At |the end of the six years no murder trial, coaching party, automobile ac cident or cotillion was complete in which the name of Robert Walmsley 4i@ not figure, Tailors waylaid him jin the street to get a new wrinkle from the cut of his unwrinkled trous- Hyphenated fellows in the clubs and members of the oldest subpor. naed families were gtad to clap him on the back and allow him three let ter of his name. Hut the Matterhorn of Robert Waimstey’s success waa not scaled unti! he married Alicia Van Der Pool I cite the Matterhorn, for ju high andfcoo! and white and inacces sible was this daughter of the old burghers. The social Alps that ranged about her—over whose bleak passes a thousand climbers strugeied reached only to her knees, She towered in her own atmosphere, ne rene, chaste, prideful, wading In no fountains, dining no monkeys, breed. ing no dogs for tench shows. She was a Van Der Pool, Fountains were made to play for her; monkeys were made for other people's ancestors: dogs, she understood, were created to be companions of blind persons and objectionable characters who sinoked pipes. This was the Matterborn that Rob ert Walmsley accomplished. If he found, with the good poet with the meme foot and artificially curied hair, that he who ascends to mountain tops will find the loftiest peaks most wrapped in clouds and snow, be con- cealed his chilblains beneath a brave and emiling exterior. He was 4 lucky man and knew it, even though he were Imitating the Spartan bey with an jcecream freezer beneath his dou. diet, frappeing the region of his heart. After @ brief wedding tour abroad, the couple returned to create a de cided ripple in the calm cistern (so placid and cool and suniess it in) of the best society. They entertained at their red brick mansoleum of ancient greatness in an old square that is « cemetery of crumbled glory. And Robert Walmaley was proud of his wife; altho w! one of his hands shook his guests’ the other held tightly to his alpenstock and ther- mometer. One day Alicta found a letter writ upen y strug remodeled. him to the THE SEA ten to Robert by his mother @n Unerudite letter, full of crops herty nd farm notes Hicled the health of the pig the recent red calf, and axked con cerning Robert's in return, It was etter direct from the soll, straight home, full of biographies of ten, tales of turnips, pacans of new laid exes, ne slump in dr “Why have I not been shown your mother’s letters?” aaked Alicia, There was always something in her voice that made you think of lorgnettes, ot ounte at Tif Inew xmoothly gliding on the trail from Dawson to Forty Mile, of the tinkling of pendant priama on your grand mothers’ chandeliers, of «now lying & convent roof; of a police ser geant refusing bail, “Your mother,” continued Alicia, “myites ys to make a visit to the farm. We wilt go there for a week or two, Robert.” “We will,” maid Robert, with the grand air of an associate supreme | Justice concurring in an opinion, “I | did not lay the invitation before you because I thought would not care to go. I am much pleased at your decision.” “I will write to her myself,” an swered Alicia, with a faint fore shadowing of enthusiagn. “Felice shall pack my trunks at once. Seven I think, will be enough.

Robert arose, and as attorney for rural places filed a demurrer against |aix of the seven trunks, He endeay ored to define, picture, elucidate, set forth and describe @ farm. His own words sounded strange in his ears, He had not realized how thoroly urbsidized he had become A week passed and found them landed at the little country static five hours out from the city. A krinning, stentorian, mrcaetic youth triving a mule to & spring wagon hailed Robert mvagety and It and love nite and the you Yound your way back at last, have you?
