The table was spread, places for two
being laid. The young man rang The
bell. A maid-servant of mature years
and most respectable aspect appeared.
Marcia turned toward her rather de-
family; she was thinking of what t.a
maid would certainly be thinking. but
the maid looked merely deferential.
"Mrs. Nettleton will change in the
blue roon." said the young man; "and
supper in half an hour"
'Ycs, sir. VIII You step this way,
.ma'amr' said the maid.
Marcia followed her, rather sur
prised that nothing was said about the
mistress of the house. Supper was laid
for two!

"Yes, sir"

she likes. suppose everything Is

I'm the blue room, sir?"
"Yes."
"Oh, certainly, sir"
The yo1mg man laughed. Susan's
face seemed to hint a protest, but she
said nothing more. Marcia followed
her with renewed feeling of bewilder-
me1t. If there were a mistress of tho
house, where was she? If there were

turned inquiring eyes on Susan; .Su-

from a drawer, dry, clean, dainty arti-
cles, and disposing of them on chairs.
"Will you take a bath, ma am" asked
Susan.
Marcia resigned herself to the unex.

that indiscreet questions might have
some effect as she had read of in fairy
tales, that inquisitiveness would bring
its penalty, the house, the blue room.

Marcia.

II do hope the carriage will find Mr..

she answered.

Susan

laughing to himself as she came in.
The soup was on the table. A man.
servant entered and drew back n
chair, inviting Marcia to seat herself.
The young man sat opposite and helped
the soup.
Susan wishes TO know, sir" said
the man-servant, whether she shall
prepare the red room?"
The young man looked up.
"Yes, she'd better" said he.
"You're too kind" said Marcia. "But
isn't there an inn to which we could
go? We mustn't put you to all this
trouble"
The young man laughed.
"Not within miles," said he. eyes
