Monty himself. and they took their
places at table.
Before the evening came to an end
they were in possession of many aston
ishing details in connection with the
coming ball. Monty did not say that 1t
was to be given for Miss Drew. and
her name was conspicuously absent
from his descriptions. As he unfolded
his plans even the Little Sons, who
were imaginative by instinct and reck-
less on principle, could not be quite
acquiescent.
hopper Harrison solomnly expressed
the opinion that the ball would cost
Brewster at least $125.0O0 The Little
Sons looked at one another in con-
