AN IMMENSE SALE

IX. i
The talk was Iightewo d -play, such as
depends upon the talkers -own mood for
its point or its pointlessness. Between
two young people of equal years it
might have had meanings to penetrate,
to Sigh over, to question. Colville
.
found it delicious to be pursued by the
ingenuous fervor of this young girl,
eager to vindicate her sincerity in. pro-
hibiting him from his own ironical de-
preciation. Apparently, she had a sen-
timental mission of which he was the
object: he was to be convinced that he
was unnecessarily morbid ; he was to be
cheered up, to be kept in heart. 1
" I must believe in you after this,"
he said, with a smile which his mask
hid. ,
I
"Thanks " she breathed. It seemed
to him thatler hands cloeed convulsive-
ly upon his in their light clasp.
The pressure sent a real pang to his
heart It ferced her name from his
lips- 44 Imogene ! Ah, I've no right to
call you that.'
"Yes."
"From this out I promise to be 20
years younger. But no one is to know
it but you. Do you think you will
know it? I shouldn't like to keep the
- secret to myself altogether."
"No; I will help you. It shall be
our secret."
She gave a low laugh of delight. He
convinced himself that she had entered
into the light spirit of banter in which
he believed that he was talking.
The music ceased again. He whirled
her to the seat where he had left Mrs.
Bowen. She was not there, nbr the
others.
Colville felt the meanness of a man
who has betrayed his trust, and his self-
contempt was the sharper because the
trust had been as tacit and indefinite
as it was generous. The effect of Mrs.
BOWellY$ absence was as if she had in-
dignantly flown, and left him to the
censequences of his treachery.
He sat down rather blankly with Imo-
gene to wait for her return, it was the
only thing they could do.
It had grown very hot. The air was
thick with dust. The lights burned
through it as through a fog.
I believe I will take off my mask,"
she said. "I can scarcely breathe."
"No, no," pretested Colville; "that
won't do."
"I feel faint," she gasped..
His heart sank. " Don't," he said,
incoherently. "Come with me into the
vestibule, and get a breath of air."
He had almost to drag her through
-the crowd, but in the Vestibule she re-
eived, and they returned to their place
again. He did not share the easy con-
tent -with which she recognized the con-
tinued absence of Mrs. Bowen: I -
"Why, they must be lost. But isn't
it perfect, sitting here and watching the
maskers?"
Perfect," said Colville, distract-
edly- • 1
"Don't you like to make romancei
about the different Ones ?" -
It was on Colville's tongue to say that
he had maele all the romances he wished
fel- that evarriog, but he only anssvere-d,
" Oh, very.'
" Poor Mrs. Bowen," laughed the
girl. "It will be such a joke on her,
with her punctilious notions, getting lost
from her protegee at a Carnival ball!
shall tell every one." ,
"Oh no, don't," said Colville, in
horror that his mask scarcely con-
cealed.
"Why not?" 4 -
-It wouldn't be at all the thing." -
"Why, are yolf becoming European-
ized too ?" she demanded. "1 thought
yon went in for all sorts of inconven!
tionalities. Recollect your promise]
You must be as impulsive as I am,"
Colville, staring anxiously about in
every direction, made for the first time
the reflection that most young girls
preba,bly conform to the proprietiee
without in the least knowing why. : s
" Do you think," he asked, in deeper -1,
ation, "that you -would, be afraid to lad
left -here a moment while I went
about in the crowd and ,tried to find
them ?" •
"Not at ail," she said: " Don't be
gone long."
"Oh no," he answered, pulling off
his mask. "Be sure not to move from
here on any account."
He phme°ed, into the midst of the
crowd thatbuffeted him from side to
side as he struck against its masses.
The squeaking_ and .gibbering maskg
mocked in their falsetto at his wild-eyed
naked face thrusting hither and thither
among them.
"I saw your lady wife -with another
gentleman," cried one of them, in a
subtle misinterpretation of the cause of
his distraction.
The throng had immensely increased;
the clowns and harlequins ran shrieking
up and dome and leaped over one an-
other's heads.
It was useless. He went back to Imo,
gene with a heart -sickening fear that she
too might have vanished.
• But she was still there.
"You ought to have came sooner,"
u she said, gayly. "That red mask has
been here again. He looked, as if he
wanted to make lave to me this time.
But he didn't. If you'd been here you
might have asked him where Mrs.
Bowen was."
Colville sat down. He had done;
what he could to mend the matter, and
the time had come for philosophical sub-
mission. It was now his duty to keep
up Miss Graham's spirits. They were
both Americans, and from the national
stand -point he was eimply the young
girl's middle-aged bachelor friend.
There was nothing in the situation for
him to beat his breast about.
"Well, all that we can do is to wait
for them," he said.
Oh yes," she answered easily-
" be sure to come back in the
course of time."
a
They waited a half-hour, talking
somewhat at random, and still the
others, did not conie. But the rei mask
came again. He approached Chulle,
and said, politely
"La signora e partite,"
"The lady gone?" repeated Colville,
taking this to be part of the red mask's
iolce.
"La bambina pareve poco bene."
" The little one not well ?" echoed
Colville again, rising. "Are you jok-
ing
?"
he mask made a deep murmur of
polite deprecation. "I am not capable
of such a thing in a serious affair. Per- •
hapa you know me" he said, taking off
his mask; and in further sign of good
faith he gave the name of a painter suf-
ficiently famous in Floreticee
'1 belt your pardon, and thank you,"
said Colville. He had no need to speak
to Imogene; . her -hand was . already
trembling on his arm;
They drove -home in Silence through
the white moolight of the street, filled
everywhere With the gay voices and
figures of the Carnival.
Mile Bowenmetthem at the door of
her apartment, received them with
a. manner that justly distributed 'the
responsibility and penalty of their esca-
pade. Colville felt that a meaner spirit
would have wreaked its displeasure
upon the girl alone. She made short,
quiet answers to all his eager inquiries.
Most probably it was some childish in-
disposition; Effie had been faint. No,
he need .not go for the doctor. Mr;
'Waters had called the doctor, who had
just gone away. There was nothing
else that he could ° 4,0 fel- her. She
dropped her eyes, and in everything
but words dismissed him. She would -
not even remain with him till he could
decently get himself out of the house.
She left Imogene to receive his adieux,
feigning that she heard Effie calling.
"I'm -I'm very sorry," faltered the,
girt "that we didn't go back to her at
. •
once." s
"Yes, I was to blame," answered the
humiliated hero of her Carnival dream.
The clinging regret with which she
kept his hand at parting scarcely con-
soled him for what had happened.
"I will come round- in ethe morn-
ing," he said. "I mist know haw Effie
is."
" Yei ; come." - '
X.
Colville went to Palazzo Pinti next
day with the feeling thathe-wasdefying
Mrs.. Bowen. ;Upon a,, review of the
facts he could not find himselfso leery
much to blame 'for. the occurrences of the
night before, mid heehad not been able
to prove to his 1-eason that Mrs. Bowen
had resented this behavior. She had
not made a scene of `any sort when he
came in with Imogene ; it was natural
that she shoidd excuse herself, and
should wish to he with: her sick child;
she had done really nothing. But when
a woman has chine, nothing she fills the
soul of the an whose conscience
troubles -him wi h instinctive appre-
hension. Ther is then no safety, his
nerves tell him, except in bringing the
affair'whatever: it is, to an early issue
-in having it hut with ther. Colville
subdued the cowardly impulse of his
own heart, which would have deceived.
him - with the suggestion that Mr:
Bowen might- be occupied with Effie,
and it would be bettee to ask for Miss
Graham. He asked for Mrs. Bowen,
and she came in directly.
She smiled in the usual wayrand gave
her hand, as she always did •; ut her
hand was cold, and she l�oked" tired,
though she -said Effie was quite herself
again, and had been asking fin- shim.
"Imogene'has ,been telling her about
your adventure bet night, and making
her laugh." ,
If it had been. Mrs. Bowen's purpose
to mystify him, she could not have done
it more thoroughly than by this bold
treatment of the, affair.He bent a puz-
zled gaze upen I'm glad any of
you have found it amusing," he said; "I
confess that I couldn't let myilelf off so
lightly in regard, to it." She did not re-
ply, and he continued, " The fact is, I
'don't think I behaved very well. I
abused your , kindness to Miss Gra-
ham." .
t' Abused ,my kindness to Miss Gra-
ham," ! ,
41 Yes. When you allowed her to
dance at the .veglione, I ought to have
considered that you were stretching a
points ' I ought to have taken her back
to you' very soon, instead of -tempting-
her-to ,go and walk WitIrme in the cor-
ridor.'
I
"Yes;" said Mrs. Bowen. "So it
was you who proposed it? lima -elm
was afraid that she had. Whate'exo
emplary young people 'you are ! The
way each of you . confess and assuine all
the :blanie would leave the severest
chaperon without a evord."--
Her gayety made C.olville uncomfor-
table. He said, gravely, "What I
blame myself most is that I was not
there to be of use to you when Effie-"
" Oh, you musn't think of that at all.
Mr. Waters was Most efficient.- My ad-
mirer in the red mask was closeathand,
and between them they got Effie .out
without the slightest disturbance.. I
fancy most people thought it was a Car-
nival joke. Please don't think' • of that
agate."
Nothing could be politer than all this.
"And•you won't allow Me to 'Amish
myself for not being there to givo you
even a moral support ?"
"Certainly not. As I told 'Imogene,
young -people will be, young people;
arid I, knew 'hew fond you were of
dancing."
Though it pierced, him, Colville could
not help admiring the neatness of this
thrust.. "1 didn't know you were so
ironical, Mrs. Boiven."
" Ironical ? Net at all." -
"AK! I seeTni not forgiven."
I'm sure I don't know what you
mean."
Imogene and 'Effie caine in. The
child was a little pale, and willingly let
him take her on his knee and lay her
languid head on his shoulder, The girl
had not eged overnight like himself and
Mrs. Bowen; she looked as fresh and
strong_as yesterday.
" Miss Graham," said Colville "if a
-
person to whom you had done a deadly
wrong insisted that you hadn't done any
wrong at all, should you consider your-
self forgiven ?" s
"It would depend upon the person,"
taid the girl, with innocent livelinesS,
recognizing the extravagance in his tone.
" Yes," he said, with an affected pen-
siveness, "so very much depends Upon
the person in such a case." •
Mrs. Bowen rose. "Excuse me
moment'I will be back directly. Don't
get up, please " she said, and prevented
bite with a quick withdrawal to another
room, which left upon his sense the im-
pression of elegant grace, and a smile
and sunny glance. Bat neither had any
-warmth in it.
Colville heaved an involuntary sigh.
"Do you feel'varymuch used 'up?" he
asked Imogene.
. "Not at all," she laughed. "Do
you?",
"Not in the least. My veglione
hasn't ended -yet I'm still practically
at the Pergola. It's easy to keep a
thing of that sort up if, you don't sleep
after you get honie. -

"But you mustn't say you used!
That's forbidden now. Remember your

"Mypromise ? What promise ?"
"Oh, if you've forgetten already ?" •
I reinember. But that was for last
night."
"No,no!:It was for all time. Why
should cireame be so very misleading? I
think there's ever so much in dreathS.
The most wonderful thing is the. waiy
you make people talk in dreams.. It
isn't strange that you should talk your-
self, but that • other people should say

pecting what they say." '

Why day dreams ahe so bad. If yon
make people say what you want, theY
probably don't mean it."
"Don't you think so ?"
"Half the time. Do you ever have
day -dreams ?" he asked Effie, pressink
her cheek against his own.
" 1 d.on't kilo* -what-they are';" she
murmured, with a soft little note of poi
lite regret for he ignorance, if possibly
it incommoded him.
"You will, byl-and-bee" he said, "and
then you must look out for them.
They're Particularly bad in this air. I
had one of them in Florence once that
lasted three months.?'
"What was it about ?" asked the
child. .
Imogene invoiuntarily bent forward.
"Au, I can't tell you now. 'She's

laugh, , wasthinking of something

" Oh We knot's, her, don't we?" he

sion Of a mystery which all children
have.
"We might whisper it," she sug-
gested. • r
" No ; better, wait for some other
time." They w'ere sitting pear a table
where a pencil and some loose leaees of
paper lay. He Pulled his chair a littlel.
closer, and with the child still upon his
knee, began to icribble and sketch at
random. "Ah, !there's San Miniato,"
he said, with a giance frcen the window.
"Must get its outline in. You've heard
how there came te be a church up there?::
No? Well, it shows the sort of a man

the early Christians, and he gave the

Effie. San Miniato was beheaded where
the church of Santa candida standa now,
and he walked all that distance."
Did he have to die when he got to
the. oratory ?" asked the child, with
gentle regret. .
"It appears so," said Colville, sketch-
ing. "He would have been dead by
this time, anyway!, you know."
"Yes," she reluCtantly adneitted.
"I never quite like those things either,
Effie," he said, pre sing her to him.
"The -re were people ruelly put to death

authenticated." ,. -
"I shall really e in to think you be-
lieve such things,' gold Imogene. "Per-
haps you are a Ca holic." -
Mrs. Bowen returned to the room, and
sat down. -,
"There's enoth r fairy story, prettier

,
yet," said Colvillewhile the little girl
drew a long deep - breath of satisfaction,
and expectation. "You've heard of1
the Buondelmonti ?" he asked Imogene.
" oh, it seems to me as if I'd had
nothing but the 1 uonclelmonti dinned

answered, in lively espair: I
