THE PAST.
The season was young then. The
ballroom was deliciously cool, the h d
was playing the moat seductive 9
long series of dreamy waltaes. th re
was no lack of dinning mail, and
Marjorie Dflniel the acknowledge ed
belle bl h‘e’r lavish sitting alone‘8 in
a palm sored alcove. her little
tucked y. under her as. in
skirts and ii nutty hands clasped
with the u out! tension that is in-
dicative of ly stirred feelings. .
Unfortunaib y (that is. if the tampon
ary and unusual IOIltude was of
own seeking) anger only added to or
charms. and rendered her still more
attractive. Her great, dark eyes a at-
kled with a hundred fires. Her ir
check was tinted with a delicate rode
All these things were mentally noted
by a young man Who, with the assur-
page are priviigede person, threw
himself into the vacant chair at her
ado.
E‘3"Not dancing. Marjorie?” he said.
“How's that?"
Marjorie launched an unexpected
boom.
“i beg your pardon, Mr. Mallet." she
returned. in the chilling tones reserv-
ed usually fer an unwelcome intruder.
The new comer looked taken aback.
Then he recovered himself and laugh-
ed nervbusly.
“Oh. is that way of it?" he inquired.
“i‘merely ventured. most humbly, to
ask Mina Daniel why she was not
dancing
"ll; one bound to give reasons?"
"Not necessarily to give them. per-
haps; but it. la usual to have some "
"Oh. i have plenty. i am tired. i
have no partner. i hate dancing. i hate
cveiything and everybody. and i want
to be alone."
"The last is convincing. Shalll go?"
"if you like”
“But i don't like. i await orders."
”i am not your commanding oiilcer."
“No, .i. wish. you were. My only ob-
iectloh to going to South Africa would
be swept away "
“What objection is that?"
“leavin you."
Milli: Da alel responded by a curl of
her lip.
“Marjorie. your heart is hard."
"And yours is too elastic."
“What do you mean?’
”0h. nothing."
"That answer will not do.
on knowing your meaning."
"lnsist‘l‘
".Yea insist. in my right as your
affinnced husband."
“Oh, that is all ovcr.’
"Mhrjorlei” ‘
".Mr Mallet!"
“You mean what you say?"
"imam! what i say."
There was a'white‘ strained look
about his mouth. but he spoke calmly.
"You have weighed your words
well?"
“i have weighed my words only too
well.”
"You remember that tomorrow
morning i sell with my company?
This may be our last meeting on
earth."
“i remember."
A slight catch might have been do
tectcd in her voice. but no other sign
of relenting was apparent.
"And knowing that i am going pos-
slhly to my death you can, at this. per.
hope the most solemn moment. of our
lives. dismiss me with a few will
words and not the slightest explana'
tion of mar conduct?"
"Your conscience will doubtless sup-
ply the explanation."
Her voice trembled ominously. and
the. bright eyes were momentarily suf-
fused with tears.
"Marjorie," he pleaded. "this is fool-
ish. Let us make it up. Give me a
kiss. darling. and be friends."
He put his arm around her and was
about to draw her to him. She shrank
quickly away. and her eyes blazed.
"Your lips shall never touch mine
mint“; ahe exclaimed. in a low voice.
with anger. “Your arm shall never
more encircle my waist. l have been
blind. foolish. but oh. so happy! For
i loved you. and believed that you
loved me. New mymyes are opened.
and i know you as you really are——
false. faithleaa and deceitful”
They were standing new,.face
face. looking into each othor'a eyes.
"i will not sleep to ask again for an
explanation of your extraordinary con.
duct." he' returned. “Enough to say
that l accept my dismissal at your
hands. Perhaps it might under ex-
toting mutated. lave been more
gently given. But It is possible that
the memory of the pain you have cana-
ed may lead you to think inn harshly

Brown. "She says shei- weary of the
hollowness of society. and longs for
communion with the and sea waves."
”The and sea waves are hollow. too.

youth
But nobody heeded him. All were
reageriy discussing the possibility of a
descent in force upon Eastgato.
"How do you get there? Where
abouts is it? Do you go by rail, or
boat, or balloon, or on camels, o;
howl? were some of the questions
showered broadcast upon Mrs. De
Coucy Brown.
"it is about sixty miles from town.
and we are going in a motor- car." she
replied.
“Then. in view of possible dangers. "
cried the chorus "we. also in motor
ca'ra, will scout for you and act as
bodyguard "
, Mrs. Brown thanked them for their
heroic devotion. nevertheless she and
Miss Dalzlel managed to slip away un-
accompanied. preferring to brave the
unknown danggrs of the road. and ev-
en a possible reakdown to incurring
the certainty bf public ridicule. .
The motor-car contingent arrived
shortly after the two ladies. and their
presence at Eaatgato made things liv-
iier than Mrs. De Conroy Brown had
anticipated. indeed. the running for
what she called the millionaireas
stakes became so severely competitive
that she found herself comparatively
neglected. and the situation being nov.
el and intolerable to her. she felt con.
etralned to call Miss Dalziel to account
and ask her which of the ardent hearts
glowing with love and admiration. laid
so humbly at her feel. she intended to
condescend to pick up.
"Are you serious. Gertrude?" in.
quired Marjorie.
"Quito." returned Mrs Brown. “1

“Cecil Mallet."
"What. is there yet another?"
"0h. Gertrude, do not say ‘another.
He is the only one.“
“Then why is he not here?“
"Because he is in South Africa.”
“Well. there is nothing to cry about.
The fighting is nearly over."
“i know; but our engagement

"Whose fault—yours?"
"indeed. not ills entirely."
“What did he do?"
“i saw his arm around Laura

"And is that all?"
“All? is it not enough?"

“i should if i were you.‘
And so she did.

the letter just as he was ordered out

to read it till he was lying behind an
