They danced the first waltz together,
more as a matter of duty than anything
else, for Jack was but an Indifferent
dancer. Then Dora was whisked away
for a bewildering succession of lancers,
Quadrilles and barn dances, while Jack
sat beside her mother and realized that
for one who despises dancing and yet be-
comes engaged to the best dancer in the
district, the course Of true love will GER
tainly not run smoothly.
To d to this discomfort, Just after
Dora had been claimed for q waltz by his
new friend, Ridgeway, he became an I'M
willing listener to a conversation be-
tween the mother Of the latter and Dora's
mother. Mrs. Ridgeway, who had returned
to Davyhulme with her son, greeted Mrs.
Slade as an old friend, and took a seat be-
side here.
Dora is here, 1 suppose?"
"Oh, yes!"
After saying this, Mrs. slade glanced
~nervously over her shoulder, and then
turned partly round, intending to intro
duce Jack to Mrs. Ridgeway. But the
latter plucked eagerly at her old friends
sleeve.
Wouldn't 1t be nice,' she said, IF my
son and Dora would only make up their
lovers quarrel?"
Mrs. Slade ~interposed hurriedly, in a vain
endeavor to prevent further condolences.
ALLOW me to-
And really, my dear" continued Mrs,
Ridgeway, gazing across the room toward
a quiet corner, 1T almost appears as

She turned round. Jack Shrewsbury had
disappeared.
Dora and her former lover were gliding
around the room to the dream-like mu-
sic of a waltz. Round and round they
swept and circled, in and out among the
crowd.
Dora was enjoying this dance better
than any other during the evening, for

Every window in the assembly rooms at
Davyhulme blazed forth light wei
come.
Noting the general air of festivity, one
turned instinctively to look for the Gus
tomary red strip Of carpet and the can
vas awning at the entrance gates, and
round them both. Then, perhaps, II the
paSser-by were a philosopher or q woman,
he or she might stay to look o. for q few
moments.
Cab after cab rolled up to the rooms.
mysterious figures, hooded and cloaked
most tantalizingly, stepped daintily to the
ground, ran nimbly over the red strip.
and disappeared In a twinkling. The por-
ter damned the door and the cab ratified
onward into the darkness to make way
FOR Che next arrival.
To Jack Shrewsbury, who presently ar
rived with his fancee and her mother, this
was the proudest evening Of his life.
In the first place he had only been en-
gagged to Dora Slade for three days, and,
as every one knows, the first delirium Of
the love fever lasts for at least e week.
After that time the love continues, but
the fever abates somewhat.
This was their first appearance in pub
lie since the engagement. AS they hurried
across the red strip he felt convinced
that the eyes Of the crowd were fixed upon
her In overpowering admiration. Every
young man who is worth his salt passes
through this stage, and indeed 1t must be
admitted that some do so more than once.
AS Jack, having taken off his hat and
overcoat and stroked his hair three times
once over each ear. and once over his
I~orehead-was waiting for the ladies', a
friend OF his, named Beesley, came toward
him, accompanied by a stranger.
Good EVENING"" said Beesley. May I
Introduce two particular friends Of mine
to each other? Mr.. Ridgeway-Mr.
Shrewsbury"
They shook hands, muttering the usual
commonplace.
Beesley beamed upon them both, as one
conscious of a good action.
You two chaps ought to be good
friends, he added. "for you're both mad
on books"
After this he hurried away, probably to
seek some saner companionship, and the
two new acquaintance fell to comparing
notes on the subject Of their madness.
R~idgeway, who had formerly lived in
.Davyhulme, had been stationed In Lon
don at the headquarters Of his firm, for
two years. He had now returned to take
up the sub-nanagership at the office
where he had started his business life.
by a strange coincidence the literary
tastes Of the two men were almost the
same. and their friendship throve on this
common basis.
Then Ridgeway's sisters came to claim
him, and he mad an appointment to call
on his new friend the following evening.
Shortly afterward Dora Slade and her
mother appeared, n Jack hurried to
meet them, with a guilty sense Of having
absolutely forgotten Dora for more than
ten minutes.

fashionable hotel In the country.
Their little pond was not much larger
than they needed for their comfort. but

Every evening the ladies and gentlemen
from the hotel would put on their fine
clothes and walk around the pond and
say:

Both Mr.. Goose and MI. Green Bull
Frog were much pleased at being SO rec

so much of it at the hotel. Each was to
