CHAPTER CCCIi
"Babbs, the bells sure are ringing
for me and my sweetheart," chuckled
4 Neal as we stood at the gate to the
track on which Father Andrew's train
was due. "I aorta kinda feel as if I
made a wise move when I secured a
„ few time tables while 1 was waiting
for you. They deal with such places
as Niagara Falls, Yellowstone Na
tional Park and Washington, the
capitol of our Nation."
"Bounds like a wedding trip," 1
cried, squeezing his arm.
"Oh, Babbsic, how could you fore
stall my surprise by guessing?"
laughed Neal. "By heck, here they
come and there's the blessed old gov
ernor lugging his own bag, for all the
world as if he hadn't a rich son in
real estate and pining to spend his
earnings in ten-cent tips and such."
He finished as we dashed forward
to swallow up Father Andrew in our
eager arms. In a minute we had be
gun the usual series of questions
about health and feelings and were
fighting for Father Andrew's posses
sions as we piloted him across the
station.
"What's this? What's this?" cried
Father Andrew as we pulled up short
next to the big dark blue car, whose
door panel was marked "A. L. H."
"This is our Babbsie's own coach,
but it may turn back into a pump
kin any minute," chuckled Neal.
"So my girl is riding around in the
comfort she deserves," said Father
Andrew tenderly.
By this time Lyons was off the
# driver's scat and stowing father's
' possessions in the car. Touching his
cap he asked if he should take the
the trunk check and get the bag
gage to carry home en the car, but

shrewd, yet kindly glances, Fath'er
Andrew replied that he was travel

ling light—Just the two bags we'd
already stowed Ip the car.
"Yes, sir," said Lyons, touching his
cap again. But in that moment I felt
strangely enough that the two had
measured each other..
All the way home the talk was of
Neal and me. Father Andrew seemed
to have in insatiable appetite for
everything that concerned his chil
dren, and showed even :nor© than his
usual reticence when it came to talk-,
ing about himself. But when he'd
greeted Phoebe and Jim, and had ad
mired the apartment and enjoyed An
gy's version of a fatted calf for fath
ers, there was a purposeful air to
the way he settled down in the living
room and to a perfecto.
"Don't make the old man feel too
good, children," he said, "or he won't
be able to pull up stakes and start
on his long hike in a day or two."
"Where you hiking to, dad?" asked
Neal. "Phoebe and I are some little
hikers ourselves. Maybe we could
meet up with you after"
"After what?" asked Father Andrew
briskly.
"After the ' wedding," cried Neal,
throwing out his chest. "Jeanie and
Pat are honeymooning again and
we're ready to be next."
Father Andrew beamed.
"Fine! But you must wait for my
return," he said, skipping over Vir
ginia's romance in astonishing fash
ion and imposing his will on Neal as
I'd never known him to do. "You see,
children, I'm off for a very important
trip to the wilds of the Canadian
Northwest," he added. "Expecting a
wire any day. Probably have to go
to-morrow."
There was a queer mumbling ef
fect to his sentences. It seemed, un
like dear, straightforward Father An
drew. I wondered if it meant that
he was getting old and—different.
But when 1 took quick inventory of
the faces 1 perceived that no one
else seemed mystified. Father Andrew
however, caught my wondering.

fiance and went on with an abrupt
change of manner:
"I want to be best man or some
thing prominent like that at this
wedding. But for all that, I can't
postpone this trip of mine, so may
be you'll oblige an old gentleman
i who's more or less interested, by put
ting oft the great day."
Phoebe's face paled—then crimson
ed Her lips trembled from w|i s " u ' _
ness to wilfulness.
"Will you be long gone?" she ask
| >d. "Seems as if we might manage to
wait for a week or so."
I "I can't put off a day. I'll have to
be on my way as soon as ever the
trip's ripe for me," replied Father
Andrew tenderly. "But it would
shame me before folks to have my
boy stand up with his little sweet
heart while I'm away. You won't lo
that, will you children?"
"1 should say not!" flamed Phoebe!
generously. And she run to perch on '
Father Andrew's knee, crying "Please
hurry back. Father dear, 'cause I
think the next best thing to having
Neal for a husband is having his dad
dy for mine. We'll wait for onr
'best man," won't we, Neal?"
"Surest thing you know!" replied
Neal with a gulp. "Only make it snap
py, Dad. That wedding of ours acts
like a mirage in a desert most of the
time." _ |
"You'll wait then," repeated Father
Andrew half to himself. "You won't
fail me. Y'ou'll .wait for my return."
"It isn't easy," replied Neal with a
gulp. "But we'll wait, won't be
lortg though, will it?"
"A matter of months, mayhap," con
fessed Father Andrew.
Neal and Phoebe stared strangely
at each other, but' they turned brave
faces to Father Andrew's searching
eyes.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
THE LOVE GAMBLER
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHARTER LXXXII.
[Copyright, 1919, Star Company.]
Walter Jefferson was a member of
the same club to which Samuel j
Leighton belonged.
Not that he could really afford to |
belong to such an expensive organiz-1
ation as this. Yet, as a climber, hej
| felt that it was to his interest to |
have liis name on the club roster.|
IHe economized in other ways in i
' order to pay his dues, hoping mean-1
while that his association with rich]
men would be of benefit to him. j
One of these rich men had aj
charming daughter. Samuel Leigh-1
ton's son-in-law would never have
to work hard. Desiree was desir
able from all points of view.
The dinner in honor of the Cana
dian military man went off success
fully. It was 11 o'clock when Jef
ferson made his way to Samuel j
Leighton's side. There was about!
him an air of elation that convinced !
the older man that he had some-!
thing of importance to import. Im
mediately Leighton was on his guard.
"Good evening!" he said stiffly.
"Good evening!" Walter Jefferson
returned.
There was an awkward pause.
f'Have one —won't you?" Walter
suggested, proffering his cigaret
case.
"Thanks. I never smoke the
things," was the repily. "Have a
cigar, won't you?" holding out his
own cigar case.
Jefferson wanted to take one, but
something in the cold and disap
proving gleam in his companion's
eyes made him decline. Leighton
started as if to move on. If the
younger man would drop his verbal
bomb, he must do so quickly.
"I want just a word with you,"
he said hastily, laying his hand on
Leighton's arm. "From your man
ner when we parted the other day
I knew that you thought me very
officious. -Since then I have proved
that my suspicions, expressed then,
were well founded."
"Eh?" the gruff monosyllable was
not eneouragi.ig. But Jefferson was
not daunted.
"Yes, I met my cousin, Daisy
Darkin, to-day—in fact, I called on
her. She is stopping at the Wal
dorf—she and her husband. T re
minded her of the chap I met at
her house some time ago—described
I his looks and all that —and told her
I his last name began with a D."
"How did you know that?"
"From the initials on his cuff
jlinkß" Jefferson replied. Then, see
ing the sneer creeping about the
listener's lips hastened to check it
by the startling statement—
A Startling Statement
"Smith your ex-chauffeur hap
pens to b? David DeLnlne of Balti
more. My cousin is sure of it."
Samuel Leighton was puzzled for
an Instant. "David DeLaine" he
began.
"Yes!" Jefferson Interrupted him
eagerly. 'The nephew of Miss
Jeanne DeLaine, a rich old woman
in Baltimore."
"Oh, I understand," the older man
I admitted—then contradicted him
self with—"but no, I don't either!
Why should Miss DeLaine's nephew
think It necessary to give up his own
name—and be my chauffeur?"
"Ah, that's the very point!" Jef
ferson announced triumphantly, a
glow of revenge In his pale blue
eyes. "Why, Indeed? I wondered,
too, until Daisy enlightened me, or
at least threw some light on the
subject, although sho did not sus
pect the significance of what she
told me. It seems, my dear sir, that
some rumors about Miss LeLuine's
will have leaked out, the principal
one being that unless her nephew
married a certain young woman in
New York of whom she was fond he
would get none of her fortune."
For a moment the young man
was startled by the changes that
swept over the parent's face. Per
plexity gave way to suspicion, sus
picion to incredulity, followed by a
rage that made Leighton seem to
tower above his informant.
"Be careful what you say, Jeffer
son!" he exclaimed. "No more sug
gestions! Speak out what you
mean!"
"Bh—sh! Do not speak so loud,"
Walter continued. "I suggest noth
ing. I only tell you what was told
ine. Since you demand cold facts
—my cousin said she had heard that
Miss DeLaine left a pretty sum of
money to her nephew on condition
that he marry a rich girl in New
York—a girl of whom the old lady

own conclusions, sir."
"It's a d — lie'." Leighton burst
forth, "and you can tell your cousi i

I she believed the story. But I know

I After which explosion Samuel
Leighton left Jefferson abruptly,
and, golnp to the coatroom for his
hat and coat, made his way to the
street.
The rain had stooped. Leighton
had to.ld his chauffeur not to return
for him. He had not been sure
when he would want to s'O home,

Liquor Dealers Are
Jubilant Over Order
Restraining Prosecution
Providence, R. 1., Nov. 13.—Rhode
Island liquor dealers were jubilant
to-day over the preliminary Injunc
tion issued by United States District
Judge Brown forbidding government
officers from enforcing the pro
visions of the wartime prohibition
act affecting the sale of beer.
They are, however, undecided as
to when they can place four per
cent, beer on draught. A warning
issued by internal Revenue Collec
tor George F. O'Shnunessy has been
taken to mean that saloonkeepers
who take advantage of the court's
action and sell stronger beverage
than one-half of one per cent will
become liable to prosecution later
should an upper court reverse Judge
Brown's decision.
