PLANTATION; Miss Langtry, an angry slster-in-
law; Mr.. Freddie Gebhardt, the Mutual
Friend" Mr.. A. Mackenzie, a friend of Miss
Langtry Previous however, to the denoue-
ment it is essential to explain the plot of the

to come on to Toronto and pay us q visit.
She did so and both of us had much pleas
ure in renewing the acquaintance we had
Mrs. Mackenzie that l am about to escort
Miss Langtry to England. The young lady
has been grossly misrepresented."
The general impression in New York was
that Miss Langtry had formed an engage
ment with Mr.. Stone"
There is not word of truth in it. No
such man. Miss Langtry tells me, ever ex-
listed, so far as she knows. Neither had she
any trouble in getting her trunk from her
hotel. The fact is Miss Langtry thought it
was not quite the thing for her to be travel
ing around with theatrical company who
were strangers to her and with whom she
had no sympathy. She represented these
facts TO Mrs. Langtry and the result was diff
ference of opinion and they parted"
But she correspondent with her sister did
she not?
Yes, and received very cordial letters in
exchange. Notwithstanding the separation
Miss Langtry has strong affection for her
sister-in-law."

'On Wednesday. We only arrived last

Miss Langtry is pleasant bright-looking
young lady, about the medium height Her
hair is light brown and her figure is full
and graceful in outline. She has a thorough
English face and accent, and her complexion
is as ruddy as a rose. But she has also an in
tense horror of reporters and declined to see
any newspaper representatives. At $50 p.
NJ Mr.. Freddie Gebhardt entered the St.
Nicholas Hotel. He was attred in a brown
ish overcoat, with an immense rose in the
button-hole, Derby hat, and carried walk
ing cane. Mr.. Mackenzie was standing a few
feet from the Office counter talking with the
writer. Mr. Gebhardt looked absent and alb
stracted. Having written his name on a card
it was taken up TO Miss Langtry's room, No.

who also knew Mr.. Mackenzie introduced
the latter to the former The two
men took each others, reckoning" and
Mr.. Gebhardt turning his back half way on
the other continues to address the intro

| latter, Il shall want you to help me out in a
little scheme of. mine in the fall. 1t won't
Inconvenience you, as you have got $50, 900 a
year"
Haven't got $50, 900 year, you know.
! Haven't got $4,000 year." and then Fred
die walked upstairs to see Miss Langtry In
| the meantime Mrs Langtry was waiting out
side in Mr.. Gebhardts private carriage to
| learn the result of his mission. She looked
| worn, and even her magnificent sealskin dol
man scarcely compensated by its richness
| for her altered appearance. In about five
| minutes Mr. Gebhardt returned, and
handing the Lily from the carriage,
proceeded to escort her to the ladies'
| parlor, where a most affecting interview
took place. Having been introduced to
Mrs Langtry. Mr.. Mackenzie and MIR. Geb-
hardt retired to Il distant corner of the apart
ment. Explanations, expostulations and
| tears were freely exchanged. Although the
actual result of Mr.. Gebhardts good offices
has not been obtained, it is understood, how
ever, that Miss Langtry could not be per-
suaded to accompany her sister-in-law to
Washington. Mrs. Langtry remained with
her sister-in-law fully an hour, and al
though she failed to induce her to remain in
the United States, she succeeded in effecting
a reconciliation, and intrusted Miss Langtry
with several commissions to her friends in
England. They parted apparently on good
terms The breach is now heated. Upon
returning to her carriage Mrs. Langtry was
| beaming with smiles and good humor.
