CHAPTER II.

1t was a fortnight later; the house
party would dispense on the morrow,
and Miss Doane, to whom Westwood
was dear, was talking a farewell
stroll through the gardens. She was
idling down path, when, catching
sight of Stewart over the tops of the
rose bushes, she ostentatiOusly put
up her parasol and turned in the 9TH

''Never mind about that. I will not
detain you long," and he pulled up a
bench.
For few moments there was 81
lence, for now that he had gained the
coveted interview, Steward did not
seem to know what to say, and Miss
Doane, with the point of her parasol,
sketched triangles, and circles, and
all sorts of impossible devices in the
sandy path. While looking the pic

Then it became patent to all that the

you ought to be most attractive.''
''What is your theory, Kate?" call

''Shall I tell him, Miss Doane?"
Certainly"
"She says that a man doesn't like |
to feel too confident of woman's af- |

certainty in love affairs that makes |
them interesting; that he enjoys be-
ing puzzled and played with, and
that a clever woman has only to ap-

then attract him."
'Heresy!" exclaimed a chorus of
manly voices.

She shrugged her shoulders.

The hostess, who had been listen |

"The country? Oh, yes, it makes

head against the pillar and looked,
not at him, but past him to the
stretch of rosy sky.
''What an actress you are!" he said.
"You are not the least bit Indifferent,

Stewart watched them with wrath
in her heart-the girl was talking
gayly, her soft laugh floating back to
him.
'"There goes living denial of her
theory" he thought. ''She is kind
ness itself to Ainslie and he is devot-
ed to her. Indifference, indeed! I'd
like to see the woman who could at
tract me by that. AS for Miss Doane,
she is a heartless little f1irt, and I
don't intend to fret myself about

stalked away to the smoking-room.

on his oars, ''I'm your cousin and
