Many other chairs were just arriving with their pretty Japanese lanterns hanging from the poles, and their bearers in their gally coloured uniforms, reshing to get first to the entrance deer, and thers deposit their dainty | burdens.

On the first landing stood a group of hosts waiting to receive their guests, and in the case of the ladies, to take them on to the cloak room. "May I have the pleasure of taking you up to the dressing-room, Misa Paget ?' isked Mr. Harwood, in his deep, pleasant voice.
Dorothy looked up smiling. "Thank you," she said, as the slipped her ittle gloved band under bis arm. "I am in good time, am I not "
"Oh yes-capital. The first valse has not begun yet. By the way, which dances are you going to be kind enough to give me 3o

Very well," Dorothy replied, vanishing foto the cloak-room, not, however, before she bed caught sight of Cap'aín Vivian's tall figure, la scarlet mesi jacket, outside the ball-room door,
He had seen her too,
"I'd be hanged if I'm going to be cut out by that fellow," he muttered exvagely under his heavy moustache. "I suppose I'm a fool, all the same, I shall ask Dorothy to-night to be my wife.

Then prudence suddenly vanliked to the four winds as Dorothy swept past him on her father's arm, looking bewitching, and charming enough to "bowl over" the strangest-minded of men, and that Geeff Vivian certainly was not,"
The men buzzed round Dorothy like a swarm of hungry mosquitoes, all begging and pleading for dances, Above them all towered Captain Vivian's handsome figure. He calmly wrote his name down several times upon her card, and then, almost before she knew what she had done, her programme w rapidly filled ap by the others.

Meantime, Vernon Harwood had also come to a decision. He determined to go that very morning and sık Captain. Paget's consent to his proposing to his daughter. The situation was becoming unbearable, and he could stand the suspense no longer; he must know his late, good, bad, or Indifferent, and at once,
It thus happened that about five minutes after Captain Vivian, with rather a baggard, shamed look upon ble handsome face, rang the door bell at Captain Paget'i bungalow, and asked to see the
young mistress, Mr. Harwood did the same thing, and engaired for Captain Paget. He was forthwith shows by the "boy" into the dining-room, where he waited in some anspense for the ap. pearance of the man whom he sincerely hoped
some day to call his father-in-law.
Dorothy, meanwhile, cosy and bright as the morning, west to meet her lover in the drawing- room. Captala Vivian was standing with his back towards her looking out of the window,
"Father is waiting to see you, Geoff," she cried gally, going up to him, " I warned him last night that he would have a visitor this morning at eleven o'clock. It was nice of you, though, jast to come and see me for a minute first. You are not dreading the interview, are you? aba added archly, slipping her hand through his arm, "You look quite pale.""
"Do I?" he asked lamely "Oh, no, the fact is, Mlas Pager, that I--I do not think there will be any need for me to see Captain Paget. I

Had the been dreaming? Was it. her mistake? No, of that she is sure." What can it all mean then? What is it he is saying, with his eyes upon the carpet as if ashamed to meet her gaze?)
I think it best to be candid, Miss Paget, and tell you that last night I-I made a mistake, I do not think, after all, that I care for you quite as I thought I did; of course, if you insist-
Dorothy drew herself up with a haughty little gesture. "I insist upon nothing, Captain Vivian, save that you leave this house as speedily as possible," she said,

Captain Vivian, only too glad of escape, did not wait to be given his congé a second time. Hastily picking up his bat and his stick he left the room without a word, without a look even at the glil whom he was treating so dishonourably,
Poor Httle Dorothy, when left alone, feit utterly crushed and humiliated. To think that she should ever be treated thus! She--the spoilt darling of her father, the pet, the belle of the colony-to be jilted in this cold-blooded fashion. Oh, it was too horrible; even now she could hardly credit that it was not all a bad dream. She felt a great lump rise in her throat, and tears welled up in her vielet eyes. What would her father say ? And suppose the story leaked out? Oh no, no, whatever happened dhaf must not.

Suddenly the door opened, and her father looked in," "Oh, here she is, Harwood," he cried heartily, "come in, come is, no doubt you'll have plenty to say to each other, ah? And now, as two's company, and three's none-specially on occasions of this sort-I may as well make myself scarce, ob }"

In fact, had it not been for his hair he would have been an indubitably colourless young man, The only thing that could be said against him was that he was not darslingly intellectual, but, then, Lard Strathcaddie himself would have acknowledged that he did not want a brilliant son. Brilliancy was contrary to the traditions of bis house and would have been regarded by his lordship as an unwarrantable Intrusion.

Smoking he abhorred, and he looked upon "weeds" and "wild cats" as synonymons terms, whilst in his opinion the main gate of Hades was equipped with a lock fitted by a form of latch-key, Right manfully did his son bear up against his petty persecations, but he was bound to break out, sooner or later, and it happened that after a peculiarly mauvais quart d'heure with his sire the young man let himself go. After the encounter the Master of Strathcaddie was scarcely master of himself.
"I must really give the gur'nor something to grumble at !" `he thought.
And then an idea came into his mind, "Why not do the thing handsomely ? De something that will not only convince the gav'nor of the puerile injustice of his persecution, but will also shock Society and shake it to fis very foundations ?"
But when he began to consider how this was to be done, he found it to be a far from easy aer. Society has grown rather placld of late; it refuses to be shocked, and its founda- tions decline to be shaken. Besides murder and

Lord Strathcaddle was starting next day to indulge la a fortnight's Highland downese in bla Highland fastness, and it was settled that, if posible, the debut should be made on the night of his return. Arrangements were easily made with the manager of the Tivilion, who was delighted with the face, and the following fört. night was one of unceasing labour.." Dean Ramsay's immortal work was ransacked for allusions to whisky, sed every other repository of Scottish humour was subjected to a similar scrutiny. Some stories were adapted, references to mothers-in-law, lodgers and the size of police men's fect being deftly woven into the old material; and the eventful sight arrived.
For obvious reasons the đèồng had not keen advertised until the morning, but there was a fail house, and one after another the Mimicking Mies, the Goddess of the Golden Globe, the Coster King and Mlis Kortis Rookwood were received with enthusiasm. Then a borst of cheerlog heralded the holsting of No. 17; a G, chord rent the air and the new "Eccentric- Comedian" appeared.
He was a success from the first. The audience yelled with delight at the quaint folds of the McHagels laitan, at the broken tophat, the finan baddock banging where the sporran abould be, and the pantomims scimitar stuck skeen-dauwise in the base. Nothing was omitted that might appeal to the prevalent idea of humour. The artiste performed delicate tollat operations with the baddock and the plaid; he tripped over an imaginary nall; ho bandied words with the conductor and requested the orchestra to "scrape that chord out again.". His very nervousness rendered his pipe-playing more mirth-provokingly melancholy, and when be crossed a claymore and an old umbrella, and began dancing round them and making as though he had cut his foot, the excitement touched balling polot.
