EGBERT, “A marriage has been arranged and ! will shortly take place between Miss Estelle Lambert, only daughter of Rear Admiral Charles Lambert (re- tired) and Mr. John Hewlett, the well- known senior partner of Hewlett & Mason, 89 Wall street. The news of the engagement has occdsioned con- siderable speculation among the friends of the bride, who—" John Hewlett, seated at his desk in his capacious office, smiled very grim- ly as he read the insinuating para- graph in the society paper which had been sent to him, marked, by some one who preferred to remain anony- mous. It was well that he had done g0, for John Hewlett vas not a very pleasant enemy, and he had been known to repay insults with good measure on more than one occasion. But he only thrust the sheet con- temptuously into his waste-paper basket, and then, having sorted the correspondence upon his desk, he closed it with a slam. He had arrang- ed his affairs; he had settled his ob- ligations to the last penny; mow he was to settle a moral obligation which weighed on him more than the loss of his entire fortune, wiped out in a day by the sensational slump in Hard- ware Preferred. John Hewlett was forty-three. From the age of eighteen to thirty he had worked in a foundry, stripped to the waist, the bully and overlord of a motley erew of hard fighters and hard workers. Then an education, painful- ly and laboriously acquired by the aid of a few books studied when he should have heen sleeping, enabled him to break free from his enslave- ment. In five years more he was a man of average education and moder- ately rich; at forty he had entered Wall street, whepe, during three years, he had becowe known as the most andacions freedance in the finan- cial district. e had made millions had been flattered and courted; then, at forty-three he for the first time in hig lite.

Now, hearing this, he felt his temyples suffused with blood; involun- tariiz he put out hiz hands and the Japunese screen toppled over. Next mon:-nt he was standing in front of Estelle and his traducer. All the de- corum acquired throngh years of pain- ful self-mastery had vanished, and he | was elemental in his fury. His fists ' were clenched, his face was purplo. and he rocked slightly, like an In- furiated beast. “I heard you.” he bellowed. “T heard you! 1—I won't hurt you in Miss Lambert's presence. But I'm going lo speak to her alone. Get out!" “Mr. Hewlett!” cried Estelle, spring- fng to her feet, pale with anger, “please remember that you are both my guests.” Hewlett's hands fell to his ||du He felt himself trembling. At that moment Admiral Lambert entered the room quietly, stepped up, and woll his place between the men. “Come, Hewlett, my dear fellow,” he began. “What's the matter be- tween you and Mr. Faning?” “May 1 be allewed to speak?’ Iu quired Faning irontcally. He stood up. conl enough, although his hands were chaking. “It amounts to this: That man is a pauper. [is house has failed. And I think,” he continued, with a littie bow, “that he has come here to tell you 0. “yes vou're right” eried Hewlett, all his rage came back. Never before had he been balked by circum- 81 c<: now he gaw everything red: he wanted to use his mizhty fists, and, not Leing able to, felt humiliated and impotent. “Yes, I've lost all my | money,” he shouted. “And I came to [tell Miss Lambert so—not you, ad- miral, but Miss Lambert, because it's her right to know.” “And T think Ir. Hewlett is angry . ;that Mr. Faning should have told me first,” put in Esteile indignantly. Hewlett looked round at the calm, collected witnegges of his helpless rage. He was very like a bear being | baited by hounds. Rut in that mo- ment a sense of dignity came to him, ! ; fomething finer than his normal self, { which lifted him above his passion {and left him cooler than all. “Let's come to the point,” he said. “1 have asked Mr. Faning to with- [ draw. Now [ can proceed. I have lost every penny | have, but I've pald { my debts wid I'm going to start life over again—and win. I've always won. But I've lost one thing. I came to say and | that. 1 wish to release Miss Lambert | from our engagenient. It wouldn't be fair.” | He stopped and looked from one to ! another. There was something al- I most pititul in his gaze. Faning | shifted uneasily. i | “With your permission, I will be going, sir,” he said to the admiral, | and, bowing to Estelle, he went out of {the room. Outside he paused and | grinned. Success was his now; he had heard enough; Hewlett had hope- fessly lost—why, the coarseness of ! the man had shown through the polish | like raw wood under a coat of var- nish. He chuckled all the way home. 1 Inside there was a dead silence. Then the admiral spoke. “Why wouldn't it be fair?” he asked. I "Why"' stammered Hewlett. “Why l | —why—" | Admiral Lambert came forward and | i clasped the other by the hand. | “I can't epeak for Estelle, John,” | | he said, “but 1 think you are doing | i us both a wrong. 1 hope you are.
