"It's not what I prefer, still there 1 Is n margin of profit." "Huh: 1 should think so, at ninety j dollars a suit. Well, this town Is full . of fools " ; Hoti agreed "Hut we dress m bet- j ter than they do In Pittsburgh." I After a moment's consideration Uan-1 hllinl said slowly: "Mother's at the Waldorf: she wants to see you. You've ju-t about broken her heart, Bob." ' We're not going out much, but per ilous e could call on her " 'We" I said she wants to see you." ' "And not my wife?" "Cetlaiiily not. Neither do I. You don't seem to understand" Hob answered smoothly: "Certainly I understand: you think ninety dollars Is too much for a suit. Perhaps I can show you something In scarfs of an exclusive design?" "Don't be funny!" growled his fa titer. "Ilcally. d id. you'd better go. Tha' suit of yours Is a sight. Somebody may think we iniide It for you." Mr Wharton remained silent for s moment. "The situatlou Is Impossible and anybody but you would see It. We can't accept that woman, and wt won't, fhe'a notortoua." "No more so than I am or you. for that matter." "She's a grafter. She'd quit yon If I paid her enough." "How do you know?" "Her mother has been to aee me half a dozen times. I've offered to pay bar anything within reason, but they're holding out for something big. You come back. Bob. Let her go to ber owtl people." "And whnt'e to become of the other one?" Bub wua nulling faintly " The other one?

Hob's color had reced ed, but lu no other way did he show his struggle for self-uiastery. "My lfe Isn't bearing a child to aplte you and If It ever uecds a grandfather we'll adopt one."

Bob bad seldom been couaclous of a dellberatj effort to please himself, for to want a thing bad alwaya meant to bare It almost before the desire bad been recognized. Tbe gratification of his Impulses bad become a sort of sec ond nature to hlta. and one day. feel- Id vi that he owed a debt of fileudllueas to the world, he was Impelled to llqul-. date It. lie dkl struggle half heartedly against hie first drink, but after he had taken It and after other drinks bad gone the way of the first, he met a numtier of people whom he liked and. to whom he waa Inspired to show his liking, and, strange to say. the more he drank the more of anch friends he dls.sivcred. Hy late afternoon he was In a fantastically Jubilant mood, and. seizing Kurtz, be bore htm across tbe way to Deliuonloo'a. Now, liurti waa worldly and there fore tolerant.

It was thai expansive and expensive hour of the afternoon when business worrli-s are dropped and before social j cares are shouldered. It waa cocktail ! time along the avenue, the hour when sprees are born and eugugemetits bro ken, and as It lengthened Wharton cele brated It as In days gone by. His last regret bad vanished: he was hav ing a splendid time, when a page called btm to a telephone booth. Adoree' voice greeted him: she was speaking from his own h iiue. nod ber first words almost sobered hlin. Some thing was wrong: Hob was needed ii f kly ; l.orelcl was asking for him. For more than an hour they bad been vainly trying to locale him. They had sui-'seded in reaching the doctor, and he was there with a nurse. Adoree a voice broke - l.orelel us frightened and so was tbe speaker. Hob had bet ter waste no time. When Hob lurched out of the booth be was white: tbe noisy giotip he bad left rose lu siurin at sight of his stricken face, tils legs 4ed him a crooked course out of the cafe, bring lug him Into collision with chair and tables and causing hlin to reaile for the first lime bow far he had allowed himself to go. lu a shaking vol. e he called for a tat lea b. meanwhile allow ing the raw air of the street to cool his bend.

The cab swung Into the curb, snd he scrambled out. then stumbled blind ly up the steps aud Into the building where he lived. Adoree met him at bis own door. Wharton's Impression was vague; he saw little more than the tragic widen- ! Ing of the girl's eyes as she recognised hb condition. "Am I as bad as that?" he stam mered. "Do you hltik she'll nolle It?" ' Oh. Hob!" Adoree cried. In a strick en voice. "How could you at thla time?" "You said she wanted me. 1 could a't take time-" "Yes!
