CHAPTER vi

THEY'VE begun to dance! We're
missing it,
Marie Dupont sprang up and faced
Guy Amarinth expectantly. They were
alone in one of the Esplanade S small re-
ception rooms, whittier he had led her for
a cool, quiet moment as soon as the ap-
plause that followed their dance had final
ly stopped.
He did not move as she stood looking
down at him.
"It's waltz, and we're missing it,, she
repeated.
"Well, it's mine, and l want to miss it,
Sit down-please!' He drew her back to
the seat beside him. you're tired, any,
way
"Tired? l could dance forever!' She
flung her arms out exultingly.
He gave short laugh. Il thought you
were going to when you left me there
twiddling my thumbs. Really, thought
you might have told me you were going to
spring that new part.
"New part! Why will you say that?'
she exclaimed. "There was no new part.
1t was all exactly as we had rehearsed it
exactly!'
He shook his head mo, | had never
rehearsed the part you danced after Miss
Niklova stopped the orchestra and played
alone. Why, I'd never even seen it,
"Of course you had. Why will you
keep saying that? You've simply forgot
ten it, that's all. Miss Niklova told me
she was going to play alone because the
orchestra got the time all wrong That
was the only change"
"Oh, all right, he conceded. @I must
have dreamed it, guess I'm always
dreaming about you anyway. Wish

lin. Beside her sat Madame Adrienne.
well, my child, and what do you say
now of this Miss Dupont"
lrma's thin shoulders rose and fell in
weary shrug "The first day, Madame,
you said to me, She is dancer and
answered you, Evidently Is it not so?"
Madame Adrienne nodded.
"Eh bien! Today know no more than
then. | say this only: Here is something
we do not understand something we do
not know"
Evening star., 1915-05-16

She started up again, and again he held
her back.
"I'm not going to let you run away
this time. You've got to listen to me
tonight l can't go on like this want
my answer. Do you love me or don't
you?' His tone was determined; but his
eyes watched her face anxiously.
She answered reluctantly, her gaze on
his hand which covered her own. II don't
know"
"But you must know! Why, you-let
me kiss you once!'
at isn't fair to remind me of that You
promised to forget it,
He laughed shortly. How could for
get it when it was the one bit of hope
you've ever given me? was half mad
with happiness that highland the next
day. The next day-what do you sup
pose | did?"
She looked up wonderingly. He gazed
back, grimly silent
"What did you do?' she asked at last
"Oh, nothing much: just got mar
riage license"
"Guyr
"Well l said was crazy! For weeks
you'd been holding me Off"
II didn't promise anything, she inter-
rupted in low voice.
"No; but you'd said once that you
didn't believe you would ever marry I'M
less you were to do it on the spur of the
moment, unless the man just happened to
strike you at the psychological instant"
Il didn't mean that literally-you
might have known | didn't she pro-
tested. "And yeti don't know-per-
haps did"
She turned away from him, and her dark
eyes narrowed thoughtfully. He waited
"To go away-alone with the man you
love-just the two of you-and be married
with no fuss and feathers, no mob of peo-
pie that you don't care for and that don't
care for you-to be married quietly-no
one to know until-afterward!'
She'paused, and there was again silence
between them. Suddenly, as though the
undercurrents of their moods had met, his
arm slipped round her, and she yielded to
its pressure. Her head dropped to his
shoulder, and lips reached for lips.
TT was long kiss. A swell of distant
melody, far-away voices that laughed,
stole into the silence of the little room,
unnoted.
marry me tonight" he whispered.
Tonight"
"Why not? Well go away now, just
you and |, as you said, without any fuss
or any people. I've got the license.
"Here?"
"No; at my rooms. Listen! We can
slip away-it's early" He looked at his
watch. "Just eleven. Well get taxi,
stop at my rooms a moment, then find a
minister"
what Minister"
"Anyone-yours."
He'd ask questions"
"Well, there's the one that married
Ned Jessup and Grace Eustis. He doesn't
know u.s. and he's near. We can do it and
be back in half an hour"
He watched her eagerly. She did not
meet his glance. She bit her lip nervously.
"I wonder what Aunt Alicia would say
and Hugh?'
"They wouldn't care" he urged.
"'They know me. They wouldn't object
if we told them, would they?'
NO."

was too late. The dancer had stopped.
Marie Dupont swayed dizzily, and sew
eral people started from their seats; but
Amarinth had reached her side, and she
moved into his arms in dancing position
He stumbled awkwardly into step with
