CHAPTER XVI.

IF only he didn't dance so divine
| ly," she thought, as the next mo-
ment they glided surely and dexter
ously through the dancers, avoiding
the numbering heavy ships which
bore down on them. All at once, a
memory Of what he had told her
came into her mind.
Il thought you were going
abroad"
Il am-day after tomorrow"
All her antagonism left her. She
did not know why, but the knowl-
edge that he was leaving, that he
would go out of her life, changed
everything. He was going-that
was the essential thing.
I've been trying to snub you, but
you wouldn't let me-" she said
gently.
Because l guessed too much7"
Il don't admit you guessed right"
she said, laughing in some confu-
sion. However, I've been horrid.
Forgive me?"
Il hadn't noticed it," he said
pleasantly.
HE doesn't the least care what
/ do" she thought angrily. "'He
thinks | am throwing myself at
him like a hundred other women.
/ am a little idiot"
In moment, she stopped him.
Floors really too crowded-and
beside, you don't enjoy dancing like
this"
1T is crowded"
When she came to her seat at
the table, she looked at him with a
smile, which she was far from feel
ing.
Don't be polite. Go back to Mrs.
DellabarrG."
Laracy passed; she summoned
him and turned into the crush again.
But this pointed revenge brought
her no satisfaction. Why had she
accepted the dance with him? Why
had she sought to excuse herself
and, above all, what had possessed
her ill-humor? He was sitting be-
side Irma-she could see him from

take the pains to notice what she
did.
She began to flirt openly with
the other men, tolerating even Bar
risdale, trespassing recklessly, feel
ing that in the smile she gave an
other she was Furnishing him.
In truth, her success was easy,
for she was the only one to whom
pleasure was young. To her, it was
not a mental intoxicant but a natur-
al impulse. This rushing progress
from restaurant to restaurant, this
delight of music and rhythmic mo-
ton, the hundred little episodes |
which sent them into peals of laugh
ter, we're all of the sparkling sur
face. She saw nothing below the
sheen of pleasure, neither the flight
from boredom nor the lurking shad-
ows of covetousness and frenzy. To
her, this world was really young and
gay and happy, and, eager as a
child, she succeeded in communicat-
ing something of this illusion to the
rest. When 5 o'clock arrived, and
the moment for the flight before the
dawn, she gave cry of disappoint-
nent.
"What-already?"
The chagrin of her exclamation |

Enormous Illicit Still is
Unearthed Near New York

New York, Feb. 4.-Discovery of
an illicit still where vast quantities
of "moonshine" whisky and alcohol
were being manufactured was made
today at Valley Stream, Long Is

TOR more than ten years. In one
shed the revenue officers located
pipes leading to an enormous under
ground tank, whirh was filled with
liquor.

CANADIAN GIRL BELIEVED
TO HAVE CAPTURED PRINCE.

The hope of a Washington girl cap

to have gone glimmering.
Has Lady Dorothy Cavendish, sec
ond daughter OF the Duke of Devon

stolen a march on her American and
Canadian cousins?

visit of Edward, Prince of Wales,

Winnipeg are anything but idle

Backed by the vast wealth of the
Devonshire familJ and social po-

the Duchess of Devonshire. it is said,
has taken advantage of the pro-

against foreign marriages for royal
heirs, and set out to land the prince
as a son-in-law.
