Engrrsh people likely to be mentioned
In general conversation.
Richard was possessed OF a retentive
memory, which he now stored full OF
odds and ends which would help him
pass muster. provided, OF course, he did
not run foul Of the initiated. In which
case he shuddered to think OF the pos
sibilities. His alleged sojourn In the
United States. especially his winter in
Texas, accounted In measure for
occasional slips. but even with this In
his favor the position was a trying
one.
There was another feature OF the en-
terprise which troubled him sorely. It
was comparatively easy not TO seem TO
appreciate u joke and 10 intersperse
small talk with few stock phrases
delivered In British drawl. but when
he looked into the eyes OF the woman
he loved he longed with all his heart
to be for once aud all time an Ameri-
can. lie sighed for the sweep OF the
wide free plains, for Il gallop with her

In sizing up his man the astute Bills
had made grave mistake wherein he
found much food for reflection regard
Ing his future line OF conduct. He had
long since learned TO manage his for.

artlhces, but this wide awake Texan.

Michael Corrigan troubled him. This
little fat man was nobody's fool, and
no one could tell what sort of mischief

ing eyes, which, If they continued to
twinkle about the Renwyck place,
would shortly discover many things.
Richard sighed and fiicked the stump
Of his cigarette away. He rose and
was about to pass into the house when
he was met in the doorway by Mr..
Renwyck.
