Bisbee daily review., 1906-03-11

"oh, he's not friend" she said so de- cidedly that once again he wondered what it all meant.
 That fellows a cad. anyway" he said 10 himself. And she didp't seem to mind what said"
 And what did you think of his eompan- iong' she asked. after a minutes silence. HessOn shrugged his shoulders without re- plying
 Common. Isn't shegp persisted the girl, with q little sheer that sounded odd in her soft voice.
 Worse than that.'' said Henson briefly. 'l tell you honestly that man who will be seen in broad daylight with a creature like Mamie Clarendon-well. he isn't it to speak to a decent woman. that's alll'
 He stopped and stared out across the river. The girl in pink did not reply, but her sunshade had slipped down between them-whether accidentally or on purpose he could not guess-and for the moment he could not see her face. Could this child ever have been engaged to beast like Isles worthg He stole a look at her left hand. but she had her gloves on, and no rings showed through. When he looked for that boat again 1t was quite close.
 Here they come!' he said, quickly. Now for our little play!"
 When he looked at the girl by his side he was surprised at the change that had come oyc: he=. Her whole face had lighted up, and her manner expressed the most vivid animation. It was either some emotion which he could not fathom, or else the most marvellous piece of acting. and somehow he could not believe that she was only acting a part. With a glance of inVolun- tary admiration, he leaned toward her.
 And So 1t was that, when the boat con- taining Mir Cyril lslesworth and his too conspicuous companion passed slowly through the press of boats before the Athe- na Club. the rowing eye of Mir Cyril fell upon a very pretty picture got up for his especial benefit, though naturally he could scarcely guess that.
 His swarthy face reddened beneath its tan. and he cast vicious glance at the ap- parently unconscious couple above. Lean Ing against the clubs railing. they were en- toying conversation not only exceedingly entertaining. but so intimate that they had boat half hidden in the throng of other craft.
 His brow lowered as the laugh of the girl In pink rang out with delicious merriment. His companion, watching his face with jealous eyes, glanced up quickly. Then she turned round and favored Cyril with .
 
 a frown.
 Doesn't seem to miss you. does sheY' she said with a coarse laugh.
 He turned on her with look that checked even the esubeTance of Miss Mamie Clarendon, and made the occupants of the boats next to them wish themselves safely
 Well, you needn't look so sulky about it" she said in an aggrieyed tone; ''you don't want her, and she don't want you, SC things couldn't be better"
 However, she prudenily avoided his eyes, and watched Henson and the girl in pink furtively from behind the tUmbed frills of her heliotrope sunshaGe till they were out of sight. IL took time and tact to get her cavalier out Of the it of suiky rage into which he had subsided on discovering that his black looks had failed to reach their objects, for the two by the rallings had never east a glance in his direction, much to Miss Mamies relief.
 Though the boat had vanished, Henson and the girl in pink still talked on. The little plot had succeeded through Its abso- lute naturalness, for. as soon as they began to talk to each other, they made the astounding discovery that it was the very easiest thing on earth.
 ''Win you tell me your name, please !'' she s:.h1e said at last, after glance round; should like 10 introduce you very much, If you have no objectiOnF'
 To Henson's relief, Jim Cavendish turned the girl herself. he thought They talked idly for few moments, till she suddenly broke in with a little exclamation.
 My flowers Jim, you wretch, wnere are they :"
 Flowers" "' said Jim guiltily; did l promise to get you some?"
 Why, you went of on purpose to get them. Well, never mind, I don't think I want any now''
 ''I can get you some if you really want them,' he protested eagerly.
 No, thank you,' she said mischieyously, noting his evident anxiety to be of again
 However, Henson observed with delight that the youth still remained restless Ar last he broke out with: "I say. Beatrice. would you mind if left you for a minute or two, as you're not alone now? You see, Fortescue promised to introduce me to some one-well, some one rather particular and l see they've just gone into the tent over there"
 ''Go away, then. you falthless creature" she said, smiling indulgently at him. '.I daresay Mir. Henson win put up with my presence for little longer, but it really soon"
 Before Jack could express his great will ingness young Cavendish had departed, re- x ~ sx sS< y s-s ~ sN s ~ 4. = s..
