had the money to pay for it and you
could go there without divergence.
Maurice Guillemot sat over his un
comfortable breakfast table In the
rooms he shared with his friend and
cursed his luck. His friend was away
by the sen. and he was here in the
dusty, the sordid, blackness of
Temple t iamhers. Jle Jiad had
money a holiday, aud when Do
r big fiad begged him to accept a loan
he had sworn at Doming, and
bail gone off in more or less of a huff.
Aud now Doming was by the sea, and
he was here. The flies buzzed in the
window and round the sticky marma¬
lade jar. The sun beat in at the open
window. There was no work to do.
Maurice was a solicitor by trade, but
in fact and perforce an Idler. No
ness came to him. All day long
steps of clients sounded on the
old wooden staircase, clients for

The newcomer was impatient,

A radiant vision in a white linen
gown, a very smart tailor made

was standing in his doorway

“Won t you ask me iu?” asked

W 'ith no playfellows. Then the new
doctor came, and bis little daughter,
Rosamund Ringwood, and almost at

at the postoffiee. Then there were
playfellows, dear playfellows, to cheer

hardly knew what play or laughter
meant Then the invalid lady died,

boy Andrew Doming and, finding him
friendless and homeless, took him into
