CHAPTER XIV.

Miss Dacres bright beady eyes
danced in her head with delight as
she chartered volubly to Lumley,
whose face grew rather sulky as he
listened, scarcely deigning to reply.
Here a welcome interruption came in
the shape of one of the English at
taches, for whom Lumley Immediately
vacated his seat; and, as Lord Everton
wished to say a word to one of the
singers, he departed behind the scenes,
and Lumley slipped into his place

Lumley, looking earnestly at her.

Hope interrupted him by holding up

exclaimed.
'You ought to know by this time
that l am too deeply interested in you
to pay you compliments"
And you ought to know by this
time, Captain Lumley, that l am an
ungrateful creature and not deserving
of your interest"
Whether you deserve it or not, l
can't help feeling it.

Iumley and Lord Everton are coming,
and Lady Delamere, and Monsieur de

with you after.
"Many thanks Miss Dacre, l really
must not" an animated argument
followed; but Hope Desmond stuck to
her resolution, and, declining Captain
Lumley's proffered escort, drove back
to Meurice's alone.
Mrs. Saville was rather amused in
Paris: she met many acquaintance
who did not bore her, and she tolerat-

to the incident disagree. The two
men were drinking in a resort. when
Roberts, in playful mood, is said
to have dropped some cigar ashes in
Hagan's beer.
Trouble followed and but little time
was lost in arguing the fine points in

the fight had started. Roberts came
back with a left hook, which taggered
Hagan, but only for a minute. The
two men had a lively tussle in the
middle OF the room. Finally the bout
