He wore a rather threadbare frock coat, unevenly bound with braid, and had a sallow. sunken and rather long face. It was Samuel Craig, one of the two private bankers of the town. He was about sixty years of age and had a pronounced stoop. “I've had three in the last six years,” laughed Miller. “You know how much larger Todd Selman is than I am.

When everything was in readiness, the floor manager piloted the dancers downstairs. From the office Alan saw them filing into the big room and tak- ing seats in the chairs arranged against the walls on all sides. He saw Frank Hillhouse and Dolly Barclay sit down near the hand; the salesman had dis- appeared. Alan threw his cigar away and went straight to her. As the two friends entered the big parlor Alan espied the girl about whom he had been thinking all day. She was seated in one of the deep, lace cur- tained windows behind the piano. Frank Hillhouse was Just presenting to her a faultlessly attired traveling salesman. At this juncture one of the floor managers with a white rosette on his lapel called Miller away to ask his advice about some details and Alan turned out of the parlor into the wide ‘ corridor which ran through the house. He did this in obedience to another unwritten law governing Darley’s so- cial intercourseâ€"that it would be im- polite for a resident gentleman to in- trude himself upon a stranger who had just been introduced to a lady. So he went down to the ground floor and strolled into the oflice. It was full of tobacco smoke and a throng of men, some of whom were from the country and others from the town drawn to the hotel by the festivities. From the oflice a door opened into a bar and billiard room, whence came the click- ing of ivory balls and the grounding of cues. Another door led into the large dining room, which had been cleared of its tables that Jt might be used for dancing. There were a sawing of flddles, the twanging of guitars, the jingle of tambourines and the groan ing of a bass viol. The musicians, black and yellow, occupied chairs on one of the tables, which had been placed against the wall; and one of the floor managers was engaged in j whittling paramn candles over the floor and rubbing it in with his feet. Seeing what he was doing, some of the young men, desirous of trying their new patent leather pumps, came in and began to wait: singly and in con- pies. Rayburn miller and Alan sat smok- ing and talking in the room or the latter till half past 9 o'clock. and then they went down. As a general rule. young men were expected to escort ladies to dances when the young men went at all, but Alan was often ex- cused from so doing on account of liv- ing in the country, and Miller had broken down every precedent in that respect and never invited a girl to go with him. He atoned for this short- coming by contributing most liberally to every entertainment given by the young people, even when he was out of town. He used to say he liked to graze and nibble at such things and feel free to go to bed or business at had pinned a small bouquet on his lapel. so that it would have been 1m- posslble to tell whether a man had a natural taste for flowers or was the willing victim to a taste higher than his own. are themselves than they would have been to a spectator used to convention- al style of dress. ey could be seen In all stages or in ptabiuty to fig. urea too large or too small, and even after the dance began there were sev- eral swaps ‘and a due amount or con- gratulation on the improvement from the appreciative ralr sex.

But it was an acknowledged fact among the society girls of Barley that if a girl refused to go out with any young man in good standing it was not long before she was left at home oftener than was pleasant. Dolly was easily the best looking girl in the room-not perhaps the most dalntily pretty, but she pos- sessed a beauty which strength of character and intellect alone could give to a face already well featured. Even her physical beauty alone was of that texture which gives the beholder an agreeable sense of solidity. She was well formed, above medium height, had a beautiful neck and shoulders, dark gray eyes and abundant golden brown hair.
