The Cleghorns, the Randalls, the Russells and the Bucks — all in gome manner or other contrived to scrape acquaintance with him. These social overtures, mude first out of sheor cutiosity and in most instances fuspired by the women, opened to Matt a nwmber of pleasant, if somewhait st and old fashioned, households And he was led tinaily into the estray imce of buying evening clothes and began to ent a modest diash in Mana- sWin society It wasu't the best society, however fhere wus an upper crust still, to which the Cleghorns, the | lails, the Russells and the Bucks were as houris outside the gates. In this higher realm were the Marshalls, the old geueral ter, who rode thorough- bred horses and lived within a vast | park: the Derwents, owners of the | shoe factories; the Bells, and others- QUILK, Tike a good Chap™ *l wish yon would tell me what you're talking about,” excinimed Matt, growing impatient, *Is your oflice in a lunatic asyhim or where?” *Then you haven't seen it?" asked Mr Maynard, offended and inceredu- ‘ons, searching the younger man's face. “Seen what “The big front page Sunday story of the Cluarion—the New York Daily Clarion " "0 course | haven't.” The editor, recovering his good na- | tvre. drew a newspaper from his over- ey Dy i ! b5 NUWAY TAILOR SHOP And Pressing Club Pressing and alteration; ladles’ work a specialty.

Matt had scarcely reached the oml: when there was a violent commotion | outside—horses galloping, men descend- | ing excitedly, the porch shaking with | the tramp of feet, and pull, pull, pull at the bell us though the house were ! on fire. A second later a crowd of | newspaper men and photographers | surged into the room, spattering the carpet with mud and snow; a noisy, | Jostling throng in heavy overcoats, all | demanding “the Kanaka king" “Me first, gentlemen,” cried May- nard, grabbing Matt as though he were a bale of goods. *The king's mine till noon!" “The dickens he is!" exclaimed one of the mob, elbowing up to Matt “We're all in on this, aren't we, boys?" “You het we are,” came from a dozen ready the Matt rose, speechless with rage, and, tearing himselt clear, strode to the door and up to his bedroom. Here with a bang he locked himself in, the whole pack pounding at his beels like school boys after a runaway “I'm not a king,” he ronred through | at them “There's not a word of truth in that fdiotic arvticle. The first fellow that breaks down my door will get his head punched!” It was fully half an hour before they descended, disheartened and growling, to bundle into their sleighs and depart. “Three hoots for the King!™ eried one of them, trying to lead off, but his sngeestion met with no response, and the jingling bells drowned his solitary eftort. A little Iater there was a shuffling, | lumbering sound outside Matt's door, ' { and Hoyt's husky voice came through the keyhole “Shay, ole man, you aren't ancry with me, are you? Good joke. Dresh it up a bit and git Af* dollarsh! Didn't mean any harm-—shole and honor.didn't menn any harm. Great pewspaner stufl, shat story.

It has also, of course, its| drawbacks. When the Banner raised| Matt to kingship Manaswun was thrfl:-' ed. but not altogether surprise , and | requesting them to remit him the $4..! [ alle eadence of zood breeding an aristocracy of wealth and compact- Iy exclusive. The old general had been American minister to half the courts of Burope and was described as very “grand.” Matt enjoyed the homespun gayeties to which he was now so often invited— the candy pullings, the parties where they played games, the jolly sleighing rides and suppers, They offered him a wore enlivening companionship than he found in the bonrding house, which in contrast grew drearier every day till its fly specked walls took on the aspect of a morgue. But money was ebbing fast, and the arrival of spring Daggancourt's lengthening face all hastened his resolution to leave Manaswan and pay a fiying visit to Keniucky to spy out the land. The! mules were calling, and it was time for dreams to become realities! Dag- ; gancourt would have bought a pair’ in Manaswan, loaded their joint ef-| [ fects on 8 wagon and started off. But | Matt was not such a burner of bridges. | He would prudently inspect mule ter- ritory and mule conditions and then return with well formulated mule plans. | While nerving himself to depart and putting it off from day to day on one | excuse or another, he wrote to Snood ! & Hargreaves, the San Francisco! ! jewelers, saying that he had made up his mind to part with the ring and 500 by express, deducting whatever in- terest had accrued. 1t was not with- ! | out a pang that he dropped this letter into the hox, It marked the knell of those ensy going days at Mrs, Sat- tane’s It had now to be mules in ear- | nest, with hard work and frugal living and evening clothes put away perhaps forover ITe spun ont his farewell ealls, dilly- | he!d back all he could, but st ot he fnexorable morning arrived Dareanconrt was there in an automo- i Mot suit case, paeked bursting, | on the poreh, tocether with brown paper package of the | ITis pockets bulved with ! lied bofled eges and sandwiches, and never wis a man more apparently des- | tined for instant departure- when the ! telephone bell suddenly rang and Brid- ' set came rushing out to say that Mr ied, stood reudy overilow Doty wanted Mr Broughton on the wire | At the moment it seemed an intol- erable infliction. Mr. Doty was a clergyman, a mild creature of an anx- fous cordiality. whose acquaintance with Matt was of the slizhtest. Matt took up the receiver with the inten ! tion of making short work of the rev erend gentleman, an intention empha- sized by the honk of Vietor's horn, im- perions!y bidding him to hurry “Iello,” be said “Oh, Mr., Bronghton," returned Doty, “this is just to remind you of our church tomorrow night, tickets 25 cents. including hat check, and to say | simply cannot take a re fusal. Please tell me that you will come.” “Come!" eried Matt. “Why, I'm leav ing this minute for Kentucky!" “Put it off, then” protested Doty “l have a special reason a very spe- clal reason—for wishing yon to come Indeed, 1 must make my request im- perative. Oh, Mr. Brouchton, refuse me if you like, but do not say no to one of the sweetest and most gracious of onr young patricians.” “Can't help it," exclaimed Matt curtly. “Sorry to disappoint you, but really”— “Marn't T try to persuade you, Mr Broughton? said a new voice in his enr-a wirlish voice with the indeserib- “I've been connting so mnch on meeting yon tomorrow nizht-in fact, 1 only agreed to eome for that reason™ Mat 1tt's social wn tone softened. “Do tell me who yvon are™ he asked “T onehin't even to wait for that, but I'm too fiattered not to” “I'm o Miss Marshall she replied, 4 U Marshall's daughter, von k or 1 suppose you don't know thoneh™— “Miss Marshall!™™ eried Matt, dazzled at the name. *1 had no idea | was talking nrels nnawares Of course I know von in a faroff, eat look ng at king sort of way.
