Of contradictions and inconsistent

one change that Is planned is to
modify the penalty for a lost ball i'm

Another suggestion they are con-

change is not apparent especially

his fiancee's house, and he could never
leave his apartment but his feet bore
him in her direction. But at last the
night of the dinner arrived. When
Jocelyn was shown into the drawing
room he was surprised to find nearly
as many people assembled as on the
last occasion, and, notable among
these, Prince Won Mitfohlen, who
greeted him with a calm patronage
which showed only too clearly that he
little anticipated the blow that was
in store for him. May Jerrold was
radiant, and there was the mother-in-
law smile twinkling upon Mrs. Jer-
rold's mouth as she shook hands with
him.
"Welcome, dear Lord Jocelyn,' she
said, beaming on him.

punishment in store for you. Can you
guess what? am going to let you

Jerrold placed her hand upon Lord
Jocelyn's sleeve and he led her down
the stairs. Half way down he heard
Mays voice whisper behind him. He
turned, to see his fiancee following
upon the arm of Prince Won Mitfohlen,
who met his gaze with an insolent,
supercilious stare. Lord Jocelyn
chuckled to himself; he could not find
it in his heart to harbor resentful
feelings toward this young man who
was to receive so staggering a blow
SO soon. May had certainly arranged
her plans with ingenuity.
But after dinner he was disillusion.
ed, for the party resolved itself into
series Of bridge games, in which
both May and the prince participated.
And this diversion lasted during the
entire evening. SO that, when at last
the guests arose to go, Jocelyn was
chatting with rage. The destined in
terview between his fiancee and the
prince had not occurred, nor had he
had a chance to speak with May dur
ing the entire evening.
And he must speak with her. The
thought of departing without any fur.
ther understanding was intolerable to
him. AS the guests moved, laughing
and chatting, toward the door, a dar.
ing plan flashed through his mind.
The back door of the conservatory
opened upon the courtyard in the
rear of the house, through which he
could find his way to a side entrance
and emerge upon the street. Why
should he not conceal himself some
