    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.—
