"It will be no more than a pleasure
to recover it .for you," he protested,
gallantly.
The stairs leading down from the
hall entrance were shrouded in dark'
Bess, the street below nearly deserted
of loiterers, although lights streamed
forth resplendently from the undraped
windows of the Occidental and the
hotel opposite. Assisted in his search
by Mrs. Guffy, the officer succeeded In
recovering the lost fan, and started to
return. Just without the hotel door,
aader the confusing shadows of the
wide porch, he'came suddenly face to
face with a young woman the unex
pected encounter a mutual and embar
rassing surprise.
CHAPTER XV.
An -Unusual Girl.
The girl was without wraps, her
dress of some light, fleecy material
fitting her slender figure exquisitely,
her head uncovered; within her eyes
Brant Imagined he could detect the
glint of tears. She spoke first, her
voice faltering slightly.
"Will you kindly permit me to
pass?" f
He 'stepped instantly to one side,
bowiag as he did so.
"I beg your pardon for such seeming
rudeness," he said, gravely. "I have
been seeking you all the evening, yet
this unexpected meeting caughUme
quite unawares."
"Ton have been seking me? That is
strange. For what reason, pray?"
To achieve what you were once
kind enough to suggest as possible
the formality of an introduction. It
would seem, however, -that fate makes
our meetings informal."
"That is your fault, not mine."
"I gladly assume all responsibility.
ANNOUNCEMENT!

Schram stock of Groceries, locat

Her face seemed to lighten, while
her lips twitched asif suppressing a
smile. "You are very forgetful. "Did I
not tell you that we Presbyterians are
never guilty of such Indiscretions?"
"I believe you did. but I doubt your
complete surrender to the creed."
"Doubt! Only our second time of
meeting and you already venture to
doubt! This can scarcely be construed
:into a compliment, I fear."
Yet to my mind It may prove the
very highest type of compliment," he
returned, reassured by her manner.
"For a certain degree of iadepeadeace
in both thought aad actloa Is highly
commendable. Indeed, I am goiag to
be bold enough to add that it was
these very attributes that awakeaed
my interest in you."
"Oh, indeed; you cause me to Mash
already. My frankness, I fear, Mds
fair to cost me all my friends, and I
may even go beyond your pardon, if
the perverse spirit, of my nature so
move me."
"The risk of such a catastrophe is
mine, and 'I would gladly dare that
much to get away from conveatloaal
-commonplace. One advantage of such
meetings as ours is aa immediate In
sight into each other's deeper aatare.
For one I shall sincerely rejoice if you
will permit the good fortune of our
chance meeting to be alone sponsor
for our future friendship. Will you
not say yes?"
She looked at him with greater
earnestness, her young face sobered
by the words spoken. Whatever else
she may have seen revealed there, the
countenance bending slightly toward
her was a serious, manly one, inspir
ing respect, awakening confidence.
"And I do agree." she said, extend
ingher hand in a girlish impulse. "It

to the darkest coraer, where only rifts

mained ia slleace, aad ha could hear
her breathing.
"Have yoa traly beea at the hall,
aha aaesttoaed, "or were you merely
ibbtag to awakea my iatereetr -
"I traly have beea," he answered,
, "aad actually have danced a measure
with the fair guest of the evening." '
"With Phoebe Speacer! Aad yet
yoa dare pretend bow to retala aa la
terest ia me? Lieut Brut, yoa mast
be a most talented deceiver, or else
the strangest person I ever met. Such
a miracle has aever occurred before!"
"Well, it has certalaly occurred
bow; BorhuB I in this aay vaia de
ceiver. . I truly met Miss Spencer. I
was the recipient of her most entranc
ing smiles; I listened to her modu
lated voice; I bore her off, a willing
captive, from a throng of despairing
admirers; I danced with her, gazing
down into her eyes, with her fluffy
hair brushing my cheek, yet resisted
all her charms and came forth think
ing only of you." 3
"Indeed? Your proof?"
He drew the white, satin fan forth
from his pocket, aad held It out to
ward her with mock humility. "This,
unbelieving princess. Dispatched by
.the fair lady in question to fetch this
bauble from the dressing-room, I for
got my urgent errand In the suddea
delight of finding you."
"The case seems fully proved," she
confessed, laughingly, "and it is sure
ly not my duty to punish the culprit.
What did you talk about? But. pshaw,
I know well enough without asking
she told you how greatly she admired
the romance of the west, aad begged
you-to call upon her with a recital of
your owa exploits. Have I not. guessed
aright?"
"Partially, at least; soma such ex
pressions were used."
"Of course, they always are. I do
not know whether they form merely a
part of her stock In trade, or are
spoken earnestly. You would laugh to
hear the tales of wild aad thrilling ad
venture which she picks up, aad actu
ally believes. That Jack Moffat pos
sesses the most marvelous imagina
tion for such things, and if I make fun
of his impossible stories she becomes
angry in an instant"
"I am afraid you do not greatly ad
mire this Miss Spencer?"
"Oh, but I do; truly I do. You must
not think me ungrateful. No one aasN
ever helped me more, and beneath
this mask of artificiality she is really
a noble-hearted woman. I dq not un
derstand the necessity for people to
lead false lives. Is it this way ia all
society eastern society, I mean? Do
men and women there continually
'scheme and flirt smile and stab, for
ever assuming parts like so many play
actors?" '
"It is far too common," he admitted,
touched by her naive questioning.
"What Js known as fashionable social
life has become an almost pitiful
sham, and you can scarcely conceive
the relief it Is to meet with one utter
ly uncontamlnated by its miserable de
ceits, its shallow make-believes. It Is
no wonder you shock the aerves of
such people; the deed ia easily accom
plished." "But I do not meaa to." Aad she
looked at him gravely, striving to
make him comprehend. '1 try so hard
to be be commonplace,-aad aad sat
isfied. Oaly there la so much that
seems silly, useless, pitifully coa
temptlble that I lose all patience.
Perhaps I need proper traiaiag la what
Miss Spencer calls refinement; but
why should I pretend to like what I
don't like, aad to believe what I don't
believe? Cannot one act a lie as well
as speak oae? And is it bo longer
right to search after the truth?"
1 have always felt it was oar daty
to discover the truth wherever possi
ble," he said, thoughtfully; "yet, I
confess, the search la not fashionable,
aor the earnest seeker popular."
A little trill of laughter flowed from
between her parted lips, but the souad
was aot altogether merry.
"Most certainly I am not They ail
scold me, aad repeat with manifest
horror the terrible things I say, being
unconscious that they are evil. Why
should I suspect thoughts that come
to me aaturaUy. I want to know, to

"Such a judgment would seem tome
narrow. I was fortunate In coming
under the influence of a broad-minded

can, aad keep your mind open toward

la all that anyone can do whose nature
will aot permitpf Mlad, unquestion

"I am so glad you have spoken la
that way," she confessed. "I shall
never feel quite so much alone In the

wrong unwomanly, I mean for ma
to question spiritual-thlags?"
"I am unable to conceive why It
should be. Surely woman ought to be
as deeply concerned la thlags spirit

"How very strange it is that we
should thus drift into such an intimate
talk at our second meetlag!" she ex
claimed. "But it seems so easy, so
natural, to converse frankly with some
people they appear to draw out all
that Is best ia one's heart Then there
are ethers who seem to parch aad

privileged to meet; but If they do, the
commingling of their minds and souls

"Oh. I am so glad if it has! I I do
