Between bim nnd his prodigal grand¬ father stood tho memory of that bul¬ wark of cuutlon—his father. Huving his futher as an %.'vami)le, he became all caution, cnutlou; hesitated when op¬ portunity kuockeil uud iost many chances to re-establish the fortunes of tho house of Cruuford.
He Quitted life with exactly what he had begun with. The grandson had Jast enough to wenther his club du'.s and his tailors, with u little left over for his flshlng trips.
Tho economy he now practiced was beginning to tell. His Imiik ucioiiiit was growing and growing. Ln thicv- or four years he would have enoii;,'ii to livo on comfortably.
Marriage was. however, au utter im- possibility, for he was detcriuiued nev¬ er to  nmrry  a  woinan  wliose  Inconu' was   givatcr   than   his   o\wi,   and   h knew  that  he  could   never  be  haMi. with  ono  who  wa.s  not   liLs  e'liiil   :;i breeding   and   educallou.     lilaiiu-   (ii- vironnient fur Ihls fallacy!

Don't for¬ get my pliies. See you ut the station." Cranford went to his club for dlnu«r. He found tliree or four lonely bact elors-old frieuds—nud they sat at tbi- aame table. Talk run into every con¬ ceivable channel—women, horses, the light oi)enis then going, boating, box¬ ing and even the diseomflture of tbe famous gambler, Smead, who hnd beeu caught Oually with the g(K)ds ou his re¬ turn from lOurope. Crauford's coffee tasted bitter.
Before going to the station he went into the bar of ono of the nearby ho¬ tels for some clgnrs. He waa leuulng agninst the clgnr stand, next to the bur, wheu two strangers ut Ids side clicked their gla.sses and spoke a phrase which puzzled and surprised him. "Pidgin Islund!" "Squnre away!"

His cumpuniuu wus short end wiry and taciturn of expression. Hts Up was adorned by u cropped mua- tociw, which stood out like the brla- jtlM of a toothbrush. Oranford laughed silently. Ftohermen like himself, for only a flsberman   would  ever  mention a Hiwt ma Pidgtn island.   Doabt- iMB be would aee theu uguln. By the ticket booch he met Warren.

"Au' you're good fer sore eyes, .Mr. Cranford. Flshe<l you wheu y' wore short punts. Your paw was some fish¬ erman, I tell you!"
