CHAPTER XI. The Chichesters. ALARIC sat on the edge of her chair and put his arm around her shoulder and tried to comfort her. “Don’t you worry, mater,” he said. “Don’t worry. I’ll go down and tell ’em wliat 1 think of ’em—exactly what I think of ’em. They can’t play the fool with me. I should think not, indeed. Listen, mater. You’ve got a son, thank God, and one no bank can take any liberties with. What we put in there we’ve got to have out. That’s all I can say. We’ve simply got to have it out. There! I’ve said it” Alarie rose and, drawing himself up to his full five feet six inches of manhood, glared malignantly at some imaginary bank officials. His whole nature was roused. The future of the family depended on him. They would not depend in vain. lie looked at Ethel, who was trying to make the best of the business by smiling agreeably on them both. “It's bankrupt!” wailed Mrs. ChiChester. “Failed!” suggested Ethel cheerfully. “We’re beggars.”.continued the mother. “I must live on charity for the rest of my life, the guest of relations I’ve hated the sight of and who have hated me. It’s dreadful—dreadful!” All Alaric’s first glow of manly enthusiasm began to cool. “Don’t you think we’ll get anything?” By accident he turned to Ethel. She smiled meaninglessly and said for the first time with any real note of conviction: “Nothing!” Alarie sat down gloomily beside his mother. “I always thought bank directors were blighters. Good heavens, what a mess!” He looked the picture of misery. “What’s to become of Ethel, mater?” “Whoever shelters me must shelter Ethel as well,” replied the mother sadly. “But it’s hard—at my age—to be — sheltered.” Alarie looked at Ethel, and a feeling of pity came Over him. It was distinctly to his credit since his own wrongs occupied most of his attention. But, after all, he could buffet the world and wring a living out of it All he had to do was to make up his mind which walk in life to choose. He was fortunate. But Ethel, reared from infancy in the environment of independence—it would come very hard and bitter on her. Alarie just touched Ethel’s hand, and with as much feeling as he could master he said: “Shocking, tough, old girl.” Ethel shook her head almost determinedly and said somewhat enigmatically and for her heatedly: “No!” “No?” asked Alarie. “No—what?” ’ “Charity 1” said Ethel. “Cold blooded words,” and Alarie shuddered. “What will you do, Ethel?” “Work.” “At what?” “Teach.” “Teach? Who in the wide world can you teach?” “Children.” Alarie laughed mirthlessly. “Oh, come, that's rich! Eh, mater? Fancy Ethel teaching grubby little brats their ABC’sI Tush!” 1 “Must!” said Ethel, quite unmoved. “A Chichester teach?” said Alarie, in disgust. “Settled!” from Ethel, and she swept her fingers slowly across the piano. “Very well,” said Alarie determinedly, “I’ll work too.” Mrs. Chichester looked up pleadingly. Alarie went on: “i’ll put my hand to the plow. The more I _thlnk of it the

keener lam to ljegin. From today I'll be a workingman." At this Ethel laughed a queer, little, odd, supercilious note, summed up in a single word, “Ha!” There was nothing mirthful in it. There was no reproach in it It was just an expression of her honest feeling at the bare suggestion of her brother working. Alarie turned quickly to her. “And may I ask why that ‘Hal’ Why, I ask you? There’s nothing I couldn’t do if I were really put to it —not a single thing. Is there, mater?” His mother looked up proudly at him. “I know that, dear. But it’s dreadful to think of you—working.” “Not at all," said Alarie. “I’m just frogling all over at the thought of it. The only reason I haven’t so far is because I’ve never had to. But now that I have I’ll just buckle on my armor, so to speak, and astonish you aIL" Again came that deadly, cold unsympathetic “Ha!” from Ethel. “Please don’t laugh in that cheerless way, Ethel. It goes all down my spine. Jerry’s always telling me I ought to do something—that the world is for the worker—and all that He’s right, and I’m going to show him.’’ He suddenly picked up the paper and look*

ed at the date. “Whai’a today—the Ist? Yes, so it is—June the Ist. Jerry’s coming today—all his family too. They’ve taken ‘Noel’s Folly,’ on the hilL He’s sure to look in here. Couldn’t be better. He’s the cove to turn to in a case like this.” Jarvis, a white haired, dignified butler, who had served the family man and boy, came in at this juncture with a visiting card on a salver. Alaric picked it up and glanced at it He gave an expression of disgust and flung the card back on the salver. “Christian Brent” For the first time Ethel showed more thari a passing gleam of interrst She stopped strumming the piano »nd stood up, very erect and very still. Mrs. Chichester rose too. "I can’t see any one,” she said Imperatively. “Nor I,” added Alaric. “I’m all strong up.” He turned to Jarvis. “Tell Mr. Brent we’re very sorry, but”— “I’ll see him," interrupted Ethel, almost animatedly. “Bring Mr. Brent here, Jarvis." As Jarvis went in search of Mr. Brent Mrs. Chichester went up the great stairs. “My head Is throbbing. IH go to my room.” “Don’t you worry, mater,” consoled Alaric. “Leave everything to me. I’ll thrash the whole thing out” As Mrs. Chichester disappeared Alaric turned to his calm sister, who, strangely enough, was showing some signs of life and interest “Really going to teach?” “Yes.” “Right! I'll find something, too—very likely a doctor v We’ll pull through somehow.” Ethel made a motion toward the door as though to stop any further conversation. “Mr. Brent’s coming,” she said, al-

most Impatiently. Alaric started for the window leading Into the garden. “Jolly good of you to let him bore you. 1 hate the sight of the beggar myself.. Always looks to me like the first conspirator at a play.” The door opened, and Jarvis entered and ushered in “Mr. Brent” Alarie hurried into the garden. A few words of description of Christian Brent might be of interest since he represents a type that society always has with it They begin by deceiving others; they end by deceiving themselves. Christian Brent was a dark, tense, eager, scholarly looking man of twen-ty-eight years of age. Ills career as a diplomatist was halted at Its outset by an early marriage with the only daughter of a prosperous manufacturer. Brent was moderately Independent lu his own right, but the addition of his wife’s dowry seemed to destroy all ambition Tie no longer found interest in carrying messages to the various legations or embassies of Europe or in filling a routine position as some one’s secretary. From being an Intensely eager man of affairs he drifted Into a social lounger—the lapdog of the drawing room—where the close breath of some rare erfume meant more than the clash of interests and the conquest of a woman greater than that of a nation. Just at this period Ethel Chichester was the especial object of his adoration. Her beauty appealed to him. Her absolute indifference to him stung him as a lash. It seamed to belittle his powers of attraction. Consequently he redoubled his efforts. Ethel showed neither like nor dislike —Just a form of toleration. Brent accepted this, as a dog a crumb, in the hope of something more substantial to follow. He had come that morning with a fixed resolve. His manner was determined. His voice wooed as a caress. He went tenderly to Ethel the moment the door closed on Jarvis. “How are you?” he asked, and there was a note of subdued passion In his tone. . ; -; “Fair,” replied Ethel without even looking at him. “Where is your mother?” suggesting that much depended on the answer. “Lying down,” answered Ethel truth fully and without any feeling. “And Alaric?” “In the garden.” “Then we have a moment nr twoalone?” .Brent put a world of meaning into the suggestion. “Very likely,” said Ethel, picking up a score of “Boheme” and looking at It as If she saw it for the first time, all the while watching him through her half closed eyes. Brentwent to her. “Glad to see me?” he asked. “Why not?” “l am glad to see you”—be bent over her—“more than glad.” “Really r He sat beside her. “Ethel,” he whispered intensely, “I am at the crossroads." “Oh!” commenced Ethel, without any interest “It came last night” “Did it?” "This Is the end—between Sibyl and myself.” “Is it?” “Yes—the end. It’s been horrible from the first—horrible. There’s not a word of mine—not an action—she doesn’t misunderstand.” ■ r■ : “How boring!” said Ethel blandly. “She would see barm even in this!” “Why?” “She’d think I was here to—to”— Ho stopped. “What?” Innocently Inquired Ethel. “Make love to you.” And he looked earnestly into her eyes. She met his look quite frankly and astonished him with the question. “Well, aren’t you?” He rose anxiously. “Ethel!" “Don’t yon always?” persisted Ethel “Has it seemed like that to you?” “Yes,” she answered candidly; “by Insinuation, never straightforwardly.” “Has it offended you?” “Then you admit it?” “Oh,” he cried passionately, “I wish I had the right to—to”— Again he wavered. “Yes?” And Ethel looked straight at him. —“make love to yon straightforwardly.” He felt the supreme moment had Almost arrived. Now, he thought, he would be rewarded for the long waiting—the endless siege to this marvelous woman who concealed her real nature beneath that marble casing of an assumed indifference. He waited eagerly for her answer. When it came It shocked him. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Cancers and Burns.

Dr. William J. Mayo, at Baltimore the other day, said certain things about -that dread disease cancer which all of us may well consider. Cancer on the surface of the body is not increasing, but internal cances, especially cancer of the stomach, certainly is. Cancer on the surface, where it can be observed, never begins cancer, but results from other sores or breaks in the skin or tissues. Especially does there seem to be a close relation between burns and cancer. Cancer of the lips is not as common since clay pipes went out of style, but when it does occur It usually results from heat applied to the lips in smoking. Dr. Mayo points to the fact that locomotive engineers often have cancer of the leg from the heat of the \ •<1 ' b n ~i— hi mi - —i __ ■—••*••*

furnace, and that in other occupations cancer is most common where heat is applied-to the body. “I cannot get it out or my head,' said he, “that the cause of much cancer of the stomach is the drinking of hot drinks.” Many people drink fluids too hot to be held in the mouth. The stomach cannot get rid of such scalding drinks and must suffer actual burns. There is no higher authority in the world than Dr. Mayo, and we may well give heed to his words. —Farm and Fireside.
