IRE EXPOSURE OF LORD SIANSFORD..

was illuminated from top to bottom.
Carriages We're arriving ard departing,
and guests were hurrying up the car
peted stair after passing under the can
opy that stretched from the doorway to
the edge of the street. A crowd of on
lockers stood on the pavement watching
the arrival of ladies SO charmingly at
tired. Lord Stansford came alone in
hanson, and he walked quickly across
the bit of carpet stretched to the road
way, and then more leisurely up the
broad stair He was an athletic young
fellow of 26 or thereabout The mo-
ment he entered the large reception
room his eyes wandered searchingly
over the gallant company, apparently
looking for some one whom he could
not find. He passed into farther room,
and through that into third, and
there his searching gaze met the stare
of Billy Heckle. Heckle was young
man of about the same age as Lord
on the outlook for some one among the
arriving guests. The moment he saw
Lord Stansford slight frown gathered
upon his brow, and he moved among
the throng toward the spot where the
other stood Stansford saw him coming,
and did not seem to be so pleased as
might have been expected, but he made

Lord Stansford's face grew pale, and
he glanced about him to see if by
chance any one had overheard the re-
mark. He seemed about to resent it.,
but finally gained control over himself
and said:

Stansford turned to Miss Linderham,
who stood looking on. speechless with
horror and surprise,
''What brute you are" she said
with culver in her under lip.
"Yes, he replied quietly. "Most of
us men are brutes when you take lit

down, Miss Linderham? There is no

room. The conversation naa taken place
somewhat near a heavily curtained
window, and the two men stood slight
ly apart from the other guests When
they left the spot, the curtains were
drawn gently apart, and a tall, very
handsome young lady stepped from be-
tween them. She watched Lord STAINS
ford's retreat for moment, and then
made as though she would follow him,
but one of her admirers came forward
to claim her for the first dance. emusic

said. She placed her hand on the arm
of her partner and went out with him.
When the dance was over, she was
amazed to see Lord Stansford still in
the room. She had expected him to
leave when the son of his host spoke so
insultingly to him. but the young man
had not departed He appeared to be
enjoying himself immensely and danced
through every dance with the utmost
devotion, which rather put to shame

and he looked quickly around
"Oh, how do you do, Miss Under

"Why have you ignored me all the

with sparkling eyes.

with some embarrassment 81 did not

"Oh, that is worse than ignoring!

red in the face, sit is warm f."
The girl could not help noticing his
reluctance, but nevertheless she took
his arm, and they passed through sew
eral rooms to the terrace which faced
the garden. Lord Stansford's anxious
eyes again seemed to search the rooms
through which they passed, and again,
on encountering those of Billy Heckle,
Miss Linderham's escort shivered
slightly as he passed on. The girl Won
dered what mystery was at the bottom
of all this, and with feminine curiosity
resolved to find out even if she had to
ask Lord Stansford himself. They
sauntered along one Of the walks until
they reached seat far from the house.
The music foated out to them through
the open windows, faint in the dis
lance. Miss Linderham sat down and
motioned Lord Stansford to sit beside
her. ''Now, she said, turning her
handsome face full upon him, "why
have you avoided me all the EVENING"
II haven't avoided You, he said.
Tut. tut; you mustn't contradict a
lady, you know. I want the reason, the
real reason and no excuses.
Before the young man could reply

or anger, or perhaps both, strobe down

Lord Stansford sprang to his feet;
Miss Linderham arose also and looked
in some alarm from one young man to
the other.
