Sylvanus Power regrets very much that he is unable to lunch with Mr. Ware as arranged to-day, but he is compelled to go to Philadelphia on the morning train. He will be glad to meet Mr. Ware anywhere, a week to-day, and know the result of the matter which was discussed last night." "To whom am I speaking?" Philip demanded. "I don't know anything about lunching with Mr. Power to-day." "I am Mr.
Sylvanus Power was no small thing, and he was conscious that several of the officials of the place, and the man in the box office, had heard every word that had passed. He felt, somehow, curiously ignored. He watched the huge figure of the Westerner, with Elizabeth by his side, disappear down the corridor.

Pillin, sir." "Show him in!" In a fur coat which seemed to extinguish his thin form, Joe Pillin entered. It was snowing, and the cold had nipped and yellowed his meagre face between its slight grey whiskering. He said thinly: "How are you, Sylvanus? Aren't you perished in this cold?" "Warm as a toast. Sit down. Take off your coat." "Oh! I should be lost without it. You must have a fire inside you.
Well, I couldn't. Besides, I wanted to get away. It is about Sylvanus Power." He sat a little more upright. His nerves were tingling now with eagerness. "Yes?"

WILLIAM SYLVANUS BAXTER, Esq., July 14 It is impossible to say how many times he might have read the poem over, always with increasing amazement at his new-found powers, had he not been interrupted by the odious voice of Jane. "Will ee!"
But she was not satisfied. "Where's that laundryman with the tin thing on his head?" she demanded. "He ought to be arrested for having such a dog. It's HIS dog, isn't it? Where is he?"

"I have been to your rooms," Sylvanus Power went on. "They knew nothing about you there." "They wouldn't," Philip replied. "I go where I choose and when I choose. What do you want with me?" Conversation in the room was almost suspended. Those in the immediate locality, well acquainted with the gossip of the city, held the key to the situation. Every one for a moment, however, was spellbound.
They were still at breakfast when Sylvanus Haught burst in upon them, bowed to his grandfather, bowed to Rose Stillwater, and seized Cora Rothsay around the neck and covered her with kisses, all in a minute and before he spoke a word.
