His left hand smoothed the hair from her uplifted brow, and his kiss was just lighting upon it. The blood leaped to his face, but the next instant he sunk his free hand into his pocket and smiled. John's face was half-anger, half-anguish. "Pleasant evening," said Ravenel. "For you, sir." John bowed austerely. "I will not mar it. My business can wait."

"I I am going to the Circus in the Champs Elysees; it opens to-night, and I can't miss it." "Why not?" said Clementine, questioning him by a look that was half-anger.
