perhaps my manners were not quite

I'VE had a slight difference on the
subject of kisses. Don't you remem-

Happily there was no necessity to
reply, for my father came to say that
he wished to show his lordship the
improvements he had been making,
and the rest of us were at liberty to
follow them.
The improvements consisted chiefly
of new wing to the old house, con-
tanning q dining roora still unfur-
nished, which had been modelled, as I
found later, on the corresponding
room in Castle Raa.
With a proud lift OF his white head
my father pointed out the beauties of
his new possession, while my intend

eye, looked on with a certain con-
descension. and answered with a Ian

went into the plain old dining room,
where Aunt Bridget placed her prin-

all about her late husband. the Colo

could see that Lord Raa was soon
very weary of this, and more than
once, sitting by his side I caught the
cynical and rather supercilious re-
sponses to which. under the gloss Of
his gracious manners, Aunt Bridget
seemed quite oblivious.
I was so nervous and embarrassed
that spoke very little during lunch
con. and even Aunt Bridget observed
this at last.
Mary dear, why don't you speak?"
she said.
But without waiting for my reply
she proceeded TO explain To his lord

come over me since I was a chili.

to tell her of my return home,
when l heard the toot OF horn and
raising my eyes saw motor car COM

a haunting sense OF coming trouble.
Reaching the door of the drawing
room I saw my intended husband for
the first time-there being nothing in
his appearance to awaken in me the
memory of ever having seen him be-
fore.
He was on the hearthrug in front
of the fire, talking to Betsy Beauty,
who was laughing immoderately. To

same time to compose myself. /

three gentlemen (the two lawyers
and Lord Raa's trustee or guardian)
who were standing with my father in
the middle of the floor.
He was undoubtedly We'll dressed
and had certain air Of breeding, but
even to my girlish eyes he betrayed
at that first sight the character of a
man who had lived an irregular, per-
haps dissipated life.
His face was pale, almost puny, his
gray eyes were slow and heavy his
mustaChe was dark and small, his
hair was thin over his forehead, and
he had a general appearance of being
much Older than his years which !
knew to be 80.
His manners. when | approached
him, were courteous and gentle, al
most playful, but through all their
softness there pierced a certain hard
ness, not to say brutality which l
afterward learned twhen life had had
It's tug at me, to associate with a

Betsy Beauty made a great matter
of introducing us; but in a drawing
voice, and with a certain play Of hu-
