His head, bare In the sunshine, was sliver, and the lean, clever face she remembered was clear olive In Coloring, and brightened now with a most winning and kindly smile.- Ellen's first rather awed Impression was of poise, reserve, selfconfidence. Authority spoke in the pleasant voice, and every inch of the man was stamped to her young vision with a fineness, an aristocracy, a something that marked him superior to others. In the midst of the first jumhle of explanations from the newcomers, as to their reasons for leaving Great Harrington, and their first details of the trip, Mrs. Rose dlstresSedly interrupted. "Gibbs--Gibbs. my dear boy," stammered she, holding his hand In both her fat ones, and fixing upon him a look all Imploring and conciliator. "You know your father Is here, dear-- I wouldn't have had It happen for anything In the whole world--hut he and Lillian got in on Wednesday, and lie telephoned me at once to come down and lunch with them--I really do feel terrible about it--" Gibbs Josselyn had flushed up to .the gflver crest, but he smiled Upon her not unkindly. "Dad's here, eh?" "Yes. Gibbs--and--Lillian!" "Gosh, that is awkward!" ejaculated Ward Rose, with a sharp, anxious look at his guest. "Not awkward a bit." Josselyn said quickly. "Of course you had to have them, I'm glad you did--but of course I won't meet her. I'll be getting right along, and see you soon--" "Listen, Gibbs--she's really quite nice!" Mrs. Rose said eagerly. "Do-- do be reasonable about It! Your father-- your father isn't going to have any more children, Gibbs, and you •Imply--" "Gibbs Is the best judge of what he wants to do. my dear!" her husband interrupted nervously, with a hint of disapproval in his tone. "I wouldn't-- I think I wouldn't try to force matters, Abby. We're awfully sorry, my dear boy, but you understand--of course 1 had no idea--" Mrs. Rose looked despair.

Mrs. Rose continued to protest, but she kissed Ellen goodby none the less, and her hushand ran with the two young persons down the steps, tucked Ellen's bag into the bock of the car. and forced her to slip Into his big fur coat for the two-mile trip. "Leave It In the office some day, Gibbs," he said. "Yon can make It, I guess! Goodby, Miss-- Awfully sorry, >Ul boy, but such things will occur. Abby's all upset about it, I know." Young Josselyn put Ellen Into the car, and tucked the heavy robe snugly about her. In another ten seconds he had sprung into his own seat; and waved a goodby to the watching Roses. The roaring of the egr drowned out all farewells. A day or two ago Ellen might have felt It her place to keep the conversation moving. But the last torty-eight lours had been full of painful lessons for her; she knew better now than to attempt any friendly overtures. Boys younger than she had snubbed her, girls of seventeen had looked upon her askance. So she kept absolutely silent, her bright eyes moving between the rur of her hat and the fur of her collar like those of a timid but interested bird. ' As the car was brought neatly against the'Station platform, she began to free herself from' her wrappings, and said politely: • "I'm a thousand times obliged to you, Mr. Josselyn!" "I don't know whether you are or not," he said, narrowing his eyes at' her quizzically. "1 thiak we've missed it!" "Missed it! Oh, goodness!" E^len echoed in dismay. "Stay where you are," he said, jumping from his seat. "I'll find out." He crossed the station platform and disappeared, and Ellen sat In a panic, waiting for him. Oh, she couldn't go back to that house, and have the whole thing begin over again-- "Yes, ma'am, we've missed it," said Gibbs Josselyn, coming back, and leaning against the car with sympathetic eyes on her face. "Was it pretty important, or what? The next is at onetwenty- two." "It's not so important," Ellen said, in a troubled voice. "But I don't like to go back--I'll wait here!" "What--until after onfc o'clock !H "Yes, 1 think so." Ellen answered firmly. "I--I don't know them very well," she went on confusedly. "And-- and I think I rather worry Mrs. Rose, not getting on exactly with the others." She stopped, conscious that this explanation was rather liime, and added finally: "You see, they all know each other so well, and they don't know me!" "I see perfectly," Gibbs said pleasantly. "You would be safer in a band of Hottentots!" Ellen laughed. Her white night had only added a touch of mystery, of spirituality, to her Irish beauty, after all. and the drive, after her breakfast, had brought back her wild-rose color. The man looked at her as if he saw her for the first time, looked down at his l>lg fur glove, plunged his hand suddenly into it, and asked carelessly: "You couldn't make the run with me. 1 suppose? I'm going straight down to my club. It won't take us more than a couple of hours." The girl's hint* eves danced. The thought of a refusal never entered her head. "Oh, Td love It!" she answered happily. "Good girl!" he said. He walked about his car, eyeing It from all sides, opened the engine-hood and made a few mysterious Investigations, got back in his place, and they were off. H^r companion, whq was wearing dark goggles, turned to Ellen and dropped another pair of glasses In her lap. with the four brief words: "Better put them on." Ellen obediently snapped them a dubious glance and a half-satisfied ood. But after a while he spoke. "I guess you're right. You probably are. I guess I'm Just out of sortsmaking too much of the whole thing!" The car slowed down. Gibbs looked at the fastening on one of his big cloves, shot Ellen a glance. a "Have you got a mother?" "No," Ellen answered. "My mother Is dead." "So Is mine," he said soberly. "I loved her very much. I don't--I don't get used to It!" "I'm sorry*!" the girl said, simply, after a moment. For a few minutes he was silent. Then he suddenly began to speak of his mother. "I don't know why." he rfsld unexpectedly. "but I wish you had known my mother. She was a most extraordinary person. She was frail always, I think, and when I was a boy about eighteen or nineteen, she had an 111- nes6. and she never left her couch after that--for twelve years.

After awhile he • glanced at her, smiled a sudden and perfunctory smile, and said: "I'm pleasant company for yonhat? Have you minded my chatter?" Ellen laughed. In some embarrassment. I didn't mind--not talking!" she said, shyly. "You--what!" he asked In so loud a voice that she felt rather frightened. 'You didn't mind? Well, that's so much gained, anyway." He drove on for a minute or two, and then asked abruptly: "Miss Latimer, how much of that did you get?" Ellen was not quite sure she understood him. "You mean--there at the house?" she faltered, as he gave her a shrewd side glance. "Exactly!" "1 knew that Mr. that your father was there!" (he girl'said, timidly. Gibbs wrenched at the wheel with large, strong hands; Ills brow clouded; they flew along In silence. D--n such women!" she heard him say under his breath. Ellen felt, her color rise, she looked straight ahead. "1 wonder if she arranged that!" Ellen's qui<;k look met his; she shook her head decidedly. "Mrs. Rose? Oh. no ! She wouldn't do a thing like that! Shewas frightfully nervous the instant She saw you," she answered confidently. "She's too good-hearted--she wouldn't do a thing like that!" Again he did not answer, except tor "I Never Had Such a Wretched, Uncom fortable Time in My Life; Perhaps ] It Was My Own Fault!" sponsibillty I came home when my father wrote me" that she was ill. I've never forgotten her look when I came into the garden. It was summer, and she was lying on the porch--thin, and so wliife--" Ellen hardly dared breathe. She had never had a man's confidence before. "I gave up my painting, and I went Into the firm with my father," he pursued. "A year ago, we were both In the library with her. when shewell, she just gave a sort of sigh, that was all. Her heart got tlfed. there was no pain. And for a while we, thought my father was going, too. He drooped and brooded--if was ghastly. He'd always been so young for his age. But now he seemed broken, somehow !" Ellen cast about for something to say, fearful of chilling his mood. "He seems young now," she ventured at last. "Now? Of course he does!" Gibbs assented half-angrlly. "Mind you," he added, speaking fast and vigorously, "mind you, he hud a perfect right to remarry if he felt like It. That's his affair. But to marry this pink-cheeked, empty-headed, stupid cloak model--If she was that! I only saw her once. She was engaged, when my father met her, fo a' big black-mustached fello\y who had a couple of living wives. That's her measure! The fellows began to hint to me about It six months ago; I didn't believe It. Then I saw my father with her one night, having dinner; at Sherry's. 1 think it was. I thought--" He glanced at his companion suddenly. - "Well, you're only a kid." he said, more gently. "But I never dreamed this would come of it!" Ellen's color rose. "But--but there Is nothing disgraceful in his marrying her," she said bravely. "And--and If I were your mother 1 would rather he did that thftn--than ^lld. anything that wasn't fair to her!" Gibbs drove on In silence. She thought perhaps he had not been listening. „ "You're quite right, my dear." he said presently. In a softened tone. "You make me feel ashamed of myself. A good woman has the trick of putting her finger right on the vital spot sometimes, and I believe my mother would agreP with you!" Ellen's happy color flooded her sensitive face. "I've not seen my father since this thing happened, two months ago. I suppose they told you that?" Gibbs said. "I've not been home since. I suppose he's established her there. If they got In on Wednesday, and she's prowling among my mother's books and laces and jewelry. I can't--I can't quite go It. Th£ world's big enough, and people will stop buzzing about us presently. Let her have her tnoney and position and good times, I df>n't grudge them. God knows. But I feel us if It wasn't only my mother who died a year ago. hut my father, too. and the old days, and the old ways of thinking. Some day--I don't know-- I'll go in and see the old man, and we'll have a talk--" "But you've not met her?" Ellen asked thoughtfully, when his voice had dropped to silence. "She doesn't seem to me the cloak-model type." t "Pretty. eh Y" he asked, will) dry interest. "Oh, extrenlely! She's more than pretty, she really has a lovely face, and I think she is clever, too. She's studying French and music, and she-- well, she has a way of keeping silent that mafces other* women seem like chatter-boxes!" "It must be lots of fun to play her game." Gibbs said musingly. "Watching every chance, studying the Social Register as If It were her catechism, picking up bridge and French and music ! I wonder if my father sees through It?" "It wouldn't be Worth while to n»e. rot if I was left a million dollars," Ellen contributed. "There's too much that's uncomfortable about It. And If I had daughters, I wouldn't want them to think that only money counted. I don't mean that I could do It, even if I did want to!" she said hastily. "There's nothing In It for the" people who chase It all their lives." Gibbs observed. "And the real people--the ones who are born to It, don't know they have It--so there you are! Yon can't buy anything real with money, as I see you suspect. Well, now I've talked you to death about me, and told you my maiden name and everything, ahd It's your turn. You didn't drop out of the sky, I suppose, just to give me an excuse to blow off steam? You live in--?" . "Port VVashlngton, Long Island. Age, twenty-two," Ellen said demurely. She told him about her grandfather, and Joe, and her work at the Art league. It pleased her to be able to paint Mrs. Rose in the colors of a generous benefactress. to show him what a difference the friendship of the kindly old meddler bad made in her life. She said that she lived in an old-fashioned village house, and that Aunt Elsie was Ansldered the best housekeeper In the village, and that her tomatoes and Ellen's dahlias had twice taken prizes at tbe Mineola fair. "You sound quaint," said Gibbs, "and as if you might have a melodeon In the parlor." "We have!" Ellen said, dimpling and widening her eyes' as she smiled at him. i After that they rsn on for a while In contented silence until he stopped the car at one side uf the road, and took off his glasses. Ellen took her own off, too, and looked at him in some surprise, as they blinked at each other In the strong light. "We are now forty miles from Columbus Circle, and it is one o'clock," said Gibbs. "How do you feel a"hout luncheon? A place called 'Adrian's' is about three miles from here, and I am a frail young thing, and I've not had any breakfast!" The conventional aspect of the affair struck Ellen for the first time. She looked at him gravely, and her ready color crept up. She did not know him. her chaperon was even unaware that she was in his care. Men loved to get foolish girls into strange places. Aunt Elsie said, and a girl never made a mistake In refusing when she was In doubt. Gibbs'was smiling at bar Obvious hesitation. " "You know you're safe with me. Kiddie, don't you?" he .asked. "You know I wouldn't take you nnywliere that I wouldn't take my mother?" That settled it. Ellen had not been born yesterday, after all. She had her owu stern girlish standard of judgment, and she knew she was safe, ^he luncheon was a perfectly natural part of the trip; they were both hungry. And he had not had any breakfast! She made him an answer that pleased him deeply, although he apparently conceded It nothing but a satisfied nod, and immediately hid his eyes under the glasses again. "If you say it's all right, I know It must be." So they went to "Adrian's,"\a big, shabby hostelry set upon a rise of ground, and provided with wide verandas for the summer crowds; verandas deserted now under their bare awning frames. The meal came, hot and odorous and appetizing, and they talked while they ate. Gibbs told her of his first acquaintance with 'Mrs. Rose. "I was a small kid of ten or twelve, in Rome, do you see? And she was there with her first husband, Torrey. My mother was kind to her, we were at the same hotel, and she was awfully kind to me. She had a brother with her, about my age, and we saw a good deal of each other. Later, when she was a widow, she turned up In Paris with the two children. My mother and father were staying there for a while, before leaving me there to study. And later, she came here, and married Rose, who is a darn nice fellow, and now of course she regards me as a member of her family." "She went to school in Boston with my mother," Ellen said. "But I never saw her until a few years ago. Now that I've visited her I can see just the careless way she suddenly thought of Inviting me to her Thanksgiving house party. I never liad such a wretched, uncomfortable time In my life: perhaps it was my own fault!" )E ODD BEQUESTS ID GAVE REASONS Canadian Expoaed Peculiar • Trait* of Relative*. 8t Hon.

The main portions follow: I, William Dunlop, of Balrbrald. In the Township of Colborne, County and district of Huron, Western Canada, Esquire, being in sound health and body, and my mind just as usual (which my friends who flatter me say is no great shakes at the best of times), do make this my last Will and Testament as follows, revoking, of course, all former Wills. I leave the property of Gairbrald and all other landed property I may die possessed of to my sisters Helen Boyle Story and Elizabeth Boyle Dunlop, the former because she Is married to a Minister whom she henpecks--the latter because she is married to nobody nor is she like to be, for she is an pld maid and not marketrife. and also I leave to them, and their heirs, my share of the stock and Implements on the farm, provided always that the enclosure round my brother's grave be reserved, and If either should die without issue, then the other to inherit the whole. • I. leave to my sister-in-law, Louisa Dunlop, all my share of the household j furniture and such traps with the exceptions hereinafter mentioned.

On August 20. 1883, a succession of violent explosions began which lasted until the morning of August 28. Half of the island was blown into fragments. Where one of the peaks, 1,100 feet high, had stood was a submarine cavity more than a thousand feet - The mass of stones and dust thrown upon some of the adjacent islands was so great as to bury their forests and largely augment their land area. The actual sounds of the explosions were so great that they were heard at Rodriguez, 3.000 miles awny. Never before or since have sound waves been heard at such, very gr««t distances.
