the real Reggie King at all.
It was at a dance at a studio, and
some French .nantornimists gave a
little play. When it was over, King
sat in the corner talking to one of
the Frenchwomen and while he
waited on her he was laughing at her
and at her efforts to speak English.
He was telling her how to say cer-
tain phrases and net tolling her cor-
rectly, and she suspected this and
was accusing him if it, and they were
rhapsodizing and exclaiming over
certain delightful places and dishes
.f which they both knew in Paris
with the enthusiasm of two children.
Miss Langham saw him off his guard
for the first time, and instead of a
somewhat bored and clever man of
the world, he annoared as sincere and
interested as a boy. When he joined
her, later, the s line evening, he was
as entertaining an usual, and as po-
lite and attentive as he had been to
the Frenchwoman, but he was not

Langham noted out of the corner of
her eye. after a look of polite sur-
prise, beamed with amusement and
continued to stare up and down the
table as though he had discovered a
new trait in a peculiar and interest-
ing animal. For some reason, she
could not tell why, she felt annoyed
with herself and with her friends,
and resented the attitude when the
new -comer assumed toward them.

Reggie King was, moreover, in spitenterregation, as though, so it seem -
r
ed to her, he had expected her, when
she did speak, to say something less
conventional.
"Yes," he replied, after a pause,
"he joined us at Ayutla. It was the
terminus of the Jalisco and Mexican
Railroad then. He came out overtire
road and went in from there with an
outfit after mountain l -ions. I believe
he had very good sport."
"That is a very wonderful road, I
am told," said King, bending forward
and introducing himself into the con-
versation with a nod of the head to-
ward Clay; "quite a remarkable feat
of engineering."
"It will open up the country, I be-
lieve," assented the other, indifferent-
ly.
"I know samethine., of it," continued
King, "because I met the men who
were putting it through at Pariqua,
when we touched there In the yacht.
They shipped most of their plant to
that poet, and we saw a good deal
of them. They wee a very jolly lot,
and they gave me a most interesting
account of their work and its dif-
ficulties."
Clay was looking at the other
closely, as though he was trying to
find something back of what he was
saying, hut as his glance seemed only
to embarrass King he smiled freely
again in assent, ant gave him his
full attention.
"There are no men to -day, Miss
Langham," King exclaimed, suddenly,
turning toward her, "to my II -rind, who

engineers. And there are no men

"Really?" said •MissZangham, en-
couragingly.
"Now those men I met," continued
King, settling himself with his side
to the table, "were all young fellows

Miss Langham had entered the
Porters' drawinproom after the
greater number of the guests had
arrived, and she turned from her
hostess to listen to an old gentleman
with a passion for golf, a pass'ion in
which he had for long time been
endeavoring to interest her. She
answered him and his enthusiasm in
kind, and with as much apparent in-
terest as she would have shown in a
matter of state. It was her princinle
to be all things to all men, whether
they were great artists, great diplo-
mats, or great bores. If a man had
been pleading with her to leave the

and announced that it was his dance,
she would have said: "Ok, is it?"

though his coming had been the one
