with a sense. of 'having been *lightly
startled.
He meat* to et rid 6f him, sad
the fellow its him trouble," be
paid to voice is not
American. Not in the least." It set
him thinking and obeerving. When
Tembarom wore the look 'which was
- not a look of depression but of
something more 'puzzling, fie thought
that he could guess at its reason.
By the time he talked with Lady Mai-
lowe he had gone much further than
be chose to lot her !know.
CHAPTER XXVIII
The popularity of Captain Palliser's
story of the "Ladies" had been great
at the outset, but with the passage
of time it had oddly waned. This
bad resulted from the story's ceasing
to develop itself, as the simplest in-
telligence might have anticipated, by
means of the only person capable of
its proper development. The person
in question was of course T. Tembar-
om. Expectations, amusing expecte-
, tions, of him had been raised, and he
had singularly failed in the fulfilling
of them. The neighborhood had, so
to speak, stood upon tiptoe, -the fem-
inine portion of it, at least, -looking
over shoulders to get the first glimp-
ses of What would inevitably take
place.
As weeks flew by, the .standing on
tiptoe became a thing of the past.
The whole thing flattened out moat
-disappointingly. No attack whatever
wale made upon the "Ladies." That
the Duke of Stone had immensely
taken up Mr. Temple Barholm had of
course resulted in his being accepted
in such a manner as gave him many
cpportunities to encounter one and
all. He appeared at dinners, teas,
and ga len parties. Miss Alicia,
whom h' had in some occult manner
impress! 1 upon people until they
found themselves actually paying a
sort of c urt to her, was always his
companion.
"One realizes one. cannot possibly
leave her
of a
nytNin 'lead been
g,"
said. "He has somehow established
her as if s' ' were his mother or his
aunt -or ha interpreter. And such
clothes, my dear, one doesn't behold.
Worth and Paquin and Doucet must
-go sleepless for weeks to invent theirs,
They are without a flaw in shade or
line or texture." Which was true,
because 'Mas. Mellish of the Bond
Street shop had become quite obses-
sed by her idea and committed ex-
travagances Miss Alicia offered up
contrite prayer to atone for, while
Tembarom, simply chortling in his
glee, signed checks to pay for their
exquisite embodiment. That he was
not reluctant to avail •himael'f of
social opportunities was -made mani-
fest by the fact that he never re-
fused an i'nvi'tation. He appeared up-
on any Spot to wh'ioh hospitality bade
'him, and unashamedly placed himself
011 record as a neophyte upon almost
all occasions. His well cut clothes
began in time to wear more the air
of garments belonging to him, but
his hat made itself remarked by its
trick of getting pushed black on his
head or tilted on side, and his New
York voice and accent rang out sharp
and finely nasal in the midst of low-
pitched, throaty, or mellow English
enuneiatiocs. He talked a good Ideal
at times because he found himself
talked to by people who either want-
ed to draw 'him out or genuinely
wished to hear the things he would
be likely to say.
That the hero of Palliser's story
should so comport 'himself as to pro-
vide either- diversion or cause for
haughty displeasure would have been
only a natural olrtcome of his ambi-

he somehow wore no air of saying
them with the intention of offering
them as witticisms which ht be
regarded se allurements. He not
ogle, be did not simper or shuffle er
bout nervously and turn red or pale,
as ' eager and awkward youths have
e habit of doing under the stress of
unrequited admiration. In the pres-
ence of a certain slighthigness of
(treatment, which' he at the .outset met
with not infrequently, he' conducted
bimaelf with a detached good nature
which seemed to take_ but small ac-
count of attitudes leas unoffending
than his own.. When the slighting-
neas disappeared from sheer lack of
anything to slight, he did not change
his manner in any degree.
"He is not in the 'least forward,"
Beatrice Talcheeter said, the time
arriving when she and ler sisters
occasionally talked him over with
their special friends, the Granthams,
"and he is not forever under one's feet
as the pushing sort usually is. Do
you remember those rioh people from
the place they called Troy -the ones
who took Burnaby for a year -and
the awful eldest son who perpetually
invented excuses for'calling, bringing
books and ridiculous things?"
"This. one never makes an excuse,"
Antlabel Grarut;ham put in.
"But he 'never declines an invita-
tion. There is no doubt that he wants
to see people," said Lady Honore, with
the pretty little nose and the dimp-
les. She had ceased' to turn up the
pretty little nose, and she showed a
dimple as she added: "Gwynedd is
tremendously taken with him. She
is teaching him to play croquet. They
spendhours together."
"He's beginning to play a pretty
good game," said Gwynedd. "He's
not stupid, at all events."
"I believe you are the first ohoice,
if he is really choosing," Areabet
Grantham decided. "I should like to
ask you a question."
"Ask it, by all means," staid
Gwynedd.
"Does he ever ask you to show him
how to hold his mallet, and then do
idiotic thin!_ns, such as managing to
touch your hand?"
"Never," was Gwynedd's answer.
"The young man from Troy used to
do it, and then beg pardon and turn
red."
I don't understand him, or I don't
understand
Captain C pt Palliser's story,"
Amabel Grantham am argued. Inky
and I are quite out of the running.
but I honestly .believe that he takes
as much notice of us as he does of
any of you. If he has intentions, he
'dosen't act the part,' which is pure
New York' of the first water."
"He said, holwever, that the things
that mattered were not only titles,
but looks. He asked how many of us
were 'lookers.' Don`t be modest, Am-
abel. Neither you nor Lucy are out
of the running," Beatrice amiably
suggested.
"Ladies first," commented Amabel
pertly. There was no objection to
being supported in one's suspicion
that, after all, one was a "looker."
"There may be a sort of explana-
tion," Honore put the idea forward
eom'ewhat thoughtfully, "Captain
Palliser insists that he is much shrew-
der than he seems. .Perhaps he is
cautious, and is looking us all over
before he commits himself."
"He is a Temple Barholm, after all,"
said Gwynedd, with boldness. "He's
rather good looking.. He has the
nicest white teeth anal the most cheer-
ing grin I ever saw, and he's as 'rich
as grease is,' as I heard a housemaid
say one day. I'm getting quite re-
signed to his voice, or it is improving,
1 don't know which. rf he only knew
the mere A B C of ordinary people
like ourselves, and he committed him-
self to me, I wouldn't lay my hand' on
my heart and say that one might not
think him over."
"I told you she was tremendously
taken with hint," said her sister. "It's
come to this•"
"But," said Lady Gwynedd, "he is
not going to commit himself to any
"What dear papa talks to him
about, and what he talks about to
dear papa," Lady Celia had more than
once murmured in her gentle remote,
high -nosed way, "I cannot possibly
imagine. Sometimes ,when I have
passed them on my way to the cro-
quet lawn I have really seen them
both look as absorbed as people in
a play. Of course it is very good
for papa. It has had quite a marked
effect on his digestion. But isn't it
odd!"
"1 wish." Lady Edith remarked al-
most wistfully, "that I could get on
better with him myself conversation-
ally. But I don't know what to talk
about, and it .makes me nervous."
Their father, on the contrary, found
in him unique resources, and thio
afternoon it occurred to him that he
,had never so far heard him express
himself freely on the subject of Pal-
liser. If led to do so, he would prob-
ably reveal that he had views of Oap-
tain Palliser of which he might not
have been suspected, and the manner
in which they 'would unfold themselves
would more than probably be illum-
inating. The duke was, in fact, se-
renely sure that he required neither
'warning nor advice, and he had no in-
tention of offering either. He wanted
to hear the views.
"Do you know;" he said as he stir-
red his tea, "I've been thinking about
Palliser, and it has occurred to me
more than once that I should like to
hear just how he strikes you?"
"What I got onto first wa's how I
struck him," answkred Tembarom,
with a reasonable air. '"That was

Shapes and .izaf."-
"If yon met a men.vf his particular
shape and sine in ,New York, how
would you describe' the duke
asked." .
I should never bans'. met him when
I was there. He wein�lt! n't have come
my way. He'd have been on Wall
Street, doing 'hi -+dash bucket -shop
business, or he' ijave had a swell
office gelling copper -'nines -any odd
kind of mine that's geartt to .make ten
millions a minute, the sort of deal
he's in now. If he'd b4tin the kind I
might have run up against," he added
with deliberatin, '"he wouldn't have
been es well dressed or as well spok-
en. He'd have been either flashy or
down at heel. You'd -have called him
a crook."
The duke seemed pleased with his
tea, as, after having sipped it, he put
it down on the tale at his side.
"A crook?" he repeated." I wond-
er if that word is a1tc,gether Ameri-
can?"
I't's not complimentary, but you
asked me," said Tembarom. "But I
don't belie,e you asked me because
you thought I wasn't (01 to him."
"Frankly speaking, no," answered
the duke. "Does he talk to you about
the mammoth mines and the rubber
forests?"
"Say, that's where he wins out with
rue," Tembarom repii„i admiringly.
"He gets in such fine work that , I
switch him on to it whenever I want
cheering up. It makes me sorter for-
get things that worry me just to see
a man act the part right up to the
top notch the way he does it. The
very way his clothes fit, the style he's
got his hair brushed, and that swell,
careless lounge of his, are half of the
make-up. You see, most of us
couldn't mistake him for anything
else but just what he looks like -a
gentleman visiting round among his
,frionds and a million miles from
wanting to butt in with business. The
thing that first got me interested was
watching how he slid in the sort of
guff he wanted you to get worked up
about and think over. Why, if I'd
been what I look like to him, he'd
have had my pile long ago, and he
wouldn't be loafitig round here any
more."
"What do you think you look like
to him?" his host inquired.
"I look as if I'd at out of his
hand," Tembarom answered, quite
unbiased by any touch of wounded
vanity. "Why shouldn't I? And
I'm not trying to wake him up, either.
I like to look that way to him and
to his sort. It gives me a chance to
watch and get wise to things. He's
a high-school education in himself. I
like to hear him talk. I asked him
to come and stay at the house so
that'I could hear him talk."
'"Did he introduce the mammoth
mines in his first call?" the duke in-
quired.
-"Oh, I don't mean that kind of
talk. I didn't know how much good
I was going to get out of him at
first. But he was the kind I hadn't
known, and it seemed like he was
part of the whole thing -like the
girls with title that Ann said I .must
get next to. And an easy way of
getting next to the man kind was to
let him come and stay. He wanted
to, all right. I guess that's the way
he lives when he's down on his luck,
getting invited to stay at places. Like
Lady Ma'ilowe," he added, quite with. -
cut prejudice.
"You do sum them up, don't you?"
smiled the duke.
""Well, I don't sec how I could help
it," he said impartially. "They're
printed in sixty-four point black -face
seems to me."
"What' is that?" the duke inquired
with interest. He thought it might
be a new and desirable bit of slang.
"I don't know that one."'
"Biggest type there is," grinned
Tembarom. ""It's the kind that's us-
ed for head -lines. That's newspaper
office talk."
""Ah, technical, I see. What, by the
way, is the smallest lettering called?"
his grace followed up.
""Brilliant,', answered Tembarom.
""You," remarked the duke," are not
printed in sixty-four point black -face
so far as they are concerned. You
are not even brilliant. They don't
find themselves abh' to sum you up.
That fact is one of my recreations."
"Pll tell you why," Tembarom ex-
plained with his clearly r e rly unprejudiced
air. "There's nothing much about
me to sum up, anyhow. I'm too sort
of 'p'lain sailing and ordinary. ' I'm
not making for anywhere they'd
think I'd want to go. I'm not hiding
anything they'd he sure I'd want to
hide."
"By the Lord! you're not!" exclaim-
ed the duke.
"When I first came here, every one
of them had a fool idea I'd want to
pretend I'd never set eyes on a news-
boy or a bootblack, and, that I
couldn't find my way in New York
when I got off Fifth Avenue. I used
to see them thinking they'd got to
look as if they believed it, if they
wanted to keep next. When I just
let out and shower! I didn't care a
darn and hadn't sense enough to know
that it mattered, it nearly made them
throw a tit. 'They had to turn round
and fix their faces all over again and
act like it was 'interesting.' That'e
what Lady-M'allowe calla' it She Bays

"It is" commended the duke.
"Well, you know that, but she
doesn't. Not on your life! I guess

do you like it?"
"Lady Gwynedd ltakhedter is

"I'd learn to iron shirt -waists if Abe
would give me lessons. She's one of
the two that have dimples," he add-
ed, reflection in hie tone. "I guess
that'•H count. Shouldn't you think it
would?"
"Mise Hutchinson?" queried Eke
duke.
Teanbarom nodded.
"Yes, it's always her," he answered
without a ray of humor. "I just
want to stack 'em up."
"You are doing it," the duke re-
plied with a slightly twisted mouth.
'There were, in fact, moments when
,he might have 'Fallen into fits of
laughter While Tembarom was seri-
ousness itself. "1 must, however,
cal! your attention to the fact that
there is sometimes in your manner a
hint of a businesslike pursuit of a
fixed object which you must beware
of. The Lady Gwynedds might not
enjoy the situation if they began to
suspect. If they decided to flout you
-"to throw you down,' I ought to
say -where would little Miss Hutch-
inson be?"
Tembarom looked startled and dis-
turbed.
"Say," he exclaimed, "do I ever look
that way. I must do better than
that. Anyhow, it ain't all put on.
I'm doing my stunt, of course, but I
like them. They're nighty nice to

up against. And those two with the
dimples, -,Lady Gwynned and Lady
Ilonora, are just peaches. Any fel-
low neiiht"--lhe stopped and looked
serious again -•"That's why they'd
count," he added.
They were having one of their odd
long talks under a particularly splen-
did copper beech which provided the
sheltered out-of-door corner his grace
liked best. When they took their
seats together in this retreat, it was
mysteriously understood that they
were settling themselves down to en-
joyment of their own, and must not
be disturbed.
"When I am comfortable and en-
tertained," Moffat, the house stew-
ard, had quoted his roaster as saying,
"you may mention it if the castle is
in flames; but do not annoy me with
excitement and flurry. Ring the bell
in 'the courtyard, and call up the ser-
vants to

"I dare say the fellow's in a devil
of a meas, if the truth were known,"
the duke said.
"And here's T. T.,' hand made and
hand painted for the part of the kind
of sucker he wants." T. Terabarom's
manner was almost sympathetic in
its appreciation. "I can tell you I'm
having a real good time with Pal-
liser. It looked like I'd just dropped
from heaven when he first naw me.
If he'd been the praying kind, I'd
have been just the sort he'd have
prayed for when he said his 'Now I-
lay-me'e' before he went to bed.
There wasn't a chance hi a hundred
that I wasn't a fool that had his head
'swelled so that he'd swallow any
darned thing if you handed it to him
smooth enough. First time he called
he asked me a lot of questions about
New York business. That was pretty
smart of him. He wanted to find out
sort of careless, how much I knew -
or how little."
The duke was loaning back luxuri-
ously in his chair and gazing at him
as he might have gazed at the work
of an old master of which each line
and shade was of absorbing interest.
"I can see 'him," he said. "I can
see hint."
"He found out I knew nothing,"
Tembarom continued. "And what
was to hinder him trying to teach me
something, by gee! Nothing on top
of the green earth. I was there,
waiting with my mouth ppen, it
seemed like."
"And he has tried -in hie 'best
manner?" said his grace.
"What he hasn't tried wouldn't be
worthy trying," Tembarom answered
cheerfully. y "Sometimes it seems like
a shame to waste it. I've got so I
know how to start him when he
doesn't know II'm doing it. I tell
you, he's fine. Gentlemanly -that's
his way, you know. High-toned friend
that just happens to know of a good
thing and thinks enough of you in a
sort of reserved way to feel like it's
apity net cme in on theogive you a chance to
ground floor, if you've
got the sense to see the favor .he's
friendly enough to do you. It's such
a favor that it'd just disgust a man
if you could possibly turn it down.
But of course you're to take it oy,
leave it. It's not to his interest to
push it. Lord, net! Whatever you
did his way is that he'd not con-
descend to say a darned word. High-
toned silence, that's all."
The Duke of Stone was chuckling
very softly. His chuckles rather
broke his words when he spoke.
"By -by -Jove!" he said. "You -
you do see it, don't you? You do
see it."
Tembarom nursed his knee com-
fortably.
"Why," he, said, "it's what keeps
me up. You know a lot more about
me than any one else does, but there's
a whole raft of things I think about
that I couldn't hang round any man's
neck. If I tried to hang them round
yours, you'd know that I would be
having a hell of a time here, if I'd
let myself think too much. If I
didn't see it, as you call it, if I
didn't see so many things, I might
begin to get sorry for myself. There
was a pause of a second. "Gee!" he
said, "Gee! this not hearing a thing
about Ann!-"
"Good Lord! my dear fellow," the
duke said hastily, "I know. I know."
Tembarom turned and looked at
him.
You'vr been there," he remarked.
"You've been there, I bet."
"Yes, I've been there," answered
the duke. "I've been there -and come
hack. But while it's going on -you
have just described it. A man can
have a hell of a time."
"He can,' Tembarom admitted un-
reservedly. "He's got to keep going
to stand it. Well, Strangewaya gives
me some work to do. And I've got
Palliser. He's a little sunbeam."
A man -servant approaching
suggest a
possible need' of hot te.a
started at hearing his grace break
into a sudden and plainly involun-
tary crow of glee. He had not heard
that one before either. Palliser as a
little sunbeam 'brightening the path-
way of T. Tembarom, was, in the
particular existing circumstances, all
that could be desired of fine humor.
It somewhat recalled the situation of
the "Ladies" of the noble houses of
Pevensy, Talchester, and Stone un-,
consciously passing in review for the
satisfaction of little Miss Hutchin-
son, Tembarom laughed a little him-
self, but he went on with a sort of
serioll sn es s :
'There's one thing sure enough -
I've got on to it by listening and
working out what he would do by
what he doesn't know he says. If
he could put the screws on me in any
way, he wouldn't hold back. It'd he
all quite polite and gentlemanly, but
he'd do it all the Rama*. And be's
dead sure that everybody's got ROMP,
thing they'd like to hide -or get.
That's what he works things out
from."

He asks questions and plays he ain't

"He doesn't like you, he doesn't
like you," the duke said rather
thoughtfully. "He has a way of con-
veying that you are far more subtle
than you choose to look. He is given
to enlarging on the fact that an air
of entire frankness is one of the chief
assets of certain promoters of huge
American schemes."
Tembarom smiled the ensile of re-
cognition.
Yes," he said, "it looks like that's
a long way round, doesn't it? But
it's .not far to T. T. when you want
to hitch on tlhe connection; Anyhow
that's the way he means it to look.
If ever q was suspected of being in
any milaup, everybody would remem-
ber he'd said that."
"It's very amusin ," said the duke.
"It's very amusin'."
