She looked up at him then, and two
big teirs ovcrllewed and splashed down
n te ber coat. '
'Yeu1 were there!" she said. "If
youcin'ge there, why can't I?"
Pit.Roysten laughed bitterly.

tlM deliberately: "Yeu see. Enid

' '"In-yes. I did," Elizabeth said
filntly. "But but I never thought

'There was n little silence; then

Sh saw the wftve of color that ruihed
te hi face,
"Geed I,erd! De yeii think clothes
re the only things that, matter In
life?" he asked angrily,
"It seems aslf they ure in Londen,','
Elizabeth said; but she followed when
he led the way and WAS thankful te
And that the restaurant was ' quite
email and unpretentleua and that there
were very few pedpTe present.
Roysten .cheie a tame In the corner
and handed her the menu.
' "Please order what you like." But
ahe shook her head, ,
"I can't; you' de Itpleaac'." Her
color came and went nervously. "I'.vc
never been In a place like this In my
life."
She waa grateful te' hlra because he
did net smile; grateful te him be
cnuse he ordered without further ar
gument. ' ' . . -
It was only when tne meai was nn
ished ami the .waiter had brought coffee
that Roysten said: "
"And new will you let .me ibik te
you?" ' i
"Talk te mc!" He had bcen telklng
all the time, she thought, platitudes
abeu't the' weather nnd the feed and a
new dance that had just nrrlved from
America ; but new his whole manner
seemed te change te great earnestness
and he went en without giving her
time te speak. '
"I had n little sister" very much like
you. She's dead, but whenever you
leek t me there Is something in your
eyes thnt reminds mc" of her, and se I
hope . will you try and leek
upon mc as n n sort of big brother
for n few minutes while 1 talk te
you?"
Elizabeths eyes fell.
"Please go en," she said.
She eat playing with ner coffee
spoon while he talked, and against her
will her resentment and anger died
away as she listened te his quiet, kind
voice as he tried te point out te her the
felly of what she had done. "
"Yeu must never speak te a
stranger like thnt again," he added
earnestly, and Elizabeth lifted ber eyes
te soy, "But If she Is your wife,, surely
it would have been all right?" '
An inexplicable sort of emotion
crossed his face and hc laughed. -
"I don't want te discuss my wife,"
he said. "I only Wnnt you te premise
mc that In future you will net be se
foolish. If veu reallv want te learn te
dance, I shall be only, tee pleased te give
you lessens, ns I said before, or te ar
range for you te have lesnenn with
some ene cite. If you like, I will -all
nnd see your aunt about it." His
eyes flashed momentary t amusement.
"After all, it would merely be n ques
tion of n business arrangement." hc
added. "And she can but show rac the
deer, at the worst." '
Elizabeth flushed painfully.
"Ob, I should hate her te be rude te
you." she said.
He laughed at that. "I bavc n pretty
tough hide. Nothing she can say will
have much effect, I premise you. Have
some mere coffee."
He refilled her cup.
"What made you teach dancing?"
Elizabeth asked suddenly.
He shrugged his shoulders. "Hob "Heb "Hob
seu's choice, I fancy. I came out of
the army and could net get a job. 1
was net qualified, you sec. Before the
war broke out there was no need for me
te work, unfortunately. I bad plenty
of money, or at least I thought I had.
Then my father died, and I found that
there was nothing left when his debts
were paid, se I had te leek round.
'What can you de?' was the question I
was always asked whenever I went after
a job, and I had te be truthful nnd ad
mit that there was nothing I could de
in the useful line. Then the dancing
craze came, nnd that was a line I did
knew something about, se I bought a
piano ana a gramopnene ana nircu a
room, and well, there I am. It's a
rotten job, I suppose, from some peo
ple's point of view, but it's a living,
anyway."
Net Really an Ugly Duckling
"Yeu dunce beautifully!" said Eliza
beth, with a glowing memory of that
one never-te-be-forgotten night.
1 "De I?" He looked amused. "I
used te be fend of it. If you only knew
hew I loathe it new!"
"Really!" She was incredulous. She
had quite lest her shyness; she
felt as if n firm basis of friendship
had been established between them dur
ing that last hour.
"Who was the girl in the gray
shoes?" she asked suddenly. "The
girl you were with at Paddlngten?"
He bestltated a moment, as if he had
forgotten ; then he laughed.
"Ob, she was only a pupil! We met
quite by chance."
"I see." Elizabeth's eyes grew ret
rospective. "She was beautifully
dressed," nhe added wistfully.
Jloysten laid down Ills cigarette and
looked at iicr steadily.
"Why de you think se much about
clothes!" he asked.
She sighed and shook her head.
"Perhaps because I've never had any
nice ones. Perhaps because all my life
I shall remember that dance where I
met you and hew awful I felt next te
every one else. sue leaned Her elbows
en the table, and resting her chin
in her hands, looked at him with eager
eyes.
"IT ever I have any money," she
said in quick excitement, "I am going
te nuy cierncs anu cietnes till you
can't chink! I am going te have my
hair done as all the girls you knew de
theirs. I am going te bhew every one
thut I'm net reully such un ugly duck
ling." She Inughcd and Nat back in
her chair. "But I never shall have any
money," Mie snld dispiritedly again.
"Once I thought I might have some
when mv uncle died that was why I
went home after that dance, you knew.
There was n wire for me when we get
back, and I had te go. He had died
suddenly, and he left all his money te a
hospital 20,000 pounds. That's a let
of money, isn't itVJ.
"Yes."
"I thought it was. I had n hundred
pounds, that was all, and new that's
nearly all gene."
He nulled. "Net en clothes?"v he
asked.
She shook her head.
"Ne." But she did net tell him
where it had gene; it seemed some
how a thing of which te be ashamed,
te think thnt she had been virtually
robbed of It by her own cousin.
The waiter camote the table.
"Will you have anything mere, sir?"
Roysten shook his head.
"Ne. thanks; the bill, runt's all."
He looked at his watch, nnd a startled
expression cres.ieu jus face, "r had
no idea it was se lute." 1I looked
at Elizabeth. "U'h nearly 10."
Klie wuh net nt all disturbed.
"Oh, It won't matter," she said.
"My aunt uml Delly are never in till
ever se late. Have we get te go?"
"I think we must."
She rose reluctantly ; far the last two
hours, she had been quite happy, nnd
she wondered why. Earlier In the eve
ning she bad hated Roysten, but new
things seemed te have rimmm! in .
most disconcerting manner.
