CHAPTER XII.
The Royal Progress of Mr. and Mrs.
Rawn.
So they were married. Graystone
Hall at last had a mistress worthy of
its architect and decorator when?lore
and affection and other good consider

It?the new Mrs. Rawn moved into the
place of the old Mrs. Rawn. Thereafter
matters went at least as merry
as most marriage bells celebrating the
nuptials of middle age and youth, of
wealth and beauty.
As Mr. Rawn had spent a million
dollars to free himself from one wife,
he seemed willing to spend much
more in the process of taking on an
other. It became current rumor that
the one great diamond show of the
western city was Virginia Rawn. The
sobriquet, "The Lady of the Lightnings,"
passed from New York to Chicago
and became permanent there.
Not that that lady delighted in disr?lnv
hut there were occasional ODer
atic or theatrical events which demanded
compliance with her husband's
wishes, in which event she
'blazed almost better than the best.
But, gradually, she showed the
tastes of the aristocrat, as alien to vulgar
display as to crude manners.
;Gradually the tone, color, atmosphere,

The porcelains which Virginia Rawn
purchased were not large and gorgeous,
but a.connoisseur would have
called them worthy. The vast and
brilliantly framed paintings came down
one hy one, and one by one masterpieces
went up, selected by one who
knew. The walks, the grounds, took
on simpler and cleaner lines. Rawn
of the International got a new credit
as a person of taste. He was accepted
as a collector, a patron of the arts,
a flrtnnnlcsmir in fnrt vpf mnrft a wor
thy and a rising citizen.
The hospitality of Mr. Rawn's mansion
house also now increased perjccptibly,
and, delighted that at last
numbers came to se ? him, Mr. Rawn
at first did not analyze those numbers
very cioseiy. jtuven ine iasnaious,
many of whom came to be amused,
;were unanimous in the feeling that
,Mr. Rawn's house, its furnishings, its
decorations, its pictures, its works of
art, its hospitality also, were beyond
reproach. The trace of gaucheriewaa
' gone. The spirit of the place was del-'
iicately reserved, dignified, yet well as- <
. sured. The seal of approval vrae j

deed, should smile at the man who
.had made so meteoric a rise, who had
by a few years of labor become master
of this mansion, its furnishings
:and its mistress? Who, upon the other
hand, might smile at that mistress,
: whose appearance upon the front page
;of tbe leading journals of the city became
now a matter of course?a lady
of such reserved tastes as led her to
forsake the larger marts, and to set
the seal of fashionable approval upon
a little florist, a little modiste, a little
milliner all her own?even a little surgeon
hitherto unknown, who honored
a little hospital and made it fashion-!
able, bv taking: there this distinguished !
patient for a little operation?
Rawn himself expanded in all this
social success. He saw doors hitherto ;

THOUGH
with her youth, her beauty, hir
aplomb, her fitness for this life which
he had chosen. For once he almost
forgot to regard himself as a collector
of beautiful objects, although the
truth was that his wife, Virginia, became
more beautiful each day, more
superb of line, more calmly easy in
air, more nearly faultless of garb and
(iompsnnr Shia tnnk her nlace easily
and surely among the young matrons
of the wealthier circles of the western
city. Whereas thousands of auto-cars
had passed by Graystone Hall and
only a dozen stopped, scores now, of
the largest, drove up its winding walks
and halted at its doors. The dearest
dream of both seemed realized. The
hunt in couple had won! They had
gained what they desired; that is to
say, self-indulgence, ease, idleness, ad
ulation, freedom from care. What
more is there to seek? And is not
this America?
Gradually John Rawn had been losing
the rusticity which had accompanied
him well up to middle age. The
city now began to leave its imprint.
The waistcoat of Mr. Rawn gradually
attained a curve unknown to it m ear- \
lier years, so that his watch fob now j
hung in free air when he stood erect. |
His face was perhaps more florid, his
hair certainly more gray. His skin
remained fresh and clean, and always
he was well-groomed, having the able
assistance of his wife now in the selection
of his tailoring, as well as her
coaching in social usage. They always
looked their part. At morning, at
noon, or at dewy eve, in any assemblage
or any chance situation, they
both played the role assigned to
them in their own ambitions. Born of
an environment wholly unconventional,
they now took on that of conventionality
as though born to that in
stead. You could not have round a
more perfect type of respectability
than John Rawn, a more absolutely
valid exemplar of good social form
than his wife, Virginia. All things
prospered under their magic touch,
the genii of the lamp seemed theirs.
No problems remained for them to
solve. They had in their own belief
attained what may be attained in
American life, and they were happy.
Or, that is to say, they should at least
have been happy, if their theory of
Ufa oT)j quooocc onr? nf those like to
theirs, be correct. At least they were
what they were?products of a wonderful
country which makes millionaires
overnight and produces out of
bakeries women of one generation fit
to be the wives of princes born of i
forty kings.
We are, some of us at least, accustomed'
to worship such as these as
they ride by upon the high car of success.
accustomed to envy and to emu
late them. If that vehicle be the car
of Juggernaut, crushing under its
wheels multitudes of those who worship,
it is no concern of those who sit
aloft. For a long time Mr. Rawn and
his wife remained ignorant of the fact
that one victim of the wheels of their
success was none other than Rawn'sj
daughter, Grace.
Alas! for that young lady. She un-j
fortunately had been now for almost a j
vppr an nsnirart. in her Own right to I
a seat upon the car of ease and luxury;
yet here she saw herself swiftly
supplanted, and worse than that, swiftly
forgotten! Her year of quasi-place
and power had left her unwilling to
return to her own humble home. She
remained on at Graystone Hall, nowj
r~<xr&iy vioucu uy uuok/auu. ^ ^
found herself calmly accepted, yet
calmly neglected as well. Very naturally
she hated the new Mrs. Rawn
with all her soul; a hatred which that!
lady repaid with nothing better than j
a straight look into Grace's eyes, a;
look innocent, calm, and' wholly fear- j
less. Grace must now see the very j
jewels her own mother should have j
worn, blazing at the neck and hands of j
-xl j. iV-i I
ner stepmouier; luusi see ijluil iauv
taking assuredly and as of right, what
Grace could now never ask or expect!
for herself. With an unapproachable!
and wholly hateful air of distinction'
and good breeding which rankled most !
of all in crude Mrs. Halsey's heart, j
Virginia Rawn sat high on the car of
Juggernaut; and the car of Juggernaut
passed on. In pride and delight over
>>?o itminrr wifp .Tnhri Rawn tpaIIv for-t
got his daughter. *me yowig new wife
dftd tie same, or appeared to do so.
John Rawn had told the tnrtb to his
wife when first he had declared his
sentiments toward her?he never before
that time really had known love,
or at least had not known Infatuated
lore such as that he felt for her. He
exulted in the vistas of delight which
he saw before them, fancying them
endless. The very sight of his wife,
cool, faultless, self-possessed, haughty,
Wm with a sense of his own im
portance, making him feel that he was
one of God's chosen. She was his, he
had found her, discovered her, collected
her. She was his to put upon
a pedestal, to admire, to display, to
worskip. to load down with jewels. He
ha^ ev fhine; now which other men
flaunted his
ov.?ei?i- .. ?Jh a woman in their
fao?s. What mora can a rich mam v
'
than that sr.me? Is that not the dream
and test of power?to secure what others
may not have, to secure special j
privileges in this life? And is not the j
~ - -a j. v i
quest 01 oeauiy llie iirm uusmeaa ui
him who has attained power? Of all
these special privileges which had
come to John Rawn so swiftly in these
late rapid years, none so delicately
an^ warmlv filled his heart as that of
being able to call Virginia Rawn his
own. Why blame him? The sultans
of thirty or forty generations ha-fe devised
nothing better than this test of
power.
"*1 \ FT1
Fancied Himself to Be a Figure of
Dignity.
trerm Rawn, witn ail properly ans- !
tocratic leanings toward sultanry,
lacked certain elements of sultanbood
in strength, but had others in weakness.
He did not know that in reality
he was in the hands of a stronger nature
than his own. "She's got him
jumping through hoops," was the comment
of one young man. "He'll sit up
and bark whenever she gives the
word!" But Rawn did not know that
he was barring and jumping, his
tongue hanging out excitedly. In all
his mental pictures of himself he fancied
himself to be a figure of dignity,
of strength, indeed of majesty.

Of Interest to Drummers.
The Charlotte Daily Observer is
planning to devote a portion of its
Sunday issue each week to items of
news and articles of merit relating
to traveling men, their work and
worth to the city from which they
work and the country at large in
which they "live, move and have their
being."
In this undertaking The Observer
believes that it will have the cordial
endorsement and co-operation of each

organizations the United Commercial
Travelers and the Travelers Protective
Association, both of which maintain
large and flourishing branches in
Charlotte. The greater part of the ma- j
terial will be furnished by special j
committees from these two organiza- i
tions and will be devoted especially to |
affairs of interest to those who travel.;

sarily the beginning will have to be;
on a small scale, but with the cordial j
assistance of the hundreds of travel-!
