It was addressed, shrugged her
shoulders- and consigned It te the

The same fate befell the only let

"She's all I have in the world,"
Elizabeth was always' reminding her
self. '"I must like her! I just roust!"
Se sne worked conscientiously and
did her utmost te please, but the salt
had gene out of life.
Even the many new) frocks which
madame had chosen for her only
awakened a passing enthusiasm. Al
though she did net realize it, she had
only wished te wear pretty clothes
se that Roysten might see her as 'he
saw the ether women of the world,
nnd new he was no longer with her
It mattered very little what she were.
But today madame wan unusually
particular about Elizabeth's toilet;
she kept coming into the room when
the girl was dressing and complaining
and criticizing.
"Yeu arc tee pale, tee trlste. Where
are your rose, ma petite?"
She considered Elizabeth for a
moment with her head en one side,
and then went off like a whirlwind te
her own room, returning with some
rouge. When Elizabeth objected, she
stamped a high -heeled shoe at her.
And who Is the mistress, I ask you?"
she demanded. "Is It you, or Is It I?
err well; then you de as I tell you."
She put a little color Inte the girl's
cheeks, and seemed well pleased with
the result. "Ab, new! Mlstalre Far

is It net?" she said, nodding her head
rigorously.
Elizabeth glanced at herself In the
glass and quickly away again.
V hat would Pnt Roysten think If
he saw her? she wondered.
She cared less than nothing what
tarmer thought of her. She greeted
him cold y when he arrived. He had
brought his own enr, an extravagant
ly smart affair enameled In palest gray
nnd upholstered te match.
Elizabeth thought It perfection; she
told him thnt she had never ridden In
Mich comfort In her. life. "It must

He looked down at her. "Well, whv

whenever you like. I wltl teach you

There was nn air of ownership In
the way he spoke, nnd Elizabeth shrank
from him a little.
"Oh, no, thank you," she said quick
ly, "I should be tee frightened te drive.
anyway.'1
He. laughed. "I shall ask madarae
If I may net give you lessens," he
said. "After all" he stepped abrupt
ly, struck by a certain coldness In the
girl's face, and hurriedly changed the
subject, asking hew the dancing was
progressing.
Elizabeth sighed.
"I de my best, but It's much mera
difficult than I thought," she admitted.
"They are net working you tee
hard?" he asked. "I will net have you
worked tee hard," and again that lit
tle note crept into his voice which Eliz
abeth vaguely resented.
"Oh, no," she said. She glanced
bnck at Mme. Scnestls, who had taken
the back seat of the car uncomplain
ingly, and wished it was possible for
them te change places. She never felt
nt her ease with Farn.er.
He saw the glunce and misinter
preted it.
"Hew Did you Get te Knew Nell?"
"She cannot hear what wu ure say

nunt te talk te you. Will you luucn
with me alone one day?"
She flushed nervously.
"Oh. I couldn't."
"Why net?" He frowned. He was
net used te having his invitations se
emphatically refused.
Elizabeth shook her bend.
"I don't knew at least, I don't
think mudatne would like it."
"I will manage her," be said lightly,
"If that's all you're worrying about."
It was net all that she was worry
lug about, although she did net like
te say se, but they reached the res
