CHAPTER I.
What's In a NameT
To possess two distinctly alien red
VorpuHCIes In one's blood, metaphor
ically If not In fact, two characters or
Individualities under one epidermis,
Is, In most cases, a peculiar disadvan
tage. Ono beurti of 6coundrcl3 and
saints striving to consume ono an
other In ono body, nngcls and bar
plea; but ofttlmcs, quite tho contrary
to being a curse, these two warrlnK
temperaments become a man's ulti
mate blessing: ns in tho caws of
Qeorgo P. A. Jones, of Mortimer &
ffonos, tho great metropolitan Oriental
tug and carpet company, all of which
hag a dignified, sonorous sound.
Oeorgo was divided within himself.
This ho would not havo confessed
oven Into tho trusted If battered ear
of tho Egyptian Sphynx. There was,
aowover, no demon-angel sparring for
points In Gcorgo's soul. Tho difficulty
might bo set forth In this manner:
On one sldo stood Inherent common
eonso; on tho other, a boundless, ro
seate Imagination which was like
wise Inherent a kind of qulxoto Imag
ination of Bultnble modern pattern.
This alter ego terrified him whenovdr
It raised Its Btrangely benutlful head
nnd shouldored asldo his guardian
angel (for that's what common sense
l3 arguo to what end you v. ill) and
plendcd In that luminous rhetoric un
der tho Bpoll of which our old friend
Sancho often fell asleep.
P. A., as they called him bohlnd tho
counters, was but twenty-eight, and if
be was vice-president In hlo lato fa
ther's shoos ho didn't wabble round
In them to any great extent. In a
crowd ho was not noticeable; ho
didn't stand hoad and shoulders abovo
hlo fellow-men, nor Svould he have
been mistaken by near-sighted per
'sons, tho myopes, for tho Vatican's
Apollo In tho flo6h. He wan of me
dium height, beardless, slender, but
tough and wiry and enduring. You
may seo his prototype on tho streets
a dozen times a day, and you may
Jso pass him without turning round
Tor a second view.- Young men like
P. A. must bo Intimately knqwn to
bo admired; you did not throw your
arm across hla neck, flrst-off. His
hair wbb brown and closely clipped
about a head that would havo gained
th attention of tho phrenologist, If
not that of the cmubI passer-by. Hia
bumps, In tho phraseology of that
science, wero good onoa. For tho rent.
He Haunted tho Romantic Quartsr
bo observed tho world through a pair
of kindly, shy, bluo eyes.
Young girls, myoplo through lgno
ranco or silliness, Beolng nothing be
yond what tho eyes see, seldom gavo
him a second Inspection; for ho did
not know how to make himself at
tractive and was mortally afraid of
the opposlto, or opposing sex. Ho
could bullyrag a sheik out of his cam
els' saddlo-baga, but petticoats and
Uoe parasols and small Oxfords had
tho samo effect upon him that the
prodding stick of a small boy baa
upon a retiring turtle. But many a
worldly-wlso woman, drawing out with
tact and kindness tho truly beautiful
thoughts of this young man's soul,
dly demanded of fate why a sweet,
clean boy like this ono had not been
Mot to her In her youth. You seo,
th worldly-wlso woman knows that
It Is invariably the lay-figure and not
Prinoe Charming that a woman mar
fries, and that matrimony Is blind
nan's buff In grown-ups.
Many of us lay tho blame upon our
jparents. Wo shift tho burden or won
daring why we havo this fault and
lack that grace to the shoulders of
our immediate forbears. We go to
tbt offlco each morning denying that
,we have any responsibility; we let
the boss do the worrying. But George
kevr went prospecting in his soul for
may such dross philosophy. He was
gr&Uful for having bad so beautiful
i - '
a mother; proud of having bad so
honest a Biro; and If either of them
had endued him with falso weights he
did hla best to even up the balance.
Tho mother had been as romantic
as any heroine out of Mrs. nadcliff'a
novels, while tho 'father had owned
to as much romance ns ono generally
finds In a thorough buslnesn man,
which Is practically none at nil. Tho
very name Itself is a bulwark against
tho Intrusions of romnnco. Ono can
not lift tho Imagination 'o tho pros
poet of picturing n Jones In ruffles
and hlghboolB, pinking n vnrlot In tho
midriff. It smells of RUgar-barrela and
cotton-balos, of nteatnshlps and rail
roads, of stolid roullno In the offlco
and of placid concorn over tho dally
news under tho evening Inmp.
Mrs. Jones, lovely, lettered yet not
worldly, bad dreamed of her boy,
bayed and decorated, marrying tho
most distinguished woman In all Eu
rope whoever she might bo. Mr.
Jones had had no dreams at all, and
hnd put tho boy to work in tho ship
ping department a llttlo whllo after
the collego threshold had been crossed,
outward bound. Tho mother, whllo
sweet nnd gentle, had a will, Iron un
der velvet, and when bUc held out for
Perclvnl Algernon nnd a decent knowl
edge of modern languages, tho old
man agreed If, on tho other hnnd,
tho boy's first namo should bo George
and that he should luutn tliu business
from the cellar up. Thoro vero sev
eral tilts over tho matter, but at
length a truco was declared. It was
agreed that tho boy hlmBolf ought to
have a word to say upon a subjoct
which concerned him more vitally
than any ono clso. So, nt tho ago of
fifteen, when ho was starting oft for
preparatory school, ho was advised
to choose for himself. Ho was an obe
dient eon, adoring his mother and idol
izing his fnther. Ho wroto himself
down as Georgo Perclval Algernon
Joneu, promised to bucomo a linguist
and to learn tho rug business from
the cellar up. On tho face of it, it
looked like a big Job; It all depended
upon tho boy.
Tho first day nt school hl jnlsrj
begun. Ho had 'signed himself ns
Georgo P. A. Jones, no small diplo
macy for a lad; but tho two Initials,
standing up like dismantled pines 1 i
tho midst of uninteresting landscape
roused tho curiosity of his school

Percy Algy, and not only tho boyB
laughed, but tho pretty girls snig
gered. Many a time he had returned
to his dormitory decorated (not In
accord with tho fond hopes of Ills
mother) with a swollen ear. or a
ruddy proboscis, or a green-brown
eye. There was a limit, nnd when
they stopped over that, why, ho pro
ceeded to the best of his ability to
solve tho difficulty with hla nets.
George was no rallkBop; but Perclvnl
Algernon would have been tho Old
Man of the Boa on broader shoulders
than hlB. Ho dimly realized that had
ho been named Qeorgo Henry William

plained. What was good enough for
his mother was good enough for him.
It seemed Just an ordinary mattor
of routine for him to pick up French
and German verbs. Ho was far from
being brilliant, but he waa sensitive
and his memory was sound. Binco
bis mother's ambition waa to bco him
an accomplished linguist, ho applied
himself to the task aa If everything
in tho world depended upon It, Just
as he know that when tho tlmo camo
he would apply himself as thoroughly
to the question of ruga and carpets.

pure strain of golden romance, sldo
by side with tho lesser metal of prac
ticality. When ho began to read tho
musters ho preferred their romances
to their novels. Ho even wroto poetry
In secret, and when his mother discov
ered tho fact she cried over tho senti
mental verses. The father had to bo
told. Ho laughed and declared that
tho boy would eomo day develop Into
a good writer of advertisements. This
quiet laughter, unburdened as It was
with ridicule, was enough to sot
George's muse o-wlnglng, and she
never came back.
After leaving college ho was given
a modest letter of credit and told to
go whero ho pleased for a whole year.
Georgo started out at onco In quest
of tho Holy Grail, nnd thero are more
roads to thnt than thero nro to Rome.
Ono may bo reasonably suro of get
ting Into Home, whereas the Holy
Grail (diversified, variable, Innumer
able) is always tho exact sum of a
bunch of hay hanging before old Dob
bin's nose. Nevertheless, Georgo gal
loped his fancies with loose rein. He
haunted romance, burrowed and
plowed for It; and never his spado
clanged musically against tho hidden
treasure novor a forlorn beauty In
distress, not somuch as chnpter one
of tho Golden Book offered Its daz
zling first page. Georgo lost some con
fidence. Two or threo times, a woman looked
into tho young man's mind, and in hi3
gullclesBness they effected sundry
holes In his letter of credit, but left
his soul singularly untouched. TIip
red corpuscle, his father's gift, though
It lay dormant, subconsciously erected
barriers. He was Innocent, but ho wns
no fool. That ono year taught him
tho lesson, rather cheaply, too. If
thero was any romance In life, It came
uninvited, nnd If courted nnd sought
wns ns qnlfk on tho wing ns thnt orst
whllo poesy must.
Tho year passed, nnd whllo ho hnd
not wholly given up tho quest, tho
practicnl Georgo agreed with tho ro
mantic Perclval to shelvo It indefi
nitely. Ho returned to Now York
with thirty-two pounds sterling out of
tho original thousand, a fact that reju
venated his paternal parent by soma
ten years.
"Jane, that boy la all right. Porcl
vol Algernon could not kill a boy like
thnt."
"Do you mean to infer that It ever
could?" Sometimes a qualm wrinkled
her conscience Her mother's heart
told her that her son ought not to be
shy and bashful, that it was not in
the nature of his blood to Buapect
rldlculo whero thero wns none. Per
haps sho had handicapped him with
those names; but It was too late now
to admit of this, and useless, slnco
It would not hnvo remedied tho evil.
Jones hemmed nnd hnwed for a
space. "No," he answered; "but I
wns afraid he might try to live up
to It; and no Porctval Algernon who
lived up to It could put Mb nose down
to a Shah Abbas and toll how many
knots It had to the square inch. Ill
start him in on the Job tomorrow."
Whereupon tho mother sat back
dreamily. Now, where was the girl
worthy of her boy? Monumental ques
tion, besetting evory mother, from Eve
down. Eve, whose trials In this direc
tion must havo been heartrending!
George loft tho cellar In duo time
nnd after that ho went up tho ladder
In bounds, on his own merit, mind
you, for his father never stirred a
hnnd to boost him. Ho took tho in
terest In rugs thnt turns a buyer into
a Icollector; It became a fascinating
pleasure rather than a business. He
became Invnluablo to tho house, and
acquired somo fnmo as a Judgo mid
an nppralsor. When the chief-buyer
retired Georgo waa given tho position.

Greece, Turkey, Persia, Arabia, and

Ho walked and alwnys In a kind of

Tho Riiavn nnd 1uhIv Orlontnl,
with his Bhnrp practices, found his
mutch In this pleasant young man,
who know tho history of tho very
wools nnd cottonB nnd silks woven
In a rug or carpot. So George ptob
pored, beenmo known in strange
places, by strnngo peoples; and saw
romance, light of foot nnd eager of
eye, pass nnd repass; learned that
lomanco did not essentially mean fall
ing In lovo or rescuing maidens from
burning Iioubor and wrecks; that, on
tho contrary, true romnnco wns kalei

Tho proper tale of how the afore
said Iridescent goddess Jostled (for it
scarce maj bo said that she led) him
Into n romance lacking neither com
edy nor tragedy, now begins with a
trilling bit of retrospection. Ono of
those women who were not good nnd
who looked into tho clear pool of tho
boy's mind saw tho harmless longing
there, nnd made note, hoping to find
profit by her knowledge when the per
tinent day arrived. Sho was a woman
so pleasing, so handsome, so adroit,
that many u mn, older and wlsr
than George, found her mesh too
strong for him. Her plan matured,
suddenly and brilliantly, as projects
of men and women of her class and
caliber without variation do.
Lato ono December afternoon (to
bo precise, 10G9), George sat on tho
tea-veranda of tho Hotel Semlramls
in Cairo. A book lay idly upon his
knees. It..wnB one of Uiomj yams
In which something was happening
every other minute As adventures
go, Georgo had never had a real one
In nil his twenty-eight years, nnd ho
believed that fato had treated him
rather shabbily. Ho didn't quite ap
preciate her reserve No matter how
lato ho wandered through tho mysteri
ous bazaars, elthor hero In Egypt or
over yonder In India, nothing ever be
fell moro exciting than an" argument
with u carrluge-drlver. Ho never cur
ried small-arms, for ho would not
havo known how to uso them. Tho
only deadly things in his hands wore
bass-rods nnd tennis-racquets. No,
nothing ever happened to him; yet
ho never met a man In a ship's smoke
room who hadn't run the gamut of
thrilling experiences. As George
wasn't a liar himself, ho believed all
ho saw and most of what he heard.
Well, hero ho was, eight and-twenty,
a pocket full of money, n heart full
of life, nnd ns hopeless nn outlook, so
far as romanco.and adventure were
concerned, as an old maid In a New
England lllngo. '
"George, you old fool, what's the
uso?" ho thought "What's tho uso
of a desire thnt nevr gcvg in a
straight line, but nlwaya round and
round in a circle?"
He thrust aside his grievance and
surrendered to tho never-ending won
der of tho Egyptian sunset; the Nilo
feluccas, riding upon perfect reflec
tions; tho date-palms, black and mo
tionless against the translucent bluo
of tho sky; the amethystine prisms of
tho Pyramids, and the deepening gold
of tho desert's brim. Ho loved the
Orient, always ho new, always so
strange, yet ever so old and familiar.
A carrlago stopped In front, nnd hlB
gnzo naturally shifted. Thoro la ceabe

new-comers In a hotel, what they are,
what they do, whero they come from,

thero waa a suggestion of militarism.

young woman of twenty, certainly not

who were stopping nt tho hotel.
