Miss March instantly wearied of the walts, to the dismay of the youth whose arm encircled her, and who rather fancied himsblf as a dancer. She lost no btne in having herself es corted to a small conservatory, where she dismissed her partner with scant ceremony, and where, a few moments afterward, she was joined by Grl wold. Even then the debutante's unwitting tangling of the threads of Griswold's fate might not have had such upon his future if she had appro her subject with directness. Had she told Griswold at once what she had said to the detective concerning his skill as a draughtsman, the clubman's suspicions would have been aroused, and he might have taken steps that would have had a marked efect upon the development of the great Missiaon er mystery. But Dorothy was too flute tered, too prettily remorseful, to go straight to the heart of the subject, And in her Innocent endeavor to post Griswold in respect of her chat with Brits without making him think she was a gosiping little busybody, she protracted her interview with the club" man through so many dances that when It ended Griswold persuade.ldm self the morning would be ample time to do that which he felt must be done to avert the probable consequences of Dorothy's girlish frankness. His van ity again played its part, too, for when he had thanked little Miss March for what he pleased to consider her Inter est in him, and when Dorothy, having s.nally failed to Impress upon him the impersonal nature of her conscienoe stroke, found herself in a further flut ter of bewilderment, Curtis Griswold proceeded to parade her up and down the dancig floor as efeettfely ~ he bad shown of the rich and beautifual widoir in the larger btlro l tle farther up the avenue. .rwiua prided himself an his versatilltyi' r argued that t was ,as easyt frhim, as he would aa exprsed t hi club' intimates, t put a fli through her pubes" as t had been ve:.-t-se ,the fact befre the whole ba..o. that Doris Mlasseker the Undisu besauty and worshiped - 'eesm.a of , many mlnms, appareutl was an the point eof aecqit a him as her easnd matrienacl vreesa An of wa his reemta-d IS' long atay atthe mas i big Ia $bvt Dorothy to h - ebouw k-n au osable 4 w oocupie' aml hr a _ 5. tordly s i chrrl b dape o; ao j td ,hs vasteof ofurthe time at mne ihim duhb after -wwftwith Uwa Maiw aind her iaasa-. wabb ot hoss -amy -us of w bviia angt have been ma! as 'mil tq aqe > esr aord i i tf ei ar rc f o~r a n a + es o f a r s e ; acarg~ ~ ' timewo Re u n ýbe~ pe .. rastis t ithe j.{ i L: . msm dro p Mlls bgr -- ý ib t h a t h l t o --- b jii~~ .>;4 V7"~i Y k-f Y s* Oiý.
