In ber heart, she was nuwlliing to

They bad both gone oet of her

her. But she felt nothing that

This was a far different scene
Froin that very English one. Ther.
were glittering uniforms, olive faces
under fez or turbot,, dark-skinned
attendants in picturesque and col-
ourful costume. The music cutin
from a famous orchestra, and the
whole gathering watt Pervaded by
the Oriental atmosphere.
To Merle, It seemed half unreal.
She was glad to dance again, to be
made conscious, by the manner of
the men she danced with, that she
was young and beautiful, but the
sense of something missing, of beer,{
alone in opii'b, even stele she seem-
ed part of a gay crowd, would not
leave her,
She :Upped away presently, and
went out to the dimly -!ft terrace.
The gardens lay dark and myster-
lout below and above was the vel-
vet -blue darkness of tbe Egyptian
sky, gemmed with brilliant stars.

'rim bad worn his likeness some.
Omen when She clad clothed him
with her ideals of chivalry and tattle
fulness. And Guy, whose ides had
been a wrong to Tim, had held Iter,
for one diiirlous 4nomen?t as the
dream•Iover might,
Tim, whom she had known so
long, was already in the land of
shadow.% while the man she had
known for a day, was haunting her
in her thoughts, and would eat
leave her.
"Merle i"
The voice, low as it was, reached
her clearly, It came from beneath
the terrace where she 810od, and
her eyes, accustomed now to the
dint light, saw a figure emerge from
the shadow of the shrubs, a face
looking up at her,
"I'm coming up," said Guy Deven
lob,
The next she knew, he was climb-
ing the wall with the aid of the
stone carving and the tall shrubs
that grew beside it, He swung
himself up to the broad ledge of the
balustrade, and over it, to stand be-
side her.
She was breathless as they stood
looking in each oeeher's faces,
"Oh, 'why did you do that " sbe
cried foolishly.
"It was quicker than going round
to the steps, he answered. "The
quickest way is always best"
"Is It You might have fallen."
"Oh. no. It's marvellous to see
you here."
It's mulvellous to be here,' she
auswered,
"Is Egypt all you dreamed?"
"More- 'mut•h morel"
'I'm so glad"
But '11ai did the glory of Egypt
matter With a thousand things
to say, they were saying nothing.
Iia might have dt•opped from the
skies, so soddenly he had appeared
before ber, and they were talking as
any chance acquaintance might,
Het' brain seemed reeling benesth
the sudden shock of jo,t, and yet
she was tongue-tied. He was
standing betide ber, not even
touching her hand, yet his nearne_-
VMS overpowering.
He was silent. too, Just looking ,it
tier as if lie would read her
thoughts.
"So—it's all eight." he said after
that long pause, "'I'ni glad—l'nt
veiny glad l"
She wondered what he meant, She
was hewildered by her owls emo-
tions.
"Will you dance with me just

Boated out to her. Here and there
were little groups and pairs who sat
at the tables, and loitered by the
balustrades. . Ther,: were a. few
dint lights, but where Merle stood it
was almost dark.
There was a rustle amidst some
flowering shrubs below the terrace.
Its perfume was wafted to her,
completing the strange spell that
was woven around her.
If only the companion for whom
she vaguely longed had been beside
her, feeling as she dire the tempell.

!bat bygone night,

were dancing there, in and out of
the archways lead11116 le the Inilj,
room.
But (WY did not take Merle in,
They stayed on the terrace moving
to the music that carne from the
lighted hall, They moved ad if
but one impulse swayed thele, end
there had never been a dance like
that for Merle before.
She gave herself up utterly; every
pulse in her body responsive, as
without conscious effort, as if she
bad no will but this, her Leet, iter
limbs, her whole body, followed In
the rhythmic motion. Her lips
were hungry for ewclt a kiss as
she had known, She wanted him to
held her closer yet, and never let
her go,
But the music died away in ell-
enee, and they paused, Mile clasped
together.
,, He lifted her hand, and kissed her
ed to his, unconsciously entreated,
"Tbank you, dear," he said, 'That
vas wonderful, I shall always re-
member;"
He released her then, and with a
chill forboding she waited.
"I must go now," he said, 'Good-
bye, Merle, You don't know what
Ft means to me, to have had this
glimpse of you, and to know that all
is well."
Her voice came in pitiful jerks,
"Aren't you staying here then ''
"'No, dear. I'm off again to -night.
So it's just hail and farewell."
He titled ehr hand, and kissed her
argentite. The very mockery of a
cards, it seemed to her.
Then she was standing alone, and
he had vuniehed in the darknes ,
suddenly, as mysteriously, as he bad
appeared.
She stood leaning by the terrace
wall, all her being in a tumult, She
felt, only fax more intensely, that
fierce impulse which had made ber
strike his cheek.
But Timothy did not count now,
Not in loyalty to him bad she re-
sented Guy's power over her,
