wished to put real life into the pages
of his novel. So business as well as
curiosity took Dudley Grey to Keston,
and if he had another reason he kept it
to himself.
He walked leisurely from Bromley to
the Common,heaitating when he reach-
ed that picturesque bit of landscape,
and feeling. half disposed to walk on
swiftly into the heart of green Stihey
untilit was thne to make for the near-
est railway station and home. Then
the Sound of Voices was borne to hirct on
the qummer wind ; merry laughter and
liglan music ; and. when he was stand-
ing on the bridge dividing the two lower
lakee of Keston, he could see the garden
party in full force on the higher ground,
and be a witness to the enjoyment Of
the 'Scene without epptoaching it too
dlosely. If he had an idea of intruding
upou the company he abandoned it at
once; he was quite content to lounge
&wan an hour in the distance lietening
to the far off music, and watching what
seeened frem his solitary standpoint the
general happiness of the cominernity.
He would have been glad to catch a
glinapse of Zeph, to see how she looked
in her holida-y diens, and. in tbe sun-
shine that gloeved upon the landscape,
lent,' after he was not particularly
anxfoits about it She was a Rice little
woman -who would, look well in any-
tteirig, and he only hoped that she had
found a better companion for herself
then a “ pasty:face" that day. He
snanked a cigar and leaned against the
railing of the bridge, and dropped off
Mkt a dreamy atate,helf torpor and hall
reverie, until the rippling laughter of
two girls:who -were running through the
leraekep_ on the further bank turned his
attention in a new dieection. One was
tall, and the other stout, and both were
young. They were conceeling them-
salvesetrom their lover& perhaps, or glad
to get from the orowd for a while, and
thiey came on seviftly through the ferns
and grass and round the bend of the
water's edge toward the barrister.
Conae along Zeph • here's a little
peace and quietuess this way," Dudley
heard the teller young evemen say. "We
have had. enough of Ben and Charlie for
.thonext half hour."
urely as a garden. party of this description crispness, but I would rather go, should offend her, it was not, likely he GO D
" I should think we had," answered.
Zeph, and then the girl with whom he
had danced at the Graiedison ROCMS
tripped along in white metslin like e
fairy, arid, followed by her companion,
passed Dudley on the bridge. Both
girls looked at Dudley as they hurried
as a habit of Grandison girls to
look about them a little—and the teller
girl laughed., net too modestly perhaps,-
at the grave handsome Icanoer. Zeph
traced Dudley and tri.pped by in
utter ignorance of her old panther, and
he let her pass him, and. then suddenly
and impulsively cried,
Zeph 1"
The girls stopped, and the younger
and prattler looked shyly from under the
radial:toe of a hat, all maize and white
silk trimming, at the gentleman who had
addressed her thus familiarly
h .
I have not the urter," she said very
modestly and ("Wetly ; I—I do not re-
member you really."
"It's tiie gentlemen's fun," said the
other laughina loudly; " heard me
call you Zepht). Didn't you now ?"
44 Oh no 1" answered Dudley. "1 have
met this -young lady before, oely her
memory i'i at fault a little, and. partners
are numerous et the Grandison.,
'
Zeph regarded him more intently and
then clapped her hands softly together
after an old habit of hers and smiled,
haff in surprise and half in recognition
of him.
• "1 kuow 1" she cried ; '4 I know now.
It was nearly two Months ago—one
Ttmsday night. You danced a waltz
with me."

Dudley.
ntOf course, I remember everything"
"Everything—ere yen quite sore?"
he said metaingly.
Zeph, blualied very much and looked
away from him.
, I have not forgotten," she said.
Then she faced him again, and added,

fal part of the world ?"
no ; I sin e true Londoner,' he
atiaswerea.

bin' to -day r'

• "We have a garden pertieliere from

1 "Yo. I should not have come had.

"Haven't joined the party. Well—
no—not at presept. It is hardly likely
that I shall, he added, 'tit is getting
late and yea will soon be going home-
ward."
" Yes ; but what did you come all this
- way for ?" asked the curious girl.
Was surprised to fiud that Zeph's com-
panion answered quickly for him, and
very much to the purpose. There was
iioinan tug about the bush with. Carrie
4eaundere. She -was six and twentylia,d
danced for years at the Grandison, and
knew human life tolerate:4 well.
!, " What's the good of anking that silly
question, Zeph?" she cried half indig-
nantly., "You know all about it as

Isere, though."
"1 beano appointment with the gen-
tleman. Beery."
"Upon my honor, she had not,"added
• Dudley, in her defense. •
"Yeti naight spare ma a :few minutes
sober eonversation, young lady, after
coming all this way inf searoh of you."
In search of Me—really? Yon ?"
encl. the blue oyes opened wider and
wider in their astonishment, and the
fair cheeks took a deeper tinge of criroe
Son into them.
"Yes. I,thoug-ht I should like to see
you again," he confessed.
“ But I might not have been here af-
ter all. • It was a chance. Father did
not like my coming."
"He is a -wiser father than I thought
he was," said Dudley, dryly; "But you
have a will of your own?"
"Yes, 1 heve."
"Ad there was an attraction here
that you could not -withstand?"
"Perhaps there, -was—perhaps there
wasn't," said she saucily.
" Ben the beloved?"
"Ben, indeed!" and the maize and
white hat was tossed to and fro with a
disparaging movement that would have
seriously -wounded the feelings of th,e
absent plumber.
" Well, have yote enjoyed. the holiday?"
inquired Dudley.
" Very inuche I work too hard. not to
enjoy being out in the country."
You axe going to the ball in the
evenhig?"
“ Of course- I am."
"-You'll hill yourself with pleasure,
and there'll be an eud of you,' Dudley
remarked.
41I don't care to live long,'.' was the
strange answer; " I don't want to grow
old."
" Why not ?"
"NObody will care for me when I'm
old."
"Ben will, if you treat Ben well,"
said. Dudley.
Zeph stamped her foot impatiently at
his further introduction of Ben's name
into the discourse, and almost frowned
when Dudley laughed at her vale-
menee.
"I -wish you would not talk of Ben,"
she cried, “ he is nothing to do with
you.''
" No; Heaven be praised. 1" •
"And I haven't -time to stay any
•
longer."
“ Thank you for staying at all, Zeph.
May I say Zeph?" he asked.
"No you mayn't. It's like your im-
pudence.",
"You are not angry because I came
all this way to see you ?" he inquired
" You never tlid."
" I did, indeed."

she said, looking down. "What did.

"What does a man go out of his way
to see a pretty girl for, as a rule?" ask-
ed. Dudley.
" gan't say," she answered with her
blue eyes sperlding ; men are such odd
creatures 1" -
"Besides 1 wented to ask you a ques-
tion." I •
"You have asked. me a dozen al-
ready."
"One more will make e, baker's dozen,
then, Zeph."
" What is it ?"
"Why did you not come to meet inc
at the corner of Frisk street on the Taos -
d y following the inieeht I saw you at
t e Granclison?" he inquired.
"Were you there ?" she asked cari-
ou sly.
"Good.by, sir," answered Zeph.
She went away among the bracken
towards the revelers, looking beck once
at him and*eving her b.a,nd in return
to his salutation before she disappeared
among the trees.
" She's a Iciirious girl,"he soliloquized,
"a nice girl certainly, end above her
class altogether. Now, many a man
would hunt that actor girl to death—to a
moral death, if possible. What black -
hearted devils there are in the world to
be sure ! How easeafor one of them, if
he were good-looking and clever and
young, to talk this semnfast little coach,
out of her honest sphere into wrong be-
fore sheknew where she was! Poor lit-

The ball at the Grae0-ison Room§ was

his season in e blaze of triumph. There
was hardly standing room among the

good-bye to Smiles till next September.

a smut gray meriim trimmed with soar -

it was Zeph's fault if she did not "hook"
him before the evening was over.

"Because I thought afterwards it was
not right."
"You did think of A again?"
“ Oh yes; for days. And I made up
