CHAPTER XXXI.
With the serving of the supper
the ball had reached its height. At
the telephone, a reporter was send
ing in the last details before the
closing of the presses. Detectives
wandered among the guests, watch
ing, the imported servants. In a
corner of the struggling dining
room a knot of reporters, in domi
noes provided by Steingall, copi
ously fed under tlie direction of the
head caterer, passed the mighty in
review, detailing anecdotes 'from
their secret knowledge.
)'Must be $1,000,000,000 worth of
jewels here."
"Nearer two."
"Say, Bill, get the name of the
foreign gink who came with the
Gunthers? What is he, Portuguee
or Wop?"
"Mrs. Reggie's gone off badly this
sason."
"Grub's all right."
"Who's the sporty girl in red?"
"Mrs. Tontee, divorced Jack Al
bright last winter remember the
ftory down in Palm Beach?"
Ihe speaker, a short, balmsh, old-
young man left the group and bore
down on the lady in question.
How do, Mrs. lontecr - Would
ypu mind giving me some details
about the costume you're wearing
tonight?"
"Oh, do you really want to write
something about me?" she said,
shaking hands cordially. "The dress
is nice, isn't it? It's genuine, too
worn by the Comtesse de Vnlly.
Came down" in my husband s tam-
ilv."
"Which husband?" asked the irre
pressible spirit of the American
press.
Well say notliing about tnat,
said Mrs. Tontee, much amused. She
wasted no pretenses on the gentle
men of the fourth estate, knowing
them of old. "I don't suppose you'd
want photographs, but if you do,
SandersoiY & Sanderson have-taken
some beautiful ones."
"What's the foreign feller with
the Gunthers?" s
Mrs. Tontee gave the retmired in
formation sweetly, and volunteered
several bits of useful details.
"Much obliged," said the reporter.
"Anything you'd like mentioned?"
"No-o. I'm giving a rather im
portant dinner. Call me up next
week, in the morning there might
be something.
Irma 'Dcllalarre passed on the
arm of Jap I.aracy, in search of her
hsuband, a little apprehensive.
"I think he's in the smoking
room.
i "Go and see. like a dear'bov."
Laracy having located Rudolph,
returned.
"Is he enjoying himself?"
'He's all right," said Laracy, who
comorehended the Question.
"Anyhow," thought Irma, glanc
ing round the dining room, what
ever happens, he won't be con
spicuous." "Say, Irma, I'll keep an eye on
him," said Laracy. "Leave him to
me; I'll get him home at the right
time."
"Thank you, Jap," said Irma, with
a soft glance. "And now run along
and dance with some pretty girl."
Monte Bracki and Amy passed
her, entering the ballroom, so en
grossed in each other that they did
not perceive her. There was. a
light in Bracken's eyes she knew
a certain way. too, of holding his
head as though bending forward, in
accentuated deference. She knew
she was no longer in love with him,
and yet the spectacle of his awaken
ing interest in anther woman
wounded her, bringing back disturb
ing memories. That this wojnan
should be her close fritnd was par
ticularly hard to heart At that mo
ment, happening to loolc up to the
little balcony, she saw Andrew For
rester gazing down. She thought a
moment and then went up. So en
grossed was he in his own mood
that it was not until she touched
his arm that he noticed her coming.
'This is nice ofryou, he said
cratefullv. brightening up.
How does it teel to be the hus
band of a great beauty?"
He smiled grimly. A moment be
fore, looking down on the fairy
panorama, he had been thinning
that, in one night, he had thrown
into the air what it had cost him to
live two years as a bachelor. "
Wonderful scene exquisite in
every detain She said, looKing
down. "You ve justified your mot
to."
"What's that?"
"Han? the expense!"
"Oh I'd forgotten 1" he said,
with a bitter smile.
Now,xas Kitty says, they 11 have
chairre to feel natural," she con
tinued, with a gesture, toward the
dancers, who were swinging into
the lively measures of an ultra-mod
ern dance, imported from the pur
lieus of the Barbary Coast. v
Ihe evening, which had begun in
the decorum that had descended out
of the stately past, burst into the
riot of modern America.
"Yes; now they are more natural,
aid Irma, smiling. "We are not so
far removed irom the Zulus, alter
all, are we? And listen to the
savagery of the music we dance to,"
she added, as at that moment the
orchestra burst into a jumble of ex
plosive chords, accompanied by
every noise-provoking device of
sandshufflers, cowbells, clashing
cymbals and drum-pounding, which,
at that time, was considered the
harmony of sweet rhythms. "Could
Zulu make night more hideous or
dance more grotesquely? After all,
were only a generation irom the
mining camp." '
It is nerve-shattering, Andrew
said, laughing for the first time.
But you aren t dancing?
She shook her head..
"I am too fastidious, perhaps."
she said daintily, "but I prefer the
old conception of woman to the
catch-as-catch-can familarity. I be
lieve in maintaining the preciousness
of oneself. I don't enjoy being
pawed and mauled."
Ihe idea was new to him. He
considered it, v comprehending in
stantly.
You are right, he said, looking
t her. Her personality at that mo
ment enveloped him agreeably, like
delicious perlume. But not many
omen would agree."
"How many of them are women?"
she said, looking gently into his
eyes with a glance that was all femi
nine. The gray, transparent eyes in
the brown oval reflected the smiling
j seduction of ner lips. Me saw and

throat and the long, graceful fingers
closed over her fan.
"What a woman she is!" he
thought; but recalled to gloomy
thoughts, he said.
'Whose fault is it? Ours?"
She nodded, and, to meet the new
interest in his eyes, offered her pro
file, extending her graceful arms
with a slow release .of the fan
which laid the nodding white plumes
against the warm span.sii tints ot
her throat.
So, Amy has been talking to
you?" he said abruptly. "Do you
blame rrte?" t
She turned, kindness in her eyes.
If there was one thing she adojed,
it was for Other women's husbands
to spread their confidences before
her.
"Of course I don't I u derstand
things she can't." Theie was no
malice in her nature, and, on account
of her instinct of ccquetty, she was
surer and more dangerous, lour
wife is very young, Andrew."
"That is true," he said gravely.
She laid her hand lightly on his
arm, a passing toych. "I'm sorry,
Andrew."
"She can understand," he thought
bitterly. He looked down on the rql
licking pagans below, who laughed,
danced, and made merry about his
brilliant wife, and troubled them
selves not at all a"bout him in his is
olation. I . -
J. here s one thing 1 must say,
she said, for thejook of pain on his
forehead stirred a genuine sympathy
"You give too much importance to
a boy like Tody Dawson He is
harmless." ,
"'Harmless'? Js. he?" he took up
moodily. "Oh. in a sen--e, yes. In
another, no. It's his kind that have
surrounded her that have corrupted
her. It's this empty, pleasure-seeking
life, restlesis, always cn the-go,
always wanting to be a.nused m
some new way. It's he habits of ex
citement such young cubs give wom
enthat starts all the hstm!"
Yes; what you say is true, she
said gravely, and she was so im
pressed that she nodded twice.
"It's not a question of him," he
said hastily. "It's a question of my
dignity; and a man's sense of his
own dignity is something he holds
to!"
"You must make her understand,"
she said gently.
He hrugged his shoulders.
"That's only a little of it!" Then
he looked at her, moved to confi
dences. "It's queer, but it was iiist
the accident of our visit to Chilton
changed my life."
"How so?"
"It did. he repeated, noddine his
head. It showed me what money
could do. It was a revelation. I want
ed what you had. He stopped,
trowned, and, tor a moment, plunged
into the past.
Don t say anything it it is
hard, she said, as he remained
silent. j
"I admired you," '.ie said, as
though he had not heard her. "Your
taste, the quiet, the real elegance of
your home, the ofder in the house
hold, the way yOur children were
brought up. I wanted a home lik:
yours, I wanted her to l.clike you."
She was immensely flattered, 'for
she adored to be told that she was
a good housekeeper, and a perfect
mother. She was so grateful that he
appreciated these qualities that, in
the genuine liking she felt for him,
she determined to try and help him.
"Do you realize how young sTie
is?" she asked. "Is n't this a little
your fault, too? You needed a wom
an to understand you and help you,
and you chose a child.
"A good deal my fault yes." he
said loyally. "I know nothing about
women, v ve never naa tlie time to
stuuy mem. a cleverer man, 1 sup
pose, wouldn't have made the mis
take I've made. Now the mischief's
done."
''Are you sure?"
Hcfriodded.
"She's out of my hand now. Oh.
we'll go on other marriages go on.
But He shrugged his shoulders
M.
and glanced down at his hands which
lay locked on the balustrade. Well
I've readjusted myself; 'hat's over."
"I don't think she realizes this,"
she said slowlv.
"No;-probably not. She will."
He paused, and then said emphat
ically: lhe trouble is, women don t
realize what's important in mar
riage. We are the ones who fight
the battle. We are the same ones who
build. Do anything else, but don't
interfere with that"
As he said this, his voice became
hard and his face set in sternness.
She comprehended in a flash the
lack of compromise in his charac
ter, and what he must have suffered
to come where he had come.
"What a fiitvl" she said, lookine I
at him. "And a woman could do so
much for you!" w
"The right woman, vest" he said
abruptly. "You won't think I'm try
ing to pay you only a compliment
But if I had you for a wife G004
Lord, how much I could do!
It was not a declaration; it was
more an appreciation, and it stir
red her and lifted her to spiritual
satistaction as nothing naa ever
done before.
iKt pity is, it s all so much a
question of accident," she said med
itatively,
"You turn to the right instead
of the left at one certain moment,'
he said, nodding, "and your whole
liie hangs on it.
"I wish I could help you," she
said impulsively, looking away from
him.
"You have."
"I'm afraid you" idealize me."
He shook his head obstinately.
"Not you!"

her eyes far away. The rtrains of a
languid waltz floated ai-out them,
and tlie firefly glow of the mellow
lights among the swimming Colors
below awoke daiigerous moods. '
He frowned, and a picture of Ru
dolph Dellabarre's watery little eyes
and calculated steps retiring into
the library for the night came to his
eyes.
"Good heavens, ivou!" he said
hastily. "I forgot."
She drew back, wondering herself
at the impulse which had led he
to match confidence for confidence
glancing around uneasily, fearing
eavesdroppers.
T wish I could help you," sh
said. A man like you, a man who
really counts, needs strength."
He looked at her, his eyes dec
into hers.
"What a pityl" he said abruptly.
' 'It's all a question of accident,1
she said again pensively. "The right
person comes at the wrorlg moment,
as you say. I m sorry Anf.rew.
' She nodded and left him. Pres
entry he saw her below, stopping
to greet some one. lie liked the
straight, graceful carriage of the
body, and the dignity with which
sne ottered- her hand. Ihere was
quiet, a gentleness about her and
she had a mind. Curious thoughts
came to him as he followed her
movements through the cav crowd

riotous with the gaiety of succeed

laughter rose in shriller note. Per
haps if he had been happy his only
emotion would have been ot pride
but sorrow had touched him with its

that other crowd in which he had
