talk. and Miss Bc-lsley usually contrived
TO find some pretext that appeared rea-
sonab BILE for disagreeing from nearly every
thing in the form OF an aphorism that
emanated from Mr.. Singleton.
Thus through long summer afternoons
they rowed toget H-, walked together,
talked together, and danced together,
till at length Miss Berkeley reached the
conclusion that Mr.. Singleton was deriv-
inc rather more satisfaction from her So
ciety than he deserved. She consequent
ly resolved to give him a preliminary
hurl into the abyss OF biighted hopes
lust TO see how he would be likely to look
when the three months were expired and
be had the bon-bons to buy. About this
time Lady Plympton gave ball In honor
Of the homecoming OF her son, Captain
George. who had for several years served
her majesty in a military capacity in In
Ola. Singleton besought OF Miss Berkley
the privilege OF escorting her TO the func-
tion. and il was accorded himj but when
he pesought OF her the further privilege
of inscribing his name on her dancing
card in FIVE or six places, his hopes were
dashed by the intimation that be would
be restricted TO two.
After their first measure they separated.
Miss Berkley was then appropriated by
the hero of the evening, Capt. George
Plympton, whose attentions TO her Tor the
next few hours were conspicuous enough
TO excite comment. IL was also apparent
that Miss Berkley found the young officer
fascinating as he found her, and II was a
mooted question among the speculative
whether or not Miss Berkley had ever
treated man so graciously before.
But where was Singleton3

Colchester; a charming widow, young

OF this widow, public opinion was divid-

"The enterprise is unique, I'll con-

smile on Miss Berkley's lips would in all

that he devoted himself TO Mrs. Col

fairly reveled in the society OF the
other. At last they disappeared. People
wondered, Miss Berkley among them,
what had become OF them. Captain
George alone was without curiosityi he
would not have given a clank OF his
