me if she thught I was pursuing her;
I went abovit my business, bul. on
my way out ran into her again.
Wiiat eould be more natural than
tliat I should walk to my sister’s
house with her?”
‘‘Von must have known she was
going to the setilenient house: it's
a little hard to accept so many coin-
cidcnros. And I had asked you to let i
her aloni'.’’
‘ Paddock invited me to visit him;

“So you took her home in your

“.loe!" exclaimed ?>Tr='. Blair witii
more animation; and then: “You
I'vi.'i s;or rid of that fellow. I don't
lil:e him '’
Mrs. Blair spoke with so much en
ergy that Wayne laughed aloud.
"\vhy, Fanny, .foe has saved my
life many times, lie's been so miser-
iiide when I went bad that I've been
a-hamed to face him."
Mr.^. Blair relapsed into silence,
and he saw' by the flashes of the
electric lamps at the corners that
.d;(‘ was seriously troubled.
“Vou know without my telling you
il’.at you must let this girl alone.
These chance meetings won’t oeeu?
again—if they have been chance
meetings 1’’
•‘I swear it. Fanny!”
•‘She's terribly poor; she has am-
iiiruis, and I'm tvying to help her.
'{flic's nt'crly ’ins(,'phisticatcd. as yoii
can see: you will ruin her future
and make her wrevehedly unhapjiy
if you don’t avoid her."
“When do you think a man can
!i«ain to be good? Do you think I am
„o tUtC’'ly rotten that no decent 'v^'O-
nif'^n may ever dare know me? Come
nou-, Fanny."
“There are plenty of girls you can
know if you want to—who don’t live
in boarding houses and starve their
wa.v through art schools."
“But they haven’t her eyes; they
don’t carry their heads like god
desses,’’ he persisted.
“You've seen too many eyes in
too many divine heads. I tell you, it
w(',n't do! If you Avill think of It a
minute you will see that only a
word is enough to wreck that girl’s
life. Do you suppose you can call
on her :’.t her boarding house? A''e
you going to walk with her to her
ie.ssnns? Do you quite see yourself
(akip.g her to concerts and to church
Smiday mornings? My big brother, if
you don’t stop being preposterous
i shall get angry."
‘■Oh. no. Please don’t! Fm disap
pointed; I thought you had advised
me to be good and marry and settle
dovv^n.’’
“Marry! That girl? Wayne, j'on are
imiHissible! ’’
“Very likely: btit the girl isn’t so
impossible. 1 hadn’t thought of marry
ing her, but the idea doesn’t exactly
terrify me. She’s an immensely inter-
e.sting person—she haunts me like a
I heme in music. She’s poor and if I
could save her from the pitfalls of
art—the failures, the heartache of
falling to arrive—that isn't so im
possible, is it?”
“Yes, it’s absolutely out of the
question. And if you don’t let her
alone Fll ship her back where she
came from; .just one more of these
coincidences and I’ll do that. We’ve
had enough marriages in the family,
I hope, to last for some time.”
“Ah! So this bitterness of spirit is
not all for me? Has John taken to
evil ways?”
“What's the matter at father^s?
Why was Addie crying this morning
when 1 went in to see her?”
“I dare say she cried because you
came, if you were as fierce as you
are nov/.”
“She had been crying and looked
misera4)ly imhappy.”
“Probably a row^ with the cook.
She isn’t used to keeping house.
S'ne’s going to Boston with the colon
el and that will set her up again.”
Mrs, Blair was silent for a monet
•hen flashed:
“How much do you see of her?”
“Precious li:tle. Breakfast, and a
glimpse sometimes as I go to my
couch at ni^aht."
"Yo\ must leave the house; you
nn; 4>^oD\p and live with us at once,”
d''c!aVed Mrs. Blair with impressive
finality.
‘•Thanks!” W'ayne laughed. “Do you
think I lease my stepmother 'to
make her cry? Do you think my mor-
;il example is bad for her? Addle
snubs me every chance she gets.
Only this morning at breakfast, \vhile
the colonel read a ];apal encyclical
or something equally exciting, Addie
and I discussed the relative merits of
country sausage and chocolate
eclaires. To see me sitting at the
breakfast table between the colonel
and ray stepmother is edifying be-
yo!ul any words. Addie is a good
girl; I like Addie. But she isn't in
tiio same class with your protegee.
Here’s the club; shall I detach John
McCandless from the sacred rye-pots
and send him out?”
‘ You know that John, never drinks;
and he’s in Buffalo today.”
“Then he will drink beyond any
doiii)t: one mu^^V-in Buffalo!”
Vv’hile he stood chaffing her at the
car door, she clasped his hand tightly
and begged him to see her soon. As
the car strted a nevrsboy hailed
Wayne familiarly from thes treet and
Fanny saw her brother’.'; broad
.-^houldors bent over the lad and his
elbow crooked as he felt for a coin
How true it was that everyone liked
\Va.\ne! His generosity was b9und-
less; the very' recklessness and ex-
tnivagance of his derelictions en
deared him to many. As the club door
closed tipor him the newslioy dashed
off with an e.'in'iant shout on the
v.ings of new fortune.
CHAPTER XVI.
The Trip to Boston.
Mrs. Craigbill bo're the scrutiny of
!ier new fellov,-citizens with . dignity,
and by the first of December she had
ceased to be a curiosity. She had
’net every one of importance: even
■'•Irs. Wingfield had been obUgcd to
l-'ow to her at a reception. Those
who persisted in their deterniinaticu
to ignore her advent were too few to
c'’’nt. It had been hinted that she
\\»n^’d prove loud; that she w:ts dull;
'.liat she w'ould make her hu2);and’s
money fly—“such women” always did;
but no one worth considering was
willing at the end of two months (o
f:ay that she was properly to be
classed among “such women.” Her
severest critics were those who, hab
ituated to the contemplation of Rog
er Croighill's presence in a front
] pw at church, feared that bfk- mariy-
ing one of •‘such women’’—they being
young adventuresses lioaded biazcn-
iy for the divorce conit—c>ieir id-’l
might suffer the pains and nojialtios
of scandal and alimony. Even the
irost conservative now admitted thnt
if Mrs. Craighill’s motives in I'larry-
iiig her elderly husband had r.nt bean
the noblest, she was can’yin-^ 5ier-
seif well. Members of her ov,n set,
v>ho had been among the oraginsl
(Icubters, bad waited for the coin-
i;letG disclostire of Mrs. Craighill's
wardrobe before committing them
selves. but the taste and sohrtety of
her raiment disarmed ’critici-sni; she
was not loud. In another of the cir
cles within the circle it w^as ques
tioned v/hether the newcomer was
l;ited intellectually to be Roger Craig-
i'l'il’s wife, but Fanny Blair vonched
for' the worthiness of her stepmoth
er’s interests. “Addie reads every
thing,” declared Mrs. Blair sweepin^-
ly, whereupon Mrs. Craighill was
liromptly nominated for membcrsi'in
in the Wom^an’s club. Many were
saying that her conduct, in circun-
stances the most difficult, had been j
admirable and the frequency with |
•vhich, in these first weeks, Fanny
Blair had gone about with her, adver
tised the completeness of the iv^w
wife's acceptance in the family. 11
was e>’en whispere:’ that Wayne had
reforined, and this startling announce
ment. where it found credence, was
attributed to his stepmother’s inlUi-
ence.
Roger Craighill and his wife were
dining alone at home the evening be
fore the day of their departure for
Boston. He had long made a point of
dressing for dinner and she v/ore a
gown he had not seen before and
whose perfection he praised.
“Your taste is exquisite. Addle. I
like you in light things; they seem
to be a part of you—to express you.
You are the most graceful and
charming woman in the world.”
Her face brightened. They had been
dining out a groat deal and it w-as
a pleasure to have this evening at
their own table. She felt again the
dignity of her position as Roger
Craighill’s v/ife. She had been hurt
deeply by his exclusion of her on
the night he had written his ad
dress; but she thought now how
handsome he was, how well he car
ried his j^ears, and it was no mean
thing to have been chosen by such a
man to share his home and fame.
She had found it all too easy to take
refuge in Wayne’s ready comrade
ship; the stolen references to their
earlier acquaintance that she had
suffered him to make had shown her
how dangerous it was to trust to his
consolations. Wayne must be kept at
a distance; she would take care that
■ he did not see her again alone.

when asked the make of his piano, to be
able to say, “1 have a Knabe.” Wo enable
you to realize this ambition by allowing you
a fair amount on your old instrument ex
changed for a new Knabe. As you know, the wonderful
resonance of the ^ -
KNABE TONE
•
the volume, the touch, the evenness of scale throughout, the
case etiects, all, in fact, have combined to give the Knabe its
pre-eminence. You put yourself under no obligation to

decide whether it won't be worth while to change your old
piano for a new Knabe.

We feel sure that many thousand of Charlotte’s citizens as well
as many of other states have been on the qui-vive for the announce
ment by this world renowned Association of the opening of another
SERIES the

chldron cry for it, so we can say with assurance that not only chil
dren, but every one, old and young and their rousing, s’sters and

success—in that the two Series opened during that year went to TO U
shares, of a pai- .'&lue of TOi.400 that our current business for the year
'was $620,000.00.
We have paid out since January 1st, 1910, to maturing Series the
sum of $324,000 of which $158,000 was cash, and $165,000 ir. tho cin-
cclladon of 189 mortgages—so that this Association has been insti'u-
mental in adding since January 1910, 189 homes to Charlotte. These
facts ought and no doubt will have their weight with the people
everywhere throughout the land.
