seasons are undergoing some kind of
change has led Professor Ignazio Galli
to examine the weather records of the
entire eighteenth century.
The investigations of Professor Galli
show fifty-one winters that lasted well
into spring, thirty-one warm winters,
thirteen unusually early winters,
twelve mild winters followed by cold
springs, eleven mild winters followed
by mild springs, eleven cold autumns,
eight very warm springs, eight sum-
mers with frosts and fe very warm
autumns. There was one Instance «f
six consecutive warm seasons. More
than three-quarters of the periods of
unusual weather occurred between the
middle of autumn and the end of
spring. Many times during the eight-
eenth century the same apparent anom-
alies recurred at the same seasons in
several successive years. In every case
the seasons regained their normal char-
• acteristlca.
j There bave always been persons who
imagined that the seasons were becom-
ing warmer or colder than before.
There Is. however, small foundation
for such beliefs. The world has In-
deed experienced many cold summers
and many warm winters, but such sea-
eream is unusually line today.”
She eyed me with a severity to which
1 was not accustomed. and I acquiesced
without parley In her suggestion. Be
tore leaving me she placed on my ta
ble the latest minor poet in green and
gold.
it was nearly 3 o’clock, and I was
alone In the Aeolanda. The attending
deities in their snowy gowns bad van-
ished behind tbe screen at the rear of
the room. Tbe food and drink with
which 1 had been promptly served
proved excellent Even the minor poet
in green and gold bad held my atten-
tion. though Imitations of Coventry
Patmore's odes bore me as s rule.
Near the street half concealed behind
a mosquelike grill, sat the cashier,
reading. A bundle of joss sticks in a
green jar beside this young woman
sent a tbiu smoke Into tbe air. Her
bead was bent above her book tn quiet
attention. Tbe light from an electric
lamp made a glow of her golden hair.
She was an incident of tbe general
picture, a pa# of a scene that contain-
ed do jarring note. A man who could
devise. Id tbe heart of tbe great city,
a place so Instinct with repose so lull-
ing to all tbe senses was not Isas than
a public benefactor.
It was at this moment that tbe ad
venture—for It shall bars no meaner
name—actually Vegan. My eyes were
still enjoying tbe Roasettilike vision in
tbe cashier’s tiny booth when a figure
suddenly darkened tbe street door just
beyond her. The girl lifted her bead.
On tbe Instant the lamp key clicked
as she extinguished her llg^t, and the
aureoled bead ceased to be. And com
ing toward me down tbe shop I beheld
a lady, a lady of years, who passed
tbe cashier's deek with her eyes in
tent upon tbe room's inner recesses.
Her gown, of a new fashionable gray,
was of tbe severest tailor cut. Her
bat was a modified fedora, gray like
tbe gown, and adorned with a single
gray feather. She was abort, slight
erect and moved with a quick bird
like motion, pausing and glancing at
tbe vacant tables that lay between
me and the door. She appeared to be
engaged in a calculation of some sort
and she raised a lorgnette to assist her
in counting tbe tables. Tbe cashier
passed behind her unseen and vanish
ed. I beard tbe newcomer reciting:
“One. two. three, four. five. six. sev-
en.” And at Keren her eyes rested
upon me with a look that mingled sur-
prise and annoyance. Sbe took a step
toward me. and 1 started to rise, but
sbe said quickly:
“1 beg your pardon, but tbte seems
to be tbe seventh table.”
“Now that yon call my attention to
It.” 1 remarked, gaining my feet. “I
am bound to concede tbe point. If by
any chance I am intruding"—
“Not in the least On tbe other band.
I beg that you 'remain where you
are” And without further ado sbe

“Never mind that” said tbe lady In
gray, ignoring the card “Yon may

with her eye—“you hare tbe imported
caviar and your barkeeper knowa tbe
proper frappe of tbe spirit lifter I have

“Pardon me. madam.” replied tbe
waitress icily, “but you bave mistaken

As tbe girl vanished wltb tbe
tread that marked tbe service of tbe
place I again made as to rise, but tbe
old lady lifted her band with a delay-
ing gesture.
“Pray remain. It is not unlikely
that we have friends and ideas in com-
mon. and as you were seated at the
aeventb table it is possible 'that some
ordering of fate baa brought us to-
gether.”
Sbe took from me in tbe hand which
she bad now ungloved tbe copy of my
minor poet, glanced at it scornfully and
tossed it upon tbe floor wltb every
mark of disdain.
“What species of mental disorder
does this place represent?” sbe de-
manded.
“It is sacred to the fine arts appar-
ently; an endowed tea room where per-
sons of artistic ideals may come to ro
fresh body and souL Such at least
seems to be tbe program. This is only
my second visit, but 1 bave long beard
it spoken of by artists, poets and oth-
ers of my friends.”
“I am sixty-two years old, young
man. and 1 beg to Inform you that i
consider tbe Asolando tbe most pre-
posterous thing I have ever beard of
in this most preposterous city. And
from a casual glimpse of you 1 feel
justified in saying that a man in your
apparent physical health might be
better business than frequenting
midafternoon a shop that seems to

“Attendance here is not compulsory.”
I remarked defensively.

It may be well to explain that tbe
Hara and Tortoise is tbe smallest and
most select of clubs, whose windows
' afford a pleasant view of Gramercy
park. The club is comparatively young,
i and It Is our juke that we are so far all
tortoises, creeping through our several
professions without aid from any hare.
I hasten to explain that I am a chim-
ney doctor. Wiggins is a lawyer; at
least 1 bave seen nls name to a list of
graduates of tbe Harvard Law seboel,
and be has an office dowtitown. where
1 have occasionally found trim sedately
playing solitaire while ne waited for
some one to take him out to luncheon.
He spends bis summers on a South
Dakota ranch, from which be derives a
considerable income.
I Wiggins is an athlete, and his sum-
mers in tbe west and persistent train-
ing during the winter keep him to fine
condition. As 1 faced him tonight in
our favorite corner of tbe Hare and
Tortoise dining room the physical man
was fit enough, but 1 saw at once that
be was glum and dispirited. He had
through many years honored me with
his confidence, and i felt that tonight
after we got well started 1 should hear
what was on his mind. I hoped to
cheer him with the story ef a visit 1
had by chance paid that afternoon to
tbe Asolando tea room, for, though Wig-
gins ts a most practical person. 1 im-
agined that be would be diverted by
j my description of a place which, 1 felt
sure, nothing could tempt him to visit.
1 shall never forget tbe look he gave
me when 1 remarked at about bis third
spoonful of soup:
“By tbe way, 1 dropped into an odd
place this afternoon—Burne-Jones buns.
Rossetti macaroons and al) that sort of
thing. They call it the Asolando”—
1 was ambling on. expecting to
sharpen his curiosity gradually as 1 re-
cited tbe joys of tbe tea room, but at
Asolando his spoon dropped, and be
stared at me blankly. It should be
known that Wiggins is not a man
whose composure is lightly shaken.
“Tbe Asolando,” I repeated, to break
the spell of his blank stare. “Know

CHAPTER L
My Friend Wiggins ts Introduced,
f DINED wltb Hartley Wiggins at
the Hare and Tortoise on an even- marked with bls preluding sigh
“What’s tbe matter with Wiggins?
I demanded.
“Ah! Be hasn’t told you? Thought
be told you everything ”
This was meant for a stinger, and I
felt the tote of it.
“You do me too much honor Wig
gins is not a man to throw around bis
coofideoces.”
“And 1 rather fancy that tos love
affairs in particular are locked to his
bosom.”
Jewett was a master of tbe art of
suggestion. He took an unnecessarily
long time to light a cigar so that his
words might sink deep into my cod
scion sness
“Saw ber once last spring Got a
sight draft from tbe Bank of Eros
Followed net across tbe multitudinous
sea Bang!*’
“But Wiggy Hasn’t been abroad.
Wiggy was on bis Dakota ranch all
summer. He’s all tanned from tbe sun.
just as be is every fail.” 1 persisted.
“Wrote you from out there, did be?
Sent you picture postals showing bim
herding bis cattle or whatever the
beasts are? Kept in touch with yon all i
tbe time, did be? 1 tell you bis fine
color is due to Switzerland, not Da-
kota.”
“Wiggins isn’t a letter writer nor the ,
sort of person who wants to paper your .
house with picture postals Bls not I
writing doesn’t mean that be wasn’t on
bls ranch.” I replied, annoyed by Jew
ett’s manner.
“Never dropped you before, though.
I wager.” be chirruped. “1 tell you
