secures an adjoining table where he
obtains an unobstructed view of Theo-

But one of his inquisitive cousins who
happened to be with him notices the

draws her own conclusions accord

his obvious infatuation with Theodore.
The next day Lord Bracondale
frankly tells Mrs. Mcbride the whole
situation. Seeing where the two

powerless to prevent it, she helps him

enough for that.
When your destination is unknown you
can never say how many hours it will take
to get there and back, she pointed out.
And no one felt inclined to argue with her
about this obvious truth!
Now if Theodore had been a free I'M
married girl, or a freer widow. it is highly
probable fate would not have arranged this
long afternoon in blissful surroundings I'M
disturbed by any one. AS it was, who
knows if the goddess settled it with

was settled, at all events, and looked as if
it were going to contain some moments

Theodora's consequent dizziness is
broken by an unexpected visit from

Theodore was so gay! Captain Fitz-

There was a good deal of black middle
