T was the cottage of a New York millionaire which had fallen to Brewster. The owner had, for the time, preferred Italy to St. Augus- tine and left his estate, which was well located and lavishly equipped, in the hands of his friends. Brewster‘s lease covered three months, at a fabu- lous rate per month. With Joe Brag- don installed as manager in chief, his establishment was transferred bodily from New York, and the rooms were soon as comfortable as their grandeur would permit. Brewster was not al- lowed to take advantage of his horses and the new automobile which preced- ed him from New York, but to his guests they offered unlimited opportu- nities. Nopper Harrison had remained in the north to renew arrangements for the now hated ball and to look after the advance details of the yacht cruise. Dr. Lotless and his sister, with Sub- way Smith and the Grays, made up Brewster’s party. Lotless dampened Monty’s spirits by relentlessly putting him on rigid diet, with most discourag. ing restrictions upon his conduct. The period of convalescence was to be an exceedingly trying one for the invalid. At first he was kept indoors, and the hours were whiled away by playing cards, but Monty considered bridge the pons asinorum and preferred to play piquet with Pegg . It was one of these games that the girl interruptâ€" ed with a question that had troubled her for many days. “Monty,” she said, and she found it much more dimcnlt than when she had rehearsed the scene in the silence of her walks, “I’ve heard Wouldn’t it be pleasanter to have them A heavy gloom settled upon Brew-‘ ster's face, and the girl’s heart dropped like lead. She had puzzled over the estrangement and wondered if by any effort or her own things could be set right. At times she had had flashing bones that it did not mean as much to Monty as she had thought. but down underneath, the fear that he was un- happy seemed the only certain thing in life. She felt that she must make sure. And together with the very hu- man desire to know the worst was the puritanical impulse to bring it about. _.L â€"‘AAA here?” “You forget that this is the last. place they would care to invade." And in Brewster‘s face Peggy seemed to read that for her martyrdom was the only wear. Bravely she put it on. ('sll. Us. v v -.._ r _ "Monty. I forget nothing that I real- ly know. But this is a case in which you are quite wrong. Where is your Sporting blood? You have never fought a losing fight before, and you can’t do it now. You have lost your nerve. Monty. Don‘t you see that this is the time for an aggressive campaign?" Somehow she was not saying things at all as she had planned to say them. and his gloom weighed heavily upon her. “You don't mind, do you, Monty,” she added more softly, “this sort of thing from me? I know I ought not to1 interfere. but I‘ve. known you so long.1 and I hate to see things twisted by a very little mistake.” But Monty did mind enormously. He had no desire to talk about the thing anyway, and Peggy‘s anxiety to marry him off seemed a bit unnecessary. Man- lfestly her own interest in him was of the coldest. From out of the gloom he looked at her somewhat sullenly. For the moment she was thinking only of his pain. and her face said nothing. “Perhaps she 3 right,” she exclaimed, a little hot. “Perhaps you have never idiscovered that girls say many things ito hide their emotions. Perhaps you i don t realize what rev erish, exclamatoâ€" . ry. foolish things girls are. They don’t i know how to be honest with the men Ethey love, and they wouldn’t it they did. You are little short of an idiot, is Monty Brewster, if you believed the things she said rather than the things she looked.” “Peggy.” he exclaimed finally, re- senting the necessity of answering her, “you don't in the least know what you are talking about. It is not a fit of an- get on Baébam Drew's part. It is a se- rious conviction.” “A conviction which can be changed.” the girl broke in. “Sat at all.” Brewster took it up. “She has no faith in me. She thinks I’m an ass.” And Peggy. fiery and determined and defiantly unhappy, threw down her cards and escaped so that she might not prove herself fearfully feminine. ‘ She left Brewster still heavily envel- ‘ oped in melancholy. but she left him puzzled. He began to wonder if Bar- bara Drew did have something in the . back of her mind. Then he found his ‘ thoughts wandering 01! toward Peggy and her defiance. He had only twice before seen her in that mood. and he liked it. He remembered how she had lost her temper once when she was fif- teen and hated a girl he admired. Sud. denly he laughed aloud at the thought of the fierce little picture she had made. gnd the gloom which had been so sed- ulously cultivated was dissipated in a moment. The laugh surprised the man who brought in some letters. One of them was' from Rapper Harrison and gave him all the private news. The ball was. to 10,6 51W!!!“ mid-Lent, wing: ar- £3..le By GEORGE BARR M‘CUTCHEON (RICHARD GREAVES) m’ea'tm'vam the em of Mar’ch, and ne- gotiations were well under way for the chartering of the Flitter, the steam yacht belongifig to Reginald Brown, late of Brown Brown. The letter made Brewster chafe un- der the bonds of inaction. His afiairs were getting into a discouraging state. The illness was certain to entail a loss of more than 350.000 to his business. His only consolation came through Har- rison‘s synopsis of the reports from Gardner, who was managing the brief American tour of the Viennese orches- tra. Quarrels and dissensions were becoming everyday embarrassments, and the venture was an utter failure from a financial point of view. Bro- ken contracts and lawsuits were turn- ing the tour into one continuous round of losses, and poor Gardner was on the point of despair. From the begin- ning. apparently. the concerts had been marked for disaster. Public inditIer~ ence had aroused the scorn of the iras- cible members of the orchestra. and there was imminent danger of a col- lapse in the organization. Gardner liv- ed in constant fear that his troop of quarrelsome Hungarians would finish their tour suddenly in a pitched battle with daggers and steins. Brewster smiled at the thought of the practical Gardner trying to smooth down the electric emotions of these musicians. - V Afew days later Mrs. Prentiss Drew and Miss Drew registered at the Ponce Peggy threw down her cards and escaped. de Leon, and there was much specula- tion upon the chances for a reconcilia- tion. Monty, however, maintained a strict silence on the subject and refus- ed to satisfy the curiosity of his friends. cu tv Uu;|u..v -_.., v“--- Mrs. Drew had brought down a small crowd. including two pretty Kentucky girls and a young Chicago millionaire. She lived well and sensibly and with none of the extravagance that charac- terized the cottage. Yet it was in- evitable that Brewster’s guests should see hers and join some of their riding parties. Monty pleaded that he was not well enough to be in these excur- sions, but neither he nor Barbara cared to overemphasize the estrangement. Peggy Gray was in despair over Mon- ty‘s attitude. She had become con- vinced that behind his pride he was: cherishing a secret longing for Bar- bara. Yet she could not see how the walls were to be broken down it he maintained this icy reserve. She was sure that the masterful tone was the one to win with a girl like that, but ; evidently Monty would not accept ad- vice. That he was mistaken about Bar- bara‘s feeling she did not doubt for a moment, and she saw things going i hOpelessly wrong for want of a word. - !-A. annifl “UFCIVDQJ.V 'V .Vua â€"v_ .

Miss Drew, of tak- ing an attitude like that? I know the situation pretty well. and I can’t be- lieve that either Monty or you have lost in :1 week a feeling that was so deep seated. I know Monty much too well to think that he would change so eas- . ily.” Peggy still lived largely in her ideals. “And you are too fine a thing not to have suffered under this misun- derstanding. It seems as if a very small word would set you both straight.” Barbara drew herself up and kept her eyes on the road, which lay white and gleaming in the sun. “I have not the least desire to be set straight.” And she was never more serious. “But it was only a few weeks ago that you were engaged.” “I am sorry,” answered Barbara. ‘ “that it should have been talked about so much. Mr. Brewster did ask me to marry him, but I never accepted. In did think about it. I confess that I rather liked him. But it was not long before I found him out.” ‘ “What do you mean ‘2” And there was a flash in Peggy’s eyes. “What has he not?” Miss Drew said in her slow, cool voice, and even Peggy’s loyalty admit- ted some justification in the criticism. “Generosity has ceased to be a vir- tne, then?” she asked coldly. “Generosity!” exclaimed Barbara sharply. “It’s sheer idiocy.

And don’t you see that a year nay make him an abject beggar?” “Naturally anything is preferable to a beggar,” came in Peggy’s clear, soft voice. Barbara hesitated only a moment. “Well, you must admit, Miss Gray, that it shows a shameful lack of char- acter. How could any girl be happy with a man like that? And, after all, one must look out for one’s own fate.” “Undoubtedly,” replied Peggy, but many thoughts were dashing through her brain. “Shall we turn back to the cottage?" «he said after an awkward silence. “You certainly don’t approve of Mr. Brewster’s conduct?” Barbara did not like to be placed in the wrong and felt that she must endeavor to justify her- self. “He is the most reckless of spendthrifts, we know, and he prob- ably indulges in even less respectable excitement.” Peggy was not tall, but she carried her head at this moment as though she were in the habit of looking down on the world. “It is not only New York that laughs over his Quixotic transactions,” Bar- bara persisted. “Mr. Hampton, our guest from Chicago, says the stories are worse out there than they are in the east.” Aren‘t you going a little too far. Miss Drew?" she asked placidly. “It is a pity that Monty’s' illness should have made him so weak,” said Peggy quietly as they turned in through the great iron gates, and Bar- bara was not slow to see the point.

Lots of people regard every request made to them, either verbal or in writing, to settle a bill. as a dun. A dun is supposed to be more or less ofiensive. Just why any man should find fault when some one to whom he ,‘fg' owes money asks him to pay it is £235 more than we have been able to com _ ' pprehend. If you owe a man mone, you ought to pay him if you can. If I you cannot. it is your business to ex- plain why you cannot. Most people intend some time or other to pay their bills, but not many are as prompt as they should he or as they should like others to be. It is a very easy matter when asked to pay a bill. to explain to the creditor why you can not do it and ask for some time. The debtor will generally get extra time if he is a reasonable man. The eanperating thing in connection . with creditors is to write letter after letter, or send statement after state- ment to a debtor. and have him ignore them apparently with silent contempt It is under such circumstances that the creditor gets irrated and gives theaccount perhaps to an attorney. when exercising a little sense on the part of the debtor, the matter could be' easily and amicably adjusted. Do not look on a dunn to irritate you. ‘It is right of a creditor to ask for his money, when he does not get it. and. to keep asking at intervals till he |does get it.â€"Hanover Post.
