7 UCIE was the miHionaire's pro-
tegee- In his luxurious home.
amidst the GlitteTing display Of
wealth, by a sort o. irony Of
fate, she reigned as a queen, one might
say She had a certain grace and
charm. and seemed quite at her ease in
kingsley-s mansion The sumDtuoLs
surroundings We're a fitting frame for
her undeniable beauty. She did MOI
seem at all astonished at her immense
good fortune. She accepted IL with the
same Indifference that she had shown
when she had been held in serlusiOn in
yhe house at Neuilly- She took every

She rang for her maid.

The boxes contained the trouSseau
that had been ordered for her when

She at once put my silence down 10 re-
grets. for she said, quickly

love me. after all"
That did not" I said. Indignantly.
Kingsley came in az that moment,
and taking me faniliarly by the arm,
drew me into the smoking -rOOm."
What is she bringing that bridal

I laughed

We had fixed the day of the wedding
that the doctor and Evelyne were GO

long, telling me the preparations that

they would be married 50 Kingsley
had fixed LuCie's wedding for the same
day. 7 wanted to get these two mar
riages over, so that I could turn more

string seats for any performance may,
by telephOning their orders 20 the box
office, have the seats delivered imme-
