Cohfiht CHAPTER V. (Continued.) A few days after Evelvn Porter home, Wheaton followed Raridan to his room one evening after dinner. Rarldar ad set lhe Bachelors' an pinmnlc nf hlte flannels for the warm weather, and Wheaton also had abolished his clothes. Raridan's rooms had not vel lost their novelty for him. The pictures the statuettes, the books, the broad couch with its heap of varl-eolored pillows, the table with its candelabra, by winch Rari dan always read certain of the poets these still had their mystery for Whea ton. "Going out to-night?" he asked with show of Indifference. "Hadn't thought of it," answered Rari dan, who was cutting the pages of i magazine. "Don't let me interrupt if you're read ing," said Wheaton. "But I thought some of dropping In at Mr. Porter's. Miss Porter's home now, I believe." 'Thats a good Idea." said Raridan. who saw what was wanted. He threw his magazine at the cat and got up and yawned. "Suppose we do go?" The call had been successfully man aged. Miss Porter was very pretty, and not so young as Wheaton expected to Dnd her. Haridan left him talking tr her and went across to the library, where Mr. Porter was reading his evening pa per. Raridan had a way of wandering about In other people's houses, which Wheaton envied him. Miss Porter seemed to take his call as a matter of course, and when her father came out presently and greeted him casually as if he were a familiar of the house he left relieved and gratified. CHAPTER VI. Raridan was at the station to meet some gueBts of Evelyn's, as he had prom ised. He had established a claim upon their notice on the occasion of one of bis visits to Evelyn at college, and he greeted them with an air of possession which would have been intolerable in an other man. He pressed Miss Warren foi news of the Connecticut nutmeg crop, and hoped that Miss Marshall had not lost her accent In crossing the Missouri. Annie Warren was as reserved and quiet as Evelyn could be in her soberest moments; Belle Marshall was as frank and friendly as Evelyn became In her lightest moods. Evelyn bad been the beauty of her class ; her -two friends were what is called, by people that wish to be kind, nice looking. Annie Warren had been the best scholar in her class ; Belle Marshall had been amongst the poorest; and Evelyn had maintained a happy medium between the two. And so it fortunately happened that the trio mitigated one another's imperfections. Evelyn had discussed with her father ways and means of entertaining ' ber guests. He preferred large functions. He wished Evelyn to give a lawn party before the blight of fall came upon his flowers and shrubbery ; but she persuad ed him to wait until after a pending carnival. The ball of the carnival was near at hand and she proposed that they give a small dinner in the interval. "I'll ask Warry anl Mr. Saxton. Peo ple were already coupling Saxton's name with Raridan's. - "Oh, yes, that's all right." "I don't want very many; I'd like to ask the Wbipples;" she went on, with the anxious, far-away look that comes into the eyes of a woman who is weigh ing dinner guests or matching fabrics. "Can't you ask Wheaton V ventured Mr. Porter cautiously, from behind his paper. "If you say so," Evelyn assented. "He isn't exciting, but Belle Marshall can get on with anybody. .I'm out of practice and won't try too many. rs. Whipple will help over the hard places," Finally, however, her party numbered ten, but it seemed to Wheaton large assemblage. He had never taken a lady in to dinner before, but he had studied a book of etiquette, and the chapter ou "Dining Out" had given mm a hint of what was expected. It had not, however, supplied him with a fund of talk, but he was glad to find, when he reached the table, that the company was so small that talk could be general, and he was thankful for the shelter made for him by the light banter which followed the set tlinff of chairs. Saxton went in with Evelyn, who wished to make amends foi his clumsy reception on the occasion of his first appearance in the house. General Whipple persuaded Miss Mar shall to tell a negro story, which she did delightfully, while the table listened, Southerners are, after all, the most nat ural talkers we have and the only ones who can talk freely of themselves with out offense. Her speech was musical, and she told her story with a nice sense of its dramatic quality. They had their coffee on the veranda, where the lights from within made a pleasant dusk about them. Porter's heart was warm with the joy of Evelyn's home-coming. She bad been away from him so much that be was realizing fot the first time the common experience of fathers, who find that their daughters have escaped suddenly and inexplicably from girlhood into womanhood: and yet the girl heart in her bad not lost its freshness nor Its thirst for pleasure. She had carried off her litjle company charm ingly ; Porter had enjoyed it himself, and he felt young again in the presence of youth. General Whipple had attached himself to one of the couples of young people that were strolling here and there in th grounds. Porter and Mrs. Whipple held the veranda alone; both were uncon tdffifiy watching Evelyn and E&xton as they walked back and forth in front of the house, talking gaily; and Porter smiled at the eagerness and quickness ol her movements. Saxton's deliberatenees contrasted oddly with the girl's light step. Such a girl must marry a man worthy of her; there could be no question of that; and for the first time the thought of losing her rose in his heart and numb ed It- Evelyn and Saxton had met the oth ers, who were coming 'up from the walks, and there was a redistribution at the house; it was too beautiful to go In, they said, and the strolling abroad continued. A great flood of moonlight poured over the grounds. A breeze stole up from the valley and made a soothing rustle in the trees. Evelyn and Wheaton heard the sound of the pin no through the open windows, and a girl's voire broke gaily into song. "It's Belle. She does sing those coon songs wonderfully. Let us wait here un til she finishes this one."' The sun-porch opened from the dining room. They could see beyond it, Into the drawing room ; the singer wns in plain view, sit ting at the piano ; Raridan stood facing her, keeping time with an imaginary baton. A man came unobserved to the glass door of the porch nnd stood unsteadily peering in. He was very dirty and bal anced himself in that abandon with which Intoxicated men belie ICewton's discov ery. He had gained the top step with difficulty ; the light from the window blinded him and for a moment he stood within the inclosure blinking. An ugly grin spread over his face as he made out the two figures by the window, and he began a laborious journey toward them. formed hand, to himself. It contained a dirty scrap of paper bearing these words : Jim: I'll be at the Occidental Hotel to-night at 8 o'clock. Don't fail to come. "BILLY." Wheaton tore np the note with Irrita tion and threw it into the waste paper basket. He called tbe Chinese servant, who explained that a boy had left It in the course of the morning and had said nothing about an answer. The Bachelors' did not usually muster a full table at Sunday dinner. Ail Clark- son dined at noon on Sunday, and most of the bachelors were fortunate enough to be asked out. Wheaton was not fre quently a diner out by reason of his more slender acquaintance; and to-day all pere present, including Raridan, the most fickle of all in his attendance. It had pleased Wheaton to find that the others had been setting him apart more and more with Raridan for the daily disci pline they dealt one another. They liked to poke fun at Raridan on the score of what they called his mad social whirl; there was no resentment about it ; they were themselves of sterner stuff and had no patience with Raridan's frivolities; and they were within the fact when they assumed that, If they wished, they could go anywhere that he did. It touched Wheaton's vanity to find himself a joint target with Raridan for the arrows which the other bachelors fired at folly, Wheaton after dinner went to his room and made himself comfortable. He re read the Sunday papers through all then supplements, dwelling again on the events of the carnival. He had ssved all the other papers that contained society news and now brought them out and cut from them all references to himself. He re solved to open a kind of social scrap book in which to preserve a record o his social doings. He remembered a com plaint often heard in Clarkson that there were no eligible men there ; he was noi sure just what constituted eligibility, but as he reviewed the men that went aboul he could not see that they possessed any advantages over himself. It occurred to him for the first time that he was the only unmarried bank cashier in town ; and this In itself conferred a distinction He was not so secure in his place as he should like to be ; if Thompson died there would undoubtedly be a reorganization of the bank and the few shnres that Por ter had sold to him would not hold the cashlership for him. It might be that Porter's plan was to keep him In the place until Grant grew up. Again, he reflected, the man who married Evelyn Porter would become an element to reck on with; and yet if he were to be that man He slept and dreamed that be was king of' a gream realm and that Evelyn Porter reigned with him as queen ; then he awoke with a start to find that it was late. He sat up on the couch and gath ered together the newspaper cuttings which had fallen about him. He remein- Hfi ''.

HEB, KEEPING, He. tried to tiptoe, and this added fur ther to his embarrassments ; but . the fig ures by the window were intent on the song and did not hear him. He drew slowly nearer; one more step and he would have concluded his journey. He poised on his toes before taking it, but the law of gravitation now asserted it self. He lunged forward heavily, casting himself upon Wheaton, and nearly knock ing him from his feet. "Jimmy," lie blurted in a drunken voice. "Jim-my!" Evelyn turned quickly and shrank back with a cry. Wheaton was slowly rallying from the shock of his surprise. He grab bed the man by the arms and began push Ing him toward the door. "Don't be alarmed," he said over his shoulder to Evelyn, who had shrunk back against the wall. "I'll manage him." This, however, was not so easily done. The tramp, as Evelyn supposed him to be, bad been sobered by Wheaton's attack He clasped his fingers about Wheaton's throat and planted his feet firmly. He clearly Intended to stand his ground, and he dug his fingers into Wheaton's neck with the intention of hurting. "Father!" cried Evelyn once, but the song was growing noisier toward its enti and tbe circle about the piano did not hear. She was about to call again when a heavy step sounded o'ltride on the walk and Bishop Delafield came swiftly into the porch. He had entered the ground from the rear and was walking around the house to the front door. "Quick! that man there I'll call the others 1" cried Evelyn, still Shrinking against the wall. Wheaton had been forced to his knees and his assailant was choking him. But there was no need of other help. The bishop bad already seized the tramp about the body with his great hands, tearing him from Wheaton's neck. He strode, with the squirming figure In his grasp, toward an open window at the back of tbe glass inclosure, and pushed the man out. There was a great snort ing and threshing below. The hill dipped abruptly away from tbe side of the i.ouse and the man had fallen several feet, into a flower bed. "Get away from here," t,he bishop said, in his deep voice, "and be quick about it." The man rose and ran swiftly down the slope toward the street. The bishop walked back to the window, The others had now hurried out in re sponse to Evelyn's peremptory calls, and she was telling of the tramp's visit, while Wheaton received their condolences, and readjusted his tie. His collar and short front showed signs of contact with dirt. "It was a tramp," said Evelyn, as the others plied her with questions, "and be attacked Mr. Wheaton." "Where's he gone?" demanded Porter, excitedly. "There he goes," said the bishop, point ing toward the window. "I dropped him gently out of the window. The shock seems to have inspired bis legs." "I'll have the ponce " began Por ter. "Oh, he's gone now,' Mr. Porter," said Wheaton, coolly, as be restored bis tie, "Bishop Delafield disposed of him so vlg orousily that be II hardly come back "Yes, let him go," said the bishop, wlp lnc his hands on his handkerchief. "I'm only afraid, I'orter, that I've spoiled youi best canna bed. CHAPTER VII. The following Sunday morning aftei chnrch, as Wheaton reached bis room be found an envelope lying on his table, much soiled, and addressed, in an been left for him during the morning; it was already 0 o'clock. Before going out he changed his clothes to a rough bust ness suit and took a car that bore him rapidly through the business district and beyond, into the older part of Clarkson The locality was very shabby, and when he left the car presently it was to con tinue his journey in an ill-lighted street over board walks which yielded a pre carious footing.' The Occidental Hotel was in tbe old tuch emergencies. Chenp ntdlnsr. Uncle Zeke (buck from the city) You talk about cheap rlillii' ! I rode twenty miles on a street k'yar, an' all.

The dooi stood open and Wheaton stepped up to I the counter on which a boy sat playing with a cat. "Is William Snyder stopping here?" he asked. The boy looked up lazily from bis play.

I have tried to bring my sense of humor to bear upon this pain, too, and sometimes have suc ceeded fairly well sometimes I have failed' dismally.

With the fourth "Mary" I answered sweetly: 1 "In heaven, dear! Won't I do?" I had heard of another wife who bad done this, and it had sounded funny to me when I heard the story; but when I uttered the unseemly and unrefined speech I was overcome with shame, my anger fled, and, bursting into tears, I begged my husband's par don, and I told him so.
