I'm afraid not, Mr. Kendrick,” and Mr. Sellew shook his | white head and dipped his pen in the heavy brass instand. “You have sald that before, sir,” said Jack Kendrick coolly, “but so far, you bave never been able to give me a 800d reason for your refusal.” “Good reason? I don't care for the family connection, that's all,” said Al | ice’s father blunty. The young man colored hotly.“My own father is quite as opposed to it,” he returned quietly. “Of course, I know you are political enemies, but my father said if it was a question low ijt.” “Swallow it—meaning me, eh?" chortled Mr, Sellew, whirling violent- Iy about in his chair. “You can tell your father, my boy, that he doesn't have to swallow me or my family. He could beat me out on that I.. M. and C. deal, but when it gets down to per- sonal matters, I've got the controlling vote in the Secllew family—under- stand?” “You make it very plain, sir.” “Then—then—you better take your leave, yourg man, before my butler sweeps you up and removes you in the waste basket!" cried Mr. Sellew violently. “That's very gocd advice, sir—I'l} follow it" sald Jack, rising. “I'm sorry that you and my father feel the way that you do about it—it's such an inevitable fact—" “What is an inevitable fact?" snapped the financier, his hand on the pushbutton, “That love will win out in the end, because Alice and I do love each oth- er, and it seems a pity that two old men who have made money enough to render them happy in that way should stind in the path of our mak- ing ourselves happy in our own way. You can make it disagrecable for us, hut in the end you'll have to give in,” Lie «aid confidently, and hefore the red- visaged man at the desk could utter a word the luckless suitor took his de- parture Mr. Sellew pounded his desk flerce- | .- : 1 ly. “Love will win out against mon.

We want a display for the evening after the big dinner.” “Very well, Il self.” It was the very night before the Fourth when Jacob Sellew remem- bered the fireworks, His daughter and the servants had already gone down to the country house, and he Wius stopping at a hotel.

In his chagrin at the situation he lost his nerve and sat helplessly as the machine wabbled up the avenue, freakishly turned astde to cross the lawn, only to stagger to a standstill in the midst of a rose garden in front of the big house, There were people sitting in the veranda and he heard exclamations and a man's shout. s Then the real performance began. A rocket hissed from bebind him and shot horizontally across the park. It burst its flaming way through a handsome spruce tree and left de struction in its wake. Other rockete shot forth in the most independent manuer. Fortunately most of them were headed away from the house. Roman candles pouted, red fire blazed luridly and the cannon crack ers roared as they wrecked the new automobile. Jacob Sellew was on the ground, dancing frantically around the dan gerous display, dodging rockets and candles with surprising agility. All at once came gome stablemen headed by Jauck Kendrick, carrying a long hose. in three minutes the blaze extingnished and Jacol Sellew was standing and smoking machine waiting the approach of Lis arch enemy.
