Twining learned of the engagement of Ankony and Barbara. Hs congratulated both. 1 wag shown into the Bouth drawing room to wait for Barbara; I .have been shown into the south drawing room to wait for her a hundred times, and I had always before found it a pleas ant, inviting place; but 1 got no lur ther than the threshold this evening: the change in it was amazing. The )rodigality of light struck; me first, and then Its gala-air; it was as if It, too, were receiving congratulations in its best clothes along with its mis tress. There were flowers every where. I am fond of all Mowers but those taken by another man to the girl I love. Ankony's flowers overran the south drawing room; they were on the three-cornered piano that had belonged to Barbara's mother, on the quaint cabinet with ornioiu mounts and parquetry paneling thai had been her great-grandmother s, on her grand mother's mahogany tablo, and on man tels and shelves and caaes. Their fragrance met ma at the threstiold and stopped me there as if it had been funeral fragrance. With a shiver I crossed quickly to the library. There was no light there but a dim firelight. The library, evidently, was not receiving congratulations, and 1 entered with a sigh of thankfulness for something unchanged, when, mock ery of mockeries, just as I was throw ing myself down to wait for Barbara 1 discovered a great bowl of Soliel d'Or rosea glowing in the middle ot the table. The Forlorn Hope bad of fered lta tribute of American Beau ties and Jacqueminots and Marecha. Nells to Barbara, but it had always been my privilege to take her the splendid Sollnl d'ür. I stood lor a luluute looking at theae upon tut table, then I picked up the big crystal bowl and carried it across to the drawing room, where i set It down not too gently. Presently I heard Barbara's step in the hull. It sounded a little languid, I thought. "1 am here," I said, from the 11 brary. "What are you doing there in the dark!" ' i like the dark and the library." "How capricious you are! I nevei knew you to watt here before." 1 made no reply, l.t 1 stirred the fire in the hope that she would not ring for lights. "1 am tired," she said, as she sank Into a chair I drew for her. "Pleasantly?" i Inquired with sym pathy. "No, downrlghtly. People have been coming for days to say nice things to me. 1 suppose 1 ought to be glad." "Oh, I don't know. Nice things can become awfully tiresome." She nodded wearily. "I promise in the beginning to say nothing nice whatever," I hastened to assure her. She smiled a little. . "You rarely do," she observed; "but I think I shall rather like it to night. I've about exhausted all my replies. You've no idea how quickly you run out of replies to the sort of amiable platitudes that have been showered on me lately." "I. dare say. You know I've never experienced anything like it. People make j-hrases, and you malta phrases back at them. Is that it? But you wouldn't make them for me, I am sure." "No, I think I shouldn't consider ll worth while." "It wouldn't be good for you If I caught you at it." "1 hat's the real cleverness," sin rruispd, "to make a catchword sounc pristine in Its freshness. A lot o: women 1 know can do it. I never iculd. It's art, or " To you rememoer the story of the fairy godmother who put pearls In stead the words In the mouth of one of her godchildren?" I asked. "If these were Btlll the blessed days of fairies, I know a lot of good folks who would ask for catchwords, don't you?" . - She laughed softly. "Instead of brains," she laid. "They would be so much easier managed." "Exactly!" , We laughed again. For a moment 1 think we forgot. We were so ac customed to being gay. "You are very amiable to-night," she remarked after a moment. "It's so nice to And you. that way. You are not always o, you know. For In flante " "You mistake,'' I Interrupted; "I'm sot amiable at all to-night. I am ex ceedingly out of sorts. I have lost something, and I don't like losing thlutrs; it makes me cross." "Careless people alwayB loso things," said she severely; "I always SllAZJE!D y ALMA MARTIN ZJTABRCOKs "7 VTV COOJIN .V . Í rCQTT CO tutu yuu now careless you were. "I'm afraid you were right," I ad mitted; "but I didn't mean to be." "Oh, one never means to be, ' of course. Don't urge that as an ex cuse." "The fault is not all mine," I ex tenuated. She laughed. "Whom are you trying to put It on?" she asked. But I did not reply, and presently she Inquired more kindly: "Was what you lost of much value?" VDí the greatest value." "Pshaw! that's too bad. Have you tried to recover it?" And now a friendly interest warmed her tones. "It's no use," said I hopelessly. "But I should think you'd try, at least," she urged. I looked at her speculatively. "I wish I dared," I sighed. "How queer! Why don't you dare?" "There are several reasons." She faced me accusingly. "Are you talking In epigram?" she suddenly demanded. "You know how 1 hate it." "Not at all," I protested; "but, you see, this didn't really belong to me. I never possessed it. I hoped that some day it would be mine, and now I have lost the hope of it. Do you see what I mean?" She put her chin in her palm and stared into the fire. "That is so different so altogether different," she said. "But quite as hard to bear," I In sisted. "It is no easier to lose the hope of ft thing than to lose the thing itself." "Perhaps not," she admitted, thoughtfully; "but we have all had a great many losseB of that kind." "I never had a loss like this," I re plied seriously, and I arose to punch the fire and change the subject. Barbara, however, was both sympa thetic and interested, and also, I think, she considered this a sale and comfortable topic and she wished to avoid others that might not prove so. So she said: "I can't see why you have given up all hope of getting this thing that you want. You say you dare not make an other try at it. But 1 don't under stand. Is It some sort of a chairman ship, and has it been given to some one else?" "It is not a chairmanship," I an swered her; "but, yes, it has been given to some one e'ue." , "Quite Irrevocably?" "I am afraid so." "I'm so sorry lor you." "Thank you. 1 need your sym pathy." i "Then it meant a great deal to you?" She turned In her chair quite sud denly and looked at me, the question In her eyes. At the moment the fire began to flame and crackle, falling iull on my unwilling lace, and her eyes, meeting mine, comprehended in spite of me, wavered, and dropped. "Oh!" she breathed very soitly, "oh, why did you did you do it?" "He isn't much of a iülq who goes about whimpering, is he?" I asked, trying to smile but making a dismal (allure of it. "If the fire had only mo'.ldered a minute longer you need never have known. DouX remember it, and don't let it make any difference in your your happiness." "Don't!" she cried. She put her face down on the arm of the chair and ,eft it there a minute, while 1 stood looking helplessly down at her. Pres ently she lifted her head and looked at me with eyes filled with scorn. "I hate myself when I think of what you must think of me," she flushed. "Can you think one kindly thing?" "Not one," said I, "but a thousand." Her smile wavered through tears, and she put out her hand to me. She ought not It was a dangerous mo ment: there are times when ti.e hard est thing in the world Is to take the hand of the woman you love. But she didn't know it, and I took It. "Then you won't you won't- oh, will you " she cried chaotically. "I won't," I declared. "It's all right. Why, Barbara, bless you, you knew that, didn't you?" She nodded slowly. "Of course there never was oh, why do you make me say such things? there never wag anything anything be tween us, Mr. Twining. You don't care for me, really, I am sure. You never told me se, and " "No, I never told you so," I re peated. "I was waiting " "Don't," she begged. "Hut, you see, I djdn't know. And, oh, it couldn't have" I stooped and touched her hair with my lips. "Never mind," said I; "tell me about who has been to see you. I want tc Vnow everything, you know." 81ie lifted me a grateful glance. "Mrs. Tyson Potter vu here," she said, and a new, slinging smile ouched her lips. "She came to ay pleasantly unpleasant things. She told me quite frankly that It was a wise thing for a poor girl like me to marry rich. You wouldn't " "I am not a Mrs. Tyson Potter. The old heathen!" Barbara flashed me a smile. "But it's rather the natural thing for people te say of such an en?as - j ment." she protested s moment Utnr "ou Know Jt Is." "Nonsense! It Isn't. And what do you care what they gay? Was there ever a betrothal that was not the signal-gun for a perfect volley of siliy chatter?" She smoothed a crumpled frill of lace. - "Miss Wlnstanley has not been here," she said significantly. "She's not in town. She left the day before your engagement was an nounced. Diün't you know?" "No. Ob, I'm so g!ad. I thought she disapproved. And I'm so very fond of her I couldn't bear" "Nothing of the sort. She'll WTlte you the minute she hears, of course. She tins gone off somewhere with a sick friend and probably hasn't heard the news yet." "How comforting you are! It's such a relief to hear it. couldn't bear to feel estranged from her. The bishop was very kind. He sent me those beautiful roses there." "Where?" questioned I eagerly. "There on the table. Wasn't It odd he should have chosen Solell d'Or beauties? Why, where are they?" she asked, as she turned to look at thera, and so to avoid looking at me. "They are In the south drawing room," I replied gravely; "I'll go and get them." I caught the glimmer In her eyes as I passed her. When I came back she was stoop lug so I could not see her face, but sTie spoke softly, "I have aslted Mr. Ankony always to send me the paler roses." I was the point beyond which I could not keep my head, nor my Hps. "Barbara!" I cried out foolishly. "You know how I dislike remind ers," she said quietly. "And ours has been a pleasant. friendship." I had got hold of myself again. "What did the bishop write you?" I asked. "Oh, a charming little note. He said the most beautiful th.'ngs in It." "It Is a part of his mission to say beautiful things." "And how well he fills It! He Is such a dear." "So Mrs. Ankony says," I remarked. "Mrs. Ankony?" "Mrs. Jack when he rides In the park with Miss Streoter." "Oh," and she smiled politely. How many women smile politely when their husband's relatives are men tioned! "She is going to give a dlnr.er for me next week; I hope you are com ing," she said. 'No, I bad thought I would not." 'Oh, perhaps you don't like her. Is that it?" 'Not at all. I was thinking entirely of myself." She looked away, blushing daintily. "I wish you wouldn't," she protested. "About the dinner; you mustn't come If you don't want to. of course." "I suppose I may as well get used to it." I observed ninre philosophical ly than I felt. "I can't wipe myself out entirely, you know. And you wouldn't want me to, I'm sure." She did not answer. Sighing gently. she leaned back in the battered old chair that had been her father's fa vorite. She looked slender and child- "I Hate Myself When I Think of What You Must Think of Me," She Flashed. Ish and dear in that chair, and the firelight was exquisite cm her hands and gown and hair, but I thought hur pale, even beneath its faintly ruddy glow. "I suppose you will go to the Cana dian Rockies for your bridal trip?" i suggested presently. "No, no!" she cried sharply. "You always said you would like that, you know." "I have changed my mind." I fingered an old Spanish cooking pot of copper that stood on the tnbie between us. That old Spanish cooking-pot! How many times. In crucial moments, we have bent to examine It, Barbara and I. - There is not a scratch or dent on its polished surface that 1 ennnot see with my eyes shut. "There Is something I want you to understand," I said slowly, "and then we won't talk any more about it." "Ye es?" she encouraged, rather doubtfully. "It is only that, no matter what conies, you are to remember that i have not changed." She put her hand to her thioat with a gesture new to me, and full of pain, "Why will you?" she pleaded. "Don't, please don't)" "I don't want to hurt you, dear. Tt can't matter to you one way or tie Qther now. And you are to under stand that I don't blame you one bit. Jove! how could T?
