, "Yea" Colville assented, with a
tahi discorafort.
"Bat to be truly young at forty," e-
sumed Mr. Waters, "a man should be
already. mat•ried."
Yes?"
m, I made a mistake in yi d-
" I sometimes fed," continued theer
an " that
hag to a disappointment that I met with
early in life, and in -not permitting asy-
self the chance__ of retneVal. I have
missed a beautiful and, consoling ex-
perience in 'my devotion to a barren
regret."
Colville said nothing, but he ex-
perienced a mixed feeling of amusement,
of repulsion, and of -curiosity at this.. -
. "We are put into the world to be of
it. I tkIli more and more convinced of
that. We have scarcely a right to sep-
arate ourselves from the common lot in
any way... I justify myself for having
lived mone only as a, widower might.
I—lost her. It was a great while age."
• "Yes," said Colville, after the pause
which ensued, '',I agree with you that
one has no right to isolate himself,.ito
refuse his portion pf the common loft;
but the effects of even a rebuff may last
so long that one has no heart to put ont
his hand a secondtime—for a second ritp
over the knuckles. Oh, I know how
trivial it is in the retrospeet, and how
what is called a, disappointment is some-
thing to be humbly grateful for in most
eases; but for a while it certainly makes
you. donlatfol whether you were ever
realty intended to share the connnon
lot.' He was aware of an insincerity in
his words ; he hoped that it might not
be perceptible, but he did not greatly
I
care. 1
Mr. Waters took no notice of what he
had been saying. Be resumed from an-
other point. "But I should say that it
would be unwise for a man of mature
life to seek his happiness with one.much
younger then himself. I don't deny that
there are eases in which the disparity of
years counts for little or.nothing, but,
generally speaking, people ought to be
as equally mated in age as possible.
They ought to start with the same ad-
va,ntages of ignorance. A young girl
can only live her life through a com-
munity of feeling, an equality of inea-
perience in the man she gives her heart
to. If he is tired of things that still de-
light her, the chances of unhappiness are
1
increased."
_,
"?es,. that's true," answered Colville,
gravely. "It's apt to be a mistake and
' 1
a wrong." _ -
"Oh, not always—not always," said
the old minister. "We mustn't look at
it in that way quite, Wrongs are of
the will." He seemed to lapse into a
greater intimacy of feeling with Colville.
"Have you seen Mts. Bowen to -day!?
Or—ah ! true! I think you told me."
"No," said Colville. "Have we
spoken of her' But I have seen her."
"And was the little one wen ?"
"'Very much better."
" Pretty creatures, both of them,"
said the minister, with as fresh a pleas-
ure in his recognition of the fact as if he
had not said nearly the same thing once
before.
" Yau've noticed the very remarkable
resemblance between mother add daugh-
ter?"
" Oh yes."
-
"There is a gentlenessin Mrs. Bowen
which seerns to me the last refinement of
a gracious spirit," suggested Me. Waters.
"I have never met any lady who
reconciled more exquisitely. --What is
charming in society with what is lovely
in nature."
"Yes," said Colville. "Mrs. Bowel;I
always had that gentle manner. 1 used
to knew her here as a girl a great while
--- " Did you? I wonder you allowed heJi
ago."
to become Mrs. Bowen." , I
This sprightliness of _Mr. Waters
amused. Colville greatly. "At that!
time I was preoccupied with ity great;
mistake, and I had no eyes for Mrs.:
Bowen." - .. I
"It isn't too late yet,' said Mr. Wa.• t-
ors, with open insinuation.
A bachelor of forty is always flattered
by any suggestion of marriage ; the sug
gestion that a beautiful And charming
woman would marry him is too mueh for .
whatever reserves of modesty and wis-
dom he may have stored up. Colville
took leave of the old minister in better
humor with himself than he had been
for forty-eight hours, er than he had
any very good reason fed- being now,
Mr. Waters came With hini to the
head of the stairs•and held up the lamp
for himto see. Tne light fell upon the
white locks thinly straggling from be;
neath his velvet skulf-cap, and he look-
ed like some medimval scholar of those
whoelived and died for learning in Fiera
ence when letters were it passion there
almost as strong as love.
The next day Colville would have
liked to go at once and ask about Effie,
but upon the se -bale he thought he would
not go till after he had been at the re-
ception where he was going in the after-
noon. It was an artist ho was giving
the reception, he had aamber of pie -
,i
tures ta show, and there was to be tea.
There are artists and artists. This
painter uras one Vv ad a distinct
social importance. It; as felt to be
rather a nice thing to be shed to his re-
ception; one was sure a least to meet
the nieest people.. . .
This reason prevailed ith Colville so
far as it related to Mrs., Bowen, whom
he felt that he would iikej to tell he had
been, there. He would speak to her of
this person and that—Very respected
and recognized social_ figures—so that
she might see he was not the outlaw,
the Bohemian, he must sometimes have
appeared to her. • It would not be going
too far to say that something like an
obscure intention to shov himself the
next Stuula.y at the nglish chapel,
where Mrs. Bowen wen awas forming
itself in his mind. As he, went along it
began to seem not impodsible that she
would be at the reception. If Effie'
indisposition was no more serious than it
appeared yesterday, very probably Mrs.
Bowen would be ethere a He even be-
lieved that he recogaliz d her carriage
among those which weq drawn up in,
front of the ald palace, o der the paint-
er's studio windows. !
There Were a great ournber of people
of the four nationalities that mostly con-
sort io Italy. There were. English and
Americana and Russians and the sort of
Italians resulting from the native intermaniages with them; here and there
were Italiana of pure blood, borderers
upon the foreign life threugh a literary
interest, or an artistic relation, or a mat -

It is not of course imaginable that as

The language that prevailed was Eng-

Mrs. Amsden laughed. She had not
been hi America for forty years, but she
liked the Ameiriban way of talking bet-
ter than any other. "Oh 'didn't you
hear about Inglehart • when he was
here? He was so good-natured that he
used to drink all the tea that people
, offered him, and then the young ladies
made tea for him . in his studio when
they went to look at his pictures. It al-
most killed -him si the title spring

out of his hands when he book it up.
He had, to hurry of to Venice to save

" Oh,that's all changed new."
"Yes ; I've seen the tea, and I haven't

ly encouraged his companimi to believe
that he would like to make tin of their
host's paintings with her, bit whether
he liked them, or wheth r he was
principled against that sort f return for,
hospitality, he chose' to reply seriously
to some ironical lures she threw out.
"Oh, if you're going to be ' ood," she
exclaimed, "1 shall have n thing more
to say to you. . Here comes Ir. Thurs-
ton ; I can make him abu e the pie -
tures. There! You had better go

and shook her head in a wa that 'had

The latter turned, with his cup still
in his hand, and ' wandered about
through the company, hoping hp might
see Mrs. Bowen among the gros peer-
ing at the pictures or solidly blocking
the view in front of them. He did not
find her, lent he found Imogene Graham,
standing somewhat apart near a win -4
dow. He saw her face light .im at sight
of him, and then darken aga as he ap-
proached. .
"Isn't this ratber an unn tural state
of things?" he asked when h had come
up. " I ought to be obliged o fight my

lanxes of aroung men crow `ing round

said the young girl, so col ,ly that he
conid not help noticing, t ough com-
monly he was man enough to notice very
few things. It
" How is Effie to -day ?" he asked;
quickly. ,
"Oh, quite Well," said In) gene. •
"1 don't see Mrs. Bowen, ' he ventur-
ed further.
" Nee" answered the gir , still very
lifelessly; "I came with Mrs. Flem-
ing?' She looked about th moth ,as if
not to look at him.
He now perceived a distiict intention
to snub him. He smiled. "Rave you
seen the pictures? There are two or
three really lovely ones."
"Mrs. Fleming. will h here in a
moment, I Suppose," sal. Imogene,
evasively, but not with 11 her first
coldness.
"Let us sten' -a march o her," said
Colville, briskly. "When she comes,
troll can tell her that I sho ed you the
pictures." •
"1 don't know," faltered he girl.
Perhaps it isn't nee ssary you
should," he suggested. _
She glanced at him with questioning
trepidation.
" The respective duties f chaperon".
and protegee are rather undefined..
When the chaperon isn't there te com-
mand, the protegee isn't tlubre to obey.
I suppose you'&- knew if you were at
home?"
" Oh yes !" -J • ,
" Let me imagine myself at a loan
exhibition in Buffalo. Ah! that ap;
peal is irresistible. , You'll come, I see.
She hesitated; she looked at the
nearest picture, then followed him to
another. Ilenow did what hehad refused
to do for the. old lady wha tempted him
to it; he made fun of the pictures a lit-
tle; but so amiably and With so much
justice to their go-od points that the
painter himself would not have minded -
his jesting. From time to time he made
-
Imogene smile, but in her eyes lurked a
look of uneasiness, and her manner ex-
pressed a struggle against his will which
might have had its pathos for him in
different cireumstances, but now it only
incited him to make her forget herself
more and more; he treated her as one
does a child that is. out of sorts—coax-
ingly, ironically.
When they had made the -,round of
the rooms, Mrs. Fleming was not at the
window where she had left Imogene ; the •
girl detected the top of her bonnet still
in the next rooni.
"The -chaperon is never there when
you came back with the 'protegee," said..
Colville. " It seems to be the nature of
the chaperon."
lmogrene turned very grave. "
think I ou- ght to go to her,' she mur-
mured.
"Oh no; she ought to come to you;
I stand out for protegees' rights." •
"1 suppose she will come directly."
•
He got -hi self another cup of tea,,
and coming b ek to her, allowed her to
make the effo to keep up the conver-
sation, and w s not veithout a malicieus
pleasure in h struggles. They inter-
ested himais 4ia1 exercises which, how-
ever abrupt a d undexterous now, were
destined, wit time and practice, to be-
come the fines e of a womaa of society,
and to be a i cepted, even while they
were still abr pt and undexterous, as
'touches of eha actor. He had broken up
that coldness ith which she had met
him at first, a d now he let her 'adjust
the fragment she could to the new
situation. H 'Wore that air of a gentle-
man who has •een . talking a long time
to_ a lady, and who will not dispute her
possession wit a new -comer.
But no one came, though, as he cast
his eyes carele sly over the company, he
found that it iad been increased by the
accession of ei ht or ten young fellows,
With a refresh ng light of originality .in
their faces, an little touches of differ-
ence from the ther men in their dress.
"Oh, there re the Inglehartlaoys !"
cried the girl ith a flash of excitement.
There was a sensation of interest and
friendliness • the company as these
young fellows, after theit moment -Of so -
dal intimidati n, ,began to gather round
the pictures, nd, to fling their praise
and blame abo t, and talk the delightful
shop of the stu io.
The sight of their fresh young faces,
the sound of t eir voices, struck a, pang
of regret that •Iwas almost envy to Col-
ville's heart. .
Imogene fo lowed them with eager
eyes. " Oh,' she sighed, "shouldn't
you like to be n artist ?"
"1 should, cry much."
"Oh, Jbeg our pardon; I forgot. I
knew you wer an architect.'
" I shOtild P y I used to be, if 'you

ror of his divin tion, but could not pro-
test. " Has ay -one told you that?"
he pursued, wi h a sudden angry sus-
picion. •
