Alari'c picked it up and glanced at it. He gave an expression of disgust and flung the card back on the saiver. “Christian Brent.” For the first time Ethei showed more than a passing gleam of inter- est. She stopped strumming the piano and stood up. very erect and very still. Mrs. Chichester rose too. ' “I can’t see any one.” she said imperatively. “Nor I." added Aiaric. \“I’m' all strung up.” He turned to Jarvis. “Tell Mr. Brent we’re very sorry, but”â€" “I’ll see him,” interrupted Ethel. al- most. animatediy. “Bring Mr. Brent here.

Alarlc started for the window lead- ing into the garden. “Jolly good of you' to let him bore you. I hate the sight of the beggar myself. Always looks to me like the firstconspirator at a play.” The door opened. and Jarvis entered and ushered in “Mr. Brent", Alaric hurried into the garden. A few words of description of Chris- tian Brent might be of Interest since he represents a type that society al- .Ways has with it. They begin by deceivmg others; they end by deceiving themselves. Christian .Brent was a dark, tense. eager, scholarly looking man of twen- ty-eight years of age. His career as a diplomatist was halted at its outset by an early marriage with the only daugho ter of a prosperous manufacturer. Brent was moderately independent in his own right. but the addition of his wife’s dowry seemed to destroy all am- bition. He no longer found interest in carrying messages to the various lega- tions or embassies of Europe or in fill- ing a routine position as some one’s secretary. From being an intensely eager man or ah'airs he drifted into a social lounger-the lapdog of the draw- ing roomâ€"where the close breath of some rare perfume meant more than the clash of interests and the conquest of a woman greater than that of a na- tlon. Just at this period Ethel Chlchester was the especial object of his adoras tion. Her beauty appealed to him. Her absolute indifference to him stung him as a lash. It seemed to he- lltfle his powers of attraction. Conse- quently he redonbled his efforts: _ Ethel showed neither like nor dislike eâ€"just a form of toleration. Brent ac: cepted this; as a dog a crumb, 1n the hope of something more substantial to follow. He had come that morn- lng with a fixed resolve. His man- ner was determined. His voice wooed as a caress. He went tenderly to Ethel the moment the door closed on Jarvis. “How are you 1’” he asked. and there was a note of subdued passiop In ‘his tone. “Fair.” replied Ethel without even looking at turn. “Where is your mother?” suggesting that much depended on the answer. “Lying down,” answered Ethel truth- fully and without any feeling.- ' “And Alene?” “In the garden.” “Then we have a moment or twoâ€" alone?” Brent put a world or mean- ing into the suggestion. “Very likely.” said Ethel. picking up a score of “Bpheme” and looking at it as if she saw it for the first time, all the while watching him through her halt closed eyes. Brent went to her. “Glad to see me?” he asked. . . “Why not?” ' , Continued next week.
