CHAPTER V.
Vanished.

Glynn was far from being satisfied
With his own decision. Elsie's face,
ler eyes, the quiet grace of her figure
Ind movements, were perpetually be-
lore him. If Elsie loved him, then
he would dare all things; but she did
aot 1t would be better for her, as
we'll as for him, to leave her in the
tranquility of Indifference than to
awaken an interest that could only
cad to trouble. So as it was Friday,
Glynn determined to go Madame Da-
Filliers' in the evening, for the result
of his wise cogitations was burning
desire to meet Miss Lambert to as
sure himself of her Indifference.
Elsie greeted him with a bright,
amused smile, as though his presence
suggested some droll idea.
IT don't see your father here to-
night" said Glynn.
"He has been called rather sud-
denly to Dunkerque," she replied,
but will return on Monday. He
seemed in better spirits, and think
The change will do him good"
'I hope so, especially as you reflect
his moods. You are looking more
ike yourself than when I first re-
turned"
"Ah, 1 was very miserable then.
But one reason why 1 feel so much
brighter is that my father has prom
!sed I shall go for few months to
Mrs. Kellett, to my old home, Wood
burn, and then we shall give up our
etage here"
"And how will you bear the seclu-
sion-the change from Partisan gay
sties?" looking earnestly into her
eyes, and wondering what motive un-
der1ay this sudden change.
81 shall like it very much; should
like anything that would secure
peace"
Then he felt obliged to offer his
congratulations to Mademoiselle An
toinette, after which M. LIE Vicomte
was introduced, and it seemed to him
that half the evening was over before
he managed to return to Elsie.
care you going to sing to-night?"
"No; these gentlemen and Mad
anne d'Italia will give us far better
music than can"
mot in my opinion; your singing
goes straight to my heart"
Elsie smiled and looked at her fan,
Glynn felt almost irresistibly inn
pelled to tell her how charming sne
vas, but he did resist.
81 suppose must not call while
your father is absent" he resumed;
and I have found some delightful
7olumes in Tauchnitz, which should
like to give you.''
"Can you not send them?" she
asked, looking at him with laughing
eyes. II want books very much; no
3ne gives me books but you"
''Then must bring them myself" ="
"Why not? I shall be very glad
to see you: so will Madame Weber" "
Thank you! May I come to-more
cow?"
"To-morrow? No; tomorrow go
with Antoinette to visit the good la
lies able to tell me when we can go
to England"
"But you will return to Paris?"
ST do not know; nothing is GER
tain"
II hope you will promise certainly
to dance with me at this ball"
"Shall you be here when it takes
place."
"Yes, certainly; nothing shall pre-
vent me from being present.
A faint color fickered over Elsie's
cheek, as If this resolution IMPLIED
a personal compliment, and an
amused smile parted her lips.
"Then you like dancing?"
"That depends. At any rate I
want to dance the first dance with
you at your first ball"
Elsie laughed. Every good"
"And I suppose you are fond OF
dancing?"
81 love it," earnestly.
docs your friend Vincent dance
well?"
