an explosion that shook their home

The cab stopped few minutes later
outside what seemed to be a private
house. The door was opened at once
Sophy wrote Johns name In a book
and they were ushered by the manager
who had come forward to greet them
into a long room, brilliantly lit, and

wonderingly. The popping Of cham.

fumes shaken from the clothes and
hair of the women, several more of
whom were now dancing. hung about
the place. A girl in fancy dress was
passing great basket Of flowers from
table to table.
Sophy sat with her head resting upon
her hands and her face very close to
her companions, keeping time with her
feet to the music.
"Isn't this rather nicer she whls-

The round table. covered with an ex-
quisitely fine cloth, was very simply
laid. There was q little glass Of the
finest quality, and a very little silver.
For flowers there was only one bowl. a
brilliant patch of some scarlet exotic,
in the center. .

invited" said Louise, as she took her
place at the table and motioned John
to a seat by her side, fills me with
curiosity. Who are to be your guests,

''Calavera and her sprites," the
prince announced.
Louise paused for a moment in the
act Of helping herself to hors d'oeuvres.
She glanced toward the prince. For a
moment their eyes met. Louise's lips
were family curled. It was almost as
II a challenge had passed between
them. Louise devoted her attention to
her guest.
'First Of ALL" she asked, tell me
how you like my little friendr'
Il think she is charming" John an
swered without hesitation. I'VE went
to a supper club last night and stayed
there till about half past three"

He looked at her quickly.
"You don't mind?"
MY dear man, why should mind?'
she returned. 1T is exactly what I
hoped for. You have come up to Lon
don with a purpose. You have an ex-
pertinent to make, an experiment in
living"
'The greater part Of my expert
ment," he pointed out, needs the help
Of only one person, and that person is
you"
She moved little uneasily In her
chair. 1t might have been his fancy,
but he imagined that she glanced un-
der her eyelids toward the prince of
Seyre. The prince, however, had
turned almost ostentatiously away
from her. He was leaning across the
table, talking to Faraday.
