The Healing of
a Breach
By Marian C. Walton
(Copyright. t')io. by Associate*! Litsrary Pii-s*.)
"If 1 were only a man.” Ellen ex
ploded, her eyes dark with tears.
Clayton's eyes twinkled despite
their open admiration. "No doubt
it is possible to Improve on the ways
of providence,” he said. "Still—in
this case, 1 don't see any misfit."
“Of course not—you believe. ‘What
ever is, is right,’ " Ellen flung at him
in a tone meant to be crushing.
Clayton took her hands In his,
looked carefully at the pink palms,
soft as a baby's, at the filbert nails,
the taperting tips and went on: "It
really seems to me the powers that
be knew their business. What could
you do with those1 hands? Hesldes—
men are not allowed to cry merely
for getting vexed -nothing short of
losing a fortune or a wife excuses
them for being lachrymose—"
"Hush! You are too hateful for
anything! Anything!" Ellen burst
out. "Of course, if I were a man 1
shouldn't be the ridiculous nuisance
I am—I should have reach and
strength of body to match my strength
of mind—’’
"Dear me! Where do you keep it?
I always thought you adorably femi
nine—not. the least bit strong minded,"
Clayton interrupted, teaBlngly. • "It
alarms me—dreadfully—to find myself
mistaken. You know I've quite made
up my mind to marry you."
"Indeed!" The monosyllable spoke
volumes—of scorn, of anger, of—
smothered satisfaction. Clayton caught
the smothered note and smiled cov
ertly.
Ellen saw the smile, read it aright,
and grew angrier than ever. "Maybe
I am ungrateful," she went on, chok
ing slightly, "but really, it seems to
me 1 have some rights in the case."
"All rights,” Clayton conceded,
promptly. "Hut see here, honey bug.

don’t, don't let's quarrel, even before
we are engaged."
“Then—when ran we quarrel?”
Ellen demanded. “We surely never
will be engaged.”
"Do you mean that?" Clayton de
manded, a hint of seriousness creep
ing Into his voice.
Ellen looked him up and down. "I
mean it. Utterly, positively!" she
said. "So I had better say good-by
to you—1 fancy you won’t care to
stay for dinner.”
“No; bul 1 am not going until you
hear me out," Clayton said half stern
ly. "We have got beyond jesting.
Ix*t me state the case. You know I
love you—I've been showing It the
best I know how this year and bet
ter. 1 think you love me—no mat
ter what you say—now. Hut you are
flouting me. angry with me over the
most foolish thing in the world An
old quarrel, one that belongs to I he
men of your family. If It means any
thing, I'd joy to take ii up. You are
precious to me—so precious any hurt
or shame or scalh to you would be
worth a man's life if 1 knew It. Hut
1 don’t intend to make myself a
laughing stock for the county by re
fusing to speak from the same stand
with Cent ral Peabody at the rally next
week. I want to speak—for many
reasons—I ought to do It—it belongs
to me as a man and citizen. You
wouldn’t have me sit back, a snail
In my shell—”
"I would when that creature Pea
body was around. My father simply
couldn’t bear him. If I were a man
I’d show him the blood was true to
Itself—no Burton ever forgets," Ellen
said, her eyes flashing.
Clayton was not sure whether he
wanted most to kiss her or to shake
her. He compromised by kissing her
hands, murmuring fond words as he
did it.
She snatched away the hands, say
ing scornfully: "No doubt you think
I'nt clay—to be molded as you choose.
But this 1 tell you- and you may be
lieve it the day you shake hands
with General Peabody, that day you
cease to be even an acquaintance of
mine.”
After the last word she turned
away. Clayton whistled, and took an
instant departure. He felt he had
made the grand mistake of arguing
where he should have entreated. "But
Nell was always so sensible—until
now,” he told himself. "How could
I guess she had so much of that old
Are eater, her daddy? Game's up, it
Appears—without h special provi
dence. Please send one- quick kind
Kate. Life without Nell Is duller than
ditch-water."
Ellen had not meant to go to the
rally, but now a sense that going was
imperative fell upon her. So she was !
there, very line, very gay, with Johnny
Goold at her elbow. He had begged j
to fetch her, but she had come alone !
In the family carriage, save for
Mammy Nance.
Johnny's tender mercies were over
tender he had been mad about Nell
ever since they met. He was not
bad-looking, nor bad-hearted, only
lax and coarse of liber, also easily
beset with a craving for liquor. Villen
had never seen him save strictly
sober- she was pardonable for fail
ing to understand his high color, his
glib speech, his all-embracing affec
tion for the universe. He was gallant
to every petticoat, but he never got j
far away from Ellen.
Long before the speaking ended, 1
though she bad not fully sensed his
condition, she had begun to be un
easy.
Prejudiced na she was, uneasy as
she was, she had had to admit that
General Peabody was worth hearing;
not so well worth it as Wank Clay
ton, to be sure—but still he was elo
quent, and had sense no less than
sound to what he said. Deep down
she began to wonder—she had been
regretting il ever since the day of the
quarrel. If only she had left a loop
hole—hut she knew how futile It was
to think Frank would ever come hack
"Won’t you find mammy, please?"
she asked Johnny. "1 think we had
better go home before dinner. Tell
her so—and to come at once,”
“You're going to dine, not al tills
measly barbecue—but with me—up
at the club," Johnny said, strenuous
ly, clasping her hand, tucking It over
his arm and striding toward his big
motor car. “We’ll get there In no
time—1 hate crowds like this," he ran
on, half carrying Ellen as he strode
along.
She was wildly angry, still more
frightened. Pull as she might, she
could not free her hand. To scream
meant a scene—and anything was
better than that. Desperately she
hung back, casting appealing glances
toward the place where Clayton had
been standing a minute earlier. Ho
had vanished, but tall old General Pea
body was In evidence—he caught
Ellen’s anguished eye. In three
strides he was beside her, saying as
he laid a heavy hand on Johnny's
shoulder:
"Pardon me, my young friend, but
1 must speak to Allan Burton's daugh
ter. Your father and I, my dear
young lady, were, I regret to say,
lifelong enemies. And all over a tri
fle—a trifle moreover In which late
ly, I have found that 1 was wrong.
So I offer him through you my sin
cere apology, and beg pardon. Will
you grant It?”
“Oh, general!" was all Ellen conld
say.
Clayton, behind the general, caught
her trembling hand as It fell from
the general’s clasp, and said, smiling:
"1 am sure she is in a forgiving
mood. Johnny Goold nearly always
provokes one to repentance and re
mission.”
"I am very glad—to—to—forgive—
everybody,” Ellen said In a small,
tremulous voice.
The general smiled, shook hands
again, and bowed himself away.
“Did you really find out you were
wrong?" a crony asked him as the
two stood apart filled with joy and
barbecue an hour later. The gen
eral's eyes twinkled. I have quite
forgotten what Burton and 1 hated
each otht^r about," he said, “but I
shall never he old enough to forget
the appeal of a girl's eyes when she’s
badly worried—today 1 saw It, and
acted accordingly."
"Yet. folks say you are less man
than politician," tie crony said, ad
miringly.
The general chuckled mildly. "1
hope I'm pretty mm b all there is of
both," he said, "for the credit of my
country, no less myself."
One Way to Create Peers.
Peerages have sometimes been ac
quired in curious ways. When the
head of a well-known west country
family was raised to 'he upper house
a good deal of surprise was expressed
at such a distinction being conferred
upon hitn, for lie had not rendered
any particular service to his party,
having lost practically e ery election
he had contested. Lord Ueaconsfleld
furnished me with the key to this
enigma. ' Well," said he, “we really
did not know what to do with him,
for lie was positively doing us harm.
Wherever he stood he was beaten, so
at last we though the best way to get
rid of him would be to send him to
ttie upper house."- From "t’nder Five
Reigns.”
The Son's Future.
Bonaventure de Fourcroy, a clever
society poet of the seventeenth cen
tury, a splendid orator, an eminent
advocate, and an intimate friend of
Moliere to boot, oil being asked one
day by a magistrate what he meant
1 to do with liis son, replied: "If there
1 is anything in him I'll make him a
barrister; if not, I'll make him a
judge”
A Student of the Drama.
It was at a recent performance of
