You mean-something's gone
wrong"
"Oh, no. she said, still smiling;
nothing like that. Her heart Is In |
the lowlands. You would consider
Washington square to be In the low
lands, wouldn't you?"
"Oh, / see," he said slowly. You |

"Or some chap in old England, that's
more like it," he retorted. She can't

The three of them stood there for
few minutes, awaiting the buffers an

ND with the picture they presented
that he scarcely heard their Hight chat

differently.
As they entered the vestihule, a
servant came up with the word that
Miss Castleton was wanted at the
telephone, 'long distance from New
York
The girl stopped in her tracks
Booth looked at her in mild surprise
a condition which gave way an instant
later to perplexity. The look of an
novance in her eyes could not be dis
