evinced considerable interest in what
was shown her, taking up laces and
examining them with critical eye.
Taking up fine piece of valen-
ciennes, she said something to the pro-
prietor, who was showing her through
his establishment, which called forth
a protest from him.
"You are mistaken, Nine. Wether-
ELL" he said. THAT is the finest quail
ity OF its kind. l can prove it to you
by this gentleman. This Is NJ. Run
MON, who imports as much lace every
year as any merchant in New York"
Runnion confirmed the proprietor's
opinion as to the quality of the lace,
and being attracted by the graceful
figure and languishing eyes Of Miss
'Wetherell proceeded with them in their
inspection Of the premises. 1t was ap-
parently to them simply matter Of
sightseeing. for neither of the ladies
bought any lace and the younger one
wore the bored expression of one who
has for months been occupied with
visiting European curiosities. Runnion
walked beside her. chatting with her
in desultory way. There was moth
ing remarkable in what she said, but
her voice was melodiOus.
1t is strange that Americans who
might at home know each other casu-
ally for years without getting any near
er together will when abroad become
friends on the slightest provocation.
Within an hour in the French lace fac
tory Runnion and the Wetherells be-
came more intimate than II they had
known one another Il year In America.
When they were making their exit the
mother dropped behind to hold con-
versation with the proprietor, while
Runnion and the daughter sauntered
slowly in advance. Then when the
two were joined by the madame they
proceeded together to the railway sta
ton and to Paris. Runnion asked il he
might call upon them. but they said
they were about to sail for America
and had so much to do by way Of
preparation that 1t would be difficult
for him TO find them unoccupied. How
ever, it came out that they had all
engaged passage on the same steamer
and on the voyage they would have
plenty Of time TO enjoy one anothers
society.
On the steamer Runnion looked for
his newly made friends. but for the first
two days neither of them appeared.
On the third day he saw Miss Wetherell
sitting on deck liz a steamer chair,
wrapped in rugs He approached her
ana was graciously received Inquir-
| ing for her mother he was told that
she had been detained in Paris. There
were papers to be signed in America
by Miss WetherelI to complete the sale
Of some property she bad owned. and
It was essential that she should go at
once Mrs. Wetherell would sail In an
other fortnight.
| Say what you will about marriage. it
Is a leap in the dark. Runnion had
come to realize this and knew that he
must choose between such a leap and
q lonely old age He could take
chances on occasion and determined to
make the plunge with Miss Wetherell
that is, II she would hare him II
he had asked himself why be was sat

only proper answer would have been
that she had willowy figure. a meio-
