'. "Rut you're tint In earnest?" I said.
'Certainly I am," replied Bob, and
his face corroborated his assertion.
, "Good heavens!" I exclaimed.
"Where's the objection!" he began.
In an Injured tone. "Because It's not
conventional, because It's contrary to
custom? That's conventionality's fault,
not mine. Look here, Reggie, throw
precedent and sneaking sentimental
ism to the winds and look the thing
straight lu the face and then point out
the harm. Iris Maypel U an angel, w
Will assume."
"Agreed," I said, enthusiastically.
1 "Oh, we all know you're gone on
her," he replied, snappishly.
"Go on," I said.
"Well, if Iris is an angel "
"Good heavensl" I Interrupted again.
"That's Just the point. 'If should not
enter Into the argument. It never does,
in fact, where there's real love. That's
the sure signal of affection. Elimin
ate the affection and In creeps the 'if.' "
"You're young Reggie," replied Bob.
In a tone that made my lip curl. 'We
will return to our hypothesis. If IrU
la an angel which at present I am in
clined to allow and If she is expect
ing me to put the marriage question
Vhlch I feel positive is a fact where
Is the harm if you go to a private de
tective to Norton Scrubbs, to wit
and say, 'I want to know the ups and
downs of Miss Iris Maypel; here's my
money, report as soon as possible?'
.Where's the harm? In a few days I
know all about the lovely Iris from
the world's standpoint, my own con
victions confirmed beyond question in
the future. Sure of the quality of my
game, I load and fire, and at my feet
falls the young and lovely Iris."
"And if the detective report Is not to
your liking?"
"Ah, that's where the gain comes in.
I am saved a life-long disaster. There
are fools who aver that marriage is a
lottery. Bosh! Built on a commercial
basis it's as Bure a thing as exists. Start
.without any bad debts without any
misunderstandings, fallacies, precon
ceived embellishments which never ex
isted but in your imagination, and
there's lifelong happiness to draw
from as you require. Where, I repeat,
is the barm of inquiry?"
I was too disgusted to reply, so plead
ed an engagement and left him.
Bob Pallant was my friend, and I
doubt if I could have swallowed hla
Impertinent suggestion had it referred
to a stranger, but when Iris, the pretty,
soft-voiced, Uowny-cheeked, innocent
eyed Iris was concerned my stomach
absolutely refused. For I adored Iris
Maypel, ami that she should be sub
jected to such an insult as Bob pro
posed made me simmer. For it was
an insult this prying into her spent
life, even if Iris were conscious of the
liberty. Moreover, I had read of how
these private Inquiry agents would pry
even around the domestic hearth, and
could by mistake or intent throw
such lurid light upon a little error as
to make it njipear ghastly and ter
rible. "Her inocence alone should protect
her from such duplicity," I argued aa
I walked. "To attack such guileless
rusticity wlMi the subtleties of urban
resource wa blackguardly in the ex
trome. Even Iris' maternal aunt, who
had piloted her through her first Lon
don season with creditable care and
watchfulness, would hardly be alert to
Bob's unpriin ii)l-d suggestion.
I wished, us t went my way, that one
of Iris' broth'-: s would suddenly pre
sent himself. i'i' I felt equal to prov
ing m.v friendship to Bob by disclosing
his intention ere he could perpetrate it.
But, after all I knew, Iris was brother
less. I had never managed to elicit
much Information of her people beyond
the simple fact that they lived In the
country; certainly that huge, rambling
mansion b'tried In the recesses of a
well-timbered park from which there
Issued In the morning gay squires and
fair ladles in full hunting rig, and
where, at night, love's soft cooing was
echoed by the woodland doves and the
roar of a hunting chorus was mocked
at by the owls, could not have been al
together a mental aberration, though
who put it all into my head, if not Irla
or her auntie, I could not recall.
I purposely avoided Bob'B rooms for
a week. I knew I should only insult
him if I went, and I was loath to do
mat. Besides, upon reflection, a little
brightness broke through the mist. If
Norton Scrubbs made a mistake and
either by acci'U-Lt or design suppuea
Bob with a report of Iris' character and
upbringing, libellous and untrue, Bob
would throw no v.e sponge, and then
All along It had been patent, to me,
at least, tlikt Iri3' preference for Bob
was the result of chance. She had met
him an hour before I was Introduced
and Bob had ::vue the running. He had
had the strut cf me and I was not
quite good :i.-ri,'a to overhaul him.
But what pn'nitunitles for me was of
fered by aa udvcruo report from Nor
ton Scrubbs! I would never submit my
darling to such aa Indignity. 1 would
never
In the mid it of my reverie in walk
ed Bob.
"Congratulate me, Reggie," he smil
ed. "Eh? You're you're engaged, do
you say?"
"As good as. I've got Scrubbs' re
port. Here it is. 'Iris Maypel, of
Maypel Court, in the County of Blank
blilre, only child and heiress of Alex
ander Thomas Maypel, J. P."
He looked up suddenly from the pa
per. "1 verified name and address in the
county register," he said.
"Anything more?" I asked.
"Oh, yes, lots. I'll give you pertin
ent extracts. 'Born, May, 1875.' She's
younger than I thought, Reggie."
"She doesn't look her age," I retort
ed. Bob grunted and continued:
"Family renowned for rectitude of
purpose, moral severity, generosity and
mercifulness."
"1 could have told you that," 1 Inter
rupted. "Iris carries all thnt, and more,
lu her face. "Go on!"
" 'The ladles noted for their endur
ing beauty, innocence of mind and
splendid physique. The Maypels came
over with William of Normandy and
are hence of Norman extraction; their
"That's enough!" I Interrupted an
grily. "Why will you continue to in
sult the girl you pretend to love."
Bob laughed light hcartedly.
"Confound your Impudence and your
Inhospitallty!" he said. "Haven't you
some whiRkey or something to pledge
me with, Reggie?"
I found him liquor, and he drank, but
mine stood untasted, though I did, in
a feeble way, wish him everything he
desired. My recent hope, quashed so
soon after birth, left me limp.
"By the bye," I remarked, presently,
:"you take Scrubbs' report; for gospel
1 notice. You don't question his er
veracity?"
Bob laughed merrily.
"Question the accuracy of Norton
Scrubbs! Doubt the written word ol
the smartest man In his profession!
No, my boy, only an Idiot would do
that. Why, even the bar acts upon it,
sometimes. Besides, look at his bill
of costs. Fare to Maypel Court, first
return 3 18s. Lodging and board at
hostelry lu the vicinity of the Court,
together with tips for information and
80 forth 3 48. What do those itemi
mean?"
"Oh,, I suppose It's all right," I re
plied. "I don't doubt that one of the
hounds has followed the scent but it's
amazing to me that you can be satis
fied with the report of any third person
and yet be incredulous of your own
eyes."
"Now, look here, old man," said Bob,
with a paternal flourish, "what's mine
can't be yours where a wife is con
cerned at all events; so make up your
inlnd to the lnveitable, and it you must
love Iris Maypel learn to love her as a
sister, though there's greater security
both for you and me, to say nothing of
our friendship, if you drop loving her
at all."
He left me to ponder over his well
meaning hint and I was vainly en
deavoring to perceive the truth in it
when a letter from Iris was handed
in. The first few lines led up to this:
"Why have you deserted us so long,
Mr. Cllve? Failing to meet you at any
social gathering where you are usually
to be found we quite expected you to
call. I have, with great difficulty, dis
suaded dear autnie from the belief that
I have offended you. Will you not
come and assert my Innocence? Dear
auntie's box for Wednesday's 'first
night' Is not filled, and if you will hon
or us by helping to nil it dear auntie
will be really delighted as also yours,
etc.
"P. S. Kindly drop us a line to-day.
If you have the inclination to bring
your answer, auntie will be at home
as also yours, etc.".
I read the lines and then endeavored
to read between them. Iris had never
before approached me In so Intimate a
mood In fact, I had been shown to
comprehension more than once that
Bob's friend was not necessarily upon
the same family footing as Bob. And
as for the auntie certainly her cold
civility had often impressed me, but I
had never flattered myself that she
would have concerned herself If Iris
. had ofTended, ay, insulted me a dozen
times a week.
However, I quickly resolved upon ac
tion. I would call upon Iris, and if
things looked favorable I would prom
ise myself for the Wednesday, if not, I
could easily invent an excuse.
The fact Is, Hope, so recently evap
orated, condensed again, and I drank it
with avidity.
I fancied there was a smile on the
man's face when he opened the door
of the pretty flat in St. James', and
said:
"Miss Maypel is in the conservatory,
sir, and expecting you."
The man's smirk spoilt what else
would have been my record heart-leap.
Stilt, it looked hopeful that Iris was
waiting for me in a place I knew from
observation her aunt did not frequent.
The man left mo hurriedly at the
door, and I walked around the con
servatory twice and peeped behind
every available, refuge there were
giant palms and no loss giant screens
In plenty but Iris was not there.
I stood perplexed, wondering If there
were any connection between Iris' ab
sence and that ugly serving-man's
smirk. But suddenly I heard a voice,
at first faintly, and then most dis
tinctly. "Don't you be a fool," it Bald. "You'll
get your money, rl?ht enough, if you
wait. Only let me run alone. I've got
my head screwed on right, I can assure
you. If you Interfere you'll suffer for
it, that's all."
It was Iris' voice!
"But, my dear "
There was the thin, piping voice of
her aunt.
"Don't but at me!" interrupted Iris,
angrily. "Bob Pallant is off, I tell you,
and all your arguments won't bring
him on again. Little Reggie Cllve's my
man now."
I shank within myself. At the mo
ment Iris spoke my own name they
had entered the conservatory, and I
had aranged myself for a formidable
sneeze with which to announce my
presence. But the end of Iris' sentence
broke off my sneeze Into a mere sigh,
and before I could rearrange myself for
the effort they were speaking again,
and I was uncertain whether it waa
best to boldly face them or to wait be
hind the screen on the chance that
they would soon clear out.
"I supposu I must tell you the whole
tale," IrU continued, peevishly,
"though sonio things are best kept to
oneself. Bob Pallant has made an eg
regious ass or nimscir."
"Good gracious! How?" breathless
ly exclaimed auntie.
"Applied to Cousin Norton for my
ennracter anu antecedents.
"Well!" ' i
"Of course, Norton humbugged him
right enough, told pretty lies about
mo, and planted me and my family in a
fairly respectable county position,
but "
"Doesn't that suit you?" interrupt
ed auntie.
"No, you old fool. Do you think I'm
olng to marry a mnn who has betn
humbugged like that?"
"You're unusually tender about a Ut
tlo Imposition."
"Thank you, thst w!!l do. 1 didn't
pick up a chnperon and pay her hand
somely to stand auntie to ine for a sea
son and introduce me to society to be
bullied by her In earnest. There are
no men to hear us now, remember. I'm
not a kid. I've ceased to blubber, and
I won't be whipped. Can't you see that
If I marry Bob Pallant after this, my
chance of pleasure to say nothing of
your chance of your fee wouldn't be
worth a week's notice? He would Jolly
soon undeceive himself, and then"
"You wouldn't be to blame. You
didn't deceive hlra."
"No, but Norton Scrubbs did, and It
would ruin his reputation and close bis
purse to me forever. Norton has al
ready given me to understand as much
and advised me to understand as much
and advised me to take on Reggie
Cllve. But there, you haven't any
sense."
What an awakening! How 1 men
tally cursed myself! How I mentally
cursed Bob for having married hi!
innocent-lipped, downy-cheeked, dove
eyed Iris right away without inquiry,
and so spared me the agonizing pre
dicament I was In. How I cursed like
wise mentally Norton Scrubbs and all
his kith nnd kin. And nil that mental
Imprecation came out through my
pores until drops of sweat fell soft and
silent upon the lorn petals of a dying
chrysanthemum.
But I had suffered in silence long
enough. Scene or no scene, scandal
slander, or what not. I cared not; J
was callous to them all. I would ro
veal my hideous presence.
The revealing was done for me. That
smirking servant appeared and an
nounced in a sepulchral voice that Mr.
Cllve had arrived.
There was a little flutter at the an
nouncement and I heard a fleeting foot
step that betokened auntie's departure,
for it was Iris who replied:
"Very well, Adams, show him in."
"I have already shown him Ifl
Miss Iris," stammered the man.
"Didn't I tell you to show him here
to the conservatory?" said Iris, se
Terely. "And so I did. Miss Iris. I brought
him here several minutes ago, and 1
have been searching for you ever since
to tell you so."
I stepped from behind the screen Just
in time to witness the full comedy ol
the moment. Iris was a spectacle to
behold! She baffled all description.
Amazement mingled with fear, shame,
guilt, horror, rage, indignation, and a
number of other symptoms peculiar to
such a nervous shock. I walked to
where she still sat, too paralyzed to
move.
"Miss Maypel," I said, "I have over
heard your conversation, and I know
you will call me a coward and an eaves
dropper; but my conscience is innocent:
1 was put here by your man, and you
had already committed yourself before
I could warn you of my presence, so I
waited in the hope that you would leave
me before discovering me."
She made no reply, so I gladly walk
ed from the conservatory and the
house.
I went home and tried to see the end
of the business. What attitude would
Iris adopt when Bob, in the flushing
pride of Norton Scrubbs' report, pro
posed marriage to her? I gave up the
conundrum when, far into the night, 1
had failed to solve it.
I went down to the oltib the follow
ing day resolved to tell Bob all when
his familiar face wearing anything
but his familiar expression looked in.
He came stralpht ncross to me, and
without any preliminaries said:
"Reggie! Where's Iris?"
I pushed my piate aside and returned
his gaze.
"How should I know if you are ignor
ant?" I replied. "Isn't ahe with her
her auntie?"
"Possibly," returned Bob. "In fact,
probably. But whore's her aunt?
They've disappeared from their flat
flown, owing six months' rent besides
salaries and unpaid bills innumerable
and have left no address."
"Well," I said reflectively, "I'm not
surprised after what I overheard In
their conservatory yesterday after
noon."
"What did you hear?" asked Bob,
eagerly.
I told him.
Poor old Bob! I won't attempt to
record his subsequent remarks anent
women In general and Iris and auntie
in particular, since no self-respecting
type would consent to chronicle thenx
