Leith gave me the impression that her uncle was a very dignified old gentleman. whose Ideas concerning the pian she should marry were that he should waltz a chalk line. This did not indicate that my chances for pleasing the old man were very good, for, if ever a young- ster was full of Old Nick, I was that youngster. - I'er coutra, my aunt had been In her Youth a society girl, a flirt, fond of Horse racing, yachting, and bad even been so vicious as to play cards for money. Edith was'just the reverse of this; a young woman Of reserve and dignity and, withal, very religious. Naturally it was essential that 1 should be acceptable to Edith's uncle and that Edith should please my aunt, for neither- Edith nor I had any for- tune and had both been brought up 1n luxury. Edith's uncle was worth $00,- 000 in 0 per cent bonds, while my aunt had something more than this in web rented real estate. The problem be- fore me and my fiancee was to make her nude believe that I was n very steady and well behaved young man, and to make my aunt think that Eolith was a woman of the world, After a long conference in which va- rious plans were discussed we decided that we would begin with my aunt. 1 was to introduce Edith to her, and Edith was to put on as much sports, ness as she could, though I bad mis- givings as to her deceiving my aunt, for it was born in Edith to be dignified, and she had no sympathy whatever with that license which pertains to people of the gay world. However, it was arranged that my aunt was to call on my fiancee, after which we three were to pass an evening together at my aunt's house. The evening after this call L want io' see Ediith and found her in a very dis• iresied state of mind:- "Why did you tell me that Miss Mar, tindale was a woman of the world?" she said. 9 I commenced soon after she appeared to talk freely, and kept it up, while she listened to me without betraying any sympathy with the ideas I expressed, and she finally arose, evidently very much disgusted with me, and took her departure." ' "What did you say?" - "Why, I began by cracking jokes about our forthcoming marriage, say- ing that 1 hoped when you were out late at poker parties. your cempaniOhe iioiililn't 'haveto set you up a,itiest the 'trout door avid ring the bell "', ' ' ''!!pat • 414 She' say to that?".

"Perhaps it was because you said it all insted4 of doing It. Aunt Bate was probably • shocked at the bare state- ment, while she would pot have mind- ed the acts mentioned." "I am afraid you don't understand your aunt• At nuy rate, 1 Naive an- tagonized her, and 1 .think you'll find that if you marry' me she will net leave you a cent of her money." I went straight to my aunt to hear what she had to -say about the matter, •but she locked her tongue and would give me no satisfaction. I judged, however, that she bad not been over• plot -eel with my fiancee. Doubtless Edith bad overdone the mallet.. The next thing to be clone was for lie to snake the nc'ttnintance of Mr' Springer. 1?tlsth's wealthy uncle. 11e MHO ltli that 1 was to stay WWI nim at his house and desired her to in nem him what train l would coae on. set ht+ nicht 4c'na1 Itis ear to the eta - tee "1,. Sal, ee • e 411111 the d ,s1r,': iuf'oriiiaiion, and cue ` fiktt morning T boarded the train, resolved to make a better impresslon on Edith's uncle than she had made on my aunt. One thing I determined to guard against -that was, overdoing it. I had not been long on the train when a gentleman asked me if Iwould make one of four to play whist. Glad to while away the time, I consented. I wethe partner of the gentleman, who invited me to oleo, find the stake, beginning at a quarter a -corner, fftiS gradually increased to a dollar. But our antagonists got the idea that I and my partner were a pair of professional gamblers Nebo were intending to "do" thein and soon retired from the game. This threw my partner and myself together, be assuming considerable bonhomie. He had a flask with him and invited me to join him in emptying It. 1 hesitated, fearing that when 1 met Mr, Springer In the evening he would smell my breath. But my new Lound friend was so urgent that I at last consented. Then he brought out some One Havana cigars and proposed that we go into the smoking compart- ment of the car for a smoke. Again. I objected, for if a whisky breath is bad a whisky and tobacco breath is worse. But a smoke after a drink is especially enjoyable, so again 1 yielded. After our smoke my companion pro- posed a game of vingt et un, to which I assented, and the luck, being ou my side, when the train rolled into the station where we were to alight 1 had taken $76 from my antagonist. Ile didn't complain, nor did he ask me to meet biro again for his revenge, being just as cheery at the parting as he had been at the meeting. I found Mr. Springer's car at the station and, getting in, was whisked to his home. When I arrived I was told that he was not at home, but was ex• pected soon. 1 was shown to a room, where 1 made a toilet, taking care to use some aromatic tooth powder I had with me to destroy the odor of whisky and tobacco ou my breath. I also di- vested myself of my traveling suit, which was saturated with tobacco smoke. Having got as well rid as pos- sible of these telltales, I went down into the library, where I found an evening paper. I was engrossed in the paper when, hearing a footstep, I looked 'up, and great was rey astonishment. A man stood before me with a benign smile on his face, and who should he be but the person who had sought my ac- quaintance on the train and whom 1 ..had relieved of $7G. He offered bis Mind and said: "I'm glad to see you, my dear boy, I can tell you at once that I heartily approve of you. We can't trust one an- other in this world when we are warn cd, so I concluded to take you un- awares." "B-b-b-ut I thought were a"- "So 1 am in business and among women and children, but I know what a young man is, for I've been one my- self. So I concluded to go back to the days of my wild oats and see yon as you are, not as you would preteud to be. I'm very fond of my niece and wish her to -marry a man, not a snivel- ing, driveling fellow who pretends totic goodness while his inclinations are o• erwise. I slave tounci' you perfectly honorable and you played a fair ganie. I'll shay this, even if you aid relieve Inc of my money. Come iii to dinner." 'Mr. Springer did not let me go for several days. He was not the man he had been on the train, but was no prude. Ile 'wits much engrossed in business, and this did not • give him time for dissipation even, if ho was tuclined that way, and he wits no so. inclined. 1 went beck to Edith with a far hotter report of my status with her uncle than she had given me. et her status with my Mint. found that Aunt Kate had been called away for a few days, and 1 was obliged to go to Edith to be informed as to the situation. She told ale that Illy nttiut had written her a brief note, spying that on her return and mine she would be pleased to see us nt her house to spend an evening. i gave Edith an account of my meeting with her sur- prised., at Which she was much sur- prise. "lou men aro very queer," she said, A. few days after my return 1 reeeiv ed a telephone message from Aunt Kate that 1 was to fetch Edith to her house for dinner acid to spend the evening. On the evening in question I called for 'Edith, and she said that She would try to undo the impression she had made upon my aunt. I told her that she would better act herself and not try to appear to be any one else. Aunt Kate was very. shrewd and not to be Pooled, We found onr hostess got iip in her finest costntne, extremely decollete and with plenty of adornment. She gave Cdith a smack and warmly pressed my, hand. Cartons to know why she you were - ht�d boon so dirrerenn with Edith` der. ing her call, 1 entered upon the sub- ject at once. "Edith told me site had shocked you, Aunt Kate," I said, "Shocked Mel She was trying to Tool me. Do you suppose I don't know a woman of the world? Why, my dear, you could never be bad even, if you tried ever so hard, Come in to din. ner." What o. relief, bot* and. to Lrditli In 'FOW'Ttappy we we're at having so successfully passed the or- deal required. But we had done troth - lug to further the issue. Edith's uncle and my aunt bad taken pains to pre- vent our imposing ou them to seeus as we were and not as we Would have pretended, Our dinner was a most enjoyable one, but Edith and. 1 agreed that it would have been far more delightful if we could have had her uncle with us. Ara unt, who had the faculty of y udapting herself to the person she was with, behaved herself remarkably well. Indeed, so .circumspect was she that Edith conceived the idea that we were trying to impose upon her; that Aunt Kate had maligned herself and T had borne her out in the deception, - Another dinner we enjoyed quite as well -that was with Edith's uncle, We threatened to make a match between the two, but they had passed too far into bachelorhood and spinsterhood, so we were obliged to be content with the match between ourselves. It appeared later that Mr, Springer had a double motive for taking the trouble to travel with me Incognito. He was getting old and wished to re- tire. Since he had no son to succeed him and Edith was like a daughter to him he conceived the idea of working me into the management of his bust ness. The result was tont in time 1 became its head.
