The words were playfully spoken, and
the whole attitude of the man seemed
the very personifcation of frank friend

fell under the intense glance which
seemed to pierce her very soul, and with
out parting word she sought her own

Blanche De Berri and John Drayton
were distantly related, but had been acl
1quainted for only short time. Blanche
was born in England, and educated In
Paris. Her father, just before his death,
had written to his cousin, Mrs. Dray ton
Johns mother), requesting, that she
would take charge of his daughter. This
letter was cordially responded to; and a
'9ewnlonths afterward found Blanche De
Berri an inmate of the pleasant home of
her fathers old friend.
Mrs. Drayton was very glad of her so

was so devoted to his profession, that she
saw very little of him; and consequently

lady companion was an exceedingly valu-
able acquisition. -

ssoffer OF marriage.
Mrs. Drayton had very mnocently, but
indirectly, mentioned the fact of her
lyotegee,s large fortune, and Blanche at

gentlemen entirely to this cause.
