However, she got a chair in the hall next n girl with red elbows, nud a satin bodice all rucks, who seemed as partnerless as herself, and who, bring much younger, felt it far more keenly. Susan always tnlked to any girls who happened to bo dullnnd lonely. She remembered a time when she had been much too nhy to venture, to bring out her drawing-block and make covert sketchc", ns she did now, with a cleverness that made ft look at a sort of pictorial duirv sho kept n much-prized privilege among her inends. "Ilather slow work, looking on," hu.arded Susan, whoso keen eyeswero on tho perpetual watch for any ono at all like Peroline's rapturous descrip tion of Captain llndgcnorth. "lie isn't so very good-looking, perhaps, but he has something quite, quite dif ferent from other men about Lini." She of the red elbows looked sur prised but grateful, as she replied: "I think it is horrible. Every time 1 go out it is just the same, and yet 1 always want to come; I teem to lauey that it will renily bo nice at list." "I used to tiiiuk that, too," said Susan, cheerfully, "but it is a mis- take. Homo is tho best place for some of ns." "I know it's wrong," said the other girl, hesitatingly, "but oh, I do feel so dreadfully jealous of pretty people.

" "Well, I call yon downright won derful, mid if there were more girls like you I shouldn't mind things half ns much." Sho did not sperializa the things she meant. Hut Susan was uot atten ling; sho was stariug with nil her mUht at a short man with a fair mustache aud all eyogliss. In his but tonhole there was an orchid, which might have been a blossom plucked from the spray sho wore upon her badly hiiiiuitiK laoo berthe. She rushed to a prompt, nud, us it hap pened, ii correct conclusion. The orchid was ho peculiar. No one else hud Huythiug like it. Still, tho con clusion was somet'liug of n blow to her. ile was looking about and in specting the various con pies curiously, but evidently failed to liud iho object of his search. Susan nud her fricud were partly hidden by a screen, und with a few rapid touches sho sketched him ns he stood. A healthy, ordinary young Lnglishmau, qnito common place, and with no especial character istic beyond an nttructivo soldierly alertuess. It was a very good like ness, for ho kiudly gavo her ten min utes iu which to do it. Her compauioti watchod her pencil admiringly." You hne muJo him rather better looking thtiu ho is," sho commented. Susan laughed softly. "That is be cause this portrait is to be a present to somebody who thinks Captain Au thouy Hridgenorth is different from every oue else in the world, but I can't see it myself, so 1 have had to imagine a little. Hut how white you look. Do you feel faint or ill?" "I hardly know. 1 am a little giddy ; I suppodo it is the heat, or the flow erf", or something." Suvan looked positively pleased. Sho hud formed a bold scheme, and found an unconscious coadjutor ready to hand. "1 will go ami get boiiio water for you. .lust lie back on the cushions nobody euu see you behind the screen. Tho fact was, Susan had decided ou a littlo experiment. For two mouths sho had heard of Anthony Hridgenorth as a quite peerless pcrsou. At lust, she, too, had iu ido a hero of him, so that this ordinary young mnn came us a revolution. Yet she wan certain it was he. Tho question to be decided was whether ho was worthy of l'ero line's tears. Straws show the drift of tho wind. Tho fashion in which ho treutedthis little emergency would be a good gauge of deeper mutters. To ulay preux chevalier to I'erolino in tho f'raceful languor of an indispoti tion that would bo certain to beoom her us everything olso did, was .quite another matter to uquiring two mien damsels as herself nud hor protegee. She walked up to him quite simply and said, without preamble, in the quiet tone ot an old acquaintance: "Oh, Captain ftrilgcnortb, my friend is unwell. I wonder if yon wonld mind fetching her a glass of iced water?" It was a bold stroke, bnt it sno ceeded. Had rue hit on the wrong man, sho waspreparod with an excuse. It was not needed, however. "Of course, I shall be ouly too glad to be of nuy service ; only I nm not sura where tho refreshment tiom is, Fcrhaf g, if you wonld come, too Ho paused, for he could not supply a name, nnd yet she was evidently per fectly familinr with his. Susan nc ceded, with n sense of growing satis faction. Sho liked his voice; she liked his utter indifl'erenco to being seen with such a dress ns hers. "So bounce," she decidod, and bouncn was a quality Susan lontbod. What was older still, ho seemed rrally interested in her conversation nud indifferent to stray glances from cnrefullv made-up eyes. He was shy, and dared not ask the name of this chntty little woman, who seemed to know him ho well. Ho was nlways for getting faces sinco ho had taken to that beastly gla is. Ile gave up wrest ling with it, and then, with a start of surprise, ho sow a loug spray of a quaint orchid ft spray like ono ho had boeu assured by a leading florist was unique, nud for which he had paid accordingly. "JIow curious we should be wearing tho same very uncommon llower?" re marked tho diplomatist in A tono of ensy comment, as sho noticed his start of snrpri.se. They had reached tho oyster bar. It was thronged, nnd glusscs of water take nu immense time to procure. There is (no other order ngaiust which Ja waiter openly ts.jcls; it is so nlieu to his owu tastes. "Very odd, indeed. What I time that man is; your poor fricul will think we arc lost nltogether." "Yes, mine was a present from somebody who wns prevented from coming hers; sho took it out of a bonqn"t." He turned the dull red that is tho masculino equivalent for n blush. "Then you know Mis Froatheroe?" "Very well; iu fact, 1 am she. Didn't you know mo?" Susnn's little eyes twinkled, for alio saw thnt this poor young man thought tho llorist had made some temblo mistake. To fetch glasses of wator was ono thing. To buy ruinously dar flowers to bo worn by a girl who was downright ugly, not even plain, wus qnito another. He was not quick enough to grasp the true aspect of affairs. The glass of water came at this juncture. Captain Hridgenorth looked so very w.estfalluu a ho took it that Susan relented. A rather se rious expression camo across hor faco as they went down the pussugo. "Yes, I am Miss Frotheroe, bnt I think you stayed at Cherrington with my little sister." "Oh, is she here to-night? 1 thought she might be." "No, she is not hero; sho is in dis grace." "Iu disgrace !" Tho ho lowered his voice, and said, ns if to hiuself, with n pretty touch of tenderness : "Tho tjiictn can do no wrong." Evidently ho was very far gone, in deed. They wero buck ngliu by this time, nnd iie administered tho glass of water, very kindly making euger prof fer of uny further help. "You must rest," ho said, in quite n brotherly way, "und then presently you must let me take you iu for a lit tle supper." He forgot that they had not lejcn introduced. Then ln turned anxiously to Su-au : "Have you any dunces left, and if so, will you give me all voil can?" "Will you sit out the rest of this?" They sat dowu, and ugly Susan was tho happiest girl in that ballroom. "I go to India to-morrow," said Authouy Hridgenorth, beooming very serioiu, "but our time is nearly up, uud I shall bo home iu a year. Jt is very hard to mo to go without saying good-by to your sister." "lVroliuo is very young yet," Su san interpolated, with nu indefinite sense of being consolatory. "Hut she is so lovely, thero is no one like her, said the lover, with a couvictiou thut thrillod Susan. A little riicturo of l'eroliue, with tears falling on tho white roses, suggested itself. "That is quite true." "Some, other fellow will get her while I am gone. I am certaiu of it. 1 meant to have spoken to her to-night and told her that she is all tho world to me. You have my very best wishes, nnd they arc hopeful ones. Susan could uot fcuy more, I'oroline's dainty se cret must only bo revealod by her own lips. tier voice was more expresmve than sho guessed.

Still blindfolded, she was placed in a wneeioarrow ana given a ireo uui rather rough ride. Next she was con ducted through an intricate maze or labyrinth. Frequently apparitions, as of witches on broomsticks, ghostly screeches and many a close contact with some hard body were the young novitiate s lot.
