to be alive,

Under the genial influences of the
hour Harry Kerr iu the guilessness
of his nature. laid -bare his heart.
Liopel Maurice, an „,,accomplished
man of the world, played upon it as
if it ere a harp of ten strings, and
soon arrived at a fair conclusion as
to the kind of a mail he was.
"Poor' beggar," he said in his in-.

They emerged from comparative
shadow into the glare and throng of
Regent Street, and Maurice, having
dropped the first 'piosonous seeds,
skillfully diverted the conversation
into a lighter vein,
Harry Kerr was very young; he
had seen nothini, and his eyes. now
