Mrs. Roosevelt was particularly inter-

bowed to acknowledge the smile of some
one who passed by.

A Blue Cloak and a Scarlet.

Miss Pat asked me to dine at st.
Agatha's that night. The message
came Unexpectedly line on one Of
those quaint visiting-cards of hers,
brought by the gardener; and when
had penned my acceptance 1 at once
sent the following message by lima
to the boat-maker's house at Red
Gate:
ITO Rosalind at Red Gate: 1t is i'm
portant for you to appear with me at the
Port Annandale casino tonight. and to
meet Reginald Gillespie there. He is
pledged TO refer in no way to family af-
fairs. If he should attempt to, you need
only remind him of his promise. He will
imagine that you are some one else, so
please be careful not to tax his magma
ton too far. There Is much at stake
which I will explain later. You are to re-
fuse nothing that he may offer you. 1

st. Agatha's just as dinner was an
nounced and we went out at once to
the small dining room Used by the sis

faced Miss Pat, with Helen on one
hand and Sister Margaret on the 9TH
er. They were all in good humor, even
Sister Margaret proving less austere
than usual, and it is not too much to
say that we were merry party. Helen
led me with a particular intention to
talk of Irish affairs, and avowed her
own unbelief in the capacity of the
Irish for government.
Now, Helen!" admonished Miss
Pat, as our debate waxed warm.
"Oh. do not spare me! I could not
be shot to pieces in a better cause."
"The trouble with you people" de
clared Helen with fnality, is that

rather obvious intention of leaving US
to ourselves. l expected to start at
eight for my rendezvous at Red Gate,
and my ear was alert to the Ginning

She was resting her arms on the
high sill, gazing out upon the lake. I
stood near, watching her, and as she
sighed deeply my heart ached for her;

swiftly with mischief laughing in her
eyes.
