CHAPTER X. .
PLATTERINt ar.ND UNEXPECTED.
As a conscientious man, Russell could not
fully persuade himselfthat Brown's desire
,fon Miss Ray's intellectual advancement
would be adequately met by the work of the
Society for General Culture. If the society
should map out a plan for itself at any meet-
ing he foresaw that at the time of the next
assembly there would be at least seven
different: ideas of what that plan had been,
and seven opinions of any thing that might
be offered as a substitute. The resulting de-
bates would not be in the•]ine of mental pro-
gress.
But: it was Lot because of these consider-
ations that Rtt3ntell continued to- call upon
Miss. Ray as frequentlfas the circumstances
would permit. Ile went because he found it
more and more agreeable to do so. He was
becoming even deeper involved in money-
making schemes of a nature ill calculated to
make a man feel at peace with himself.
These fanciful projects appeared to spring up
without his volition and to control him. Ile
was their creature. They gave him a living,
but for all he could see they might cut him
off with a shilling any day. He regarded
himffelf as an inflated fraud, and though this
was on the whole rather pleasant at first,
he enjoyed the variety of feeling honest once
in a while.
And when such a desire canto to him he
gilled upon Agee Ray, and talked of the
subjects which interested her as frankly as
she herself, and derived a pleasure which
he didnot understand, but which came to
him because he really was honest in regard
to her, and hadn't a thought in his brain
which couldn't have into safely photograph-
ed for her inspection or Brown's. He liked he:
simply as- he liked sunshine and fresh air.
She was so. palpably innocent of small de-
ceits and vanities.
Russell rather liked Mrs. Ray, too. Slit
was inferior to her daughter in every way.
Even in her youth she had -not possessed'
half of Alice's beauty, yet at forty-five she
was by no means the embodied prophecy
which sometimes frightens suitors away.
Mentally she was almost a blank, as Brown
had said, but with good instincts and breed-
ing she bad never felt the want. A. safe
mother for a girl, after all; for it is impos-
sible to inherit evil tendencies from a person
of no tendencies whatever. -
It was easy for Russell to win her appro-
bation. He made no special effort to do so.
but he was innately respectful and of a most
courteous demeanor. Gilbert Ray had told
his wife that "Ruacell was a. "hustler who
would be heard from," and she had talon
this to mean an active young man who might
be supposed to prefer theatres and wine sup-
pers of a riotous and forbidden character
rather than peace and quietness.
She therefore felt complimented by his
evident delight in the home -like evenings he
spent there, with no more hilarious entertai
ment than a somewhat vacuous convey ;satien
and a little music. If he had been in love
with Alice that would have been another
matter, but the maternal eye detected no
sign,
The life of the family was simplicity itself.
They spent almost all their evenings at home,
and -enjoyed each other's company in the
good old fats
:on. Alice sang and played
well, and troth er parents were good ]iste -
ere, though M s. Ray had a 'slight 'tendeny
to somnolency: They stayed in the ei y
very late that seaeon, to- Russell's great satis-
faction.
He made other acquaintances through te

tion discovered at its second meeting that

settled by a general misunderstanding, th t
the third session should be the last till fa
The girls all pledged themselves to read du
ing the summer a lot of books ',the names e}f
which they couldn't afterwards remember)
and thus gain a store of wisdom to share
when they reassembled. ,
Russell read the minutes of the prey -
ous meeting, which he had made ott
with offensive accuracy. The girls all
protested that they never said any thing
of the sort or voted that way at all. The
report was -then amended in sup h a thorough.
but unintellige.,le manner that the Recor -
ing Angel could never have recognized it s
an account of anything which had transpi -
ed on earth during his term of super v isio .
This second meeting was not at t e
"Rays,'" but at a house near by. A11 t e
girls lived within a stone's throw of p e
another. Through this association Ru -
sell received invitations to one or talo
minor social gatherings in the very laLt
days of town life. Near the end of Jure
the Rays went to their summer home o
the Hudson. It was not beyond easy arca
from New York, and Russell ' was e.
pected to come frequently during the SUIT
mer. The cordiality would have amazed hir
if the extraordinary kindness which la.l
hitherto been shown by the Rays had not
prepared him for almost anything;. Re ac -
eepted most of Ray's invitations, which ge -
erally included a Saturday afternoon an
Sunday afternoon at the villa and a sail 'u
and down in the millionaire's handsome steal
yacht. At the villa Russell learned to, pia
tennis and to wear picturesque summer clot
ing. - He was a young man designed by n -
ture to- complete a landscape with a strip 1
`blazer.
Out-of-door costumes were very
coming to Alice, also, and her beaut -
was too radiant. with health to fear th
sun. The sight of it Aught have bee

except that he • had - no peace of rain
during those days. The worry of pr.

were ever increasing; his anxiety re

nlmseii to rati in love with Alice without

thought only that she oughtn't to be allowed
to know him, and he wondered that her
father should permit it. •
"Old Ray must know the condition I'm in,"
thought Russell. "I wonder that he doesn't
politely hint that I'd better stay away from
his house. Suppose some crash should come
and two or three of my creditorsahould Com-
bine to put mo in . jail. It would not he
pleasant for Miss Ray."
He was surprised that Ray should renew
his invitation to the villa. Russell felt like
an impostor when he accepted them; and at
last he began to refuse; but as a rule the old
millionaire would take'theyeirng man by the
arm and walk him down to the yacht as if he
were under arrest. Russell realized that he
had won a place iii the old fellow's affections,
and this trade him feel. meaner than ever
about the whole affair. It was possible that
Ray did not know all -about him,- Russell re-
flected. He might be blinded by prejudice in
his favor; he might accept him because of
Brown's assurances. Brown has been on the
most intimate terms with the family in the
days when the son whom Ray had lost had
been a youth at college, Alice only a little girl.
At any rate he resolved to go to Ray, make a
clean breast of the whole matter and give
the old man a fair chance to kick him out of
the house. ;This would mean financial ruin,
but Russell didn't care for: that. HE, was in
a fit of despondency—a mental condition
eminently favorable to virtue, for hope is
the tempter after all.
The occasion came on a day in the last of
September when Ray proposed another Sun-
day at the villa. -
"Mr. Ray," said • Russell, I "your kindness
blinds you to reasons why I should not bo a
guest at your house."
The old man started and looked searching-
iy into Russell's face.
"Perhaps it does," said he, "and perhaps
it doesn't. I may ree the reasons better
than! you think I do.'
"Then why do you asM me to come '?
I should not be offcinded If you did not,
or even if you forb de me to enter your
door. If I could stip tretai the benefit of

kindly given me here in your office, it

where confidential disc ssiou was not possi-

Whatever may have eon the suli jcc t Ray
selected for his remarks on the was, to the
yacht, they fell far "shot t of his companion's
attention. Russell's thot ghts worked hurried-
ly upon the problem pre.• uted by the strange
result of his attempt to obtain an edict of
' banishment against rn?elf. That such
an exile was now in re than ever nec-
essary was eident enoug , but it was - also
clear that it must be vol rotary. He -should
keep out of the way of f ntptation; and Here
he was being led tamely to the Villa again.
Somehow, he wasemor° than usually glad
to go, although his conscience exerted a
feeble restraining force. ' Why was it? Ray's
favorable view of him as possible son-iu-law
meant nothing to him, e had no shadow
of an idea that he should ever take advan-
tage of it. But that "word of encourage-
ment," as Ray had called it, was a natter of
a very, different nature. ' Could Ray possibly
have given such a hint on any weaker grounds
than absolute certainty? ether and daughter
were on terms of the e10 est confidence. Rus.
sell had often observed it with a feeling that
the millionaire had been 11essed in other good
things than dollars. Ray should know the
state of his daugheer's heart as soon as she
did herself, and if he said that she thought
kindly of a man it should be -infinitely en-
couraging.

considerations kept Russell in a con-
dition: unfavorable to love. Alice had ; i
conquered hire only so far that he
felt that he was not good enough to be in her
society. The recognition of this fact by any
young man is a symptom, but it may never
lead to a proposal or to a reform. If Russell
had considered the subject at all, he would
