Harry and Lucille having c0ncGcted
their IL tie plan to bring Pauline to
time and to force her into a marriage
with Harry at an early date, Lucille
tripped up the stairs and Panlfne,s
msid announced her arrival. Much to
the surprise OF the maid, who was used
to her mistress in all of Pauline's vary
ing moods, she was instructed to tell

Coming Immediately upon her infor-
nation from Harry that Pauline had
but recently retired to her room the
message was as much OF, a shock to
Lucille as it was to Panline,s maid.
School chums and companions, follow
ing schoolgirls happy days, Lucille and
Pauline had ever been in one another's
company and for the latter to send
her such a message was more than
Lucille could stand. What have a
done? she questioned herself. TO make
Pauline act that way with me. /.
The message, however. was most
positive, the maid refusing to converse
with Lucille when the latter endeav.
ored to learn more and the snuBbed
girl was compelled to go ON her way,
fully determined that she would yet
bring Pauline and Harry togesher.
Pauline and Harry had been invited
to attend a reception that evening at
which Signor Baskinelli, pianist OF
marked ability was to be lionized.
Much to Harry's surprise when he was
ready to leave for the affair he was
advised by the servants that Pauline
had already departed. = f.sfsssss
Upon arriving al the reception Har.
ry was somewhat put out and greatly
worried by the snubs feaped upon him
by Pauline, who apparently had eyes
for no one but Signor Baskineili.
Seeking out Lucille, Harry looked
to her for solace and together they
wandered away from the main reeep-
