I can't believe that Father is dead. I always think of him as being alive, and that some day I shall see him." "I hope with all my heart that you will," said Miss Jenny Ann fervently.

"I shall go to see Mrs.
"Not on the terrace," he said, quickly, for he could not bear to meet the sweet ghost of the past in the white dress and ermine stole, as he gave advice to the flesh and blood reality of the present, in the pink frock and roses. "What about Ciro's? Couldn't we find your mother somewhere, and get her to chaperon us for lunch? I should think it must be very jolly now, in the Galerie Charles Trois."
The Chaperon suggested that, after all, it was nothing but sawdust, and probably she was right; nevertheless each little cubicle in the long row, with its curtained window and blue-white wall, looked pretty enough for a fastidious human being.

While I was debating whether or no the last speech called for an answer, the R. D. had a sudden thought which gave him an excuse to change the subject. "Where's your chaperon?" he snapped, with a flash of the eye, which was his first betrayal of the hidden devil within him.

"Oh, Lord," Van Degen groaned, dropping down on the end of the sofa. "Was the cook got down to chaperon you?" Undine laughed. "You talk like Ralph! I had Bertha with me." "BERTHA!" His tone of contempt surprised her. She had supposed that Mrs. Shallum's presence had made the visit perfectly correct. "You went without knowing his parents, and without their inviting you?
