A place called 'Adrian's lo about three mllea from here, and I am a frail young thing, and Tve not bad any breakfast !" The conventional aspect of the affair struck Ellen for the first tlina.

She had her own stern girlish standard of judgment, and ahe knew she was safe. The luncheon wua a perfectly natural pnrt of the trip; they were both hungry. And he hnd not had any breakfast I She made him an answer that pleased him deeply, although he apparently conceded It nothing but a satisfied nod. and Immediately hid hla eyes under the glasses aguln. "If you say It's all right, I know It must he." So they went to "Adrian's," a big, shabby hostelry set upon a rise of ground, and provided with wide verandas for the summer crowds; verandas deserted now under their bare awning frames. The meal came, hot and odorous and appetizing, and they talked while they ate. Glhhs told her of his first acquaintance with Mrs. Rose. I was a small kid of ten or twelve. In Rome, do you see? And she was there with her first husbnnd, Torrey. My mother wns kind to her, tve were ut the some hotel, and she tvas atvful-- l kind to me. She had a brother with her, about my nge, and we suw a good deal of each other. Later, when she was a widow. She turned up In Paris with the two children.
