to England, and hoping that she would
see something of him. Altogether a
duh mail. Mrs. Hignett had just risen
from the table when there was a sound
Of voices in the hall, and presently the
domestic staff, a gaunt Irish lady of
advanced years, entered the room.
"Ma'am, there was gentleman"
Mrs. Hignett was annoyed. Her

Mrs. Hignett experienced no dimi-
mutton of her annoyance. She had not
seen her nephew Sam for ten years
and would have been willing to ex-
tend the period. She remembered him
as an untidy small boy who, once or
twice. during his school holidays, had
disturbed the cloistral peace Of Win
dies with his beastly presence. How
ever. blood being thicker than water
and all that sort Of thing, she sup
nosed she would have to give him I'VE
minutes. She went into the sitting
room and found there a young man
who looked more or less like all other
young men, though perhaps rather
otter than most. He had brown
and amiable face, married at the mo-
ment by an expression Of discomfort
somewhat akin to that OF a cat In
strange alley.
"Hallo. Aunt Adelinel" he said awk-
wardly.
"Weu Samuel" said Mrs. Hignett-
There was pause. Mrs. Hignett,
who was not fond OF young men ana
disliked having her mornings broken
into was thinking that he had not
improved in the slightest degree since
their last meeting; and SAM WHO
imagined that he had long since grown
to mans estate and put on chliuish
things. was embarrassed to discover
that his aunt still affected him as OF
old. That is to say, she mace Hiin
