The story is AAAlAAAAiAlAAAAAAAAAAAAAiAAAiAAAAAAAAAliiAAii guess that's why we're both puzzled." The bis lounging room of the club, on the firsf floor Fifth avenue side, was almost empty when they entered t. The lawyer drew two big chairs near the open fire, rang the bell and ordered cigars.

After the cigars were lighted and the fragrant clouds of smoke were rising he reopened the conversation. And now, in an easy, diplomatic way. he'took his turn at questioning. Meanwhile the room bad been filling up. Around each of the big windows overlooking the avenue were gathered groups of men, young and old, smoking, chatting and gazing idly out.

Captain Elisha regarded them curiously. "This ain't a holiday, is it?" he asked ufter awhile. "No. Why?" "I was just wondering If all those fellers hadn't any work to do, that's all." "Who that crowd?" The lawyer laughed. "Oh, they're doing their reg, ular stunt You'll And most of them nn "3 eODY'S i til TONIGHT weren't we? Do sit down." "I'm afraid I can't wait, Miss War ren.

I dropped in to see your uncle, at bis. invitation, and, as a maiter of fact. I didn't know" "To see our uncle?" interrupted Stephen in amazement "Who?" "Your uncle. Captain Warren here," explained Pearson, surprised in bis turn. "He and I made each other's acquaintance yesterday, and he asked me to calL "You--you called to see repeated Stephen.

"WThy, what in the world" "I took the liberty of askln' him, Caroline," observed Captain Elisha quietly, ignoring the last speaker. "I didn't know jou knew him, I used to sail along with his uncle, so he seemed almost like own folks." "Oh!" Caroline's manner changed. "I presume It was a business call." she said slowly. "I beg pardon for interrupting. We had not seen you since father's death, Mr.

Pearson, and I as-umed had called up0nmy brother and me. Excuse me. Mrs. Dunn, we will go into the drawing room." She led the way toward the apartment. Captain Elisha was about to speak.

Pearson, however, explained for him. "Miss Warren," he said, "if by a business call you mean one in the interest of the Planet, I assure you that you are mistaken. ar.i no lornT connected with any paper. I mot lira in Warren tinder rather unusual circumstances. We discovered that we hud mutual friends anil niuiua! Interests.

Good evenin.tr." He bowed and stepped toward the hall. Captain Klisha laid hand on his arm and detained him. "Just a minute," he said. "Curoline, 1 want you and Steve to know that what Mr. Pearson says Is exactly true.

I ain't the kind to talk to the newspapers about the private affairs of myre-lutlons, and any Judge of character Mr. Pearson, knowln' yon as It seems he does, wouldn't be the kind to listen. That's all. Now, Jim, if you must go." "Mr. Pearson," she said Impulsively, "again I ask your pardon.

I should have known. I am very sorry I spoke as I did. Will you forgive me?" Pearson colored. His embarrass-rhent was more evident than before. "There, is no occasion for apology, Miss Warren," he said.

"I don't wonder you thought I had come In my former capacity as reporter." "Yesj you do. You must have wondered. I am very glad you called to see my guardian, and I hope you will continue to do Father used to speak so highly of you, and I'm sure he valued your friendship. Stephen and I wish to consider his friends ours," Pearson's reply was brief. "Thank you, Miss Warren," he said, "You are very kind.

Good evening." In the hall as they waited for the elevator Captain Elisha, happier than at, any time since his arrival in New Ytvk, clapped his friend on the shoulder. "Jim," he said, "I was beginnln' to doubt my judgment of things" and folks. Now 1 feel better. That niece of mine has got the right Btuff in her. After that Invitation you will come and see us once In awhile.

"There was such a rumor. Probably nothing in it.

"How 7 ffyer do. Dunn?" "Hello, Sylvester," the young man hailed carelessly. "That was a peach. You should have seen her. What? Why, it's the admiral!" "How d'ye do, Mr.

DURING the next day Caroline Warren and her brother saw little of their uncle. Not that they complained of this or sought his society. The policy of avoidance and what Stephen called "freezing out" had begun, and the young people kept to themselves as-much as' possible. At breakfast Caroline was coldly polite and her brother cold, although his politeness was ut overdone. However, Captain Elisha did not seem to notice.

In the evening he received a call from Pearson. MVhen Pearson heard that A. Rodgers Warren was a brother of his host he expressed great surprise, and his astonishment was even greater when hfi Jivaamade.aware that he jwag In the apartments of Miss Caroline Warren.
