Karl had been searching for her and stopped, barring her way into the ball room. "So here you are at last, Miss Elsa," he exclaimed. "Yes," Elsa replied, dropping her eyes demurely. "Why are you not in the ballroom?" . "I wanted to be aloue. If any one really wanted me he could find me." tier dejection surprised Karl. ' "You seem sad. Are you worried?" He walked toward her, and as he did so Millar emerged from his place of concealment. Karl looked at him. "Ah, now I understand," he said. "Surely you do not mean to suspect that I am the cause of Miss Eisa's un happiness." he said blandly. Karl ignored him and turned to Elsa, looking at her In frank admiration. "You are very pretty tonight," lie id, going cio.se to her. "It Is because you are yourseii a sweet, pure, natu ral girl. I like you better this way. Elsa. I could take you in my and hug you." Oh. Kuril" Elsa exclaimed, blushing and hiding her face. Millar's cynical smile overspread his face, and he turned away, well satis- fled with the progress lie was making. "Excuse me," be murmured. "I must say good evening to our hostess." And he stole ijuietly out. The two young people did not notice him. They sat down very close to each other. Karl leaniiL-r forward and look- arms i 'I iiave never been in love, although was .disappointed twice," she added gayly. " . Karl was beginning to Cnd his task difficult. Ills attention wandered to Olga. "Disappointments! Well, yes, who has not been disappointed?" Eisa observed his growing inatten tion, his efforts to concentrate bis thoughts on their talk, his futile love- making, and she turned from him cold ly. Meanwhile Millar and Olga were having a conversation In which Olga was being torn on the rack of her Jeal ous emotions- Miliar iiau Drought her into the ante room to show her Karl making love to Elsa. Every circumstance favored bis design. Olga at first was disposed to withdraw when she saw them. "Don't you think we should leave the young people together?" she said. "You are too considerate," Millar re plied cynically. "They seem to be growing fond of each other," Olga said jealously. Yes. Do you dislike it?" "No." ."Shall we leave now?" "So. I rather enjoy watching my seed bear fruit." , Olga tried to speak lightly and smile. Millar, watching her closely, saw her Hps twitch, and it was with difficulty that she eoutnVIM berrelf. "They are an interesting couple," he uaid. "Can't we discuss something besides there two?" Olga asked Impatiently. "Yes, certainly," Millar acquiesced.

"Oh, did you?" " ; "I hope yon are enjoying the danc- , ing." ! "I hate dancing, but I shall dance ev- i ery dance tonight," Elsa cried passion; J meiy. She looked angrily at Olga, who arose and moved toward her. Karl stepped between them, giving his arm to Elsa. The two walked together, leaving Olga looking helplessly Into the smiling face of Millar. 1 1 I DON'T YOU THINK WE SHOULD LEAVE TOGETHER?" THE YOUNG PEOPIJE. i "No." "Then asked. what has happened?"

"You are the one natural thing in the fetid, artificial atmosphere. Don't you feel warni?" "Yes, as if some hot breeze were blowing through this room. It stifles me." "You never spoke like that before," Karl said. His back was toward the ballroom door, and he did not see Millar usher Olga into the room. The man had brought Olga that she might witness the fulfillment of her plan and that he might triumph in her jealousy and further thwart them. Elsa saw them come in and seat themselves across the Catarrh Sufferers are Nothing But Hawking, Spitting and Blowing Machines, Says an Authority.

"With whom did you make such wager?" she asked. "With Karl," Millar answered quick "Karl. And what did he say?" Olga cried, almost rising from her seat. "I must not tell you now. It might hurt you." "uu, no; it won t, riease tell mc now," Olga pleaded, leaning over the table toward him. Millar, too, leaned forward, his face almost touching her white shoulder, bis hand touching hers as it rested on the table. It was thus Karl saw them with one of those furtive glances, and the glist froze. the pretty speech be was trying to lnake to Elsa.
