The small conventionalities of life greatg aside the try e- dies. Jermyn walked side by side with the Duke to the buffet, around which so many groups were gathered together. "I was your father's school and college friend," the....Duke remarked, as they took their glasses of', wine from the waiter. "I tipped you when you wore peer first pair. of trousers, I was at Lord's when you neade your first century, I proposed your health the day you came of age. I have known Lucille, too, all her life. She is an exceedingly clever woman. If you are ambitious, Jermyn, and they tell'me that you are, I know of no one who could make you a better wife.

Lucille greeted him with a delightful smile. There was a man by her side -clean- shaven, broad, good-looking in his way, with •a dash of the Transatlan- tic about his carriage. She kept the Duke with her right hand while she spoke to Jermyn. "Jermyn," she said,. "it was only the other day that I heard you men tion the name of Mr. Aaron Chal- mers.

There was a little puff of !smoke, "a report, and Aaron, Chal- 'niers 'vent backwards, a crumpled heap upon the floor.
