For he had not read three books in all

However. by Judicious bluffing, he
managed to get away with this draw

thors as II they were his chums. He
told Dorothea that he and Tom Moore
went fox hunting together; that he had
a violent hirtatioaa with Maria Edge;
a thrilling pr.xe-fight between Bulwer
and Wadsworth.
Everything progressed finely In this
second courtship Of F1tz's, until the
night Of a state ball given by the local
German prineellng. Fit1 asked Doro-

every one else stopped to watch them.

Then. to his horror. he found out that
