CHATTER II.—Continued.
Mrs. Carteret was propped anions
the cushions of a divan with a book.
Her daughter occupied the undivided
half of a tete-a-tete chair with a blonde
athlete In a clerical coat and a re-
versed collar. Miss Virginia waa sit-
ting alone at a window, but she rose
and came to greet the visitor.
•'How good of you to take pity on
us," she ; al.l. giving him her hand.
Then she put him at one with the
others: "Aunt Martha you have met, i
also Cousin Bessie. Let me present
you to Mr. Calvert. Cousin Billy, this
Is Mr. Adams, who is responsible In
a way for many of my Boston-leurned
gaucberles "
Aunt Martha closed th» book on her

tested in mild deprecation; and Adams
laughed end shook hands with ltev.
William Calvert and made Virginia's
peace all In the same breath.
"Don't apologize for Miss Virginia.
Mrs. Carteret. We wore very good
friends in Boston, chlerty, l think, be-
cause I never objected when she want-
ed to—er- to take a rise out of me."
Then to Vtrglutu: “I hope I don't In-

you were good to come? Uncle Somer-
ville tells us we are passing through
the famous Holden Belt, whatever that
may be—and recommends an easy-
chnlr and a window. But l haven't [
seen anything but stubble-fields—dis-
mally wet stubble-fields at that. Won't
you sit down und help me watch them
go by?"
Adams placed a chair for her. and
found one for himself.
“ ‘Unde Somerville'—am I to have
the pleasure of meeting Mr. Somer-
ville Darrah?"
Miss VI gmla's look was non-oom-
mlttai.
•yuien esbe?" she queried, airing her
one Westernism before Bhe was fair-
ly in the longitude of it. "Uncle Sotn-
ervlile is a law unto hlmRelf. He had
a lot of telegrams and things at Kan-
sas City, and lie Is locked In his den
with Mr. Jastrow, dictating answers by
the dozen. I suppose."
"Oh, these Industry colonels!” said
Adams. "Don't their tollings make
you ache In sheer sympathy some-
times?"
"No. indeed," was the prompt re-
joinder; "I envy them. It must be
fine to have large things to do. and
to be ublo to do them."
“Degenerate scion of a noble race!"
jested Adams. "What ancient Carteret
of them all would have compromised
with the necessities by becoming a
captain of Industry?”
"It wasn’t their metier or tho metier ,
of their times," snld Miss Virginia
with conviction. "They were sword-
soldlcrs merely beenuso that was the {
only way a strong man could conquer
in those days. Now it Is different, and
u stron; man flth.s qu-te as nobly In
another field—and deserves quite as
much honor."
"Think so? I don’t agrf'P' ^ith you

to take things easy. A go d club, a
•cholca of decent theaters, the society
of u few charming women like—"
She broke him with a mocking laugh.
"You were born a good many cen-
turies too late. Mr. Adams; you would
have fitted so beautifully Into de-
cadent Rome."
••No — thanks. Twentieth-century
America, with the commercial frenzy
taken out of It, is good enough
for me. 1 wak telling Winton a little
while ago—"
"Your friend of the Kansas City sta-
tion platform?" sho intenupted.
"Mightn’t you Introduce us a Ilf Jo less

•Beg pardon. I'm sure—yours and
Jack's; Mr. John Winton. of New
York and the world at large, familiarly
known to his intimates—and they
are precious few—as 'Jack \\.' As V
was about to say—"
But she seemed to find a malicious
satisfaction In breaking in upon hint.
"'Mr. John Winton;' it's a pretty
name, as names go, but it Isn't as
strong as he Is. He is an Industry
colonel,’ Isn't he? He looks It.

Now for Mr. Morton l\ Adams the

during the lung afternoon which he
wore out In solitude there grew up ip.

befall If these two whom he had so
proteequely misrepresented each to the
other shuuld come together in the
pathway ot acquaintanceship.
But how to bring them together was
a problem which retimed to be solved
until chance pointed the way. Since
the "UtuHed" had lost auolber hour
during the day, there was a rush lor
the dining ear as soon as the announce-
ment of its taking on had gone through
the traiu. Adams uud Winton were
of this rush, and so were the mem-
bers of Mr. Somerville Hurrah’s party
In the seating the party was sepa-
rated, as room at the crowded tables
could be found; aud Miss Virginia's
fate gave her the unoccupied scat at
one of the duet tables, opposite a
young man with steadfast gray eyes
und a Van Dyck beard.
Winton was equal to the emergency,
or thought he was. Adams was
still within call, und he beckoned him.
meaning to propose an exchange of
: stmts. But the Bostonlau misunder-
stood willfully.
"Most happy, I'm sure." he said,
coming Instantly to the rescue. "Miss
Carteret, my friend signals his di-
lemma. May I present him?"
Virginia BUtiled and gave the re-
1 qttlred permission in a word. But for
Winton self-possession Hew shrieking.
"Ah—er—I hope you know Mr.

murely. "I Uldn t know It was a craft
