In room Ma - Mias Eleanor Carlysle
WAS sitting q . table. her gold eye
glasses poised airily On her tip tilted
Rose. She was looking over some pages
Of manuscript Miss Cariysle had come
on from Boston q the invitation Of the
Young Ladies' Scienti6c Relief socisty.
She was 20 read an essay that evening on
The Ethics Of Chsrity.- She had been
giving the Amazing touches 10 the essay.
Presently she pat down the last sheet
Of the manuscript and walked TO the
window.
The soubrette and the Boston essayist,
unconscious Of each otLer's presence,
were at that particular moment doing
precisely the same thing. Each was
looking langidly out Of the window. and
each IVES tapping the uill with her fin-
gerA
Just then something occurred. A
young woman who had come suddenly
into view on the opposite side Of the
street from the st. Julien attracted the
attention Of the two young women ct
the hotel windows. She WAS glancing
nervousiy behind her. As she broke
into run and dashed across the street
the soubrette pressed her pretty nose to
the pane To see where she went So did
the essayist. Neither Of them saw. for .

diately beneath.
Miss Carlysls returned to her table
and began TO write letter.
Miss Fabayan had q different impulse
The sunlight had seemed 20 inviting that
she determined to take another walk.
She had inst opened her door when some
one rushing along the hall almost COL
hded with her. The person turned sharp
ly and brnshed past her into her room.
Misc Fabaysn saw ct . glance that 1t
was the young woman whom she had
seen minnts before running across the
street.
