her to let me teach her the new dance,
she said:

"But want to teach you. When
wish to teach them, l will go to Them"
"You did 60 to several others before
you thought Of coming to me-" answer.

that was the unkindest thing ever
knew girl to do-refuse me what she
knew l so wanted and then put the re-
fusal on the pretended ground that l
did not care much about it. l so told
her, and she saw she had carried things
too far and that l was growing angry
in earnest. She then made another
false though somewhat fattering ex-
cusc:
II could not bear to go through that
dance before so large company. I
should not object SO much if no one else
could see-that is, with you, Edwin"
Edwin" Oh, so soft and sweet! The
little jade! To think that she could
hoodW1nk me so easily and talk me into
good humor with her soft, purring
"Edwin! I saw through it all quickly
enough and left her without another
word. In few minutes she went into
an adjoining room where l knew she
was alone. The door was OPEN and
the music could be heard there, SO /

wish," said l.
She saw she was cornered, and re-
Piled, with toss of her saucy little
head, "But what If do not wish?"
| Now. this was more than l could en-
dure with patience, so answered, my
young lady, you shall ask me before l

| There are others who can dance it
much better than you," she returned.
without looking at me.
! III you allow another to teach you
that dance" I responded, you will
have seen the last of me-" She had
made me angry, and l did not speak to
her for more than week. When l
did-but will tell you of that later on.
The evening was devoted to learning
the new dance, and saw Mary busily
engaged imparting information among
the ladies. AS we were about to dis.
perse heard her say to Brandon:
You have greatly pleased the king

| He asked me where I learned it, and l
told him you had taught it to Casko-
den and that had it from him. told
Caskoden SO that he can tell the same
story"
"Oh, but that Is not true. Don't you
think you should have told him the

II can't help it. You do not know.

enjoyed such a famous time in my

sufferer"
"But might you not have compre-

That was mistake, for it gave Mary
an opportunity to retaliate: "The best
way to 60 around the truth, as you call
it, is by direct lie. Ny lie was no
worse than yours. But did not stop
to argue about such matters. There is
something else wished to say. want
to tell you that you have greatly

your fortune is made. He has had
some Jews and Lombards in of late to
teach him new games at cards, but
yours is worth all of them" Then,
