Carolyn smiled with pleasure. but Madame Scott compressed lier lips. "Don't. ﬂatter her. young man," she snapped. “Ski's lied entirely too much sweet talk from men.”

"I always treat w women rough." eeid Ieeu with e Winkle in his black ayes.

"Your grandfather was twenty- flve years older than I when X married him." said Modems Scott. "Re had reached the time of life where the thing he wanted moat was children ta perpetuate him. we had three and he treated me like the fourth. He used to tehenree all hie speeches in my presence.

"Good lend!" exclaimed Beau Sell.

"Exactly." snapped Madame Scott. She regarded hfm intently. “Is it true that you have seven people dependent upon you?"

Beau nodded. "I yea fourteen when my father died and seme- body had to carry on."

Madune Scott turned abruptly to Carolyn. "Julie la a 1002'," she remarked tartly. "She'll never get anywhere interfering between you and your young man."

“He isn't my young man!" pre- tested Carolyn, coloring furiously.

But her grandmother with an imperious gesture had dismissed them.

CHAPTER. V

Gazing down the length of his lace-covered dinner table that night. George Webster felt provoked, not for the first time, with his wife, She was looking unusually hand- scme. I-fe sighed. Julia was en inch taller than her husband and she possessed a talent for making him conscious of the dlltference in their heights. If she liked, Julia Webster could make most people feel in- significant. 0n tlfls occasion she was doing everything in lier power to show up Beau Bell before caro- iyn as a: crude. if not impossible young men.

"Are you related to the Captain Bell who was with General Fer- rest's cavalry in the civil War. Mr. Bell?" she inquired.

Beau grinned. '1 doubt it." he said. "I have n hunch that. all my forbearers who went to war were foot soldiers. Common flunkiet, i! you know what I mean. We're like that."

"Indeed?" murmured Julia Web- ater. arching her heavy black eye- brows. "

Scctty scowled at his plate. “Skip it. lifother," he muttered.

His tether sighed again. Scotty had been late to dinner. He came in after the soup was served. He had been drinking. and hie horse- llke face looked longer than ever. 1t was no secret to Geerﬂe Webster that his son wee a problem. Seetty was the lest male descendant of Berkshire Scbtt. His mother ex- pected hint to weer her father's mantle, but it was becoming more and more obvious thnt on Scotty's gaunt shoulders the mantle was a misfit and one that chalet! him unbearably. That was why George Webster had for qnce mails a stand against his Iwife and insisted thtt Bcotty be permitted to so to the state university.

As n rule George Webster did not interfere with his wife's fixed ideas. He had- been an ambitious young secretary in lier father's office when she married hlln. It was the general" impression that he had done extremely well‘ for him- self to capture the daughter n! thcxreat Berkshire Scott. Juliu he'd had s slightly condescending elr toward her bridegroom at the miter. She still had it after twenty-three years of married life.

Since his father-iii-lawu death. George Webster managed the Scott estate. Consisting of various types of rental properties end stocks and bonds. it took up ell his tune. He bed managed it. very credltebly. Hie business acquaintances marveled et. the way he had brought, the estate through the depression with little. if any, deprecitfion in value. However, in the eyes of his wife he was still her father's clerk and no good top sergeant with a General more to be ranked with hlin than e Pershing. she wee willing to trust his Judgment in vulaar financial matters, but not in anything else. particularly in the reerlnl of their children.

"Father you should eel Beau ell the football field." laid Carolyn. an appealing note in her fresh young voice. “He's wonderful!" Her father felt a pang. He was barely ecqueitited with his daugh- ter. Unconeeieusly Carolyn had absorbed he!‘ mother's attitude of forgettlng that technically George Webeterwee the heed of the house. He could not recall that Carolyn bed ever More turned to him for support. it both touches and fiat» tered him.
