Kathryn never glanced to right or left, passing through the long rotunda of the hotel Ahead of her was her mother, per- sonally conducted, as usual, by hall boys and three maids, There had been the usual ar- gument about the dogs, the usual ar- gument about the gouthern exposure and the maids’ rates. Kathryn hated every little detall She had héard it all over Eu- of it. rope, and now they were back in New York after two years, it would be just There would be several hours of talk after they were settled in their room, all the old reproaches would be gone over, and their ex- penses, and the alarming decrease quarterly in the income from the west. 1t would end with the passionate dec- laration that the fate of the whole family was in Kathryn's hands, and if she didn’t marry money pretty soon, something would snap under the strain. “Let it snap,” Kit would say, calmly. “Nobody wants this mad whirl but you, mumsie. I'd be perfectly con- tented to stay out home where we be- long. You're using up every last cent Uncle Peter left us trying to marry me off, and 1 won’t be a speculation for anybody. I want to fall in love, I want to have every last earthly thrill that all the poets have gone mad about. Ien't there anything in it at all? Weren't you in love, mumsie?” “Heaven help me, yes, my dear, I was,” Mrs. Burroughs would say with portentous warning. “You know Punch’s advice. I would change it. He said to persons about to be married, ‘Don’t.’” 1 say to persons about to fall in love, ‘Don’t’ Love is nature's trap. 1 think 1 may eafely say that civiliza- tion has built a protected right of way roundabout it. Do you know why I am taking you to the Langhorne?” Kit glanced up from her pile of mail. There was a curious light in her eyes, a little happy smile hovering on her lips. “] don’t care where we go 8o long as we're back in New York again.” “Prince Waldemar preceded us by one boat. He will be here for six months, right here, Kit, at this same hotel, and you know he was perfectly mad about you. He trailed us all over Euyrope last winter—" “Yes, he did. Why? Because you and old Lady Varic epread the report that we were awfully rich, and he was after the money. He wouldn't have cared, mumsie, whether it had been you or myself, just as long as he got a good grip on poor dad’s gold sacks. I've just had a letter from Ben and he's coming east on some business “Kathryn, shall you see him here, Ben Colby?” Kathryn nodded her head amusedty. “Right here, bless him, and won't 1 be glad to see him after the varied as- sortment of men we've been treated to on the continent? Mumsie, you would never be cross with Ben. Why, he’s been with us ever since we had' the old lodging shack for the boys up above the mines ten years ago.” Ben arrived the week after they crossed the ocean. Mrs. Burroughs had gone calling with the prince. “Oh, Ben, 1 wish you'd been with me,” she said, holding both of her hands out to his eager grasp. “Lord, it's good to look at you, Kit. They haven't spoiled you, have they? Do you mind my coming to see you?” “If you hadn’t, Ben Colby, just if you hadn't!” she laughed back. ‘“Where are you stopping?” “Why, er—with friends,” sald Ben guardedly. ‘“Seeme good to see the old town.” “l didn’t know you had been here before.” “I lived here, about six years ago. You know I left the camp twice to come back east. That was when it was. “It's a bit different now, girlle, though. I've struck it rich out yon- der. You know the old claims, 20 of them, that went with the Creighton deal, and everybody laughed at me for buying. Well, it looks like radium. I'm not letting go of my interests. They've formed a company, and pald cash so far. Will you be my partner, Kit?” And Kit looked up at the dear boy- ish face that she had dreamt of on the other side, and carried in her heart of hearts. Somehow it all seemed part of the Maytime, and the calling birds around them, and the tender green everywhere. Would she go back to Nevada? Ben caught the look in her eyes, and right there he took her in his arms. Kit was dressing for dinner when Mrs. Burroughs came back from a tea. “My dear,” she began, meanfully, “my dear, I have news. I heard this afternoon at Mrs. Cruger Colby’s that Ben Colby is her grandson. He threw up society and went out west for fun and adventure. Now he's made a for- tune, she says. 1 do hope, dear heart, that you have not written anything hasty or unkind to dear old Ben.” “Mumsie, you precious fraud, you,” laughed Kit. “You're a dear old weather vane, and 1 can look right through you. I told Ben I'd marry him { this afternoon.” sl R S A B i B AR SRR R m B R L e R DR e B A S s S e R B At et RV L P e T T e S e D R AND, FLA., MARCH 30, 1914. POOR PETER'S NEW INN By BELLE K. MANIATES. Katherine Demar was heart-whole but not fancy free. Her romances had been gathered from books and dreams, as she had grown up under the strictest of surveillance by a puri- tanical father. When she was nine- teen years of age a great change came in her fortunes. Her father died sud- denly, insolvent. A far-removed cous- in gave the young daughter board and lodgings, but the houschold was of an entirely different type from the class of people among whom the young girl had been breought up. After the lapse of a year she determined to seek employment that would enable her to change her environment. She was on the point of carrying this into effect when she received a visit from a for- mer friend of her father, Peter Wes- ley, a man of wealth and prominence. He had been in a distant part of the country at the time of Austin De- mar's death, and had not known of the almost destitute circumstances in which Katherine had been left. “Katherine,” he said very gently, “I love you dearly, and I am asking you to marry me without the hope that my affection is returned. But if you will only consent, 1 will give you all the luxuries to which you have been accustomed and a man's -protection. Consider the difference between & sheltered, luxurious life, and the buf- feting of a workingwoman's existence for which you are not fitted.” It did not take Katherine long to de- cide. She accepted the life of ease and married Peter who was forty-five years of age and quite unlike her girl- ish ideals. They went to Paris for two months. Upon their return to Wesley's town house, the young bride, beautiful, wealthy and accomplished, was so feted and sought after that her head was completely turned. Peter, big and noble of heart, con- tinued to worship from afar and plan for her pleasures and happiness. Their trend of life ran in opposite directions. Katherine gave herself entirely to so- cial pleasures, and Peter, who was a philanthropist, began to interest him- self in promoting the candidacy of a governor who he knew would bring about needed legislation. One day at a dinner some one spoke casually to Katherine of her husband's pet hobby being reclized. “What is that?" she asked. “Pol- itics.” “Oh, no!" was the reply. “I re- ferred to the inn for self-supporting women that he established, you know." “Yes,” said Katherine vaguely, as she hastened to change the subject. “It's very bad taste,” she acknowl- edged to herself on the way home, “to be so ignorant of what one's husband is doing. I must get posted.” The next morning an item regarding the new inn caught her attention and recalled her ignorance on the subject. “I'll go there this morning and find out about it,” she decided. She stopped on the way to spend a few moments at an exhibition of pictures. She was in an alcove when she overheard Peter's name men- tioned. She recognized the voices of an elderly couple who were friends of her husband. “Poor Peter!" the woman was say- ing. *I always feared he would get Just the type of a wife he has.” Katherine fled, her cheeks flushed. “The idea of their pitying Peter!” she thought, “when every one says he was so fortunate to win me.” A very young and very pretty girl opened the door of the new inn when Katherine rang “T am Mrs. Wesley,” she said af- fably. “I wonder if T might be per- mitted te zo through the inn.” “Oh, of course!"” exclaimed the girl. “I will be €0 glad to show you through. I have a day off. 1 am glad it hap- pened today as 1 have so wanted to see yQu." Katherine followed into a dainty lit- tle room furnished in blue and white “Isn’t this lovely?" gushed the girl. “I've been cooped up for two years in hall bedrooms, and to get in a place like this! Well, it's some living!" “May I sit down and talk to you?" asked Katherine. “Sure!” “I want to know all about the place. Whose idea it was and how it is sup- ported, its object.” “Hasn't Mr. Wesley asked the girl. “He doesn’t like to talk about the things he does,” evaded Katherine. “I want to hear it from you.” “You know he is terribly interested in working girls and their lives, and he's always thought of a place like this where they could pay just what they would at a boarding house and yet have all these comforts and lux- uries and not be on charity. Mr. Wes- ley planned it and started the list of contritutors with ten times more than any one else gave.” “l must go.” said Katherine finally. “I have enjoyed this little visit, and I'll come often.” The next night Peter came home on a late train. He went into the lit- tle breakfast room where he was wont to find his glass of milk awaiting him. When he opened the door, he started in amazement. A fire crackled in the fireplace. On the table was a shaded light. Bending over a coffee percola tor was Katherine. “Oh, Peter,” she said shyly, coming up to him “I thought you'd like something hot, so I have lighted the percolator, and you can help me make the toast.” told you?” BATILE FOR WORLD'S RACQUET CHAMPIONS petight J/n wosd & Und George Covey (left), professional racquet champion of Great Britain, ap Jay Gould (right), amateur champion of America, contestants for the world ohamplonship at Philadelphia. gnmmm g DOUBLE CERTIFICATE DAY AT QUR STORE % WILL BE WEDNESDAY OFIEACHIWEEK.
