"Yes."

...V.T5U?' De reu eT th'nk about
It?" Jehnsen asked, with a Jerk of the
thumb toward the room once occupied
by Sllaa Bancroft.
"Yes," said Bancroft, his expression
serious. "By the way, who owned that
house before my father bought it?"
"I can tell you In a minute," an
swered the old clerk. He returned after
a brief absence. "It waa purchased
from the Chemical Bank."
"Who owned It before that?"
"I should have te make a sesreb."
"Don't bother. But I find myseli
curious about everything."
"Yes, sir. I still held the opinion
that there were high words in there."
"But what can be done?" wild Ban
croft cvnnively. "There Isn't se much
as a single hair te pick up."
Jehnsen sighed. "There doesn't seem
te be."
"De you knew anything about mj
father that Mr. Snell doesn't?"
"Ne, Mr."
"Well, send this letter special de
livery, and tell Mr. Sncll I'll be In top
morrow, between 11 and 12."
"Mr. Snell tells me jeu're quite a
Latin scholar, air."
"Ob, I can get along with it."
"That's one of my pastimes, sir. 1
never tire of the Aeneid." ,
" 'All of which I saw, and part of
which I was.' We'll talk It ever some
day. I'm in a hurry new."
Youth la Ever In a Hurry
Jehnsen sighed ncaln. Youth was
ever in a hurry. All at once a brilliant
dea pepped Inte his dusty mind. He
determined te see what sort of a girl
this Miss Bewman was. It was due
te the Arm te see that this yeungstei
was particularly guarded. It was net
tight te sit back and permit blm te be
made a feel of.
"By-by. Better reconsider and let
me give you a whirl some night," said
Bancroft, unconsciously using one of
Jenny Malley's words.
"Pm-tee old for that nonsense."
"I'll wager you never had a whirl."
"Maybe net. Geed day, sir."
On the way back te the beuse in
Ninth street Bancroft studied Nancy's
letter; that is, he 'studied the address
en the envelope. Even though he knew
the exact wording of the letter, even
though it was really addressed te Mm,
be would never break into It. But be
would always keep It.
He was net In love ; be waa merely In
the middle of one of these first adven
tures of youth ; be was figuratively sit
ting en the perch In the moonlight, or
going te a barn dance or te a church so se
clsl. It waa the thirsty heart, reach
ing for the neareat water; and some
how Nancy waa the materialisatien el
these dreams he had bad of woman.
Lacking a Nancy, he would have bees
temporarily satisfied with a Jenny; a
pretty, friendly young woman, no mat
ter what her name was.
He was astonished when the train
guard whined, "Eighteenth afreet!"
He wnlked down te Ninth street.
Evcrj where men und women, bes and
Klrlg, were pouring forth out of doers,
almost with that jerky hurriedness of
the 6lewly turned moving picture cam
era which hud always made him laugh.
But in this hour he found nothing
te laugh at. He was struck by an
astounding fact. He was without am am
bltlen; that Is, he had no objective,
no goal. It seemed Incredible. He
could net recall having desired te be
wmething a nevellet, an inventor, u
merchant prince. What was thy mean
ing of that? He had lived the very
kind of life te atlr the ambition; anJ
all these years he had lent his body
te menial tasks and bis brain te moon meon moen
Hhtne. What would he lime been bad
bis father died In poverty t A farm
hand, or u country school tencher, all
his life! Te carve out n niche for
hlmself-he hadn't really given the
mutter uny substantial consideration.
Oh. t, he had Imagined himself this
or that chnracter, but he had never
created a permanent dream of which be
himself eneuiu ne me woei una waru.
And new the reailc wand of ready
money would atrenny the instinct.
It was a distinct shock. What
could he de? What should he try te
de? The notion of feeling nbeut with
a Latin primer new disgusted blm.
Could he write? Surely, up; or he
would have begun scrlbbing long age.
He was twenty-four, the son of hi
father, and he had no definite ambition,
no goal toward which te set his ener
gies! He became anpslcd; and the
depression abided with him long after
the curtain bad risen upon the flrat
act of "The Purple Meth" until he
discovered Jehnsen In the uudlence!
He wanted te laugh; for he under under under
utoed the meaning of the old fossil's
appearance In tbfi ungodly temple of
muste and flesh and laughter. Wanted
te sea for himself what sort of a girl
It waa whose deg had been worth se
much trouble. The first impulse waa
te meet him and carry him off te Nancy
and Jenny, ae first mate te hla own
Columbus. Thet would be funny the
fossil and the pollywog venturing forth
for the first time into the nlgTit life
of a great city. But he had te dismiss
the notion as tee dangerous. Jehnsen
might stumble verbally and give the
l.u,,.. ii ! and that would enJ
the romance before It beaan. go he
ceniJdsrtd it win te lei Jbhnaea go all
way.
