"No one has told mo'of'you, for that matter," he apologised, thrilling with a delight such as he had never "known before. "Would you mind whispering to me Just who you are?

' "Ton see,' we got to the station quite a bit ahead of Edith. That's how you happened to miss meeting us. We saw you there, however. 1 recognised you by joai clothes. Too seemed very un happy.

"Wall, you see, you didn't catch a t?Hmpse of me until after you were married," she railed. "I was in the Sa cred Heart convent, you remember.' 'Ah, that explains the oversight.

"Please don't.forget-hat I am doing this for my .sister, not for myself by any maimer of means, she said stiffly. He flushed paiafuHy, conscious of the rebuke. -: ." "Please overtook my faults for the time being," he said. , 'ail do better. Ton see, I've -been rattier overcome by the sense of my own- Importance. I'm not ased to being the head, of an es tablishment. Tt baa dazed me. A great many things haw happened to me since I left the Gare de TEst last night.". He was considerate in not re ferring to bis unhappy mode of trav eling. '"For Instance, I've completely lost my head." He might bare said that, but that would- have sounded com monplace and earthy. - , ; "One does, you know; when he loses bis. identity,' She aid sympathetically. "Edith says you are ripping and all that sort of thing."" -she went on' hur riedly, -in perfect mimicry. "You come very highly recommended as a brother-in-law.,.;;' "Are you to be with w imtt the -end of the play?" -" ., Tes. The-Rodneys are my friends, notEHtaa.

It's odd that Medcroft didn't tell me about youps Would, youmind, advanc ing a bi. of general information about yourself and, may I. say,, about my family inr; general? it may come bandy." ... ,f. .' r c . , . - , "I feel as though I had known you for years," she said, frankly returning bis gaze. She leaned forward, her el bows on the table, her chin in her bands. "I'm merely ( Edith's sister. We live in Paris that is, father and I. Pm three years younger than Edith. Of course you know how old your wire Is, so we won't dwell upon that. You don't? Then I'd demand it of her. I haven't been in Philadelphia since I was seven, and thafs ages ago. X have no mother, and father Is off in South America on business. . So you see little sister has to tag after big Bister. Oh!? She interrupted the re cital with an abrupt change of man ner. "I'm so sorry you've finished your coffee.- Now you'll have to go. Robury always does." ' "But I haven't finished," he exclaim ed eagerly. "I'm going to have three or four more pots. You have no idea bow' "It's all right; then, she said, with ber rarest and most confident smile. "Well, Edith asked me to come to London for thje.season. The Rodneys were in Paris at the time, however, and they asked, me to Join them for a fortnight la the Tyrol. When I said that I was-off f or, a .visit'-with .the : wtth you, 1 mean they insisted that you all should come too. They are connections in a way, don't you see r So we accepted. " Andbere we are." - "You don't, by any chance, happen to be engaged to. be married, or any thing of 'that Bort?"; he ventured. "Don't crush mei ire only as a. safe guard, you know. - People may ask questions." "You are not obliged to-answer them, Boxbury," she said. , The flush had deepened In her cheek. It convinced him that she was in love and engag ed. He experienced a queer sinking of the heart. . "You can say that you don't know, if any one should be so rude as to ask." Suddenly1 she -caught ber breath and stared at him in a sort of panic. "Heavens V she whispered, the toast poised half way to ber lips, "you're not, by any chance, engaged, are you? Appalling thought!" He laughed deHghtedly. "People won't ask about me, my dear Con stance. Pm already married, you know. But if any one shouia ask you're not obliged to answer." She looked troubled and uncertain. "You may be really married, after ail," she speculated. "Who ktoows? Poor old Roxbury wouldn't have had the tact to inquire." "I'm a henpecked bachelor, behove" me."' For the next quarter of an hour they chatted in , the liveliest,, most inconse quential fashion, getting on excellent terms with each other and arriving at a fair sense of appreciation of what lay ahead of them in the shape of peril and adventure. - - ; - '- - She was the most delightful person he had ever met as well as being the most beautiful'. There was a sprightly, ever .growing air of self reliance about ber t&at charmed! "aha reassured hlml She possessed the capacity for divining the sane and the ridiculous with splen did ' discrimination. Moreover, she could jest and be serious with an im partial intelligence that gratified his vanity without in the least inspiring the. suspicion that she, was merely clev er. He became blissfully imbued with the Idea that she had surprised herself by the discovery that be was really quite attractive. In fact, he was quite sincerely . pleased with himself for which be may be' pardoned if one stops to think bow resourceful a woman of tact may be if she is very, very pretty.; And, by way of further - analogy, Brock was a thoroughly likable chap, besides being handsome and a thorough bred to the core. It's not betraying a secret to affirm, coldbloodedly, , that Miss Fowler had not allied herself with the enterprise until after she-had 'pin ned Rax bury down to facts concerning Brock's antecedents. ' She was prop erty relieved to find that he came of a fine old family and that he had led more than one cotillion in New York. He experienced a remarkable change of , front .in respect to Boxbury Med croft before the breakfast was oyer.. It may have been due to the spell of her eyes . or to the eail of her voice, but it remains an' unchallenged fact that he no. longer thought of Medcroft as a stupid bungler. Instead be had come to regard him aa a good and ir reproachable Samaritan. All of which, goes to prove that . a divinity shapes our ends, rough hew -them bow we may. . i ' i " "I'm sure we shall get on famously,' be said, as she signified ber desire to return to the compartment, "I've al ways longed for a nice, agreeable sister-in-law." - .....
