CHAPTER III.
Ths .ua ,rd Mr. Ardmore.

The jug md Mr.. Ardmore.
Mr.. Thomas Ardmore OF New York
and Ardsley. having seen his friend
crisw i'd depart. sought a book-shop
where, as in many other book-shops
throughout the United States. he kept
a standing order for any works touch
ing piracy. a subject. which, as al
ready limited, had long afforded him
infinite diversion. He had several
hours to wait for his train to New
Orleans, and he was delighted to find
that the bookseller, whom he had
known only by correspondence. had
just procured for him, through the
dispersion of Georgia planters val
liable library, that exceedingly rare
narrative, THE Golden Galleons of the
Caribbean" by Domingeuz Pascual
"a beautifully bound copy of the orig
inal Madrid edition
With this volume under his arm
Ardmore returned to the hotel where
he was lodged and completed his ar
rangements for leaving. 1t should be
known that Mr.. Thomas Ardmore
was person of democratic tastes and
habits. In his New York house were
two servants whose sole business It
was to keep himself and his wardrobe
presentable; yet he preferred to travel
unattended.
When he had finished packing his
trunk he went down to the dinner he
had ordered to be in readiness at a
certain hour. at a certain table. care
fully chosen beforehand: for Ardmore
was very exacting in such matters
and had an eye to the comforts of
life, as he understood them.
AS he crossed the hotel lobby on his
way to the restaurant he was accosted
by reporter for the Atlanta Palla-
dium, who began to question him
touching various Ardmores who were
just then filling rather more than
their usual amount of space in the
newspapers. Ardmore's family, with
the single exception of his sister.
Mrs. Atchison, bored him immensely.
His two brothers and another sister.
the duchess of Ballywinkle, kept the
family name in display type a great
deal of the time. and their perform
ances had practically driven Thomas
Ardmore from New York. The re-
porter was a well-mannered youth
and Ardmore shook his hand encour-
agingly. He was rather curious to
see what new incident in the family
history was to be the subject of in
QUESTION, and the reporter Immediate
ly set his mind at rest
Pardon me. Mr. Ardmore. but is 1t
true that your sister. the duchess of
Ballywinkle. has separated from the
duke?"
Ardmore hesitated and turned his
head cautiously.
