A short and stout gentlem writing furiously at a paper table sprang to his feet as Colbridge came forward. “Good lord—it’s Dick! man. I'd no idea that you back so soon. “Sit down.

And I'm hanged if I can find an- other pal.” “How about female society? is occasionally the evils.” “Really?” Dick pitched the remain- der of his cigar into the fire and flushed oddly. “For a man married a couple of years, you're an obstinate old optimist, Jim.” He paused reminiscently. ‘There was a woman on the Ostend boat with a face like a buffalo. She found out in some miraculous way that I had a bankinz account and was unattached. ...It was horrible!” “Poor, unprotected male! I'm afraid you've returned to even greater dan- gers.

It was during the long gap that separated dinne; from the arrival of first guests that Colbridge experi- enced a wave of something akin to and self-pity. Independence cf action and absence of worries seem- ed an inadequate compensation for the things™he had missed. It dawned up- him that the servant question, chimneys and sticky fingered able sequels to the honeymoon. His thoughts wandered persistently to days spent in Belzium when a woman’s com- panionship had filled a gap in his life 50 naturally and completely that she had seemed but the embodiment of an- other side of his own nature. And, in his ignorance, he ‘had had visions of a vaguely beautiful possibility becom- ing a certainty, which the telegrdin de- of remaining abroad intclerable, and he had England within a fort ht of her departure.

His dread of an encounter was blended with a sharp, reckless longing. In any case, he would be almost certain to her, but le an actual meeting before his were steady enough to bear the strain of light talk and laughter. Fate ordained that he should be call- ed away when at last she arrived, and it was nearly an hour later before they came face to face in a set of the lancers. Miss North was obviously astonish- ed. Colbridge thanked Heaven for the music and the quick movement tha had helped him to recover his shaken self-control. Each revelation of her delicate beauty seemed to smite him like a physical blow. Her bright little ned of recognition carried him straight back to those days in Belgium when he had drifted so near to the rapids of utter self-abandonment, to— “To making a fool of himself for her amusement,” added Reason. The dance ended in the usual laugh- ter and flurry. He piloted his partner —a volutle lady of forty—back to her seat, and stood talking aimlessly until Jimmy, who had been lurking in the distance, swooped down as the music struck up a waltz and freed him. “Look here, old man, you said you knew the Norths of Walsall. Well, why on earth don’t you come and speak to the girl over there—the one in the white dress, I mean, sitting in pensive melancholy? Probably her partner's forgotten her! ‘If—as -I- fancy—he is young Dowson ploughing his way along with that Freeman zirl, she's had a lucky escape.’ He caught Dick by the latter, raising his eyes, could the girl was watching them with amusement. Since there was no es- cape he crossed to where she was seat- ed alone among half a dozen empty chairs, “Behold a distressed damsel,” she said, gayly, as Dick dropped into the scat beside her,” “deserted by both chaperone and partner. Put not your trust in gentlemen who won't write plainly cn their programs.” “A young man of the name of Dow- son is the criminal, isn’t he?” said Col- bridge. “In which case his present partner is paying pretty heavily for an Colbridge watched the dancers see the- sleeve, and See the | young | zhs | | and a heap more another | ten minutes we shall be able to get | : honor unto which she was not born... | How -lonz have you been staying in l.ondon, Miss North?” “Only a week.or so, with friends.

Your duty lies be- fore you. And mine is among the eat- ables, so: goodby.” With a wave of her hand, she rose and departed. Dick dropped into his seat again and for some moments sat watching the dancers with absent, moody intentness. He formulated and abandoned half a dozen excuses for es capin With Jimmy's warniag ringing in his ears he had no excuse for run- ning into danger, but there ould: he no difficulty in keeping the conversa- pion in safe and easy channels. And so, indeed, he found it, as the old charm of her personality asserted itself. Mrs. Sullivan, watching unseen from afar, smiled the smile of.the suc- cessful conspirator at each ripple of laughter from the distant seat. Paris they discussed, Rome and Naples— the reminiscences of two months’ trav- el along the regular tourist routes, ho- tel life and Continent amusements. Only he made no allusion to Bruges and the little Belgian villages where her holiday and his dream had ended. Once or twice she wandered on danger- ous zround, but Dick set his teeth, and found a- grim satisfaction in baffling her every reference to those last days. He watched her with hungry, furtive eyes, unwilling to admit the pure de- light that her mere presence gave him. Her program slipped to the floor, and as he stooped to recover it he saw that | initials and the space between Jimmy's was vacant, and was ashamed, then angered at his own relief. A fool and his folly! How many men had she sacrificed to her idle amuse- ment? And even now she triumphed in the conquest of a fresh victim. He was swept by a revulsion of feel- ing. Her voice at his side precipitat- ed a sudden resolution. “Have you heard from your friend Mr. Myles, lately, Mr. Colbridge—the one: who: stayed at Bruges for a day or two? We saw in the papefs how splendidly he had done at Oxford.” “Dennis Myles? Yes, I had a letter from him a few days azo. He has left the college, given up his career, and gone to India.” “Given it up!” echoed the girl in astenishment. “I thought he was going to do such splendid things.” “So he might have done”—Dick’s voice was cold and even— ‘if a woman had not. broken his heart and ruined his life.’ She gazed at him Tousln. “How dreadful. Tell me about it.” “There isn't much to tell. He met her and fell utterly and hopelessly in love. She, liking admiration, probably lured him on. And then he learned that she was a woman who played with men’s hearts for amusement. The story is as old as Cleopatra's.” “Was she beausinuren “Beautiful.” At the passion in his voice the girl stole a quick glance at his bowed head. “Then you met her?” she said, a new softness in her voice. *1-diq.’’ “I remember Mr. was a handsome boy. she was like.” “The woman who ruined him was lovely enough to turn the head of any man,’ he said slowly. ‘And she was young and clever, and—’ “Tell me what she looked like,” sisted the girl. “Lokked like? 1 am a poor hand at descriptions, but’—— Colbridge broke off then continued, : almost Myles well.
