lira . Ilunnlm au's bobby was match
making. When Mr. Charles Edwin
Lupton took up hla residence In the
city of Mrs. Ilunnlm an's home and
presented a letter o f Introduction to
her, her first thought was how to pre
sent him to society, the second how to
present him w ith a wife.
She de
termined to Invite the social leaders
to meet him at dinner and^to give him
for a table companion a lady, also a
newcomer. In whose social preferment
she took a deep Interest.
M r. lAipton was a man o f forty, in
tellectual, good looking, well to do and
of aristocratic mein, „ e had been
abroad for some time, and Mrs. Ilu n n l-
man knew nothing of his antecedents
except that he was vouched for In the
highest terms In his letter o f IfrtVoduc-
tlon But no one would mistake him
fo r anything else than a gentleman
Miss Overlander, whom Mrs. Hunnl-
mau designed for M r. Lupton’s wife,
was thirty-tw o years old and still - a
beautiful woman. But a friend of Mrs.
Hunnlman told some one, who told oth
ers. that Mias Over lander was not
Mitts Overlander at all.
When the dinner guests were assem
bled in the draw ing room, Mrs. Ilu n n l
man took M r. Lupton’s arm and led
him to the lady beside whom he waa to
alt at table. There waa something so
distinguished In both l f r . Lupton’s
and Mias Overlander’s person and
manner that the hum of conversation
ceased, and all eyes were fixed upon
the couple. Both bowed low, the man
made some casual observation, the
woman replied by an assenting nod,
the guests resumed their chat, and not
long afterw ard all paaeed Into the din
ing room.
There la one thing that matchmakers
who are real matchmakers never do.
They carefully abstain from any word
or act that w ill Intim ate their Inten
tions to the objects o f thetr designs.
Mrs. Hunnlm an had thus abstained Io
tbs present case, though It had been
whispered among the, dinner guests
that she had Intentions co&eVrnlng M r.
Lupton and Miss Overlander, and dur
ing the dinner the couple were the re
cipients of curious .glances. The con
versation between the tw o seemed a t
first a trifle constrained, and Mrs.
Hunnlm an was not especially encour
aged as to the m atter she had In view.
The lady seemed not especially a t
tracted to her dinner companion, who
showed a trifle of embarrassment con
sequent upon her coldness, and when
shortly a fte r the soup she entered Into
conversation w ith the gentleman sit
ting on her other side Mr. Lupton
turned to the lady on his other side
and became animated.
But at a dinner party one cannot
Ignore his or her dinner companion
very long wlthont being considered
rude, and M r. Lupton and Mias Over
lander soon found themselves forced to
entertain each ptber or alt In silence.
The la d j by tjila time seemed to have
made up her rfilnd to make the heat of
a bad bargain and ventured several re
marks to the gentleman, who sat very
stiffly l*eslde hsr restlessly fingering
the stem of his wineglass and ohly r e ’
plied. In a DssfQnctnry manner. I t be
es me evident to several of tbs com
pany who were In the secret of the
hostess* matchmaking that M r. Lupton
at least waa showing a sure sign of
entanglement—pique. Then he made
seme rem ark In a tone too low to be
beard except by Mias Overlander,
whereupon she haughtily turned her
buck on him.
T hia waa near the dose of the din
ner. When the guests were departing.
Mrs. Hunnlm an aaked M r. Lupton how
he was pleased with the lady she had
assigned him for the evening. Hts re
ply was a snort and an angry turning
away. Aa Miss Overlaoder came down
from the ladles’ cloakroom she rs-
eelved the same question w ith regard
to M r. LnptoO. “Delighted.** waa her
reply In a tone calculated to freeae the
m arrow la the bones o f tils questioner
When tbs last gussta were depart
ing. M r. Hunulman. who had gone out
to put a lady In her carriage, returned,
w ith a blank look on hla face and
whispered to his wife:
“M y dear, w hat do y<w think r
-w h s tr
“ M r. Lupton and Miss Overlander
have gone In the same carriage.”
“F o r heaven’s sake! W hat does It
mean 7"
Now. ths departure of the newly In
troduced couple was seen by tw o men
o f the party who were- starting for
their d u b Moved by curiosity, they
followed la their carriage Tw o hours
later they returned to the Hunnlmana
mansion and called for the head of the
house H s came down from hla l* d
room In pajam a«
“Hunnlman.'* said one o f the visit

“Oh. heave««*“ exclaimed Mrs. Hun-

“ We saw her leave your bouse In a
carriage with Lupton. W e considered
It our duty to you to follow them.
They drove through the park for aa
hour and a half, then to a hotel, where
they registered as M r. and Mrs. C. B.

“W e ’re ruined.“ cried Mrs. Hunnl-
man from above “ I ’ll never hold up

A t that moment there was a ring a t

wife. “ We w ill roaz John

John la my w ife’s brother. He la a
quiet, retiring young man and very
bashful. H e does not care for girls.
A t least he says be doesu't.
My w ife and her* mother thought
John ought to marry because he was
thirty and received a salary of $2.0U0
a year. They threw hints ut him fo ra
year or two, and then they came out
into the open and argued with him.
But John said be waa very comforta

When 1 made that calculation I had
never heard of the Cnstle girl. I saw
her first on the evening we arrived.
She waa sitting at the end of the hotel

They were engaged In conversation.
I felt It m.v duty to find out wbo the
girl wm . 1 didn't Intend to let my In
nocent young brother-in-law fall Into
the dutches of a designing- woman. I
found that she wus n daughter of Tom
Castle of Chicago, who bad been a
millionaire, but. owing to an ambitious
attempt to* corner the pork market,

besides being remarkably pretty, she
was cultured, refined and educated.

This shows what an adaptable, com

She could
discuss any man's bobby Intel 11 gently,
whether it happened to be amateur
photography, postage stamps or golf.
Now, John's hobby waa m ilitary
banda. Before he moved to tbe city
he was solo coruetlat In the Beaming
ton brass band. H e enjoyed an envia
ble reputation In that part of the state.
I t relieved bis mind a great deal to In
dulge In reminiscences o f that de
lightful period and to disease bands In

girl knew all< about bands, and she
would speud au hour a t a tim e dis

But It did no good to warn him. H e

who ever happened and that she would

“ Very well.” M id 1. “ I t must hs

Tbe Castle girl was certainly very

noon, when be asked her If she would
like to go out rowing with him, she
said she would be Just delighted to do

of course that didn’t matter.
John braced nn tetr « T ito rl the pier
and pushed off. Tbe Impetus seut the
boat perhaps fifteen feet o u t Then,
w ith an a ir of determination, he grasp
ed the oars. H e let one o f'th em fall
lightly Into the w ater and pulled very
hard. Tbe raaulfi was that he lifted tbe
oar Just above tbe girl’s ear and turned
half a pint of water down tbe back of
her neck. Bhe smiled, but her smile
seemed to lack spontaneity. H e took
a fling at the other oar and deposited
another h alf plut In her lap. These
little Irregularities made hl in nervous

stroke lie missed the water altogether,
and the our swuog around and struck

disappear Ir tbe briny depths when the

A fter that adventnre I felt pretty

would cease her efforts to make John

hotel proprietor’s chance of heavy pat
