As you see, it coucerns | my entire family. That is why we are | all here to discuss it.” Mr. James Brownson made a sweep- ing gesture with his right arm. The circle included a small group of men and women arranged about the room, | half a dozen m‘n[\!e of varied ages and descriptions. “It is the greatest event | in a woman's life—hes marriage—so | | You must not wonder at our delibera- | ,tiun \ou are thirty years of age, I elieve?” Wayne shifted in his chair. \ “Yes,” he said quietly, He was | rather weary of the proceedings, al- though, for the sake of the girl, he was willing to make certain conces- sions to the claims and prejudices of her family. “Yes, T am thirty.” “Thirty! And what have you done Wwith yourself?” Mr. Brownson looked at the young man squarely and aggres- sively, “Done?” Wayne langhed a little. “Why, I think the principal thing— yes, the greatest thing—I have done is to love your daughter!” He looked at the girl as he said it. } She was sitting very quietly next to | her mother. Mr. Brownson went on without not- ing the reply he had made, quite as if it were of too trivial a mnature, “You are possessed of a large in- come. Fortunately, my daughter does not require it; nor, at the same time, can we say you have ulterior motives in seeking her hand.” Wayne bowed. Mr. Brownson raised a protesting hand “You love my daughter—good! But | what have yvou done with your life? | Thirty vears of age, and what have | you oy shed?" | Wi : looked up frankly. “I don’t know of anything in par- | ticular,” he said. “but I suppose 1 shall | do something—perhaps.” § | “You have occupied your time prin- cipally with frivolities and idleness!"” Mr. Brownson came out at last with his long-suppressed sentiment. He looked about him. “I have asked my ! sisters and brothe and also Mrs. ownson's only 1 this matter dise a gerions erions peopl thter ! ne looked rely into the eyes ! hoped atherinlaw, | “Mav 1 your daughter, Mr. | Brownson Mr. Brownson fidzeted | “One moment, please,” 1y, i | | | ac L of his v he said mild- | “This is a serious question, and | we are, as 1 said before, serious peo- le. 15 [ lake it, are not a seri- | ous man.

Do vou think it would be wise for a parent to trust his child to you The relatiy odded their heads and looked at their folded hands. Mrs. | Brownson raised her handkerchief to her cyes. Wayne looked them all over, from | Browason himself at the head, to the little fu individual, a nervous { aunt, at the end. He marveled that Cicely could have come of such peo- rle. Certainly, she could not follow the bent of her pompous old father, nor yot t of her who was just now, eling in the thought of her child crushed under the wheel of his big white car, or drowned somewhere in the bottom of the sea. The others were quite impossible, Mrs. Brownson began to cry and audibly. | “Jennie!™ Mr. Brownson raised his ‘h'mt] Mrs. Brownson did not see the she it Now, vision until er father, | hand; but she w it was there, for she instantly ¢ ed. “Cicely, \\hnt‘ have you to say? | The girl had been looking quietly | | » tips of her finge ged her i d the ¢ of s of 1 imply and without the f emotion or hysteria, settled in her couneils W ayne | sobbed | is quite im re they?

These are probably negative vir- tues, but they're the best I have, all but the bizgest and the greatest of them all, loving Cicely.” The relatives looked at each other gingerly. The maiden aunt felt some- what shocked. Mr. Brownson felt the responsiveness of the circle. “That is very well,” he breathed heavily, “but we are a serious family, and negative virtue is too—well, too In Telegram ing Coolest and i the Oty in Running Wat n Each Room Call av TELEGRAM OFFICE ;i3 i ? z F or (;ood Dry ETOVE W3OOD Phone 2C1-Rued r18 We wiil do the rest. stract to satisfy.” “Then. what T need is seriousness ' § of purm\so"‘ | ird s W.J.
