tell— "we would lack nothing” "I am sorry for your sake madam that I am not As it la we shall have to do our best with the limited re sources at hand” Conversation ran on desultorily this way for a

Haldane followed by the two other men came In from ‘he library “Mr Gormly” began Haldane sen ior "I am unable to get anybody over the telephone" "I am sorry to hear that I suppose that the wires are

met outside presently by Mrs Bullen “Mr Gormly and I will watch your game" said Eleanor ‘By the way Eleanor may I ask where you met Mr Gormly?" queried her father “He la very much Interested In our social settlement work Many of his employees live In the vicinity of the new settlement bouse we are building and I have had occasion to consult him at his office a great many times" ‘Ah" said the

no special Interest in the manifested play and at Gormly’g suggestion she left the hall and went with him into the Inviting little library through the broad open doors that gave access tp from the hall Another Are was burning there He drew a low chair before It in which she sat down He himself stood with his arm resting on the mantel looking down on her The two were In plain sight from the bridge table but as they talked In low tones their conversation was In audible In the hall Haldane glanced curiously and uneasily at them from time to time but finally becoming absorbed In his game paid them no further notice conversation with that func tlonary threw some little cheer over the situation Gormly’s own wardrobe which had been sent down would amply supply the men with whatever they needed and the butler Imparted the cheering news that the was a marled man with lodgekeeper two grown daughters and he had no doubt that such things as the women required might be secured from them

Uo you keep a calendar of my visits to your office?” "I have a marvelous memory for details which I wish to remember” said the man "And I am so much Interested In— the settlement house that — How does It progress by the way?” he continued gravely as If his recollection of connected with her was anything mere matter of course "Oh beautifully You see there nothing to consult you about now It Is all In the architect’s and bul’ders1 hands You have been so helpful to me I really don’t know what I should have done without you” “And you have of course respected No one knows anymy confidence? thing about my connection with the enterprise?” "No one at all” “Not even your father?” "Certainly not I never discuss bus! ness wHh my father nor does he discuss business with me" "And yet" said Gormly quickly "I should think he might discuss with you to advantage" “What do you mean?” asked the girl “I am a business man Miss Haldane to accustomed with men and’ women In a business way and muth depends uron my ability to estimate the capacity bf those with whom I work I have not often seen a woman or even a man with a better head for business than you hare” It was the deftest thing the man cou'd have said to her Women she knew were not naturally businesslike and to have such qualities attributed to her was the subtlest kind of flattery It came too from a man who was a power In the business world and was therefore the more valuable It Is very good of you to say that” said the girl smiling pleasantly In “and 1 am more proud of It First State BANK: oua meaning "Mr Gormly" ahe exclaimed Impetuously "why don’t you do something worth while?” Gormly smiled "My dear young lady" be answered — really he was old enough to be her father ha thpught half sadly as he noted his form of speech — "I have the largest I have agents la store In the world every civilized country and many that are uncivilized I own and control fleet of steamers I have my private woolen mills and silk mills and factories I suppose there are ten thou sand people In my employ I can give you a check for another million for your settlement work as often as you wish It and —” "These are all very well Mr Gorm ly” said the girl gravely "They spell tremendous material success they show your ability and acumen In the eyes of the world they count for 8 great deal indeed I find lately thal they are counting more and more but they don’t really amount to anything after all What is money what are power and Influence? My father for Instance was born with more than he could possibly spend more than he to what knew do with Inherited from thrifty ancestors who bad the wit to buy land when It could be bought foi a song He has Influence power What does It amount to? I want him to do something really to do some thing in the world for the good ol mankind I am preaching to you just as I preach to him” "Do you look upon me as you would a father?” asked Gormly quickly Certainly "Why no not exactly not" answered the girl ”1 am you know" “No I didn’t know but what If you are? You are still a young man My father Is and I don’t call him old ” “Wonderful consideration from twen said Gormly smiling “Well” resumed the girl “I war saying that you ought to do something In life You have made yourself You started with little or nothing If I may believe the newspaper accounts ol you” “Have you been reading them?"
