Kenyon flushed as she said this, but
made no reply.
The coachman looked round as he
came to Holborn, and Miss Longworth
nodded to him, so he went on, without
stopping, up into Oxford street.
"Now, 1 take great interest in your
mine, Mr.. Kenyon, and hope to see you
succeed with it. 1 wish 1 could help
you, or, rather, wish you would be
frank with me, and let me know how I
can help you. know good deal
about city men and their ways, and
think 1 may be able to give you some
good advice, at least, if you will have
the condescension to consult me-"
Again Kenyon flushed. "You arc
making game of me now, Miss Long
worth. OF course, as you said on ship
board, it is but a very small matter"
81 never said any such thing. When
did say that?'
"You said that $4,000 was a small
matter"
"Did I? Well, am like your man who

being too small an amount for my faith

"Yes, think that was it. 1t conveyed
the idea to my mind that you thought

Edith Longworth laughed. What

wonder at your city man forgetting.
Are you sure what you told him did not

"Yes, it happened some time before"
"Ah, 1 thought so. I am afraid it Is

"Oh, am not blaming him at all. A

"No; for my part, I freely accord II
