IL the two girls arrived there.
They had gone direct to New York,
and 1t required the seven days to find
fat that suited them, of which they
were to take possession on the list OF
October. Then there were the lawyers
to see, great many business details to
settle and an architect to consult. Aft
er leaving New York the girls spent a
day at Haverstock. where Dorothy
Amhurst bought a piece of land as
shrewdly rs ie she had been In the
real estate business all her life. After
this transaction the girls drove TO the
station on the line connecting with the
inclined railway and so, as katherine
remarked, were waited to the skies
on howery beds OF ease" which she
explained to her shocked companion
was all right because 1t was a quota
ton from hymn. When at last they
reached their hotel. Katherine was in
ecstasies.

"And, indeed, 1t ought to be. for I'M
derstand we are 5000 feet higher than
we We're in New York, and even the
skyscrapers can't compete with such
an altitude"
The broad valley OF the Hudson lay
spread beneath them. stretching as far
as TIE eve could see. shinmering in
the thin, blush veil of a summer
evening. and miles away the river Il.
self could be traced like a silver rib
bon.
The gallant captain, who had been
energeticalIy browbeaten by his young
er daughter and threatened with divers
pains and penalties should he fail to
pay attention and take heed to instruc-
tons, had acquitted himself with eclat
in the selection Of rooms for Dorothy
and his daughter. The suit was stu
ated In one corner OF the huge cara
vansary. a large parlor occupying the
angle, with windows on one side look
! ing into the forest and ON the other
! giving an extended view across the
valley. The front room adjoining the
parlor was to be Dorothy's very own,
and the end room belonged to Rather
Inc, he said. as long as she behaved
herself. II Dorothy ever wished to
eyict her strenuous neighbor, all she
had to do was to call upon the captain,
and he would lend his aid, at which
prefer Of assistance Katherine tossed
her head and said she would try the
room for a week and If she didn't like
1t out Dorothy would have to go.
There followed days and nights Of
revelryA hops, concerts, entertainments
Of all sorts, with a more pretentious
ball on Saturday night, when the
week tired man from New York ar
rived in the afternoon to find temper

way. did Dorothy. After the func-
tons were over the girls enjoyed a
comforting chat with one another in
their drawing room. all windows open,
and the moon a-shining down over the
luminous valley. which 1t seemed to
I'LL with mother of pearl dust.
