just for a moment our young friend
Maggie, who came Of a race OF sports
men. wondered if it were quite fair not
to tell him who she was BY the tone OF
his voice she knew that he was on the
verge OF making a confidence, and she
decided it as fair She had never pinned
for anything so much in her life as to
get to the real state OF his feelings for
her, "Yes?" she encouraged. by the
way, are you sure we are on the pave
mentz"
AT present, yes. I'm whac&ing the
ratings with my stick. Personally, /
shouldn't be in the least surprised if we
came to the edge of the earth pretty
soon"
The girl gave a gasp. "And we shall

But / don't think your geography can
be quite right. My cabman put me down
in Brook street. / don't think the edge
of the earth is within the four mile
radius"
A misty form doomed under their noses.
Look out" cried Heswel. by Jove,
its man! Iii, sir, can you tell me
where"
'Dont he an IDIOT" was the bronchial
reply, and the figure faded away
Some men are such gentlemcn" said
Heswell Hard with your left!

coming to tea at 4, and find myself at
4:l0 in Berkeley square | take seats
for a theater and agree to dine first at
the Carlton and find myself at the mo-
ment when the curtain is ringing up in
Berkeley square. Oh. yes, this is Berke-

is it," asked Maggie, now quite per-
f6ctlN certain. Don't you think it would
be as well for you to finish confiding in
me? For instance, why do you find your
self so often in Berkeley square? In
short, why Berkeley square?"

angel. Every man has his Berkeley
square"
and every woman has her IDIOT who
