Accepting the clew furnished
by this unknown friend, Everard
sat for u little while unnoticed in
the corner, content to watch the
blue and silver domino, who never

he felt sure. and he WAS somewhat
comforted to observe that she be-

entertained them and took them
in charge generally. Aftera little
conversation, dancing began, and
then the men felt the full force of
the situation.
They were obliged 10 stand
mcckly back and wait till they
were asked to dance, and Everard
had some dreadful minutes while
he watched the men around him

Just as he had registered this
praiseworthy resolution a red
domino came up and asked for the
pleasure of the dance, to which he
gratefully asscnted. Another and
another followed, and he found
himself rather enjoying the
piquancy of talking To partner to
whose identity he had no clew.
Only onc thing disturbed him, the
constant wonder was Courtney
