permeating Lord Guys being when he
wakes the next morning that he won
ders for the moment what has hap
pened to him, until the memory Of
last night pours in upon him, and he
realizes that of all the lucky, fortune
/ favored individuals on this terres
trial globe, Lord Guy Kendale is the
luckiestI Lorrie loves him! The
sweetest, the best, the most bewitch

my lord" says Rawlings. glancing at
the crest upon an envelope.
Lord Guy takes it with little
