night, in fact, was getting cold, and even
through her rugs she felt it chilly. LET us get
up and walk little" Hugh suggested politely.
That will warm mademoisselle most assur-
eddy" Mademoiselle, now completely democrat
lied, accepted the suggestion, and paced the
deck briskly by Hugh's side. They walked up
and down till they were fairly tired and then
Eulalle, who had got back to Gruchy and the
cure, stood for a while by the gunwale, looking
over once more into the water, whitened by the
paddle-wheels and cleaning beautifully in the
clear moonlight
She leant for a minute or two by the gunwale,
with her hands both hanging over listlessly;
when, all of a sudden, there was a slight lurch
cry, splash, glimpse of some small object
ialllng INTO the water; and Eulalie wrung her
hands plteously, exclaiming, like a tragedy
queen, Il have lost my PURSE"
Hugh was really distressed at this untoward
accident oh, I'm so sorry, he cried quickly.
was there much in it2"
Twenty francs" Mademoiselle Eulalie sobbed
out bitterly, again wringing her pretty little
gioyed hands, land it was all the money | had
with me-
IF mademoiselle will permit me- Hugh be-
gan, and suddenly broke off. He was about to
add, I shall be proud to let her consider my
purse as her own until she reaches her destina-
ton" On the spur of the moment he had
thought OF lending her sovereign, and manag-
ing so to arrange that she couldn't return it to
him; but there, even as he spoke, he bethought
himself OF that wretched siXpence, and checked
himself Immediately with disagreeable effort.
Have you paid for your ticket as far as Wes-
toni" he asked.
Yes, monsieur
Well, that's well. at any rate, Hugh said,
otherwise, he could add this more safely now
Il should have been delighted to lend you what
ever You required" Which was perfectly true,
as far as it went. though Hugh did add TO him
self the mental reservation, If had it with
me-.
You are very kind. monsieur the poor girl
replied, and then relapsed into complete silence.
It was perfectly clear that the loss of that poor
little twenty francs had rendered her for the
moment wholly inconsolable Hugh pitied the
poor girl from the bottom of his heart. Indeed,
| as he luckily knew her address at Weston, he
made up his mind that the moment he returned
to Bristol he would send her twenty francs
anonymously, care of Miss Spurter, and concoct
some cock-and-bull story about its having been
found In purse clnging to hawser, some
thing else equally harmless and impossible.
After that, the conversation tagged decidedly
1t was getting toward the small hours of the
morning; and Eul&le, between grief and sleepi-
ness, dozed off at last with her rugs wrapped
warmly around her, and didn't fully wake up
again until o'clock the next morning. Capdor
compels me to confess that Hugh Portledown
very shortly followed her example When they
woke up again, they nearing the low white
cliffs outside Poole Harbor, lighted up by mag
nifcent sunrise.
