"May I Just kindly ask you to look
out in the front yard? I want you to
look at Genesis."
"I'm familiar with his uppearance,"
6ald Mrs. Baxter. "Why In the world
do you mind Ills cutting the grass ?"
William groaned. "Do you honestly
want guests coming to this house to
see that awful old darky out there
and know that he's the kind of serv
ants we employ? Ye gods:-'
"Why. Genesis Is Just a neighbor
hood outdoor darky, Willie. He works
for half a „ dozen families besides
us."
"Yes." he cried, "but a lady that
didn't live here wouldn't know that!
Ye gods! What do you suppose she
would think? You know what he's
got on!"
"It's a sort of sleeveless Jersey he
wears, Willie, 1 think."
"No, you don't think that!" he cried,
with grout bitterness. "You know It's
not a jersey! You know perfectly well
what It Is, and yet you expect to keep
him out there when—when one of the
—one of the nobl—when my friends
arrive! And they'll think that's our
dog out there, won't they? When In
telligent people come to a house and
see a dog sitting out in front they
think it's the family in the house's
dog, don't they?"
William paced the room. "Ye gods!
What do you think Mls9 Pratt will
think of the people of this town when
she's Invited to meet a few of my
friends and the first thing she sees is
a nigger in his undershirt? What'll
she think when she rinds that child's
eateu up half the food, and the people
have to explain that the dog In the
front yard belongs to the darky?
"And prob'ly she wouldn't believe It
Anybody'd say they didn't own a dog
like that! And that's what you want
her to see before she even gets Inside
the house! Instead of a regular gar
dener In livery like we ought to have
and a bulldog or a good Airedale or 8
foxhound or something, the first things
you want intelligent people from out
of town to see are that awful old darky
and his mongrel scratchin' fleas and
like as not lettin' 'em get on ether
people!"
"Willie!"
Mrs. Baxter managed to obtain his
attention. "If you'll go and brush
your hair I'll send Genesis and Clema
tis away for the rest of the afternoon.
And then if you'll sit down quietly

"'Quietly!'" he eciioed. "I'm the
only one that is quiet around here!"
"There, there," she said soothingly.
"Go and brush your hair, and change
your collar. Willie. Ifs all wilted. Ill
send Genesis away."
"Collar," he muttered.
"Change it!" said Mrs. Baxter, rais
ing her voice. "Ifa wilted!"
He departed in a dazed manner. 1

that some one bad made allusions to
his collar and hair, whereupon he
sprang to the stairs, mounted two at
a time, rushed into his own room and
confronted his streaked image la the
mirror.
^ CHAPTER VIII.
Ai H«m» to His Friends.
AFTER ablutions William found
his wet hair plastic and easily
obtained the long, even sweep
backward from the brow, lack
ing which no male person, unless bald,
fulfilled his definition of a man of the
world. But there ensued a period of
rehemence and activity caused by a
bent collar button. The day was warm,
and moisture bedewed him afresh. Be
lated victory no sooner arrived than he
perceived a fatal dimpling of the new
collar and was forced to exchange it
for a successor.
Voices from below, making polite
laughter, warned him t hut already
some of the bidden party had arrived,
and as be completed the fastening of
his third consecutive collar an ecstasy
of sound reached him through the open
window—and then, oh, then he began
t" tremble. It was the voice of Miss 1
Pratt no less!
He stopped for one heartstruck look
from his casement. All In fluffy white
and heliotrope she was, a blond rap
ture floating over the sidewalk toward
William's front gate. Her little white
cottony dog, with a heliotrope ribbon
round his neck, bobbed his head over
her cuddling arm. A heliotrope par
asol shielded her lnflnltesimally from
the amorous Bun. Poor William!
Two youths entirely in William'*
condition of heart accompanied the
glamorous girl, while Miss Parcher
appeared dimly upon the outskirts of
the group, the well known penalty for
hostesses who entertain such radiance.
Probably It serves them right Miss
Pratt's voice came clearly as the chim
ing of tiny bells, for she spoke whim
sically to her little dog in that tinkling
childlike fashinn which was part of
the spell she cast.
"Darlin' Kloplt," she said, "wake up!
Oo tummin" to tea potty wlz all de
drowed ups. P'eshus Floplt wake up!'1
His heart melting within him, Wil
liam turned from the angelic sounds
of the window. He rau opt of the
room and plunged down the front
stairs. And the next moment the
William Was Seated Upon th# Proa
tratf "Battle of Gettysburg."
crash of breaking glass and the loud
thump-bump of a heavily falling hu
man body resounded.
Mrs. Baxter, alarmed, excused her
self from the tea table, round which
were gathered four or five young peo
ple, and hastened to the front ball, fol
lowed by Jane. Through the open door
were seen Miss JJratt, Miss Parcher.
Mr. Johnnie Watson and Mr. Joe Bul
litt coming up the walk, laughing and
unaware of the catastrophe which had
occurred. And a little distance from
the foot of the stairs Willlatu was seat
ed upon the prostrate "Battle of Get
tysburg"
"It slid," he said hoarsely. "I car
ried it upstairs with me"—he bellered
this—"and somebody brought it down
and left it lying flat on the floor by
the bottom step on purpose to trip me.
I stepped on it, and it slid."
"Get up, Willie." Mrs. Baxter urged,
and then she beheld ruins other than
the wrecked engraving. She stifled a
cry. "Willie, did the glass cut you?"
He felt himself. "No'm."
"It did your trousers. You'll have
to change them. Hurry!"
Some of William's normal faculties
were restored to him by one hasty
glance at the back of his left leg,
which had a dismantled appearance.
A long blue strip of cloth hung there,
with white showing underneath.
"Hurry!" said Mrs. Baxter. And,
hastily gathering some fragments of
glass, she dropped them upon the en
graving, pushed it out of the way and
went forward to greet Miss Pratt and
her attendants.
Upward William sped unseen and
came to a breathless halt at the top
of the stairs.

h<l heard the ravishing voice escUtan.
"Oh, tootums lokla blue sash!"
' It cost a dollur and eighty-nine
cents," said Jane. "Willie sat on th«
cakes."
"Oh, no. he didn't!" Mrs. Baxter
laughed. "He didn't quite!"
"He had to go upstairs," said Jane.
And as the stricken listener abore
smote his forehead she added placidly
He tore a hole In his elo'es."
She seemed about to furnish details,
her mood being communicative, bat
Mrs. Baxter led the way into the "lin
ing room." The hall was vacated, and
only the murmur of voices and laneh
ter reached William.
William leaned upon the banister
railing and thought thoughts about
Jane. For several Ion?:, seething mo
ments he thought of her exclusively
Then, spurred by the loud laughter of
rivals and the agony of knowing that
even in "his own house they were mo
nopolizing the atteutlun or one of the
noblest, he hastened into his own room
and took account of hin reverses.
Standing with his back to the mirror
he obtained over his shoulder a view
of his trousers which caused him to
break out In a fresh perspiration.
Again he wiped his forehead with the
handkerchief, and the result was in
stantly visible In the mirror.
William began a feverish examina
tion of the garments bunging In a
clothes closet. There were two pairs
of flannel trousers which would prob
ably again be white and possible when
cleaned and pressed. Beside them hung
his last year's summer suit of light
gray.
FeverlsMy he brought it forth, threw
off his coat and then, deflected by an
other glanee at the mirror, began to
change his collar again. To quicken
the process he decided to straighten
the bent collar button. Using a shoe
horn as a lever, he succeeded In bring
ing the little cap or bead of the button
into Its proper plane, but his final
effort dislodged the cap from the rod
between it and the base, and It flew
off into space.
Here wan a calamity. Few things
are more useless than a decapitated
collar button, and William had no oth
er. He had made sure that It was his
last before he put It on that day; also
he had ascertained that there was I
none in, on or about his father's dress
ing table. Finally, In the possession I
of neither William nor his father was ;
there a shirt with an indigenous collar, j
At first he ®d not realize the extent \
of his misfortune. Of course William
searched bis dressing table and hla fa- !
ther s, although he had been thorough- |
ly over both once before thut day. '
Next he went through most of his
mother's and Jane's accessories to the
toilet, through trinket boxes, glove
hairpin boxes, handkerchief
cases, even through sewing basket*.
Utterly be convinced himself that la
dies no» ' ie no collar buttons^ but
a' n ' them up and put them
•! own belongings. Jane,
arr - 11'a locked door upon an
erraL ,-as bidden by a thick, unnat
ural ,j|ce to depart.
"Mamma says, 'WM ia mercy's
name la the matter*'" Jane called.
•She whisjieivd tu me. 'Go an' see
what ta mercy's name is the matter
With WiUle, an' if the glass cut him,
(ifter all, en' why don't he come down '
An' why dou't you, Willie? We're all
ofivlu' the nicest lime!"
"You gway!" said the strange voice
within tht! room. "G'way!"
"Well, did the glass cut you?"
"No! Keep quiet. G'way!"
"Well, are you ever cowWdown to
your party?"
"Yea, I am. O'wajT
Jane obeyed, and William somehow
completed too task, upon -which he was
eu^ged- Genius had burst forth from
frls despair. Necessity had become a
pother again, and William's collar was
In place. U was tied there. Under
bis necktie wa« a piece <-f string.
He bad lost count of time, but he
was frantically aware of Its passage.
Agouy was In the thought of so many
rich momenta frittered away upstairs
while Joe Bullitt and Johnnie Watson
made hay below. And there was an
other spur to haste in his fear that
the behavior of Mrs. Baxter might not
be all that the guest of honor would
naturally expect of William's mother.
As for Jane, his mind filled with dread.
Shivers passed over him at intervals.
It was a dismal thing to appear at a
party, and that his own. In last sum
mer's suit, but wlieti he had hastily
put It on and faced the mirror he felt
a little better—for three or four sec
onds. Then he turned to see how the
back of It looked—and collapsed In a
chair, momilncr.
