When Duncan accepted Mrs. Har
vey's Invitation t? Join her house party
In the mountains that worthy lady
was overjoyed.
Here, Indeed, was the very man she
had boon seeking: ti man whose name
was on everybody's lips, a veritable
Uon, who would make her the envy of
all hot" set. (
He was the man who had spoilt a
month In I.assa and who had talked
with the grand lama himself, a draw
ing card of the highest magnitude.
Mrs. Harvey spent a nood half day In
congratulating herself and wondering
Just how she had been able to manage
It
She pictured liim as she had last
seen Uiin, a happy, exuberant, boyish
young inn n why would entertain her
other guests by the hour with most ah

sorbins; nuccdotcs of his work, liis
travel niul the dangers ho had under
gone. ?
Duncan arrived duly. The guests,
who were assembled on the wide ver
anda. saw Tim bring the big road car
up to the steps, saw a bronzed, grave
faced young man climb out and punc
tiliously greet Mrs. Ilarvey as "CoWln
Mary."
If they had expected any signs of
his far heralded exploits about him,
any gray hnlrs on his head or any
marks of suffering upon his face, they
were doomed to disappointment. He
was fair haired, sleek, well groomed.
Indeed, he looked much more like a
prosperous business man on a week
ned vacation than a celebrity with
whose name two continents were ring
ing.
At dinner that night Mrs. Ilarvey
made her tlrst attempt to draw him
out.
"Now. Ted." she suggested as the
coffee was served, "we're all impa
tient to hear about U."
Duncau looked surprised. "About
what. Cousin Mary?" he asked.
"What, Indeed?" she returued. "Your
recent triumph in Ijtssa, of course."
Duncan actually blushed under his
coat of tan and squirmed uneasily in
his chair as he realized all the eyes at
the table were upon him.
"Oh. that!" he said. "It's nothing?
really nothing. It's not worth the tell
ing."
"Hut the papers said"?
"The papers," he Interrupted: "the
yellow sheets, you mean. Cousin Mary.
They must have news. They'll make
something out of the most hopeless
material."
"You talked with the grand lama.
Tell us about him. What did he say?"
Duncan laughed with some embar
rassment. "Nice little chap, the lama.
Youngish, he Is, with a lean face and
keen eyes. We had quite a gossiping
bee through an Interpreter. Seemed
most Interested In the color of my hair,
the lama did. Wanted to know what
made It yellow. 1 tried to tell him it
was nature and not peroxide that did
it. but the interpreter got all taugled
up trying to put It right, and the lama's
face was like a graven image. I guess
the thing didn't go."
In self defense he turned to the girl
at his left.
"What was your score on the links
this afternoon?" he asked. "Forty
one? Fine! Wish I could do as good
as that."
As an attraction, an entertainer of
Mrs. Harvey's guests, Duncan proved
a signal failure. He was taciturn, shy,
111, at ease. The guests on their part
stood rather !n awe of the big, grave
young man with the slow smile and
the thoughtful eyes.
They Imagined lie found them trivial,
not worth IiLm efforts. When they were
on the links or putting the horses to
t!'e hurdles behind the stables, he took
l< ug solitary rambles across the moun
tains. ?
When they played bridge or danced
in the evening, he sat alone on the ve
randa, smoking innumerable cigarettes.
Mrs. Harvey, In frank disappointment,
told herself he was Impossible.
The usual game of bridge was in
full swing one evening and Duncan
was sitting quite alone on one end of
the veranda, looking at the great bulk
of the mountains looming dimly In the
moonlight.
He heard the door open softly, and,
turning, he saw Eleanor Graydon com
ing toward him. Duncan's pulses quick
ened. There was something about this
tall, beautiful girl, with her cool, voice
J
and hor steady brown eyes, that ho
(ouiul most attractive? most dlsquiat
Ingly attractive, Indeed.
She laughed softly as Hlie saw him
there.
"Deserter!" she tnuuted. "You and
your pose or solitude are getting on
Sirs. Harvey's nerves. 1 can see it.
Really, I'm beginning to believe you
conceited."
Duncan drew up u chair. "Won't you
sit here for a minute atjd watch these
mountains with me?" said he. "I'm?
I'm"? He paused.
"You're what'/" she prompted.
"Lonely." lie flulshed, wltji such evi
dent sincerity in his voice that the girl
felt a little pang of remorse.
"I presume you find us stupid," said
she, sitting down besldo him. "After
such a crowded life as yours has been
all this must be very tame."
"Tame?" he said, with sudden earn
estness. "Tame? Oh, heavens, no!"
"You give us that Impression any
way."
"Do I?" said he. He leaned forward
in his chair. "Do you know how I
feel here? Will you respect my secret
If 1 tell you?"
She nodded.
"Well, th'eu, like a fish out of water.
I'm afraid? honestly and actually
afraid. You see, all my life I have
traveled. I've been Into the out of the
way places of the earth. I haven't had
time to cultivate any of the graces of
civilization. All In all, I'm a barba
rian, more or less.
"I've looked forward to this? to this
coming here to Cousin Mary's and
meeting all these people of your world
more than I can tell you. But It has
taught ine * something about myself.
Much as I wish I fitted In this niche,
I'm Impossible. As a participator in
social functions In the accepted sense
of the term I'm hopeless."
The girl looked at him with a quiet
smile.
"I'll take back that remark about
your conceit aud ask your forgiveness
for It. too," said she. "Ob, yt>u boy!
You great, big hearted, simple boy!
You envy us in this silly, meaningless
life of ours? you who have been doing
something! I wish you might know
how I envy that life of yours!"
"Do you mean that ? really?" he
cried.
"It is worth a thousand lives like
ours."
"Rut I am isolated. I am alone. I
have cut myself off from all that I
really want. I want to be like these
other men here. I want to talk to you
as they do? to be as unafraid of you
as they are."
"That? Oh. pooh!" she laughed.
"Tell me, when you go Into an un
known country what do you do before
you try to travel It? take a guide, don't
you?"
JjYes."
"Well, that's what you must do here.
Take a guide. ' Then I'll warrant In a
week? In a day? you'll know the ropes
from beginning to end."
"A guide," he repeated musingly.
"Yes, that's It. I must take a guide to
show me Into civilization. My work
Is done now. I want to live In my
own country: therefore I must have
that guide. I? I? there Is only one I
want, and I want her for life," he
stammered, but lie looked at her with
no uncertain light In his eyes. "I am
presumptuous, I know. I am nothing
but a barbarian, as I told you. but per
haps with the guide It might be differ
ent."
He turned suddenly and caught h*r
hand In his own. "Can I have that
guide?" he asked unsteadily.
The girl arose. Her face was scar
let. but her eyes were looking Into his.
"Your first lesson will be in bridge,"
he said. "Come In and I'll teach
you." \
.Rut Duuean caught her In Ills arms
and held her fast.
"Yes, dear," she murmured. "I loved
you from the very first, you were so ?
so unspoiled by what I'm going to
guide you into."
Japanese Calendar.
Reference is frequently made to the
floral calendar of Japan. What tli.t
calendar 1s is explained in the House
keeper. The Japanese are extremely
fond of nil flowers, and they have
therefore made n calendar from them,
giving to each month a favorite blos
som or leaf.
Thus the pine, the emblem of lasting
prosperity and life, belongs to January,
and its branches are used to decorate
all houses on New Year's day.
To February belong the blossoms of
the plum tree, which stand for purity,
and the beautiful blossoms of the peach
tree, to which young girls are com
pared, are associated with the. month
of March.
Next the cherry blossom, the most
beloved of all flowers, is held to be
long to April, and to May nre assigned
the gorgeous clusters of tho wistaria
vine ,
The irl&ilower, to which are compared
the strength and beauty of young boys,
! belongs to June, and July has the glory
j and perfume of the water lily. The
flowering hibiscus tree attaches Its
beauty to the month of August, while
September lays claim to the exquisite
charm of the azalea.
The royal flower of Japan, the chrys
anthemum, which forms n part of the
crest of the imperial family, belongs
to the montli of October, while to No
vember Is given the maple leaf, ad
mired for. its decorative quality.
Finally, with December Is associated
the beautiful camellia, which blooms
In the gardens even in the midst of
snow.
A Pepys Dinner.
My wife had got ready a very fine
dinner? viz, a dish of marrow bones, a
leg of mutton, a loin of veal, a dish of
fowl, three pullets and two dozens of
larks all in a dish, a great tart, a neat's
tongue, a dish of anchovies,' a dish of
prawns and cheese.? PcpyB' Diary.
