iy. He had beeu gone just two min
utes by the watch. The old gentleman
greeted him warmly. and Lorry asked
them to what hotel they were going.
on being Informed that they expected
TO spend the day at the Ebbirt he vol
unteered to accompany them. saying
that he intended to breakfast there.
Quicker than a fash a glance unfath-
enable as il was brief passed between
the three. not quickly enough. however.
TO escape his keen. watehful eyes. on
the alert since the beginning of his ac-
quaintance with them, In conjunction
with his ears. TO catch something that
might satisfy IN a measure his burning
curiosity. What was the meaning Of
that glance: Ii half angered him, for
IN it he thought he could distinguish
annoyance. apprehension. dismay or
something equally disquieting. Before
he could stiffen his long frame and
give ven to the dignihed reconsidera-
ton that flew TO his mind the young
lady dispelled all pain and displeasure,

delighted 10 have you breakfast with
US. Mr.. Lorry. If il is convenient for
you. You can talk to US of your won
derful city. ! am sure we cannot trou-
ble you much longer"
He eXpostulated CALAMITY and de
lightedly and then hurried forth to call
a cab. At S O'Clock he breakfasted with

drive with him.
His ardent g~allantry met with a sur
prising rebuke. Her voice. a moment

tone instantly TO one so proud and ar
.rogant that he could scarcely believe
his ears.
Il shall be engaged during the entire
day, Mr.. Lorry," she said slowly. look
ing him fairly in the eyes with cruel
positiveness. For a moment he dared
not speak.
II have reason to feel thankful that
you are to be engaged" he said at last
calmly. without taking his eyes from
hers. II am forced to believe. much to
my regret, that | have offended when
| Intended 10 please. You will pardon
my temerity."
There was no mistaking the resent
ment in his voice or the glitter in his
eyes. Impulsively her little hand was
stretched forth. falling upon his arm.
while into her eyes came again the soft
glow and to her lips the most pathetic.
appealing smile, the forerunner OF a
pretty plea for forgiveness. The change
startled and puzzled him more tina
ever. In one moment she was unrea-
sonably rude and imperious, in the
mex gracious and imploring.

eyes battling bravely against the steel
In the gray ones above. Il was so

you Just now, bat overlook my unkind
treatment of your invitation. Please,
Mr.. Lorry, | beg of you'll beg for the

His wrath melted away like snow be-
fore the sunshine. How could he resist
such an appeal? Il beg for the first
time in my life" whirled in his brain.
What did she mean by that?

gravely
