collected   camp´chairs   and   settled   ourselves   in   a   cool   place   on   the   boat 

deck。     Kinney   had   bought   all   the   afternoon   papers�察  �and�察  �as   later   I   had 

reason   to   remember�察  �was   greatly   interested   over   the   fact   that   the   young 

Earl of Ivy had at last arrived in this country。             For some weeks the papers 

had been giving more space than seemed necessary to that young Irishman 

and   to   the   young   lady   he   was   coming   over   to   marry。     There   had   been 

pictures of his different country houses�察�pictures of himself�察�in uniform�察�in 

the   robes   he   wore   at   the   coronation�察  �on   a   polo   pony�察  �as   Master   of   Fox´ 

hounds。       And     there   had   been    pictures   of   Miss    Aldrich�察   �and   of  HER 

country      places   at   Newport     and    on   the  Hudson。      From      the   afternoon 

papers     Kinney     learned     that�察 �having     sailed   under    his  family    name     of 

Meehan�察  �the   young   man   and   Lady   Moya�察  �his   sister�察  �had   that   morning 

landed   in   New York�察  �but   before   the   reporters   had   discovered   them�察  �had 

escaped from the wharf and disappeared。 

     ;'Inquiries at the different hotels��'; read Kinney impressively�察 �'failed 

to   establish   the   whereabouts   of   his   lordship   and   Lady   Moya�察  �and   it   is 

believed they at once left by train for Newport。'; 

     With awe Kinney pointed at the red funnels of the Mauretania。 

     ;There is the boat that brought them to America�察─�he said。                    ;I see�察─�he 

added�察 �that in this picture of him playing golf he wears one of those knit 

jackets the Eiselbaum has just marked down to three dollars and seventy´ 

five cents。      I wish; he added regretfully。 

     ;You can get one at New Bedford�察─�I suggested。 

     ;I wish�察─�he continued�察 �we had gone to Newport。                     All of our BEST 

people   will   be   there   for   the   wedding。     It   is   the   most   important   social

event of the season。       You might almost call it an alliance。; 

     I went forward to watch them take on the freight�察�and Kinney stationed 

himself at the rail above the passengers gangway where he could see the 

other passengers arrive。        He had dressed himself with much care�察�and was 

wearing his Yale hat´band�察�but when a very smart´looking youth came up 

the   gangplank   wearing   a   Harvard   ribbon�察  �Kinney   hastily   retired   to   our 

cabin and returned with one like it。 A few minutes later I found him and 

the    young    man    seated    in  camp´     chairs   side   by   side   engaged     in   a 

conversation in which Kinney seemed to bear the greater part。                   Indeed�察�to 

what   Kinney  was   saying   the  young   man   paid   not the  slightest   attention。 

Instead�察�his eyes were fastened on the gangplank below�察�and when a young 

man   of   his   own   age�察  �accompanied   by   a   girl   in   a   dress   of   rough   tweed�察�

appeared upon it�察�he leaped from his seat。             Then with a conscious look at 

Kinney�察�sank back。 

     The girl in the tweed suit was sufficiently beautiful to cause any man 

to rise and to remain standing。         She was the most beautiful girl I had ever 

seen。    She had gray eyes and hair like golden´rod�察�worn in a fashion with 

which I was not familiar�察�and her face was so lovely that in my surprise at 

the sight of   it�察  �I   felt   a   sudden   catch   at   my  throat�察  �and   my  heart   stopped 

with awe�察�and wonder�察�and gratitude。 

     After a brief moment the young man in the real Harvard hat´band rose 

restlessly    and�察  �with   a  nod    to  Kinney�察   �went    below。    I   also   rose  and 

followed   him。      I   had   an   uncontrollable   desire   to   again   look   at   the   girl 

with the golden´rod hair。         I did not mean that she should see me。            Never 

before had I done such a thing。          But never before had I seen any one who 

had moved me so strangely。           Seeking her�察�I walked the length of the main 

saloon and back again�察�but could not find her。             The delay gave me time to 

see   that   my   conduct   was   impertinent。       The   very   fact   that   she   was   so 

lovely to look upon should have been her protection。                  It afforded me no 

excuse to follow and spy upon her。             With this thought�察�I hastily returned 

to the upper deck to bury myself in my book。                If it did not serve to keep 

my   mind   from   the   young   lady�察  �at   least   I   would   prevent   my   eyes   from 

causing her annoyance。

     I was about to take the chair that the young man had left vacant when 

Kinney objected。 

     ;He was very much interested in our conversation�察─�Kinney said�察 �and 

he may return。; 

     I had not noticed any eagerness on the part of the young man to talk to 

Kinney or to listen to him�察�but I did not sit down。 

     ;I should not be surprised a bit�察─�said Kinney�察 �if that young man is no 

end of a swell。       He is a Harvard man�察�and his manner was most polite。 

That�察─  �explained   Kinney�察   �is   one   way   you   can   always   tell   a   real   swell。 

They're not high and mighty with you。             Their social position is so secure 

that they can do as they like。       For instance�察�did you notice that he smoked 

a pipe�拭─�

     I said I had not noticed it。 

     For   his   holiday   Kinney   had   purchased   a   box   of   cigars   of   a   quality 

more expensive than those he can usually afford。              He was smoking one of 

them at the moment�察�and�察�as it grew less�察�had been carefully moving the 

gold band with which it was encircled from the lighted end。                   But as he 

spoke     he   regarded    it  apparently    with   distaste�察  �and   then   dropped     it 

overboard。 

     ;Keep my chair�察─�he said�察�rising。          ;I am going to my cabin to get my 

pipe。;    I sat down and fastened my eyes upon my book�察�but neither did I 

understand what I was reading nor see the printed page。                 Instead�察�before 

my eyes�察  �confusing   and blinding   me�察  �was   the   lovely�察  �radiant   face   of   the 

beautiful lady。     In perplexity I looked up�察�and found her standing not two 

feet from me。       Something pulled me out of my chair。             Something made 

me move it toward her。         I lifted my hat and backed away。            But the eyes 

of the lovely lady halted me。 

     To my perplexity�察�her face expressed both surprise and pleasure。 It was 

as though either she thought she knew me�察�or that I reminded her of some 

man she did know。         Were the la
