Kenyon took out a card, wrote the ad-
dress Of Wentworth upon it, and handed 1t
to her.
Thank you" she said. "You see l
deeply sympathized with MIR. Wentworth Tor
what he had to pass through on the
steamer"
He was very grateful for all you did for
him on that OCCASION replied Kenyon.
Il am glad of that. People, as a general
thing are not grateful for what their friends
do for them. l am glad, therefore, that MIR.

mo. it is not; but I am dealing with you
that is, with Mr.. Wentworth-in this mat
ter, and l am sure both of you will do what
is right. Perhaps it would be better not to
tell him who is to furnish the money. Just
say you have met a friend today who offers,
for a reasonable share of the profits, to
supply all the money necessary for the pre-
liminary expenses. You will consult with
him about It, will you not?"
Yes, If it is your wish"
Certainly it is my wish; and l also wish
you to do it so nicely that you will conceal my
name from it more successfully than you con-
cealed my cousins name from me this after

Il am afraid I am very awkward said
John, blushing.
"No, you are very honest, that is all. You
have not become accustomed to the art Of
telling what is not true. Now, this is where
we live. VIII you come in?'
Thank YOU, no; I'm afraid not" said
John. Il must really be going now"

And so John Kenyon, without the price Of
the carriage and horses to his name, drove
in this gorgeous equipage to the under
ground station and took the train for the
city.
As he stepped from the carriage at South
K~ensington, young Longworth came out of
the station on his way home, and was simply
dumfounded to see Kenyon in the Long
worth's carriage.
John passed him without noticing who It
was, and just as the cOachman was going to
start again. Longworth said to him:
Parker, have you been picking up fares in
the street,"
"Oh, no, sir" replied the respectable
Parker, 1.-THE young gentleman as just left
us came up from the city with Miss Long
worth"
Did he. indeed. Where did you pick him
up, Parker?"
I'VE picked him up in Cheapside. sir"
"Ah, very good. I will Just step inside"
and with that, muttering some imprecations
on the cheek of Kenyon, he stepped into the
carriage and drove home.
