last day on the sic mer.
How are YOU, Nr. Kenyon" said Edith
Longworth brightly, holding out her hand to
the young man by he carriage. Will you
not step iny wan TO talk with you. and
| am afraid the police will not allow us to
block such a crowde, thoroughfare as Cheap
side" Co..
As she said this tie nlmble footman threw
open the door of tie carriage, while John,
not knowing what Il say, stepped inside and
took his seat.
"Holborn," said TIE young woman to the
coachman; then, turning to Kenyon, she con-
gong. so mat ma, know where to set you

wrong with the MICA mine, and, with a
woman.s curiosity, wanted 70 know all
about 1t. Now tell me"
There Is really very little 10 tell. We
have hardly begun yet. Wentworth is today
looking over the figures I gave him, and |
have been making a beginning by seeing
some people who, Thought, might be inter-
ested in the mine"
"And were they?'
mo; they were not"
''Then that was the reason you were look
ing so distressed"
II suppose 1t was"
"Well. now. Mr.. Kenyon, II you get dis
couraged after an interview with the first
person you think VIII be interested in the
mine, what will you do when a dozen or
more people refuse to have anything to do
with it?"
I'm sure I don't know. I am afraid l am
not the right person to float a mine on the
s L0nd S6a @ Gatis1 ! az really aly m a stq 0f saieS yog
| know what !. am about when | am in a
mine, miles away from civilization; but when
| get among men | feel somehow at a loss.
l do not understand them. When a man tells
me one thing today, and tomorrow calmly
forgets all about il, l confess it-well-con-
fuses me-
Then the man you have seen today has
forgotten what he told you yesterday. Is
that the case?"
Yes; that is partly the case
But, Mr.. Kenyon, the success Of your
project is not going to depend upon what
one man says, or tIo, or three, is it?"
"No; | don't suppose II is"
Then, If | were you, ! would not feel dis
COuraged because one man has forgotten. |
wish | were acquainted with your one man
and l would make him ashamed Of himself,
| think"
Kenyon flushed as she said this, but made
no reply.
The coachman looked around as he came to
Holborn, ana MISS LqhgWorth nodded TO MN.

the condescensieR 10 consult me-
Again Kenyon hushed. You are making
game OF me now, MISS or
course, as you said on shlpboard, 1t is but a
very small matter
81 never said any SUCH thing. When did
say that
You said that foOFDO was a small matter.
"Did |? WelI,lla am like your man who has
forgotten; l have forgotten that. l remember
saying something about its being too small an
amount for my tathe to deal with. Was not

81 can imagine that. In fact, I think no
one could be a more undesirable acquaintance
than a man who forgets today what he prom
ised yesterday, especially il anything particu-
lar depended upon it. Now, why cannot you
come to our house some evening and have a
talk about the mine with my cousin or my
father? NV father could give You much valu-
able advice in reference to il. and | am anxious

How can you say that? Did he not dis

Yes, we had some conversation about it
there, but I imagine that really do not
think he would care to 20 any farther with
it,"
