against the balustrade, her heart beat

studio door. There was no response,
and shobeat an inpatient tattoo with her

footsteps as cf a person crossing the
room, and the door was opened by a
swarthy man whose great shock of
black hair, and the dingy red jeisey he
wore gave him a certain gip3y pictur
esqueness. "Good morning," the girl said, with a
Jittle accent; "this is Mr. Drayton, I
believe?1
"Won't you come in?" the man re
plied, kicking aside some rubbish to
make way for her.

a smile-lit critical eye. Ever thing had
