It waecertainly one of the best balls of the season, and Miss Chyne's dress was withont doubt one of the most successful articles Of its sort there. Jack Meredith saw that fact and noted it as soon as he came into the room. Moreover, it pleased him, and he was pliesed to reflect that he was no mean critic in such matters. There could be no doubt about it, because he knew as Well as any woman. there. He knew thatMilliceet Chyne was dressed in the latest fashion; .no furbished up gown from the hands of her -maid, but unique'efeation from Bond street. "Weil," she asked in a low *ice as she handed him her progranime, "are you pleased with it?". "Embaently so." She glanced 'down at her own dress. It was not .the nervous glance of the debutante, but the practiced flash of ex- perienced eyes wbich see without ap- pearing to look. "I am glad," she murmured. - .He handed her back the card with the - orthodox smile and how of gratitude, but there was -something more in"his eyes. "Is that what you did it few?" he in- quired. / "Of course," v,tith a glance half coquettish, half hemble. She took the card and allowed it to deep pendent frotu her fan without looking at it. He had Written nothing on it. This was all a form. The dances that were his had been iii - scribal on ethe engagement card' long before by smaller IfIngers than his. She turned to take her attendant partner's arm with a little flaunt, a little movement of the hips, to .bring her dress and possibly her self more preininently beneath Jack Meredith's notice. His eyes followed her with that incomparalaly pleasant society smile which he had no doubt inherited frone his father. Then he turnene and mingled with the well dressed throng, bowing where he ought to bow, asking with fervor for dances in plain but intinential quarters where dances were to be easily obtained. . - And all the while his -father and Lady Cantourne watched. Behind his keen old eyes Sir John watched Jack go up and claim his dance at the hands of Miss Millicent Chyne. He could ahnostaguese what . they said, for Jack was.grave, and she smiled demtirely.

"This way," he said -"through the conservatory." Sir John Meredith and his sell stood in silence looking around them. Fi- nally their eyes met, . "Are you in earnest with that girl?" asked Sir John abruptly. "I am," replied Jack. He was smil- ing pleasantly - "And you think -there is a chance of her marrying you-miless, of course, .something better turns up?" "With all due modesty, I do." Sir John's hand was at his mouth. He stood up his full six feet two and looked hard at his son, whose eyes were level with his own. They were ideal representatives of their school. "And what do you` propose marrying. upon? Shei I understand, has about eight, hundred a year. I respect you too mech to suspect hny foolish notioes of love in a cottage." ,Tack Meredith made no reply.

"What is your objection?" inquired Jack einredith after a little pause. "I object to the girl." "Upon what grounds?" "I shonkl prefer you to marry a' wo- man of heart."

It was not important; it did not come into her life, for at that moment she did not know what her life was.

It is not serious," she said. "I am afraid it is serious, Millicent" He took her hand with a gravity which made matters worse. "What is to be done, Jack?" she said, laying her two hands on his breast and looking up pleadingly. "There are two things," he answer- ed.

"Then I shall be a politician," he answered, with loverlike promptness. "That would be very nice," she said, and the castles she at once began to build were not entirely aerial in their structure. i This was not a new idea. They had talked of polities before as a possible career for himself.

ACK had an' appointment with Millicent Chyne at half paet 11 the next morning -an hour when Lady Cantourue might reason- ably be expected to be absent at the weekly meeting of a society. Jack went lute the first jeweler's shop he saw and bought a plain dia- mond ring. Then he walked on to keep his appointvient witit his affianced wife. Miss Millicent Chyne was waiting for him with that mixture of maidenly feelings of which the discreet novelist only details a selection. When Jack Meredith entered the room ehe was standing near the window, holding back the curtain with one hand and Watching, half shyly, for his advent. What struck her af once was his gravity, and he must_ have seen the droop in her eyes, for he in3mediately assumed the pleasant, half reckless smile which the world of London so- ciety haul learned to associate vrith his name. She saw the diamondling and looked upon it with the beautiful emo- tions aroused by those small otones itt the female breast, but She did not seem to reeognise her own finger with- in the golden hoop. _ILTEM.,..tit j8 mituldatt:-..10.11.4 ..ohe 0/. -121- ' "I don't care," she answered. "Of course," he went on, "I must go awey. That Is the only way to get on in politics in these days.

Whether this comfortiug eoneition of mind arose from long experienee of the ways of doctors or from an acquired philosophy It is not our piece to inquire. But that her opinion was sincere Is not to be doubted. She had, as a matter of fact, gone to the pantomime, leaving the pntient under the immediate eye of his soneefluY. Oscard. During -the last fortyeeight hours auy Oscard 'had made the decision that with.ottt Millicent Marne would not be worth having, and in the hush of the great house he was pondering over this new feature in hie exietente. Like all deliberate men, he was placidly san- guine. Something in the life of asene age sport that he had led had no doubt taught him to rely on. his owi nerve and capacity more than most men do. Is the indoor atmosphere that con- ttains the germ of 'pessimism. leis thoughts cannot be been dis- turbing, for presently his eyes elosed and he appeared to be slumbering. If it was sleep, it 'was the light uncon- scidusness of the traveler; for a sound so small that waking ears could scarce have heard it caused him to lift his lashes cautiously. It was the sound of bare feet on carpet. Through his leshes Guy Oscard saw his father standing on the hearth rug veltbin two yards of him. There was something strange, something unnatu- ral and disturbing, about the move - Menta of the man that made Guy keep quite still -watching hirn. Upon the mantelpiece the medicine bottles were arranged In a row, and the "eccentric Oscard" was studying the labels with a feverish baste, One bottle -a blue onetebore two labels; the smaller one, of brilliant orange color, with the word "Poieon" in startling slinpilcity. He took this up and slowly drew the cork. It was a liniment for neuralgic pains in an overwrought head -belladonna. Be poured some into a medichee glass, carefully meas- uring two tablespoonfuls. Then Guy Oscard sprang up and wrenched the glass away from him, throwing the contents into the fire, which flared. up. Quick as thought, the bottle was at the sick man's lips. He was a heavily bilit man, with pnwerful limbs. Guy seiznd -his arm, closed with him, and for a !Moment there was a deadly struggle, while the pungent odor of the poiSon filled the atmos- phere. At last Guy fell back on art; ie tripped his father eleverly, and they both roiled on the floor. The sick man still gripped the bottle, but he could not get it to his lips. He. poured some of the stuff over his son's face, but fortunately missed his eyes. They struggled on the floor in the dim ligbt, panting and gasping, but speak- ing no word. The strength of the elder man was unnatural -it frightened the younger and stronger combiteant At last Guy Oscard got his knee on his father's neck,- and bent his wrist back until be was forced to let go his hold on the bottle. "Get back to bed!" said the son breathlessly. "Get baek to bed" 3 Thomas Oscard suddenly changed his - tactics; Ile whined aud cringed to his own _offspring, and begged him to give him the bottle. He dragged across the floor on his knees -13,000 a year on its knees to Guy OsCard, who wanted that money because he knew that he would never get Millicent"Chyne without it. "Get back to bed!" 'repeated Guy, sternly, and at last the man crept sul- lenly between the rumpled sheets. Guy put things straight in a simple, Manlike way. The elector's instac- tons were quite clear.

It was worse than the actual phys- ical struggle on the floor. The tempta- tion was almost too strong. After awhile the sick roan became quieter,' but he still refused to take the opiate.
