Somehow the news crept ont. When
Gen. Biddulph took his stroll in the
park a few DAYS later. he was greeted by
slv hints and tender inquiries after his
ward. Fair faces beamed on him. and
pretty lips murmured kind promises to
take the Young stranger in hand and
show her life. He began to shine with
a reflected glory. Miss DAILY, accord

consideration for the generals welfare.
They were always dropping in upon
him Notwithstanding the
erimness of Scott and the unmistakable
frigiditv of their welcome. Every
morning Gen. Biddulph eagerly

dispatch informing him of the arrival of
his ward, and he called twice a day re-
gular at Charges street only to receive
the intelligence that Mrs. Comvns and
Miss DAILY had not yet arrived"

one morning he was gratiied when he
called at the house by the announce
ment that "the ladies were expected
that evening"

preaching when he should come face TO
