night or dance with Hector.
And Hector was thinking

For good or i'll, I cannot keep away
He was deep in the tolls Of, desire and
passionate love for a woman belonging TO
some one else and out of his reach, and for
whom he was hungry. Thus the primitive
forces Of nature were in violent activity,
and his soul was having a hard hght. IL
was the first time in his life that woman
had really mattered or had been impossible
to obtain. He had always looked upon
them as delightful accessories sport hrst'
and woman, who was only another form
of sport, second
He had not neglected the obligations OF
his great position, but they came naturally
to him as of the days work. They were
not real interests in his life. And when
stripped of the veneer of civilization ne
was but a passionate, primitive creature
like numbers of others of his class ana age.
While the elevation of TheOdora's pure
soul was an actual influence upon him. ne
had thought it would be possible-dinlcult'
perhaps-but possible to obey her-to keep
from troubling her-to regulate his passion
into worship al distance. But since then
new influences had begun to work-promi-
nent among them being jealousy.
To see her surrounded by others-who
were men and would desire her, tOO-drove
him mad. Josiah was difficult enough to
bear. The thought that he was her hus-
band, and had the rights Of this position,
always turned him sick with raging dis
gust; but that was the law, and a law
accepted since the beginning of time.
These others were not of the law-they
were the same as himself-and would all

Her path was strewn with lovers. and
protected by a proud and complacent hus-
band who had realized early he never
would be master of the situation, and had
preferred peace to open scandal. She
was woman of sixty now, and, report said,
still had her lapses. But every incident
was carried off with high handed, brazen
daring. and an assumption of right and
might and prerogative which paralyzed
criticism.
So it was that with the record of a
demi-mOndaine-and not one kind action
to her credit-Lady Harrowfield still held
her place among the spotless, and ruled
as a queen. There was not above two
years difference between her age and
Lady Bracondale's; indeed the latter had
been one of her bridesmaids; but no one
to look at them at a distance could have
credited it for a minute.
Lady Harrowfield had golden hair and
pink cheeks, and her stout figure retained
in the most fashionable outline. And if

lost at bridge. her face did remind on
lockers of a hideous cOlOred mask of death
and old age-one can't have everything
in life; and Lady Harrowfeld had already
obtained more than the lions share.
This night in June she stood at the top
of her splendid staircase, blazing with
jewels, receiving her guests, among whom
more than one august parsonage, English
and foreign, was expected to arrive; and
an unusually sour frown disigured the
thick paint Of her face.
1t all seemed like fairyland to Theodore
as, accompanied by Josiah, and preceded
by Mrs. DeVlyn, she early mounted the
marble steps with the rest of the throng.
She noticed the insolent stare of her host
ess as she shook hands and then passed
on in the crowd. She felt a little shy
