A Novelization of the Play of the Same Name

By BOOTH TARKINGTON and HARRY LEON WILSON

SYNOPSIS. CHAPTER I.—Daniel Voorhees Pike, a rising young Kokomo (Ind.) lawyer, hears that his ward, Ethel GrangerSimpson, is to be married abroad to the son of an English earl. Her father was his nearest friend and he has long loved the girl. He goes abroad to arrange with her the business matters connected with her marriage. II —Ethel Granger-Simpson and her brother Horace, have become anglomanlacs and are spending much of their late father’s fortune In travel and entertaining. They become intimate with Lady Creech, the Earl of Hawcastle, his son, Almerio St. Aubyn. and Comtesse de Champigny, an adventuress and associate of the earl’s. They are at a hotel at Sorrento, Italy. Ethel promises to marry the son because craves a title. Ill—The Russian Grand Duke Vasili is shortly to arrive at the same hotel incognito as Herr von Grollerhagen. IV —The Earl of Hawcastle is in need of money and wants his son to get a huge settlement of money at his marriage to Ethel. An escaped Russian bandit is located at Sorrento. V —For some reason the comtesse fears the alleged bandit is one Ivanoff. Almeric tells his father Ethel has accepted him. Vl—Horace agrees to persuade his sister Ethel to settle $750,000 on Almeric. Vll—Ethel tells Horace of her delight at the prospect of her coming marriage into the ancient family of the St. Aubyns. VIII—Von Grollerhagen arrives with Daniel Voorhees Pike on foot, their auto having broken down. IX—Harold, Ethel and the Hawcastle party are disgusted with what they term the ’’American manners” of Pike. She tells Pike of her identity, as he had failed to recognize her in her European clothes and European deportment. CHAPTER X. THE HUMILIATION. INSTANTLY Pike turned with a lithe twist of his lank body and half lifted his hand as if he expected a blow. Then his arm dropped again, and he stood looking at her in calm and Interested fashion. As he stared, his expression changed to one of mingled tenderness and pride, and when he spoke there was a world of pathos in his voice. “Why,” he said in a low, astonished tone—“why, I knew your pa from the time I was a little boy till he died, and I looked up to him more’n I ever looked up to anybody in my life, but I never thought he’d have a girl like you. He’d be mighty proud if he could •ee you now.” She turned from him in a smothered rage and then faced him again with cold disapproval in her tone. “Perhaps it will be as well if we avoid personal allusions,” she said resentfully. This man should have no opportunity for bringing up those vulgar, half forgotten family reminiscences if she could help it He smiled a trifle wanly. “I don’t just see how that’s possi ble,” he answered, and she waved hei hand indignantly. “Will you please sit down?” she said, and Pike made an awkward bow. “Yes, ma’am,” be replied meekly, with the faintest accent on the last word, and obediently took the chair that Horace had vacated so precipitously. She shuddered at the word he had used and glanced nervously at the hat he was holding in his hands. “Are—are you really my guardian?" she asked at last, with a trace of heat-

“We could have been spared this—this mortification.

ed unbelief in her tones. Pike smiled at her. “Well," he said. “I’ve got the papers In my grip. 1 expect that”— “Oh, 1 know It!" she Interrupted explosively. “It’s only that we didn’t fancy—we didn’t expect”— She paused, and he went on: “I expect you thought Fd be considerably older.” "Not only that.” “And I guess you thought I’d neglected you a good deal.” There was a touch of remorse in his tone, and he looked Idly at the hat he held. “And It did look like it —never coming to see you—but 1 couldn’t hardly manage the time to get away. You see, being trustee of your share of the estate 1 don't hardly have a fair show at my law practice. But when I got ydur letter eleven days ago I says to myself: ‘Here. Daniel Voorhees Pike, you old shellback, you’ve just got to take time. Johu Simpson trusted you with his property, and he’e done more—he’s

trusted you to look out for her, ana now she’s come to a kind of jumping off place in her life—she’s thinking of getting married—so you just pack your gripsack and hike out over there and stand by her.’ ” During the last half of his speech there was a tone of affectionate regard, at which she bridled resentfully. “I quite fail to understand your point of view,” she said frigidly. “Perhaps I had best make it clear to you that I am no longer thinking of getting married.” “Well, Lord ’a’ mercy!" ejaculated Pike, leaning back in his chair and smiling at her, but she affected not to notice the lighter tone and went on. “I mean 1 have decided upon It The ceremony is to take place in a fortnight” Pike brought the front feet of his chair down with a crash. “Well, I declare!” he cried. “We shall dispense with all delays,” she went on, and Pike regarded her solemnly for a moment “Well, I don’t know as I could say anything against that. He must be a mighty nice fellow, and you must think a heap of him.” He sighed. “That’s the way it should be.”. He looked at her. “And you’re happy?” “Distinctly!” said Ethel decisively.

Pike looked off over the blue bay, and then his gaze traveled to where Horace had been standing, and with a start he turned to her again, speaking eagerly: “It ain’t that fellow I was talking with, yonder?" And she voiced an indignant protest. “That was my brother!” “Lord ’a’ mercy!” ejaculated Daniel and then 'recovered himself. “But, then, I wouldn’t remember him. He couldn’t have been more than twelve when you was home last. Of course I’d ’a’ known you”— “How?” demanded Ethel. “You couldn’t have seen me since I was a child.” “From your picture, though now I see it ain’t so much like you,” he answered, and she stepped forward, with astonishment. “You have a photograph of me?” “The last time I saw your father alive he gave it to me—to look at” “And you remembered”— “Yes, ma’am.” A look of incredulity passed over Ethel’s face, and she replied: “It does not strike me as possible. However, we will dismiss the subject.” “Weil, if you’d like to introduce me to your—to your”— “To my Brother?” “No, ma’am; to your—to the young man.” “To Mr. St. Aubyn?” cried Ethel, recoiling a step. “I think it quite unnecessary.” “I’m afraid I can’t see it that way. I’ll have to have a couple of talks with him. sort of look him over, so to speak. I won’t stay around here spotting your fun any longer than I can help—only just for that and to get « letter I’m expecting from England.” Ethel bit her lip vexatiously. “I do not see that you need have come at ail. We could have been spared this—this mortification.”

“You mean I mortify you? Why, I —I can’t see how.” ” “Jn a hundred ways,” she replied, “every way. That common persor who Is with you”— “He isn’t common. You only think so because he’s with me,” returned Daniel sadly, looking down. “Who Is he?” demanded Ethel ly“He told me hfs name, but I can’t remember it I call him ‘doc.’ ’’ “It doesn’t matter. What does matter is that you needn’t have come. You could have written your consent.” “No, ma’am, not without seeing the young man,” answered Pike resolutely. “And you could have arranged the settlement in the same way,” went on Ethel unheedlngly. “Settlement! You seem to have settied It pretty well without me.” re turned Pike, smiling. “You don’t understand,” said Ethel impatiently. “An alliance of this sort always entails a certain settlement." She paused. “Please listen. If you were at all a man of the world I should not have to explain that in marrying Into a noble house I bring my dot, my dowry”— “Money, you mean?” asked Pike, puzzled. “Yes, if you choose to put it that way.” “You mean you want to put aside something of your own to buy a lot and start housekeeping”— “No,” she flared. “I mean a settlement upon Mr. St Aubyn directly." “You mean you want to give It to him?” <- “If that's the only way to make you understand—yes!" she flashed. “How much do you want to give him?” asked Pike thoughtfully. “A hundred and fifty thousand pounds,” said Ethel desperately. Pike whistled. “Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars!”

"Precisely that!” said Ethel. “Well, he has made you care for him,” said Daniel. “1 guess he must be the prince of the world! He must be a great man. 1 expect you’re right about me not meeting him. I probably wouldn’t stack up very high alongside a man that’s big enough for you to think so much of as you do him. Why, I’d have “to squeeze every bit of erty your pa left you.” “Is it your property?” she flared at him. “I’ve worked pretty hard to take care of It for you,” he answered gently, and instantly she regretted the sharp speech. “Forgive me," she pleaded. “It was unworthy of me—unworthy of the higher and nobler things that life calls pie to live up to—that I shall live up

to. The money means nothing to me. I’m not thinking of that. It is a necessary form.” Pike looked at her keenly. “Have you talked with Mr. St Aubyn about this settlement—this present you want to make to him?” he asked. “Not with him.” “I thought not," he went on amusedly. “You’ll see. He wouldn’t take it if I’d let you give It to him. A fine man like that wants to make his own way. Mighty few men like to have fun poked at them about living on their wives’ money." “Oh. I can’t make you understand!” cried Ethel despairingly. “A settlement isn’t a gift” “Then how’d you happen to decide that just a hundred and fifty thousand

pounds was what you wanted to give him?” be demanded. “It was Mr. St. Aubyn’s lather who fixed the amount,” replied Ethel desperately. “His father! What’s he got to do with it?” “He is the Earl of Hawcastle. the head of the ancient house.” “And he asks you for your propertyasks you for it In so many words?” “Yes, as a settlement.” “And your young man knows it?” “I tell you, Mr. Pike, I have not discussed It with Mr. St Aubyn.” Pike laughed. “I reckon not,” he said amusedly. “Well. sir. do you know what’s the first thing Mr. St Aubyn will do when he hears his father made such a proposition? He’ll take the old man ont In the back lot and give him a thrashing he won’t forget to the day of his death!” She was about to answer when from a distance came the roll of drums and then the sound of a bugle. The sounds came from afar off, as if below the cliff.

They both stopped to listen. Then the servants came running, with Mariano at their head. They rushed to the wall and leaned over, all excitement. Mariano turned to call to them over his shoulder: “The bandit of Russia! The soldiers think he is hidden in a grotto under these cliffs!” As he spoke Almeric ran down the steps with a shotgun in his band and made for the steps leading down the face of the cliff. Pike turned to Ethel. “I saw that fellow on the road here. What’s he meant for?” Ethel turned angrily from the lawyer and called sharply to her fiance: "Almeric!” St Aubyn turned and stopped. “Hello!” he said. “I wish to present my guardian to you.” and turned to Pike as Almeric approached. “This Is Mr. St Aubyn,” she said steadily. Almeric stared at Pike through his monocle and laughed? “Why, it’s the donkey man, Isn’t it? How very odd! You'll have to see the governor and our solicitor about that settlement, though. I’ve some Important business here. The police are chasing a bally convict chap under the cliff yonder, so you’ll have to excuse me. You know there’s nothing like a little convict shooting to break the blooming monotony—what?” He turned and rushed off down the stairway. Pike turned to look after him in mute astonishment and then turned to Ethel. She refused to meet his glance, and the hot blood rose to her face as she felt his scrutiny. She tapped nervously with her foot, and the astonishment grew In Daniel’s face. He looked from her to where Almeric bad disappeared and back to her again. Then he took a step forward as if to speak and stopped. Finally the dawning horror in bls face took concrete form, and he spoke. "Thatr he groaned. “Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars for that! Say, how much do they charge for a real man over here anyway?” But she was unable to meet his eye. Turning quickly, with her cheeks flaming with shame and anger, she rushed Into the hotel and left him standing speechless on the spot (To be Continued.)

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Time. Table For Cooks. . The following time table for cooking meats and fish will prove handy for reference: Beef underdone, per pound, nine to ten minutes; mutton, leg, per po.und, ten to twelve minutes; mutton, stuffed shoulder, per pound, eighteen minutes; loin, veal, fifteen to eighteen minutes; sparerib, fifteen to twenty minutes; corned beef, twenty-five to thirty minutes; ham, after water begins to boil, fifteen to twenty minutes; baked chicken, three or four pounds, one to two hours; fish', long and thin, six to eight pounds, one hour; fish, thick, six to eight pounds, one and onehalf to two hours; fish, small, twentyfive to thirty minutes. The Test of Good Ham. The characteristics of good bacon resemble those of prime pork. The rind should be thin, the lean pink and tender and the fat firm, with a pinkish hue, due to salting. To test a ham run a steel skewer through the middle of the ham to the bone. If the skewer comes out clean and free from any unpleasant odor it Indicates that the ham is in good condition, but should the skewer be smeared and the odor unpleasant the ham should be rejected. Yellow streaks in ham or bacon indicate a more or less rancid condition. “Setting” Colors. Salt will “set” certain colors, while vinegar is better for others, and, again, when the material displays a combination of colors both the salt and the vinegar are necessary. Salt is good for pink and for blues. Vinegar should be used for greens and mauves. Water in which hay or bran has been boiled is excellent for the natural shades and for all pale tones. To Clean Black Silk. Black silk can be cleaned by means of hot vinegar or black coffee. When thoroughly cleaned it should be pressed on the wrong side. Be sure to use cloth between iron and silk. To remove the shine from a dark wool material sponge it with a solution of common washing blue and water and press it while still damp under a thin cloth. A Combination Table. The piece of furniture herewith shown is designed as a center table, but the receptacles under its top are so Ingeniously arranged that they offer commodious storage facilities for such household articles as sewing bas-

kets and the like and materials such as laces and embroideries that are being worked upon. When working at the table the sides are swung out, revealing lower shelves upon which the materials in use may be placed. Cantaloupe With Ice Cream. Scrub the rough surface of cantaloupes until thoroughly clean and pack In ice. When they are chilled through cut in half, remove the seeds and pack the centers with vanilla ice cream Put two or three whole marachino cherries on the top and serve on Individual plates with a paper doily under each and a nasturtium and leaf at the side. To Make Mint Vinegar. « Mlut vinegar may be made by putting mashed mint leaves Into a wide mouthed bottle. Do not pack. Pour In vinegar to cover, cork securely and let stand for two or three weeks. Pour off the vinegar into another bottle and keep corked until needed. This is a capital substitute for fresh mint when the latter cannot be obtained. Homemade Baking Powder. Sift together, five times over, two ounces of tartaric acid, one pound of cream of tartar, ten ounces of bicarbonate of soda, sixteen ounces of wheat flour or twelve ounces of rice flour. Keep in tight cans or bottles, reserving a small quantity In a quarter pound can for dally use, so that the bulk may retain Its strength. Ham Muffins. Two teaspoonfuls of baking powder sifted with one pint of flour; add one egg, well beaten, one cupful of sweet milk, one tablespoonful of sugar, pinch of salt. Stir In one cupful of finely chopped raw ham. with a little of the fat, and bake twenty minutes In a moderate oven in gem pans. Cabbage a la Cauliflower. Shave finely one small head of cabbage and cook in boiling water until tender. Then stir together one large tablespoonful of butter, two spoonfuls »f flour and stir Into cabbage with one cupful of sweet, rich milk. Cook a few minutes and serve. Cucumber Pickles. If a bone Is put In the jar with cucumber pickles they will keep crisp. And If the vinegar happens to be too strong it will eat the bone Instead of the nlcklea.
