Reg was not aione-he had friend
who looked upon him as the rising
Light of his generation-a youth by the
name of Snythe. He spelled his name
in that way, the hopeless effort after
the unattainable resorted to by the
desperate.
Smythe had moncy-plenty of it,
but that did not prevent him from
being a toady and humble sycophant.
He worshiped the Honorable Reg, and
glowcd with satisfaction when that
noble man borrowed money of him,
and condescended to accept other
friendly services at his hands.
Yes, / can't do it, Smythe. The.

Miss Maynard was q woman OF
about t~hirty-tive years, q quiet, digni-
fed lady, tall, pale, intellectual, and
rather retiring. Her companion, Miss
Eva Church, was her opposite in every.
way. She was small, dark, rosy,
lively, a perfect little butterfly, run-
ming from one place to- another, now
playing a waltz, now singing a snatch
Of song. O perching birdlike on
The steps of the piazza overlooking
the old French fort, then trying to
row q boat with more patience than
success, a laughter-loving, artless,
beautiful girl, with all a wild girls
Maynard fancies and all a good GIRLS
generous impulses. 1t was Eva Church
who was first on the spot when little
Jack Holiday, the poor widows son,
was run over by a passing carriage;
it was Eva who helped to carry him to
the drug store; she it was who held
his hand while the doctors set his
broken arm; and when, after days
and nights of anguish, Jacks soul
was waited upward, she 1t was who
knelt beside his coffin, paid for from
the little red purse that hung by her
with his mother's and lhe birds on the
