The fair widow was delighted to see her visitor-for reasons. This young man was well born, well connected, heir to a title and unattached--and Lady Cheyne had the chaperoning of a millionaire’'s daughter, at something substantia] per month, with the prom- ise of a lump sum down in the event of a satisfactory marriage. It was this lump sum that she was longing to finger, Chaperoning a pret- ty girl was all very well, but a trip to Monte Carlo or a flutter In circles where little debutantes were out of place and distinctly in the way was more to Lady Cheyne's taste, Neither of these indulgences was possible, however, a8 long as the heiress re- mained on her hands. As for Violet, the girl rose from her chair with a feeling of undisgulsed _ pleasure.

He touched softly with his lips the hand he held : “If 1 really wanted this give it to me-—some day?” “Do you really mean it? Do really mean that you love me?” Their eyes met. There seemed to be a wonderful story, a story that was written for him alone, on that face. It fascinated the young man, and for the first time he discovered that the girl was really beautiful. Her words, “You really mean that you love me?” repeated themselves persistently In his brain, and the look in her violet eyes thrilled him with a strange new feeling. But—love her? Ah, there was some one coming! “Yes,” sald a voice, which he recog- nized as that of the Honorable Claude's. “Davenegh's hooked her right enough. Nice little thing, but, of course, it's her mouaey bags he's after. Ah, well! we've all got to marry some day-for love or lucre; but it's jucre in his case with a vengeance!” No more, The volees passed out of earshot. Stunned and dazed, Dave- negh dropped the hand he held, and the twain faced each other speechless, This, then, was the end. Davenegh rose, and his face was almost as white as that of the girl beside him as, with- out speaking he drew Violet's trembl- ing fingers through his arm and led her back to the ballroom. At the entrance they stopped, as if by mutual consent, and Davenegh with. drew his arm. For a moment he let was! would you you his deep eyes rest on the girl's stricken face, and there was love, remorse and bitter shame in their depths. Then, having uttered no word, he hurried away, with ashen lips and a heart full of a burning, blinding pain. He had insulted her beyond all hope of pardon, grieved her heyond all forgivenness, and-he loved her! For the next fortnight Lady Cheyne was at her wits’ end what to do with her clinrge. Day by day the girl grew whiter and thinner, like some lovely pale flower whose strength was grad ually being sapped at the roots; yet, in spite of letters and frantic letters, Maurice Davenegh made sign, and finally it was ascertained that he had left town, destination unknown. It was in vaip that Lady Cheyne fumed and fretted; there was nothing for it but to leave town also and try if the sea breezes would bring the color back to Violet's cheeks It # ni and fearful upsetting of plans: girl looked like a ghost, and were beginning to talk * © ® » . * . notes, was sance but the people “Come on, If ye holler The tramp ralsed his stick eningly, and his grip the slender wrist tightened to that was painful now; yer purse-—-quick! threat- on girl an intensity for it was she In middle her bicyele, and ghe with dust from head a frantic look up and Violet Hunstan ibling violently the the road lay covered She the gave long road, but there was not tary being in sight “D'ye hear me? | tO waste Wot? 3 1 11 $e We ll see arms the the Gripping her her black the drese.
