Douglas Dick’s Orphan By Emma Ebelt (Copyright, 1912, by A;neuua Literary “Do I look like the guardian of a nine-yearold girl?” asked Dick Belt- ing of his friend Gordon Ambherst, as they sat together in the former's library. Gordon favored his host with an elaborate scrutiny that included the crown of his head and swept down to bis toes, and shook his own head gravely. “It 1 wasn't positive that you dyed your hair, Dick, I should say ‘no’ at once. But being aware that beneath your carefully polished raven locks there lurks many a white and vener- able hair, I will say that I be}leve you're old enough to have an entire orphan asylum in charge.” “She is an orphan,” admitted ick. “Brother's child?” asked Gordon. “You know I never had a brother or sister.” “Confound {t, man, tell me about it while I smoke another of your clgars.” Gordon helped himself from the box and scratched a match. “It fsn't a guessing game, is it?” “No—remember Miles Wendell?” “Perfectly well. He died in Japan a short time ago—I read it in the pa- per.” “It's bis daughter. He did a favor for me once upon a time, and I told him to command me when he needed a service in return. He's written me a letter appointing me guardian of his daughter, Elizabeth, and it was for- warded to me after his death. Her mother died long ago—nine years, the letter states. The girl arrived in New York this afternoon in care of a gov- erness or companion. I'm to see her tomorrow.” Dick tossed a sheet of paper across the table and Gordon read the feebly scratched lines with interest. “What are you going to do with her?” he usked. Dick shrugged his shoulders. “Go- ing to keep her in school for ten years—by that time I shall be a set. A Girl of Nineteen She Was. tled old bachelor and ready 1o pro-ent her to society.” “Ten years from now you will be fitty years old,” murmured Gordon. “You will still be good looking, Dick." “Humph!"” “And will undoubtedly marry Weldon.” “I never suspected you of romantie ideas,” returned Dick dryly. Gordon’s round, fat face grew pink “I may marry your ward myself— I'm five years younger than you are” he protested. “She fsn’t an heiress—uo fortune hunter need apply,” teased Dick. “You need a rich wife, Gordon—you're a spender.” “It's the Ligh cost of lving,” groan- ed Mr. Amberst, “You mean the cost of high living.” Gordon laughed. “When shall | see the infant—wonder if she wouldn't l like to go to the circus?” “Il have you around tomorrow night to take dinner with us if you like.” “All right I'll come—perhaps 1 can help keep her in order.” When Dick was alone he smoked several cigars before he retired. This guardianship of a young girl had in- troduced a new element into his quiet, comfortable, bachelor existence. He told himseli reassuringly that with Elizabeth at school nine months out of the year it might make very little Miss were holidays and vacations to be con- unknown child h: wormth in the re He blushed un ||hought of the coming of Eli !

The thought of making this | “1to acq : | 2000000000000 AROOC0NVVCO to call upon you to help me out in, that respect—I don't know much about fripperies.” It was Mrs. Armstrong’s turn to look surprised and then amused. “Elizabeth will not take kindly to our interference,” she said. “She has chosen her own clothes ever since she was ten years old.” “Oh!” stammered Dick blankly, consclous that he was talking at cross purposes with Elizabeth’s companion. Deftly he changed the subject and waited for the appearance of this pre- coclous Elizabeth, who was undoubted- Iy a little older than he had had rea- son to belleve. Miles Weldon was such a careless fellow it would be just like him to forget the age of his only child. “A few years more won't make much difference,” he was thinking when the door opened and a girl en- tered. A girl of nineteen she was, with small oval face framed in misty black hair; a pair of hazel eyes and a scarlet mouth that smiled at him with charming shyness, “Elizabeth, this is your guardian, Mr., Belting,” sald Mrs. Armstrong de- murely. As Dick bent low over the girl's slender band he recovered his equa- nimity. “I was looking for a nine-year-old girl,” he said with his charming smile. {“I'm afraid I had relegated you to the schoolroom for ten loag years.” Elizabeth laughed softly. “How dreadful when I have just bidden good-by to it forever!” “I even contemplated selecting your Members of the next Florida sen- ate and house, chosen in recent Dem- ocratic primaries.
