We had turned by this time, and met
them again, and now they were accom-
panied by handsome young fellow with
weak chin, and an overpowering air OF
insutferab.e c0nceit about him.
"Ughl Look therep Harwood ex-
claimed, contemptuously; they've got
young Roper in tow. The tool has just
come into his property, which he is
spending in the most approved forms OF
low vice; but any one of those girls
would marry him it he neld his finger
up"
who's that?" asked eagerly, as a
graceful woman, with the face of Mu-
rillo's Madonna, passed us, leading
handsome little boy by the hand, ano
followed by huge st. Bernard dog.

woman, and the most stIfasclnating,t too, by

Here's Kate RlWdon at last; I've been
waiting to introduce you to her."
Kate RaWdOn was amenable to his ad-
yunces, ana permitted the introduction;
and as soon as we had resumed our
promenade by her side, Harwood lelt
me with her, and went off TO join Mr.
Chester.

Sue uastened off in the direction OF a
laughing, brilliant group OF girls, and,
seelrg me alone, Harwood rejoined me:

We went back to Maggie and lunch

@The way some girls behaye is really
disgusting" she began at once; "the
CrofLon girls have been here all the
