CHAPTER V.
IL was in the very hast day's of July
that firs. Bramwell's garden party came
tri off. The weather was perfect, the
grounds, which were, next to Iairleigh,
were among the most beautiful on that
pout, of the Thames, and all the arrange-
ments made for that particularly dull
form of entertainment were complete.
.!'her. was lawn tennis for the energetic,
there were little. tents and arbors with
seats for the hazy, there were boats
there was a band, and there were two
marquees for refreshments.
Papillon was there. Having instantly
0ccurcd an introduction to the prettiest
girl on the ground, and having taken her
down his favorite paths and satisfied
himself that her conversational merit
was not equal to her appearance, he had
generously given way to a rival and
take) himself off in search of meta:
more attractive, carefully avoiding his
hostess, lost she should p0111100 upon him
ail slake hint to do duty at the side of
some elderly young lady whose appear-
ance
ppearance was not equal to her conversational
merit. Charlie was not a useful young
man; he utterly declined to bestow his
devoted but valueless attentions upon
any ladies but those most sought after.
Iles. Hodson was there, attracting
more attention and even neat admira-
tion than the far lovelier mid younger
Mrs, Glyn. She worn a dross of somo
light silk covered with lace, and a dar-
ing; hat trimmed with long white feath•
ors, and exquisitely made artificial flow-
ers. She curried a sunshade, the lace
on which 10110 worth more than all the
loo Doris ever poesessed, mounted upon
an ivory handle on which her monogram
was earyed among delicate trails of ivy
and sprays of lilies. Her husband was
not with her; he would come by and by,
she said, or his return from the city.
"1'e is such a slave to that horrid
city," she said, with a pretty frown of
petulance,' to firs. Bramwell.
And her hostess condoled with her on
the fearful fate of laving nt husband
who was a shave to the city; but the

guidly Unbuttoning the one glove he had
on, when Doris made a movement to-
ward ono of the other men, as if to se-
cure his ervices. With sudden eagerness
Melton sprang forward and offered his
hand to help her into the bout David had
chosen frau the rest, as looking -the
most comfortable and the safest. Two
or three rather officious bunds from am-
ong the group on the bank unshipped
the rudder 1n giving her the ropes,
splashed her dress in helping to push
off the boat, and made t lieu• presence
felt in .similar ways. She thanked them
good-humoredly, but felt glad when the
bout (0115 fairly under way and she was
out of reach of their zealous hands.
CHAPTER \'I.
"Beep to the right, if you please, as
close under the bank, as you can," said
Melton, briefly, to Doris, as he hent
sulkily over the sculls.
She pulled the light rope obediently,
and, as the boat swath smoothly
through the water, she was touched with
compassion for her ferryman for having
to row in such inappropriate dress. She
quite forgave 111m for looking so terribly
erose,
"I amu sorry to hove Waite a martyr of
,you, Mr, Melton. It must be very uncom-
fortable to rota' in that costume, and
hard w011t, too, against the stream."
"It is not nt all hard," said he, stiffly,
giving the mills as long, strung pull that
made the boat rush through the water,
to; show her that this was child's play
to hiul. "Only I can't think what made.

"You must excuse a liusba ad's cautiiln,

"It is a great mistake to suppose a
thing is safe because it is clumsy. You
have only got to lurch over to ere side

He gave 00 0u010011ve jerk to the left.
but with no worse result than to make
the boat roll,
"Yes? Well, don't do it, please, till
you ihaye landed me."
"Yon rued not be afraid. I could sit
on the edge of this tub without upset-
ting it; it all depends on !now it is
done:"
Yes? \Pell, 1. thinly I'd rather rote
on quietly without tory conjuring tricks,

"1 was not going to do it," said he,
coldly, "I only wished to show you that

boat unless yon have confidence in the
man in &Marge of it."
")Vhy, so I.'Meet David eould not
