II have tried to make myself lovely
in your eyes"
Because you love mc:?"
Because 1 love you"! she answered,
simply.
And that waltz straightway became
as Heaven itselft to the infatuated young
man.
"Hello, old chap, you are making the
running famously with the heiress!"
This was from Viscount Kyrle, who
stood behind him and slapped him
playfully on the back.
'Heiress? what heiress? How do,
Kyrle. / didn't expect to see you to-
night. Whom are you speaking
about?"
"About Miss Ingleby. to be sure. the
fast young woman l warned you
against!" said his friend, laughing.
81 really don't know whom you
mean, Kyrle!"
ooh, no! a good joke, my boy, when
you have just been dancing with her,
and she wouldn't dance with anybody
until you came!'
He looked across the room; Miss
Rose stood talking to his sister; her
face was glowing with animation and
excitement; the Quakeress in her little
gray frock seemed to have vanished.
Suddenly the scales fell from Jack
Dormer's eyes, and he perceived
the truth; his sisters greatest friend,
whom she had written so often about,
telling him he must really marry her
the handsome, dashing Miss Ingleby,
whom other people called EAST but
whom Adela swore by, declaring that
her good heart and her true sterling
character amply made up for a littlo
over-eNuberance of spirit in her man
ner; the Miss Ingleby who rode, and
tshed, and swan, and acted, yes, and
smoked cigarettes-Miss Ingleby the
heiress, and little Miss Rose, the Quak-
eress, We're II and the same person!
Jack walked straight across the
room. and stood before her.
"Miss Kate Ingleby," he said, look
ing her full in the face, t.you have
taken me in shamefully."
She colored deeply, all over her
cheeks and throat. and up to the very
roots OF her hair. Then she raised
her dark eyes to his, looking at
him penitently with a little pucker on
her brow. like a naughty child waiting
to be scoldcd.
"What wasI to do?" she said, dep
recatingly. I had the misfortune to
fall in love with you at first sight, in a
booksellers shop, one wet morning,
and at the same time [ had the mortiti-
cation of hearing you say you did not
wish to know me. ] could think of no
other way of %persuading you to think
