Did the grand old prophet looking down the
ages know that this should be the keynote of

Charlie Nelthorpe was brstling with
outraged pride and wounded self esteem
when he went to pay his customary visit to
Eva on the day following Lady Brown
Jones' ball. The fact that Eva could for
get herself an the respect that was due to
him so far as to sit on the veranda with
Lord Dolly for half an hour had been
severe blow to him, and he had not yet
recovered from the shock
She was reading when he went into the
room, but she laid her book aside at once.
'Oh, Charlie, is that you? 20
Charlie frowned.
''liow often have | told you, my dear
Eva, that a self evident fact requires no
asserting he asked in his most dogmatic
tone
She shrugged her shoulders.
"How often? Oh, | don't know. A
hundred times, dare say. You look
cross, Charlie"
Charlie frowned again. There was an
intangible something in Eva's tone and
manner that was not wont to be there,
something that he could neither define nor
understand, though he felt it instinctvely.
81 am not cross, Eva, but | am grieved
-grieyed beyond measure. Your conduct
last night caused me acute pain, the more
so as you eXprt ssed no regret for it, But |
hope you are in better frame of mind
to-day and ready to say you are sorry for
what you did. Until you have done so
really don't feel can kiss you"
Charlie fully expected that this stupen-
dous threat would reduce Eva to the low
est depths of despair, and bring her, fig
uratively speaking to her knees, but for
once was he out in his calculations. She
drew mp her slender figure and pursed up
her rosy lips with an air that made him
feel vaguely uneasy. Was it to defy him
Yes. Her next words proved that it was
