fee day or two ago, and at that time,
not having given tie subject much
thought, could not give him any en-
enlargement; but 1 have been ponder
ing over i. since, and have almost con-
Guided to help them. What do you
think abou. it?-
"Oh. l think IT would be an excellent
plan. 1 am sure the property is good
one, or John Kenyon would have
nothing to do with it. 1 shall write L
note to them. if you think it best, in
viting them up here to talk to you
about it,
.'Oh. that will not be necessary at ali.
L do not want people to come here to
talk business. Ny Office is the proper
place.
Still. we met them in a friendly way
on board the steamer, and l think it
would be nice if they would come here
some evening and talk over the matter
with you"
4 don't believe in introducing bust
ness into persons home. This would
be purely business conversation. and
It may as well take place at my Office,
or at Wentworth's. if he has one, as
suppose he has"
''Oh, certainly: his address is"
''Oh. you know it. do you?"
Edith blushed as she realized what
she had said: then she remarked: rs
there any harm in my knowing the
business address of Mr.. Wentworth -
oh. not at all-not at all. 1 merely
wondered how you happened to know,
his address when l didn't"
We'll, it doesn't matter how I know
It. 1 am glad you are going to join
him. and am sure you will be success
full. VIII you see them tomorrow"
4 think so. I shall call on Went
worth and have talk with him about
it. OF course we may not be able to
come to a workable arrangement. II
not, it really does not so very much
matter. But if 1 can make satisfactory
terms with them. will help them to
form their company
When Edith went to her room she
wrote a note. It was addressed to
George Wentworth in the city, but
above that address was the name of
John Kenyon. She said:
DEAR Mr. KENYON: I felt certain at
the time you spoke. although 1 said nothing
of it. that my cousin was not so much at
fault in forgetting his conversation as you
thought. we had a talk tonight about
the mine. and when he calls upon you to-
morrow. as he intends to do. 7 want you
10 know that l said nothing whatever to
him about what you said TO me. He men,
toned the subject first. l wanted you to
know this. because you might feel embar
raised when you met him, by thinking
had sent him to you. That is not at AL
the case. He goes to you of his own &C
cord. and l m sure you VIII find his assist
2nce in forming company very valuable.
I am glad to think you Will be partners.
Yours very truly, EDITH LoNGwORTH."
She gave this letter to her maid to
post. and young Longworth met the
maid in the hall with the letter in her
hand. He somehow suspected. after the
foregoing conversation, to whom the
letter was addressed.
Where are you going with that?"
TO the post, sir.
Il am going out: to save you the
trouble, L will take it,
After passing the corner, he looked at
the address on the envelope: then he
swore to himself a little. If he had
been a villain in play he would have
opened the letter; but he did not. He
merely dropped it into the first pillar
box he came to. and in due time it
reached John Kenyon.
