r.y th" time dinner was over we had
found a pleasant ngreciuwit In idea* '
and taste. I was in mi ecstacy. full -if

dent 111:111. unaccustomed to women,
when ln> dares tn think for the tirst
time that he has been Interesting to a (
younc and beautiful girl. It Is one of
the Elyslan emotions. We prow old I
and bald, and women are adventures
dismissed from our lives. We know
we do not Interest them. We do not j
think of Interesting them. We become
| panttilooned lay-figures too scared of
j scandal or too confirmed In propriety
: to break out of tlie narrowed way.
I There Is an age which comes to a man,
. a condition in which he finds himself,
, to wh'ch he submits if he have any
morals, arid when It comes and when
he submits, the gates nre closed upon
fanciful, romantic adventures. If he 1
has been fortunate, he Is content. He
sits nt the west window, and his pros
pect is the sunset. He no longer asks j
the great question of youth: "Could I
make that cirl like me?"
To inc. after tint first dinner with (
Mrs. Slilnc.v nml her daughter, the |
ecstacy was a romantic folly. Isobel i
had captured me, my sons?, my ra- i
tlonnlitv, my Judgment, my mind, fancy
and emotions. Beamy and youth alone
are enough to do this for an imagina- |
tlve young man, and when attractive i
aspects of character .ire back of beauty j
and youth, and when the young man ;
! looks forward to a probability of that ;
j conquering circumstance, propinquity. j
' he may be excused If his feet lightly :
I touch the floor. I was captured and ;
| knew It after that tirst dinner—knew i
i It. and both loved and dreaded It. 1
i was about to make a fool of myself
: an>l be at once a happy and a miser- ■
( nMe fool.
In the exulted state of egoistic emo
tions which I have outlined. 1 went to
Mr. Sidney's r> mi after dinner and sat
with him for two hours. I began to
appreciate how charmingly his life was
decorated. A really rare subtlety of ;
art was used to bring a warm color l
into this indomitable but feeble man's |
I winter of life. 1 did not fully appro- i
j ciate until later.what thought and carc !
i lay behind the unstudied comforts and j
I sensations Hartley honsc offered.
Mr. Sidney was white haired an1* !

i ganic evolution Is but a pin prick.
Youth is startled by such conceptions
of life, but I had an interesting even
ing.
Before I said good nieht. .Ted came
In with two bottles of wine. He stood
and looked at me unpleasantly. I
' arose t:; £ .• «»'J Mr. Sidney said:
"I think we shall like each other.
At lonst, I hope you will be comfort
able, even happy. And don't bb dis
tressed about the wine. I don't drink
it m.v more. .Ted drinks It, and I en
Joy seeing liim do It."
A whippoonvlll was retternnt in the
woods nt night, an<l Its call came from
dark recesses odorous and myste
riously \ellcd. Having said pood night
to Mi-. Sidney, 1 had gone to my room
with a book from the library. The
night was fresh, sweet-smelling and
cool. I had -read for several hours
when X heard the cut bolt In my door
thrown against the piece of metal
which had been left In the socket.
There was 110 transom above the
door, and evidently the threshold kept
light from appearing beneath It. I had
boon reading, as I said, for three hours
at least, and whoever tried to bolt me
in had good reason to think I was
asleep.
I knew who the person 'Vas. It was
Jed. Knowing 1 was not locked in,
I was undisturbed and continued null
ing.
Shortly afterward I heard n woman's
volco In expostulation far down the
hall. It arose abruptly to a sharp cry.
and I had to lay asidetnv book and
expose tin; fact that my door was not
locked, a thing I hail not wanted to
do until the secret of its being locked
cotild be discovered by revealing that
It was not.
I hurried out and down the hall.
Jed had a woman by Hie wrist. Hoth
of them saw me coming. She released
herself from his relaxing grip by a
quick Jerk and rau. He stood until I
came up.
"What Is the matter?" I anted.
"What makes you think anything. Is
the matter?" he nsked.
"Don't take me for a fool," I said.
"That was >Irs. Sidney who screamed.
You were holding her. It seems to
uie It needs an explanation."
"Who are you that you need nn ex
planation?" said Jed. •
"You nre drunk again."
"I know I am. If that's satisfactory
to my employer, why should It bother
yon?"
••1 doubt Hint It K s :!isinctory to
your anplAjrtr that yon should be mak
ing his wife scream nt midnight. Look
here: you're a servant In this house.
Whnt hnve you to say for yourself? I'm
going to have sin explanation of this."
Jed h:i<l l» t'ti surly nnd angry, t»ut
now ho grinned.
"All right." he sabl, "l«ut If you want
to lie decent ahout It, r.slt Mrs. Sidney
tir-i whet hi r sho wants your help and
your nskinji. That's my advice, younc
follow. And while we're asking, how
did yu;] g •! out of your room? You're
not supposed to ho out. Wo doa't want
people In this house running around
the halls at this time of night."
"1 opened the door and came out.
Why shouldn't I come out. I heard a
scream ui;'l came."
lie looked at me ns If lie were doubt
ing himself. ( tldnk lie was uncertain
whether he had thrown the bolt or not.
It transpired later that I was right,
hut for the time I was worried.
When 1 went hack to my room, I was
restless, ns one naturally would he, n
stranger In so strange n house. It was
impossible t<> sleep and difficult to
rend. I sat by the window and (liter
natety dozed and read until day broke
nnd the wood thrush began to sing.
Then, quieted. I went to bed aud had
two hours' sleep.
I thought It wise to speak to Mrs.
Sidney about the Incident of the night.
She had seen mo, she knew I had talked
to Jed, she might or might not know
that I recognized her. I might add to
her perplexities by speaking to her,
hut I might i ' tain an insight Into mat
ters which would enable me to net
discreetly and usefully, if I remained
ignorant of motives prevail!' lu the
