"I suppose they sent me here be cause I wis imed after you, Uncle Gerald." Jerry dug Into his grape fruit aggressively. "I hate Geralti. Didn't they ever call you Jerrqy?" "Men do," resionded Marbury ab seljtly. All of his answers to Jerry had been absent-inded(ha ones for the past two weeks. Ile had run out of details the second day after Jerry's sudden arrival. "MIss Millard calls you Jerry, doesn't she?" IIarbury frowned nnd viped off a globule of juice from hIs waIsteoat. "You should eat that in a lba thtub, Old mai. Can't you be careful?" Jerry pushed back his plate coin forta b1ly. "I'm through," he announced. "What are we going to (10 today?" iar''tiry read hIs newspaper, pre tendingot to iear. As an en tortaila ment conniit tee of one for Margaro.'s ran1(1 and only le had ofliciated for two weeks, and the thing was getting oil hIs nerves. There was no special rea son why his sister should have sent Jerry on for a month. She knew he lived in an exclusive hachelor apart men it witl one Jap in tiserva nt. Kato had left (Ile lirst week, after Jerry had brought in it dozen fresh crabs and put then in the lee hox. "No delight I lindisciplined youth,'" hle had sald siglingly. 'Me go re iciantly but sool." Since then Marbury had been at [hIe mercy of Jerry. IHe had consti tuted himself private secretary and hiousehboy pro ten., whenI he wis not in the basement chumming wIth the engineer, or on tile roof sending off aerop)lales to the joy of Madison ave nue. 'When hIs uncle returned from the club before dinner lie would give a report on the day's calls. "That tailor wants you to pay the spring bill anyhow. Says you can let the summer one go till fall. I told him you11 had the measles badly and had left for the country.

''I'll call him11. ild Miss Mlllar-d call up?'' ''No, hut I called her four times,'' ginnuied Jerry. "Gee, thatl's se girl, Uncle Gehrald(.

This was Nan Millard, and Jerry did sone hard thinking on her account. Before the coming of Mrs. Hamilton she had been Marbury's principal concern iI life. "Did Aliss Millard," Jerry began, and stopped short, fingering the pearl studs on the bed. He had almost thought out loud. "I mean, Uncle Gor ald, which are you going to marry?" Marbury's fingers fumbled over his ties in the drawer. le missed Kato's ministrations. "I like Nan the best," Jerry added in what lie tried to make an offhand manner. "So do I, old man, come to think of it," Marbury answered between his teeth. "Trouble is, the ladles have the preference. You can't club them and race for the nearest honeymoon cave, you know. Allss Millard is not ac cepting a man with only ten thousand a year. She lacks the essential femin nine quality of sympathy, whlich is a bit beyond you, isn't It, Jerry?" "Hlas the widow got it?" asked Jerry earnestly. Marbury stared at him flxedly. , "lHow do you know she's a widow?" "If sile's Mrs. Somebody, you couldn't marry her unless she was, could you?" Ai1arbury wIls silent. Oddly enough, the boy's words stirred upi a dormant sense of honor. lie wondered where old Hamilton was, anyhow? Left in som1e Conl Venti ent post abroad, prob ably. There had been a Frieh d-i vorce, lie knew, and the rumor that Fracsti would marry soiebody he had been jealous of ov(r there. All at once lie looked at the photograph on the mantel, it Nan's clear, wide eyes and sunn1y smile, at the sweet ness and wholesomeness of her girl hood, aind le sighed. "I like her best, ',,o, old man," he said, "only she won't have me." The next day Jerry called up Miss Milla rd and Invited her to call for 111111 and take lhhn to lunch so they :ould get acquainted. She -was ever so much better than her pictures, he decided at first sight. Brown eyes and(] reddish brown hair, and little freckles over her nose like gold dust. And lie loved to answer her questions about Marbury. She was so delicate and naive about it. Jerry understood perfectly. So lie lielped her out. First he gave his uncle a character for good temper and kindness and all around splendid fellowship. Then lie told how worried lie was about hIm. They were in a well-known restaurant, at a table near the window, and Jerry felt safe. "I can get him here In about two iniumies," ierry said eagerly. "HIe'. just overi at the club, and he'd coie in one hop if you said so. Ile's ter ribly vorried about you." "!e seems to be," smiled Nan. "You doni't understand, Jerry." "ure I do," inslted Jerry. "But lie just sees the widow Because hI needs sympathy. lie snys you lhaven't any, and you want somebody witli more imoney, I don't helleve i word he says." he added, hastily, at tho fire in her eyes. "But why did you thron himi down?" "le never asked iie," laughed Naun scornfully. "Jerry, I think you're four flushing." But she spoke to an empty chair Jerry reached a telephone booth ani enlled the club in triumph. "Say, that you, Uncle Gerald? Thh is Jerry. Well, it's 0. K. Comiie oil over andl see for yourself. At the Re g no, Nan and me. Yep. She sald so She said you'd never asked lier', so1 dId for' viu. Whaimt? Oh, all rIght.. know.
