Her .little journey was across the.
water. and while on the homeward
bound ship she found herself one day
engaging ia the most aaimatsd fand
pleasing conversation with a man who
sat- near her chair on the deck. There
was something wonderfully pleasing in
bis personality; he was evidently a
person OF culture. and with a wonder
fnl fund Of knowledge ut his COM
mand. His entire bearing toward her,
was one OF such exquisite tact and
deference that the two soon became
warm friends. and spent long hours
each day In exchanging opinions upon
all kinds of impsrsonal topics. by
and by. just before the steamship
reached New York, 1t transpired that
the man. himself still unknown, had
known all along who the lady WAS and
where her home was. When she asked
him In surprise how he could have
known her. he answered briefly, Il
am st. Paul man myself This
gave the kindly little woman an oppor-
tunity. Then my husband and
will be glad to zee you at any time in
our home. she said cordially.
Pardon me, madame. Y be answered
frankly. I'VE have been friends. on
board the steamship. But when we
return to ST. Paul neither you nor
your husband would receive me In
your house. and you would be fully
justified. beg you will NOT ask the
reason"
And she did not. But when few
hours later her husband met her on the
pier. and she pointed her late friend
out 10 him with the whispered story.
he answered slowly: rWell. he has
behaved like gentleman, and / won't
thrash him. But he was quite right in
what he said. He Is one Of the best
known confidence men in the United
