youth, a man and woman. The
flushed face of the youth glowed
with expectation; the eyes Of the man

face and she bit her lip with vexation,
Tor she thought of herself: "Lo! there

bhthely.
The man received his robe, and his
face was as a face Illuminated, and
he spake, saying: "Lo The way has
been long and the burdens l have
borne were heavy, but now I am
clothed in sweetness and light" And
he went his way rejoicing.
Then the woman drew near, and in
her bosom her heart sang as a bird
For was she not to have new habili-

But, the robe being placed upon her,
she glanced down at it and said:
Are you sure it becomes me?"
And the angel answered: "The
garment of perfect happiness is be.

But the woman heard him not, for
her eye had detected a flaw in the

Now, this flaw was Of her own

fore he heard his valediction family
echoed.
AS he gained the lower floor the door
was closed at the top of the stairs and
its bolt shot home with soft thud.
When he turned to lock the lower one
he stayed his hand in transient inde-
cision.
Damn it," he growled uneasily-
there can't be any harm in that girl!
Impossible for eyes like hers to lie!
And yet And yet Oh. what's the

Why hesitate over ordinary precau,

So he locked that door, If very gent

made round of doors and windows to
examine their fastenings, he stumbled
heavily into the bedroom of his friend

tone a finality which signihed desire
TO drop the subject. None the less he
pursued mischieVously: Permit me to

and to express my regret that circum-
stances have conspired to change your
plans"
She was still eying him askance, du-
biously, as II weighing the question of
his acquaintance with her plans. when
the fiacre numbered from the Rue Vivi-

rounded that frowning pile, and drew

But I'll direct the cocher very care
fully to the Care du Nord. Please don't
even tip him-that's my affair. No,
not another word of thanks; to have
been permitted to be of service-it is
a unique pleasure, Miss Bannon. And
so, good night"
With an effect that seemed little
less than timid the girl offered her
hand.
THANK you, Mr.. Lanyard" she said
in an unsteady voice. 81 am sorry"
But she didn't say what it was she
regretted, and Lanyard, standing with
barred head in the driving mist, touched
her fingers coolly. repeated his fare
wells, gave the driver both money and
instructions, and saw the cab lurch
away before he turned toward the tel.

Not much" he interrupted pleas.
antly, In a soothing voice, "But-half

Directing the cocher 20 drive to the
Place Pigalle, he re-entered the cab

Immediately the vehicle swerved
rounded a corner, and made back
toward the Seine with a celebrity which
suggested that the stables lay on the
Rive Gauche.
"Where?" the girl demanded as Ian
yard sat back. Where are you taking
me?"
I'm sorry" Lanyard said, with every
appearance of sudden contrition; Il
acted impulsively-on the assumption
Of your complete confidence. Which,
Of course, was objectionable, But,
believe me. you have only to say no,
and It shall be as you wish"
But" she persisted impatiently-
you haven't answered me: what is

the States. he leaves me the keys. It's
a sober-minded, steady-paced neigh

misgivings and take our time to think
things out"
But" the girl began in an odd
tone.

'Well?" she said in the same tone
as he paused.
