It was shown in London at the Great Exhibition of 1851, and determined the direction of De la Rue's efforts. Yet it did little more than prove the art to be a possible one.

When "off duty," and luxuriating in tobacco and relaxation, he occupied himself as an amateur shoemaker, tailor, musician, and stick-whittler, to the no small advantage of himself and his fellow-outcasts, of whom there were five or six, besides the principals already mentioned. Le Rue's face bore an expression of dissatisfaction and perplexity as he entered the hall.

"I imagine you are right," she admitted pleasantly. "So you found a backer? A mining man?" "Not on your life. None of your wild west for me. As soon as some business is straightened out here, it's back to Broadway." "Who is it?" ventured the other cautiously. "Mr. Beaton?" "Ned Beaton!" Miss La Rue's voice rose to a shriek. "Oh, Lord!

Mrs. Hollister had entered her in Madam La Rue's school.
