CHAPTER X. WOMEN OF THK FUTURE. From that day the doctor's poach was gono. Never was a quiot and orderly household transformed so suddonly into a beer garden or a liappy man turned into such a completely miserable one. He had never realized before how ontire ly his daughters had shieldod him from all the friction of life. Now that tlioy had not only ceased to protect him, but had themselves become a source of trou ble to him, he began to understand how groat the blessing was which he had en joyed and to Bigh for the happy days be fore his girls hnd come under the influ ence of his noighbor. "You don't look happy," Mrs. Wcst macott liud remarked' to him one morn ing. "You are pale and a little off color. You should como with mo for a 10-milo spin upon the tandem." "I am troubled about my girls." They were walking up and down in tho gar den. From time to time there sounded from the house behind thorn tho long sad wail of a French hom. ' 'That is Ida," said he. ' 'She has taken to practicing on that dreadful instru ment in tho intervals of her chemistry. And Clara is quito as bad. I decluro it is getting quito unondurablo." "Ah, doctor, doctor!" sho cried, shak ing her forefinger with a gleam of her white teeth. "You must live up to your principles—you must givo your daugh ters the same liberty as you advocate for other women." "Liberty, madam, certainly! But this approaches to license." "The Bamo law for all, my friond." Sho tapped him reprovingly on tho arm with her sunshade. "When yon were 20, your father did not, I presume, object to your loarning chemistry or ploying a musical instrument. You would havo thought it tyranny if ho had." "But thero is such a sudden change in them both." "Yew, I havo noticed that they have been very enthusiastic lately in tho causo of liberty. Of all my disciples I think that they promiso to IK) tho most devoted and consistent, which is the moro natu- , ral since their father is one of our most trusted champions." The doctor gave a twitch of impatience. "I seem to havo lost all authority," ho ! cried. "No, no, my dear friend. They nro a littlo exuberant at having broken tho trammels of custom. That is all." "You cannot think what I liavo had to put up with, madam. It has been a dreadful experience. Last night, after I had extinguished the candle in iny bed room, I placed my foot upon som 'thing .smooth and hard, which scuttled from under me. Imagino my horror! I lit tho gas and camo upon a well known tor toise which Clara has thought fit to in troduce into the house. I cull it a filthy custom to have such pets." Mrs. Westmaeott dropped him a little courtesy. "Thank you, sir," said she. "That is a nice littlo sido hit at my poor Eliza." "I givo you my word that I had for gotten about her," cried the doctor, flush ing. "One sucli jiet may no doubt bo endured, but two are more than I can bear. Ida has a monkey which lives on the curtain roil. It is a most dreadful creature. It will jeiuain absolutely mo tionless until it sWs that you havo for gotten its presence, and then it will su" i denly bound from picturo to picture all ' round tho walls and end by swinging down on the bellropo and jumping onto ; tho top of your head. At breakfast it i stole a poached egg and daubed it all over the door handle. Ida calls these outrages amusing tricks." "Swinging down on the bcUropc and Jumping onto the top of pour head." "Oh, all will come right," said tho widow reassuringly. "And Clara is as bad—Clara, who used to be so good and sweet, the very image of her poor mother. Sho insists upon this preposterous scheme of being a pilot and will talk of nothing but re volving lights, and hidden rocks, and codes of signals, and nonsense of the kind." "But why preposterous?" asked his companion. "What nobler occupation can there be than that of stimulating commorco and aiding tho mariner to steer safely into port? I should think your daughter admirably adapted for such duties." "Then I must beg to differ from you, madam." "Still, you are inconsistent." "Excuse me, madam, I do not see the i matter in tlie same light. And I should be obliged to you if you would uso your | influence with my daughter to dissuade j her." "Yon wish to make tnc inconsistent too." "Then you refuse?" "I am afraid that I cannot interfere." Tho doctor was very angry. "Very Well, madam," said lie. "la that caeo 1 I tan only Bay that I havo tho honor to wlali yon a vory good morning." He raised Ills broad straw hat and strodo away up tho gravel path while the widow looked after him with twinkling oyes, Bho wns enrprieod herself to find that she lilted the doctor bettor tho moro maeculino and aggressive ho became. It was unreasonable and against all prin ciple, and yot so it was, and no argument could mend tho matter. Vory hot and angry tho doctor retired Into his room and sat down to read Ida paper. Ida had rotlred, and tho distant wails of hor buglo showed that she was op stairs in hor boudoir. Clara sat oppo site to him with her exasperating charts and her bluo book. Tho doctor glanced at hor, and his eyes remained fixed in as tonishment upon tho front of her skirt. "My dear Clara," he cried, "you have torn your skirt I" His daughter laughed and smoothed out her frock. To his horror he saw the red plush of tho chuir where the dress ought to have been. "It is all torn," he cried. "What have you done?" ' 'My dear papa," said she,' 'what do you know abouttho mysteries of ladies' dress? This is a divided skirt." Then he saw that it was indeed so ar ranged, and that his daughter was clad in a sort of looso, extremely long knick erbockers. "It will bo BO convenient for my sea boots," Bho explained. Her father shook his head sadly. "Your dear .mother would not have liked it, I Clara," said he. For a moment the conspiracy was | upon the point of collapsing. There was something in the gentleness of his re buke and in his api>eal to her mother , which brought the tears to her eyes, and in another instant she would have been i kneeling beside him with everything confessed, when the door flew open and her sister Ida came bounding into the room. Sho wore a short gray skirt, liko that of Mrs. Westmacott, and she held it up in each hand and dunced about among the furniture. "I feel quite the Gaiety girl!" she cried. "llow delicious it must bo to be upon the stage! You can't think how nice this dress is, papa. Ono feels so free in it. And isn't Clara charming?" "Go to your room this instant and take it off!" thundered tho doctor "I call it highly improper, and no daughter of mine shall wear it." "Pupa! Improper! Why it is tho ex act model of Mrs. Westmacott's." "I say it is improper. And yours also, Clara. Your conduct is really outra goous. You drive mo out of tho house. lam going to my club in town. I have no comfort or poace of mind in my own house. I will stand it no longer. I may bo late tonight. I shall go to tho British medical meeting. But when I return I shall hope to find that you have recon sidered your conduct, and that you have shaken yourself clear of the pernicious influences which have recently made | such an alteration in your conduct." He j seized liis h..t, slammed the dining room door, and a few minutes later they heard tho crush of tho big front gate. I "Victory, Clara, victory!" cried Ida, still pirouetting around the furniture, j "Did you hear what ho said? Pornicious influences! Don't you understand, Clara? Why do you Bit thero so palo and glum? Why don't you get up and dance?" , "Oh, I shall be so glad when it is over, Ida. Ido hate to givo him pain. Surely ho has learned now that it is very un pleasant to spend one's life with reform ers." "He has almost learned it, Clara. Just ono more little lesson. Wo must not risk all at this last moment." "What would you do, Ida? Oh, don't do anything too dreadful. I feel that we havo gone too far already." "Oh, we can do it very nicoly. You see we arc both engaged, and that makes it very easy. Harold will do what you ask him, especially as you havo told him the reason why, and my Charles will do it without even wanting to know the reason. Now you know what Mrs. Westmacott thinks about tho reservo of young ladies. Moro prudery, afifocta tion and a relic of tho dark ages of the zenana. Those were her words, were they not?" "What, then?" "Well, now we must put it in practice. We aro reducing all her other views to practico, and wo must not shirk this iono." "But what would you do? Oh, don't look so wicked, Ida! You look like some evil littln fairy, with your golden fiair and mischievous eyes. I know that you are going to propose something dreadful!" "Wo must givo a little supper tonight." "We? A supper!" "Why not? Young gentlemen give suppers. Why not young ladies?" "But whom shall we invite?" "Why, Harold and Charles, of course." "And tho admiral and Mrs. Hay Den ver?" "Oh, no. That would be very old fashioned. Wo must keep up with the i lies. Clara." "But what can we give them for sup per?" "Oh, something with a nice, fust, rol licking. late at night kind of flavor to it. Let me see! Champagne, of'courJe—and oysters. Oysters will do. In tlio novels all tho naughty peopio take champagne and oysters. Besides, they won't need any cooking. How is your pocket mon ey, Clara? "I have three pounds." "I have one. Four pounds. I have no idea how much champagne costs. Have you?" "Not the slightest." "How many oysters does a man cut?" "I can't imagine." "I'll writo and ask Charles. No, I won't. I'll nsk June. King for her, Clara. She lias been a cook and is sure to know." Jane, on being cross questioned, refused to commit herself beyond the statement that it depended upon the gentleman and also upon tho oysters. The united experience of the kitchen, however, tes tified that threo dozen was a fair pro vision. "Then wo shall havo eight dozen alto gether," said Ida, jotting down all her requirements upon a sheet of paper. "And two pints of champagne. And somo brown bread and vinogar and pep per. That's all, I think. It is not so very difficult to give a supper after all, is it, Clara?" "I don't liko it, Ida. It seems to mo to bo so very Indelicate." "But it is needed to clinch the matter. No, no, there is no drawing bock now, Clara, or we shall ruin every tiling. Papa b Buro to come back with the 0:45. Ho will reach tho door at 10. Wo must liavo everything ready for him. Now, just sit down at once and ask Harold to como at 9 o'clock, and I shall do tho same to Charles." Tho two invitations were dispatched, received and accepted. Harold was already a confidant, and ho understood that this was somo further development of the plot. As to Charles, ho was so accustomed to feminino eccentricity in tho person of liis aunt that the only thing which could surprise him would be a rigid observance of etiquette. At 0 o'clock they entered tho dining room of No. 2, to find tho master of the house absent, a red shaded lamp, a snowy cloth, a pleasant little foust lilTd tho two whom they would have chosen as their com panions. A merrier party never mot, and tho house rang with their laughter and their chatter. "It is 8 minutes to 10," cried Clara suddenly, glancing at tho clock. "Good gracious! So it is! Now for our littlo tableau!" Ida pushed the champagne bottles obtrusively forward in tho direction of the door and scatterod oyster shells over the cloth. "Have you your pipe, Charles?" "My pipe! Yes." "Then please smoke it. Now, don't argue about tt, but do it, for you will ruin tho effect otherwiso." The largo man drew out a red case and extracted a great yellow meer schaum, out of which a momont later ho was puffing thick wreaths of smoko. Harold had lit a cigar, and both tho girls had cigarettes. "That looks very nice and emanci pated," said Ida, glancing round. "Now 1 shall lie on this sofa. Sol Now, Charles, just sit here and throw your arm carelessly over the back of tho sofa. No, dbn't stop smoking. I liko it. Clara, dear, put your feet upon tho coal scuttle and do try to look n littlo dissipated. I wish wo could crown ourselves with flowors. Thero nro somo lettuces on tho sidoboard. Oh, dear, hero ho isl I hear his key." She began to sing in her high, fresh voico a littlo snatch from a French song, with a swinging tra-la-la chorus. Tlio doctor had walked homo from tho station in a peaceable and relenting franio of mind, feeling that perhaps ho had said too much in tho morning, that his daughters had for years been models in every way, and that if thoro had been any change of late it was, as they said themselves, on account of their anxiety to follow his advice and to imitate Mrs. Westinacott. Ho could see clearly enough now that that advice was un wise and that a world peopled with Mrs. Westmacotts would not be a happy or a soothing one. ft was ho who was him self to blame, and he was grioved by tho thought that perhaps his hot words had troubled and saddened his two girls. This fear, however, was soon dissi pated. As ho entered his hall he heard tho voice of Ida uplifted in a rollicking ditty, and a very strong smell of tobacco was homo to his nostrils. He threw opon the dining room door and stood aghast at the sceno which met his eyes. The room was full of tho blito wreatlis of smoke, and tho lninplight shone through the thin haze upon gold topped bottles, plates, napkins and a litter of oyster shells and cigarettes. Ida, flushed and excited,-was reclining upon the Bet tee, a wineglass at her elbow and a ciga rette between her lingers, while Charles Westinacott sat beside her, with his arm thrown over tho head of tho Bofa with the suggestion of a caress. On tho other side of tho room Clara was lounging in an armchair, with Harold besido her both smoking and both with wineglassos besido them. Tho doctor 6tood speech less in the doorway, staring at tho bac chanalian scene. "Come in, papa, do!" cried Ida. "Won't you havo a glass of champagne?" "Pray excuse me," said her father coldly. "I feel that lam intruding. I did not know that you wero entertaining. Perhaps you will kindly let mo know when you have finished. You will find mo in my study." He ignored the two young men completely, and closing the door retired, deeply hurt and mortified, to his room. A quarter of an hour aft erward ho heard the door slam, and his two daughters came to announco that the guests were gone. "Quests! Whose guests?" he cried an grily. "What is tho meaning of this ex hibition?" "We have been giving n little supper, papa. They were our guests." "Oh, indeed!" the doctor laughed sar castically. "You think it right, then, to entertain young bachelors late at night, I to smoke ami drink with tuem, to—on, ! that I should ever liavo lived to blush for my own daughters! I thank God that your dear mother never saw the day." "Dearest papa," cried Clara, tl.lowing her arms about him. "Do not ho angry with us. If you understood all, you j would seo there is no harm in it." "No liann, miss! Who is the best ; judge of that?" "Mrs. Westmacott," suggested Ida slyly. i The doctor sprang from his chair. "Confound Mrs. Westmacott!" he cried, striking frenziedly into the air with his hands. "Am I to hear of nothing but j this woman? Is she to confront me at | every turn? I will endure it 110 longer." i "But it was your wish, papa." | "Then 1 will tell you now what my second and wiser wish is, and we shall see if you will obey it as you have the j first." i "Uf course wo will, papa." i "Then my wish.is that you should for get these odious notions which you have imbibed, that you should dress and act as you used to do before ever you saw this woman, and that in future you confine your intercourse with her to such civili ties as are necessary between neighbors." "Weareto give npMrs. Westmacott?" "Or give up me." "Oh, dear dad, how can you say any thing so cruel," cried Ida, burrowing her towsy, golden hair iuto her father's shirt front, while Clara pressed her cheek against his whiskers. "Of course we shall give her up if you prefer it." "Of course we shall, papa." The doctor patted the two caressing heads. "These are my own two girls again," he cried. "It has been my fault as much as yours. I have been astray, and you have followed me in my error. It was only by seeing your mistako that I have become conscious of my own. Let us set it aside and neither say nor think anything moro about it." [CONTINUED ON THURSDAY.] A Horse With an Artificial Eye. A fine looking brown gelding owned by Dr. Walter W. White had one of his eyes injured about two years ago and gradually lost the sight in that optic. The ease was brought to the attention of Dr. Ward, the state veterinarian, some weeks ago. It is a difficult matter to secure artificial eyes for horses that will not warp, break or fall out. Dr. Ward knew that the proper article could be procured In England, and in reply to a letter the delicate piece of compound was received a few days ago. It is made of a composition of vulcanite and will not chango color or become easily In jured. Several dnys ago Dr. Ward dried up the injured eye and placed a small circular piece of vulcanite in the socket, so as to accustom tho horse to the new sensation. The imported eye was put in at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Dr. Ward put a few drops of oil on tho disk like arrangement, and with the aid of a lancet raised the eyelids and placed tho eye in position. The artificial adorn ment looks exceedingly nutural.—Balti more American. Misused Nerve. After a morphiuo eating contest be tween two Colorado gamblers, ono is found dead, the other is recovered with difficulty. It will bo observed that this game for the highest stakes known to man—namely, his life—was played with nerve. In this respect it is not outdone by any incident in the human story, neither is it capablo of being surpassed. As such it is entitled to a place in the record of supreme examples of the recklessness that courts disaster. Tho instance may bojiseful in illustrating a discrimination in tho use of words. It is not an ex ample of the dash that seduces sympathy under the namo daredeviltry. It does display tho nnulogous quality disparaged as foolhardiness. Tho distinction is grounded in tho quality of motive in spiring tho act. Emulation in the hunt ing field, for example, that durcs an im possible leap beguiles tho sympathies. Emulation in eating poison inspires dis gust. But tho gaino in this case was played with nervo all tho same.—New York Evening Sun. A Tory Vision of Civil War. We have carefully abstained from oven hinting on which sido we consider right to lie, either in Bclfiist or Hull, our desire being only to warn our reaiders how near both places have been, or nre, to murderous civil war. They are be mused—we say it to Unionists as well as to Gludstonians— by tho habitualness of tho peaceful order around them, by tho tranquillity which an irresistible force alike of opinion and of rifles main tains in England, and forget that, once adequately moved, men fail back almost instinctively upon older ideas and kill one another with as little compunction as they once fought duels. Civil war is a great deal nearer than we think, both in tho labor question and tho Irish ques tion—or at least it will be if we sur render for one moment that "authority of the whole" which, in any one locality, enforces peace.—London Kpiectator. Significant. The Imperial institute, which Queen Victoria gave the highest sanction of her approval by opening it, is of great inter est to Amerioans because it is part of u plan to federate and unite tho British empire. Should this be brought about, Canada will cease to bo a colony and be como an integral part of tho ompire and be given adequate representation in the control of its affairs. The annexation of tho dominion would then become a much more difficult matter and might involve a war between the two powers.— Detroit Free Press. Our Friend tho Farl, Ye Know.
