CHAPTER XXU,

S4i-AA LII Anil
The stormy interview with Went
worth disturbed the usual serenity Of
Mr.. Longworth's temper. He went
home earlier than was customary with
him that night, and the more he
thought over the attack, the more un-
iustifiable it seemed. He wondered
what his nephew had been at, and tried
TO remember what Wentworth had
charged against him. He could not rec
ollect, the angrier portions of the in
terview having, as il were, blotted the
charges from his mind. There re-
mained, however, a bitter resentment
against Wentworth. Mr.. Longworth
searched his conscience to see If he
could be in the least to blame, but he
found nothing in the recollection of
his dealings with the young men to
Justify him in feeling at all response
BILE for the disaster that had overtaken
them. He read his favorite evening
paper with less than his usual in
terest, for every now and then the
episode in his Office would crop up in
his mind. Finally he said sharply:
"Edith?"
"Yes, father" answered his daugh-
ter.
"You remember person named
Wentworth whom you had here the
evening William went away?"
"Yes, father"
"Very well. Never invite him to this
house again"
What has he been doing?" asked the
young woman, in q rather tremulous
voice.
81 desire you never to ask anyone
connected with him, that man Kenyon,
for instance continued her father, ig-
noring her question.
II thought" she answered, that
Mr.. Kenyon was not in this country at
present"
''He is not, but he will be back again,
suppose. At any rate l wish to have
nothing more to do with those people.
You understand that?"
"Yes, father"
Mr.. I.ongworth went on with his
reading. Edith saw that her. father
was greatly disturbed, and she much
desired to know what the reason was,

he bade her good-by.

81 do not think he would do that.
Still, imagine he would think there

"Quite- If that message does not

pulled the telegram forms toward him,
and after considerable labor managed
to concoct a dispatch that seemed to
satisfy him.

young lady. "Be sure and make 1t
plain to him."
81 think that will do: don't your"
eyes, she answered, after reading
the dispatch, that will do"
"Now," she said, "here is the check.
L will wait here while you do all that is
necessary to cable the money, or had

"If you don't mind, just sit where

AMERICAN GIRLS LEAD.


They Are the Best Skaters In the World.
Says an Expert.
A two years visit to Europe spent in
study of the methods of skating in Eng
land and France has served to con-
vince me that the American girls are
the most graceful skaters in the world.
One of the essential rules of the Eng
lish school is to skate with straight
knee" and this surely teaches ungrace-
funess. But while the men cling to
this old school rule the women Of Eng
land, I ann glad to say, have abandoned
1t to such an extent that to-day there
are many graceful skaters among the
fair sex there. Notwithstanding this
rigid style, Englishmen execute their
movements on so grand scale that they
obtain a sensation akin to that of flying.
Their strokes certainly excite the adj
miration of those who see them appar-
entity floating at will, gliding at times
the entire length of the rink on one
stroke, only to return again or branch
off in another direction by executing
rocker" lrocking turnl or bracket"
or, perhaps, the simple "three."
Hand-in-hand and combined" skating
are now much In vogue in Europe.
After clasping hands one of two skaters
starts backward on the ordinary 'cross
roll" while the partner follows with for
ward strokes. On the third stroke the
one going forward completes circle,
still followed by the other. Another
snowy movement is the combined
grapevine" Two persons, passing each
other, join hands. One starts the grape.
vine, leading with the left foot forward;
the other starts with the right foot for
ward; thus both skaters are forced side
ways along the ice.
Other movements are in the vogue"
"seagull," "opera swing" and "Qs," but
the most attractive of all is the waltz
on skates. I have seen many couples
gracefully waltzing at once and giving
the rink the appearance of q ballroom.
One of the most graceful women
skaters in Europe is Lady Randolph
Churchill. She learned to skate in New
York, and now executes long, graceful
sweeps and curves which vastly im1
prove her skating. Others noted for
their grace on the ice are the countess
of Mimic, Mrs. w. Fl. Grenfell, Miss May
Balfour, Honorable Mrs. Agernon Gros-
venor, the marchioness of Dufferin and
Ava, Lady Archibald Campbell, Mrs,
Cannon, Nine. Girard, Lady Rivers-Wil-
SON, the Misses Lewis, daughters OF Sir
George Lewis, and Lady Northcote.
The American women are truly the
most graceful skaters In the world, but
/ must add that owing to the small
scale ON which their figures are exe-
cuted their movements in fancy skating
are not worthy of praise as their Eng
lish cousins, who until lately have been
handicapped by dearth of ice.-George
MeaQlaer, In N. Y. World.
