CHAPTER TWO Continued.
Tfirnel Sliced, thu pltnnhor, wns
working with his ini'ii on n Joh lit Mil
lerton, hut ho took on tho plumbing
for the H1iik honse extension, nt prices
uliovo nil precedent, to he done ns
j soon nH he could f;et to It on his re
turn. The hutclier nnd jrocer hud lm
1 proved the opportunity to rnlse their
prices, for Hlng never questioned n
hill. He set the puce. Prices Muck
where he put the peg. So, unwitting
ly, the mllllonnlre hnd created condi
tions of life thnt were extremely dif
ficult. Since prices hnd pone up tho vil
lage of lilngvlllc hnd been running
down nt the heel. It hnd heen nt host
nnd, In the mnlrt, n rather shiftless
nnd Inert ooinnlunlty. The weather
hnd worn the pnlnt off ninny houses
hefore their owners hnd seen the need
of repainting. Not until the rain
drummed on the Moor wns tho nvornge,
drowsy Intellect of Ulngvllle roused to
notion on the roof. It must he ..old,
however, thnt every one wns busy,
every tiny, except lllrnm nienklnop,
who often Indulged In nntc mortem
slumbers In the grinovnrd or wont out
on the river with his dog Chrlstmns,
his bottle nnd bis fishing rod. The
people wore selling poods, or tenmlng.
or working ln the two hotels or tho
machine shop or the electric light
plant or the mill, or keeping the hay
off the lawns, or building, or teaching
In the schools. The gardens wore
largely dependent on the spasmodic
Industry of schoolboys nnd old men.
So It will bo seen that the work of the
community hnd little effect on the sup
'ply of things necessary to life. In
jdeed, 11 general habit of extra vuganee
'had been growing In the ylllnge. Peo
ple were not so careful of food, fuel
nnd clothing as thoy bnd been.
It was n wet summer In Ulngvllle.
The day nfter the ruins began. Pro
fossor Itenfrew culled at the house of
tho sniffy Snodgrnss the nouvoau
rlehc and opulent carpenter. He sat
rending the morning paper with n now
diamond ring on thu third finger of his
loft baud.
"My roof Is leaking hndly nnd It
will have to bo llxed nt once," the pro
fessor nnnounccd.
"I'm sorry, I can't do n thing for
you now," said Snodgrnss. "I've got
bo much to do, I don't know which
wny to turn."
"Hut you're not working this rainy
(lay, nre you?" the professor nsked.
"No, nnd I don't propose to work In
this rain for anybody; If I did rl fix
my own roof. To tell yon the truth, I
don't hnve to work nt nil I I calculate
thnt I've got nil the money I need. So,
when It rnlns, I Intend to rest and get
acquainted with my family."
Ho wns firm but In no way disagree
'nhlo about It.
Some of tho half-dozen men who, In
llko trouble, called on him for help
thut day were Inclined to resent his
declaration of Independence- and his
devotion to leisure, hut really Mr.
Snodgrnss wns well within his rights.
It wns n more serious matter when
'Judge Croaker's plumbing leaked and
Hooded his kitchen nnd cellar. Israel
Snood was In Mlllorton every day and
working overtime more or less, v
refused to put a hand on the judge's
pipes. Ho was sorry but be couldn't
make n horse of himself and oven If
ho could the time was past when ho
hnd to do It. Judge Croaker brouizbt
u plumber from Iluzeitnend, Mxtv
italics In n motorcnr, and hnd to imv
sovonty dollars for time, Inhor and
ninterlals. This mechanic declared
that there was too much pressure on
Ithe pipes, n Judgment of whose no
icuracywo have abundant proof In the
'history of tho next week or so. Never
hnd there been such a bursting of
pipes nnd Hooding of cellars. That
llttlo lake up In tho hills which sup-
iplled the wnter of Ulngvllle seemed to
Ihnvo got the common notion of moving
Into the village. A dozen cellars were
turned Into swltpmlng pools. Modern
Improvements were going out of com
mission. A committee went to Ilnrel
mead nnd nfter n week's pleading got
u pair of young and Inexperieuccd
plumbers to come to Ulngvllle.
"They must '' plugged 'em with
gold." snld Deacon Ilosley. when tho
''bill arrived.
By Irving Bacheller
New leaks were forthcoming, but
lllrnm Itlcnklnsop conceived the tro
t Ion of stopping them with poultices
of white lead and bunduges of canvns
hound with line wire. They dripped
and muny of the pipes of Hlngvlllo
looked its If thoy wero suffering from
sprained ankles nnd sore throats, hut
lllrnm had prevented another deluge.
The price of coal had driven the
people of Ulngvllle hack to the woods
for fuel. The old wood stoves hnd
been cleaned and set up In the sitting
rooms nnd kitchens. Tho saving hnd
been considerable. Now, so tunny men
were putting In their time on the
house nnd grounds of J. Patterson
Hlng nnd the new factory nt Mlllerton
that the local wood dealer found. It
Impossible to get the help ho needed.
Not twenty-live per cent of the orders
on his hooks could he tilled.
Mr. Plug's house wns finished In Oc
tober. Then Snodgrnst nnnounccd
that he wns going to tnke It
easy, ns beenmo n mnn of his opu
lence. He had bought a farm nnd
would only work three days n week nt
his trade. Snood had nlso bought n
form and acquired a feeling of opu
lence. Ho was going to work when
he felt like It. Itcforo ho tackled nny
leaking pipes he proposed to make n
few leaks In the deer up In the Adlron
dacks. So the roofs and the plumbing
hnd to wnlt.
Meanwhile, Hlngvlllo wns In sore
trouble. The nnclent roof of Its re
spectability had begun to leak. Tho
beams and rafters In the house of Its
spirit were rotting uwny. Mnny of
the Inhabitants of the Inttcr regarded
the great J. Patterson Hlng with n
kind of nwe llko that of the Shep
herd of the Hints. He was the lending
citizen. He hnd done things. When
J. Pnttcrson Hlng decided thut rest or
fresh nlr wns better for him thnn bnd
music and dull prayers nnd sermons,
"Wo Never Tell Father Anythlno
Men Don't Understand."
and thnt God wns really not much con
corned ns to whether n mun snt In n
pow or a rocking chair or n motorcnr
on Sundny, he was, probably, quite
right. ltcnlly, It was n matter much
more Important to Mr. Hlng nnd his
neighbors than to Ood. Indeed, It Is
not nt nil likely thntthc ruler of the
universe was worrying much ithoul
them. Hut when J. Patterson Hlng de
cided In favor of fun nnd fresh nlr, It.
Purdy druggist inni'c a llko deci
sion, nnd It. Purdy wns n man of com
manding Influence In his own home.
Ills dnughters, Mabel end Gladys, nnd
his son, Hlcbard, Jr., would not have
been surprised to see him elected
President of tho United States, some
day, believing that the honor was only
for the truly great. Soon Mrs. Purdv
stood alone n hopeless minority of
one In the household. I$y much
pleading nnd nagging, she kept the
children In the fold of tho church for
a time but, by and by, grew weary of
tho effort. She was converted by norv
ous exhaustion to tho picnic Sunday.
Her conscience worried her. She real
ly felt sorry for God nnd made sundry
remarks calculated to nppenso and
comfort Him.
Now, nil this would scorn to hnve
been In Itself n matter of slight Im
portance. Hut Orvlllo Gates, the su
perintendent of the mill, nnd John
Seavor, attorney nt luw, nnd Itnhert
Hrown, the grocer, nnd Pendleton

clothier, nnd Dnrwln Sill, the butcbor,
and Snodgrnss, the enrpenter, nnd oth
ors hnd Joined tho picnic caravun led
by tho mllllonnlre. Tlieso good peo
pie would not have admitted It, but
the truth Is J. Pnttcrson Hlng hold
them nil In tho hollow of his hand.
Nobody outsldo his own family hnd
any affection for him. Outwardly, he
was ns hard ns nr'.ls. Hut ho owned
the bank nnd controlled credits and

given freely for tho Improvement of
the village nnd the neighboring city of
Har.elnicad. His family wns tho court
circle of Hlngvllle. Consciously or un
consciously, the best peoplo Imitated
the Plugs.
Judgo Crookcr wns, ono day, dis
cussing with n friend the soclnl condi
tions of Ulngvllle. In regard to picnic
Sundays he tnnde this remark:
"George Meredith once wrote to his
sou thnt he would need tho help of
religion to get safely beyond tho
stormy passions of youth. It Is very
trucl" .
The hlstorlnn wns reminded of this
saying by the undertow of the life
currents In Hlngvllle.
The dunces In the Normal school
nnd In the' homes of tho well-to-do
were Imitations of the grcnt party nt
J. Patterson Plug's. The costumes of
ccrtnln of the young Indies were, to
quote n clause from the posters of the
Messrs. Hnrnttm nnd Hntlcy, still cling
ing to the hlllhonrd: 'the most daring
nnd ntnnzlng bnrebnek performances
In the history of tho circus ring."
Phyllis Hlng, the unrivaled metropoli
tan performer, set tho pnec. It wns
distinctly too rapid for her followers.
If one mny sny It kindly, she was ns
cold nnd heartless nnd beautiful In her
net ns a piece of bronze or Italian
marble. She wob not nshnmed of her
self. She did It so easily and grace
fully nnd unconsciously nnd obliging
ly, so to spenk, ns If her license hnd
never been questioned. It wns not so
with Vlvlnn Mend nnd Frances Smith
nnd Pauline Hakcr. They limped nnd
struggled In their efforts to keep up.
To begtn with, the art of their
modiste hnd been fussy, Imitative and
timid. It lacked the mnstcr touch.
Their spirits were nlso Improperly pre
pared for such publicity. They blushed
and looked npologles nnd were visibly
uncomfortable when they entered the
dance hall.
On this point, Judge Crooker deliv
ered a famous opinion. It wns: "I feel
sorry for those girls, but their mothers
ought to be spnnkcd I"
There Is evidence thnt this sentence
of his wns carried out in due time and
In a most effectual manner. But the
works of art which these mothers hud
put on exhibition nt the Normnl school
sprang Into overwhelming popularity
with the young men and their cards
were quickly filled. In half an hour,
they hnd ceased to blush. Their eyes
no longer spoke npologles. They were
new women. Their Initiation was
complete. Thoy bnd become, In the
Inngunge of Judge Crooker, "perfect
Phylllstlnesl"
Tho dnnclng tried to bo as naughty
ns thnt remarkable Phyllistlnlnn pas
time nt the mansion of the Plugs nnd
succeeded well, If not hnndwmely.
Tho modern dunces nnd dress were
now definitely established In Hlng
vllle. Just before the holidays, the exten
sion of the ample home of the million
aire wns decorated, furnished aiMl
ready to he shown. Mrs. Hlng and
Phyllis, who had been having a fling
In New York, came home for the holi
days. John arrived the next day from
tho great Padclford school to be with
tho family through the winter recess.
Mrs. Hlng guve a ten to the ladles of
Hlngvllle. She wanted them to see
the improvements nnd become nwnre
of her good will. She had thought of
un evening party, but there were mnn
men In the vlllngo whom she didn't
cure to hnve In her house. So It be
came n ton.
The women talked of leaking roof
and wnter pipes and useless bnthrooim
and outrageous costs. Phyllis sat It
the palm room with tho village girls
It happened thnt they talked mulnlx
nbout their fathers. Some bud com
plained of paternal strictness.
"Men nro terrible I They mnko sf

seems ns If they hated to see nnybodv
have n good time."
"Mother nnd I do ns we plenso am'
sny nothing," said Phyllis. "We novo
,ell father anything men don't un
dorstnnd."
Some of the girls smiled and looked
Into one another's eyes.
There hnd boon a curious undercur
rout In the party. It did not break tho
surface of the stream until Mrs. Hlng
nsked Mrs. Pendleton Ames, "Where
is Pnullne Hakcr?"
A silence fell upon tho group around
her.
Mrs. Ames leaned toward Mrs. Ring
nnd whispered, "Haven't you heard
the news?"
"No. I bnd to scold Susnn Crowdor
and Martha Feuthorstraw as soon ns I
got bore for neglecting their work nnd
they've hndly spoken to me slnco.
Whnt is It?"
"Pauline linker has run nwny with
a strnngo young man," Mrs. Ames
whispered.
Mrs. Hlng threw up both hnnds,
opened her mouth and looked toward
tho celling.
"You don't mean It!" she gasped.

Post No. H of the American Legion, us
a result of the postmuster's efforts to

The trouble started when tho pastor

should not be heurd. After tho vote,
