For one whole week the young north
erners enjoyed the hospitality OF ther
southern friends, and during these happy
days it might have been noticed that
while Herbert generally paired off with
Sydney or Mrs Temple in their walks
and boating excursions, Fred Ainslie was .
invariably found by the side of Sylvia,
and, to judge by the bearing OF the
singularly attractive pair, no one coulc

Temples desires seemed to be New
York, but he cheerfully stayed for n
few days at Fred's home and made the
acquaintance of his mother and sister,

portunity to see her safely home that
night and renew his acquaintance with
her mother!
Being thoroughly in earnest it did
not take long for young Temple to
make arrangements for entering. the
law Office Of Sharp & Person along
with Herbert, and in the course Of q few
months both Mrs. Ainslie aud Mrs.
Temple removed to New York for good
and Fred once more engaged with the
great firm of Draper & Moore in his
favorite pursuit of selling dry goods.
