had helped to conquer the uncon

was therefore not to lie denied, and
Kir John was sent home as empty
handed as lie went to court, H'ye
marvel that he hates me? Knowing
him for what he is, d ye marvel that
he dubs me pirate and worse’ T is
natural enough so to misrepresent
my doings upon tne sea. since it I*
those doing* have afforded me the
power to hurt hi* profit. He ha*
chosen the weapons of calumny for
tills combat, but those weapons are
not mine, a* T aha!) show him thia
very day. If you do not credit what
I sav, come with me and lie present
at the little talk I hope to have with
that curmudgeon.”
“You forget,” aald Master Godol
phln, “that I, too, have interests in
the neighborhood of Smlthick, and
that vou are hurting those."
"Soho!” crowed Sir Oliver. "Now
at last the sun of truth peeps forth
from all this cloud of righteous in
dignation at my bad Tressilian blood
and pirate's ways! You, too. are but
a trafficker. Now see what a fool
am I to have believed you sincere,
and to have stood here in talk with
you as with an honest man. " His
voice swelled and his lip curled In a
contempt that struck the other like
a blow. "I swear I had not wasted
breath with you had I known you
for so mean and pitiful a fellow."
"These words. . .” began Master
Godolphln. drawing himself up very
stiffly.
"Are a dealleaa than your deeerts,”
cut In the other, and he raised his
voice to call—"Nick.”
"You shall answer to them,” snap
ped hla visitor.
"I am answering now.” wu the
stern answer. '“To come here and
prate to me of my dead father’s dis
soluteness and of an ancient quarrel
between him and yours, to bleat of my
trumped-up course of piracy and my
own ways of life as a just cause why
I may not wed your sister, whilst the
real consideration in your mind, the
real spur to your hostility Is no more
than the matter of some few paltry
potitids a year that I hinder you from
pocketing. A God's name# get you
rone."
Nick entered at that moment.
"You shall hear from me again.
Sir Oliver," said the other, white with
anger "You shall account to me for
these words "
"I do not fight with. . .with
hucksters.'' flashed Sir Oliver.
"D' ye dare call me that?”
"Indeed, 't la to discredit an hon
orable class. I confess it. Nick, the
door for Master Godolphln." ^
CHAPTER II.
Rosamund.
Anon, after his visitor had departed,
Sir Oliver grew calm again. Then be
ing able In hla calm to consider hia
position, he became angry anew at
the very thought of the rage In
which he had been, a rags which had
so mastered him that he erected addi
tional obstacles to the already con
siderable ones that stood between
Rosamund’and himself. In full blast,
his anger awung round and took Sir
John Kllllgrew for its objective. He
would settle with him at once. He
would so, by Haven't light!
He bellowed for Hick and hla boots.
"Where is Master Lionel?’ ' he
asked when the boots had been
fetched.
"He be Just ridden In. Sir Oliver.
"Bid him hither."
Promptly. In answer to that sum
mons. came Sir Oliver's half brother
—a slender lad favoring his mother,
the dissolute Jlalph Tressilian s
second wife He was as unllka Sir
Oliver In body as in soul. Ha was
comely In ay very gentle, almost
womanish way; hla complexion was
fair and delicate, hla hair golden, and
hia eves of a deep blue. Ha had a
very charming stripling grace—for he
was but In his 21st year—and he
dressed with all the cars of a court
gallant.
"Has that whelp Godolphln been to
visit vou?” he asked as he entered.
"Aye," growled Sir Oliver. “He
came to tell me some things and to
hear some other in return."
"Ha. I passed him Just beyond
the gates, and he was deaf to my
greetings. 'T is a most cursed In
sufferable pup."
“Art a Judge of men. I4U. Sir
Oliver stood up booted. "I am for
Arwenack to exchange a compliment
or two with Sir John."
His tight pressed lip* and resolute
sir supplemented his words so well
that Lionel clutched his srm. "You're
not . . . you're not . . . ?"
"I am." And affectionately, as If
to soothe the lad's obvious alarm, he
patted hla brother's shoulder. "Sir
John," he explained, “talks too much.
'T Is a fault that wants correcting.
1 go to teach him the virtue of si
ience."

By O. O. JTIXTIRE.
New York, April 4.—Thought*
while (trolling around New York:
Fifty-seventh etreet. Now the mar
nequln* promenade. Here* where
producer* hunt for beautiful show
girl*. And where mo*t of the fne
frock* and hat* are made.
Smart ladle* In riding tog* waiting
under the port* cocher# for mount*
Lazy and languid women with wolf
hound* and awaybaek Poke*. Pardo*
while I titter behind my fi*nl But
there'* a man with pink spat*.
Marked down permanent wave*
The Floradora apartment* Whn
remember* when they used to cal'
the bicycle a aafety? A narrow cob
bled etreet. Richly colored with.”*-’
tawdrlnes*. Th* *wan lake In Cen
tral park. Where young city lover*
go to look at th* moon. O. to be
young again.
Now for a top **at on a bua. Tito
fellow next to me ha* a auaplciou*
bulging gultcaae. The eeethlng jam
at Forty-aecond street. A atenog
rapher weeping at a aecond story
window. Poor girl!
Th# travel bureaus on th* lower
avenue. Displaying posters of palm
tree*. Turquoise akles. Pink coral
reefa. Pavement romancer# stand
about enthralled. Jana Cowl enjoy
ing a brisk walk. At least I suppose
she's enjoying it. A shop that sells
book* and dog*. Both fine friends.
Enough of the bua. Too chilly up
here. Th* old Flatiron building look*
tarnished. The queer haunt* of West
Twenty-third street. An East Indian
physiognomist. Spook parlors—where
you learn your departed grandmother
play* a tamborine. A Swedish al
chemist.
Igfayette street. (W# are here!*
Mail trucks that kill and mann. Side
walk card writers. Old women with
withered lips. In no city are the aged
so neglected a* here. Pushcart men
in constant dread of the police. A
hot dog station. The walk la over.
Woof! Woof!
In one of the midnight supper clubs
where at intervals the lights are
turned very low patrons enjoyed
something In startling effects th»
other night. A woman in a glittering
black dress was dancing when the
light* were dimmed. Suddenly her
curly black hair seemed to glow with
a phosphoric iridescence. It was a
sort of greenish, silvery halo—weird
and rather breath taking. She
proved to be the proprietress of a
celebrated beauty parlor who is trv-.^,i’
ing to Introduce a new fashion. The
effect was brought about by a lotion
containing some luminous property.
Light pea green cloth la the pre
vailing shade of suiting for men th:*»
spring. Green hat*, too. are to be the
tab* meow. For those who wish to
further in the one-tone Idea there are
green shirts with collar* to match
green tie*, green sox and black shoes
with green cloth top*. An ocean
\ ovage might furnish the pea green
complexion to complete the roh
schence.
"Whj don't you stop living to be
funny." write* on# who sign* heree"
Enthusiastic Reader, and add* "you
am only interesting when you use
your !>ower of description." That may
bo till#, K. R.. and thanks for the
trade last, but we were funny this
morning—at least to our wife—when
we missed th* breakfast table chair
and In clutching for anchorage ujvse’
two tmshelled soft boiled eggs In our
hair.
Being Scotch, however. 1 managed
to salvage something oat of the
wreckage. After the breakfast table
calamity I went to the bathroom and
with what remained of the eggs n
the hair had a most excellent ege
shampoo. Th# barber charges
cents for that.
