WHAT'S HER NAME? sticks two girls wyre preparing soms sort of food, while a few unshaven, unwashed men, scantily clad (for the day was warm) lay about in the shadow of the canvas walls, lazily watching the unending stream of carriages and blcy- cles that debauched from Bedford ave- nue into the Parkway and flowed atead- ily toward the Plasa, Suddenly the two girls at the fire paused in their work aia turned toward the road with an air of suppressed eagerness, A young. man of perhaps twenty-five, clad in irreproachable riding costume, was cantering slowly by, his mind and that of his splendid roan saddle horse intent only on changing the heat and dust of the Parkway for the green, cool and fragrance of the park bridle paths. The man was tall and athletically built. His clean-shaven, classic face was crowned by a veritable mane of wavy golden hair. After the first glance one of the two Romany girls returned to her work at the fire. The other, younger and less skilled in ¢oncegling her emotions, still kept her eyes fixed on the stranger until he vanished in the dust clouds. Pirate she exclaimed, caming back to the fite. “Did you see him?" “See whom?” ,asked Lira, carelessly a@peaking,.as had her sister, in the Re- many vernacular, ‘Why, Roderick Van Nostrand, the Rye (gentleman) who came here last week, Don't you remember?
