CHAPTER il.-Continued.

The picture gallery was new, an adj
dition; and the plain, narrow, unex-
pected door in this place, where all
was high, arched, elaborate and -four
ished, was like a loophole through
which to slip into a foreign atmos-
phere. This atmosphere was resinous
of fresh wood; the light was thick
with drifting notes; the carpets
harshly new, slipping beneath the feet
on the too polished floor; the bare
bones of the place yet scarcely COW
cred. But it's quiet was after all COM
parative. There were plenty of people
lingering in groups, in the center OF
the gallery, which was dusky, eclipsed
by the great refectors that circled
the room, throwing out the pictures in
a bright band of color around the
walls. People leaning from this bor-
der of light back into the dusk to
murmur together, vanished and reap
peared with such fascinating abrupt
ness that Flora caught herself guess
ing what sort of face, where this
nearest group stood just on the edge
of shadow, would pop out Of the dark
next.
IS She was ready for something ex-
traordinary, but now, when it came,
she was taken aback by it. 1t gave
. her a start, that toss of black hair,
that long, irregular, pale face whose
scintillant, sardonic smile was merci-
lessly upon the poor, inadequate pic
ture-face fronting him. His stoop
above the rail was so abrupt that his
long, lean back was almost horizontal
yet even thus there was something
elegant in the swing of HMM the
careless twist of his head, around, tc

light above struck blind on the glass

smiling recognitions to Clara, to Flora,
to Ella, smiled with sharpened in
terest. 1t proclaimed that Kerr was
stranger, and, in a circle which
found itself little stale for lack OF
innovations, a desirable one.
Apparently the dominant note of
their party was Elias clamorous Sc
lection for the supper; but to Flora
, the more real thing was the atmos-
phere of excitement and mystery she
had been moving in all the evening.
She was pursued by the obsession of
something more about to happen
something imminent 49, though, of
course, nothing would; at least, how
could anything happen here, to them?
And by "them,' she meant herself
and these people around her so stupid
ly talking-the eternal repetition of
the story she had read out that even
ing to Clara, and not one glimmer OF
light! She wondered if her obsession
was all her own-or did it reach to
one of them? Certainly not Ella; not
Judge Butler, settled into his collar,
choosing champagnes. Clara? She
had to skip Clara. One never knew
whether Clara had not more behind
her smooth prettiness than ever she
brought to light? Kerr? Perhaps.
With him she felt potentialities
enormous. Harry? Never. Harry
was being appealed to by all the wom-
en- who could get at him as to his part
in the affair-what had been his SEN
sations and emotions? But Flora
knew perfectly we'll he had had none.
He was only oppressed by the atten'
ton his fame in the matter, and the
central position of their table, brought
him. Protesting, he made his part as
small as possible.
"Oh, confound it, if I can't get al
my oysters!" he complained, leaning
back into his group again with
sigh.
