"Real estate Is the only subject I
would trust him on," she continued. "I
must say, Dave, that for a shrewd
business man you are awfully dense
about Conward,
He remained silent for a few mo
ments. He decided not to follow her
lead. He knew that If she had any
thing explicit to say about Conward
she would say it when she felt the
time to be opportune, and not until
then.
"How much did you invest?"
"Not much. Just what I had."
"You mean all your savings?"
"Why not? It's all right, isn't It?"
He had risen and was standing by
the window.
"It's all right, isn't It?" she repeat
ed.
"I'm afraid It isn't!" he said, at
length, in a restrained voice. "I'm
afraid it isn't."
"What do you mean?" she demand
ed.
"Bert," he continued, "did It ever
occur to you that this thing must have
an end that we can't go on forever
lifting ourselves by our own boot
straps? We have built a city here, a
great and beautiful city, almost as a
wizard might build it by magic over
night. There was room for it here;
there was occasion ; there was justifi
cation. But there was neither occa
sion nor Justification for turning miles
and miles of prairie land into city lots
lots which in the nature of things
cannot possibly, In your time or mine,
be required for city purposes. These
lots should be producing; wheats oats,
potatoes, cows, butter that is what
we must build our city on. We have
been considering the effect rather than
the cause. The cause is the country,
the neglected country, and until it
overtakes the city we must stand still,
if we do not go back. Our prosperity
has been built on borrowed money,
and we have forgotten that borrowed
money must some time be repaid."
"You mean that the boom Is about
to burst?" she said.
"Not exactly burst. It will not be
so sudden as that. It will just ooze
away like a toy balloon pricked with
a pin."
There was silence for some minutes.
When she spoke at length It was with
a tinge of bitterness. "So you are
unloading?"
"The firm Is. I beg you, Bert, to
believe that If I had known your in
tention I would have tried to dissuade
you."
"Why me particularly? I am only
one of the great public. Why don't
you give your conclusions to the
world? Now that you see the reaction
setting in doesn't honesty suggest
what your course should be?"
There was reproach in her voice,
Dave thought, rather than bitterness.
He spread out his hands. "What's
the use? The harm Is done. To pre
dict a collapse would be to precipitate
a panic. It as though we were passen
gers on a boat at sea. You and I
know the boat Is sinking, but the
other passengers don't. They are
making merry with champagne and
motorcars If you can accept that fig
ure and revelry and easy money.
Why spoil their remaining few hours
by telling them they are headed for
the bottom?"
After a moment she placed her fin
gers on his, arm. "Forgive me, Dave,"
she said. "I didn't mean to whine."
"You didn't whine," he returned, al
most fiercely. "It's not you. You are
too good a sport. But there will be
lots of whining in the coming months."
Manlike, It did not occur to Dave that
in that moment the girl had bidden
goodby to her savings of a dozen
years and had merely looked up and
said, "Forgive me, Dave, I didn't
mean to whine."
He glanced nt his watch. "It's late
for a theater," he said, "but we can
ride. Which do you say auto or
horseback?"
"I can't go . horseback In these
clothes and I don't want to change.'
Dave pressed a button and the om
nipresent Chinese "boy" stood before
htm. "My car," he said. "The two-
passenger car. I . shall not want a
driver." Then, , continuing to Miss
Morrison: "You will need something
more than that coat. Let me see. My
smoking jacket should fit."
. In a few minutes they were thread
ing their way through the street traf
fic in Dave's machine. Presently the
traffic thinned, and the car hummed
through long residential avenues of
comfortable homes. On and on they
sped, until the city streets and the
city lights fell behind and the car was
swinging along a fine country road
through a lain,! marked with streams
ana Midges ana DiocKea out witn fra
grant bluffs of young poplars.
At last, after an hour's steady driv
ing in a delight of motion too keen for
conversation, they pulled up on the
brow of a hill. Dave switched off his
lights, the better to appreciate the
majesty of the night, and in the si
lence came the low murmur of water.
There were no words. They sat and
breathed it
Suddenly, from a sharp bend behind
In the road, flashed the lights of an
approaching car. Dave was able to

Kitchener, and other poem
switch his own lights on again only
In time to 'avoid a collision. The on
coming car lurched and passed by fu
riously, but not before Dave had rec
ognized Conward as the driver. Back
on its trail of dust floated the ribald
notes of half-Intoxicated women. -
"Close enough," said Dave when the
dust had settled.. "Well, let us jog
back home." ' i
They took the return trip leisurely,
drinking In the glories of the night
and allowing time for the play of con
versation. Bert Morrison was a good
conversationalist. Her points of In
terest were almost Infinite. And they
were back among the street lights be
fore they knew.
"Oh, I almost forgot," Bert said, as
they parted, as though she really had
forgotten. "I was at a reception to
day when a beautiful woman asked
for you asked me if I had ever heard
of Mr. David Elden."
"'What, Dave Elden, the million
aire?' I said. 'Everybody knows him.
He's the beau of the town, or could
be If he wanted to.' Oh, I gave you
a good name, Dave."
"Thanks, Bert. That was decent.
Who was she?"
"She jaid her name was Irene
Hardy."
CHAPTER VIII.
Upon the return of Irene Hardy to
the East It had slowly become appar
ent to her mother that things were not
as they once had been. It seemed as
though she had left part of her nature
behind had outgrown It, perhaps
and had created about herself an at
mosphere of reserve foreign to her
earlier life. It seemed as though the
loneliness of the great plains had
settled upon her.
"Whatever has come over Irene?
said Mrs. Hardy to the doctor one eve
ning. "She hasn't been the same since
she came home. I should not have let
her go west alone."
The doctor looked up mildly from
his paper. It was the custom of the
doctor to look up mildly when Mrs,
Hardy made a statement demanding
some form of recognition. From the
wide Initiation into domestic affairs
which his profession had given him
Doctor Hardy had long since entirely
ceased to look for the absolute in
woman. He had never looked for it
In man. He realized that in Mrs.
Hardy he did not possess a perfect
mate, but he was equally convinced
that In no other woman would he have
found a perfect mate, and he accepted
his lot with the philosophy of his
sixty years. So Instead of reminding
his wife that Irene had not been alone
when she went west he remarked very
mildly that the girl was growing older.
Mrs. Hardy found in his remark oc
casion to lay down the book she had
been holding and to sit upright in a
rigidity of intense disapproval. Doc
tor Hardy was aware that this was
entirely a theatrical attitude, assumed
for the purpose of Imposing upon him
a proper humility. He had experi
enced it many' times.
'Doctor Hardy," said his wife after
the lapse of an appropriate period,
"do you consider that an intelligent
remark?"
"It has the advantage of truthful
ness," returned the doctor compla
cently. "It Is susceptible of demon
stration." -
"I should think this is a matter of
sufficient interest to the family to be
discussed seriously," retorted Mrs.
Hardy, who had an unfortunate habit
of becoming exasperated by her hus
band's good humor. "Irene Is our
only child, and before your very eyes
you see her you see her Do you
know, I begin I really begin to sus
pect that she's in love."
It was Doctor Hardy's turn to sit
upright. "Nonsense 1" he said. "Why
should she be in love?" It is the un
fortunate limitation of the philosopher
thnt he so often leaves irrational be
havior out of the reckoning. "She is
only a child."
"She will be eighteen presently.
And why shouldn't she be in love?
And the question Is who? That Is
for you to answer. Who did she
meet?"
"She met no one with me. My ac
cident left me to enjoy my holiday as
best I could at a runch deep In the
foothills, and Reenie stayed with me
there. There was no one els "
"No one? No ranchmen, cowboys
cow punchers I think I have heard"
with nice disdain.
"No. Only young Elden"
"Only? Who is this young Elden?"
"But he is just a boy. Just the son
of the old rancher of whom I have
told you."
"Exactly. And Irene Is just a girl.
Doctor Hardy, you are all very well
with' your fevers and your chills, but
you can't diagnose a love case worth
a cent. What about this young El
den? Did Irene see much of him?"
The doctor spread his hands. "Do
you realize that there were four of
us at that ranch four only, and no
one else for miles? How could she
help seeing him?"
"And you permitted It?"
'I was on my back with a broken
leg. We were guests at their home.
They were good Samaritans to us. I
couldn't chaperon her. And besides
they don't do things that way In thut
country. You don't understand. It's
altogether different."
"Andrew," said Mrs. Hardy, leaning
forward, and the word was ominous,
for she used his Christian name only
In moments of crisis, "was Irene ever
with this young man alone?"
The doctor arose to his feet and
trod heavily upon the rich carpetlngs.
"I told you you don't understand," he
protested.- "The West Is not the East.
Everything Is different"
"I suppose human nature Is differ
ent," she interrupted meaningly. Then
her head fell upon the table and her
hands went np about her hair. . It
had been brown hair-once but was
now thin and streaked with gray. "Oh,
Andrew," she wept, "we are ruined!
That we should ever have come to
this!"
It was now Doctor Hardy's turn to
be exasperated. There was one thing
his philosophy could not endure. That
was a person who was not and who
would not be philosophical. . Mrs.
Hardy was not and would not be phil
osophical. "This is all nonsense I" said the doc
tor, Impatiently. "There is nothing
to it, anyway. The girl had to have
some company. What If they did ride
together? What"
"They rode together? Alone?" .
"They had their horses along," said
the doctor, whose impatience had
made way for sarcasm.
"You are mocking me. In this hour
of shame you are making jests. Call
Irene."
The girl was summoned. Her fine
face had lost some of its brownness,
and the - eyes seemed deeper and
slower, but she was still a vision of
grace and beauty as she stood in re
sponse to their call, framed In the
curtains of an archway. Her quick
sense caught the tense atmosphere,
and she came forward with parted
Hps and extended fingers.
"Yes?" she said. "What is wrong7
Can I help?"
'Your father has confessed," said
Mrs. Hardy, trying hard to speak with
judicial calm. "Now tell us about
your relations with this young Elden,
this cow puncher. Let us know the
worst." '
Irene's eyes flew from her mother
to her father's, face, and there they
caught something that restored their
calm.
"There was no worst," she said
with a ripple of laughter, "but there
was a good deal of best. Shall-1 tell
you the best?"
"Irene," said her mother severely,
"did you permit that young man to
make love to you?"
"I did not give him permission, if
that answers you, because he didn't
ask it."
Mrs. Hardy had risen. "Andrew,
you hear that? She confesses. It's
dreadful! Horrible! What will ev
erybody say?"
"No worse than you have said, I'll
be bound," put in the doctor.
"Yes, take her part. What care you
for the family name?"
"I have a rightto speak for the
family name," said the doctor firmly.
"It was mine before It was yours. I
cannot see that the family name has
been compromised In the slightest , de
gree. This Is Irene's first adventure.
It will pass away. And even if It does
not he Is a manly boy." ; f . i
Mrs. Hardy surveyed her" husband
hopelessly, then turned to Irene.
"Have you made any promises?"
"Only that I wouldn't make any
promises until he had his chance. That
seemed fair."
"I suppose you are receiving letters
from him?"
"No."
"Why doesn't he write?"
For the first time Irene's eyes fell
and the color mounted richer in her
cheeks. She had to confess now, not
for herself but for him. . .
"He can't write," she said.
"Merciful heavens !" exclaimed Mrs,
Hardy, collapsing into a chair. . ,-,
"Andrew, bring me a stimulant."
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
Beating the Train. .
"Now, Thomas," said the foreman of
the construction gang to a green hand
who had just been put on the job,
"keep your eyes open. When you see
strain coming throw down' your tools
and jump off the track. Run like
blazes!" "Sure!" said Thomas, and
began to swing his pick. In a few
minutes the Empire State Express
came whirling along. Thomas threw
down his pick and started up the track
ahead of the train as fast as he could.
The train overtook him and tossed him
Into a ditch. Badly shaken up, he was
taken to the hospital, where the fore
man visited him. "You blithering
, idiot 1" said the foreman, "didn't I tell
you to take care and get out of the
way? Why didn't you run up the side
of the hill?" "Up the-soide.of the hill,
is It, sor?" said Thomas through the
bandages on his face. "Up the solde
of the hill? By the powers, I can't
bate It on the level, let alone runnln'
up MIL"
First Safety Bicycles.
The first of the safety bicycles was
put on the market In 1880. In this the
high front wheel was reduced and the
rear wheel was about two-thirds the
height of the front ode. The machines
with wheels of the same size appeared
In 1885. Bicycling began to be popular
about 1891, and the "craze" reached
Its height about 1895, when wheels
had become low enough in price to be
within the means of the multitude.
