CIC A a Za A ZA a A A ON IO JET BY ( pl J STORY FRQM THE START From the comfortable financial situation to which he had been born, Peter Milman, American gentleman of the old school, and last of his family, is practically reduced to penury through the misfortune of a friend, Haze: Brewer, whom he had unwisely trugted. Learning of Brewer's sui- cide, which means the destruction of his last hope, Milman engages a French butler, Achille Lutry, who speaks no English, and is to replace Sneed, servant of long standing. By Lutry, Milman sends letters to Prof. Fleming Bradney, Floyd Malet and Nee- whom the failures, land Bavpes, men world bas classed as - once of high position. CHAPTER II—Continued —_—3 “Beside yourself there will be, 1 trust, Neetand Barnes, formerly an in- ternational polo player and owner of race horses, and Floyd Malet, who, when he seemed about to take his place in the world as a great sculptor, suffered an unfortunate eclipse.” Bradney went to the library and Sure entugh, Peter Milman was recorded as living on Lower Fifth avenue, The thing, then, was not a foolish prac- tical joke.

He had not worn it for a dozen years. ’ . . . - . . Peter Milman’s letter reached Nee- land Barnes at a moment when that eminent sportsman was engaged in staving off his most persistent cred- itor, the landlord Lippsky. Barnes was a tall, finely made man who had run through several fortunes by his love for horses and his inabil- ity to judge of their chances in races. After his wife had died, his relatives their shoulders and abandoned him. The many schemes for his rehabilitation had failed. He disappeared from fashionable resorts. His only daughter was being brought up in England by rich relations. He had drifted about the world until, at the end of all resources, he had taken a little house on the outskirts of | Peekskill, Here he was engaged in what he explained as an attempt “to stage a comeback.” He was trying to become | physically fit, and he was succeeding. But mountain hikes and sculling up the noble stream brought no grist to the mill. “Mr. Barnes, you are a loafer,” : Lippsky cried when the sportsman had his faculties announced his inability to pay rent long overdue.

Sell your swell clothes and get over- ells.” He waved Peter Milman’s let- ter. “Get some of your swell friends to lend you money.” Neeland Barnes looked at the letter, puzzled. He did not recognize the writing, but the stationery was reas- suring. “When what you term my swell | friends know I am living in a hovel | Finest quality Tires and Tubes | that will give you many thousands of miles | | man to | | | | { lke this, they will advance me the money. I shall not ask them until I have finished my training. I am about to begin. If I hit you, it’s your look- out.” Barnes began his. shadow-boxing exercises. Dimly Lippsky perceived that his debtor was getting nearer and nearer. He went out muttering “Loafer.” It was a word which did much to appease him, Barnes boxed no more when his landlord had disappeared. He read the astonishing letter a dozen times and secreted the money-order at once. Alone of the three who had received scmewhat similar communications, he knew of Milman and his family. Very flistantly they were connected by mar- riage. Jarnes had no idea that the Jrewer failure had brought Peter Mil- penury. One sentence he found strangely intriguing: “If, as I believe, you feel yourself unfairly treated by the world that was yours, I may be able to offer you the oppor- tunity to take your place again in egociety.” Neeland Barnes longed above all comfortable life that had once been his. He had never per- mitted himself to become shabby. Never had he sunk to s a state hat former friends woulu itate to things for the THE PATTON COURIER | The Recluse of 4 F ifth Avenue —— : recognize him. He clung to the idea that when once he ceased to shave and wear clean linen the descent to hell would have begun. He rolled a cigarette and indulged In pleasing reveries. Good dinners were not given idly nor were hundred- dollar bills expended for nothing. Peter Milman wanted him to do some- thing. Well, Neeland Barnes was his man, Perhaps after all these years the man who had run away with Mrs. Milman was back in America. Per- haps Peter Milman desired him to be chastised publicly. He would find Neeland Barnes devoid of fear and in better physical trim than he-had been for a dozen years. Barnes always saw himself in a heroic light. He hoped the thing would be staged so that his old cronies might see it. They would never believe that he could keep so fit after the scandalous rumors that had been spread about him. Naturally there would be expense money. It would be a delightful ex- perience to pay Lippsky his deferred rent in nickels and cents and watch him scrambling feverishly for the coins among poison ivy. And he would be able to send his daughter a decent present at last. Poor Nita, whom he had not seen for years, brought up by jealous relatives far from his care. The adventure might lead to amazing things. Presently these brilliant prospects faded. He was consclous that his only home was in Lippsky’s grotesquely furnished house, Adventures with glorious endings offered themselves only to youth. He sighed a little. Then he smiled. After all, he had the hundred dollars and the prospect of a good dinner, - * * * » - * Floyd Malet, under the name of M. Floyd, was earning a poor living by teaching drawing in Philadelphia private schools. The man who had hoped to see his name associated with Rodin and Meunier was forgotten by all save the few who had seen in him the signs of genius. Malet was a man of middle size, thin and haggard. Once or twice fastidious pupils had complained that he paid too little at- tention to his personal appearance. Milman’s letter came by late mail. At first the sculptor was inclined to think it an advertising scheme of some sort. The Lower Fifth avenue address was thick with loft and office buildings. Like Bradney, he went to a library and looked up Milman. The genealog- fcal department gave him ample data. The stranger's letter held out the promise of temporary relief from an intolerable life. There was money for the trip and enough over to live for many weeks as he had lately learned to live. He packed his grip, thankful he had saved a suit of eve- ning clothes. There is something vivifying ahout the air of Manhattan. It had its ef- fect on the three men bound for Peter Milman’s house. Bradney held up his head again and Malet lost his droop of depression. Neeland Barnes, walk- Ing briskly down the avenue, passed clubs which had dropped him on ac. count of nonpayment of dues and felt himself within measurable distance of re-election, His military mustache and fine carrlage made him a marked figure, and he liked the limelight. As he neared the Milman house he wondered what his fellow guests would be like. In other years no phys- icists had been numbered among his acquaintances. He was not quite cer- tain what a physicist was. As to sculptors, he had met one in Rome, but he was a marquis. Sculptors were probably all right. He was reassured by remembering that the wife of a» former polo pal had her own studio. But he would probably have to domi- nate the conversation with Peter Mil- man and talk of old New York society. He must be careful not to mention the Daynes. The runaway wife had been a Dayne. Wedged in betwecn tall buildings, + the Milman house looked squat and Yet Barnes gazed at it with respect. To be able to retain it spelled wealth. LesSer men would have sold at a profit and moved up- town. What this millionaire might want with Neeland Barnes was a de- unimpressive. masts A a a a ZA ME A SOTO TT 3 WYNDHAM MARTYN = Ke 0 NU Service iS D i lightful mystery. He rapped loudly with the brass knocker, A few minutes earlier Floyd Met had stood appalled at the smug ugli- ness of the building. He did not think with any sympathy of that generation, represented by the builder, hich had distrusted elegance and loved what was solid and lasting. To the sculp- tor It seemed the Milman home was modeled on the old Astor house. But he liked the door and the brass knocker, which was a copy of that decorating an Oxford college. The last to come was Fleming Bradney, whom the subway had de- layed. He rather liked the house. It had strength and the ale of studied isolation. None could look through its windows to disturb the Inwates. It lay fifteen feet back from the side- walk. Bradney had that imagination without which mathematicians ean never be great. Whom and what was he to see behind the tall door? CHAPTER I11 Neeland Barnes disapproved of Achille, who admitted him with lavish gestures, This was not the sort of butler a Milman should employ. He followed him to a library, where he found his host speaking to Floyd Malet. It was as Barnes thought. Sculptors were not quite up to his so- clal standard. This stranger was physically inconspicuous, and his clothes should have been more recent- ly pressed, Neeland Barnes held out his hand to Peter Milman, as one could to a man of his distinguished ancestry, with a smile which said plainly, “I, at least, belong here.” “It is very kind of you to come,” said Peter Milman. He turned to Floyd Malet: “Mr. Malet, this is Mr. Neeland Barnes.” Barnes nodded a little coldly. Curi- ous, he thought, that Peter Milman should have introduced Malet to him. Then Fleming Bradney came in. Al- though his clothes were of another era, there was an air of power about him. His was a carelessness due less to ignorance than to lack of concern with other people’s modes of life an thought, In an age when beards were unpopular he wore one, and little chil- dren hissed “Beaver” to him at every street corner. Peter Milman, so Barnes thought, treated him with extreme respect. It was not until Achille brought in the cocktails that Barnes’ frown left him. It was easy to see that of the three Peter Milman considered him the least important. Why, he wondered, did Milman esteem it an honor to have a physicist to dinner? The word re- curred many times. This must be some new way of ‘describing a phy- sician. That was it. Physicians were not so bad. One had married a Van- derbilt in America and another a duke of Norfolk's daughter in England. The second cocktail found Neeland Barnes more amiable. He looked keenly at his host, but discovered no trace of nervousness about him, no wildness of eye which might confirm the world’s opinion that he was men- tally unfit, Perfectly dressed, as usual, but no better turned-out than Neeland Barnes. The dining room was beautifully furnished. “Ha, ha,” said Barnes, Chippendale !” “Sheraton,” the sculptor corrected gently. “Just as you like,” Barnes said gen- fally. There were certain bottles in plain view which banished any {li- humor he might have felt. Not for years had he sat down to a really well- chosen and well-cooked dinner. Every- thing about him spoke of lavish ex- penditures. To Floyd Malet every- thing spoke of exquisite taste. The relief, after years of furnished dis- sonance, was grateful. He felt cheer- ful after a decade of gloom. The bearded Bradney noticed only that he was sitting at a bountiful ta- ble and invited to sip excellent vint- age wines, What was the reason? He was impatient to know. What op- portunity was he to be offered to re- gain the rank in science that disgrace had bereft him?

Every now and then he smiled quietly to himself, “You know,” he said finally to the Woman, “moth- ers are wonderful people. They always believe there is nobody quite so clever as their own children. “Now, my mother, for instance, thinks I know everything about eyes. She doesn’t confine her boasting to the neighbors, either. She is just as like- ly as not to walk up to a nearsighted or crosseyed passenger in the subway and tell him his eyes need attention and that her son is the best oculist in New York. She says that isn’t hunt- ing business for me; it's helping people who don’t know enough to look after their sight. But the joke is on her, “Yesterday she met a man who is distinctly and painfully ‘wall-eyed.’ ‘You mustn't let your eyes go like that,’ she told him immediately the in- troductions were made. ‘My son can do anything with eyes. Why don't you go to see him? ‘I'm afraid he can't do anything with this eye, mad- am,’ answered the object of her so- licitude; ‘you see, it's a glass one.’ "= New York Sun.

Mrs. Towne helped form the Bourque unit of the Amer- fecan Legion auxiliary, has served as its president, was the first president of the state auxiliary and has served as national committeewoman from Maine for a number of years. Eliza- beth was the youngest member en- rolled as a charter member of the Bourque unit.

Clarence Dr. John G. Towne. R. Edwards arrived in Boston to take command of the Northeastern depart- ment, he summoned Major Towne to headquarters and made him director of the hospitals of the Twenty-sixth division, then in process of formation. He was sent to France in advance of the division and established hos- pitals in the training area around Neuf Chateau. When the division ar- rived they found splendid hospital fa- cilities already established and these were used by many other outfits which served in that area. During the win- ter he was placed on detached service at the British field school on the West- ern front. He served there for three months and later as sent to the first army training school at Longres. He was near Cambrai when the Germans wiped out the British force there, be- ing in the town for two hours before the Germans broke through and prac- tically every man that he was asso- ciated with was either killed or cap- tured. Major Towne returned to the divi- sfon in time for service on the Sois- | sons front and again on the Toul front, supervising the moving of hos- pitals from one sector to the other. After he had established hospitals on the Chateau Thierry front he received orders which made him commander of camp hospital No. 29 about forty-two miles from Bordeaux and there he stayed for ten months, leaving the hos- pital after the armistice to be attend- ing surgeon at Bordeaux. He re- ceived his promotion as lieutenant colonel May 2, 1919, for his efficient work ‘In the base section area. Upon his return to this country Colonel Towne went into the reserves. He became the first commander of the George N. Bourque post No. 5, serving two years. Among other Le- gion positions _he has held, is that of state commander in 1923.
