 TAPER, sIR?"
 his left end then halted on the corner with the calm deiiberation of one that views the landscape OCT.
 s.Nell, here I an; but where? An, that is thc question. I wonder. now. if that ragged little urchinwl,oIn see ap- preaching will recognize me? Oh, hc'sa netvsboy; I might buy q paper from him, and tken-'
 Paper, sir?" inquired the diminutivc tatterdcma,icn, drawing near and tl3rusting large local sheet into North's face with u-lblushing coniidcnce; then as he scanned the gcntlcTaan's features more closely, he added with g grin of recognition: ''Yer'fl take . Times. won't yer, Mr. North? Yer alwers does.'
 By Jovc!' thought North, ''evcl the ncwsboys ard ragaInrfsins are mine own familiar q quaintanccs! Who amI, that should thus be public prcpe-ty?''
 He mechanically accepted the paper that was thrust into his hand and ad- dressed the urchin III q sweet persuasive tone:
 My boy, is this Delaplaine street?"
 The aewsboy stared at him in open mouthcd astonishmcrt, and did not an swer until the question had been re- pcatcd with perceptible di1niaution of the persuasive sweetness and a cores bonding accession of authoritative sharpness.
 Yes, sir, it's Delaplaine street. he then said. with a grin; and North, after bestowing handful of niclzels on his small interlocutor, turned away and started slowly ir the direction that the numbers on the houses indicated that he should take.
 The neUsboy gazcd after him for a moment, fully expecting to sec him reel along the pavement CT run into one of the many shade trees CT lamp posts. Disappointed in this cherished hope, cs the gentleman continued calmly on his way with no pcrccptiblc indecision of step. TO difficulty in maintaining his equilibrium, no misunderstanding with the surrounding inanimatc objects, the boy pursued his wcy soliioquizing audibly:
 My eye. If that ere AIr. North ain't queer chap."
 ''Vcry fine street. ran Ncrth's solil- oquoy, as he sauntcred down tho broad pavement of nagstoncs bounded by smcothly-cut grass and tall shade trees on enc side and ornamental iron fences, srcan parterrcs and stately residences on the other. My friend Mrs May nard ;s; undoubtedly something of an ari5toorat. judging frcEl her surround incs. By the way, what does she want with n,c??''
 He stepped short here. as the fact suddenly occurred to him that the lady in question did not want anything of hin. lie laughed aloud in his amuse- mcnt at the thought.
 Gould l bcccrc involved in serious consequences by this masquerading?" he presently asked himself No, don't believe I'm liable. How can I fc? I might be charged with false prctcnses: and yet. what false i prctcnses have I made? By all the tra- diticns cf my family I'm Allan North, ard tk2t is all that I've yet claimed to be- Pcoplcall call zcle by my name az if they nc.cr doubted my right to be thus designated. If there is any man in N-- or elsewhere who has a better right to that name than I have let him bring forward his claim, with vouchers thereof, without delay! True, 1 never was in N. never saw one Of these people before in ny life, b.1t what does all thiS a1tou1t to? l am driven back to my original resolutions 1 will drift little longer. I an sure to come out somewhere. if only c1 the rocks of de ',tTuctioa. Mrs. Maynard is my present hope. We shall sec whether she will set matters straight or co:nplicate them still further .
 He walked on slowly for few moments. glaacing mp at the numbers on the houses until he came to thirty three.
 Pasisi.c with his glorcd hand resting on tl.c iron gate in front of the rcsi- dc-,cc bearing that number, he swept 2 hasty bat critical glance over inc place.
