it had not been a pleasant scene; but
before night everybody in the hotel
knew of it, of course.
Mrs. Mason had not appeared at lun-

proud and stately as ever; but there
were circles about her eyes and lines
about her mouth that had not been
there before.

saw and heard nothing. She sat as if
carved from stone: but the heaviness OF
her heart was almost beyond bearing.
The next morning Mrs. Mason was
sitting alone On n Of the benches on
the board walk. She had gone up to
Eighth avenue that she might avoid the
crowd. The water was cold and there
was a heavy sea on. and fewer bathers
than usual were in the surf. BY ant
by even those few came in, hurryins
to the bath house or sitting on thu
sands, cold and shivering.
Suddenly there was a cry for help

son was not the ordinary sort OF a sea-
shore visitor. and to her Miss Birdie
Maloney was not quite the ordinary
summer girl. Rather was she a siren
who was likely to get her son into all
manner Of trouble. if h didn't go the
extreme length Of actually marrying
him.
Mrs. Mason was a lady and she could
not help showing it. But also she could
not help showing just a shade more
haushtiuess of ann than usual when
she passed Miss Birdie and her snappy,
ticket-punching aunt in the hotel cor
ridors or on the board walk, inc there
was a spirit of perversity in the girl
that made her toss her yellow head
more saucily at such times and smack
her pretty sum-chewing lips more audi

developing. There was getting a little

A INNER GIRL.

in a furtiye sort of way. In fact, it
might have been called a rude sort OF
way if it had been anybody else Due
Mrs. Mason. widow of the late Col.
Hannibal Mason. of the United states
army. That interesting fact. in addl-
ton to her own excellent pedigree as
one of the Baltimore Stanleys, pre-
vented Mrs. Mason's doing anything
rude, Of course. though she had been
sitting on the hotel gallery for quite an
hour, with her embroidery hoops in
her lap. looking over her glasses at

sat side by side, leaning over the BANS

was Il ~well-known summer type. There
were tints about the roots Of the yellow
hair that gave evidence of Il prchlS'

her glasses far out to sea.

Miss Birdie was twirling the diamond
on his little finger. 1t had been his
mothers ring. But Il moment later he
had slipped it off, and when they got
back to the hotel that night it was Miss
BRIDES finger and not his that wore it.

her chair back with dOwncast eyes. n

quite innocent and almost sweet, she
