CHAPTER III.

Z 1t was two days after the reception
at the West End mansion OF Sir Henry
Lennox. the well-known Queens Coun-
sci. who was considered one Of the
wealthisst men connected with the
legal profession.
Hnderby had seen Cecil Lennox but
for few minutes. but she had then
been, able to utter the words that
thrilled Enderby through as NO other
words could have done.
"Come to see me ON Friday. It is
not my day at homo, but l shall be
at home-to you"
Paul Enderby was thirty, was bar-
rister, and was prosaic, yet his heart
and pulses throbbed like those Of q
sentimental boy of twenty as he was
admitted into the presence Of Cecil
Lennox.
She was certainly very beautiful
woman. AS she came forward to greet
him, her tea-gownl Of pale sea- green
and billowy lace falling in graceful
folds about her. Enderby thought that
no woman who ever lived could have
excelled her In beauty and grace. But
there were others who might have
thought that the beauty Of Cecil Len
nox-of the soft, exquisitely tinted
face. Of the rounded chin and throat.
the red-lipped, smiling mouth. the
deep. changeful, soft. violet eyes-had
something sensuous and voluptuous in
It,
Enderby did not think so. He loved
the woman-or was It the woman he
imagined her to be?-and that was
enough.
Cecil let her soft little hand lie in
his for moment. then she drew him
towards the silk-covered couch from
which she had risen.
"It was good OF you to come" she
said, in her low. caressins voice. I'VE
shall have tea presently. suppose
l needn't ask you how you enjoyed
my crush? People never do enjoy
crushes Why do We give them at
