Tommy, twill YOU be kind enough TO leave
me alone with this good lady whom have
known so longH
IF you wish it. sir, certainly replied
Tommy, looking rather disconnected; "but
perhaps my legal advice would be of service
IN settling any delicate arrangement; other
wise can go upstairs"
"Obligs me by going outside altogether"
said Roche. with rough laugh, who guessed
Tommy must have been liste ing the day
before from what he had said and there
was something in Roche's manner which in

have found out about my lady's youth, and
are trading on it."
And how does he know anything about
my lady's youth, as you call itF'
The ready tears sprang forth in Mrs
Twiss' kindly brown eyes at this aues-
tion.

thing occurred that gave him some idea,
and be persuaded me to tell him about-you
know what-but then, Of course, believed
you TO be dead"
my temperance is very awkward for
my lady, cert iinly," said Roche, with an

ground she treads on; there's no mistake
about Lord Ennismore, for better husband
never breathed.n
Lucky for him that he doesn't know that
be isn't her husband" laughed Roche,

and so, Lorimer, get her to sign that paper,
and pay me the first quarters check, and my
Lady Ennismore L ID not be afraid
