Right in the midst of one Of Napo-

quite natural for him to bow to that
splendid Mrs. Graft, and say:
Il hope you have not forgotten
me, Miss Rutledge. Shall l have the
honor of dancing?"
He did it so quickly that Shubrick
who was by him. could not hinder
him. She laughed and said:
Il am not Miss Rutledge any lon

as if TO say he must leave Mr.. Nolan
to her, and led him off to the place
where the dance was forming.
Nolan thought he had got his
chance. He had known her at Phil
adelphia, and at other places had
met her, and this was a godsend
You could not talk in contredances,

then, when they had worked down,

the story, years after:

And that splendid creature looked
