And with her head upon has shoulder,
his hand in hers, bis arm circling her
beautiful person, away the couple wheeled
| around the ballroom, to the strains of enc
of Strauss Values. A pair of eyes fol@
lowed them sorruwfully in their gyrations.
William Benson was certainly out of place
in that gay assembly. though his heart was
there. He loved this girl and had been
fascinated by her for she was intelligent
as we'll as beautiful. But she was alto
gether wanting in heart it had bee fritz
tered away, or hardened, or closed up, that
the most beautiful quality Of woman's ma
ture had disappeared. BenscD had been
already rebuffsd by her that night she
thought be had danced clumsily; aud Ger.
tainly the art of moving his limbs about
gracefully, after the most approved style
of dancing masters, bad not been cnltiVat
ed by him. He was proud, and would not
eondescend to fawn upon her; though he
loved, had offered himself and been accep>
ted, he would not presume upon that stand
Jog, but would rather leave her still free
TO take her own course. He thought she
studiously avoided him, for she had hur-
ried away from him across the room to her
cousin, with whom he had just found her
conversing.

taper, and lithe-nOthiDg could be more
charming than the round and oval outlines
of her figure as she glided along the floor.
Her dark brown hair enhanced the purity
of her complexion, and her eyebrows arch-
ed over a pair of dark blue eyes. which
glittered with life, as she turned her delis
cate little head from side to side like a
bird, shaving TIE sIabaster curve of her
stately throat. Her mouth was the sweet
est OF mouths, delioiOusly formed, full Of
fascination when che smiled though some
times there Iurked upon her lips a polish
ed cuIl. which made you fear that Der
smile did not express the real feeling of
che moment. No wonder that our youth
followed with sad heart, the movement of
this beautiful creature.
She .elt his eyes were upon her, aud she
| was only the more bent upon piouiae him.
AssiduOusly avoiding bis gaze. she devoted
herself to her partner, whose nature was
very cODgenial to her own-a dashipg and
