Standing on the pier Russell be-
thought him of the old superstition that
it is unlucl1y to watch q person out o.
sight" be reflected that the saying is
especially true when the watcher has
great deal Of business on hand and very
little time for it. That was his own case
exactly, SO he waved an adieu to his
friend and FASTENED up the pier.
1t will be useless to defend Russell
from the readers suspicion that he had
not dealt frankly with his friend. If
be had said: Eyes; shall be pleased to
make Miss Rays acquaintance, but l
shall be forty times more delighted to
. make her fathers acquaintance" he
would have given a much more correct
impression Of his thoughts. He had q
confused idea that money must sur
round millionaire, even as the vapor
of matter surrounds the nucleus of a
nebula. 1t was possible that the outer
most edges of this golden mist would be
somewhat attenuated, but he believed
that it would harden into dollars eyentu-
ally.
To do him justice, it must be said that
Miss Ray, personally, did not figure in
his vague plans. He would have jumped
of the pier sooner than have enter
tanned the thought OF winning her af-
feotions, or even her good will, for such
q purpose. He did not expect to see her
quaintance, in itself, would be source
of pleasure to either. The meeting of
two people who have heard each others
praises from a mutual friend is usually
enough to estrange the whole three.
But the affair interested him and
raised his spirits. Monotony is the
father of s'blue devils" but novelty be-
gets hope. Russell was in cheerful
and a smiling humor, and he wore the
mask Of prosperity. Perhaps this was
the reason why he had no difficulty in
obtaining loan of five dollars from an
acquaintance; for the right hand Of
assistance is always outstretched to
those who are not in need. He reserved
portion of this sum for the payment Of
The small debts contracted on the pre-
vious day; and expended little in the
purchase of some visiting cards, which he
was fortunate enough TO get engraved
that same afternoon.
Then he exhumed Browns dress suit
The idea of wearing another mans
clothes was not pleasant, especially when
it was complicated with the fear that
they might be recognized; but the
thought of their usefulness triumphed
and he took them home. The suit fitted
him like his epidermis- He thought
with pride that it could not possibly
have looked 30 we'll on Brown. There

1t was . SON Of Erin who said that .

pected, and be never thought it would.
This luminous remark admirably de-
scribes Russell's impressionsof Miss Ray
after half hours conversation. Browns
words had made picture Of her in his
mind. and yet he had known that 1t WAS
not . likeness. In the f;rst place, he
found her much prettier than he had ex-
pected-
Physical beauty was to him . moro
considerable matter than TO Brown; and
his preference "a 20 types was strongly
in favor of the blonde. Miss Ray had
an abundance Of wavy. light hair, and.
one might almost say, an abundance Of
blue eyes, too. for they were very large.
and she had habit Of opening them
like an astonished child. Doubtless,
thought Russell this Is what has given
Brown the impression that she doe<nt
know much. Then she had none of the
modern articles to conceal soant
enlightenment. The wellinformed
woman now Adays Is she who can skill
