But apparently Harry Whitney found
Paris more attractive than New York,
for he gave no promise of speedy home
coming. Early In October, when Mrs.
Delisle had been six months in possess

ry sent for her, in mighty wrath.

this was a flrst-class boarding house,
Mrs. Delisle merely bent her head
with an air of quiet dignity.
A first-class boarding-house, re-
peated Mr.. Gregory, swelling visibly,
"and yet Miss Isabel, my daughter, has
to occupy seat beside man who is,
understand, clerk, and whose clothes
are but one degree above shabbiness."
You refer to Mr.. Worth ?"
i do, madam. If this is to become
home for beggarly clerks, we will
leave"
MIR. Worth is gentleman" was
the quiet reply; "his references were
unexceptionable, and he is related to
some of the leading people in the city,
Still, if you desire it, will remove his
seat to the other side of the table,"
i do request it, and since accidents
are always to be guarded against, L also
request that Mr.. Worth will not con-
slider the fact of occupying the same
house in any way an introduction to our
acquaintance"
"Very well, sir"
Then Mrs. Delisle left the room, and
straightway proceeded to small sit
ting-room,next the drawing-room, where
Mr. Worth was seated "a handsome man,
with heavy brown beard, expressive
eyes, playing brilliant fantasia
upon the piano, while Sadie Gregory
nestled in deep armchair, listened at
tentively.
Very gravely Mrs. Delisle repeated
the insulting message and request of the
autocrat, and very gravely Mr.. Worth
listened
But, Sadie, springing to her feet,
crimsoned with modification and anger
and the little hand that rested on the
back of the armchair trembled with ex-
element.

the humbly dropped eyelashes he stole
look at the young girl beside him.
6 1t may be, " said Mrs. Delisle, quiet
ly, " that Mr.. Gregory will be satisfied
with moving your seat But, if not,
you must not think hard of me, Mr..
Worth, if 1 make some sacrifice to keep
my best-paying boarders.''
Certainly not The little L pay for
a hall room, upon the upper floor, can
make no material difference in your in
come. Still, if it can be arranged, L
should like to remain here.'
He bowed gravely still as he spoke
and left the room. But, Sadie, after the
door closed, dropped upon her knees by
the chair and broke into passionate
tears.
6 Sadie, dear child,' Mrs. Delisle said,
kindly, what troubles you Y''
1t was long before the answer came,
but the tears were spent at last, and
the girl stood up.
g L am ashamed to bear the same
name," she said, impetuously, "to he
of the same blood, as that of my uncle
and cousin. The bitter humiliation of
hearing such insults offered gentle
man, crushes me-"
"Sadie child"
You think me unmaidenly to take
his cause,' said the girl, quickly, "but
you are wrong. 1t is not only because 1
know how immeasurably he is above

"Sadie, do not get so excited. No one
will connect your name with thi.
trouble"
But the girl would not be comforted
Her sensitive nature was touched to the
quick. 1t hurt her, too, that Mrs
