a very long story. There was a lot of
trouble During Sherman's attentions.

perfect avalanche of distress when
Isabel declared that she would mar
ry him Willy nilly. The truth Is that
Mr. and Mrs. Reese wanted their
daughter to marry to suit them instead
Of herself
III take you to the sources of the
Nile" said Mr.. Reese, III 1t is neces-
sary to get you away from this whip
per-snapper."
Now, Dexter Sherman was no whip
per-snapper. If he had been, he might
have been easily discouraged, thus
avoiding the necessity of taking lisa bel
abroad When he learned from her
that the Reese family were preparing
to sail for Europe he made known his
own preparations to do likewise. Isa-
bel gave him clew to their route,
and he followed on the next steamer.
But the foxy papa had purposely given
his daughter route to mislead her
lover, intending to change 1t as soon
as they reached foreign shores. When
Sherman supposed they were at Nice,
they were at Dresden. When he sup
posed they were at st. Petersburg,
they were In Paris However, he had
taken certain precaution to give Isa
bel certain addresses where he could
be found, with instructions to mail him
duplicate or triplicate letters, as the
case might require, and it was not
long before one Of these missiyes in
formed him that the Reese party were
in Florence, Italy.
He knew that the parents would keep
sharp watch over their daughter and
not permit her to stay away from them
long enough for anyone to communi-
cate with her secretly. Isabel had
warned him not to write her, as she
was not permitted to receive letters
that had not been inspected. All he
could do was to take up his abode IN
Florence and walt an opportunity.

Reeses was In one of the galleries OF
pictures and statuary with which Flor

so suddenly that he had only time to
change his direction, dart down side
corridor and out of the building. Luck
lily he was not discovered by the par
ents, nor did Isabel see him. Then he
came upon them strolllng by the river
Arno, but this time they were suffi-
clently distant TO enable him to beat an
easy retreat. After these two meet
ngs he began TO fear that he would |
surely run against them without an |
opportunity to escape. If he did, the
daughter would be taken away and
watched so carefully that she might |
not be able to give II new address.
