down till shutdown, and then went
home to report the curious behavior
of his young mistress. He received
his discharge upon the spot, and has
been wondering the reason why ever
since
Lady Dives was beside herself with
rage, and consequently Sir John was
furious, and penitent note which ar.
rived next morning, signed "Gwendo-
line Bassidge," only made them the
more vehemently declare that neither
she nor her pauper husband should
ever set foos within their doors again.
This was, of course, very unpleas-
ant for the Divinity for, in spite Of
their cruel opposition, she was really
very fond of her parents. At the
same time she was quite convinced
that her Charley was the best, the
cleverest, the handsomest as well as
the wisest man in existence and had
only to be known to be appreciated by
everyone.
That young gentleman, though per-
fectly aware that he was many de-
grees removed from what she thought
him, began to look upon himself as
rather fine fellow He was also
quite sure that he had a scheme that
would bring the old people to their
senses in no time when so desired.
His past was going to prove useful,
after all. However, he was wise
enough not to let his wife into the
secret Just then,
They spent their honeymoon at
Large Bay, and their affection was
strong enough to color even those aw-
full sandhills the lovellest of rosy hues.
On Tuesday the Ormuz steamed up
to the anchorage, and early Wednes-
day the young couple boarded her for
England, They lay concealed all the
morning in their cabin and during
that time Bassidge told his wife his
secret. !
An hour before sailing Sir John and
Lady Dives came on board and at
one o'clock the vessel weighed anchor
and steamed down the gulf
Lady Dives, after inspecting hen
cabin, examined the passenger list

The Real Embarrassment.

Does it never embarrass you,' we
asked of the Pittsburg millionaire
when you happen to be in position
where you have to introduce your wife
to one of your ex-wives?"
Not very much" he replied. "The
really embarrassing moments are

Something she saw there must have
pleased her, for she closed her pince-

muring: Really, how very pleasant"
Then they strolled down the promen-
ade deck together, and turning the
corner of the smoking-room were con.
fronted by the two delinquents.
"The Divinity" looked surprisingly
sweet In white costume, fastened at
the waist with broad antique-silver
buckle, large white hat, and the
daintiest of tan shoes imaginable.
Even the graceless Bassidge looked
the picture of honest English manli-
ness.
The elder couple looked paralyzed

ward meeting Fortunately, however,
no other passengers were present.
Lady Dives was the first to recover,
and she addressed herself to her
daughter.

said, "how dare you to play US this,

The graceless one interposed, and
