Iincaua will be the lingo of the

countries as well, according to
Louis Franck, Governor of the
Belgian National Bank and former
secretary of the colonies.
1t Is the Esperanto of the dark
races in Equatorial Africa and is
composed of words picked here and
there from the 366 Bantu dialects
which are spoken along the Cogo
river. Every native recruit in the
Belgian Congo is row taught LIN
gala which Mr.. Franck finds AN
harmonious, well-sounding, neatly
articulated language with g. rich
vocabulary. built up very much
like the Hungarian and Finnish
idioms."
Lingala Is much easier for the
natives to learn than any Of the
European tongues, and the time
Ia not far distant when it will be
the negro idiom OF the entire
African continent. This will even
tua1ly mean rich old folklore,
hero legends, myths, fables and
epic songs handed down by Lin
gala instead of orally.

He bowed gravely to the party, and
with compressed lips sat down beside
the middle-aged woman Obviously she
did not know what to say to RoStov,
and he was equally mute. Then the
orchestra struck up, and having got to

Almost she looked shocked.

He raised his eyebrows CALAMITY over

girls.
"Td love to. but I'm awfully shy of

They danced. Rostov was an artist,
and yet he managed to dance with an
air of polite detachment. Meanwhile
the chinleSs youth sat and despised
him. This Russian fellah-" The
chinless one could not understand how
any girl could bring herself to dance
with a hired outsider. Mrs. Evans
talked. The severe lady watched and
di%sapproved. Between his duties Ros-
tov drank tea and looked Byronic and
managed to snatch one sugary cake.
But all such afternoons come to an
end, and Mrs. De Quincy Evans party
dispersed, but she herself remained,
retaining Rostov beside her. His asso-
citation with Mrs. Evans was beginning
to cause comment, and he knew it and
was irritated by 1t, but what could he
do? Other things may have to be

so much at the mercy Of circumstance.
If only one could live on moonlight!
Also he had a feeling that he had
made a fool of himself in allowing the
cold, raw edge of his anger to show,
rather like the edge of a tattered shirt.
He had insulted Mrs. De Quincy
Evans; 1t would do him no good; 1t
might do him a great deal of harm.
Climbing the four flights of stairs. he
found the little living room in darkness.
Vera had gone to bed. But she had left

"It is"

He was shocked, frightened, touched,

a~pologized to him for fearing that she
was going to be Ill. 1t was a disas-

the bed, with her dark hair brushed
out like a halo; her eyes excused her

He bent down and kissed her.
What Is it-serious?"
He was frightened, but trying not to
look so.
"It feels like flu, Michael. These

During the week that followed, the
Cosmopolis and its various women won

He looked i'll and exhausted; he danced
like a mar who was half-asleep; he
seemed to be sitting yawns: his eyes
were frightened. The management had
to complain, for Rostov was caught
asleep in Of the lounge chairs at
S O'Clock In the afternoon when he
should have been dancing.
This won't do. my lad. What's

Rostov, startled, still half submerged,
blurted out the truth to the spruce per-

The truth was out. The confession
was overheard by four people who were

were reading novels. It spread. The

Three gentlewomen formed them

WHEN Rostov received the money his

He found some one looking at him
