done their best to spoil him. Strange TO
say, they had not mite succeeded. He
had, it is true, achieved few virtues and
many vices, but there VAS general
wholesOmeness about the lad that sug-
gested possibilities when he arrived at
the years of discretion. At the time Of
writing he was 81, and had never done
a days work in mis- life He had never
indeed, done anything that he had rot
wished to do.
He was perhaps II quest of further
experience in this direction when, in com
pany with a ehum, he dropped in to
afternoon tea at the Criterion restaurant
in Piccadilly Circus
At table in the corner of the hall
sat two girls, one pretty and one more
than pretty. 1t did not take him a frac-
ton of a second to make up his mind to
sit down at the next table where he
could face them His friend was pre-
pared to enjoy the hunt
After casting at them a few admiring
glances in his best style Hugh wondered
now he could approach them lis com
panion, Cyril Humbert, was equally per-
picked 1t was fairly evident that the
ladies themselves were determined to
take no notice. They would not even
take offense
For days afterwerd Hugh haunted the
Cri alone. He could not get the face OF
one of the girls out of his mind. OF one
thing he felt sure-she. was good If
only he could get TO know her he would
marry her. 1t did not occur to him that
there would be any difficulty, that she
might not reciprocate his feelings. and
that she might 1T his favors He
searched for her in vain but he eoulG
not forget her.
1t was six months after the Criterion
incident that he caughc sight OF her
again. His heart gave a great bound,
and he was partly stiIled by emotion.
1t was an experience lie had never felt
before. This time she was ,a0mpaniel
of all men in the wor1 bv man who
looked like a bishop,
Hugh followed them along Regent
street into Pail Mall, where he ran into
the arms of an old school chum.
"Oh, | say, old chap, cried Hugh,
| can you tell me who that churehnan IS
over there, that one with the girl?o
First tell me whether it is the bishop
or the girl you are interested in,a replied
his friend with laugh.
"Oh, say the girl by all means. only
tell me" said Hugh.
why, thought every one knew that
was old Bishop Chudleigh, and if / am
not greatly mistaken that is his lad
daughter. If that is your gane, you
had better go slow ~
Hugh Rendell Alistaire paused on the
pavement and rubbed his chin. He babe
his old schoolmate hurried good bye,
and he watched the bishop and his
granddaughter disappear round the gate
of Marlborough house.
"The granddaughter of bishop"
Hugh kept saying to himself. until, at
length he remarked: 'Why not? | must
know her"
1t was quite easy of man of Hugh's
extensive acquaintance to get an intro
duction to any bishop in the land, but
he wondered on what pretext he could
ask to visit old Chudleigh, who was
known to be both scholarly and devout.
The opportunity came when the bishop
was giving a garden party. which in
cluded a sale of work for charity.
1t was the first time Hugh had at
tended anything of the kind, and he
stuffed his pockets full of gold and notes,
determined to buy everything that GER
tain girl offered to him, if only she were
among the saleswomen,
To his great delight she was one of
the first he saw. He grasped handful
of gold to be ready for all emergencies;
but whether it was the result of accident
or whether Miss Chudleigh recognized
him, and avoided him by design. he could
not say; but it was only after deal of
maneuyering on his part that he came
face to face with her, and she asked him
to buy a pair of sleeve links.
\ little later he met Lady Wellington,
well known for her intelligence and good
works.
Glad to see you here" she said.
Come along and / will introduce you
to Miss Chudleigh. She is a girl who
will do you good. She is as clever as
she is charming"
bought trife from Miss Chudleigh. but
he would like nothing better than a
proper introduction

Wellington when they overlook her. ito

"lou see, teach boys three nights

enlghten him.
All lucky little beggars.@ cried Hugh.

"Nhat!' cried Hugh, DO you mean
