"Beastly afternoon," she said slang
Uy. "Yes; I'm wet through," Elisabeth
said.
There wan a little silence; then she
asked timidly: "I want te get te Al
bany street can you tell me the near
est way?" She hesitated, then added t
"I don't knew much about Londen."
"I thought you didn't," the ether
girl said, net unkindly. ''You're going
a mt out or your way, but I'll ahew
you, If you like."
"Thank you very much," said Elli
abeth, and smiled with mere confi
dence. The ether girl was watching her in
terestedly, "You've come from the country," she
said.
"Yes."
"What for?"
, The bluntness of the question star
tled Elizabeth into a reply. "I've
came te learn dancing."
"Lcnrn dancing! Geed Lord!"
Elizabeth flushed.
"Why net? I suppose you think be
cause I'm net smartly dressed or any
thing It's absurd te try; but I can
dance, I knew I can."
"Of course, you can! Why net?"
me ewcr said hastily. "Who are you
learning with?"
"Nobody jet; my aunt Is against the
whole idea. I'm the peer relation, you
fee," Elizabeth added bitterly. ''I've
only get a hundred pounds In the
wer d, and they're afraid they'll have
te keep me when lt'a gene, se they

added fiercely.
Thorp Was a little silence ; then,
What's your name?" asked the girl
interestedly.
"Elizabeth Oenyers."
And you've only get an aunt?"
"And a cousin."
"Nobody tslse?"
"Ne."
"And they don't want you?"

xne eider girl laughed.
"Hnve I? I'll tnve t,i ..,. t
haven't," she said. "I like beln en
my own. I like te be Independent, but
I was just thinking, if you really want
te learn dancing, nnd don't mind pa,
ing for it, I knew some one who'll de
the trick fer1 you a friend of mine."
Elizabeth's eyes grew eager. "Ileal
ly ! Oh. de you, really?"
The ether girl nodded.
"I de. Here, I'll give you my ad
dress." She rummaged in a shnbbily
smart bas she carried. "My nnme's

Is, at Leonore's. the Court dressmak
ers. It's n rotten job, rotten pay and
rotten treatment, but It's all I can
de. Here's mv address, there's nothing
(mart about it. I've only get a small
flat, but if you like te come along one
evening tomorrow, If you like I'll
llx you up. I de a bit of dancing my
self in the evenings."
"Oh, jeu nre kind."
"I've Get te Shift for M-self"
lhe rather jaded face flushed, and
the darkened cje-j wavered for an In
stant. "Am 1? Oh, well, we'll cut
that out. I've get te shift for my
self, same ns a great many have.
There's only one thing don't tell your
neepie, mat aunt and cousin, or they 11
be sure te queer the whole show.
Premise?"
"Of course."
"Geed! See you tomorrow, then.
It's stepped raining. I'll show you
your way back If you like."
They walked up the wet read to
gether, the one cheaply smart, the ether
hopelessly dowdy.
"There's one thing," the elder said
presently. "You'll have te pay In
advance can you de that?"
"Yes, I can get the money In two
days. I think."
"That'll de. That's your way te
the right, and the second turning takes
jeu Inte Albany street."
"Thank you, thank you ever se
much." Elizabeth's eyes glowed, and
she held out n grateful hand.
Enid Sanger colored In embarrass
ment. "You've no need te be se mighty
grateful," t-hc said laconically. "I
don't knew what jour folks are think
ing of. letting a country cabbage like
you run wild in Londen. Uy-by."
She wned her hand carelessly, nnd,
after waiting for u scared ten min
utes en the curb, Elizabeth rushed
wildly ncress the read and turned into
Albany street.
Her spirits had risen again. She
clutched Enid Sanger's card tightly
in her hand. The way of escape had
come; it would only be a question of
days before she could leave her aunt's
house forever.
She lest herself In exciting dream

before; she would practice se hnrd.
make herself perfect ; and then, then,
perhaps some day she and Tat Itoy-t-ten
would come face te face attain.
and 'the would show him that she was
net the dowdy, countrified girl he had
believed her te be.
Her aunt nnd cousin were both still
out when she get back home, and she
was very glad of It.
"You're wet through, miss," the
in n Id said who admitted her.
Elizabeth laughed excitedly.
"Am I? I forget. But it rained se
hard." She went up te her room and
chnnged her clothes. She must net
take n chill new, just when everything
was beginning te leek se rosy for her.
Ah she brushed her hair, she made
wonderful plans for the future. Pros Pres
cntlj s-lie put the small looking glass,
which steed en n chest of drawers.
en the fleer, nnd in front of It tried
n few of the steps Roysten hnd shown
her.
It was net very successful, ns the
glass was se smnll she only caught a
gllmpi-e of her feet new nnd ngaln;
but the old intoxication rushed back
Inte her bleed, making the future seem
verv near fulfilment.
Presently she heard Dellv's voice
downstairs, and thnt made her think
of last night and the money she had
lent te her cousin.
She would want it back seen for the
lessens Enid Sanger had premised te
arrange for her; she hnd no Iden hew
much lessens cost, but she supposed
vaguely thnt the sum would run a long

When she heard Uelly go te nor
room she went downstairs and knocked
timidly at her deer.
"Come in."
Delly was standing by the dressing
table reading a letter which she thrust
hurriedly out of sight when she saw
Elizabeth.
"What de you want?" she asked
sharply.
Elizabeth flushed.
"Nothing much nt least. I wanted
