his other agi tations. It seemed so strange. "You're so proud." she quavered, "nnd so hard ! I tell you I didn't niean to speak of It to you, and I never, never in the world would have told you about It, mrr have made the faint est reference to It, If I hadn't seen that somebody else had told you, or you'd found out for yourself some way. I" In despair of her Intelligence, and In some doubt of his own, (Jeorge struck the palms of his hands together. "Somebody else hnd told me what? I'd found what out for myself?" "How people are talking about your mother." Except for the Incidental tenrlness of her voice, her tone was casual, as though she mentioned a subject pre viously dl-scussed nnd understood ; for Fanny hnd no doubt that George had only pretended to be mystified be cause. In his pride, he would not in words admit that he knew what he knew. "What did you say?" he asked In credulously. "Of course I understood whnt you were doing," Fanny went on, drying her handkerchief again. "It puzzled other people when you began to be rude to Eugene, because they couldn't see how you could treat him ns you did when you were so interested In Lucy. But I remembered how you came to me, that other time when there was so much talk about Isabel ; anil I knew you'd give Lucy up In n minute. If It came to a question of your mother's reputation, because you said then that" "Look here," George Interrupted In a shaking voice. "Look here, I'd like " He stopped, unable to go on, his agitation was so great. His chest, heaved ns from hard running, and his complexion, pallid at first, hud be come mottled; fiery splotches appear ing at his temples nnd cheeks. "Whnt do you mean by telling me telling me there's talk about about " He gulped, und began again : "What do you mean by using such words ns 'reputation?' What do you mean, speaking of a 'question' of my my mother's reputation?" Funny looked up at him woefully over the handkerchief Which she now applied to her reddened nose. "God knows I am sorry for you, George," she murmured. "I wanted to say so, but It's only old Fanny, so whatever she says even when it's sympathy pick on her for it !" She sobbed. "It's only poor old lonely Fanny!" "You look here!" George said harsh ly. "When 1 spoke to my I'ni'le fjeopje after that rotten tiling I heard Aur.t .Amelia say about my mother, lie said If there was any gossip it was about yim! He said people might be. laughing about the way you ran after Morgan, hut that was all." Fanny lilted her hands, cleticned them and struck them upon her knees. "Yes; it's always Fanny!" who sobbeu. "Itidiculous old Fuuny ulwuys, al ways !" "You listen!" George said. "After I'd talked to I'ncle George I snw you; and you said I had a mean little mind for thinking there might be truth in what Aunt Amelia said about people talking. You denied it. : And that wasn't the only time; you'd attacked me before then, because I Intimated that Mingan might be coming here too often. You made me believe that mother let him come entirely on your account, nnd now you say " "I think he did." Fanny interrupted ilesolutely. "I think he did come as much to see me as anything for a while It looked like It. He did net a good deal that way and If Wilbur hudn't died" "You told me there wnsn't any talk." "I didn't think there was much, then," Fanny protested. "I dldnl know lurw much there was." "What!" "People don't come und tell such things to a person's family, you know. You don't suppose unybody was going to say to George Aiuhenmn that his sister was getting herself talked about, do you? Or that they were going to say much to me?" "You told me," said George, fiercely, "that mother never saw him except when she was chaperoning you." "They weren't much alone together, then," Funny returned. "Hardly ever, before Wilbur died. Everybody knew thiit he'd been engaged to her " "What's that?" George cried. "Everybody knows It. Don't you re member your grandfather speaking of It at the Sunday dinner one night?" "He didn't miy they were engaged or " "Well, they were! Everybody knows It; and she broke It off on account of that serenade when Eugene didn't know what he was doing. Ho drank when he was a young man, and she wouldn't stand for It, but everybody in tills town knows that Isabel bus never really cured for any oiln-r inaa In her life! I'oor Wilbur! He v. us the only soul alive that didn't know It I" Nightmare had descended upon the unfortunate George; he leaned back against the footboard of his bed, gas leg wildly st bis aunt. "I believe I'm fling crazy." he ld. "You mean when you told nie there wasn't any i talk yf'U told rt a falsehood?"
