Cabinet Theater Royal.
''Notice-In consequence of severe
indisposition, Miss Finetta will not
play this evening"
With an exclamation which is very
near an oath, he filings the paper from
him and walks on; and as he goes
around the base of the tower, he is
almost run into by one of the gentle
men whom Leslie saw with the dark
young lady of the song.
They both stop short and stare,
when the newcomer exclaims, with a
laugh:
"Halloo, Auchester! Well, I'm"
HUSH Be quiet!" says Yorke, al
most sternly, and with an upward
glance
"Eh?" says the other. whats the
matter? Who the duce would have
matter? Who the duce would have
expected to see you here?"
81 might say the same" retorts
Yorke, with about as mirthless
smile as it is possible to imagine
How did you come here?"
why, by boat" responded the
other. Didn't l tell you so? What
have you done with my nags?"
They are all right" says Yorke
Come this way, will YOU? Keep close
to the tower, if you don't mind"
The young fellow follows him, with
half-amused, haff-puzzled air.
What's it all mean? Why this
mystery, my dear boy?"
Yorke having got him out of sight
and hearing of the three on the
tower, faces him, and instead of re-
plying to the question, puts another.
What that Finetta with you just
now Vinson?"
Eyes, of course it was. Didn't you
see her-know herr"
Eyes. What is she doing here?
How did she come herewith your,
ssThe simplest thing in the world.
After you'd left me this morning,
was wondering who / should hunt up
to go for sail, when saw her com
ing down the street. You might hav
knocked me down with feather
Il dare say. Wen?"
Lord Vinson looks rather aggrieveo
at being cut so short, but goes on,
contemporary enough.
She spotted me at once, and the
first question she asked me was, had
I seen YOU
'.Well?" demands Yorke, as CURLY
as before.
We'll, l didn't know what to say
perhaps you wouldn't care for her to
know
A faint expression OF relief fits
across Yorke'e face, but it disappears
at WILSON'S next words.
"She saw me hesitate, and, OF
course, knew 1 had seen you. It's
no use you playing it low down on
me, my dear boy she said, laughing
you know her way-'you couldn't de-
ceive a two-month-old calf, even il
you tried. You've seen him, and he's
somewhere 1t was no use trying to
deceive her, as she said, and | had to
own up that had seen you this morn
ing, and-and that you'd borrow my
break"
"She took it very well-she did in
deed. She only laughed, and said she
knew you had left town for some
fishing; and being sick of London her
self, she sent in a certificate to say
she was down with low or high, or
some kind of fever, forgot which,
and had run down here for a bit OF
holiday, with her brother, or uncle, |
forget which it is
ooh, it's all right" says Lord
Vinson. They've gone on to the inn
I came back for my stick. There it is.
Well, I thought the best thing L could
do was to ask. them to come for a
sail, and it took her ladyship's fancy,
and-her we are, don't you know"
Look here, Auchester, I see what
it is: you don't want to run against
her just now. Got friends up there,
eh' and he mods his head in the
direction Of the tower.
mo l do not want to see her, and
| certainly don't want her to see me,
assents Yorke. eff you can manage
to take her away, Vinson-"
He lays his hand on the young fel-
lows shoulder, and Vinson, who is
never so delighted as when doing a
service for his friend, mods Intelligent
ly.
81 see; all right. You leave it to
me-" He pulls out his watch. 8 III
get her away at once. In fact, it's
time we started. Don't you be I'M
easy"
Thanks When does she go back?'
Tonight She plays tomorrow"
of with you, then" he says. m
awfTlly obliged to you Vinson. You
were right. I don't want the people
am with to see her."
mo, my dear boy, I'm not going tc
introduce you," says Yorke with =
simle. 'T'm too anxious to be rid OF
you-and her. See them safe or
