John Gordon came up to tbe side of the table opposite bis father and looked keenly across at blm. Then bo turned away and went over to one of the great windows and looked out on the fashionable avenue. When be finally turned around and faced bis father again, be was astonished to sec blm rising from bis chair ami coming over toward blm. In all bis knowledge of bis father, John Gordon had never known blm before to exhibit so much feeling, rrobably neither man rally understood the event. Afterward, In going over tbe scene, John Gordon could not avoid a feeling of suspicion as to Its genuineness, but he had never known hte father to play a part, and, in fact. conldcred blm quite Incapable of It. riowever that may be, Rufus Gordon now began an appeal to bis son that for the time being had considerable In fluence over blm. "John," bo began, holding out bis bands, although when the son stepped forward as If to meet him affection ately be dropped his arms quickly to bis stiles, "you are my only son, nnd I depend en you. It has been tbe ambi tion of my life to see you succeeding to the place which I now occupy. I do not understand what you have Just been saying. It has no meaning to me. In that snse. what you ay is very true we can never understand eocb other. But you woubl have independence in tbe twsition I offer yon ami for which you have beeu trained. If you wanted to experiment In these matters of social problems. a yon call tbem. yon would hare the money and yonr place In soci ety to help you. But If yon step out side the circle In which we belong you will have no standing and no Influence. Rut It Is not clear to me yet what your plan are, In case you Anally decide to reject my plant for you. lie stopped suddenly, and John Gor don, looking eagerly nnd vlth growing astonishment Into bis father's face, noted for tbe first time Mgns of grow ing age In the deep wrinkles about the eyes, the bent shoulders and a slight but noticeable shaking of one hand as the long white fingers fumbled nt tbe watch chain. He had novur before en tertained the Idea that bis father was an old man. Itufns Gordon had al warn lwm so tinrlcbt of carriage. o firm and stpady on Ida feet, so decide!

Uufus Gor don repeated the words and took a step toward Ids son. "You love the people, then, more than your okl father! For tbe people you would do what you would not do for me! Ami who are the people? Masses of tbe envions. tbe des perate, tbe thriftless, tbe irrespoaeibi. Are we to blame for their condition? Yon talk of soeulwrongs. Hut who makes them invisible but tbe ople themselves?" John listened in astonishment. In all their conversation hi fattier bad ueter before spoken so. TIhtv wn a strain almost f inildnojh?

When be lifted bis face again toward John Gordon, It wr.s i be same cold, proud, bard fae with which be had Ikaeoed to his son's Indictment of his own aad his father's social seJnsaaeas. John Gordon was o eouf used by this scene aud his father's manner that he stood Irresolutely silent by tbe win dow. Tbe whole incident stwuied fan tastically unreal It was to unlike any thing his father had ever done before. He had Jaat tamed from tbe window to speak waaa a voice in the next room bgaatiKg.
