This is not. alasi a love story 1t deals

never saw Daisy during the whole Of this
time by herself When her uncle could not
leave the hotel she invariably remained with
him Many days OF delightful companion
ship passed before l had my first chance OF
speaking 20 her alone.
Evsn then the chance was brought about
in a somewhat ludicrous fashion. The $50
cietv pauersr were now full of Mr. Maulev-
erer and hs millions. l could not take up
one of them IN which did not find his name
Now it was some wonderful story that was
told about the magnificence with which
Great L1rton Hall was being furnished and
other wise prepared for his residence; now it
was a yacht winch be had bought from the
executors OF deceased duke, and ch was
being red scorated for his use in accordance
with the traditions of the arabian Nights, "
rather than any more sober or prosalc pre-
cedents: and now it was an elaborate calcu-
lation OF the number Of guineas per hour
which bv day AMI night were being poured
into the pockets OF my friend
When 1 read these tales l found il very
difficult to connect them with the plain,
almost ,hab5ily dressed gentleman who
although he had secured the bet suite OF
rooms at the hotel, still lived in perfect sim
plicity og stve. and gave no evidence either
of the possession OF wealth or the taste fOI

Of imaginative penny-a-liners, u was taker
