His wealth indeed, became as much a legend in the town as I! had been in the Quartier. A large house. seven servants, several ex- pensive cars and, as Fosslck put ‘it. “nothing spared." People whose ‘names were world-famous spent weekends at Clleriton House bu‘. never more than one or two at a time-he disliked large parties.

Betty Somers w s one ol llis most devoted admirers-rather to he: mother's annoyance.

“My dear. you mustn't. ‘IBVE about a man li-ke that," Mrs. Somers pro- tested. “It isn't as ii he were a boy of your own age. He's old en- ough i0 be your lather."

“What. dues age matter? He's In- telligent! I can talk to him, llstcn to hlm. The ordinary boy bores me still. Ho's nothing whatever to say hut insists on Sﬂyilli! il- H's one topic is himself. Mr. Brerelorl never spcllks oi‘ himself at all,"

"Actually we know very little n- bont him." her father pointed out, looking up from his paper.

"It isn't natural for a young girl like you to be so taken up with a middle-aged man," her mother ud- ded. “He is a very great artist! And I think it absurd for you to object to my going to see his pictures. It's stuffy and old-fashioned and un- tiignillerl."

"You know whut your lather and I think ol it." her mother~ said firmly.

"Look llere, Daddy." his daughter said to him later on when they were alone. “Don't you think mother's being unreasonable?"

"I've thought so for a quarter ol a. century, my dear, but she has a curious habit ol being right. Al- ter nil, in spite ol your educatirzl, you have not had a great deal oi experience. He's u very attractive m-an. You're sure you're not play- ing with lire?"

"What do you mean. Daddy?’

"You're at a most impressionable age. Not, I suppose. that it. would matter if you did go and fall in lovc with him."

"Don't be ridiculous, Daddy." “Is it ridiculous? You can't count

on people as you can on chemicals. You've often told me so. remem- ber. And we've always tried to he frank with each other, Betty." She nodded: "I have a very great ‘ respect for him." she said.

"More than you have for any man of your own generation?"

"Far more. But he merely looks on me an a child."

"What did you expect him to do?" "Bur I'm not a child," she suirl quietly.

The ‘phone interrupted them "It's for you," her lather said hand- ing over the receiver.
