At 'i grand ball she is a disconsolate .iit,rrr. A handsome young man aiUt her te dance and the has te eon een tut the knows none of the up-te-date steps. He is Pat Itoysten, and Utches Illhabeth te dance. Her nebbith aunt find cousin rebuke her, ,, he is only a dancing master, Elizabeth hears her uncle, teith whom An made her home in the country, U dead. She h met by Walter Bneath, a solid but net very viva cious country lad, who loves her and mrttetes marriage in her plight. She remts him and determines te go te Londen te cam her living by dancing en a legacy of HOO her uncle left tr. Hhe Is grudgingly taken in by htr aunt. AND HERE IT CONTINUES I'd Llke Seme Smart Clethe" HIS t'.TfS Rrew anxious; with nil his cartful saving, his own capital was wry little mere" than a hundred, and It dreaded lent Elizabeth, with her peer knowledge of the value of money, should It contemplating throwing her legacy away. "What I should really like," she said ilewly, "would be te buy sonic clothes -really smart clothes." Sh flushed, meeting IiIh reproachful gaze. "And then co right away somewhere even if only n ,,PC, or two and have u real pod holiday. I've never had n real holiday like ether people, only just day trips, and and going te my aunt's." She gave a hnrd little laugh. "Dut I'm net going te waste It like that. I ran i-ee you think It would be waits. Walter. He I'm going te teach Bjwlf te earn a living with it." He eehecd her words, net under standing. "Tench yourself! But you knew hew tacoek. hew te leek after a house. If jeu were te get somewhere with a nice family Elizabeth shivered. "Ne, tliank you : when I leave here I'm net going te de any mere cooking or homework. I'm " She hesi tated, then added with a rush: "I'm going te tench dancing." "Teach dancing !" Walter echoed. "But hew can you? Yeu don't knew these new dances, de you, and they arc all different, aren't they, from the ones we knew?" Elizabeth nodded. "Yes eh, se different!" And she thought of that dreadful hour during which she had sat alone en the couch In the i ballroom, and tried in vain te tteape from her myriad reflections. "Se different !" she said again. "But I'can learn I can seen learn, I knew. He fld some one told me when I was at my aunt's that that I was a tern dancer, that T could dance like a felry. Se you tee ! And every one wants te lenrn nowadays, Walter tnif one 'in Londen nlmert every one la tie world. I should think," she added Tiluely. "And you mean you would go to'Lendou alone?" "Of course!" Elizabeth sounded barer than she felt. "What harm can happen te me, and what else can I de? Mr aunt doesn't want me: I'm tee dowdy and awkward for her." She bit her lip en n painful memory. "Oh, Walter. i.eme dny I'll show her that I m net such n hopeless frump after all ; eme day " She laughed excitedly. 'Oh. some day I'll be even with them ill." She had nlmest forgotten that she as net nlene ; her eyes flashed and the roler deepened In her cheecks; she was mere than pretty nt that moment, in jpite of her badly dressed hair and ugly frock. And a Midden flaMi of illumination penetrated the slew brain of the man he loved her, nnd there wns n spark of fire in his ejes ns Iip took a quick Mep toward her nnd laid both hands roughly en her shoulders, turning her ke that she was forced te leek into hit eyes. "Elizabeth, if teii hnd never gene te JiOnden would jeu have married me?" he asked. ,S''e tried te meet his gaze, but her lias fell, nnd lie yaw hew her lips trem bled n lien she tried te speak. ' I I don't knew I eh. l den r understand myself! I can't ex plain. He put hand beneath her chin, .Vim "Pr dewnbent head. Mlsrabcth. is there any one else unr ether man who who has cut me out? ' She managed te laugh nt that, but it a shaky little Inugh that carried nereal conviction. "Anybody else!" alie echoed. "When iiil ou ,llllt nobody wanted te dance With me nobody spoke te me, hardly MTbedv. the whole evening."

V,J le fit hcrs!f for hiw life that she was going te Londen where she nuld at Heast, be near blm, and perhaps some Imes see him. oho wan young and romantic, and Walter Sneath, honest fellow, had ne?er touched her heart. She was glad when at last he left her; his presence hampered and irri tated her: yet when she was nlene In her room hcr fresh courage and high de termination began te waver. Supposing she was a failure! What would she de when all her money had gene and there was no home upon which te fall back? And the dread of loneliness and an unknown future shook ber anew. Dur ing a wakeful night she decided n dozen tlmea te write te Walter Sneath and say that she had changed her mind, but when the morning came she knew it ceuia never be. She did net love him; she did net want te be his- wife. Even the vague terrors of an unknown future were Def erable te the monotony which was nil she would ever find In Dilbury. She went te see Mr. Junker, the next day, and told him of her decision. He listened quietly, the faintest smile en his llp before he said smoothly : "My dear child de jeu knew that you are net of age?" Elizabeth flushed. "Net of nge? My birthday Is next week, and I shall be twenty-one; I can de what I like then." He looked u little nonplussed, and tried reasoning from another stand point. "It Is Impossible for you te make your own way in Londen; you arc net in the least fitted te battle with -the world. Yeu must at least consult your aunt, nnd see what she says. She is our only living relative new." "She does net want te be bothered with me," Elizabeth said proudly, "and I de net want te go te her house again." But in the end she had te consent te go. Mr. Junkers went himself te see Mrs. Masen. He told hcr very strongly that It was her duty te prevent Eliza beth from carrying out her plan. "She Is only a child," h said. "Yeu arc hcr aunt, l hare told her that she must come toyeu at any rate for a time." Mrs. Masen did net want .Elizabeth. "I cannot afford te keep 'her," she said plaintively. "I think my brother behaved very badly In net leaving hcr or us any of his money. Why In the world all that fortune should go te en dow some wretched hospital when his own relatives are practically in want I cannot see. He wns always selfish ; he never cared for any of us." Mr. Junkers knew the type of woman with whom he had te deal. He cut her short. "Then I may tell your niece that yei will receive her?" "Fer the present; only for the pres ent," Mrs. MnMin said firmly. "Eliza beth must leek out for some work. Goodness knows, I have worked hard enough in my time. I suppose, though, s.he Is net fitted for anything but house work." Mr. Junkers smiled. ''She scams te have get some idea In her head that she would like te teach dancing," he said. Mrs. Masen almost screamed. "Dancing! That girl! She cannot dance! She has no appearance. Heav ens! Who will go te her for lessens?" Mr. Junkers shrugged his shoulders. "Perhaps you can persuade her te change hcr mind," he said mildly. "She's a little feel," Mrs. Masen said viciously, "but I suppose she will have te come te me for the time being, ut all events." Se Elizabeth cait.e. ranu.,1 i; .I, """"'. nij no nan wed her without a leek of recognition iciii1 B,'l'i' n"' J't It' was n An Unwelcome Guest Elizabeth went back te her aunt's hiuse en u Thursday afternoon, and In fwenty-feur hours she was seeking des perately for a means of escape from it. Mrs. Mnsen received her coldly, mak ing It plnin beyond n doubt te the girl thur she wab net wanted. "It Is as much iih I can de te make both ends meet for myself nnd Delly," sue sain, "it i were a ricn woman you would be mere than welcome; but new, naturally, I am anxious te de everything In my power for my own child. ea must take n nest. Eliza beth; It Is an ordinary thing for girls who have been well educated te cam their own living nowadays, nnd n hun dred pounds will net keep you for any length of time." "I didn't expect It te." said Eliza beth' helplessly. "And," she added, with a touch of courage. "I did net want te con.e te you at nil. Mr. Jun kers said I must, and that's the only reason i came. "Yeu are an ungrateful girl," Mrs. Mnsen said. She swept out of the room, leaving i;tiznectu te tne tenuer mercies or a maid. She was shown te her room a 6mnll one en the second fleer. "I nm te brine your supper un here, miss." the maid said. vathr apologetically. "Mrs. Mnsen nnd Miss Delly are going out te u dance.' She wondered afterward at the sud den flame of eagerness that crossed the girls face, but It died down quickly, anil hlUuucth enl said quietly: "Thank jeu: I .am net hungry." When she was left alone she looked round the loom despairingly. She was net wanted hcic; If she hnd been smart and well dressed and llch she might have found a welceu.e; but. as it was, hcr one lenglne was te escape. She nte hcr supper In solitude, her mind full of plans by which she could get away. Delly had looked Inte her room for a few minutes before she went te the dance : she were n new frock flint, made Elizabeth's heart ache by reason of Us sheer daintiness. In her wildest fancies she had never druained of anvthing half se beautiful. She looked at Delly almost with reverence. "I hope you will haie a geed time,'' she said when her cousin turned le go. Dellv laughed carelessly. "T dare say I shall, but Neil Farmer nnd I have quarreled, I dare say we Lshull make It up egam some day, hut we den t speak new. ivc get another boy." "Oh!" said Elizabeth blankly. She was longing te ask after I'nt Ilojtteu, tmt could net find the courage. She was still nwake when the deck struck -, and she heard her aunt ami Delly's return from the dance; heard Delly's tired, fretful voice anil net aunt's sharp reply. She was amazed when presently Dol Del ly's voice Whispered her name. "Elizabeth are veu awake, Eliza beth?" Elizabeth sat up in bed. "les, sue wnispered uacu, "yes- is nnytntng tne matter.'" "I want te talk te jeu. De jeu lulnd If I put en the light?" "Ne." Delly found the switch, and cles-ed the deer uehliul her. nue ioekcu very pale- ami tired as she steed there at the feet of the bed. There was n pink rose dying in her frock, and her eyes were heavy rei want or sleep. l. WWY VVWn P VWr mru mm r ir ,. - m. iVIHiiJ.l V '"WR fVCT ' im I tfl III.
