MIR. Anderson Bolton as he sat in his
cab and watched the throngs on the
sidewalk jostling each other beneath
the garish lights. 1t Is true that while
he was dressing that evening it had
pricked him with n little pain to reflect
that he was preparing for the last dance
OF the season. But he quickly recovered
his equanlmity by assuring himself
that in all human probability he would
i've to see many more social seasons.
And what IL all the women of his ac-
quaintance were going away? They

ed than the migration Of society. In
the meantime New York was not
at all bad place to stay in; so

MIR. Bolton reckoned 1t appreciably high
er than the idle monotony of the coun-
try. For Mr.. Bolton was an active
young man, fond OF his pleasure, but
also fond of his work. He was healthy
wealthy, and according TO his standard,
wise. And he was growing wiser and
wealthier every day. His business was

there had been no sound other than the

breaking on the rocks; no one to see
them but the silent sympathetic stars.

rocked gently her profile had been
brought against THE faint starlight, and
1t was as the face of an angel. II is not

so? Is not the divine essence of the
universe most intimately felt in the dim

Anderson Bolton dad not generalize his
thoughts IN this manner, however His
only generalization was to the effect that
there was mo woman In the world to COM
