''Then the best thing to do is to dis

have nothing but the hard cash to take

more easily handled"
THAT is exactly what I have made
up my mind to do, so you had better

he readily answered: Il will push mat

days of happiness TO her. Yet what
| cruel awakening was in store for her!
| They had not been i'll Paris week
when a letter reached tn em from
Eugene, saying that he had not found

| and would not return for few weeks,
but he was very much delighted with
| the great city, and, having met Mr..
Blodger, was having very pleasant
! time of it.
Upon receipt of this discussion took
place as to their next movements, and
it was decided to spend few weeks in
tho south of France. They went to
Nice, and every thing seemed to pro-
gress satisfactorily with them until
about two weeks after their arrival
there, when the newly found husband
grew moody and sullen, and one day,
when Mrs. Breezy fondly asked the
cause, he told her that his affairs in

gained his ends, and ere the sun set
on the following day he was speeding
northward, carrying with him an as

He did not go to Havre, however, for
three days later he was seeking for

That young man was fitting around

/ manner and it was several days before
/ his father found him. When he did at
length discover him he heard with
| pleasure that Mr.. Blodger had just re-
ceived letter from Bournemouth, stat
ing that Mrs Delaro and Armida would
be in London OH the day following.
'sTruly, things are working into my
hands in lucky manner" he thought,
.'but must not let this girl and her
mother see me. Eugene can work bet

known"
On the journey to London he had
stopped over at Paris for a few hours
