rnrt te DMuerct aitcr all,
EOULAR hour
belngt- among the
requirements of the
head of the Tram-,,
lay household, Lu
cia appeared at the
breakfast table the
morning after the
reception a the
clock ttruck eight
I uer rattier, dressed
for business, and
her mother, in nea
Ugee attire and ex
pression, were dia-
cussimr the unbid
den guest of the evening before.
"But he was te country ee dreadful com
mon," protested Mrs. Tramlay, with ber cus
tomary helpless air.
"Nonsense!" said her husband. "There
was nothing country or common about his
face and manner. There hasn't been te
bright eyed, manly looking a fellow In our
house before since 1 don't knew when. Eh.
LuclaP
"Agnes Dinen said he was real One look
ing," the girl answered.
"Agnes Dinen U thirty-six if she's a day,"
answered Mrs. Tramlay, in a petulant tone.
"80 much the better atted te past oplnlent
en young men," sold Tramlay. "Shows
mere sense in one girl of her age than a hun
dred like-like"
"Like me, papa," said Lucia. "Yeu may
at well say IL"
"Like you, then. Bless your dear, Igno
rant heart, I'd give my head If you could see
ascleurlyas she without waiting se long le
loam."
"Yeu may be very sure, though, that Miss
Agnes trill neer Invite hint te her own re
ceptions." liejl.tiwl Mrs. Truinlay
"Wrong again, mamma; she's Invited him
for next Tuesday night, and I de belleve she
devised tbe reception just for the purpose.
Nbne of us had heard of It before."
Mrs. Tramlay gathered nil her strength,
stimulated it with mi entire cup of tea, and
exclaimed:
"Well, I should like te knew what society
is coming te, If a common farmer's boy, of
no family, can stumble Inte town aud be In
vited about te geed houses."
"Coming te Why, my dear wife, it Is
coming te its senses. I'm glad, In this iar
Ocular case, the movement began at our
heuse."
"Nobody would have paid nny attention te
htm. If you hadn't talked se much about him,''
said Mrs. Tramlay. "One would have thought
him a dear old friend, te hour you go en
about him as you did."
"I said nothing but what was true. 1
merely said he was ene of the Quest young
men I had ever known, that he was of the
highest character, and vciy Intelligent be
tides." "Such qualities don't make a mau fit for
society," said the lady of the house,
"Ne, 1 suppose net; If they did we'd bce
mere of them at our receptions and parties."
"Edgar I"
"Well, well," said Tramlay, leaving ths
table, kissing his wife, aud pi sparing te hurry
te bis office, "it Isn't jour fault; we can't
expect what can't be bad, I sup-rose."
"Lucia," said Mrs. Tramlay, aftcr the
Children had been dispatched te school, "1
hope your father's peculiar notions won't
affect you."
"About Phlll Npnscnse, you dear old
worry I But really, mother, he made quite
an Impression. A let of the girls admired
htm ever se much. I began te apologize and
explain, as seen as I could get rid of blm,
but I found It wasn't at all necessary."
"Girls will admire aujthlng that's new
anything, from a Zulu te a meukey."
"Mammal"
"Yeung men like Hayn can't ever marry
out of their own circle, you should be able te
see that Hew can they buy beuses for their
wives, and furnish them properly, and het
up horses aud carriages, ami keep In society I"
"Mamma, you're tee dieadfully funuy in
deed you are. Suppose yeuug men aicn't
rich enough te marry, can't girls like them!
Aren't young peeple geed for auj thing but
te get married f
"I'm very sorry," laid the mother, abrupt
ly leaving the room, "that you have such
trifling viens of life."
When Philip Hayn left the family mansion
a little aftcr midnight he had but two dis
tinct ideas oue was that he had better find
his way back te Sel Mantring's sleep te shep,
and the ether wes thnt he didn't believe he
could fall asleep ngalu In less than a week.
All that he hail teen, tbe people uet excepted,
was utteily unlike Hay uteu. The ceuversa
tien, also, was new, uitbeugli ha could net
remember much of It; and the ladies well,
he always had admired whatever was admlr admlr
able in thoyeung women In the village, but
thcre certainly were-110 kuch hnndsonie and
brilliant girls at Hayuten as some he had
met that night.
He could net ex'rtaln te himself the dlffer dlffer
ence, except that, cempaied with Lucia'
friends, tits old acquaintances appeared w ell,
rather unfinished and ignorant. And as for
as these new acquaintances appeared ubove
his elder oues, se far did Lucia appear above
her friends. He had studied her face scores
of times buforeand told himself wheie It was
faulty; new he mentally withdrew every
criticism he had ever made and declared her
perfection itself. Would he ever forget hew
the looked as she offered te help him from
that easy chair In the library! He wished
bis mother might have seen her at that in
stant; then he was glad she did net. He re
membered that Ills mother did net entirely
approve of seme of Lucia's bathing dresses,
what would the geed woman think of fash
ionable evening attlret And jet perhaps it
was uet as dreadful as It seemed. Evidently
Lucia's mother approved of it, and was uet
she a meuitier of a church net, he regretted,
of the faith In which all Haynten worshiped,
yet still a church I And did net many of
Lucia's guests dress In similar stylet
He mentally laid tbe subject away for
future consideration, and gave his mind te
his own attire. Until that evening bis faith
In the perfection of his Sunday suit was a
unquestioning as his faith in Haynteu'i
preacher, but new it was hopelessly shat
tered. He did net admlre the attire of the
gentlemen he had met, but the evidence was
overwhelming that it was the correct thing,
and that he must prepare himself te dress in
like fashion If be went te Miss Dinen's party.
And, by the way, what a queenly woman
that MUs Dinen was!
He would like te meet her again; be cer
tainly must attend that party. But If be
bought evening dress, what should he de
with It when he left the city I Ne young
man felt mere freedom than he te de as he
liked in Haynten, but te appear in a "swal
low tail" at church or anywhere else in the
village would be simply iuixssible, the mere
thought of it made him tremble and then
laugh. A suit of clothes merely te wear two
or three evenlugs perhaps only one would
be a shocking extravagance, they probably
would cost half as much as a new horse, or
two or three dozen of the books he bad for
years been longing te buy He would give
up Miss Dinen's party, the thought of doing
te made blm doleful, but de It he must.
Almest immediately aftcr forming this
virtuous resolution he bearded a herse car,
en which were several couples, evidently ro re
turniug from a party somewhere, se again
Phil feuud himself study iug attire. Gradu
ally It occurred te him that his own appear
ance was attracting attention. This was uet
a new experience; he bail encountered it
several times at Haynten with calmness, In
deed, although he was net vain, he bad nev er
feared comparison, In church, of his appear
ance with that of any summer !eaider from
the city; for, as bis mother has already in
timated in these pages, his Sunday coat had
been cut from the same piece of cloth as the
minister's. But new he felt III at ease while
btlug eyed, net at all impertinently, by tbe
young people whesat facing bcn. First be

ravuRst "tne Ihrtary critical 'gutneet were
directed te his hard rubber watch guard;
then he was sure the cut of lilt rest was net
being approved t he detected one rery pretty
young woman in the act of ,cuppresting a
smile as she looked at his shoes. Thirdly, he
wet obliged te believe that an admirably
dressed fellow opposite entirely disapproved
of his Sunday coat the coat cut from min
ister's cloth and made by Sarah Twccge,
and with a real silk velvet cellar, tool
Little by little. Phil lest his aelf possession)
he could scarcely leek In any direction with
out encountering the eyes of tome one who
teemed te regard him at a curiosity. An at
tempt te Ignore the attention by reeding the
advertising signs above the windows of the
car was a dismal failure, for he somehow felt
that several pairs of eye were upon htm, and
this was rather mere annoying than seeing
them. The strain became unendurable; ee be
suddenly looked through a window, aa if te
tee where he wet, then hastily went te the
rear platform and asked the conductor te let
him off. As he ttoed there he beard a young
man whisper i
"Country I"
Then he heard a young woman tot tly ejac
ulktei "TehM"
Th street was as dark as gas lighted street
usually are; It was almost deserted, and the
autumn evening was quite chilly, but Phil
felt as if hlsblazlng eyes were Illuminating
everything as if the walls had eyes te leek
disapprevlngly'at Haynten fashions, or as If
his own bleed were het enough te warm the
entire atmosphere of New Yerk. He knew
what he would de; w hen he reached Sel Man
tring's sleep he would remain aboard until
she sailed; then he would go back te Hayn Hayn
eon and remain there forever. He could ex
ist without New Yerk, if New Yerk found
him unsatisfactory. He didn't care ever te
see again anybody in New Yerk, except, per
haps, Lucia, As for her, hadn't even she
Before the next cer arrived, Phil had en
tirely chauged his mind. Nevertheless, be
fore continuing his Jouruey he cautiously
peered In te see if any of the passengers were
likely te preve critical. There teemed te be
no one te fear; at one end of the car was a
shabby looking peddler with bis pack, evi
dently arrival by a bite train from the sub
ui bs; at the ether an old man seemed inclined
te dese, and directly oppesito the newest pas
senger sat a plain, modest looking person,
whom a New Yerker would have rightly
identified as a waiter at a restaurant or cafe.
Apparently three persons less qualified or in
clined te criticise personal appearance could
net have been found by careful search; yet
within flve minutes Phil was sure that all of
them had noticed him and studied him. As
he was disinclined te squander another car
fore en his feelings, he sought tbe dusky seclu
sion of the rear platform and engaged the
conductor In conversation, which en Phil's
part consisted solely of questions; yet he was
astonished, an well as Indignant, when the
conductor remarked, at n moment when the
tulk fchew ed signs of lagging:
"You'ie from the rural district, I s'eser'
"What makes oil say that!" asked Phil,
indicating 11 senie of Injury.
"Oh, I ilidu't main nothing out of the way,"
said the conductor. "I only kinder thought
I was sure why, I ceme from the country
myself; yes sir, nn' I ain't ashamed of it,
neither."
The explanation was net satisfactory; te
Phil completed the trip In gloomy silence, aud
he felt a sense of great relief w hen he reached
Sel Mantring's sleep and made bis way intc
the little cabin, where, of the three men lying
at cese, no ene took the pains te Intlmate that
Phil was anything but city born and city
bred.
CHAPTER VL
nEOOH ST RUCTION.
HIL devoted pari
of the next day tc
I study lug well dress
ed business men ic
the streets. Thanki
te well trained per
ceptlve faculties,
nnd also te sem
large mirrer:
which he nccldtn
tally encountered,
be seen learned
why his attire liaii
attracted atten
tlen. Then he compared clothing stores fei
an hour, finally entered one nnd asked lien
long it would take te make a well flitting
every day suit, The salesman looked bin
ever, and replied:
"Kit you at once, from our ready mad
sleck. Never nny trouble te Dt a geed figure.
Phil could hnve bugged that salesman.
Here, at least, was seme one who did net in
timatothatbe was from the country; ant.
yet, jierhaps, a geed figure was a ceuntrj
product. He would think atieut this, as soot
as business was off his mind The salcsmai
certainly fitted him te perfection. PhL
scarcely recognized himself when asked U
leek In the glass.
"Don't tbtulc you could de better," said thi
v cteran salesman, surveying Phil from rap
idly changing points of v lew, "If j ou were t
have J nursclf melted and poured into a suit
The tefte of that goods ii rather cold, but
yeu've plenty of color I think, though, t
set It off te the best odvantage you need tc
change jour black tle for a scarf with
touch of led or yellow in It; if you don't hap
pen te have one, you'll find a flne assortment
In our gents' furnishing department Needi
a somewhat different styloef shirt cellar, tee
let seme furnishing goods man cast his cyt
ever j our neck. Yeu always wear v our hall
pretty long, I supposel Well, It's a pity ii
don't set off a man's clothes as well as it some
times docs his face."
Phil resolved at ence te have his hair cut
Under the guidance of the salesman he hac
bis neck wear changed; then tbe old man said
"These low crowned, straight brimmed
bats ucd te leek exactly right with th
clothes of that season, but somehow the
don't hurinoulze with the cut of this year
Hats tire cheap, though, and there are two 01
three geed dealers en the ether side of tb
street, a little further down. Keep this suit
en, 1 supposel AH right, sir, I'll de up thi
ethers. H'ml" here the old mm scrutinizec
the material of the coat made by Sarat
Tweege "that's splendid stuff Great shami
'twas cut sack fashion. Thcre isn't reuct
stuff as geed as that in swallow tails newa
days."
"Couldn't It I suppose it couldn't be madi
ever Inte a party ceaW"
"H'ml scarcely scarcely," said the sales
man, controlling his features as well as If thi
question nere the most natural In the world.
"Net enough stuff, veu tee, tee short; sleevei
net full enough, button holes In wrong places
lnptls tee narrow Besides, velvet cellan
hav e gene out. Any time you noed a dresi
suit, though, we've get n bes artist who car
cut it se as te de j ou juMIcc, Tisn't often hi
gets a xl figure te spread himself en."
Again Phil was profoundly graceful. H.
wanted te de something for that salesman,
and after seme thought he astonished the ole
fellow by thanking him for his attention and
premising te send blm a barrel of selectea
Newtown pippins. Then be placed himself Ie
the bauds of the boss artist, vv be studied blm
as if he nere a model, measured him, ane
osked him if he needed his dress suit at once.
"Yes, right away," said Phil "1 can't
get it tee seen. Iwnnt" He bad begun
te tell that he meant te dress himself In tha'
suit and practice before a mirror until f ulh
satisfied that he did net leek unlikoethe'i
men. The U artist told him te return la
three days, then tbe old salesman, who had
remained in uttetidame, remarked:
"Yeu bav e a thiu fall overcoat, I suppose)'
"Ob, 1 won't need an ev erceat for a inentt
yet Why, thcre hasn't been a bit of frost
up our way " Phil was already appalled by
the extent of hU order.
"True enough," said the salesman, "but l
doesnt de te go out In a dress suit without
an overcoat, you knew, unless you're merely
stepping from your deer te a carriage; one
it's hardly the tbing even then."
ft, 9 seel bsm
" n.i
Kb.t, these old Judgw, who wear swal
jawjalkday In and day out, can de it; Beth
tag Mu about it, of course only a mattet
tee; but a young fellow don't like U
make himself conspicuous, you knew."
rtkU' nvcklr purchased an overcoat, an!
hurried away with a heavy lead en hU con
science. VMore than three-quarters of lh
hundred dollars hU father had given him wai
already gene or mortgaged; he had meant H
peed none cf It, except for seme thing!
which be knewhli mother craved. Fert
eatery he bad brought tome saving of hi
own, aud, a he informed himself, hair cut
ting wa net an expensive owratlen, and tW
clothing talesman had told him that new hate
did net cost much. He had nothing else te
spend money for except a watch chain; his
father had told him te buy one. Indeed, had
net his father told him te buy clothes f "lets
of them" werethe old gentleman' exact
words. But could his father have known
about evening suits and fall overceatsl
rhil continued in this vein of thought after
he had drepixsd Inte a barber' chair, but wet
startled out of it by finding n lather brush
passing ever his face. Ue struggled and ex
claimed: "I wanted my hair cut."
"Yes, sir, se I heard you say; but when
shaving has te be done tee w e like te have
that out of the vcay first But I beg your
pardon; perhaps you were raising a bcardl'
"Ne," said Phil, settling himself again in
the chair. At Haynten young men shaved
only en Saturday nights; Phil himself had
shaved only three days before, yet here was
another unexpected expense Imposed upon
him by New Yerk custom. Half an hour
afterward he emerged from that shop with
the net entirely satisfactory assurance that
his eldest friend, would uet knew blm at
sight; and when he had bought a new hat
and survoved himself in a long mirror he
was net certain that he would knew himself
If he were te encounter another mirror by
accident The replacement of hi bard rub
ber watch guard by a thiu chum plated with
geld completed the metamorphosis, and a
bootblack whose services he declined set hit
mind at rest by calling him a dude.
What next te de he scarcely knew. An
Inclination te go back te the sleep and see
hew Sel MantrLug was getting along at dis
charging the cargo we suppressed by the
thought of what Sel and the crew would say
it they saw him in his new suit The country
man has some grand qualities that denizens
of cities would de well te imitate, but net all
his moral courage can keep him from feeling
uncomfortable when first he displays himself
hi new clothes te old associates. Country
youths have sometimes run away from home
gene te sea, the city, the devll auywhcrl
rather than undergo this dicadful ordeal
Suddenly it occurred te blm thatbewai
net far from Ti amlay's office; he might make
a caU, if only te show that he could, with
proper facilities, leek unlike a ceuutryman.
Besides, he wanted te knew all about the Iren
business, about which he bed seen se many
contssVllctery assertions in the newspapers.
He entered the store and walked back to
ward the railed counting room In which he
saw the head of Haynten' reccut summer
boarder. A clerk asked htm his buslucss; lit
replied that he had merely dropped In te see
Mr. Tramlay. The head of the establish
ment looked at Phil without recognition
when this Information was imparted, and
advanced with n somewhat impatient nlr,
which suddenly chniiged te cordiality as he
exclaimed:
"Why, my dear fellow I oxcuse me. 1
didn't recognlze jeunt tlrst; no can't nil el
us have young eyes, you knew. Come in;
tit down; make yourself at home. I'm glad
you dropped In; I'm going out te lunch
pretty seen, and I de hate te lunch aloue."
Phil eoem found himself coaxed and assisted
te n high ofllce steel at a desk by the window
and all the morning Kiiei placed before
him, while Tramlay saidi
"Loek at the paper two or tbrce minutes
while I straighten out n muddle in u cus
tomer's letter; then we'll go out"
Phil took up n iapcr; the advertising
page which happened te be the Crst was
very Interesting; novel thclcss Phil's eyes
wandered, for his mind was just then curleut
about the iron trade, He looked around
him for Indications of the business; but the
only bit of Iren (11 sight was n paperweight
en the desk before him. Cleser scrutiny vv at
rewarded by the discovery of a bit of angle
Iren, a few inches long, lylug en a window
tllL In the meantime the proprietor had
scribbled a few hues, asserted seme papers,
and closed his desk by drawing down the
top. Then he seldi
"New let's go In search of poace and com
fort" "I shouldn't think jeu'd hivotelenvo your
ofllce for that," said Phil, who had found the
counting room greatly uulikevvhat he lind
expected.
"There's no peace where business Is going
en," Tramlay replied; "although I don't
knew, after careful thought, of nny noisier
place than a New Yerk 1 tstauraut Here vv e
are. Come in."
Phil found himself in ene of the v cry large
and noisy places where New Yerk business
men herd about noonday Phil protested, In
the usual rural manner, that he was net at
all hungry, but Tramlay ordered se skillfully
that both were duly occupied for nn hour.
Phil found his host attcntiv 0, j et occasionally
absent minded. He might have spared him
self the trouble- of making a mental memo
randum te study out the why and wherefore
of this apparently Incongruous pair of quali
ties bad he known that Tramlay was cudgel
ing bis brain te knew hew te dbpose of his
rural visitor after dinner, without offending.
While they were sipping the ceffee a bovei bevei bovei
age which Phil bad never before tasted injthe
middle of the day Mr. Marge lounged up te
them, looking exactly as Intelligent, listless
and unchangeable as the night before,
"Hew are you, Marge 1" said Tramlay.
Phil afterwerd wondered tliat his host could
tmlle se genially ou se cold a person.
"As usual," replied Marge with a slight In
clination of the head. "Geed morning, Mr.
Hayn. Don't let me Interrupt conversation.
I merely meant te say 1've nothing te de this
afternoon and would be glad te show Mr.
Hayn about town a little, If be likes."
"That's ever se geed of you," said Tram
lay, "for the truth is, I was wonderlug hew
I could find time te de it myself, nnd fearing
I couldn't"
"Entirely at his service," said Marge, as
lifelessly as an automaton.
"And both ceme and dine with me this
evening," suggested Tramlay; "entirely In In
feiraal, you knew."
"I should be delighted," said Marge, In Us
unvarying manner.
Tramlay hurried te his office, aftcr the
briefest of leav e takings, and Marge began te
conduct Phil about New Yerk. Scon, how
ever, there dev olejiod a marked dilfereuce of
tiste between visitor and guide. Marge
wanted te show the jeuug mau the Stock
Exchange, which te the many minds compos
lug n v ery large class has no rival attraction
except the various Institutions en lilackwcllV
Island, Thil exhibited abject Ignerance nnd
iudiffereuce regarding the Stock Exchange,
but wanted te go through the sub-treasury
and assay office two buildings In which
Marge had never been. Marge made n special
trip te show the young man the outside of
Jay Gould's offlce, but Phil identified Trinity
church from pictures he had seen, and wanted
te make a patriotic tour of the tombs of dis
tinguished men of the revolutionary period
Marge offered te Intreduce Phil te ilussell
Sage, but was amazed te learn that the young
man had never beard of that distinguished
individual When, hew ever, Gen. Hancock,
passing by, was casually jolnted out by
Marge, Thll stepped short and stared respect
fully. Marge showed tbe Field building, but
through the trees in front Phil correctly sur
mised ha saw Castle Garden, and deslrcl a
ence te go there and be made acquainted with
the method of receiving nnd distributing im
migrants. On the Produce Exchange they fairly agreed.
Marge admitting tbat in importance it ranked
next te the Stock Kxrhange, while Phil wa
ableteiegard it ss n great business nocoe necoe nocee
sity. Pi ctendlng te search, by Phil's 1 cquest,
for the bull ling in which Washington bade
farewell te lib generals, Marge succeeded In
getting back through Bread street te the
vicinity of the Ktetk Exchange, where he
tried te atene fcr his failure by pointing out
through 11 window the head cf Mr. Henry
Clews; but Phil had no cv cs except for the
statue of Washington, standing, as he knew,
en the situ of the tlrst president's first inua
gural, The two men rxhibited equal interest
en half a dozen turccskiv e oceasieus In "stock
tlckers," which Marge seemed te knew hew te
find In nil torts of places but, while Marge
looked ever the quotations 011 the tax, Phil
studied the machinery of tbe indicator Itself.
The strain upon Marge became almost tee
great for bis self control, and he hrcalbedja
rich of relief when Trlnltv1 clock klruck-
Uiree. Te bare left the vletaltref the Stock
Exchange earlier would tmr have occurred
te him, but promptly en ttw txrektibe hurried
Ilill te an elevated railway station ad up
town te a stable, where he had his home and
wagon brought out aad took Phil for a drive
hi Central park. Probably there he thought
he could be entertained aftcr hi own manner,
for he had the reins. Driving out Fifth
avenue, the two men really became congenial
ter a llttle while, for Phil understood bones,
and Marge's horse was a geed one, and Phil
admired blm and knew et a geed horse that
would match him nicely, aud Marge taw a
prospect of making a team that he could tell
at a Urge profit, and Phil premised te ar
range that Marge should come out and see
the horse.
But even this conversation was broken
when Marge pointed out the late residence
of A. T. Stewart, ter Phil insisted upon
moralizing en riches. In the park he asked
questions about statues, and about trees and
shrubs that were new te him arid equally un
known te Marge, as well as utterly unin
teresting; Phil also wanted a uumber et
facta and figures about the reservoir In the
park, and was with difficulty restrained from
spoiling the drlve by visiting the mcuagerie.
Finally, when he demanded the exact sites of
the various engagements) en Manhattan
Island between tbe British and Washington,
after the latter had been forced te evacuate
what then was New Yerk, Marge abruptly
turned and drove bomeword, confessing
without the faintest show et shame, but
rather with defiance, that he knew absolutely
nothing about these times. And when the
drive ended and the couple separated, the
elder man's face broke from Its customary
calm as he muttered te himself:
"What can Tramlay want of that fellow T

of the guest at the
dinner table that
evening suited all
concerned. Phil sat
at the right of the
host, with Lucia di
rectly opposite,
where her face was
before htm ail the
while. Marge sat
at the right of the
hostess, where he
could closely ob eb ob
serre the young
man from the country, and, net less impor
tant Tramlay's manner toward the younger
guest He could also note the effect et the
young mau and his ways upon Mrs. Tramlay;
for did he uet knew hew te translate every
expression et ber faced It was his own fault
If he did net, for he had been one of her
suitors uearly a quarter of a century before,
and the lady hed nev cr ceased te be mildly
grateful for this compliment, aud te rcposeos
much confldence In him as a loyal wife might
without harm grant an acquaintance who
never had been effensiv 0,
That Mrs. Tramlay wanted Lucia te be
come Mrs. Marge was ene of these confi cenfi confi
denceseot sKken, but nene the less dis
tinctly understood and it had taken all of
Marge's adreltuess te maintain his position
with the family, slnce Lucia's "coming out,"
te avoid being brought te propose, Several
years earlier he had fully intended te make
Lucia his own when she should reach mar
riageable age, and many nnd acceptable bad
been the attentions by which he had endeav
ered te secure the first place In the girl's re
gard. But somehow, as his prospects gradu

young mau made his appearance Lucia was
se agreeably surprised that what had seemed

The evening seen opened promisingly for
Marge, for Phil took soup a second time a
proceeding which intlicted upon Mrs. Tram

table. But Lucia rapidly recovered; des
perate case required desperate remedies; te
she saidi
"Phil, de you remember that dinner you

"Indeed I de," said Phil "I never shall

leek of horror when he brought from the
fire a piece of beard piled high with roasted
clams had been ene of the few great mental
dampers of his life.
"Yeu made us forks from dried twigs,"
eald Lucia. "I Lppt mlne as a memento; it
is hanging ever my mantel uew, with a bow
of blue ribtien around It"
Marge frowned perceptibly; Mrs. Tram

"Edgarl" gased .Mis. Tram'ay. It did
net reach him, though the lock that accom accem
jinnled it jiassed in Its full force from the feet
of the table te the head.
"Why, Suudayl-' said Phil, with seme hesi

"Quite ti ue," said the host "It Is In the

"Yes," said Tramlay; "w e're as geed Phari

"And after that dinner In the weeds," con
tinued Lucia, "we went for pond lilies, don't

Again Marge's brews gathered jerccptlbly.
"He merclv drew her aside from a muddy

"Well, this is l!itereuiug,"sald Tramlay, at
the etl r end et the table. "Hayn, are there

"Lucia," said her mother severely, "you

"Her father's own child," said Trnmlny.
"She forgets everything but tha subject be

"I saw some couples out canoeing at Mount

"Net bad," assented Marge.
"But I'd have get somethlng If I'd suc

"I'd have get a ducking."
Then evr ybedy laughed, everybody but
Mrs. Tramlay, who intimated te Marge that
Lucia was simply being ruined by her fa
ther's indulgence.
' The dinner ended, the host and Marge ro re
tlred te the library te smoke. Phil was In
vited te accompany them, but Lucia ex
claimed: I "Phil has bceu tee well brought up te have
such bad habits. Ue 1 going te keep me
from feeling stupid, as ladles always de
while gentlemen smeke after dinner."
) , She took Phil's arm and led him te the
drawing room, where the young man seen
showed signs of being mere interested In
the pictures en the wall than in the girl by
hlssida.
"These are very different from the pictures
you used te see in our llttle parlor In Hayn Hayn
eon," said PhIL "Different from any in our
town, in fact"
"Are they!" said Lucia. "But you might
be loyal te home, and Insist that yours were
unlike any In New Yerk; because they were,
you knew,"
"I didn't suppose they were anything un
usual," said Phil, quite innocently.
"Oh, they were, though," insisted Lucia,
with much earnestness. "I'm sure you couldn't
find ene et them in any parlor In New Yerk.
Let me see; I de bcllove I could name them
all if I were te clese iny1 eyes n moment
There was 'Gen. Tayler at the Battle et Buciia
Vista,' 'The Destruction of Jerusalem,' the
'Declaration of Independence,' 'Napeleon's
Tomb at St Helena,' 'Heck et Age,' 'Guorge
Washington,' Teale' 'Court of Death,'
'Abraham Lincoln aud His Family' and
'Hum's Deadly Upas Tree.' There 1"
"Your memory is rcmarknhle," said Phil.
"I didn't suppose nny ene had even noticed
our picture at all; for I'm sure they are old
fashioned."
"Old fashioned things why, they're all the
fashion new, don't you knew!" said Lucia,
with a pretty laugh.
Phil did uet reply, for he was qulte over
powered by what seemed te him the elegauce
of tbe Tramlay pictures. Ue could easily see
that the engravings were superior in quality
te these te which he was accustomed; he was
most profoundly impressed by the paintings
real oil paintings, signed by artists soma of
whose names be had seen in art lev laws In
New Yerk papers. He studied them closely,
ene after another, with the earnestness of the
person whose tastes are in advance of his op ep op
jiertuultlcs; In his interest he was almost for
getful of Lucia's presence. But the young
wemun did net Intend te be forgotten, se she
found something te say about each picture
ever which Phil lingered.
Among the paintings was ene which had
been seen, in the original or replicas, in al
most all the picture auctions vv hich were fre
quently held in the New Yerk buelnrss dis
trict for ife purpme of flecrlar men whfl
have mere money titan taste. Sometimes
the artist's name is German, of teller Fi eucb,
and occasionally Italian; the figures and
background also differ from time te time as
te the nationality, nnd the picture Is varia
bly named "The Parting," "Uoed-Ily," "Auf
Wledcrsehen," "Geed Night" or "Adieu,"
but the canvases all resemble ane another In
display Ing a young mnn respectfully kissing
the hand of a young woman. TheTramlays'
copy of this auctioneer's standby was called
"Adieu," the name being lettered In black en
the margin et the froine.
"Why," exclaimed Phil, with the air of a
man in the act et making a discovery, "I am
sure I have seen a weed engraving et that
painting hi ene of the Illustrated pujiers."
"I don't seu why they should de It," said
Lucia; "it's dreadfully old fashioned. Peo
ple don't say 'adieu' In that way nowadays
except en the stage."
"I thought you said a moment age that
old fashioned things weie all the fashion."
Lucia shrugged her shoulders nud seldi
"Kissing bands may ceme In again." Then
she raised oneof her own little hands Blightly
and looked at It Phil's eyes followed hers,
and then the young man became conscious
of a wish that the old form et salutation
might fe revived, en special occasions at
least 'Tbe thought succeeded that such a
wish was net entirely proper, and while he
reasoned about it Lucia caught hlsoye and
compelled him te blush an act which the
young woman perhaps thought pretty, for
rbe immediately imitated it, the imitation
being much mere graceful and effcctlve
thau the original 'I lie situation was awk
ward, ami Phil Instantly lest his relf posses pesses posses
eieu; but net se Lucia.
"Here," she said, turning se as te fuce the
wall opjiesito that en which the mlschltf
making picture hung, "is papa's favorite
picture He thinks every thing et it; but I
say It's simply dreadful."
It certainly was. The center of the enm as,
which was enormous, was filled with several
columns and a portion of the entablature of
a ruined ureek tcinple.
"It is as large as all tha ether pictures com
bined, you see; all the lines In it are straight,
and there Isn't anywhere In it a dress, or a
bit of furniture, or even brlo-a-brec"
l'hll Imagined his host must btve seen ether
qualities than these named by Lucia, and he
seated himself en a sofa te study the picture
iu detail Lucia also sat down, and con
tinued! "There Is color In It, te be sure; bits of the
columns w here the light is most subdued nre
as lovely aa as a real Turkish rug."
Much though Phil had endeavored te keep
himself in communication and sy inpatby with
the stronger sentiments of the world euUide
of Haynten, he had never realized even the
outer edge of the mystcriiu and ecstasies of 4
adoration et old rugs. Be Lucia's compari
son started him Inte laughter. The girl seemed
surprised and offended, and Phil immediately
tumbled into the extreme depths et con
trition. "I beg your pardon," he murmured, quick
ly. "It was all Uxuuse of my Ignorance. We
haven't any Turkish rugs at Haynten, nor
any ether rugs, except thet j we lay en floors
and use very much us If tfey were carpets.
I ought te have known better, though; for I
remember that In teiteni stories, where the
rare iieeksier.s of erli-ntal kings ud chiefs
are siiekcii of, rugs are always classed with
jewels ami silks und ether heviiitiful things. '
l'ieasw lergiv e me."
Half In earnest, half pretending, Lucia
continued te apjxui offended Phil related
his confussieu, and enlarged his explanation.
In hU earnestness he leaned toward her;
Lucia dropped her head n llttle. Marge, who
had flubbed his cigar, entered ths parlor at
that instant aud r.ibed his ucbrQws-.a me
tien mera significant in a man of Ids tempera
ment than a tragic start would have been te
ordinary flesh ami bleed Lucia started and
showed signs et embarrassment when the
could he longer Ignore his presence; Phil
merely looked up, without seeming at all dis
composed. "I think, my dear," said Tramlay te his
wUV, who bad been turning the backs of a
magazine, "that I'll take our friend around
te tlie club with me for half nn hour, Just te
bow him hew city men squander their time
nnd keep nwny from their families I won't
be long gene."
"Oh, ivit right after dinner! Wo've
scarcely seen Phil yet, te nk him nny ques
tions" "Plcuty et tlme for thit," the merchant
replied. "We'll see him often; eh, Hay-uP
"I shall Inj delighted," raid Thil
"Supjiose you drop him at my club en
ieurwiiy homel" suggested Marge. "I shall
be thcre."
"Geedl thanks; very kind of you. He'll
sea seme men nearer lil-s own ngc; nit our
members are middle aged nnd stupid."
"I think it's real mean of you both," said
Lucia, with n pretty pout.
Phil looked n If he thought se tee. At
Haynten It was the custom, when ene went
out te dinner or supper, which was the
evenlug meal te speud the ev ruing with the
entertainer. But objection scorned out of
place; the merchant hnd goue for his hat and
coat, and Mnrge made his adieus nnd was
donning hi overcoat at the mirror In the
hall.
"I'm very sorry te go," said Phil te Lucia,
His eyes wandered about the room, as If te
tnka n distinct picture of it with htm; they
finally rested en the picture of "The Adieu."
"Yeu shall take my forgiveness with you,"
said the girl, "if you will solemnly premise
never, never te laugh at me again."
"I never will," said Phil, seUmnly; then
Lucia laughed ami offered htm her hand.
Perhaps It was liecnuse Phil had juvt 1 emev ed
his eyes from "1 he Adieu" mid was himself
about te say geed-by, that he raised the llttle
hand te his lip. Fortunately for her own
Hace of mind, Mrs. Tramlay did net see tbe
act, for she had stepicd into the library te
speak te her husband; Marge, hewuvcr, Vfas
amazed at hat he saw In the mirror, nnd, a
second or two later, nt Phil's entire compos
ure. Lucia's manner, however, puzzled blm;
for she seemed somewhat disconcerted, nnd
her complexion had suddenly beceme mera
brilliant than usual.

At last he was In New Yerk; his tlme
would be limited only by the cxeiise of re
maining nt hotel or beurdiiig house Yet he
found himself uttei ly without linimh te fol fel
low any of lilt carefully perfected plans. He
strolled afeut 11 gnat deal, but In an utterly
eimltvs way, lie liaised public buildings
w lilch he knew by sight as niueug thote he
had Intended te Ihh-hm:!, but he did net even
enter their doers; the great libraries III which
for jceis he hnd IiejkiI te quench the literary
thirst that had been llttle mere than tanta
lized by tlie collective hooks in Haynten were
regarded with Iniiwitlcncc. Of all he saw
while rumbling nbetit aloue, nothing really
llxed his attention but the contents of shop
w indew s. He could net pam a clothing store
without wondering it seme of the goods he
saw nflhiii would net beceme blm better
than what he was vveiu lug; he spent hours in
looking nt displays of dress goods and linag-
liilng lieiv 0110 or ether' pattern or fabrle
would leek oil Lucia; unit liowiusled many
hours mere in day ill cams of purchasing
only for her the bits of Jewelry nnd ethor
ornaments with which seme windows were
filled.
Loneliness inci cased the wiukenlitg effect
of his imaginings. He knew nlseIiitely no
ene in the city but the Tinml tys nud Murge,
and he had ter) much seine te Iiiikm) himself
upon them; hostile, Marge nl teiribly un

study of human nature mateilul (luitwas

Insisting upon occupy ing his vvhole attention.

Miiiitriug und the crew of the sloe;). The In
ter view wiu net entirely satisfactory, and
Phil cut his visit shot (.departing wlthn brew
full of wi Inkles nnd n heart full of wonder
and Indlgnal Ien at the jierbUtency with which
Bel aud both his men talked of Lucia Tiam
lay und the regard In which they assumed
Phil held her. Hew should they imagine
such a thing? Ue well knew nnd detested
the rural rage for pryh'R Inte the affairs of
people, jurtieularly young men nud women
wbesiviued nt oil fend of ene another; but
vv hat had he ever ilone or said te make these
rough fellows think Lucia was te him any
thing but 11 boarder iu his father's houtel As
he wondered, there came te his mind a line
which he had often -a!nfully followed In his
copy book at school; "Iho facoef youth is an
0X"ii Ijoek." It did net tend nt all le restore
composure te his own fnce.
Heur by hour he found hlmsr-lf worse com
pany. He had nev er before made such n dis
covery. Thcre had been hundreds nud thou
sands of days In lib llfe when from dnvvn te
dark he hint been ntone en the form, In the
weeds or In his flvhlng font, several miles off
shore en the ocean, vet the companionship of
his thoughts had been tntisfocteiy. He had
sung and whistled by the hour, recited te
himself favorite bits of ixjctiy and prese, re
hearsal old stories and jokes, and enjoyed
himself se well tliat sometimes he was an
noyed rather than pleased when an acquaint
ance would npj ar and Insist 011 diverting
hU attention te some trivial iierseual or busi
ness alTulr. Why could he net ehur himself
new he who always had been the llfe and
cheer bf whatever society he found himself
In!
He tried le chunge the current of his
thoughts by looking at ether jicople; but the
result was dismal In the uxtirme. He loung
ed about Broadway, strolled In Central park,
vvulkeddewu Fifth avenue, aud from most
that he saw he assumed thnt everybody who
was having u pleasant tlme, driving line
horses, or living In a handsotue house, was
rich. He bad lwcu carefully trained Iu the
belief that "a man's llfe censisteth net In the
abundance of thu things w licit heittsiciscth,"
but hU observation of New Yerk were
severely straining his faith He was entirely
orthodox In lih fellcf a te the prima source
of rlches, but he suddenly became conscious
of an unhappy, 'icrtlstrnt questioning as te
w by he nbe had net been born rich, or had
riches thrust tien him. Ue understood new
the mad stilfe for wealth which he had often
heard alluded te as the prevailing sin of large
cltiui; be wished he knew hew te strlve for
it hlmself anywhere, In uny way, If euly
he might nlways be ene of the thousand et
jioepio who seemed te wear new clothes oil
the time, and spend their evenings hi elegant
society, or In the gorgeous seclusleu of pal
aces like that occupied by Marge' club.
Fer Instunce, there was Marge. Phil had
asked Tramlay wliut business Marge was in,
mid the reply was, "None in jwrtlcular ; lives
en his iuteiue." What, asked Phil of him
self, was the reason that such n man, who
did net seem much interested iu anything,
should have plcuty of money und nothing te
de, wleua certain ether .rseii who could
keenly enjoy, and, he believed, honeitly im
prove, allot Miirge's privileges, should have
been deemed te sjicud tils lifeln hard endeav
or te wrest the plaliiestjfoed from the jealous
