Alaa! How little did aha think those
lettera were the last happy ones Audrey
would write for many a long, weary day.
Jack, too. tired out with perpetual ex
citement and worry, basked In the sun-
chine of hia glrl-wife'a love, and reveled
ia the gladness her presence gave him.
Two daya before the masked ball Sheila
and Lady Daleawater returned to Dingle
wood, and drove over to Craiglnnds to
discuss all the arrangements with the
-Glendurwoods. They found the four
young people out In the1 grounds playing
lawn tennis.'
- "I have come to ask Lady John what
aba la going to wear at the ball. Oh, I
Iknow It la a great secret, but I will be
tray It to no one," Sheila said to Jack,
'a they walked away, and then she tried
to tatch bla eye aa ahe gave a very palpa
Ible sigh.
Audrey good-naturedly offered to show
her gowa and domino to both Sheila and
Lady Daleswater. Jean Thsvslt bad been
carefully excluded from the Invitations.
"Lovely! Beautiful I Exquisite!"
cried Bheila, as Murray unfolded the
beeny aatlna and held them forth for
Inspection. "And this it your domino,
Idy John?" I
"Black and ailver. It waa Jack'a Idea.

"I wish yon would pnt It on ; I should
like to see It to much," Sheila next ob
served. Lady Daleawater had not vouchsafed
to come up and see the finery, ahe was In
ar too bad a temper.
"An artlat from London la coming
down to sketch us all. Ha arrives to
day. I think he had better begin at
nee. I wish yon would allow him to

"I shall be delighted," Audrey said,
cordially. "Shall he ome here or mutt
I go to him?"
.Sheila's cheeka were quite rosy,
' "Oh, there Is no ned to trouble you.
Just send Murray over with It. She

Audrey, only too glad to find Sheila
apeaklng so pleasantly, agreed at once,
and so, when the Dinglewood carriage
drove away, Lady John's maid rode In
It, carefully guarding the box containing
.the black and ailver domino.
Audrey meant to have told Jean about
this, but all idcaa went eut ot bar head
as the carriage disappeared, and they
rushed to finish vEelr game.
"I say, baby, here's a bore," Jack Glen-
durwood said, aa be entered Cralglands
at dinner time on the evening of Sheila's
ball. "I can't go with you te night, after
all."
"Oh, Jack !" Audrey clasped her hands

"Your dresa looks ao lovely. You

"Well." laughed Jack, kissing her. "I

least, it I cannot manage the Black

"And you me?" Audrey added. "Don't
forget to look for the black and silver,
Jack."
Dinner wat hurriedly eaten, and Jean
waa much grioved for Audrey's sake that
Lord John eould not accompany her.
After Jack hud driven away, the two
girls ineuuted up to Audrey's pretty bed
room. "You must bo my maid to night, Jean,"
he said, as they tat beforv (he tiro fur

Sheila Fraser s masked ball."
CHAPTER XXII.
A huge ballroom had been erected on
the lawn, with light, wooden walls, and
one cone shaped roof; the floor was par
quet, and at smooth aa Ice; a smart mili
tary band was to provide music; supper
was served in another temporary room,
and the drawing room, hall and conserva
tory were turned Into a lonnge and prom
enade.
Audrey felt quite bewildered as sho
found herself In this throng of variously
colored forma, all with the black lace
or allk covering over their faces. She
wished vaguely the had not come, then
that she had Jack with her, or Willie
Fullerton. Suddenly Audrey became
aware that two people were talking close
to her and that they were spenlring of
her.
"They call her a beauty 1" one womnn's
voice said. Audrey could recognize neith-
er 0f the two.

Andrey'a limbs seemed frosen, her heart
a lump of Ice. What was this she bad
heard? What ' horrible nightmare had
come over her! So this waa what was
said!
"Sheila and Jack!" Aaln and again
the phrase rang In her ears. "Sheila and
Jack!" They had always loved; they
loved now ; and she she, Audrey, the
low-born, lew-bred charity girl

Vivian Tuthlll, the Indrapura s third
