Copyright 1892 by'^and.msnally b co. 1 Pwiaa Aasn^j CHAPTER Till.—(Continued.) "I hare polked and jigged in my time,” quoth the Ancient Mariner, briskly rubbing his hands together at the reminiscence. “I recall plainly the time when I was stationed off Barcelona on board the Centaur, with your father Admiral Jack, and we all went to a carnival ball.” Here he glanced in the direction of a certain pair of little feet, encased in black satin slippers, as if directing the at tention of the younger man to the delicate proportions of ankle and arched instep. A rustling movement of dresses be came audible beyond the miniature forest of plants. "'Who is this girl?” questioned a voice. “She is a bold creature, certainly,” added a second speaker. “Lieut. Curzon founi her somewhere about the Port, I fancy, for the part of the Phoenician,” explained the silvery tones of Diana, lowered to a discreet murmur. “She is not at all the type. My laundress is much nearer the Ori ental or African original. We had so little time to look about for a really good one.” “Oh!” “How very odd!” “I am surprised at Mra Griffith, I confess ” “One should draw the line some where in these places,” supplemented Diana, smoothly. “Yes, I have been waltzing with the Grand Duke. He dances very nicely. ” Did Dolores hear this conversation which was so audible to her compan ions? Did the Swallow Waltz still pulse through her whole being, ex cluding other sound ? She took a step forward, and, at the moment, a bell tinkled in the adjoining street. She dropped on her knees and bowed her head. The sound of the bell marked the passage of the Host through the town, carried by a parish priest to the dy ing. The group of ladies on the other side of the screen of palms might have found the movement highly theatrical. Capt Fillingham exchanged a glance with Lieut Curzon. “Yes, poor girl!” murmured the Ancient Mariner. “The women are sure to be against her. She is far too prbtty!” The note of the bell died away in the distance. m The weather had changed. The night was dark. Storms seemed to brood over the wild and boisterous sea, the wind moaned fitfully through the trees, lightning quivered and flashed, now on the horizon, as if forming a part of Etna’s bursting flame, and again defining somber masses of cloud overhead. Dolores rose to her feet Gen. Grif fith, guided by the ubiquitous Capt Blake, sought the girl to present to her partner for the quadrille. “I am ready,” said Dolores, quickly. “That eharming child makes me feel young again,” said Capt Fillingham to Arthur Curzon. “What an ankle— eh? A man might be pardoned for committing some follies on her ac count” He chuckled silently at some amus ing recollection, until a purple glow overspread his face and neck. “When 1 was second lieutenant out at Buenos Ayres I fell in love with a pretty Spanish girl, and persuaded her to run away with me,” he continued, after a pause. “We eloped to a coun try house in the interior, as a first step toward matrimony, but another fel low was after her. The irate parents and injured suitor followed closely on our heels, and we were brought back by the ear. Small blame to my beauty for preferring a fresh, young English man to a mud-colored native. ” “Then you lost her?” said Lieut. Curzon, interested in spite of himself, while his gaze followed Dolores “It seems she was an heiress I did not know it. Not that I cared a straw. The lover challenged me, and I pinked him with a rusty horse pistol just be fore we set sail for Demerara.” “My cousin is beckoning to me,” said the lieutenant, crossing the ball room. “Like his father, Admiral Jack,” mused the Ancient Mariner. “He will run the gantlet of the women's tongues by dancing with that foreign girl all the evening, if only to defy them, and in the fear that she might have overheard their spiteful com ments and backbiting. They will be furious, of course. There’s not one of them can hold a candle to the Spaniard for beauty, unfortunately. Bless me! we can only be young ones ” Here Mrs. Fillingham bustled up tq him. She was attired in a girlish toilet of sky-blue silk, trimmed with Maltese lace, and with a liberal dis play of white shoulder and arm per < mitted by a very tight corsage. "Are you overheated, John, dear?” she In quired. "There is a most treacherous draught on this terrace.” "I do not feel the draught in the least," was his testy rejoinder. The elements of this ball in the old Maltese palace of the Knights Templar comprised the usual guests gathered together on such occasions A num ber of Maltese noblemen, officials of the government, and members of the army and navy, formed the masculine portion of the throng. The Irish lady, a recent convert to Catholicism, ardently desirous of spreading her propaganda everywhere, invited the Scotch ladv, who belonged to the Plymouth brethren, and was re puted to Invariably carry tiny, pink booklets, printed in several languages in her bag, to take tea with her on board her yacht the following after noon. Mrs b'illlngham, as a zealous member of the Primrose league, and much addicted to the wearing of Prim rose league aprons on occusiou, ate ices with a stubborn radical The colonel’s lady snubbed the major's wife, and it is to be feared that the latter retaliated by putting the cap tain’s meek, little bride in her place. Everywhere the social phases were discernible of Charles Kingsley’s tropi cal forest, in the climbing of parasi tical plants disposed to displace a neighbor by a pushing aggressiveness, and with much external affability of manner. Ivor was a sprinkling of Americans lacking', the western millionaire en route around the world, accompanied by a bevy of brisk young sons and daughters, the Blender lady from New England in search of health, or the vulgar matron of doubtful ante cedents, and much display of glittering wealth, who avoided her own people uneasily, while intent on picking up a husband for her buxom offspring among the ranks of the British officers present Mrs. Griffith, the suave hostess, in tuitively perceiving the requirements of each guest may have been a trifle puzzled when the New England lady of Puritan pedigree gave it to be dis tinctly understood that she did not know the parvenue matron. The hostess was disposed to ascribe len iently any gaucherie on the part of the latter to a transatlantic origin, ameliorated by a profound respect for English habits and customs A little flutter of curiosity pervaded these groups when Dolores was led forth by Gen. Griffith. Why had the guest of the evening chosen a quad rille to dance with so young and agile a partner? The reason was obvious, the grand duke wished to talk with the girl who had personated the Phoe nician iu the tableaux, and the quad rille afforded him all the advantages of a tete-a-tete. He was a young man like another, and he amused himself as best he could. Did he not, quiet and simple in manner, view humanity from a terrible height of royal superiority, which dwarfed all to a level of complete equality? Gentle reader, did you ever happen to pause in a Jardin d’Acclimatation to note the familiar yet miraculous sight of a mother duck seated comfortably on the ground, preening her feathers, and her ducklings, balls of yellow down scarcely emerged from the shell quitting *lier side nimbly to hop on the coping of an adjacent basin, and launch forth ,with a sudden pop, on the water, paddling boldly and grace fully in their native element? The further shore gained, the tiny atoms emerge on terra-flrma with a bright glance at the human intruder, as who should say, “You could not do as much. ” Dolores remembered the downy duckling. Guided by the music, the movement of others, the hand of her partner, she went through her first quadrille without awkward seif-con sciousness, and with the lack of ser vility perceptible in the Spaniard or the Italian. Had the grand duke re quired her to tread the stately measure of solemn saraband, punc tilious minuet or coranto with him, inseparably a sociated with the powdered wigs, diamond - shoe buckles and silver hilted swords. of the French court, Dolores would have bent and swayed to the same bewitching spell of the pastime, novel and delightful in her experience. No doubt her partner was a very great gentleman, and he was kind to notice her. Were not all the men present great gentlemen to her, beings of another world? The grand duke talked with anima mation during the changing figures, and Dolores listened dreamily, her rich color glowing, and a dewy light awakening in the depths of her eyes. A slight accident marred the dance. The prince caught the silver cord of her card, threw the fan attached to the floor, and stepped upon it. lie gathered up the broken sticks with apologies and gave them to one of his attendant gentlemen. Then he stooped over Dolores, with some ex pression of regret presumably, but she smiled and shook her head. Among the idle, curious, and deeply interested spectators of this scene, none followed the movements of the couple with the keen anxiety and un willing fascination of Arthur Curzon. Why did the royal visitor wish to dance with Dolores? -Mrs Griffith had summoned her cousin to remind him, In a reproachful undertone,’ that lie had not yet claimed the hand of Mias Ethel Syratho. ' He bowed and led the young lady to a place. If the conversation of the Vrlnce was vivacious, the speech of the neighboring couplo was dry and monosyllabic. A frozen restraint was established between the partners The lieutenant lacked the finesse, malice and self-consciousness of Capt llluUe under similar circumstances His re plies to the propitiatory remarks of MUs Syinthe were brief and ab stracted. The heroine of many ball rooms did not suffer a frown to furrow her fair countenance as she drank this bitter cup of neglect and humiliation. “Kow lor one of my waltzes” said Capt. Ulake, with empressemcnt, dart ing to the side of Dolores Hut the gallant soldier was foiled by no less a person than Jacob Dealtry in person, who appeared in the colonnade with Florio asleep in one of the capicioua pockets of his loose and shabby, coat. ‘‘How long do you expect to keep me waiting?" he inquired, peevishly, of his granddaughter. "Will your tab leaux never have finished?” “It is all my fault, Mr. Dealtry,” Lieut Curzon hastened to interpose. "I think we have finished with the tableaux, and are ready to go. Let me mind the carriage for you.” The old man glanced with his habit ual abstraction around him, and a cynical smile hovered about his with ered lips “The fool and his money are soon parted,” he muttered to himself. Lieut Curzon, with a slightly defi ant expression, took Dolores on his arm tc make her adleux to the hos tess He could have wished the girl had not beeu quite so timid and hum ble in bearing. “What did the prince say to you when he broke your fan?” he ques tioned, abruptly, as he led her away. “He wished to know where I lived.” "And you told him about the old Watch Tower.’” imperiously. The dimp.ed chin of Dolores ac quired a saucy curve. “No, I only laughed,” Then the darkness of the stormy night swallowed up this Cinderella of the ball. CHAPTER IX. A MALTESE ORANGE. ! IEUT. CURZON ’ awoke late on the morning after the a ball. H lie had slept at f the hotel, and must return to > duty on board ' ship in a few hours. He hummed a strain of the “Swallow” waltz as he dressed, and partook of breakfast. His spirits were light, although the weather was gloomy, heavy rain having fallen from midnight to dawn. The breakfast dis patched, he consulted his watch. He need not seek the port and the wait ing gig for another hour and a half. Much may be accomplished in one hour and a half. He smiled with a sense of boyish exhilaration at the prospect of a country walk, and rap idly made his way through the town. A yellow placard on a wall made him pause to read afresh the announce ment of the debut of the new singer, Signorina Giulia Melita, in the “bar ber of Seville.” “The very thing!” he exclaimed aloud. A few paces further on he met Capt Blake, carrying an enormous bouquet of fresh roses, which he was about to leave, with his card, at the door of the young prima donna. “I am quite gone on the little Yankee since the cotillion of last night,” he explained, with a sentimental expression. “She can hold her own in international chaff by the hour, you know.” Lieut Curzon glanced at the shops. No! He would not replace the fan broken by the grand duke in the quad rille. A curious and inexplicable phase of obstinacy withheld him. He bought a package of sweets instead, and took the direction of the Watch Tower. The girl Dolores was the central ob ject of his thoughts, the mental star whence diverged all rays of trivial events add evanescent emotions. She had entered in and taken possession of his heart and soul The thraldom was sweet to him, and he made no effort to resist the spell, Lovely, radiant, ca ressing Dolores! He still felt the light pressure of her supple, young body on his arm . as they circled around the ball-room together in the mazes of the Swailow waltz. His_senses were not yet free of the in toxication of the previous evening. For the rest, he was eager to behold her again, to remind her in a thousand indirect ways of his own right of pre cedence of other men in her esteem, and yet his mood was tranquil, even secure.

Truman to a St Louis repor ter. “They have a large assortment of bows and courtesies according to the age and sex of those who are thus rec ognized, but the lifting of the hat is so universal that it seems to be going all the time.
