There was nothing doing in the way of booking orders; so he had just been up to have a friendly palaver with the " firm; and now, until Monday came round again, he was as he, put it, "all, out for • a Madge would be waiting with the glad look in her eyes to give him welcome. The afternoon had been marked .fora visit to a pretty little semi-detached which he thought "just the ticket." Bill was. as happy as airy engaged man who sees the dray of days but a few short weeks ahead can be. Everything was rosy. The genial guv'nor had taken the annouuoe- me•nt of his early matrimonial in- tentions with a laugh. .Dill wanted to tell illadge that on the spot, as a rather good one against the mother who did not profess any great affection for him. In the opinion of Mrs. Dodds the rejection of A rchibaid Potts, who was in a bank, was little less than a catastrophe. '`Such .a perfect gentleman, with an assured • posi- tion!" That was Archibald. And :Gill—"a. mere traveller, away all the •week running wild." Oh, she knew` Jauntily Bill stepped oat of the train and scanned the assembly on the platform. Madge was not there. "Something must have prevented her coning," he roused. "Busy shopping, very likely. I'll just drop the bag and toddle round." The smile came back to his face, andhis cheeriest greeting was given to the elderly spinster whom he overteek on his way. "Hello, Mises-Toombs 1" he laugh ed. "Jolly weather—what7" [''sually Miss Toombs was friend- 1; and comrunieative. On this oc- easion, however, after favoring Bill with a chili stare, she crossed the road with her sharp nose in the ,air. Fill slopped dead, and gazed af- ter her in amazement. A few :seconds later he threw an airy wave of the hand to Staggers, the butcher ; but Mr. Staggers looked contemplatively at the sky, gising no sign of recognition. Two or three- inure acquaintances whom he met passed him by as a stran- ger. • • :'This old place has been inoeu•• latera with the hoity-toity germ," Bi11 muttered, as he went on, "Some. body has been spilling bhe ink on my escutcheon," The thought thatthe reason f+xr the slights wail responsible for the non-appeerarnce of Madge pulled him up short, to start him a few seconds • again at speed; andat a gait approaching a run he made kr the Bower. • The aprozied girl opened the door about three e in a curt s inchs, and, :tone of voice, which.told of due'in- structions, rapped out: "Not at 'onset" • Bill was having nue of that: His foot shot forward to frustrate the 1 closing, and, exerting . his brute strength, he forced• his way into the hall. "Kindly tell Miss Madge I'm here," he requested. Just then Mrs. Dodds appeared.: "My daughter," she remarked,. "declines to see you. ,She never -wishes to hear your name again!" "But you're . talking nonsense 1" 13i1I blurted out, forgetting the def- erenee due in his heat. "I demand to see Madge!" "My daughter 'declines to see you," repeated Mrs. Dodds. "And I thank heaven her eyes have been opened to 3 -our true character in time !" Bill didnot wait to hear more. Already he was half -way up the stairs. "Madge," he called out, "what's all this tosnmy-rot' It's me—Bill 1" a0 -oh, go away!" The injunc- tion came in a kind of sob. 13111 pounced on the handle of the door and rattled it violently. "Unlock it!" he cried. "Don't be silly!" • "Go -o -o -o away 1 I never want to see: you again! I hate you!" There was no mistaking the bitter feeling which prompted that little outburst. Bill .stiffened as ha heard it, and the red surged in his round face. "Seems to me everybody in this old piece has gone stark mad 1" Just then the .bell rang, and, at the sound of a suave. voice, Mrs. Dodds drew herself up. "Ah, this is opportune!" she de- clared. "Cottle in, Mrs. Potts." Bill looked gladly at the bank cashier, "Look here, Potts, old sport 1" he burst- oat. "Perhaps 'you can help me. Whet, the dackeiis is the mat- ter with everybody?" "I don't wish to hold any conver- sation. witby-ou, sir!" . returned Mr. Potts haughtily. Bill swung him round roughly. "I'm getting to the bottom. of this right off, Poets!" he asserted, con- trolling himself with .evidenb,efftirt. "I'llbe back pretty shortly. If 4 find you're the viper, I'll draw your sting!" In his room, while awaiting the appearance of Mrs. Phenjoe, Bill opened his letters. The first was from the chairman :of a, local; club requesting his resignation of uiem- berahip. The next was from an old friend of his father's; wlio had been hisgodfather, telling him "never to darken his doors again." a id/toys re or ( _ rtj 004, lifolteT 13 is ••i• Sit: ��pp.ti�!d6r d4+ There Is,;aa ilei, rrt bl1 11i (S1N They ate bald -.ora axtfsrtivo utaraasrtetl that the itleure ii l{I o aand33laddor .P�' [' •r F _ -= roubles 311•beaatriatisni andySotatiea, Pale in the 1lacize f, etc. X after taping ti boXes, you rata hor eutlysey- that Gin rills b eve it cared you, take the empty boxes to your Gensler and he will settled t'bo money.
