Neil was at home very little, searcely mare often than hefore she came, I could see that it was at tfmes an effort for him toseoncentrate his . mind upon what' either of us were saying, and' I worried accordingly, E begged him to tell me what he was doing that he could not be more at home, could not give his aunt the attention "it seemed his respect for her demanded, He only shrugged and asked me PONG SAROY him, "Ihave all I canMake care of with- out listening to your reproaches,'" he said. "I am putting over,----trying to rather,--a big deal. 1 can't be wor- ried about Aunt havirg a good time. You surely should be able to enter- tdin her; her ideas are very simple.' "It isn't that Neil. She is your aunt, I know. But I am fond of her, and I imagine she feels hurt because you aren't with us more." ""Nonsense!--if you want to bring her down town to the Lawyers Club for luncheon to-morrow = you may, Then you can plan for a matinee or something afterward." "That will be nice. I am sure she will le pleased to lunch there. 1 know I always. am. We will take Rob- ert for a drive in the park first. She simply refuses to be separated from him 'and he from her, She told me yesterday that she never thought she could become so fond of a .child as she had of him," "He's a great kid." "You don't half know how cunning the is, you see so little of him. He is-way ahead of his classes; his \teacher told me last week she nad to wid him back, that he was almost too bright for his age, He speaks French wonderfully well, his accent is much better than mine. I 'wish mother hatl made me learn languag.s when I was his age instead of wait- ing until I was almost a young lady.' "Yes, you can't commence too ear- ly," Neil answered but gbsent-mind- edly. That was the way he was now. His mind did not seem to be upon anything 1 said for mote thang a ma ment or two. I longed to beg him to talk to me, to teul me of lis Wu, BAB IS HEARTBROKEN BECAUSE NEIL HAS BEEN DRINKING but did not. When he was trying to float one of his schemes he was im- patient, nervous, and unlike himself. There was one thing he had done, rather left undone since lis aunt came, Not once had I seen him take a drink, neither had 1 detected it on his breath. She was absolutely op- posed to liquor in any form, and I knew ft would pain her greatly should she know that Neil resorted to it, even when worn out uneryous- ly; or when in company with men who habitually indulged. Then one night he came home more nearly drunk than I ever bad seen him. It had happened two days before he had proposed we lunch down town with him. He had not come home tb dinner, had not come in until about midnight. Fortunate- ly his aunt had just gone to her room. He was noisy and = quarrel. some. I had a bad half hour with him. I was so afraid she would hear him and come down to see what the matter was. Finally I got him. to bed, and he soon was sleeping. 1 had become aceustomed to his taking liquor, even ever so little, And to see him in such a maudlin or guarrel- some condition was degrading for him, and for me. In the morning he had been very penitent. Had called me a 'good girl" because I 'had kept it from his aunt and from the servantd. And bad given me his solemn promise never to offend to such an extent again, "If I do I won't come home," he had, added. "But 1 far, rather you would come home than iG-let others see you in that condition," I returned. "It is bad enoigh for me to kaow it. 1 should be ashamed indeed if it were publicly known that you could so far forget Yourself a8 10 drink too much," "You make mountains out of mole- hills, Bab. But don't look so serious, I have promised, haven't 1?" "Yes, dear." But somehow I had- n't the faith in 'his promises I used jo have. But I wouldn't let him see t.

I have no way of meeting @im, would ithe very bold of me to write to ha "I am very unhappy. I simply MUST meet him, he is SO different from the men I meet.' Ha! Ha! Excuse thas little laugh. An actor, my child, isn't a bit men you meet, There ARE no dif- ferent men! Men are well, they are a lot of things, but there are none of them '"'differ- ent." It isn't given to men to be 'dif- ferent," that right As is altogether own- ed by women, All men 'shave (even actors) and before they do so they look like the dickens. All men growl ian the morning because they have mislaid their collar buttons, The only "dif- ferent" attributes that an actor can claini are, that he growls more, and shaves less, It wouldn't be bold of you to write, but it would be very ordinary; probably fifty girls write "to him every week, if they didn't he wouldn't keep his job; and then his poor wife and child (oh, he has them, deading men are only single, professionally) would have to go without spring clothes. Do write to him and boost his stock as a box office attraction; he will possibly send you his picture, and file your letters away with the forty-five hundred others he has received. It's too bad that you have no way of meéting him, because then you would find out that he is just a mid- dle aged man not nearly as nice looking as your own dad---footlights and grease paint are suc h gay de- celvers, SUNBURY TIDINGS, Sd Some Early Grain Up, But Seeding Is Much Delayed.
