I’m grateful for it. I have always let
him do as he jiieased at the ofHce
ill the hope that he would some day

“He’s very bright—and likable,”
said Mrs. Craighill. “Fanny says he’s
a genius.”

Wingfield!” cried Addie; “he talks to
me only of pictures and music. I
can’t imagine him watching men
pound each other.”
“He’s a fellow of first rate ability,”
observed Col. Craighill, to whom
Wingfield was a deplorable idler who
had made no use of his talents. “But
he has never justified his right to
exist.”
“Why should he work merely to
please his critics? If he took a job,
it would throw somebody else out.
What would you have him do?”
Wayne demanded.
“Our rich young men have had
too much notoriety: they have
brought scandal upon the city!” ejac
ulated Col. Craighill wiathfully and
with unmistakable application.
“You oughtn’t to believe all you
see in the yellow papers. Besides.
Dick's about the decentest man I
ever know. He doesn’t pretend to
sole ownership in all the virtues.
Thai’s why I like him so well.”
Col. Craighill had frequently made
these thrusts at Wingfield and to
night Wayne resented them more
than usual. He turned to Addie, who
had sought a book on the table and
was studying the title page attentive
ly during this interchange. She
thought Wayne had not shown his
father ]>roper respect and the dis
turbance of the room’s tranquility
annoyed her,
“When do you head for the Hub,
Addie?’’ ayne asked.
“It’s tomorrow night, isn’t it, Rog
er?”
“Yes; tom.orrow evening,” answer
ed Col Craighill reaching for a ma-
ga:^in‘?.
"Dick and I spend onlv a few days
as,‘-ailing the im.ienetrable fas‘riesr-c5
of the Philadelphia aiind. ihero
ar.ything special coming up, farher?’
“Nothing out of the usual run. I
iliink Gregory may come ’n, but .'»>u
t:ecfiTVi trouhl;' about him. Tell 1 irn
I'll aee him when I come back.”
■‘Ho was .11 t(i(tay, no’.' that I
liiiak ci it,” -omarked Wa. ne, lhr’,;sr-
ing his hands li'.io his po':'ke''‘i, ‘‘i nc*
wa.’od an ho.i' for you.’
"I’m perfectly av/are of thar,” snap
ped Col. Craighill. "I was Inisy and
rent word for him to see Morehead.
He’s so per;;istent lately thir bc';s
lost any claim he had as an old
cvOfiUaintal■'c^' and we’ll let iiin* face
,:e facts t;q.ir.;cly with o-i’- lav.’yer.”
He spoke with considerable irri
tation, but he controlled himself and
adjusted his glasses to read.
It -vas I he first time that he had
shown anger before his wife. She
iiad wondered whether anything could
shatter his perfcct poise and affa
bility, and his display of temper
frightened her, much as exhibitions
cf anger in adults alarm and dismay
children.
“I must get my bag; I’m holding
the car,’’ said Wayne to Addie. "1
ht'pe you’ll have a fine outing.”
"Wayne#” interposed Col. Craighill,
"your man Joe doesn’t seem quite es
sential to this establishment. It
seems to me we might get along with
one chauffeur between us.”
“Tiioii," grinned Wayne, “you had
i;etior fire yours. Joe has been here
longer, and we must stick lo the
merit system if the heavens fall.”
"loe'.-i a sporting character; my
man is a riRined mechanic. number
of men have spoken to me of Joe’o

“They ought to speak to me. If you

“I don't like to think of such

liave tione for me. it means more to
me, Roger, than you have any idea
of. You have been most kind and
considerate, and generous in every
way. I have never been so happy—
I never expected such happiness to
come to me. it doesn’t seem that I
deserve it.
She sat down on a stool beside him
and he took one of her hands and
hold it on his kree and stroked it
fondly. This tenderness, keyed to the
domestic tone of tiio liearthslde,
soothed and exalted her. He believed
in her, she belonged to him; she
wished tliat this hour might never
end, so perfect were its peace and
happiness. He talked tonight with a
new freedom, and she felt the years
diminish between them. lie told her
many anecdotes of old times in the
city, describing the humble begin
nings of some of his fellow-tov.'ns-
mrn: “When I first knew him he

bif graphy. The hours passed sv/iftly.
.\t half-iiast ten a motor stopped at
the side door, and a moment later
Wayne’s key snapped the lock.
‘‘I'll tell him to come in here,”
said Addle, rising. He answered her
summons cherrily, and came in and
stoed with his back to the fire. His
high spirits caused his father to
eve him carefully, but Wayne, as
though in answer to this silent in-
quniry, straightened himself and stood
erect with arms fol'j^i for inspection.
“I’m off for a little trip -tonight.
Wingfield v,’ants me to go over to
Philadelphia with him to see a mask
and wig show. We’ll come back in
three or four days.”
“Are you sure it isn’t a prize
fi.ght?” quizzed C’ol. Craighill. “I’m
alyaws a little suspicious of Dicks’
expeditions. When you and he leave
town I usually find there's been a
prize fight at the other end of the
line.”

A\ah di.:>'eascd that Wayne had
made it neccssary for her to take
s'res at all, Wayne's unreasonab'e-
uess had ca’ised the domestic sanctu
ary lamp to iiict'.er just at tho mo-
me'ot when it rad flamed mo'^t ai'^’-
])icioii«iy. With ‘'vdden access of. fcfl-
ing she crossed the room and laid
iier hand i.ently on Coi. Craig’iiH's
arm.
“Roger,” she murmured softly, “I'm
so sr.rvyl”
“Don’t trouble, dear; it’s too bad
you had to witness my humiliation;
tiUt it’s iiievinbie, I supixjse, that
you should know.”
She saw that he sympathy was
graceful to him; she felt his respons'?

l.air as sl>€ kTieil beside him. They
remained thus until they heard
'A'ayne running down stairs humming

Col. Craighill was again turning the
leaves of a periodical, and he threw
it down with a yawn.
“It must be bedtime.” He paused
and listened. “Isn’t that the door

He returned carrying a special de

cellation of ISO mortgages—so that this Association has been instru
mental in adding since January 1910, 1S9 homes to Charlotte. These
facts ought and no doubt will have their weight with the people
everywhere throughout the land.
