Who was he, to be calling on aristocratic young ladies and whis- pering things in pretty pink ears? He whose fortune amounted to less than $4,500 and who had need to strive very energetically to keep his own somewhat large red ears above the en gulfing waters. His business was in- dubitably mules—not to linger in fools' b . j “Yes, son, that is a good haircut. 1 have my | work done there. 1 will haye mother to take Wary to have her hair bobbed.

But he did not wish to appear rude. He would hate to have his action misconstrued. He would go at 4 after all, and if the occasion pre- sented itself would tell her the truth quite frankly—that he had hardly any money, no profession, and a long, up- hill fight in front of him. Though how {diotic he was to take it all serlously— himself and her and the whole affair— as though it were any more than a passing flirtation. It was just the in curable way he had of exaggerating everything—of making mountains out of molehills, He laughed at himself a little forlornly. What an ass he was, to be sure! What an ass! After breakfast he made it up hand- somely with Daggancourt, expatiating on mules with much ardor and enthn siasm and gradually recovering the mulatto’s sorely shaken confidence. He proved his sincerity by promising to leave for Kentucky on the morrow. They shook hands on it, and any lurk- Ing grudge that Victor might still have felt disappeared in that hearty clasp But there was still a weight on the mulatto’s mind.

He had kept better tally on the dates than Matt. It was exactly twenty-four days gince the latter had written, a long while surely. Victor asked for the re ceipt and examined it closely. “That's all right as far as it goes.” he said handing it back with a relieved ex pression, “though they don't have to buy the ring if they don't want to or change their minds.” “If people like Snood & Hargreaves offered $5,500 for_the ring it's pretty i w9 - Brokerage--Real Estate TELL US WHAT YOU HAVE TO sELL 'WE WILL TRY T FIND A BUYER TELL US WHAT YOU WANT Ty BUY wan.:.nnomnunmg-.; Rooms 6 and 7, DEEN & BRYANT|Building Laxkeland B £ Florida PERSONOF SOME IMPORTANCE "LLOYD 05 He thinks of going Into the | about Y By BOURNE Cepyright. 1911, by the Bobbs-Merrill Company. gure To To- WM TR Topoed - Tatt. “Lven If they backed out we could sell it somewhere else." “Yes, that's true.” said Victor, recov- ering his cheerfulness, “*and maybe for a better price, considering you took the first bid they made.

For once Matt was eager for Mrs. Sattane, and when at length she appeared he was very agreeable and friendly, drawing up beside her, with his pipe, instead of dropping off the end rail, as he ordi- narily would have done. After a few false starts he got her on the subject of the Marshalls, and, though as a nar rator she was as uncertain as a rabbit and apt to give conversational jumps in the most random directions, Matt always contrived to bring her back and running again in the way’ he would have her go. The general when a young cavalry officer, hardly indeed more than a boy, had made a runaway match with a Miss Koenig of Philadelphia, who was 8o rich thai people used to call her Miss Kilmanseeez. He had thereupon given up the army and taken to law instead and from law had graduated Into politics and congress. After seven or eight vears his wife had died, leaving him with two little boys, who were now middle aged men, one a traveler and writer of some reputation and the other an fronmaster on the lnkes, with a railrond of his own and fleets of ships. The general had taken his bereavement terribly to heart and for awhile went all to pleces until his friends made interest for him and had him appointed minister to some far- away and Insignificant post, more with the idea of benefiting him by the change of scene than launching him into what was to be a distingnished career. He rose rapidly, was constant- Iy promoted and was one of the first American ambassadors when that grade was fnaugurated by President McKinley. In the meanwhile he had married ngain, losing his second wife many years later In a carriage aceident His daughter, Christine, had narrowly escaped the same fute, and for several years had been a helpless invalid, no- body ever thinking she would be well azain. But at last she recovered, and Wis as strong as most girls, or strong er, to judze from the daring way she rode and her much talked of rli;!-ns on skis. On the Spanish war breaking out, Marshall had thrown diplomacy to the winds, and returned to Connectient to Belp organize the state's quota for the national defense, receiving Lis com- wission as a brigadier general of vol- unteers, and earning much local re- nown by his energy ang patriotism, It was not his fault that the enrolled citizens never saw g Spaniard, or burned anything more deadly than mosquito powder. The plenie stage stag was hardly past before the war was over and the general reappointed to his former post. Since then he had definitely retired, more on his daugh- ter's account than his own, It was said, to let her see something of her own people, and marry in her own land, his regard for courts and court life being none of the best. He kept up three establishments— one In Washington, another at Bar Harbor, and the third, his big, com- fortable old colonial house at Fair Oaks. about four miles gut of Mana- swan—moving from one to another as the humor seized him. ‘Fair Oaks was bis favorite, as he had owned it ever since his first marriage, and had pever (Contiaued on Page 6.)
