Langdon was the name of the English
actor to whom Jack had sent his play, aud

lied that it was his own comedy she was
reading.

city was ahlaze with lights The

itself seemed light hearted. The MASSIVE
mansions that surround Gramercy Park
were brightly lighted.

him, except that he was thriftless. In.
dolent genius When his father died the
fortune that might have gone to him had
endowed certain wealthy charitable in
stitutions. His mother had died in his
infancy. and Jack FlemiaE had grown up
with the servants and his books for com
panions. He had never seen enough Gt
his father to love him. In his childlo0i
Jack had had one friend. Dora Goldrh-
wait, She was a beautiful girl, several
years his junior, who lived in the house
adjoining his fathers. aud every day one
or the other would climb the fence that
separated them and drop over into the
little yard for romp. Dora was proud
of her protector and playmate. for even
then Jack was full Of book knowledge,
and Dora soon learned to love Shakespeare
and Milton as read aloud by her hero.
Another great tramping place for the
little people was Gramercy Park, for both
houses faced the handsome playground
