Burton, whoso "lYJTn icon dead four man, has twnti hit entire life totoara ms oxm- ntss affain. OnAPTEU IV ttNFORTUNATELY, Ruth MndJox U had left behind her a family. This family still dung to Granville Burton as omening peculiarly their own becnuso "S . Jrringo to Huth. The first year V Bulb's death they all vied With tach other In keeping her memory fresh .the heart of her husband. Old Mrs. Mkddox eyed every attractive debutante with an eaglo eye. Ituth's sister, Mrs. Orrillelng, a pretty, blonde woman, older than Butt, kept her brtucr-in-law in tow as much ns possible. Now the family wanted him to marry auain, but they wanted the bride to be n girl of their own choosing. If Burton had been a different type of man ho would have resented the interference o his wife's family. As it was. it bothered Mm So more than if it had not existed. Vopowcr on earth could ever make him H a thing he did not want to do, and Granville Burton had no particular wish to marry. Mrs. Orvillo kong was planning a dinner party. Groomed carefully for the street F she descended to her I mou sine bound on a personal expedition to 'brother-in-law's office. The din ner party was to mcludo somo impor tant people, and among them was the cirl that the Maddox family had chosen for Hutu's successor, bho was n sweet little thing, a debutante of two seasons, and could be easily managed by the Maddo family. Her own family tree t.- -a tmf slio had no money, bho would look up to Burton with adoration- and uwe and wouia ooey uuiiutaiiuuauiji the mandate of the family who had opened their arms to tako her in. Mrs. Long swept by Miss Rhodes with a gracious nod and opened tho door of the inner office. "Hello, Gran," she said breezily, and took a chair by the side of his desk the very same chair in which Laurel Stone had sat a few days before. "Hello, Ilarrlet!" he returned, smil ing that brilliant, cold smilo of his. "To what am I indebted for this carlyall?" he went on. She sighed and loosened the sables around her throat. "You're so Inac cessible, Gran, It's so hard to see you these days. You lock yourself up in these business conferences of yours. Oh, I know peoplo all call you a king of finance and everything that goes with it but no ono over sees anything of you. Gran, you need a wife ; you ought to marry again." Harriet Long launched her bomb and tat back to watch its effect. Burton laughed again. "I suppose A.K.N BUTTER Quality fa the watchword where A. K. N. Batter fa made. It is sold by Quality Dealers.

Marian Worth wns a 'nice llttlo thing, slmplo and practical. but not overburdened with gray matter. Hhe had cherished a 6ccrct admiration for Granvillo Burton for a long time, as had nearly every girl in her bet. Tho prospect of a dinner party nt which he was to bo a guest and the knowledge that sho was looked upon approvingly bv Mrs. Orvillo Long filled the nirl with you have her all selected for mo and .happiness. - , you'vo come down to tell mo that you ' Hurton looked thoughtful after Har- aro arranging a dinner pnrty and you rict had left. He wondered if it weren't wane mo to como and to treat ncr nice- truo that tno cmiuren nectieu n mother, ly, , ITarrict gasped, but she was game. "Well, will you?" she shot out sud denly. "Who is she?" "Marian Worth." "That child I" "She's been out two seasons! and she's sensible. Dulcio and Grace need n mother. Gran; you'ro not being fair to them." "They're, all right. Mrs. Burke is competent." Harriet shrugged her bhoulders. "She's competent enough, but sho'a not their mother. Will jou bo nice, Gran, and como to my dinner?" "Yes, Hnrrict, I'll come, but I'm not going to ba married oft to Marian Worth. Don't get any foolish ideas in that head of yours." Ilarrlet laughed. Sho was satisfied. He was coming und that was n great deal. AVbcn Bhe left the office she was in a very good humor. When she met Marian Worth for lunch sho brought the quick blushes to the girl's faco by lit was tho first time that ho hns ever glvcu n serious thought to marrying ngalu, but if ho did marry Ire had no intention ol making shallow little Mar ion Worth his wlfa, a girl who flushed and stammered when ho spoko to her. Tho burbling laughter of tho girls in tho younger set bored him ; the obvious angling of tho older women disgusted him. If ho married any ono he wanted a real woman, n woman with a head on her shoulders, n woman who had not been born to wealth, who had an inde pendent mind and thought for herself. Thero need bo no question of sentiment. If sho married him he would give her tho. material things that money could buy in return for what sho could do for his children. Yes, Harriet had been right; ho had burled himself too much in his business when tho children should bo his chief consideration. A woman with nononsenso in her bond,) who would tako chnrgc of his homo, a sensi ble woman, like ho thought a minute, and the memory of a tall, shabby girl flashed Into his mind, n girl with amaz ingly bluo eyes, liko that newspaper woman who had Interviewed him, Mis3 Miss Stono 1 That was it.
