\Vell , of course , that happened
whIch a1\va's happened when old
Deelzobub gets us to lend an ear for a
moment. Livingston temporized , hes ( .
tated-and fell , The fall occurred
along in the evening and with fatal
exactness he recollected bavlng seen

and in a trice was a part of the gay
and brillIant throng.
For an hour It made hIm faIrly
dlzzr. The masllng of the women
seemed to mal\O them more au.
daclcus in the dIsplay of tholr
charms and Livingston marveled
greatly at the ingenuIty with which
they had contrIved to adopt costumes
so as to suggest to the full the grace'
ful and alluring lin'es of theIr figures.
Some of the sldrts were so high and
necls so low as to malto the mask
the most consIderable article of ap'
parel.
It was all very new and very in ,
terestlng to the northern busIness
man , with his strict trainIng and correct -
rect life and ho was deeply Interested ,
He was leanIng against a pillar watch.
Ing' the Imletdoscoplc panorama ,
when n. tall and graceful figure , in a
most alluring domino of purple slllr
of the richest texture , pausad before
hIm and saId :
"Why standest thqu all the T.Jght In
moody contemplation , oh , most som.
bre KnIght ? "
Startled , Livingston straightened
himself and glanced at hIs questioner.
Her raven hall' was caught up with
costly jOwels , her costume bespoke
a generous purse ; her domino clung
about the lines of a figure of singular
perfection ; her sllppered feet and
daintily gloved hands bespolte the
aristocrat. "Still , who Imows ? "
thought LivIngston , SummonIng hIs
wits ho replied :
"A stranger In a strange land I
must be content to gaze from afar
upon the promised land. "
"Thero are no strangers here tonIght - .

comrades and friends , De not a

With wildly beating heart LivIng ,

She gazed for nn Instant Into his' '

The two gazed searchingly at each

would allow. 110 saw the most beau.

A tIush suffused her features. In

He threw dlsel'etlon to the winds.
