Vance gave a swift glance across the table and, rising, went to the front window, where he stood, his back to the room. So unaeeountcb!e was his hasty departure that I turned and watched him wonderingly. Al- most at the same moment the edge of the table was thrust violently against my side, and simultaneously there! came a crash of glassware. I Mo Vance, as if to hide his confusion, raised his wine to his lips. It was a highly unpleasant moment: every one's nerves were on edge; and, in automatic imitation " his action, we lifted our glasses too.

A red flush of angry indignation mounted to Markham's cheeks; and for myself I must say that, familiar as I was with Vmce’s idiosyncrasies and intellectual passion for rare an- tiques, I had never before known him to cxhibd such indefensible bad taste. It Boomer unbelievable that he wou'd hav let himself be distracted by an 1m.iatulitt in such a tragic hour. "A Cellini plaque!" he exclaimed. "The Nymph of Fontainebleau!
