Chaptkr 1.—Bennie Standish, a pretty and vivacious girl of 18, is to be married to Beverly Mason, a man of 50, who is her father's creditor. Chaptkr 2.—Dale Everett, a New Englander, and Adrien 1 .atour, of French descent, are West Point ehdets, great friends and tine fellows. They both admire Bennie Standish and her chum, Edith Van d. r Huysen, a some what cold but very brilliant society woman. PART I—CHAPTER III. IN THE SOCIETY PRIMER. mal sauciness returned; and she rattled out, as though she must say something: "But they are coining. Tab, and they are welcome. Why can't they be grooms men? Two are not many, dear, but then they are two more than you'll ever have! Edith shall stand with Dale, and Sophie Lord with—Adrien.” She paused lie- fore speaking, but only for an instant, adding giddily: “They’ll both lie de lighted. We all love the buttons, eh, Tab? Come, confess: didn’t you like the buttons, never so long ago?" And without even a glance at any one else Bennie rushed to her father, threw both arms round ids neck and held his face close against her own. Then she ran out of the room with a laugh that died suddenly as she reached the hall stairway. “I can’t quite make Bennie out today," Mr. Standish said, staring toward the door the girl had slammed behind her. "Naturally she ought to be nervous, but” "Nonsense, Brother Standish!” cut in Miss Tabitha. “Who wouldn’t be ner vous six hours before marriage? I should, I’m Kuh-I” “And very naturally, too,” added Edith, as she dropped gracefully into an armchair and picked up the morning’s Herald. "I almost believe I should lie nervous myself—then!” “And that reminds me, my dear,” re plied Mr. Standish, "that—um—m—un less my memory fails me, one of these boys was very devoted to you last sum mer.” “Both," answered Edith, with a little nisi, not looking up from her paper. “They coulu not have been nicer to me iaxl they been my younger brothers.” “Ah! you sly darling,” Miss Fay ex claimed, “I 4cnow what brothers’ and cousins’ devotion means, especially to a girl like you.” The pair were fast allies; but the spin ster sat at the feet of her junior’s aplomb and world sense with an awe struck meekness foreign to her nature. And she owed Edith an unspoken but deep debt, too: for in all preliminary train ing necessary to break Bennie’s high spirit to the double harness j.roposi tion so necessary to family prospects, nothing had availed like Miss Van der Huysen’s precept and experience, not to add example. And during the town winter succeeding the encampment, and in all the present spring, all three had been used unceasingly. For, while no such word was spoken at Rose Villa or even whispered in the city, it was tacitly understood that the beautiful American Bennie rushed to her father. When Mr. Standish at length found ids sjiectaclcs be read the dispatch, glanced nervously over his shoulder at Bennie, then read it again, with puck ered lips. "Well—a—nm—m,—you were right, Edith,” he said. “No- bad news." “Of course not! ’Altars, augurs, cir cling wings,’ told me so,” she answered, brightly. “And my own heart con firmed them!” "You can hear it,” Mr. Standish con tinued. “It reads, ‘We passed exams. Appointed today. Adrien gets Cavalry, ami I Engineers Will be down noon boat. Dale Everett.’ " "Coming here—Today!” Edith ut tered the exclamation in natural sur prise; and that strange glow of hers— tliat was never a blush, but a warmth of her whole olive skin—came to the face she turned toward the Hudson, as the light in her eyes deepened and burned “/ remember our compact," Everett ansircrcd tfravdy. The whistle of the down river steamer blew promptly at Standish landing, sending its snort through every room of Rose Villa, and scarue had the cch6 come back from the hills behind when she was again moving cityward. The whistle had been heard by both girls in Bennie’s dainty’ boudoir above the porch, and it brought her father and aunt to the door to greet the visitors. Sincere and cordial welcome they re ceived from both, Miss Tabitha’s recent annoyance meltifig in surprise at their changed appearance. “Why, Dale!” she exclaimed: “if you are not really a man and an officer! How you have changed! And you, too, Adrien! Upon my word, I should not hare known either of you!” “Because I also am ‘an officer and a gentleman,’ Miss Tabitha?” queried the Creole, with a sunny laugh. "Well, I’ll promise never to show you ‘conduct un worthy’ of either again. I’ll never be the mauvais sujet I was in Paris.” “And 1 will go on his bond for it," Dale added. “But it does seem strange, doesn’t it? Lieut. Latour, First United States cavalry, and Lieut. Everett, of the Engineers!” “That’s right; drop the unnecessary Brevet Second,” laughed Adrien, as Miss Tabitha proffered meat and drink and warm welcome. Few contrasts could be imagined stronger than that between these two new defenders of the flag of the free. Dale Everett's strong, dear cut features were somewhat too pale from close con finement at study; hut, spite of that, the nameless something, always felt, but not to be described, spoke plainly the splinter of Plymouth Rock. A large head, witli crisp, fair hair, surmounted a tall, strong limbed frame, wherein the elasticity of the American tempered the latent power of the Englishman. But especially in the eyes and mouth the in ner man spoke out, the calm intensity of gaze hinting something behind it which might on occasion, gleam out in jiovJer- ful, even cruel flash; the thin lips—ten der now in their mobile curves—belied the long oval of the jaw if they could not sot hard and relentless as steel. Slim, lithe, with a sinuous grace in every movement that told of perfect muscular work, Adrien Latour's bronzed olive skin showed the veins lienoath on meaning to both our futures for me to forget it one instant today. But. Ad, come what may, we shall Ysith lie better men for i%” “Dear old fellow!” cried Adrien, im pulsively. "But how mnch easier it would be did we know which one of ns it is!” "It may prove neither,” the other an swered, doubtfully. “Women like her are never lightly won, and neither of us has ever yet spoken" “In words, no,” broke iu the Creole, “but she must know. Why, all last summer she never cared for other men. I tell you. Dale, my faith iu her is next to that in our holy church! She never could trifle with us!" “Never, I believe on my soul! Bat, Ad, if you are right, ami it prove to be you, I believe you know I am man enough to say God bless you, with my heart as well as my lips! Wo will still bt#—brothers!” Their hands came together in firm clasp, as the Creole echoed the one word— “Brothers!” Without even another look he strode through the window, lighted his cigar, and Dale listened to the quick, firm step that spurned the gravel in its eager quest. Then he threw himself on the sofa, with a cloud on his face. “We must soon know,” he said aloud. “And if, as ho says, it he one of us, will the other have the strength to keep that pledge? Well”—and the cloud cleared away—“there is no use in borrowing trouble. It finds us soon enough!” He drop lied back on the sofa and picked up the paper. The exciting “long ses sion” of that summer was rapidly align ing into strictly sectional factions, and the thoughtful young soldier began to believe that so much of such t;Uk must at last end in action. To him the tele grams meant that or nothing. The little French clock on the mantel ticked with remorseless monotone. The balmy air was gently soporific; the distant hum of the Hudson fell drowsily upon his ear; a stray bee in the cornice buzzed him into that halt way stage from which the lit tle clock relentlessly ticked him into sleep. f7’o hi runt hi neil.)

So varying were the ^^^x^fXiat. itr^Z “dl 1 Wm ^ ° n haml * Uring the M,U ‘- belles who had accepted English titles. Important events had occurred in the Martindale peerage within the twelve months past. Harcourt Annesley Dud ley Vernon Mortimer Spencer, its heir apparent, had followed one fox too many. A nasty cropirer at a blind ditch in a liotly contested field had landed him on Ids head and beyond the care for earthly coronets. Then the Hon. Alger non, summoned by cable to nurse his venerable lordship in the illness caused by the terrible shock of his heir’s death, arrived only iu time to receive his bless ing and the title of Algernon, Lord Martindalo, the seventeenth of the line. “I shan't pretend to bo brokenhearted, you know,” he had later w’ritten to Edith, in a straggling, boyish, round hand, “for in fact 1 had hardly ever peen Harcourt since we were little chil dren. And the poor dear old governor was really quite 80, you see, and few men of politics and fiwddon wore fitter to die than he. But I was awfully cut np, dear Miss Van der Hnysen, when I knelt for his last blessing and saw his dear old eyes look so wistfully into mine. It made me feel I ought to be worthier of my people; and I am going to be a better man from this, really now; and I want you to let me hopiethat some day yon will let me ask you to help me keep my promise to the dear old governor” And to this, and much more of the same sort, Edith had replied in the most delicate style of condolence, and in a most English handwriting, firm ns her will and clear as her insight into hu man nature as it grows in the society hothouse. Only this and nothing more; but it was known at the clubs that Lord Marticdale would soon be over, and per haps it was known only to Edith that when the seventeenth Lady Martindale i was presented at court, American aids “Yes, it is—a little—am—m-awk- j to the peerage of Britain would feel no ward,” the old gentleman replied, half shame for their latest addition.

In the plain uniform of their new rank tlie two men standing side by side in the bright June sunshine were absolute types of those antipodal strengths of the republic—action and thought. Strong, steadfast and enduring, the Puritan scion was the man to breast and break down barriers on his life road by sheer endeavor. The nervous impetuosity of the Creole would aim to clear them at a single bound. Thrown and baffled, he would try again, bo long as the hot strength did not burn away of its own fire; but he would never pause to tear down the obstacle, or turn to seek a by path. Born in bitter struggle, matured by years of laborious trial, the high caste New Englander showed in Dale Everett —a silent, incarnate strength. Dia metric opposites—triple result of blood, life and climate — spoke as plainly through every movement of his Creole classmate. Even the pose of the two men told its tale. Resting carelessly on a chair back, the graceful form quite still and the head courteously bent, Adrien Latour listened to Miss Tabitha witli rather vague intensity. Only the nervous tap of the thin soled boot told that sex, not individual, claimed that endurance lie was fast losing. Dale Everett was running over the story of graduation and commission ( to Mr. Standish, his quiet ]>osit.iou and frank talk tempered by not too pronounced re spect for the latter's age. But both the black eyes and the blue turned more than (Jnce ' imi>aticntly toward the door, till at last Everett, with iris blunt candor, queried so sud denly that the spinster bounced in her |seat: “Where in the world is Bennie?” “I suppose,” Latour added quickly, “wo should say ‘Miss Standish,’ now that we are ‘great, grown up’ people.” There was a telegraphic glance be tween brother and sister-in-law. Hi* said, quite as plainly as helplessly: “What shall I say? ftowoxpain the in decent haste?” Hers replied, quite as plainly and with added sharpness: “Nonsense, Brother Standish! See what my tact will acceta- plishl” Then Miss Tabitha strode across the room, took her brother's arm—adding emphasis by a sharp pinch—and moved toward the door. “Make yourself perfectly at home, Dale,” she said, “and you also, Adrian. All will be explained as it is; and, being ; as it is, such is for the best! Bennie, under these circumstances, cannot ex plain for herself, and so her natural i guardians sgeak for her.” With which oracular utterance and a fresh pinch on the supporting arm. Miss Fay led her brother off, unresisting prey. Both of the young men stared at her departing figure; then both spoke in characteristic style. "Mon Dieu! Tab is a sphinx!” Latour exclaimed with a low laugh; “but hang me if I shall stake my life on unraveling her riddle! Why, Dale, the old girl is rnstier than ever, and hard as her Egyp tian sister?” The other answered in his quieter way: "There must bo some reason for her embarrassment, though. She can't mean to leave the invaders in possession in this fashion. She'll soon return for an- •ther broadside, so here goes to sit down for a siege.” And he picked up The Her ald and sat in Edith's vacated chair. “Ten to one Bennie is out there,’’ La- tour answered, restleesly walking to the window and peering wistfully into the garden. “Anyway, I can smoke a cigar out doors.
