foundly disturbed by the arrival OF
visitor. Royal Blondin. Next
day. at q tea party In the city.
Blondon makes himself agreeable
TO Nina, and leaves a deep impress
sion on the unsophisticated girl.
Harriet-s agitation over the appear
ance OF Blondin at "Crownlands"
is explained by the fact that he
had been disturbing element in
her life ten years before and she
fears him. The man is an avowed
adventurer, living on the gullibility
of the idle rich. He frankly an
nounces to Harriet his intention of
marrying Nina, and urges her TO
aid him. She is in sense In his
power, and after pleading with him
to abandon his scheme agrees to
follow policy OF neutrality.
Knowing the tender feeling she has
inspired In Ward Carter. Harriet
is tempted to marry him for the
position and wealth he can give
her, though realizing she does not
love him, Blondin has ingratiated
himself with Madame Carter, Rich
ards mother. and she is whole
heartedly In favor OF his marriage
with Nina. Ward urges Harriet to
marry him. She procrastinates.
