CHAPTER XV-(Contlnued)
"You're almost as liberal ns Sledge,"
complimented fern. "I wouldn't give
up thnt spangle Inn for worlds What do
you suppose la keeping Bert, Molly?"
"He's probably 'slew,' to uue the Sledge
dictionary," responded Molly calmly.
"Does that mean the same as Jagged?"
"Splffllcated," ejaculated Molly. "Don't
look so shocked, Fern. Bert Isn't In the
habit of It. Any of the boys will tell jou
that he'o so sober ho breaks up moat of
their parties."
"Then why did he show oft tonight?
"I believe they call it drowning their
Borrows," explained Molly quietly. "Ho
K lost everytning tooay muuey, uuou.os,
If prospects. Sledge broko him."
"Poor Bert!" eympatiuzeci cue naim
hearted Fern. "Why. that putty-faced
old thief 1 Molly! Ho did it on your-
accountt Isn't ho clover! How on earth
did he work it?"
"Had Bert tie up all his money. In
cluding some ho borrowed. In property
Sledge depreciated In value, then Sledge
had the batik call the loan Bert can t
pay, and the bank seizes the property.
Moreover, nobody will Invest In Bert's en
terprises since they know that Sledge Is
ogalnBt him."
"I don't blame him for getting what
does Sledge call it?"
"Slewed."
"Do you?"
"He'll probably feel sorry for it tomor
row," evaded Molly. "A man's conscience
usually hurts him when he can't eat."
They had nearcd the house, and now a.
Blender figure in black came rapidly to
ward them.
"Is that you, Molly?" Inquired the anx
ious voice of Frank Merlcy.
"It Is your fair daughter," she lightly
assured him.
"They are missing iou," he declared.
with all the responsibility of a successful
showman. "The Governor and his wife,
Senator Allerton, the Mayor and a dozen
others have been Inquiring about ou.
Tou are this year's prize beauty," and he
laughed proudly.
Embarrassed by the display he nppar-
.enUjWvlshed to make of her, Molly fol
lowed, him into the maze of gorgeous
drawln? rooms, where the aristocracy of
Illnc County and the State displayed Its
evening clothes In constantly shifting
array. The Mayor himself, a keen-eyed young
man, with a pretcrnaturally bald head
and a reputation which followed hlm
about like n black cat, came hurrying
up to her with her danco program In his
Mr with a professional lady killer smirk.
IvP wrti nitt Vim lnTii(tiiial Via tin 1 1 r nt 1I I fr Vila
name and handed to Fern as a penance
for all her misdeeds
"They're already forming for the grand
march," the Mayor Informed her, as he
led the way to the big ballroom vtlth the
magnificent pipe organ, which Molly had
coveted for a year.
The line was half formed, and the
parade nas tilling rapidly and with much
laughing confusion as the Major hurried
with her down toward the centre of the
hall, where the Governor already flood
wlthr his lady.
"Where is our place'" asked Moil,
figuring rapidly. There was a State Sen
ator, a world-famous sociologist, a
musician of international reputation and
three State Representatives. The Maor
probably. would be about number eight.
"Oh, I'm not youi partner," he re
trretted, "I'm not so luck). I don't even
get to dance with jou until number
eight," and to Molly's breathless delight,
he led her straight up to the eminent
sociologist, who stood immediately be
hind the Governor
The eminent sociologist, who. under thnt
title, had tounded so forbidding, proved
to ba a oung-looklnK man, with a danc
ing eye, who hailed her with Joy, and
unspokenly rlainied attertlon solely on
his merits ns a "live member."
She found It difficult, as he smiled to
frankly and boyishl nt her, to remember
that this was a man whose nam was
known throughout the civilized world for
his keen thought upon political economy
in. Its broadest sense, and the astounding
part of t was that he was so guod-lonk-lag,
graceful and self-possessed, and,
most astonishing of atl, that he Imme
diately tjesan to talk to her about base
ball. The equally eminent musician. Just be
hind hlm. claimed Professor Watt's at
tention for a moment, and Molly glanced

Just behind her, looking hot daggers Inlc
ner shoulder-blades, nnd Molly, suppress
ing a ulgglo ns she noted the purple con
dolence ribbons nailed on with furniture
tackg, gared mlmly throtifth her nt the
other social Lucrezla IJorgias, whom she
had passed nt one ruthless bound
Also, she cast her oyos downward, with
much satisfaction, at her own extrava
gantly simple frock of pearl-woven white
chiffon. Only youth and a good figure
could dare a frock like that, and happy
In her new enemies, Molly glanced at the
danco program which had been made out
for her
She caught Iter breath with Incredulous
Joy as shn saw her allotment Every
notable In the gathering was on her card,
I (ginning with the Governor Number
fine was Sledge, and she wondered, with
dawning horror, what sort of figure, he
Would be In the dance
She hnd little time for reflection, for
the music stnrlcd up Just then, nnd at
the same moment the eminent sociologist
beirnii to talk to her about a new roller
master Installed last season at Coney
island anil his pain In never having had
n ride on It
Professor Watt danced without knowing
II nnd talked without effort, and laughed
without deliberation, and when he led her
Into the drawing-room, sho was offering a
silent voir of thanks to tho inakei of
her progiam Maor Cameron, however,
gave her no chance to enjoy the scien
tist He rushed up with a visiting mil
lionaire. Introduced him and dragged
away Professor Watt, Ml with the celer
ity of n switch engine
The visiting millionaire was a grny
halred sport, with a white mustache,
but a ruddv face, who know more nhout
lead ore than any man In the world,
knew more about tiionev than he did
about lead ore, and know more about
making himself ngreenble to oung gills
man lie aid about making money A
couplo of native millionaires tried to
attach themselves to the partv, but tho
outsider drove, them Jealously awav, nnd
dashed straight along with tho line of
entertainment which had mido him a
welcome Isltor wherever rice powder wa3
known
Molly was truly sorrv to see him go, but
tho Governor, a finely groomed, elderly
chap, whoso fundamental brogue was
Irish, whoso manners wero Southern, nnd
whose mustache and goatco were French,
led her nway for tho next dance, and
breathed harmless, old-fashioned flatteries
Into her ear until It tickled It was all
ery Interesting, and n triumph for her,
too; but, nevertheless, sho wa.s pleased
when her sudden friend, the Mnjor. took
her away from tho Governor, nnd for her
betwcen-dancodlvcrslon made her a pres
ent of nn Intent-fentured oung man who
ran an inherited railroad to make money,
and ran It quite well enough, but who
raced jachts foi n living.
Thus sped tho evening, with Molly
(.limbing tho dizzy heights of popularity
In hourly increasing excitement. She not
only had a notablo partner for every
dance, but a brilliant partner for every
tete-a-tete between numbers, nnd the al
most equally happy, though not so highly
favored. Fern warned her, In a giggling,
whlspcied moment, to keep her back to
the wall, lest sho be stabbed. Her cup of
happiness was full when the famous mu
sician, a near-sighted man. who wore his
hair short, and Inspected her rapturously
through half-lnch-thlck glasses, composed
a sparkling rondo for her at a piano In
a quiet little alcove, anil named It Molly,
and wrote It on her dance card, all In tho
space of seven minutes Tiue, he had
danced with her two numbers before, and
had had time to think of her, possibly
to think of her In rondo term'
OcL.i8ion.illv she caught sight of Sledge
in the throng, although she had not seen
hlm on the door, and she tcallzcd that
hei number with him would be a "sit out "
Pel haps that was why It had been put
down so far In tho progiam, when she
would welcome a rcRt It was like ids
doing, for sho had to acknowledge that
he was at least far-sighted.
One thing perplexed her: lie was much
less awkwaid and much more at case here
than he had been at tier party.
Whenever sho saw him ho w,ia talking
gravely with men of large affairs, and
to her surpilsc, sho observed that, in
ever case, ho was accorded notable re
spect Kvcn the musician seemed ab
sorbedly Interested In lilin, and her lead
ore millionaire came back to him again
and again Sho wondered vvh men
sought hlm, and she was still wonder
ing when the eminent sociologist lairly
pnatched her out of the arni3 of the
Mavor, after the eighth dance.
'Come and watch me smoke a ciga
rette," he begged her "I've been trying
to get a chanco to talk with you again
the entire ovenlng, but there'B nlwavs
such nn Increasingly mad scramble
around ou that the attempts made mo
feel undignified."
"You'd worry a lot about that," she
guessed
"Wouldn't I'" he laughed "Will you
chill If wo step out on the terrace'"
"I don't know how," she happily told
him, and they hurried outside, where he
led her to a teal in the moonlight, and
deftly made her comfortable with three
cushions, from ns many chairs.
Sledge and Senator Allerton passed
them as he lighted his cigarette, and he
looked after Sledge until the match
burned his Angers
"There is tho biggest man I have seen
In a long while," he remarked, as he sat
beside her on the settee.
"They say ho Is not only the boss of
the clly, but of the State," replied Molly,
very much Interested "You knew that,
didn't jou?"
"Of course," he acknowledged, "but I
scarcely think that would Influence my
Judgment. I have studied a great many
men of more power and Influence than
ha has at present, but none of them, so
far as I can recollect, seemed to havo his

country and he would be king."
"I don't understand It," puzzled Molly.
"He Is undoubtedly n leader hero, but
they say that he Is n bad leader."
"A grafter'" queried Professor Watt,
with a smile "That Is the accident of
his cnvlionment, nnd of vour unsettled
social conditions Pardon mc, but, In
cities such ns ours, there Is hut little
clso for n lender to do TJio men who
occupy the t olitlcnl ofllccs of high honor
ore, for the most part, puppets Your
society Is neither large enough nor small
enough, and Is composed of Intensely
complex elements People of the most
sordid birth nnd attainments rub elbows
with people of breeding ami culture, nnd
there seems to bo no dividing line In
such a conglomerate condition, tho man
of elemental forLC, being bound to rlso
to the top, must use his materials as ho
finds them, and to his own ends. Just nn
the musician, the artist, the sculptor, the
writer do: Just ns I do, and, within jour
more limited sphere, pardon mo for say
ing it. Just as ou do "
"I?" sho nsked, opening and closing her
fan, and glancing out to where chatting
couples wero sauntering.
After nil, Professor Watt was an emi
nent sociologist
"Certainly," the professor resumed
"You tako Into vour consideration, with
such thouRhlfulncss concerning them ns

bearing upon vour future, and from them

"Well, jou having a good time?" asked
Sledge, sitting comfortably In the scat,

"Tho time of my life," she assured hlm,
with happy animation
"That's the word," ho heartily approved
"If there's nnjbody hero you want Just
tell Cameron If ho don't trot 'cm right
over, tell me."
"Tho mayor has been very kind,"
acknowledged Molly, beginning to won
der. "He's got his orders." returned Sledge
complacently. "Let me seo jour dance

of humiliation slowly to chill her soul
