It was easier te U about what he did knew than what If didn't. Mary had u leeung mai le knew se much. ' Tewaril the end of his iirst icasen litre dirftcd into the room, rnthcr as if i draft had blown him there, a little eldish gentleman with a mass of books wder his nrm. This gentleman was introduced by Mary as "Papa." Her rclce was tender, just touched by the seftneu of a brogue, en the "papa." He made no difficulty of the pupil's ume. In fact, te these odd syllables it te every tillable he spoke, he gave Jewel-like cutting, quite beautifully it te Western cars. Q. T. found 3! WnueK fascinated by Mary's father.

He had a sharp, tar. neinted nose, reddened nt the md; he had lips clever, sensitive, hurl. ifth quiet little humor pockets nt their trooping comers; he had benutlful rliientry eyes rimmed with red nnd entimiillv watering; his white thick TfiBtiir sprang back like a crest triumphant ever bis downfall. Jt was ey way 01 Wai his panache. And his fine little m body was thaken and rickety nnd Irtekety, but were its shabby clothes 'itltt beautifully with an nir. "Say," Q. T. remarked after the mall fentlemnn had excused himself, tenderly te Mary, whimsically te Kin tidden, and had left the room. "Your Pi he aure favors that curly feller nt Grinecoerabc Manners" it was a long lime before Q.

There is this advantage in having known a few men and women In a very raw Intimacy, ene knows the bones of all men nnd women. Prejudlce sits like a distorting 'ens across the nose of Mr. "Worldly Wiseman. He sees this button nnd that stripe, this arrangement of feature nnd that decoration, but the bones of humanity arc for the most part non existent for him. Q. T. sat nnd sipped his tea and his eyes contemplated as through scrne miles of clarity Miss Selda Grlnscoembe's bones. And they Were tllC first even tn tnlrn rntrntrnn nt that secret waver that was hers. ., Besides the sensation of shock, Miss Selda had a further sensation of release. She found herself rather mere loqua cious than was her habit. She was free te Indulge without caution, nn she fre quently rather carefully Indulged, a delicate impulse of cruelty. This young man who did net belong te her world, who could never belong te It, and yet for whom with n very definite purpose she hnd negligently let down the bars that kept such young men in their hcavcn-erdalned place, was fair game for her experiments. Slnves that buried treasure nnd were effectually silenced by death must have been ns welcome an audience te the unbending humors of their tyrant. Q was te be allowed acquaintance with the treasure of Grins Grins Grins ceombe nnd the end of his experience was te be the death of his hope and his ambition this Miss Selda knew, she considered it n wholesome iessen for the man. She found him, In the meantime, therefore, amuBing and Ilk nble company. She hoped te see a great deal of him. She told him se. "I think," she said, "we shall enjoy our conversations, Mr. Kinwydden." She spoke delicately and carefully as though she were picking her way along n dirty path en stones of impeccable purity. "And I think you will enjev meeting my niece's friends. Yeu did enjoy them this afternoon ?" Enter the Miss Grinscoembe When O hnd nrrlveil. tlinrn lin.l ln. half n dozen of Lele'n friends nnd he had met tneiu and listened te them and watched them, he had answered pa tiently their questions and hnd been somewhat startled by their intense amusement ever his own rare comments. "Yes, ma'am," he said, nnd added with a queer irenic flash, "net one half se much as they're ageln' te enjoy me." "Really?" Miss Selda indulged her self in the smile of Sir Sydney Grinscoembe. "Yes, mn'am. I'm biire ageln' te get paid for all the times I've laughed te myself ever the plum foolish ways of Eastern folks with bosses nnd in camp and en the trail, get behind sagebrush and willow clumps ami laughed myself loco. New it's their turn." "And you'll find, my peer boy, that they won't get behind anything te de their langhing. This generation Is net sensitive for itself or for its victims." When she cnlled him a "peer boy," Q blinked and Inwardly he was seized by an intense desire te laugh. This old lady was pitying him! Pitying him Q! Aloud he said inexpressively, "Ain't thnt the truth new"' nnd his face was a gentle mask. "The average New Yerk debutante." pursued inflexibly the "old lady" who had been unwise enough te pity Q, "is a little vulgarian. I.ele is net. That is the difference, which you, no doubt, are experienced enough te observe. I have given her n cosmopolitan educa tion. She has been presented in mere than one European court" (through the mind of the listener flashed a picture of some unlmaglnnbly stately ceremony net unlike a heathen sacrifice). "She Is fitted te be the companion of states men, men of the great world. She has tasted such companionship. 1 nm se glad" here Miss Selda extended her palm, her gesture of friendliness, in a light upward movement "I nm se glad, my dear Mr. Q" her ryes gleamed at the queemess of her name for him "that you have arrived nt just this juncture. I.ele Is bored. And when one of us is bored " She lifted eyes and hands te let them fall. "The variety of mischief and danger the Grinscoembe impatience of boredom can drive them te!" "She ain't afraid of any danger thcre might be in her loekln' In my direc tion," was th" cowboy's shrewd inner Tii'Mjiient : aloud he said, "Is that se?" ' it ,.... ... ,..,,. ullll illusion iiinui rer the Orliiscoenibc fashion of escap ing boredom. Miss Selda looked at him, suddenly aware that she had been vastly mere communicative than her visitor. "What de you and I.ele find te talk about.' she said. Q set down his empty cup ana rose. He was aware et a gieat weariness, a great desire for solitude. "I reckon you'd say we talk about one of the "best ways of net gettln' bored, ma'am, he said , nml udded, nicotinic hur grav staie with n steely inteiitness, "I'll be gein' new and thank jeu kindly." Their eyes remained for an instant fixed it was like the crossing of blades -and just for that instant there was a curious icsemblance between Miss Grinscoembe and her guest. The interview lei't Q smarting, rest less, mid excited. That night he could net sleep. lie nit at hi window, listening le the grinding intermittent passage of the trelle.v cars, the occa sional hum of a meter, the laughter of town leveis and the clapping of feet. The coarse hue curtain sucked in ami out behind his head. Heur by hour he sat there, immobile ns a savage, except, nt Hlim.u ilijthmic intervals, for the rolling and lighting of a cigarette. In the corner saloon a Victer sang and laughed and screamed dance music like a lunatic until, seen after mid night, a hand was clapped ncress Its mouth. Gradually the town yielded lis hearse small clamors te the silence of night. There were some roistering farewells in front of the saloon, nn- steady footsteps. (J thought that under his window u girl's voice spoke with surprising gentleness, just one word softly. A little tender touch of brogue reminded him of his small schoeliiinrm. He had a strong Impulse of gratitude toward Maiy (irtuscoemb who of 'the three Grinscoembes he had met, had been the only one te leek at him, woman te man an impulse that turned Inte a longing for her help. It was almost the first time In his hard and lonely life that such an Impulse had been born iu him. Miss Heldn's face had become a Sphinx In his path. What was there iu her mind against him? "She likes me," he thought. mil sue cnoeses te maise mc winch.' "She likes me, but she means me te savvy semethln' semethln' that'll leave me with a scar. Ged! I'll hev te fight I her." His fist en the windewslll tightened until his arm was Iren te the shoulder. 'Tight her and fight the notion that's In her mind and that's In her gel's mind tee.
