THIS BEGINS THE 8TCRY
Elizabeth Convert, a demur&ceun-
trvairl, pretty in spite of her old-
' tothtenrd dowdy dressing, is visiting
Yathienable relatives fit Londen. 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."

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."

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
