There was a millionaire. nam- ed John Kenrith, who was very char- itahle, and whose good works she - had seen mentioned. If she remem- bered aright, he came from Lanca- shire, and she wondered if this nice, brown, rather ugly man were he.

Elspeth began to feel as if she had got into a story book fax more inter- esting than the one she was trying to read. "What will they do when they see me at Locllrain?" she won- dered.

The journey did not seem lone to the girl, for her brain teemed with all sorts of interesting fancies, from the beginning to the end. The sta- tion at which passengers descended for Loehraitl Castle Hydropathic Ho- tel was that of a small town, popular among tourists, and so there was no reason why it should occur to her fellow travelers that her destination was the sante as theirs. Locllrain WAS five or six miles distant, and Elspeth saw her three late compan- ions go away in a very smart motor, car, so exactly like severtfl others at the station that she guessed that they were sent by the management of the hotel.
