MR. HARRI8, TIGHT
JAMES fairly leaped forward and
caught his aunt by the arm, turn
ing her abruptly about and away
front Leslie.
"Is he beret" he asked, urging her
Impetuously forward.
"Ob yes, and In a terrible state.
He's come for Leslie and he says. . ."
James did not wait for more, but
dropped his aunt's arm and ran.
When he reached the dancing plat
form at the further end of the lawn,
he found the music stopped and the
dancers crowded together at one end
of the platform whispering and gig
gling and watching John Harris who
stood Just below them on the lawn,
wearing bis old-fashioned frock coat
and bell crowned hat and Bwaylng
tlpslly to and fro as he leaned heav
ily on his gold topped cane.
"Have no fear," said Harris.
But Howard and Jackson Crowell
stood one either side of him vainly
urging him towards the house. The
whispering and giggling slopped
abruptly as James came forward.
"Good evening, Mr. Harris," he
said pleasantly. "Won't you come
Into the house with me and have
ome supper?"
"Good evening, Mister . . . Mister
Btlmson," answered bis uninvited
guest, speaking at first slowly and
distinctly and meticulously dividing
his syllables. "There is nothing, sir,
you can offer me now or at any other
time. I have coma, sir, for my daugh
ter Leslie, a rumor having reached
my ears lata this evening that she
was not a welcome guest la this pica
yunlsh provincial assemblage that
makes Itself a laughing stock by try
ing to apa Its bolters of the great
world and calls Itself society. Soci
ety!" Hera he laughed, a great bois
terous shout and then calmed him
self and frowned. "But I must apolo
gise to the ladles presont. 1 do apolo
gise from the bottom of my heart
jit Is, 1 assure you, sir, a matter
rather tor tears than for laughter,
but alaa my aense of the ridiculous
sometimes betrays rae. The first
i families of Kansas!"
A GAIN ha laughed, laughed while
the tears ran down his cheeks
and ha could barely stand, while be
kept repeating between paroxysms,
"I do apologise. 1 do apologlta. But It
really Is side splitting."
"No doubt," said James somewhat
grimly, "but suppose we go up to the
house and talk It over. 1 am afraid
I we are delaying this dance."
t "In a moment, my young sir, In a
moment And In the meantime please
be so good as to take you hand off
my arm. It happens that 1 have a
great aversion to being pawed. In my
youth, when there were still a few
men left In this country who might
properly be celled gentlemen, 1
would have run a man through tor
less affront than yours." (James
hastily withdrew his arm).
"But have no fear. Have no fear.
My blood has cooled with my years.

GREAT RICHES
I
If you will conduct me to my daugh
ter, young fellow, 1 will wipe the
dust of this household oft my boot
and guarantee to wlthdaw myself
and any member of my family from
a canaille which has dared to look
down upon us."
"Come on, Mr. Harris," Interrupt
ed Sam Fletcher, who chose this
moment to appear from the shad
ows. "You know I never looked down
on Leslie. Come along with me and
we'll hunt her up."
"I'm here," said a little strained
voice and Leslie stepped forward,
her eyes red but her head held high.
"Come, Father, come along with Sam
and me and we'll all go home."
Mr. Harris' high-handed manner
suddenly forsook him and he began
to cry.
"You've been Insulted, Leslie," he
sobbed, "Insulted by a bunch of riff
raff your grandmother wouldn't
have wiped her feet on. My God, Les
lie, when I think of your grand
mother . . ."
"VJEVER mind, never mind,"
' coaxed Leslie urging him for
ward and out of earshot. Bam had
his other arm but James stuck vali
antly to their beeis, Insisting that ha
and no other should drive them
home.
Miss Sarah, who stuck as persls-
"My blood has cooled."
tantly to James as James to Leslie,
was forced to demur In no uncer
tain tones, pleading James' duties
as host, which her nephew Im
patiently waved aside.
"Of course you have got to stay
and look out for your guests," inter
rupted Mr. Samuel Fletcher In bis
loud truculent voice. "And since I
brought Leslie to the party I'd like
to know why I shouldn't take her
home."
"Please, Leslie . . ." persisted
James, but Leslie avoided his plead
ing eyes and turned to Sam. All the
life, all the sparkle had gone out of
her and It occurred to James he bad
never In his life seen anyone look
so tired. As the three drove off, Mr.
Harris still sobbing and protesting
weakly, James could have cried him
self. Of course It had to happen at his
party. Of course it had to ba the
mutt who bad the good luck to be
chosen as Leslie's prop and staff in
stead ot one who would have given
ten years of his life to have spared
her one moment of humiliation.
But ha would sea her tomorrow.
Ha would show her as tactfully and
delicately as he knew how just how
much ba respected her and looked
up to her. None but a little thor
oughbred would have faced that
giggling crowd as Leslie bad and
gone off with her head held hlgb
and not a suggestion of apology. Oh,
he would tell her, he would show
her. . . .
Damn tha miserable old dance
anyway! Damn the miserable heart
less brutes who bad laughed at Les
lie's shame. They weredanclng again,
gay and excited and happy as If they
had not Just watched a girl's heart
break and her line courage In bear
ing it a girl so much finer than tha
whole pack of them that tilers wasn't
a single one fit to tie her shoe laca.
Ha could not face them. He
would not go back and danca and
listen to their snickers and Innuen
does. The least he could do to show
his loyalty to Leslie would be to go
off some place by hlmsult and suf
fer with her.

BURGESS TO DIRECT
As director of the light opera, Fra
Diavolo, Ralph Burgesa, has a Job of
considerable magnitude but no one
could have been chosen with a wider
background of experience for this re
sponsibility. For years Ralph has
1 been Identified with the theater; In
fact, he was really born Into the at
mosphere of the stage, his father
and mother both having achieved
fame In opera and In the drama.
Added to his responsibilities as di
rector, however, he will essay the
role of Beppo, one of the robber co
horts of the bandit chieftain, Fra
Diavolo. But here again experience
stands him in good stead for, with
the Boston English, the Dunbar and
the American Light Opera companies,
Ralph has played this comedy part
numberless times, receiving flatter
ing press notices from critics wher
ever the various companies appeared.
Olacomo, the companion cutthroat
to Beppo, will be portrayed by none
other than W. F. Qulsenberry, now a
sedate business man of Medford, but
formerly associated for years with
the old Boston Ideal Opera company,
a troupe that made operatic history
throughout the east and middle, west.
As a comedian "Quiz" Is without ft
peer and his impersonation of the
tatterdemalion brigand puts ft lot of
laughs into the show.
St. Mark's Altar Guild, which Is
sponsoring the performance, has set
tha rifttt? definitely for the second
week in May which, appropriately
enough, is National Music Week. Fra
Diavolo will be Medford ' contribu
tion toward Its observance.
