A Llttlo Business Talk. IF tho captain heard Stopbcn'a fer vent ejaculation ho paid no atten tion to it Dropping his nleco's hand, he extended hi3 own toward his nephew, "And thlo la Stephen?" ho said. "Well, Stovo, you and mo havo never met afore, I b'llevc. But that's our misfortune, not our fault, hoy? How aro you pretty nmart?" Tho boy's faco wbb flaming. Ho mum bled something to tho effect that ho Vns all right enough nnd turned away ivitbout accepting tho proffered hand. Cuptaln Elijah glanced quickly at him, then at his sister. "Well, Caroline," ho said pleasantly, "I B'poso you'vo been expcctbV me. Mr. Graves told you I was comin', didn't ho?" MJbs Warren also was flushed with embarrassment and mortified surprise. "No," she stammered. "Ho ha3 been ill." "Sho, you don't sayl So you didn't know I was comhi' at all." "No. Wo wo havo not heard from you slnco ho returned." "That's too bad. I hopo I shan't put you out any, droppln' in on you this way. You muatn't treat mo as com p'ny, you know. If 'tnhi't convenient, It your spare room ain't ready so Boon after luovlu', or anything of that kind, I can go to a hotel somowhero for a day or bo. Hadn't I better, don't you think?" Caroline hesitated. If only they might hayo been spared this public humiliation! If tho Dunns had not been thorol It was had enough to havo this dreadful country uucio como at all, but to havo him come now, before they were prepared, before any expla nations had been mado! What Bbould oho do? Her brother, fidgeting at her elbow, not daring to look at Malcolm Dunn, who he knew was thoroughly enjoying the scene, could stand it no longer. "Caro," ho euapped, "what aro you waiting, for? Don't yon know that tho rooms are not rendy? Of course thoy'ro notl We're sorry and all that, hut Graves flldn't tell us, uud wo aren't prepared. Certainly he'll hnve to go to tho hotel for for tho present." no ventured to ralao his eyes and glare Indignantly at tho captain. Find ing tho latter looking intently nt him he dropped them again and Jammed fcjs attached fl?ts into his pockets. 3tS CAP'N WARREN GETS A COLD RECEPTION AT THE HANDS OF HIS YOUNG WARDS Atwood Graves, Now York lawyer, goes to South Dcnsboro, Capo Cod, to see Coptnln Ellsha Warren. Caught in a terrific storm whllo on tho way, ho meets Cap'n Warren by accident nnd goes with tho lat ter to his home. The lawyer Informs Cap'n Warren that his brother, whom he had not seen for eighteen years, has died and named him us guardian of his two children, Caroline aged twenty, and Stephen, aged nineteen. The captain tells Graves ho will go to New York and look over tho situation beforo deciding whether ho will accept the trust. Tho captain's arrival In Now York causes consternation among his wards and their aristocratic friends. 3: Captain Ellsba pulled thoughtfully at his beard. "numpb!" ho grunted. "Humph 1 Then I cal'lato maybe" Ho took a step toward tho door, stopped, turned back and said with calm decision: "I gues3 I'd better stay. You won't mind me, Caroline you nnd Stephen. You mustn't. As I said, I ain't comp'ny. I'm one of tho family, your pa's broth er, and I'vo como some consldcr'blo ways to seo you two young folks nnd talk with you. I'vo come becauso your pa asked mo to. I'm used to roughln' It, been to sen a good many v'yages, and If a feather bed ain't handy I can get ray forty winks on tho floor. So that's settled, and you mustn't have mo on your conscience, Hiat's sense, ain't It, Mrs. Dunn?" Mrs. Corcoran Dunn did not deign a reply. Caroline answered for her. "Very well," sho said coldly. Step ping to tho desk she rang a bell. Tho butler appeared in tho doorway. "Edwards," said Miss Warren, "this gentleman," indicating the captain, "is to bo our guest for tho present. You may show him to his room tho bluo room, I think. If It is not ready boo that It Is mado so." "Yes, Miss Caroline," replied Ed wards. Retiring to tho hall, ho return ed with tho suit case. "Will you wish to go to your room at once, sir?" ho asked. "Why, I guess I might as well, com modore," answered Captain Elisha, smiling. "Little soap and water won't do no harm. Fact Is, I feel's if 'twas a prescription to bo recommended. You needn't toto that valise, though," ho added. " 'Taln't heavy, and I'vo lugged it bo fur already senco I got off tho car that I feel kipd of lonesomo without It." Tho butler, not knowing exnetly how to answer, grinned sheepishly. Captain Ellshn turned to Mrs. Dunn and her sou. "Well, good afternoon, ma'am," ho said. "I'm real glad to havo mndo your acquaintance. Yours, too, sir," with a nod toward Malcolm. "Your mother told me what a friend of the young folks you was and, as I'm sort of actln' pilot for 'em just now, In a way of speakln any friend of theirs ought to he a friend of mine. Hopo to see you often, Mr. Dunn." The young man addressed smiled, with amusement not nt all concealed, and languidly admitted that ho was "charmed." When tho captain finally departed, preceded by Edwards and tho suit case, Stephen Warren threw himself violently into a chair by tho window. Young Dunn laughed aloud. His moth er flashed an Indignant glanco nt him and then hurried to Caroline. "You poor dear!" sho exclaimed, put ting an arm about tho girl's shoulder. "Don't mind us, please don't. Mal colm and I understand that Is, wo know how you feel and" "Oh, but you don't know, Mrs. Dunn," cried Caroline, almost In tears. "Yoij don't understand. It's so much worse than you think. I I Oh, why did father do It? How could ho be so Inconsiderate?" "There, there 1" purred tho friend of tho family, "You mustn't, you know. You really mustn't. Who Is this man? This undo? Whoro does ho come from? Why does ho force himself upon you in this way? I didn't know your poor father had a brother." "Neither did' we," growled Stephen savagely. Malcolm laughed again. "What docs it all mean, dear?" begged Mrs. Dunn. "You are In trou ble, I'm sure. Don't you think wo "What does it all mean, dear?" Malcolm and I might be ablo to help you? Wo should bo love to do It If you feel that you can confldo In us, It it isn't a secret" She paused expectantly, patting tho girl's shoulder. But Caroline had heard young Dunn's laugh and waa of fended aud hurt Her eyes flashed as alio answered. "It'a nothing," sho said. "Ho has como to seo us on a matter of business, 1 believe. I am nervous and foolish, I suppose. Mr. Graves w'lll sco us soon, and then everything will bo ar ranged. Thank you for calling, Mrs. Dunn, nnd for tho ride." It was a very plain hint, but Mrs. Dunn did not chooso to understand It as ntich, "You're ouro you hadn't hotter tell mo tho wholo story, dear?" sho urged. "1 am old enough almost to be your i mother, and perhaps my advlco might No? Very well. You know best, but You understand that It Is something other than mcro curiosity which leads mo to ask." "Of course, I understand," said tho girl hastily. "Thank you very much. Ferhaps by and by I can tell you ev erything. But wo must seo Mr. Graves first I oh, don't ask mo more now, Mrs. Dunn." Tho widow of so astute n politician as Mlko Dunn had been In his day could havo scarcely failed to profit by his teachings. Moreover, sho possessed talent of her own. With a final pat and a kiss sho prepared for departure. After tho pair had been shown out by Edwards, on tho way homo In tho car Mrs. Corcoran Dunn lectured her son severely. "Havo you no common sense ?" sho demanded. "Couldn't you sco that tho girl would havo told mo everything if you hadn't laughed llko an idiot?" Tho young man laughed again. "By Jove!" ho exclaimed, "It was enough to mako n wooden Indian laugh. The old jay with the barnacles telling us about tho advantages of a sailor's life. And Stove's face! Ho, ho!" His mother snorted disgust "Was It necessary to insult him tho first time you and ho exchanged a word?" "Insult him? Him? Ha, hat Do you imagine that a hayseed like that would recognize an Insult without an Intro duction? You don't Intend putting him on your calling list, do you?" "I Intend cultivating him for the present?" "Cultivating him?" "Yea for tho present He is Rod gcrs Warren's brother. That lawyer, Graves, traveled miles to seo him. What docs that mean? That in somo important way ho is connected with tho estate and those two children. If tho estate is worth anything, and we havo reason to believe it is, you and I must know it. If it isn't it is even more important that wo should know before we waste more time. If Caro line Is an heiress, If sho inherits even a moderate fortune" Sho shrugged her shoulders by way of finish to tho sentence. When Captain Ellsha emerged from his room after a wash and change of linen he found the library untenanted. Ho strolled .about, his hands behind him, inspecting the pictures with criti cal Interest. Caroline, dressed for din ner, found him thu3 engaged. Ho turn ed nt the sound of her step. "Why, hello I" he cried, with hearty enthuslnsm. "All rigged up tor Inspec tion, ain't you?" "Inspection?" "Oh i that's Just sailor's lingo. Means you'vo got your Sunday uniform on, that's all. My, My! How nice you look J But ain't black pretty old for such a young girl?" "I am In mourning," replied his nleco coldly. "There, there t Of course you are. Tut, tut! How could I forget it You see, I'vo been so many years feelln as If I didn't havo a brother that I've sort of got used to his beln' gone." "I havo not." Her eyes filled as she said It. The captain was greatly moved. "I'm a blunderln' old fool, my dear," ho said. "I beg your pardon. Do try to forgivb me, won't you? And, perhaps perhaps I can mako up your loss to you just a llttlo mite. i;d like to. I'll try to, if" Ho laid a hand on her shoulder. She avoided him and, moving away, seated herself in a chair at tho opposite side of the desk. Tho avoldanco was so oh vious as to bo almost brutal. Captain Ellsha looked very grave for an in stant Then ho changed the subject After somo further conversation, dur ing which Caroline was plainly ill til ease, dinner wna announced. When the captain in his quaint way described to Caroline nnd Stove how ho found his way In New York Caroline was bored, and Stovo was nlraost brutal with his interjections. For tho hundredth timo Caroline asked Stove what had prompt ed her father to mako tho captain their guardian. After breakfast tho next morning camo tho "business talk." It was a brief one. Captain Ellsha Boon dis covered that his brother's children know very llttlo concerning their fa ther's affairs. They hud always plenty of inouoy, had been indulged in prac tically every wish and had never had to think or plan for themsolvcs. As to the elzo of tho estate, they know noth lug more than Mr. Graves had told them, which was that, instead of tho several millions which rumor hod cred. Itcd A. Rodgers Warren with possess. mg, $500,000 would probably be tho extent of their Inheritance nnd that therefore theySuust llvo economically. As a first step in thnt direction they had given up their former homo and moved to tho apartment. "Yes, yes." mused tho captain; "1 seo. Mr. Graves didn't know about your inovin', then? You did it ou your own hook, ao to speak?" Stephen answered promptly. "Of courso wo did," ho declared. "Why not?" "No reason in tho world. A good, sen sible thing to do, I should say. Didn't anybody advlso you where to go?" "Why should we need advice?" Again it was Stephen tvIio replied: "We aren't kids. Wo'ro old enough to decido Bomo things for ourselves, I should thluk." "Yes; sartln. That's right But I didn't know but p'raps somo of your friends might have helped along. This Mrs. Di"iu now, she kind of hinted to mo that Bho'd well, done what oho could to make you comf'tablc." "Sho has," avowed Caroline warmly. "Mrs. Dunn and Malcolm have proved their friendship in a thousand ways. Wo never can repay them, Stephen nnd I, never." "No. There's somo things you can't ever pay, I know that Mrs. Dunn found this nice placo for you, did Bho?" "Why, yes. Mrs. Dunn know that we had decided to move, and sho has a cousin who is interested In Now York property. She asked him, and he men tioned this apartment" "Ono of his own, wnB It?" "I believe so. Why are you so par ticular? Don't you llko it?" ."Isn't it as good as thoso in what do you call it South Dcnboro?" Stephen asked maliciously. Captain Elisha laughed heartily. "Pretty nigh as good," he said. "I didn't notlco nny better on tho way to the depot as I drove up. What's tho rent? You'll excuse my askln', things beln' as they are." "Twenty-two hundred a year," an cwered his niece coldly. The captain looked at her, whistled, broke off tho whistle in tho middle and did a- llttlo mental arithmetic ','Twcnty-two hundred a year I" ho re peated. "That's ono hundred and eighty odd a month. Say, that cousin of Mrs. Dunn's must want to get his investment hack. You mean for Just these ten rooms?" Stephen laughed scornfully. "Our guardian has been counting, Caro," ho remarked. "Yes. Yes, I counted this mornbV when I got up. I was Interested natu rally." "Sure I Naturally, of course," sneered tho boy. "Did you-think tho twenty two hundred was the rent of tho entire building?" "Well, I didn't know. I" "The rent," Interrupted Caroline with dignity," was twenty-four hundred, but thanks to Mrs. Dunn, who explained to her cousin thnt wo were friends of hers, It was reduced." "We being in reduced circumstances," observed her brother in supreme dis gust "Pity the poor orphans! By gad !" "That was real nice of Mrs. Dunn," de clared Captain Ellsha heartily. "About how much is she wuth, do you think?" "I don't know. I never Inquired." "No. Well, down our way," with a chuckle, "wo don't have to inquire. Ask "Did you think it was the rent of tho entire building?" anybody you meet what his next door neighbor's wuth, and he'll tell you with in a hundred, and how ho got It, and how much he owes, nnd how. he geta along with his wife. Ho, ho I Speakln' of wives, Is this Mr. Dunn married?" He looked at his niece as ho asked the question. There was no reason why Caroline should blush. Sho knew It and hated herself for doing it "No," she answered resentfully; "hn Is not." "Um-hra. What's his business?" "He is connected with a Produce Ex change house, I believe." "Ono of the firm?" "I don't know. In New York we are not as well posted or as curious con cerning our friends' private affairs as your townspeople seem to be." "I guess that's so. Well," he went on, rising, "I guess I've kept you young folks from your work or or play, or whatever you was going to do, long enough for this once. I think I'll go out for a spell. I'vo got an errand or two I want to do. What timo do you havo dinner?" "Wo lunch at half past 1," answered Caroline. Wo dlno nt 7." "Ob, yes, yes ! I keep forgettlu' that supper's dinner. Well, I presume likely I'll bo back for luncheon. If I ain't, don't wait for mo. I'll bo homo afore suppci" there I go again! afore din ner, rfUyhow. Goodby."
