He looked at her as though doubt

sibly be in earnest.
II cannot conceive" he said, how
any other occupation could ever have
occurred to you. You do not need me
to remind you of your success at
Paris. The papers are continually
wondering what has become of AL

Again that curious smile which
puzzled him so much parted her lips
for q moment.
Dear me- she said, II fancy you
exaggerate my fame. can't imagine
Londoners-particul interested in
me-"
He shrugged his shoulders. Even
now he was not at all sure that she
was not playing with him. There were
so many things about her which he
could not understand. She began to
draw on her gloves thoughtfully.
II am very much Obliged for the

he answered. II hope that whatever

him down the narrow stairs, that 1

that we shall come across one another

answered, little ruefully. Won't you

She shook her head.

IF you think it worth WHILE" she
answered doubtfully.
Apparently he thought it very much
worth while. Restraining with an ef-
fort his intense curiosity, he talked Of
general subjects only, trying his best to
entertain her. He succeeded so well
that they were almost in Montague
street before Anna stopped short.
"Heavens!" she exclaimed. II have
brought you very nearly to my door.
Go back at once, please.
He held out his hand obediently.

For moment she was grave.

She walked with long, swinging steps,
scorning the thought of omnibuses or
the tube. If ever she felt fatigue in
these long trampS, which had already
taken her half over London, she never
admitted it. Asking her way once or
twice, she passed along Fleet street
into Piccadilly. Here she walked more
slowly, looking constantly at the no.
tices in the shop windows. Once she
entered and met with a sharp rebuff,
which she appeared to receive un-
moved. But when she reached the
pavement outside her teeth were
clenched, and she carried herself un-
