All was mirth nn&good feeling. i~ From the public buildings, the clubs*. hotels and carriages floated the Amerlean flag. It hung'every where, butjTt was never applauded and yet never hissed.

George .^Buckley was in the city, but he had v jttoe only to attend to the work of ingreeting the books of a broker who ^Hued considerable grain and cotton Dnrley house. The broker, Mr. Harry Stone, was a young man of high social standing in Atlahta, and he had formed a strong friendship for George and extended the hospitality of the best club In the place to him and offered to Introduce him to his friends, but George refrained from accepting. lie was too fine a man to feel at ease in general society A so early after his father's disgrace, and Stone understood this and did not press V those things upon him. , ' see you've got some stunning girls up your way," Stone remarked as i'l tjgpqje-sqt at a desk in the corner o{ i sdiisfhnni jfliffl'"iT T" tbe hooVa, "Ifs reported down here T ernor runs up that" way every chance \ he gets." .

She's visiting the Dunlelghs, and I guess I'll meet her while * ' she's here. You know her, of course?" "Yes, we are friends," George said simply. a "I've never seen her," said tbe DroKer, -nut, judging rrom-her picture, he must be good looking. However, one can't tell about that. The pictures in* the newspapers are always bad." "In the newspapers?" said George, In surprise. "Why, yes; It's ln# both the papers today, along with an account of the reception the governor Is giving to her - ' , and her party at the mansion tonight. It's to be awfully swell. I'm not going. In fact, he and I dfti't get on. The trnth Is I belong to a little club of young Americans that tried to snow him under in the last election, but we got left. Ho had too big a pull with the ring. He used to be civil to me, _ but he snarls like a possum when we meet now. He can't forget an injury. Did you ever see him?" "Oh, yes," said George. "He's been up our way often." "Oh, of course; I'd forgotten. They ' say he's not been having exactly smooth sailing up at Darley either, but ( it looks a little like he's making more headway now." "How is that?" asked Buckley, his fly,. blood running cold, hie heart sinking. "Why, the reception, you know. That looks a little like she's giving in, don't you think? But I may be dead wrong. She may want to make that friend of hers, that Miss Cosby, have a good time, and the general run of girls woul(l consider it sheer madness to lose a chance like that. Why, it's to be the chief event of the reunion. Well, 'w-" he's welcome to his glory; it won't last long; he will never get in again."

Why, he had to beg the bank for a little raise to give this reception. Do you know, I suspected he was trying to marry for money.

George stifled a groan and rose and left the room. The thought was like the pangs of death. He went out Into the streets and walked on and on, going he cared not wbltlier, trying to kill the despair within him. Dnrk thoughts pursued lilin, but he threw them aside. He was a soldier fighting black adversity, and he would fight?fight to the end. He had been walking half an hour when he came to the spacious grounds of the Dunlclgli home. A carriage stood at the door. It was waiting for her?her! In a short while she would emerge dressed for the recentlon. CouUl h?> not wait there on the street and see her?

The two girls puused for a moment under the great I swinging lamp that hung from the 1 ceiling of the veranda. Buckley hold his breath as he looked upon her. lie had never seen her In complete evening dress before, and her rare beauty wus a revelation to him. She seemed to be at once the girl he knew and adored and yet another who was quite a stranger to him. The coachman was holding the carriage door open for her, and she swept down the steps and the door closed upon her. The hoofs of the mettlesome horses ground Into tlio pebbled drive as they whirled her away.

Buckley followed the Jolting carriage along the drive and finally succeeded In Jerking the door open Just as the coachman drew his horses to a stand In th? light at the stops. George helped the ladles out. "Why, it's Mr. Buckley!" exclaimed Mrs. Cranston, in grateful astonishment.

"Well, I'm glad it was no worse," declared Mrs. Dunlelgli. "Come on In. You'll all catch your deaths out here In those thin dresses." Lydln and George ascended the steps last, and she paused with him a moment alone on the veranda. She had not spoken. "I have simply no explanation to make," he said, eying her contritely. "Explanation?" she said. "Whyshould there ba me?" "As soov. as their excitement is over," he reminded her, "they will wonder how I happened to be up here in the grounds at this time of night." "Oh!" She raised her eyes to his In a startled expression. "But you may know," he went on? "you may know that It was simply be Qeorge helped the ladles nut. cause I was dying to catch a glimpse of you.

I passed hero earlier in the evening and noticed the carriage waiting for you. I saw that I could hide behind that hedge and see you come out. I did it and drank In your beauty and my deeper despair. Then I came back a few minutes ago and hid again to see you once more. Somehow I felt that my agony would be less keen If I could merely see you last?do you understand??see you after he had told you good night back there In all his glory. I saw the wheel coming off.

Lydla made no reply, sinking, palo and miserable, Into n chair and covering her face with her hands. "I say, don't let It worry you," said Miss Cosby. "But the whole thing makes me lighting mad."

Calder," who swlnNleil many rlcb men by bis porous plaster treatment, admitted his guilt In the Grand street court, Brooklyn, the other day, says the New York American. "I'm guilty; there Is no use In denying it," he said, and then lnughed merrily, but qulctlj*, as he recalled the predicaments In which he had left so many of his victims. "Americans are so easy," he said, "that It is a shame not to take their money. E. Z. Mark exists In other places besides tho funny pages of the newspapers." Waiving preliminary examination Muller was held in bonds of $1,000 on | a charge of grand larceny. The officers who made tlio nrroot ? .^V. ?. V.OVUI IUU 111111 IU police headquarters, where he posed for a picture. "This Is where E. Z. Mark triumphs," he Bald. In his free and easy way Muller told the court how he swindled his victims by the porous plaster treatment and Beemed to feel thnt It was all a good Joke. His story was filled with maxims concerning the gullibility of the American business man. "Why," he said, "I was kept constantly laughing nt my own tricks. When I came to this country from Germany I was an orderly at Bellevue, and I then discovered the weak point in the armor of the average man. Why Is It that a man Is pointed out as a doctor? Because of his air of authority and dignity. I never was a doctor, only posed as one and then posed sue- j cessfully. ''All the time I was at Bellevue I studied men and women closely and made it my business to fiud out their business interests. Then I would approach a man under pretense of allowing him to make a great sum of money off me. This would flatter his pride, and he would think thnt I was the easy mark. "Having mastered my man thoroughly In the presence of the man's wife I would note a few symptoms and with grave alarm refer to his heart action. The wife usually listening would step forward and say. 'That's right, John, you'd better have the matter attended to by the doctor." "When I said, 'Take off your clothes, my man,' I felt like going out on the porch and having a good hearty laugh. Imagine for yourself the victim taking off his clothing in a half hearted, reluctant way. "Then, when I said, 'Llo down on the bed and put your face in the pillow/ It seemed too funny to see the way even the shrewdest inun would obey. Then, with all his clothing in my hands, I had leisure to laugh as much as I wanted to and rifle the clothing. My medicine case was usuallv dnr?r??if.
