be put to bed in his room at the
ST. James, with hot water bottles at
his feet and a bag of chopped ice on

j. For. fortnight he hung tremulous
on the verge of collapse, and was
kept from tumbling in only by a just
horror of being seriously i'll in a

he made shift to ge out and find a
boarding place; and the effort, cou-

might safely trust himself in the
hands of motherly Mrs. Holcomb,
pushed him over the verge.

CHAPTER XVII.

On the way to Miss Grierson's
evening" Griswold amused himself
by specializing upon the probable
barbarism- of country reception.
Without suspecting it, he was insu-
lar to a degree little short of
Britannia; but he meant to be very
good-natured and charitable, and to
do what one. man might toward
ameliorating the barbarisms.
Wherefore he was properly humili-
ated when they were met at the door
servants and announced in the draw
ing-room with such pomp and cir
cumstance as was. neither countri-
fed nor barBaric. In good truth the
revulsion was so great that it was
he and not Miss Grierson who was
embarrassed when Raymer intro
duced him. -.
How good of you to come to us
on your first day out, Mr.. Griswold.
Let me make you comfortable" She
piled the cushions in corner of the
wide divan and made him sit down!
You are just to be an invalid this
evening, you know. I'm not going
to let anyone bore you.
Griswold gasped once or twice, and
grappled manfully with the facts. A
young girl was at the piano; there
was a pleasant hum of conversation;
everybody, himself excepted, seemed
quite at ease; the lights were not
glaring; the furnishings were not in
bad taste; in a word, the keynote
was altogether well-mannered and
urban and conventional.
And his hostess. Griswold had
met beautiful women. but none to
compare with her. She shone upon
and dazzled him. The charm was
purely sensuous, and he knew it, but
he basked in it like lizard IL the
sun. But he was forgetting TO thank
her.
Forgive me, Miss .Grierson; TIM
not usually tongue-tied. But it is all
so charmingly homelike; so vastly
