He had watched with an amused

She turned with a little movement
uncertain to define as pleasure or
d%ispleasure. and, in so doing, her bou-
quet-she had laid it on the couch
beside her-caught with the moving
fold of her dress and fell to the
ground. She hastily lifted it.
"Ah! you poor things" she ex-
claimed with her head bent over the
dropping beauty Of it's magnificent
roses, "'dissipation doesn't suit flow

A long pause followed, and Darony
smoked on meditatively. He moved at
last and, taking a turn about the
room, stopped behind the couch
| wherein his wife had seated herself.
He stood there some moments in 81

ing the pattern of the damask. Then
he bent over and laid his hand on

If happy was the word which re-

sob in her throat, it was a great con-
cession.
A spell Of extraordinary stiffness
followed. broken at last by the low
sweep of her dress as she made her
way to the door.
Her husband sprang forward. and
catching up her cloak reached the

against it.
