Dams Simplicity.

Dams Simplicity.
The Duchess Of Breakwater was not
sure how close Dan Blair's thoughts
were to marriage. but the boy from
Montana was the easiest prey that
had come across the beautiful and
unscrupulous woman's range. He had
told her that he stayed on up in Lon
don to see a man from home. and
when after four days he still fingered
in town, she found his absence un-
bearable, and sent him a wire so
worded that If he had spark OF In
terest in her he must Immediately re-
turn to the Park. She had never been
more lovely than when Dan found her
waiting for him.
She had ordered tea in her sitting
room. She told him that he looked
frightfully seedy. asked him what he
had been doing and why he had
stopped SO long away. and Blair told
her that old Ruggles, his fathers
friend, had run over to see him with
lot Of papers for Dan to read and
sign and closed with a smile. telling
her that he guessed she didn't know
much about business

Those things are not business"
Dan answered wisely: they are just
common or garden carelessness."
She asked him Why he had not
brought Ruggles out to Osdene. ana
he told her he couldn't have done
stroke of work with the old boy down
here at the Park.
Stirring his tea. he appreciated the
duchess. The agreeable picture she
made impressed him nightly.

low who listened like child. At the
end he drew his handkerchief slowly
across his eyes. but the tears. or
rather moisture, that rose there was
not all due to Miss Lanes song, for
Ruggles was extremely warm.
He could see that in his box the
boy sat transfixed and absorbed. Dan
went out in the second entr'acte and
was absent when the curtain went
