The ten of hearts again! Hang
the card! And then with sigh of
relief | recollected that in all prob
ability he, like Columbine, had heard
me call out the card to Hamilton.
Still, the popularity of the card was
very disquieting. / wished it had
been seven or five; there's luck in
odd numbers. A Blue Domino!
NV heart leaped, and ! thought of
the little ticket in my waistcoat
pocket. A Blue Domino! If, by
chance, there should be connection
between her and the ticket!

of orange trees. l crossed over and

why they do not give masquerades

"That is easily explained. Most OF
us live masquerading day by day, and
there might be too much of good

CHAPTER IN,

When they give you mask at a
ball they also give you the key to all
manner of folly and impudence. Even
stupid people become witty, and the
witty become correspondingly daring.
For all knew, the Blue Domino at
my side might be Jones wife, or
Browns or Smiths, or even Green's
but so long as l was not certain, it
mattered not in what direction my
whimsical fancy took me. ct is true
that ordinarily Jones and Brown and
Smith and Green do not receive in
vitations to attend masquerades at
fashionable hunt clubs; but some
