A Novel Q'fw.Which He
Is Not the Hero.
By
F. HOPIKINSON SMITH
TORONTO
McLEOD & ALLEN
(Continued from 1ast week,)
And the confidence is not mis_
placed. Only once did the boy's
glance waver, and that was when his
eyes sought the window facing
Peter's desk. Some egg other than
Peter's was nesting on the open led-
ger spread out on the Receiving Tel-
ler's desk -not an ostrich egg of a
head at all, but an evenly parted,
well -combed, well -slicked brown wig,
covering the careful pate of one of
the other clerks who, in the good-
ness of his heart, was filling Peter's
place for the day.
Everybody being busy—too busy to
answer questions outside of pay-
ments and deposits—Patrick, the por-
ter, must necessarily -conduct the
negotiations.
"No, sur; he's not down to -day—"
was the ever watchful Patrick's an_
swer to Jack's anxious inquiry. "His
sister's come from the country and
he takes a day off now and thin when
she's here. You'll find him up at
his place in Fifteenth Street, I'm
thinking."
Jack bit his lip. Here was another
complication. Not to find Peter at
the Bank meant a visit to his rooms
-on his holiday, too -and when he
doubtless wished to be alone with
Miss Felicia. And yet how could hp
wait a moment longer? He himself
had sent word to the office of Breen
& Co. that he would not be there
that day -a thing he had never Clone
before nor did he intend to go on
the morrow -not until he knew where
he stood. While his uncle had gross-
ly misunderstood him, and, for that
matter, grossly insulted him, he had
neither admitted nor denied the out-
rage on Gilbert.
When he did—this question had
only now begun to loom up—where
would he go and what would he do?
There was but little money due him
at the office—and one would come—
until the next month's pay—hardly
enough, in any event, to take him
back to his Maryland home, even if
that refuge were still open to hien.
What then would become of him'!
Peter was, in fact, his main and only
reliance. Peter he must see, and at
once.
Not that he wavered or grew faint
at heart when he thought of his de-
feat the night before. He was only
thinking of his exit and the way to
make it. "Always take your leave
like a gentleman," was one of his
father's maxims. This he would try
his best to accomplish.
Mrs. McGuffey, in white cap and
snow-white apron, now that Miss
Felicia had arrived, was the medium
of communication this time:
"Indeed, they are both in—this
way, sir, and let me have your hat
and coat."
It was a delightful party that
greeted the boy. Peter was stand-
ing on the hearth -rug with his back
to the fire, his coat tails hooked over
his wrists. Miss Felicia sat by a
small table pretending to sew. Holk-
er Morris was swallowed up in one
of Peter's big easy -chairs, only the
top of his distinguished head visible,
while a little chub of a man, gray
haired, spectacled and plainly dress_
ed, was seated behind him, the two
talking in an undertone.
"Why, Breen!—why, my dear boy!
And you have a holiday, too? How
did you know I was home?" cried
Peter, extending both hands in the
joy of his greeting.
"I stopped at the Bank, sir."
"Did you?—and who told you?"
"The janitor, I suppose."
"Oh, the good Patrick! Well, well!
Holker, you remember young Breen."
Holker did remember, for a won-
der, and extended one hand to prove
it, and Felicia—hut the boy was al-
ready bending over her, all his re-
spect and admiration in his eyes.
The little chub of a man was now
on his feet, standing in an attentive
attitude, ready to take his cue from
Peter. `
"And now, my boy, turn this way,
and let me introduce you to my very
dear friend, Mr. Isaac Cohen.".
A pudgy hand was thrust out and
the spectacled little man, his eyes on
the boy, said he was glad to know
any friend of Mr. Grayson, and re-
suming his seat continued his con-
versation in still lower tones with
the great architect.
Jack stood irresolute for an instant
not knowing whether to make some
excuse for his evidently inopportune
visit and return later, or to keep his
seat until the others had gone. Miss
Felicia, who had not taken her gaze
from the lad since he entered the
room, called him to her side.
"Now, tell me what you are all
doing at home, and how your dear
aunt is, and—Miss Corinne, isn't it?
And that very bright young fellow
who came with you at Ruth's tea?"
It was the last subject that Jack
wanted to discuss, but he stumbled
through it as best he could, and end-
ed in hoping, in a halting tone, that
Miss MacFarlane was well.
'Ruth! Oh, she is a darling!
Didn't you think so?"
Jack blushed to the roots of his
hair, but Misss Felicia's al1com re-
hensive glance never wavered. This
was the young man whom Ruth had
been mysterious about. She intend-
ed to know how far the affair had
gone, and it would have been useless
she knew, for .Jack to try to deceive
her.

he answered in all sincerity.
"And you like them better than
the New York belles?"
"I don't know any."
"Then that means that you do."
"Do what?"
"Do like them better."
rhe boy thought for a moment.
"Yes, and Miss MacFarlane best
of all; she is so --so--" the boy falt-
ered—"so sincere, and just the kind
of girl you would trust with any-
thing. Why, 1 told her all about
myself before I'd known her half an
hour."
"Yes, she was greatly pleased."
The match -making instinct was al-
ways uppermost in Miss Felicia's
moves, and then, again, this young
man had possibilities, his uncle being
roch and he being his only nephew.
"Oh, then she told you!" The boy's
heart gave a great leap. Perhaps,
after all, Ruth had not heard -at all
events she did not despise him.
"No, I told her myself. The only
thing that seemed to worry Ruth was
that you had not told her enough.
If I remember right, she said you
were very shy."
"And she did not say anything
about—" Jack stopped. He had not
intended to put the question quite in
this way, although he was still in
doubt. Give this keen -eyed, white_
haired old lady but an inkling of
what was uppermost in his mind and
he knew she would have its every de-
tail.
"About what?" Here Miss Feli_
cis'a eyes were suddenly diverted, and
became fastened on the short figure
of Mr. Isaac Cohen, who had risen
to his feet and stood talking in the
most confidential way with Morris—
Peter listening intently. Such phras-
es as "Better mako the columns of
marble," from Morris, and "Well, I
will talk it over with the Rabbi,"
from the tailor, reached his ears.
Further relief came when Miss Fel-
icia arose from her chair with her
hand extended to Morris, who was
already taking leave of Peter, and
all danger was passed when host and
hostess conducted the tailor and the
architect to the door; Morris bend-
ing over Miss Felicia's hand and kiss-
ing it with the air of a courtier sud-
denly aroused by the appearance o:
royalty (he had been completely im-
mersed in Cohen's talk), and the tail-
or bowing to her on his way out
without even so much as touching
the tips of her fingers.
"There, my dear Breen," said
Peter, when he had adjusted his cra-
vat before the glass and brushed a
few stray hairs over his temples,
",flat's a man it would do you an
immense amount of good to know;
the kind of a man you call worth
while. Not only does he speak three
languages, Hebrew being one of
them, but he can talk on any sub_
jest from Greek temples to the rais-
ing of violets. Morris thinks the
world of him— So du I."
"Yes, J heard him say something
about columns."
"Oh!—then you overheard! Yes,
they are for the new synagogue that
Morris is building. Cohen is chair-
man of the committee."
"And he is the banker, too, I sup-
pose?' rejoined Jack, in a tone which
showed his lack of interest in both
man and subject. It was Peter ear
he wanted, and at once.
The old man's eyes twinkled:
"Hanker!—not a bit of it, He's a
tailor, my dear boy—a most delight-
ftd gentleman tailor, who works in
the basement below us and who only
yesterday prassed the coat I have
on." • Here Peter surveyed himsel;
with a comprehensive glance. "All
the respectable people in New York
are not money mad." Then, seeing
Jack's look of astonishment over the
announcement, he laid his hand on
the boy's shoulder and said with a
twinkle of his eye and a little laugh:
"Only one tailor—not mine—my boy,
was required to make Mr. Cohen a
man. And now about yourself. Why
are you not at work? Old fellows
like me once in a while have a holi-
day—but young fellows! Comel—
What is it brings you here during
business hours? Anything I can
help you in?—anything at home?'
and Peter's eyes bored holes in the
boy's brain.
Jack glanced at Miss Felicia, who
was arranging the roses Morris had
brought her, and then said in a half
whisper:
'I have had a row with my uncle,
sir. Maybe I had better come some
other day, when—"
"No—out with it! Row with your
uncle, eh? Rows with one's uncles
are too commonplace to get myster-
ious over, and, then, we have no sec-
rets. Ten chances to one I shall tell
Felicia every word you say after
you've gone, so she might as well
hear it at first hand. Felicia, this
young fellow is so thin-skinned he is
afraid you will laugh at him."
"Oh, he knows better. I have just
been telling him how charming he
must be to have won Miss MacFar_
lane's good opinion," rejoined his
sister as she moved her work -basket

And Omni wi Mpind at treat now
that he was Rig Muth had not heard
and With ayes again blazing as ids
thoughts dwelt upon the outrage, he
poured out hie etot''y, Miss Feliele 1ia-
toning intently, a'curioue expression
on her face Petar grave and silent,
his gate now mit* boy, now on .the
hearth -rug on ,which he,stood. Only
once did a flashIllumine his coun-
tenance; that was when Jack reached
that part of his narrative which told
of the denunciation he had flung in
his uncle's face concerning the meth-
ods by which poor Gilbert had been
ruined.
And you dared tell your uncle
that, you young firebrand?" •
"Yes, Mr. Grayson, I had to; what
else could I say? Don't you think it
cruel to cheat like that?"
"And what did he say?" asked
Peter.
He would not listen -he swore at
me -told me -well, he ordered me out
of the room and had the lights put
out."
"And it served you right, you young
dog! Well, upon my word! Here
you are without a dollar in the world
except what your uncle pays you,
and you fly off at a tangent and in-
sult him in his own house—and you
his guest, remember. Well! Well!
What are we coming to? Felicia,
did you ever hear of such a per-
formance ?"
Miss Felicia made no answer. She
knew from her brother's tone that
there was not a drop of bitterness in
any one of the words that fell from
his lips; she had heard him talk that
way dozens of times before, when he
was casting about for some means of
letting the culprit down the easier.
She even detected a slight wrinkling
of the corners of his mouth as the
denunciation rolled out. i
Not so Jack: To him the end of
the world had come. Peter was his
last resort -that one so good and so
clear-headed had not flared up at
once over the villainy was the sever_ '
est blow of all. Perhaps he was a
firebrand; perhaps, after all, it was
none of his business; perhaps -per-
haps -now that Ruth wuuld not blame
him, knew nothing, in fact, of the
disgraceful episode, it would• have'
been better for him to have ignored
the whole matter and taken Garry's
advice.
"Then I have done wrong again,
Mr. Grayson?" he said at last, in so
pleading a tone that even Miss Feli-
cia's reserve was on the point of giv-
ing away.
Yes, in the manner in which you
acted. Your father wouldn't have
lost his temper and called people
names. Gentlemen, Cly dear boy,
don't do that sort of thing. They
make up their minds about what they
want to do and then du it quietly,
arid, let me say, with a certain amount
of courtesy."
"Then, what must I do?" All the
fight was out of the lad now.
"Why, go back to your desk in the
office and your very delightful suite
of rooms at your uncle's. Tell him
you are sorry you let your feelings
get the best of you; then, when you
have entirely quieteddown, you and .
1 will put our heads together and see
what can be done to improve mat- I
ters. And that, lot ,ase tell you, my
dear boy, is going to be rather a dif-i
ficult thing, for you see you are
rather particular a., to what you
should and should not do to earn
your living." Peter's wrinkles had
now crept up his cheeks and were
twinkles in his eyes. "Of course any
playing hide and seek with the I
kind of healthy work—such for in-
stance, as hauling a chain through a I
swamp, carrying a level, prospecting
for oil, or copper, or gold—all very
respectable occupations for some men
—are quite impossible in your case.'
But we will think it out and find
something easier — something that i
won't soil your hands, and—"
"Please don't, Mr. Grayson," in- i
terrupted Jack, The boy had begun i
to see through the raillery now. "I I
will do anything you want me to do."
Peter burst into a laugh and grab- I
bed him by both shoulders: "Of i
course, my dear boy, you will do any_ '
thing except what you believe to be
wrong. That's right—right as can
be:, nobody wants you to do any
different, and "
The opening of a door leading into'
the hall caused Peter to stop in his
harangue and turn his head. Mrs. 1
McGuffey was ushering in a young
woman whose radiant face was like
a burst of sunshine. Peter strained !
his eyes and then sprang forward: I
"Why, Ruth!" I
There was no doubt about it! That '
young woman, her cheeks like two
June ,peonies, her eyes dancing, the
daintiest and prettiest pelt in the '
world on her head, was already half '
across the room and close to Peter's
rug before Jack could even realize l
that he and she were breathing the,
same air. i
"Oh! I just could not wait a min-
ute longer!" she cried in a joyous '
tone. "I had such a good time yes-,
terday, dear aunt Felicia, and— Why!
-it is you, Mr. Breen, and have you ,
come to tell aunty the same thing?
Wasn't it lovely?"
Then Jack said that it was lovely,
and that he hadn't come for any such
purpose -then that he had -and then
Peter patted her hand and told her ;
she was the prettiest. thing he had
ever seen in all his life, and that he
was going to throw overboard all his
other sweethearts at once and cleave
to her alone; and Miss Felicia vowed
that she was the life of the party; ,
and Jack devoured her with his eyes,,
his heart thumping away at high ,
pressure; and so the moments fled
until the blithesome young girl, say- ,
ing she had not a minute to spare,
as she had to meet her father, who
would not wait, readjusted her wraps,
kissed Miss Felicia on both cheeks,
sent another flying through the air
toward Peter from the tips of her
fingers, and with Jack as escort -he
also had to see afriend who would
not wait a minute -danced out of
the room and so on down to the street.

Long after his sister had left the
,room Peter kept his seat by the the,
hie eyes gazing into the aigmbering
coals. His holiday had been a happy
one until Jack's entrance: Morris bad
conte to an early breakfast and had -
then run down and dragged up Cohen
so that he could talk with hilts in
comfort and away from thesmell of
the tailor's goose and the noise of
the opening and shutting of the shop
door; Miss Felicia had ,summoned all.
her good humor and ,patience ishe
did net always approve of Peter's
acgnaintances-the little tailor being
one), and had received Cohen as she
would have done a savant from an-
cther country -one whose personal
appearance belied his intellect but
who on no account must be made a-
ware of that fact, and Peter himself
had spent the hour before and after
breakfast -especially the hour after,
when the Bank always claimed him
-in pulling out and putting back one
book after another from the shelves
of his small library, reading a page
here and a line there, th€ lights and
shadows that crossed his eager, ab-
sorbed face, an index of his enjoy-
ment.
All this had been spoiled by a wild,
untamed colt of a boy whom he could
not help lilting in spite of his peculi-
arities.
And yet, was his sister not right?
Why bother himself any more about
a man so explosive and so tactless -
and he was a man, so far as years
and stature went, who, no matter
what he might attempt for his -ad-
vancement, would as surely topple it
over as he would a house of cards.
That the boy's ideals were high, and
his sincerity beyond question, was
true, but what use would these quali-
ties be to him if he lacked the com-
mon-sense to put them into practice?
All this he told to the fire -first
to one little heap of coals -then an-
other -snuggling together -and then
to the big back -log scarred all over
in its fight to keep everybody warm
and happy.
Suddenly his round, glistening head.
ceased bobbing back and forth; his
lips, which had talked incessantly
without a sound falling from them,
straightened; his gesticulating fin-
gers tightened into a hard knot and
the old fellow rose from his easy -
chair. He had made up his mind.
Then began a search through his
desk in and out of the pigeon holes,
under a heap of letters—most of them
unanswered; beneath a package tied
with tape, until his eyes fell upon
an envelope sealed with wax in which
was embedded the crest of the an-
cestors of the young gentleman whose
future had so absorbed his thoughts.
It was Mrs. Breen's acceptance of
Miss Felicia's invitation to Miss Mac-
Farlane's tea.
"Ah, here it is! Now I'll find the
number -yes, 864—I thought it was
a "4" -hut I didn't' want to make
any mistake."
he had last !oohed into her eyes, had
' escaped her ears, and Ruth because
of all the young men she had met in
her brief sojourn in New York this
young Mr. Breen treated her with
most consideration.
While the 'two were making their
way through the crowded streets Jack
helping her over the crossings, pick-
ingt out the drier spots for her dainty
feet to step upon, shielding her from
the polluting touch of the passing
throng, Miss Felicia had resumed her
sewing -it was a bit of lace that
needed a stitch here and there -and
Peter, dragging a chair before the
fire, had thrown himself into its
depths, his long, thin white fingers
open fan-like to its blaze.
"You are just wasting your time,
Peter, over that young man," Miss
Felicia said at last, snipping the end
of a thread with her scissors. "Bet-
ter buy him a guitar with a broad
blue ribbon and start him off trou-
badouring, oi', better still, put him in-
to a suit of tin armor and give him a
lance. He doesn't belong to this
world. It's just as well Ruth did not
hear that rigmarole. Cbarming man-
ners, I admit -lovely, sitting on a
cushion looking up into some young
girl's eyes, but he will never make
his way here with those notions. Why
he should want to anger his uncle,
who is certainly most kind to him, is
past finding out. He's stupid, that's
what he is -just stupid!" -to break
with your bread and butter and to
defy those who could be of service to
you being an unpardonable sin with
Miss Felicia. No, he would not do
at all for Ruth.
Peter settled himself deeper in his
chair and studied the cheery blaze
between his outspread fingers.
"That's the very thing will save
him, Felicia."
"What -his manners?"
"No -his adorable stupidity. I grant
you he's fighting windmills, but, then
my dear, don't forget that he's fight-
ing -that's something."
"But they are only windmills, and,
more extraordinary still, this one is
grinding corn to keep him from
starving," and she folded up her sew-
ing preparatory to leaving the room.
Peter's fingers closed tight. "I'ni
not so sure of that," he answered
gravely.
Miss Felicia had risen from her
seat and was now bending over the
bade of his chair, her spare sharp
elbows resting on its edge, her two
hands clasping his cheeks.
"And are you really going to add
this stupid boy to your string, you
goose of a Peter?" she asked in a
bantering tone, as her fingers car-
essed his temples. "Don't forget
Mosenthal and little Perkins, and the
waiter you brought home and fed
fir a week, and sent away in your
Lest overcoat, which he pawned the
next day; or the two boys at college.
Aren't you ever going to learn?" and
she leaned forward and kissed the top
of his bald head.
Peter's only reply was to reach up
and smooth her jewelled fingers with
his own. Ile remembered them all;
there was an excuse, of course, he re-
minded her, for his action in each
and every case. But for him Mosen-
thal—really a great violinist—would
have starved, little Perkins would
have been sent to the reformatory,
and the waiter to the dogs. That

boys, had ever thanked him for his
