"This is very nearly my idea of per-
feet happiness" Sophy murmured, as
she leaned across the table and listened
idly while John ordered the dinner.
"Give me very little to eat, John, and
talk. a great deal to me. 1 am de-
pressed about myself and worried
about everything!'

"Well, the most respectable young
man you ever knew in your life, who
lives in Bath, wants me to marry him.

1 could marry anyone. And I've just

I haven't paid my rent, and my dress

"There's only one thing to answer
to that" John insisted cheerfully. Il

down the room. John slowly resumed
his seat.
'Sophy," he demanded hoarsely, tell
me the truth. Is there anything be-
tween the prince and Louise?"
Sophy nervously crumbled up the
toast by her side.
1.-THE prince admires Louise, and has
done so for many years." she answered.
mo one knows anything else. Louise
never speaks of him to me. I cannot
tell you"
"But you must know" he persisted,
with little Break in his voice. "For-

the hand.

change, and her instinct warned her
Of the danger into which she was rush
ing.
'You surprise me very much" she
said. Louise Maurel is very won
derful woman, but she seems to spend
the whole Of her time with my cousin,
tie prince"
'They are, without doubt, very
friendly" John assented. "They have

do not ina CINE, however, that the
prince wishes to marry her, or she

Lady Hilda began to- laugh, softly,
but as if genuinely amused. John sat
and watched her in ominous silence.
Not the flicker of a smile parted his
lips. His visitor, however, was undis-
F<urbed She leaned over and patted
his hand.
"Simple Simon!" she murmured,
leaning a little toward him, IF you
go on looking like that, I shall pat
your cheeks, too. You are really much
too nice looking to wear such thun-
der clouds!"
"Perhaps if we chose some other
subject of conversation" John said
stiffly.
ooh, dear met" she interrupted.
every we'll! You really are most
trying person, you know. put up with
d great deal from you"
John was silent. Her face darkened
a little, and an angry light flashed
in her eyes.
"Well, I'll leave you alone if you
like" she decided tossing her cigarette
into the CRATE. eff my friendship isn't
worth having, let it go. 1t hasn't
often been offered in vain. There are
more men in London than could count
who would go down on their knees for
such visit as I am paying you. And

tremble of real anger in her tone,
you're too hatefully polite and prig-
gish! Come and ring the bell for the
lift. am going!"
She slid gracefully to her feet, shook
the cigarette ash from her Clothes and
picked up her muff.
"You are really an egregious, thick
headed, obstinate countryman,' she de-
clared, as she moved toward the door.
"You haven't either manners or sensi-
bility. I am a perfect idiot to waste
my time upon you. I wouldn't have
done it," she added, as he followed her
dulnbly down the corridor, IF hadn't
rather liked you"
II am very sorry" he declared II

have been very kind to me indeed"
She hesitated as his finger touched
the bell of the lift, and glanced at
the watch on her wrist. She sighed.
and watched the top Of the lift as 1T
came up. Then she dropped her veil.

man in my position should be glad to
know. He has shown me one side OF
London life pretty thoroughly"
"And what about it all?" Graillot
demanded. "You find yourself some
thing more of citizen of the world,
.eh?"
''Not a bit," John answered simply.
saThe more I see of the life up here,
the.smaller it seems to me. / mean, OF
course, the ordinary life Of pleasure,
the life to be lived by young man
like myself, who hasn't any profession
or work upon which he can concen-
trate his thoughts"
"Then why do you stay?"
John made no immediate reply. In
stead, he walked to the window of his
sitting room and stood looking across
the Thames with discontinued frown
upon his face. Between him and the
Frenchman a curious friendship had
sprung up during the last few months.
II gather" Graillot continued, 'that,
to put it concisely and truthfully, you
are the most bored man in London.
There is something behind all this eff
fort of yours, my friend, to fit your
self, the round human being, into the
square place. Speak the truth, now
Treat me as father confessor."
John swung round upon his heel. In
the clear light it was obvious that he
was a little thinner in the face and
that some of the tan had gone from his
IcompleSion.
IT am staying up here, and going on,
with it." he announced doggedly, "be-
cause of woman"
Graillot stopped eating, placed the
remains of his cake in the saucer Of his
Iteacup, and laid it down. Then he
opened his lips to speak and abruptly
closed them. His face suddenly under
went an extraordinary change. A few
seconds ago his attitude had been that

"Even If it hurts afterward, it will be

The next night Sophy acted as show
man at the first production Of the play,
so long delayed because Of Graillot's
insistence on a scene that promised
to be startling to English playgoers.
Her part was over at the end Of the
first act, and few minutes later she
slipped into seat by Johns side be-
hind The curtain.
"What do you think Of it so far2"
she asked a little anxiously.
1T seems quite good" John replied
cheerfully. "Some very clever lines,
and all that sort Of thing; but l can't
quite see what it's all leading to-
Sophy peered around the house from
behind the curtain.
"There isn't standing room any
where" she declared. II don't sup

that was more talked about; and then

months-why, there have been all sorts
Of rumors about. Do you want to

II shouldn't know them, if you told me.
There are just a few familiar faces.

John shook his head.
"No. thought it better to leave her

whether I want to. Is it being given

The curtain went up upon the sec.

one, but the writing was brilliant

II don't see anything so terrible In
this" John remarked, as the crutain
went down once more and thunders
of applause greeted some wonderful
lines of Graillot's.
