is; he would have come here but he has a
business appointment early"
II would rather go there, Miss Peyton. |
do like walk through the streets and look
ing in the shops, and 50 does Madame Du-
port. We will start in good time. so as to
ba able to dawdle by the way, and stop
when we ike
"Well, cannot say like it, my dear; l
don't mind going down Bond street or even
Piccadilly. but | should not like the pushing
and rush in the Strand"
81 don't think we were ever pushed, Miss
Peyton, and we used to spend great deal
of our time shop gazing"
"Well, my dear, if you like to walk, of
course, you can, but my advice would GER
tainly be TO take a cab"
"What time are we to be there, Miss Pey-
toni"
AT IL O'Clock exactly; he said 10 O'Clock
sharp, which msans the same thing"
Ten O'Clock next morning Constance
said:
"You will think me very silly. Miss Pey-
ton, but that boy has been sitting on the
steps of the house over there ever since
came down at O'clock"
"Theu he is a very lazy boy, my dear, but
there is nothing very curious about that is
therer
Nothing curious at all in itself, but you
know l told you that | thought we we're
watched all the time, and | cannot help
thinking that they have begun again. OF
course, it may be only faucy, but | have
been watching him closely, and it seems to
me that he has been glancing over in this
direction u good many times
He looks to me dirty, lazy sort of
! boy, Just like other boys, my DEAR" Miss
| Peyton said, examining him through her
| glasses.
"Perhaps am wrong, Miss Peyton, but
| you will have an opportunity for seeing
presently. If he hangs about here until we
20 out, and then you see him get no and
| follow us, think 1t will be strong evil
dence"
Very strong If it is So" Miss Peyton
agreed. when you do go out will stand
back from the window and keep sharp eye
upon him."
During the next hour the boy moved once
or twice, taking his seat on other door steps
but moves going out of sight When Con-
stance and Madame Duport started, Miss
Peyton watched. She saw that when they
had gone some fifty yards down the street
| he got up, glanced over at the honse TO SEE
that no one was looking out aud then went
| off at q rapid step after them.
| THAT girl is right as she usually isl Miss
Peyton said, 81 wish now that we had sem
Jarvis across to ask what he wanted, and tc
threaten to give him in charge of th,
poiioe, but | don't suppose the young
scamp would have minded if / had done
sou
When Constance and her companion got
to the bottom of the street, the former
looked sharply round, the boy was som,
twenty PAGES behind them.
81 should like TO box his ears" she said IT.
Madame Duport, "bu5 suppose 1t would
not do, Annette"
Certainly not, my dear know that sorr
of boy. he would throw himself down or
the floor and yell and get crowd round
you in no time, or perhaps he would be i'm
pudent and take up handful of dirt anC
throw 1t at you. These London street boy
are phe most abusive creatures, and use the
most awful language"
but it is very tiresome. Isuppose there
is nothing TO do, Annette, but to take q
hans om; the first one that comes along we
will get into"
few minutes later an empty hanson
ca ne up.
Drive to Oxford Circus, aud drive quick
please" Constance SAID as she took then
seats.
On arriving at the circus and paying the
cabman, Constance looked round, the boy
was leaning against q lamp post a few yard
Off.
There he is, Annette, how far do 20,
think boy like that coul1 runs"
Annette shook her head, 1t was a matter
beyond her experience.
"A long way, my dear, but do not know
how far; besides, have seen them holding
on behind carriages and getting help thai
way"
"Then it is no use wasting money" Con
stance said.
81 don't think it is, my dear, because
you see, ii he is paid to watch us, very
likely, when he found he couldn't run any
further, he would take a cab, too"
well, we won't think anything morc
about him then It has not taken us many
minutes TO get here, SO we have plenty o.
time to walk down Regent street, anC
along past the National Gallery, and up tn,
3 trand."
