AS the boat of the Fall River
Line was leaving her wharf at Fall
river on Saturday evening, a young
md rather pretty lady sat on one Of
The benches aft, toying with a little
and looking pensiyely
at the water. She was neatly at
tired in a travelling suit of light
but expensive material, and looked
in every respect like well-bred lady.
A. few feet away was seated a hand
some, dark-featured little gentle
man, who resides within stones
throw of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, |
and who was bound for this city, |
but intended to stop for a few hours
at Newport. Some young ladies
who were promenading the deck
cast admiring glances at the hand
some little gentleman, whereat the
lady looked at him with a quiet
smile, and, addressing him in
sweet, musical voice, remarked
"The ladies seem to admire you,
sir" "Ah, no, miss" reioined the
gentleman; but 1 think the gen
tlemen admire YOU" She smiled
again and said, with a coquettish
toss of the shapely head: 81 see
you are disposed to flatter." Thus
it was that the pair entered into a
pleasant conversation, in the course
of which the gentleman was con-
siderably surprised to learn that his
new acquaintance was of noble
birth and station. She casually
mentioned that her husband, Sir
Walter Hubbell Trevylaine, Bart,
had preceded her on the route to
New York, and that she had tele-
graphed to him at the Hotel Bruins.
wick to send servants and a carriage
to the wharf at New York to await
her arrival. But just then she
happened to be in q very peculiar
and trying predicament, having
been so unfortunate as to mad
vertently deposit her pooket-book
in a piece Of baggage which had
been sent in advance. The cir
cumstanco deprived her Of
sufficient funds wherewith to
paw for her state-room. "Mad-
am" said the handsome lit
tie gentleman, 81 shall be only
too glad to loan you an amount Of
money sufficient to defray your ex'
penses to the city, if you will only
accept it." The lady warmly
thanked him, and with a gracious
condescension consented to accep-
a loan of $40, a portion of which
she Immediately expended in the
purchase of astate.room ticket from
The stewardess Of the boat. Tht
noble lady then innocently invited
the accommodating gentleman t.
the cabin, and showed him lette
she had penned to her husband
the baronet, but which in her hast
to reach the boat she had forgotten
to leave in Boston for transmission
through the mails. They again re
turned to the promenade deck
