er, i uI said Aaakicallybs4"Rut do you
think that Women are capable Of such
an act ofself sacrifice in these days:" I
llasked. "Of course" said Miss Hewitt,
watching some people go by with great
interest, Cliff they only-only pre-
tended to. - 'But if there was an acct
dent?'' I ventured. Miss Hewitt ap-
parently did not hear this. "lo you
really think, persisted, "that wom-
ana girl-would do thing like that?"
"She wouldn 't-she couldn 't-of course
the duchess did not let it pretend to be
done-in-before any one else. " "Not.
for example, in a room like thiss" I
said, looking round the bazaar. "How,
then?'' "Afterward," murmured Miss
Hewitt. bending down to pick up pin,
I suppose. "Oh," I said, "she would
only promise, then.,'' Miss Hewitt said
nothing. ] rose. "Well, I'm afraid

Hewitt looked at me in surprise IT
thought you liked dancing" she said
innocently. ''Oh, sometimes!" | said.
"But we might have talk in the con-
servatory. It's sure to be very hot. :"
"Do you think it is?'' said she. "Cer-
tain. ooh, We'll see!'' said she nom
chalantly. I turned to go, "By the
way" said !, leaning on the stall conf
dentially, ''shall 1 leave you the ESQ
now? And then you can send the things
to the hospital at once, you know"
Miss Hewitt avoided my eye. IT didn'
know" she began and broke off. "Per-
haps it would be better" she murmured.
] offered my hand. Tonight, then,"
said. She did look at me at last, but it
was quite by accident-just the sort of
accident that happened in the conserva-
tory.-H. B. Marriott Watson in Black
