That's a fine way to welcome your father home—lugging several hundred peo ple into my house with a strange pang of servant:*." “But father, dear, we didn’t ex pect you. Mot for ever eo long.

Hedge from head to feet. “Who In blazes are you?” he de manded. “This is Mr. Hedge, father” said Constance hurriedly. “Hedge? Vfhy, that’s the upstart who ordered these flunkies to t*row me out!” “Just a part of the surprise, Mr. Brooke,” observed H. Hedge with a winning smile. “Of course we didn t really mean It, you know." ’ The smile was lost upon the owner , cf the mansion. “Oh, you didn’t mean it!” he echoed savagely. "Well, you wait til!
