Apropos of a beautiful young wife, ■worth $40,000,000, who had just di vorced her penniless husband in or der to marry again, Henry E. Dixey, the comedian, said at a dinner in New York: “The young man who marries for money has none too easy a time of it. His rich wife is likely to tire of him and throw him out in a few years, or else she is likely to limit his allow ance to 25 or 60 cents a day. “ ‘I married money,’ a man once said to me. “ 'Wasn’t there a woman attached to it?'

He had the audacity to pro pose to mother shortly after father's death. Think of it! John wrote to him very definitely that his presence In the house would no longer be wel comed or tolerated." Warrington looked at her in abso lute amazement. "Well, of all the nerve! Why the deuce didn’t John punch his bead?” savagely. “Mr. McQade is not a gentleman; John is,” simply. “But Mr. McQuade hasn't forgotten; not he. He pays no attention to any of us; but that is no sign that he does not think a good deal. To his mind I can see that he considers himself badly affronted; and from what I know of his history, he never lets an affront pass without striking back in some manner.” "What do you think? He Is so anxious to get me out of the political arena that he has sent a man down to New York to look into my past. Isn't Patty stooped again to the fishing Patty stopped again to the fishing tflcklc. “Such men as McQuade can invent. I should be careful If 1 were you. Your own conscience may prove you guiltless of scandal, but there are certain people who would rather believe bad than good—scandal than truth; and these are always in majority. Don’t laugh but watch. That's my advice to you. “I may not have lived as cleanly as I might have," he said soberly. "I have been knocked about so much. There were times when I grew tired of fight ing. But I have never done anything that will not stand daylight. There was a time, Patty, when I came near making a fool of myself." His head was turned away, but she could see the muscles in the jaws harden. "You will never go back to those days, I am sure, Richard.” That she had at last pronounced his given name did not stir him; in fact it passed over his heud and hearing. Like a dragon-brood, he saw in fancy his past, follies springing up about him. “Your brother’s wife brought me to my senses," he said. What I am to day she in part has made. That is why I think so much of her; that is why I am happy to see that she is happy and has realized her heart's desire. Heigh-ho! I believe I am making you my confessor.” He turned his face toward her now, and his smile was rather sad. "When I recall the worry I have given my poor old aunt, who loves me bo, I feel like a contemptible scoundrel. How many countless sacrifices has she made for me, in the days when we had nothing! But she shall have all the comforts nowr, and all the love and kindness I am capable of giving her. I shall never leave her again.” There were tears in Patty's eyes. “It is never too late to mend; and when a man is penitent, truly and hon estly penitent, much shall be forgiven him. It is only those who are by na ture coarse who do not eventually sur mount temptation. What you have told me I have know'n this long While." “You have known?” he cried with sinking heart. "Yes. We live in a city where gossip travels quickly and thoroughly. Mrs. Franklyn Haldene was telling mother one afternoon that you drank. I sup pose she felt it her duty.” He shrugged expressively. "I ought to have known.” The two entered the house. War rington, having arrived at the writing desk, bade her sit down. He had an idea. Patty sat down. “I want you to write something for me,” he said, pushing the pen and tab let toward her. “What’s the matter with your hand?" she demanded. "Nothing." "Then why do you want me to write?" “I have never seen your handwriting. Tm something of an expert in that line. I’ll read your future.” "But I don’t want my future read,” rebelliouBly. “Well, then, your past.” “Much less my past. Come; you are only beating about the bush. What is it you want?” “I want to know," he said quietly, "why you have kept me In Ignorance all this while.” He laid the letter on the desk, and placed a finger on the water-mark. “It wasn't fair to let me compose panegyrics over it all the while you W'ere laughing in your sleeve. Ah, I’ve caught you. You can’t get away this time, Patty. "I haven’t the slightest idea what you are talking about.” But she looked at the letter and not at him. "Do you see those water-marks?” he demanded. "Yes. You will find them in a thou sand tablets like this. I bought a dozen of them in New York; cheap and handy." Warrington’s confidence in his dis covery began to shake. H# braced him self and took a bold course. “Patty, you wrote that letter; you know you did. You wrete it in New York, the day you bought the tablets.” "Yes. Confess." "My dear Mr. Warrington, yoa must prove It,” lightly. "It would not be proper for me to admit that I had been so foolish as to write a letter like that.” "But you’ve praised It!” "Simply because praising It would please you; for no other reason.” "Did you, or did you not write It?” "Find out. You must prove that I wrote it. Certainly I have nothing to confess.” "You will not answer me one way or the other?” "No.” "If you had not written It you would.” "I don’t believe I shall sing tl\s morning,” rising. "And I have wondered a thousand times who could have written It. And all the time It was you.” "Nor play billiards,” went on Patty. "If only I were all you hitherto be lieved me to be!” "Nor flsh tomorrow morning.” "This letter has been like an anchor. Immediately upon receiving It I began to try to live better.” "Nor flsh the day after tomorrow.” “And I had forgotten all about Jack's having a sister!" “Something I shall neither forget nor forgive. And If you persist in accus ing me of writing that letter, I promise not to flsh again while you are here.” She walked toward the door, her chin held high. “You wrote it. Come and sing. I’ll say nothing more about It. There’s nothing more to be said.” He careless ly picked up a book and looked at the fly-leaf. "From Sister Patty to Brother John,” he read. There was no mistake now. He laughed. Patty turned. "The writing is the same.” The days paaied all two quickly for Warrington. He walked in the golden glow of his first romance, that romance which never leaves us till life Itself de parts. John and Kate watched them ap provingly. They knew the worth of the man; they were not at all worried over what was past. One evening Kate and John sat on the veranda from where they could easily watch Warrington and Patty in the, music room. ‘‘What do you think of it. John?” “There's not a finer chap in the world. But I don't think Patty realizes yet.” "Dear Patty!” Kate reached over and took his hand in hers, laying it against her cold cheek. “What Is it, John? You have been worried all day.” "Nothing; nothing to bother you with.” "The shops? It worries me when you don’t conflde in me in everything.” “Well,' dear, the trouble I’ve been ex pecting for months is about to come. You know young Chittenden, the Eng lish inventor, has been experimenting with a machine that will do the work j of five men. They have been trying to force hint to Join the union, but he has refused, having had too many examples of unionism In his own country to risk his Independence. Well, I received a letter from the general manager this morning. Either Chittenden must join or go; otherwise the men will go out September 1st.” "What shall you do?” "1 shall keep Chittenden. I am master there,” striking the arm of his chair; "master In everything. If they go out In September, it will be for good. I shall tear down the shops and build model tenements.” "John!” “I am sick and tired, dear. I have raised the wages all over the district; my men work less than any other hands in town. I have built a gym nasium for them, given them books, pool tables and games, to say noth ing of the swimming tank. I have arranged the annual outings. I have established a pension list. But all this seems to have done no good. I am at the end of the rope. Oh, the poor devils who work are all right; it’s the men outside who are raising all this trouble; it’s the union, not the men. There’s no denying the power these men can wield, for wrong or right. Ignorance cannot resist the temptation to use It at all times and for all pur poses. But I am master at the Ben nington shops; injustice shall not dic tate to me. They'll use It politically, too. After all. I'm glad I've told you.” "But, John, I’m afraid for you. They may hurt you.” John answered with a sound that was more of a growl than a laugh. She kissed his hand. She knew that no pleading could move him; and be sides, he was In the right. "I don’t understand the lukewarm ness of the party papers,” he said. "They ought to hurrah over Dick. But perhaps the secret machinery Is being set to work, and they’ve been told that there will be trouble at the conven tion. The senator never llacks down, and I’ve never seen anybody that could frighten Dick. There’ll be some Inter esting events this fall. Herculaneum will figure In the newspapers from Maine to California, for everybody is familiar with Warrington’s name and work. It’s a month yet before the delegates get together." A quarter or an nour later John and Kate interrupted Patty and Warring ton In the music room. "A telegram for you, Dick" John announced. Warrington opened it carelessly and read it. He read it again, slowly; and Patty, who was nearest to him, saw his face turn gray under the tan and his lips tremble. He looked from one to the other dumbly, then baok at the sheet in his hand. "Richard!” said Kate, with that quick intuition which leaps across chasms of doubt and arrives definitely. “My aunt died this afternoon,” he said, his voice breaking, for he had not the power to control it. Nobody moved; a kind of paralysis touched them all. “She died this afternoon, and I wasn’t there.” There is something ter ribly pathetic in a strong man's grief. "Dick!” John rushed to his side. "Dick, old man, there must be some mistake.” He seized the telegram from War rington's nerveless fingers. There was no mistake. The telegram was signed by the family physician. Then John did the kindliest thing in bis power. "Do jou wish to be alone, Dick?” ■ }arrjujton nodded. John laid the telegram on the table, and the three of them passed out of the room. A gust of wind, coming down from the mountains, carried the telegram gently to the floor. Warrington, leaning against the table, stared down at it. CHAPTER XI. xne iunerai was over. Warrington returned to the desolate house. Sup per done, he went to his den and took down a book. Could he live here now? He doubted It, ter It was a house of empty doors. The telephone rang. He took up the receiver. “Mamma wants you to come over and spend the night with us. John and Kate wilt be here. too. He recognized Patty’s voice. “I shall be very glad to,” he replied. "Good-bye.” The Benningtons were very kind to him. They engaged his interest the moment he entered the house. They talked of a thousand and one things diverting: the foreign news, the polit ical outlook, the September horse show at which Patty would ride and Jump, wh8t was contemplated in society for the fall and winter, the ice carnival and the engagements. I "Why don’t you enter your Irish hunter?” asked John, when' the talk veered around to horses again. "I ride for the mere pleasure of it,” replied Warrington; “or, if you will, I’m too lazy to learn the Judges' cate chism.” Presently they had him telling how he had written his first play, and how completely Mrs. Jack had fooled him on their first meeting. "No, I have not the slightest desire to return to the stage,” said MrB. Jack, in answer to a casual inquiry made by Warrington. “Not while I’m around,” supplement ed John. “Why, nothing could lure me back to it,” Mrs. Jack declared emphatically. ”1 am happy. I am very happy. I have nothing to wish for, save that my hap piness may endure.” Mrs. Bennington, who had long since grown to love her daughterinluw, smiled benignly. ’’You will always be happy, my dear; you were born to be. It is the Just reward for making those around you happy." "Patty." said Warrington, "would you Ilk* the Angora?" "I should love It dearly.” "Then I’ll send It over to you In the morning.” And that was as near as they ap proached the subject they were tacitly avoiding. At a quarter of nine, to the conster nation of every one, Mrs. Franklyn Halder.e was announced. “Take me up stairs to the billiard room,” said Warrington. "I am not in the mood to meet that woman tonight.” "Come on. then," cried John, willing enough. “There’s the servants' stairs. I’ll give you a handicap of 20 In 100 points.” "I’ll beat you at those odds.” “That remains to be seen.” And the two hurried up the stairs Just as the hall door closed. The bill iard room was situated at the head of the front stairs. Warrington won the bank, and he ran a score of 10. While he was chalking his cue ho heard voices. “It Is very sad.” It was Mrs. Frank lyn-Haldene talking. “We shall miss her In church work. It Is a severe blow to Mr Warrington. “That was a good draw, John. Three cushions this time. Good. You’re playing strung tonight.” “Did you think to bring over your pajamas?” John asked Irrelevantly. Warrington smiled In spite of him self. “I forgot all about them,” he admit ted. "Thought you would, so I brought over two sets. We’re about the same size. Pshaw 1 that was an easy one, too.” Warrington missed his shot. He heard voices again. “And I want you to help me." It was Mrs. Franklyn-Haldene again. "We shall reorganize the Woman’s Auxllla-y Republican club, and we shall need you. It Is principally for that that I came over." "I take very little Interest In any thing outside of my home,” replied Mrs. Bennington. “Did you get that?” whispered John, as he drew back for a carom. “But this Is very Important for the city’s welfare,” pursued Mrs. Franklyn Haldene. “I doubt it. So long as we do not vote-—” “That’s Just It. We can’t vote, but we can get together and control the male vote in the family. That’s some thing. John grinned at Warrington, who re plied with a shrug. “And they call me the meddler!” he said. "What's the matter with your staying on here a few days, Dick?” "I should be nothing but a bother to you.” “Rot! You can’t stay alone over there.” “I’ll have to; I can't leave those poor old servants alone. They are broken hearted. I sent her two hundred every month regularly, Just for pin money; and what do you think she did with It? Hoarded it up and willed something like two thousand to Mary and her husband. I’m all In, Dick. But go on; I'll finish the game." “All right. But whenever you feel lonesome, come here or over to my house. There'll always be a spare room for you In either house.” “It’s mighty kind of you, John. My shot?" Warrington ran four and missed. Voices again. “I never believe what I hear, and only half of what I see." That was Mrs. Jack speaking. Murmurs. The billiard balls clicked sharply as John played for position. "The stage doesn't appeal to you any more then?” Mrs. Franklyn-Haldene. “Not In the least. It never did ap peal to me. I am so far away from It now that I am losing the desire to wit ness plays.” “And for whom will Mr. Warring ton write his plays now?" “The vacancy I made has long ago been filled. I was but one In a thousand to Interpret his characters. There Is always a lack of plays, but never of actors.” "Excuse me for a moment.” It was Patty this time. “Certainly, my dear.” ’ , Warrington heard nothing more for several minutes. “Is It true what I hear about Patty and that rich young Mr. Whlteland, of New York?” “What is It that you have heard?” "Why, that their engagement Is about to be announced.” Warrington stood perfectly still. Whlteland had been a guest at the Adirondack bungalow earlier in the summer. He waited for the answer, and It seemed to him that It would never come. “I am not engaged to anyone, Mrs. Haldene, and I hope you will do me the favor to deny the report when ever you come across It,” Patty had returned. “It seems Incredible that a young man may not call upon a young woman without their names becoming coupled matrimonially." “Nevertheless, he Is regarded as ex tremely eligible.” i “I have often wondered over Hal dene’s regular Saturday night Jag at the club,” said John stringing his count, "but I wonder no longer. They say she never goes out Saturdays.” (Continued Meat Week.) The WoTat of It. From the Washington Star.
