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-

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,

was already 0 o'clock. Before going out
he changed his clothes to a rough bust

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

How It Sounded.
Since this Is a confession, It may an
well be a frank and truthful one. II
am not Jealous of my husband's first
wife at least I hope I am not. But
when he looks depressed, or when I
see that he is not as happy as I would
like him to be, I am conscious of nn
uncomfortnblo doubt. 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. A trying trick that
my dear husband has Is that of sink
ing into an absent-minded reverie or
abstraction ; nnd he sometimes so far
forgets himself to call me "Mary" in
stead of "Sarah." Once when be had
been particularly forgetful and dreamy
be did this three times In one evening.
At last my resentment and apprecia
tion of the ridiculous sprang to arms.
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.
"I am hurt." he said; "I had no Idea
