T hardly l:nOw. out 1 think we are getting on very we'll, indeed. You know, of course, that your cousin is go- ing to America to report upon the mine. As I have stated nothing but what is perfectly true about the prop erty, there can be no question as to what that report will be, so it seems to me everything is going on nicely"
 ''Why do you not go to America? ?"
 "Ah! well, I am an interested party, and those who are thinking of going with us have my report already. It is necessary to corroborate that. When it is corroborated I expect we shall have no trouble in forming a com pany.'
 And was William chosen by those men to go to Canada?"
 ''He was not exactly chosen; he vol unteered. Mir. Melville, here, was the one who was chosen"
 And why Mr. Melville, more than you, for instance?"
 'Well. as I said, am out of the ques- ton because 1 am an interested party. Melville is a man connected with china IL, expert"
 ''Is Mr. Melville friend of yours?''
 ''No, he is not. I never saw him until he came to the mceting."
 Do you know, she said, lowering her voice and bending toward him, that l do not like Mr. Melville's face?'
 Kenyon glanced at Melville, who was 1a N+b b,,,- <l <>f tl,n, |, went on: ''You must not look at people when 1 mention them in that way, or they will know we are talking about them. l do not like his face. He is too handsome a man, and don't like hand- some men,"
 Don't you, really?" said John. ''Then you ought to-" Edith laughed softly, a low, musical laugh that was not heard above the piano din, and was intended for John alone, and to his ears it was the sweetest music he ha;l ever heard.
 ''i know what you were going to say, y she said; you were going to say that in that case l ought to like you. Well, 1 do; that is why l am taking such an interest in your mine, and in your friend, Mir. Wentworth. And so my cousin volunteered to go to Canada Now, I think you ought to go your self"
 "Why?" said Kenyon, startled that she should have touched the point that had been discussed between Wentwor ortl and himself.
 ''I can only give you woman's ren son, because 1 do.' It seems to me you ought to be there to know what they report at the time they do report Perhaps they won't understand the mine without your explanation, and ! then, you sec, an adverse report might come back in perfect good faith. l think you ought to go to America, Alr. Kenyon"
 That is just what George Wentworth says
 Docs he? 1 always thought he was q very sensible young man, and now am sure of it. Well, 1 must not stay here gossiping with you on business I see the professor is going to finish and so l shall nave to look after my other guests. If I don't see you again this evening, or have another oppor tunity of speaking with you, think over what 1 have said.H And then, with the most charming hypocrisy, the young woman thanked the professor for the music to which she had not listened il the least.
 Well, how did you enjoy yourself. y said Wentw worth, when they had got outside again. It was a clear, star light night, and they had resolved t. walk home together.
 II enjoyed myself very well, indeed, answered Kenyon; much better thar I expected. It was a little awkward al first, but l got over that
 Il noticed you did-with help.'
 "Yes, with help"
 'If you are inclined to rave, John now that we are under the stars, re member I am a close confidant and ; sympathetic listener. 1 should like f, hear you rave, just to learn how an eA asperatingly sensible man acts unde1 the mania"
 Il shall not rave about anything George, but 1 will tell you something l am going to Canada"
 "Ah.did she speak about that?''
 ''She did"
 And, of course, her advice at onc' decides the matter, after my mos cogent arguments have failed.'' Don't be offended, George, butt does'
