 There was no false pretense about it. if you remember. What you told me was in conversations: 1 didn't ask you for it. I didn't even make the first ad- vances toward your acqnaintance.'
 But you must admit, Miss Brew ster, that it is very unfair to get man to engage in what he thinks is q private conversation and then to publish what he has said''
 My dear sir, if that were the case, how would we get anything for publi- cation that people didn't want to be known? Why, I remember once, when the secretary of state" "Yes," interrupted Wentworth, ,wcari- ly, Fleming told ne the story" "Oh, did he? Well, I'm sure I'm much obliged to him. Then I need not re- peat it.''
 Do you mean to say that you intend to send to the Argus for publication what have told you in confdence?"
 Certainly. As I said before, that is
 what am here for Besides, there is no in confidence about t.'' And yet you pretend to be truth 1 ful, honest, honorable woman?" ] T don't pretend it, I am."
 "How much truth, then, is there in 1 your story that you are a millionaire's i daughter about to visit your father in | Paris, and accompany him from there 1 to the Eiver.?'
 Miss Brewster laughed brightly. "Oh, I don't call fibs that a person has ! to tell in the way of business ,lntruths."
 ''Then probably you would not call what Mr. J. k. Rivers, of your estinable
 aper, did in Ottawa dishonorable?"
 Well, hardly. I think Rivers was not | justified in what he did, because he was Unsuccessful, that is all. I'll beta dol
 lar if 1 had got hold of those papers they would have gone through to New 1 York; but then J. K. Rivers is only 1 stupid man, and most men are stupid" with a shy glance at Wentworth.
 T am willing to admit that, Miss Brewster, ii you mean me. There never
 was more stupid man than I have
 been.'
 My dear MT. Wentworth, it will do you ever so much good if you come to realization of that fact. The truth is, you take yourself much too seriously.
 Now, it won't hurt you a bit to have
 what I am going to have published in
 the Argus, and it will help me great deal. Just you wait here for few mo-
 ments'' With that she flung her book
 upon his lap, sprang up, and vanished
 down the companionway. In very
 short time she reappeared with some sheets of paper in her hand
 ''Now, you see how fair and honest I , am going to be. I am going to read you ]; what l have written. If there is any
 thing in it that is not true, will very
 gladly cut it out; and if there is any
 thing more to be added, I shall be very
 glad to add it. Isn't that fair?"
 Wentworth was so confounded with
 the woman's impudence that he could make no reply. -A--se>. She began to read: By an unex-
 plained stroke of enterprise, the New
 York Argus is enabled this morning to lay before its readers full and eXclu-
 sive account of the report made by the two English specialists, Mr. George Wentworth and Mir. John Kenyon, who were sent over by the London syndicate
 to examine into the accounts and in-
 quire into the true value of the mines of the Ottawa river" She, looked up from the paper and said, with an air of friend
 ly confidence:
 II shouldn't send that if 1 thought the people at the New York end would know. enough to write it themselves;
 but as the paper is edited by dull mon, and not by sharp woman, I have to make them pay 25 cents word for pufsng their own enterprise. We'll, to go on:

 T wouldn't put it that way" inter-
 rupted Wentworth, in his despair. ''I would use the word largely for entire : ly.'"
 ''Oh, thank you," said Miss Brewster, cordially. She placed the mar u.;ci'ipt on her knee, and with her pencil marked out the word entirely" substituting
 largely" The reading went cn: When it is remembered that tl:e acticn of tie London syndicate vii Gc cpend ! tlerlen, the enterprise of the Argus in , getting this exclusive information. | which will be immediately cahled to , London, may be imagined. Chat is the preliminary, you see; and, as said,
