visit the family, for the express pur-
pose of his making the acquaintance
of Mr.. Hardcastles daughter, Kate.
Chas. Jr. sets out across the coun-
try, accompanied by his friend, Geo.
Hastings, who is an admirer of Miss
Neveille, a niece of Mrs. Hardcastle,
who has long been determined to

TO a half witted son of hers by her
first husband. This son, Tony Lump

Three Pigeons" and misdirects them
to his step-father's house, as an inn
where they can obtain a nights !odg

ignorance Of the error. He is intro
duced to Miss Hardcastle, at whom
he is too bashful to look, but whom
ne later appreciates very highly when
le mistakes her for the barmaid Of
what he has mistaken as an inn.
The young lady is thus mistaken

please herself during the forenoon.
The young lady 'stoops" to this
duplioity to win the admiration OF

ment with Hastings, by circuitous

Mr.. Hardcastle. Tony is notified that
ae is OF age and exercises his first
