Perhaps if Fox bam bad spared him

Kidd was making mental notes, and
Cadwallader Hunter strove to retain
his reputation as a valued cousin.
“Just a minutp or two, dear boy, and
we’ll take ourselves off. This is Mr.
Kidd, from one of pur most important
papers”—
“Happy to see him another time,”
snapped Loveland. “Just now I'm in
no temper to entertain strangers.”
“But at least,” Cadwallader Hunter
protested, “you mustn’t took on me as
a stranger, my dear fellow, and if
there's anything I can do"—
“My dear fellow," Loveland flung
back at him In angry mimicry, “if you
keep on I’m more likely to look on you
as a bore- Tbe one thing you can do
for me is to go and take your news
paper friend with you. Good morn-
ing.”
▲nd the bear shot back into his den,''
banging the door.
“The British lion before his midday
meal,” remarked the representative of
the New Turk Light “Another minute

Man and youth collided. Tbe top
heavy pile of clothing crumbled Into
ruin, Foxham's loathed shirts and
waistcoats blotting out the threshold.
What tbe valet said long hiblts of
servitude rendered inaudible, but what
Loveland said might have been beard
at the end of the corridor. And there
were listeners nearer—Major Cadwal-
lader Hunter and a companion who
“repreaented” one of New Tort’s lead-
ing newspapers.
Major Cadwallader Hunter had been
somewhat doubtful of bls wisdom in
paying this ■ uninvited call. He bad
tainted that be might drop in at tbe
hotel to sw taw Lord Loveland got
on and had not been encouraged to do
so. But Tony- Kidd of the New York
Light was a pretty good excuse for
persevering, and he certainly had been
long rows on a white velvet back* badly tn want of an excuse.
The journalist, sent down by bls pa-
per to meet the Mauretania, bad just
exhausted tbe available supply of
homecoming millionaires when he spied
Major Cadwallader Hunter and care-
lessly culled him by the way as worth
a short paragraph at the bottom of a
column. ....... —
Cadwallader Hunter was glad of a
paragraph aAywhere. bnt thought be
saw bls way to one higher up, perhaps
even with a headline. Bo be happened
to mention “a connection of his," the
Marquis of Loveland, who had been on
board, though for reasons tbe noble
name did not appear on the passen-
ger list, and Mr. Kidd took tbe bait.
Loveland was described by his alleged
cousin as s "dearboy,” so handsome,
so clever/ one of tbe oldest peerages
in England, etc.. In
slammed Loveland's ears tingled with
the consciousness that not poly bad be

ly, unless influence were brought to
bear, he would refuse to see Mr. Kidd.
But Cadwallader Hunter would like to
do the Light a good turn and give the
paper a chance for a “scoop.” He
would take Mr. Kidd under his wing
and use his persuasive powers to ob-
tain some sort of interview.
When, arriving at the hostelry, be
had talked for a few minutes with
pleasant condescension to a hotel clerk
i his self esteem had so risen that he no
j longer dreaded a cold reception. Nor
i did be receive one. His welcome was.
| on the contrary, far warmer than be
had expected, and the hot blast of.
Loveland's wrath swept him back a
step or two, so that he trod hard upon
Tony Kidd's most pampered toe
A difficult young man to approach,
indeed.
The representative of the New York
Light was a brilliant journalist with a
keen sense of humor, and a headline
jumped into his bead as Cadwallader.
Hunter stamped ufron his toe—“A Dif-
ficult Young Man to Approach.” He
thought he saw hfs way to something
rather choice for tomorrow morning's

! Now he did not want to' look at his
fellow beings or be looked'at, and be
pressed bls electric bell viciously to
order luncheon up.
It came presently and would have
been delicious to a man without a
grievance, but Loveland’s grievance
was so gigantic that it crowded out bis
appetite. Useless to watte mdney In
cabling instructions for Foxham's ar-
rest, be reflected. The wretch who had
planned everythin# so well would long
ago have taken himself out of harm's
way.
No, Loveland decided, be need not
hope to punish Foxham. Ills time
might be better employed In planning
the reconfctriictlon of his own ward
robe.
A man, even a marquis, can live
without tie pins or a change of shirt
studs, but he cannot live without such
clothes as society expects of him.
