The Major always drank three
glasses of champagne at his Sunday
dinner, and he was finishing the third.
"What dp you say about it, Isabel?
By Jove !". he cried, pounding the
table, "she's, blushing!"
Eugene was as pink as Isabel, but
he laughed jwithout any sign of embar

color. "There's another Important
thing that is, for me," he said. "It's
the only thing that makes, me forgive

warm approval, and there was a mur

CHAPTER X.
That night George began a jubilant
warfare upon his Aunt Fanny, .open
ing the campaign upon 1 his return
home at about eleven o'clock. Fanny
had retired, and was presumably
asleep, but George, on the way to his
own room, paused before her door,
and serenaded her in a full baritone:
"As I walk along- the Boy do Baton?
With my Independent air,
The people all declare, C
'He must be a millionaire!'
Oh, you hear them sigh, and -wish to die,
And see them wink the other eye

so gloomy and excited before I went
out, last evening, I thought she needed
cheering up."
He turned to his mother. "What's
the matter with grandfather?"
"Didn't you see him this morning?"
Isabel asked.
"Yes. v He was. glad to see me, and
all that, but he seemed pretty .fidgety.
Has he been having trouble with his
heart again?"
"Not lately. No."
"Well, he's not himself. What's he
upset, over?
Isabel looked serious : however, it
was her husband who suggested gloom
ily, "I suppose the Major's bothered
about this Sydney and Amelia busi

"What Sydney and Amelia busi
ness?" George asked.
"Your mother can tell you, If she
wants to," Minafer said., "It's not my
side of the family, so I keep off."
"It's . rather disagreeable for all of
us, Georgie," Isabel began. "You see,
your Uncle Sydney wanted a diplo
matic position, and he thought Brother
George, being in congress, could ar
range it. George did get him the offer
of a South American ministry, but
Sydney wanted a European ambassa

with poor George for thinking he'd
take anything smaller and he be-

and Sydney and Amelia are hurt with .
me about it, I'm afraid. They've
stopped speaking to George entirely.

of life." y '
An hour after lunch, George strolled
over to his grandfathers, intending to
apply for further information, as a
party ngnnuuy inieresteu.
He did not Carry out this intention,
however. Going into the big house by
a side entrance, he was. informed that
the Major was upstairs In his bedroom,
that his sons Sydney and George were
both with - him, and that a serious
argument was in progress. ; . '
George went to the foot or the great
stairway.. He could hear angry voice
overhead those of 1 his1 two uncles- .
and a plaintive murmur, as if the
Major tried to keep the peace.
Such sounds were far from encous J
aging to callers, and George decide!
not to go upstairs until this interrien -was
over. He turned from the stair
way, and going quietly into the library;
picked up a magazine but he did not
open it, for his attention was Instant
