friend. She listened politely to all the
workman said, asking him many ques-
tons. Indeed so infinitely did she look
into everything that Lady Gwendolin
snapped:
"Well, if you want to make a foun-
dry woman of yourself, I'm going to
sit here and wait till you get through
She threw herself on bench, raising
her skirts SO as not to come In contact
with the cinder floor, and waited impa-
tiently for the end Of the inspection.
When Lucy Kennerly could find moth

conductor with her sweetest smile, and
the two ladies left the foundry.

Lady Gwendolin, how could you be 50

Il found him perfectly familiar with
the manufacturing processes, and all
such things interest me-" replied the
other.
Lady Gwendolin's American trip was
a failure. She received a number Of
bites, but there were no fortunes
among them, and nothing except
fortune would avail. She went back
to England protesting that she would
rather marry government clerk thap
an American. The latter had no re-

selves to active business instead OF be-

The fellow travellers failed to see
much OF each other for some months
after their return. Then one day Miss
Kennerly wrote Lady Gwendolin an
nouncing her engagement and asking
her friend to oficiate at the wedding.
1t must come off at once, since she was
to marry one Of those busy Americans
who couldn't spare enough time even
to consummatse their marriages prop
erly. Miss Kennerly wrote an illegible
hand and the recipient Of the note
could not make out the g-oom's name.
Lady Gwendolln had noticed while in
America the attentions OF a poor So
ciety man to her friend and had warn
ed Lucy against him
On the day Of the wedding Lady
Gwendolin drove up to Hawoth, the
seat of Miss Kennerly's father, and
was met at the porte cochere by her
friend and her friends fance. He was
not Mr.. Fox. But who was he2 His
face was familiar. though she could
not place him. Miss Kennerly was
evidently enjoying her confusion.
"Don't you remember the workman
who showed us through the Mix COM

he-Mr. Mix, the son OF the president.
He was learning the business, with a
view to fitting himself to manage It."
Lady Gwendolin stood petrifled; not

could bring a responsive expression to

Lady Gwendolln had friend. Lucy
Kennerly, also member Of titled
family, who was DESTROYS Of seeing the
world. Lady Gwendolin, who was
nearly thirty, brought it about that the
two should visit America together.
Lacy Kennerly preferred Egypt, but
since her friends mind was set on
America she consented. Had she
known the object Of the visit she would
not likely have been so complainant.
The two ladies' brought with them in
troductory letters. Lady Gwendolln,

foresight secured number ID people
OF the commercial and manufacturing
classes. Her object was to leave society
men out Of her calculations, rather d.

an invitation to visit the owner and
