Il understand" replied Halliburton
gravely. Il shall respect your wish
Peggy" announced Aunt Carolina,
some short time later, to her niece,
"this-this is William Halliburton, our
my cousin, whom 1 mentioned to
you"
Halliburton, who had been standing
somewhat confused, with his eyes
upon the ground made an obeisance.
Then he looked at the girl for the first
time. AS he did so, he started. So
did the girl.
Dear me-" exclaimed Halliburton.
Tin very glad to meet you. Our
people in Hertfordshire so often speak
of you"
The Hon. Peggy smiled. And you"
she said. genially, "do not seem a to-
tai stranger, for singularly enough,
you bear a strong resemblance to a
London girl / know"
Halliburton WINGED, but the girl kept
on. THAT London girl" she said, lis
Miss Mary Witherspoon." Then even
as she had done in London, she turn
ed and went away.
Halliburton, who had brought some
of his luggage down, felt, as he looked
about him upon the old Southdown es-
tate, and as he kept in mind the coun-
tenance of Miss Peggy, that he was
beyond question making his debut into
good society.
The Hon. Peggy was quite as fond
of fun as was Halliburton himself, but
