The dignified image had returned and was standing in the doorway, with his chin thrust out and his nose at a high angle with his collar. The man coughed deferentially. "If your Lordship will follow me " But at that moment he heard her calling from beneath the turret wall, "Lord Taborley!" Jumping to his feet, he hurried to the window and leant out.

The blank look of astonishment which had overspread the General's face, quickly gave way to one of generous compassion. "On my word of honor, Lord Taborley, I never knew that. I thought please forgive me that you were interfering merely out of snobbishness. I ought to have known better. All my dealings with you should have I begin to understand."

Wheels rumbled on a distant road. Again the silence was unbroken. The moonlight, falling on her face, gave to it an expression of childishness. Her breast and throat, gleaming white as marble, reminded him she was a woman. She stirred. Her eyes opened. She gazed up at him wonderingly. "I'm better. Foolish of me!" Then, inconsequently, "How tall you are, Lord Taborley!"

You and the General have been such good pals, and I have to say it, even though Lord Taborley is present: there were a great number of your friends who were rather afraid " "Then they won't have to be afraid any longer," Terry cut in with icy sweetness. "When it's reported to the General that I've told this story, he won't have to be rather afraid either. It'll set all his doubts at rest."

He was silent for a full five seconds; then he said, "Lord Taborley, you're a man of your word, but I find it difficult to believe that." Tabs' voice was both quiet and kindly when he replied, "You'll find it difficult to believe a good many things before I've ended.

Lord Taborley, I know what you came for." He had set down his cup. She covered his bronzed hands with her own passionate white ones, overwhelming him with a rush of words. "You came to accuse me, to bribe me, to buy me. You didn't want to hear me; I was already condemned. Do you think I don't know what's said about my marriages? I know too well. But it isn't vanity that makes me want to be loved.

"Before I shake hands with you, Lord Taborley, I have to know what you mean by your utmost. With so many playing-cards out against me, I don't stand the ghost of a show unless Perhaps I have no right to expect it; I never asked quarter from any man. I was going to say, unless you intend to be gallant " Tabs pocketed his hand and turned to limp into the sunlit thunder of the Strand.

Dear Lord Taborley: I have been given to understand that you are exceedingly anxious to make my acquaintance. If this is so, I shall be at home when you call to-morrow afternoon. Asking your lenience for this liberty, I remain, Yours very truly, Maisie P. Lockwood. "To-morrow afternoon! Written yesterday! That means the afternoon of to-day. And why the P Maisie P. Lockwood?

"But we're always going to be friends. I shall be always coming back to you." "Men don't come back, Lord Taborley. A man of your temperament is least likely to come back. You press forward. You're eager. Wherever you go you form new affections. I'm not like that. I'm cold. You don't think so, but then I'm treating you as I never treated any other man.

But then Reggie," she caught her breath at the remembered ecstasy, "Reggie used to think that the sun rose and set for me. He was different from all other men. You advise me to reserve myself for the best. How can I do that, Lord Taborley, when the best is in the past?" She was very beautiful in the simplicity of her pathos one of the most beautiful women he had ever met.
