of Q brilliant waltz came peaiing
through the tall windows.
Perhaps So" replied Lady Sciva
hastily, and she rose to her feet.
And now you must take me back
to the ballroom quick. am engaged
for the next dance"
Gordon Melrose gazed at her In

cried impatiently, and she moved to-
ward the open windows.
Melrose sprang to his feet ct once
and escorted her back to the ballroom.
At the window tall, handsome man
claimed her.
II am sorry" Melrose heard her
say as she went of on the strangers
arm. II got up the moment the mu-
sic began, but my partner dawdled
and couldn't fly in alone"
AS they whirled of in the crowd
OF dancers Melrose caught q mo-
mentary glimpse of her face. It was
radiant as II TRANSPORTED. The man
was bending over her, whispering in
her ear, and his lips approached her
hair.
''Who Is that dancing with Lady
Scivar' inquired Melrose Of another
man.
"Oh, that's Jack Hardness, of the
Rifles, He's lucky dog! When
old Lord Sciva died he left his widow
all his property absolutely. She
must be worth some twenty thous-

in Grosvenor place and fine place in
Derbyshire.
But what has Lord Selves will
to do with this Mr.. HarknessH

Deities Made to Order.

It is possible for any Chinaman, or
even any Chinese woman, to become a
deity by paying for the honor. A few
years ago q rich and devout Chinese
lady died in Soochoo. Her friends

more than her due, and communicated
with the priests. who interviewed the

that the God Of the Left Little Tee
Nail had no wife. The old LAZY was
accordingly married to his godship,
