trivialities of life, seeking the grand, the
good and the true and accomplishing it
with faithful labor, added a great charm
to their interchange of ideas
For the first time in her life Inez felt that
she was being understood and appreciated
in her best pursuits.
A deeply felt symp pathy attracted her to
the unassuming, manwhose noble, digni-
fed opinions and f1rmness of character be-
came more evident to her with every word,
and who, with his intellectual superiority,
showed so much modestyand liberality of
judgment
They went back to, tho ballroom, but al
ways met again in the fntermission ire
sistibly drawn to each other and inexhaust-
ible in their mutual ideas.
"That is just like Inez," said Irene an

DR.. Stein. 1t is simply shockingl''
1t was shortly before the second quadrille
that DR.. Stein asked Inez to be his wife,
They were both alone in an adjoining
apartment, where they had gone to cool Off
and refresh themselves from the heat of the
ballroom.
II hope You will not look upon my pro-
posal as too hasty, !" he said. "I know you
as if had always lived with you For the
last week, ever since my arrival at Kume-
rau, have taken notice of your doings.

you ask for time to consider, as am as yet
a total stranger to you"
II need no time to consider" said Inez,
with radiant face. 1.-THE surroundings
among which l have lived up to this time
have always remained strange to me, but
you seem like an old acquaintance. You
are the friend whom have always sought
in vain"
"And do you not object to plebeian

too low for your"
mo. There Is nothing in name to me.
1t is simply the bearer whom care for, ~
smiled Inez.
Almost speechless with happiness, DR..
Stein clasped the young girl In his arms.
Beloved" said he, pardon this little
mystifcation. DR.. Stein is my pseudonym,
with which sign my scientific articles for
publication. In private life l am Prince
Ysenloh. l hope you will not object to that
title either"
Inez looked up in surprise.
NO" she answered, you will always
remain the same to me-"
In the first Joy Of their union they over
heard footsteps at the door.

the countess is acquainted.
II may hope that you are not ayerse to
our union, as you kindly gave your consent
to such an Arrangement between one OF
your daughters and myself"
The countess nearly tainted away, but
there was nothing to do but to compose
herself and to congratulate the happy pair.
Now we must return quickly to the
ballroom, SO as not to miss the second
quadnlle,' said the prince after the count,
who had been called. had gladly given his
paternal blessing.
The count insisted upon accompanying
the betrothed couple into the ballroom,
there to publicly proclaim the engagement
before the beginning of the quadrille. The
news flashed like lightning among the
dancers, and there was not one among the
Young ladies who did not secretly rue the
fact that she had refused DR.. Stein the sec
ond quadrille and who would not have CIV
en- up 10 years of her life to atone for the
error.
Irene was beside herself and could re-
strain her self possession with difficulty as
she was doomed TO dance opposite the hap
py pair. +,
