Bancroft comprehended at once; the

be no way of anticipating It ; he would
have te awnjt It. But If the peer mad

by the strangest sacrifice had creat
te meae minions; nis son would ad
minister them, turn them loose in pro
ductive sallies upon a broken world,
build up little communities et wage
earners, create Jobs as ether men creat
ed music, literature, art. Why, there
was nothing finer in all this drab
earth than te make oneself a useful
citizen. That would be his business
in life.
He went te the theatre ' that night.
Ills applause was thunderous ; he could
net keep still in his chair; his face waa
like a beacon. He did net exactly
annoy any one, but he attracted some
amused attention. People smiled in
dulgently et "the young man with a
girl in the show." They could even
pick out the girl. Se far as Bancroft
was concerned, be waa all nlena In
the orchestra and Nancy was all alone
en the atage.
He left his chair nt the beginning of
the finale, begging perdens by the
wholesale -as he maneuvered past the
cramped knees. He trod en one gentle
man's feet.

Reses for Twe Glrlst
Bancroft reached the aisle without
Inflicting upon the remnant of the row
anything mere serious tbau obstructed
view. He hurried off te tbe nearby
florist, who, he remembered, was si
wnys open late e nights. He purchas
ed two desen American Beauties and
had them separately boxed. Neit, he
ran around te the stage entrance and
boldly entered for the first time. He
paused before the Cubbyhole; of the
ancient Cerberus.
"Wet a pencil?"
"A pencil? Yeu can't get by here,
young man," said the watchdog, feeling
his dignity grossly affronted. A pen
cil! "Whadda yuh think thla la, a
posteffice?"
"I'll give you $5 for a pencil!" with
a gesture and tene perhaps net unlike
that used aforetime by the desperate
ltlcherd, seeking te evade tbe wrathful
Lancaster.
"Well, of course "
A stub was produced and paid for.
On each box Bancroft wrote; "Supper
at the Rita. Jerry."
"Please deliver these," he sold,
"All right. But I've dumped mere
roses in the sshenn for Miss Bewman
than you get hnira en your head. I
nevcr saw you before."
"And "you may never see me again.
That's the md pert of life. Here to
day, and gene tomorrow."
u Well, I'll take the flowers in; but
they'll be heading for tbe ashcan, if
I knew anything."
These two boxes of resea met odd re
reptlnns, Jenny frowned. Nancy
sighed.
i Jenny touched the soft petals, eyeing
them with that fixity of gaze kneyn of
the crystal gazer ; indeed, she Vetild
penetrate the future te tbe extent of
an assurity that these would be the
(irst and lest resea she would ever re
ceive from Jeremiah the Queer, as she
suddenly dubbed Bancroft; net par
ticularly happy ever the gift, certain
that Nancy would possess the like or
better. All right: she would wear them,
she would go te the Hits ; but she would
also give the thoughtless nut a piece of
her mind for net tipping her of ae she
could have dressed for the part.
Nancv slahed: but with happiness.
Here were roses she might keep. She
held tliem te her face and Inhaled the
delicate perfume. Jerry was becoming
thoughtful, the peer boy ! . Whatever
