CHAPTER III. 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

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? You couldn't care
for me If vou ronMn't. Aytl hnnvvn
