His son thrust his hand into his

mark the date and the postmark-a

Perhaps you had better stay awhile

as he returned Mile. Ninettes choice

Il would advise you to cut art out if

Elsie will be here in a few days

evening. IF you will only get my

shall have a present that will make
Paris talk
81 will do itv' she cried, giving him
both her hands. mot for a present,
but" with a ravishing smile, because
you have made me forget myself as no
Englishman ever did before"
II should like to meet this clever
young Spencer Cross, whose name is in
everybody's mouth" said Elsie Van
Schaick to her father one morning.
His play is such success! All Paris
is talking about the lovely Meissonier
he gave to Mile. Ninette, who created
the principal role. They say it cost
anywhere from %, 900 to $4,000 francs"
"They say she Is madly in love with
him." remarked Mrs. Northwick inno-
Gently.
II should like to meet him." repeat
ed Miss Van Schaick, looking at her
calmly.
do you know anything of him,
Mrs Northwick ?" inquired Papa Van
Schaick. HE is an Englishman and,
suppose, a Londoner."
81 can't say that do" replied Mrs.
Northwick, much. He is quite young
man, and hear that he has lived in
Paris a good deal. They say"-Mrs.
Northwick was a woman who could
impart to her proclamation of an on

rant for arrest-"that he is admirably
connected, though dreadfully poor
the sort of young Englishman who is
likely to marry some"-~
She hesitated awkwardly.
''Most of the clever ones do. be-
neve," Miss Van Schaick interjected
with the blandest promptness. 1.-THE
incest are the poorest, l think. in your
happy tale. Mrs. Northwick."
81 do not see," resumed Mr.. Van
Schaick, with his calm. calculating air,
"how poor young man could give a
Meissonier to a Partisan actress.
Doubtless the price is exaggerated.
Prices always are. But it must have
some intrinsic worth to have made the
woman use her influence to get his
play on, unless, as you say, Mrs.
Northwick. they are very much in love
with each other.''
ooh. really, I didn't say that!
merely repeated what 1 have heard
here since the play was brought out,
that she is in love with him. That is
quite different thing. isn't it?"
