Romeos words.
Yet, now that 1t was over, 1t seemed
a dream, and Stella began to doubt,
to fear No formal words could more
fully disclose them, one to the other;
still an intangible veil had dropped
between them. Alfred was withheld
from her; or did he withhold himself?
No matter what it was, this hour she
would claim. One dance! Once to feel
his arms about her, to fancy him her
very own-she would dare fate for
this; would borrow from the future
this one little bit of time, nor care
what usury she must pay.
AS they neared Mr.. Croker stand
ing by the office door the jam Of
onlockers halted them Some one ad
dressed Stella and she did not hear
Mr. Crocker's low request for an i'm
mediate word with Alfred He told
her of 1t as they walked slowly down
the room
She saw an angry CLEAN in his eye,
saw his set, stern jaw; but he spoke
hardly word. Stella almost felt that
his anger was for her. In vain she looked
for some tender glance some whisper
that would explain. She could not
know that Alfred was fighting one of
the few fierce battles of his life; that
he was almost ready to strike out
with his fist for possession of her to
defy Mr.. Croker business, all the
sane and safe and dutiful things of
life. But the wild moment passed,
and more than once on his way to the
door he looked back tender messages
to her.
The supper hour came; but she
would not go with Gideon upstairs,
where it was laid in the corral, fear
ing that Alfred, in his first search for
her, would miss her. Neither would
she dance afterward, but sat out
schottische, refusing all on a plea Of
fatigue.
Gideon danced with no one but Stel-
Ia, and hung about her. entranced by
her new beauty. When at last a
waltz was called love and anger joined
hands "Just a few steps, Stella he
pleaded; when Vincent comes I'll
give way. Why doesn't he come in
spite of Charley Croker and claim
his dance like man."
"But he must stay If Mr.. Croker
Wishes" she said, her lips defending,
her heart sore.
DO you suppose so Charley Crock
ers or railroad jobs would keep me
from a promise to you?" Gideon asked
vehemently.
Something in Stella's passionate
heart responded for a moment to Gid
cons lawless flame, though deep in
her soul she knew that she more hon
ored Alfred's devotion to duty.
Anyway, I'd think you would be
ashamed to let him see so plainly that
you love him. Men don't care for girls
that fling themselves openly. They
despise EN-"
Stung as by lash, Stella rose, and
without word stepped out on the
floor with Gideon. In any garb he was
a striking figure. Tonight his fault
less dress enhanced his Spanish grace

pleaded almost before another had
seated her, and bore her off in the
face of dozen disappointed ones.
Ten O'Clock! Halfpast ten, Would
Alfred never come? Mr.. Croker came
down to look on, and Stella wished
desperately, unrea soninsly, that he
had gone to bed. Was he only waiting
for Alfred? Would business chain
him? But surely Alfred would insist
on this one night-what little there
was left of it.
Ten-forty! A scared-looking boy
came in with a note for Sally B.
Stella, watching her as she read, saw
her face grow white, saw her whisper
to the boy and send him away. And
she noticed that Sally B. danced and
laughed no more.

She nodded, flushed at the look he
sent to her over his shoulder from the
stair and ran in to help Sally B. set
the programme in motion.

perience of amateurs, for Alfred was
practised in such work and had drilled

All the evening Stella had looked
forward to the moment when she
might dance with Alfred. During the
programme Gideon had knocked at the
door of grandma ANS room, then the
green ROOM to ask for coming
waltzes, and had gone away scowling
at Stella's refusal.
Their brief players moment had
passed, when Alfred's eyes had burned
into hers, revealing his own heart in
