| "Good busnessp' George Saumnrcz said
| to himself triumphantly. "If we don't
clrcumyent the old dragon and haven jolly

mnrez or Kitty Marsh either"
His mirth received sudden check on q

Thou q brilliant idoa struck him, "Per-
haps Fitzgerald would know"
No sooner thought than It was acted
upon. A laundering knock on Fitzgerald's
door ON the other sido elected mufllod
response, and Snumarez opened tho door
and plunged into a perfect fog of tobacco
smoke.
"Look here, Fitzgerald" he cried on
gerly edo you know mauve when you see

Tho ball was IN fun swing He felt be-
wildered. However, no began TO work
his way through the crowded dancing
room when no caught sight OF lady, scat
cd not for from the door who looked very
much like the person no WINS in search Of.
The domino, he was sure, was the same
color Us FitSRcrnld's book and there WINS
the bouquet of ylolets "to make assurance
doubly sure"
He felt confident as he went up to her
and u quantity Of beautifully dressed hair
looked so familiar on closer inspection
that 1t was without qualm TINT ho bent
over her and asked her for tho dance Just
beginning.
She seemed to hesitate, SO he stopped
and Whispered in her ear;
"Dun't you know mo, Kitty Was not
lucky to find you go soonY'

cntch and ro1e and laid her hand on his
arm.
ave don't want TO dance, do WEI" he
snid let us go outside"
They did so and found the passage al
most deserted, so they retired 10 sofa
oo2ily set at the end OF II.
"This ono will do" said Saumarez
ohoerfully. 1.-THE dragon won't venture
into the hall, so we arc quite safo. Haven't
we done her nicelyS"

He stood looking such picture of dis

and she leaned back on the sofa and
laughed till the tears ran down her checks.

more like u fool than ever. Just then %

and the shorter domino OF the two, APP
parontly cntoning sight of them, dismissed
her partner IN very summary manner
and hurried down the corridor.

cried. "Aro you illY why-Georger
