March that Ken and Trenchard and I got to talking it over. We had heard a rumor that Grare and her mother were going to Europe, and we knew that meant one of two things either Van would be tecklcss and get his quietus right away or else, on some cooked up excuse or other ho would follow them. Of course. said Ken, as he gave a vicious pull at his cigar, there's no use kicking against the pricks. Van has gut to swing some day, and maybe the sooner it's over the better.' Of course. Trench admitted. Van's got to take his medicine, thats all tight, hut hang It! he's such a no Mi of a good fellow and it'll break wish somehim nil up uml Lord! body would chloroform him." "Fellows," slid Ken. "can't we do Koni'dliing for Van to break his fall? Hold a blaiii'it fur him or something." I told Ken lie win a fool, but that no longer makes the imprt ssion on him Dwight Van Wert was not deformed In any way, and yet he was fearfully and wonderfully made there was nn denying that. His luxuriant eroi) of flame-hur- d hair took un quite without indeed culture, despite all culture, the contour of a prize chrysanthemum, from an archipelago ol freckles resembling a sepia map 'it His nose rose like the Oceanica. tower of Lebanon that looked h toward Damascus.

All lt or which description Is grossly d, of course, but in no way misleading, for found out long ago that in portraying Van it was absolutely necessary to exaggerate in order to make one realize now far from beautiful he waa. From the day he entered school he was the legitimate prey of tease and bully. I suppose it waa hard on Van at first, for at home his mother had not called him Ilrlcktop nor his father taunted him with the upward tilt of his nose, but he took It all with stoical heroism, thrashed whom lo could, diverted whom he could, helped some with their lessons and bribed others by judicious outlay of his spending money until, at graduation, he vu as popular as any fellow in the class, howbeit as far from handsome as when a little tad of six. At rollege be came out at the head of his class. He took a year In after that ; then lie came home, went In with his father and fell in love with (!race Serciui. Of course, he fell in love with fira,,e. Grace had a nose Phidias could not have bettered, a complexion like the blending of the wild rose and the a figure that was the tailor-mad- e and the apoof a glory theosis of u ball gown, hair she could let fall in lustrous billows to her feet, eyes so big and brown and deep it made you dizzy to look into them. It was simply heartbreaking to contemplate, and all the mure so when the victim was a personal friend. Van never took me into his confidence, but 1 suspect Grace had figured in his plans ever since his first day at school, when she had asked to have her nest changed "liecsiiRp It made her feel so bad to look at that little Van Wert boy. Anyway. Ui had always done things for her; written to her. sent her presents, and now he went at It deliberately to pay her every courteous attention affection could suggest or money furnish means for. If you have ever done anything in vivisection, you remember how you felt the first time you saw a live animal cut to pieces. It Is not a pleasant sensation, but with some of us it came to be almost chronic while we watched Vans courtship drag out its sickening length. He was such a grad fellow and she such a nice girl. To pour his soul out In her service and yet never bore her secme.l to have become the purpose of let b.tn know the truth and his life; all she could seemed to him spare yet be hers. , Grace and her mother spent the summer at the lakes, and so did Van. In the latter part of November she went Into the city on her aunt's invitation, and Immediately Van's business took full-blow- l'uh.
