But now the term of Matthew's self tmposed guardianship was over. How- ard Joy, Jr, had made a successful start in the world and was quite ready to give dear old Mat any pointers he needed about life in general. As for Miss Evelyn Russell Joy, as & thvariably and unabbreviatingly fHigcribed herself, whom Matthew balled "Eve" or oftener "Miss Idle wild" --well, she, too, bad made a suc- 'start in life after the Manner .

"Mat," he sald abruptly, "it seems {o me Evelyn bas been spending money like the deuce lately. Haven't you been letting her draw her Interest ahead of time?" "Sometimes she has anticipated--a little," he said slowly, "but it is no at matter." But it 1s very bad for her" sald oward, with a parental alr.

Yon can do this because she overdrawn her account." {_ Two or.three days after this visit of Howard's Miss Idiew# went down town to see Matthew in his office at the bank "on business," as sbe sald de- murely. "Give the poor cripple a dime?" she aid In her absurd way. ¢ "Certainly," sald Matthew, with grave politeness, and he took a bright new dime out of a little roll of coins fresh from the mint and handed it to her.

May I have it?" 1 "A lot?" repeated Matthew. 3 "Yes, that's it; at least a hundred." Matthew looked grave. "What Is the special purpose?" he Inquired, fervently hoping she would tell him all about the proposed theater party. "That's a secret," said Miss Idle wild, with an air of mystery. "I cannot let you have any money just now, Eve," be sald gently after a pause, and as he spoke he carefully avoided her eye and stared with rapt absorption at the carpet. "Hereafter," continued Miss Idle- wild, with a grand alr, "T will man- age my own money matters.

All this she said In anger, never @Qreaming that long suffering Mattliew would take her at her word. "Very well" be said, and he was a little paler as he spoke.
