Ccdville broke 4ut into a laugh' at the
deep sigh whiel1 accompanied i these
• words. As a wh le, the thing was gro-
1

No, no," Ed* pleaded: "Don't• -

"Do you think they're nice ?"
"Yese if they were not so mys-
terious."
" Mysterious ?" -

"No• -.-did it, really ?"

"Did you say that ?"
"Words to that effect."
"And what clo you think now ?" -
"Ah, I don't know. You had better

Imogene laughe1 in simple gayety of

"Isis and Osiri . "
" Weren't they gods of some kind'?"
"Little one -h tee deities—not very
much."
"It won't do o go as gods of any
kind. They're always failures. People
expect too ranch of them."
"Yes," said Colville. "That's Mi-
meo nature under all circumstances.
But why go to an Egyptian ball at all?"
"Ob, we must go. If we both staid
away it would make tea at once; and
my object is to keep people in the dark
till the very last moment. Of course it's
unfortunate your having told Mrs. Ams,
den that you were going away, and then
-Wane her -just after you came back with
me tat you. were going to stay. But it
can't be helped. now. And I don't
- really care fore it But don't you see
- why I want you to go to all these
• things ?"
" All these things ?"
" Yes ; everything you're invited to
after this. It's net merely for a blind
as regards ourselves now, but if they see
that you're very fOnd of all sorts of gai-
eties, they will sde that you are—they
will understand—" _
There was no need for her to com-
plete the sentence.
Colville rose. d Come'come, my
dear child," he said, "why don't you
end all this at once ? I don't blame you.
Heaven knows 1 bIame no one but my-
self ! I ought to have the strewth to
break away from t lis mistake, but I
haven't. I couldn't sear to see you suf-
fer from pain that I should give you
even for your good. But do it yourself,
Imogene, and for p ty's sake don't foe -
bear from any notion of sparing me. I
have oo wish except for yaur happiness.
And ow I tall trate clearly that no ap-
pear ,ce we can pith on before the world
will deceive the w rld. At the end of

not be the silly, insipid, boy -and -girl
affair that it was now. He went to these
- places in the character of a young man,
but he was not readily accepted or
recognized in that character. They gave
hint frumps to take out to supper,
t mothers and maiden aunt, and if the
- mothers were youngish, they threw off

a to become aware for the first time that

faced with silk. ,

The sameevening,. as he stood leanidg

; a young fellow with whom she was be-
gineing a quadrille, he heard her taking
him to task., .
"Why dolyou say ' Sir ' to Mr. Col-

"Well, I know the English, laugh at
us for doing it, and say it's like ser-
vants; but I never feel quite. right an-
swering just Yes' and ' No ' to a man

This was one of the Inglehart boys,
whom he met at nearly all of these par-
ties, and not all of whom were so re-
spectful. Some of them treated him
upon an old -boy theory, joking him as
freely as if he were one of themselves,

In the ensuing fortnight a great' many:
gayeties besides the Egyptian ball took
place, and Colville went wherever he
and limozene were both invited. He de-
clined the quiet dinners which he liked,
and which his hearty appetite and his
habit of talk fitted him to enjoy, and ac-
cepted invitations to all sorts of -even-
ings and At Homesewhere dancing oc-
cupied a modest corner of the card, and -
usurped the chief place in the pleasures.
At these places it was mainly his busi-
ness to see linoeene danced with by
others, but sometimes he waltzed with
her himself, and then he was compli-
mented by people of his own age, who
had left off dancing, upon his vigor.
They said they could not stand that sort
of thing, though they supposed, if you
kept yourself in_practice, it did not come
