and left poor Beverly alone with only her
black NANNY Aunt Fanny, for company.
AT this critical moment she became aware
that her road was blocked by strae,

Robert Gordon. The well-manncred and
n agreeable Private Tutor" accepted avery
large order indeed when he contracted to
infnse a little OF his own scn,lenanly
culture into lie personality o.. thr&
wealthy Mr.. Payncs son, Edgar Young
Payne was by nature about us far
from being a gentleman as the mind
can we'll conceive, 1t is not too much
indeed 10 say that he was one OF the
most outrageous and intolcrable young
FOUNDERS that ever broke into a social

may perhaps best express in his own
remarks upon the subject 10 his fathers
old friend.

don't suit, and she won't suit, When
YOU understand that, perhaps you'll quit
Insulting other women who are Just an
good as she Is. Oh, IL there's anything

on airs because others aln't good enough
for en- see?"

speech Edgar was ordered sharply out OF

youth. whose father has s5o,000,O0D "
The bank, can say things that would
not be for moment brooked from a
young sprig Of poverty; but we agree
with Mr. Stanton in thinking that young
