congregation was pouring Oulol 81 IcltI y
Faton-SQuare one Sunday morning in the
beginning of November "What, Spencer?
say rather whom, " returned the other, a
tall. very handsome, and arStOcratic-lOok-
ing individual, wearing q richly-sabled
ulster. "There she is! BY Heaven! must
see where she goes"
"St. John are you mad? What the dick
els"
But st, Sohn heard no more; he had, with
quick movement, doubled round a stout,
cold-spactacled old dowager, and Spencer
Just caught a glimpse Of his tall figure
among the crowd near the gate, and then
was forced to give his attention to amiddle-

down over her shoulders there was nothing
noteworthy in her dress, but her face must
have possessed more than ordinary comeli-
ness, for most of the people who passed her
all the men-turncd their heads and look
ed again
Perhaps Berthe ST. John had seen that
cOuntenance; he was surely not tracking a
young lady on the strength Of aprctty figure
and a graceful carriage.
The unconscious maiden walked right in
10 the statijnyard, and proceeded towards
