There was riot not joy, in the heart of the brilliant talker at the head of the table. He xv as talking against the sav- agery that strained so hard at its leashes. At her right sat Frederic, at her left the renowned Doctor Hodder, whose feats at the Operating table were vastly more successful than his efforts at the dinne1 table. He was a very wonderful surgeon, but equally ! famous as a bore of the first rank : Yvonne could not endure him. 1 Mrs. Desmond and Lydia were there. ‘_This was an excellent opportunity to entertain them on an occasion of 3 more or less magnitude. Frederic. deceived by his father’s sprightly mood, entered rather reck- lessly into the lively discussion. He seldom took his eyes from the face of his beautiful stepmother, and many of his remarks were uttered sotto voce for her ear alone. Suddenly James Brood called out his name in a. sharp, commanding tone. . Frederic, at the moment, engaged in a low ex- change of words with Yvonne, did not hear him. Brood spoke again, loudly, harshly. There was dead silence at the table. “We will excuse you, Frederic,” said he, a deadly calm in his voice. The puzzled expression in the young man’s face slowly gave way to a steady glare of fury. He could not trust himself to speak. “I regret exceedingly that you cannot take wine in moderation. A breath of fresh air will be of benefit “I havent drunk a. full glass of -champagne,’ begun the young man in amazed protest.

' ' ‘ Frederic came down from the Win-i (low, somewhat too swiftly for one who faced the group with a well-assumed look of mortification in his pale, twitching face.

I; ever! and, despite the fact that he k knew the girl had uttered an idle com- monplace, he was annoyed to find ‘ himself studying the features of Ma- iflde’s boy with an interest that seemed almost laughable when he con- sidered it later on. His guests found much to talk about in the room. He was soon being dragged from one object to another and ordered to reveal the history, the use and the nature of countless things that obviously were intended to be just what they seemed; such as rugs, shields, lamps, and so forth. He was ably asisted by Messrs. Riggs and Dawes, who lied prodigiously in a frenzy of rivalry. “What a perfectly delightful Bud- dha," cried Miss Janey, stopping in front of the idol. “How perfectly lovely he isâ€"or is it a she, Mr. Brood ?"
