Crawley, hardly able to toelleve the

evidence of his own senses.

"Right you are!" : said, Brooke

breezily. "That's excellent.' Look after her, Crawley or, rather, I think you had better look after Crawley, Di. He wants a lot of looking after, you

i know. See you soon, old man!" he

cried, waving his band as he got into the waiting cab. "Drop me a " line

when -you get back.' The Laurels, or i the office, , or the club, will always I find me! So long! Good-bye Di! I Waterloo six-fifty, eh?" ' .

With '.that ..he '.drove off. The man

and - the . woman faced each other in

i silence for a few seconds. ; Then the woman raised her veil and drew in

! several gulDs of air. "

"What a stroke ' of luck!" gasped

Crawley. ?:- j,., .

"Luck?" The woman laughed . in

I an uncontrolled, Hysterical fashion

I "Luck, do you, call it? , In this world

I one never, ought to -expect one's deI serts. However, let us walk. We

must make the most of it."

"You are wonderful, Zoe," murmur

ed the man "wonderful."

She merely shrugged her shoulders.

"Luck," she said ironically.

For example, " there was nothing

more than the most ordinary event of

life in Noel Crawley, artist, popular

man of the world and society, walking up Bond street with Mrs. Brooke of any other woman of the same world for the matter of that on a sunny afternoon in the early Spring. Surely the most ordinary of the events of life. Neither could the most carping critic; of manners and form have seen anything but an ordinary event in life in Mr. Noel Crawley and Mrs. Godfrey Brooke taking an afternoon cup of tea a deux in the popular and overcrowded Blush Rose Tea Rooms, in that narrow and old-fashioned street of fashion. ,? " ' There was, also, nothing at all extraordinary in the fact that Sir Squire Warren and his pretty, and charming daughter were also partaking of afternoon tea two tables away from Mrs. Brooke and Noel Crawley. ' "I'm in a terrific "hurry," Crawley had told Eva Warren when she had asserted her right to his company that very afternoon. "I've got a most important appointment. I'm overdue as it is!" V ' ' 1 r '"'

The' words rose up before him like

accusing demons when he looked up

from the contemplation of -a cup . of weak tea and met her great, tearful, cornflower-blue, eyes and her sensitive

cherub lips. .' . Her face was flushed. She appeared

to be very nervous and embarrassed, bestowed a curt little nod upon him. and looked away. - Sir Squire's back was turned to him ; apparently the girl had not thought fit to mention his presence to her father. For this he could not help feeling devoutly thankful. "Who Is that girl over there?" asked Mrs. Brooke sharply. v , ;i -"What girl?" asked Crawley with a weak attempt at prevarication. - Zoe's eyes gleamed angrily, jealously..'-'' " ' ; ' "Don't try that sort of thing on me!" she said angrily. . "You know whom I mean! That pretty pink and white doll over there the girl with the blue eyes who nodded to you!" "That," said Crawley very quietly, "is Eva Warren!" To Be Continued. , mayor; kills bill

through the city council, was given an official knock-out when Mayor Bebout vetoed .it. The mayor said his objection to the ordinance was that it

The two women see each other, to Crawley's discomfiture.

If the truth were known, it would have given him a certain amount of satisfaction to think that Crawle experienced the t-ame feeling in regard to Diana as he himself, no that he might triumph as the possessor and sympathize with Crawley. How could Crawley's Eva compare with his Di? Brooke chuckled with inward satisfaction. He was the happiest man in all the wide world. From nearer topics Mrs. Brooke launched into generalities London, the coming season, fashions, theatres. She chattered on gaily and Consequentially as they stood at the corner of Bond street and Piccadilly, in the midst of the roar and rush of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, at perhaps one of the busiest spots in the great city of the empire. Brooke soon forgot all about "Circe." He would , never have thought of It had it not been for the tragic Btory of Zoe which Crawley had told him last night, for not even bis interest in Noel Crawley and bis startling, meteoric career in art would have persuaded the traveler to visit a picture gallery. On certain matters he was quite prepared to accept the dictum of specialists. He never questioned doctors or lawyers; they were to him specialists, and he paid them for their knowledge and placed Implicit faith in them. Artists came under a similar category. Great critics said Noel Crawley was a genius, and his picture marked an epoch in the history of art. He was quite prepared to agree with them, and he was" glad. He himself was a specialist. In his own line he brooked no argument or opposition. He was supreme and omnipotent, and it happened badly tq anyone who entered the lists against him. His forte was civilizing the waste parts of the earth, with a strongly marked bias in favor of annexation in tb interests of the British Empire. "Any Government is rotten," he was wont to say, "but any Government is better than no Government; and among all the rotten Governments on the face of the globe the British is the best." That was his personal argument. What he said to cannibal kings, other refractory niggers, and board meetings in the city was his business. Mrs. Brooke told Crawley of the plans Godfrey had made for a trip to .Monte Carlo, and expressed the hope that it was not too late in the year to see him there. "Of course, you must run down and ?ee us," put in Brooke. "It was at .Mont Carlo that I first met DI, wasn't it, old girl? Ah, do you remember thut day, eh? The sunset at the back

He says: . "I used Vinol for a chronic cough r.nd hard cold which it seemed impostible to get rid of. At nights 1 would cough violently so I couldn't sleep. I learned about Vinol through a friend M ho had used it at the house where I em living, and the result of its use in my case was that the hard cold was Hoon well and the chronic cough disappeared in very short order."

Crawley?" "Isn't he, though?" protested Brooke.-r'You forget, dear, that Noel's head over , heels in love himself. Where did you first meet Eva, eh, Crawley?" ,; r. "Oh, Godfrey," ' exclaimed Mrsl Brooke. "You are positively dreadful! How can you allow him to talk to you like that, Mr. Crawley?" "Oh, we are old friends, aren't we! Crawley?" laughed Brooke. "He doesn't mind! But, as I was saying" But Mrs. Brooke had no intention of letting her L 'sband say anything at all. She started off at a tangent. . And so they talked, batting the ball of conversation from one point to another, but never once allowing it to drop. "Look here," exclaimed Brooke at last, "Ave seem to be blocking the traffic! Hadn't we better make a move? That policeman has his eye on us. Come on, Di; where is your dressmaker? You'll keep that allpowerful personage waiting if you don't hurry up. By the way, what's the time?"' He looked at his watch and .started. "By Jove, I'd no idea it was so late!" Mrs. Brooke gave Crawley a furtive glance. In it, even through the thick white veil, he read a curious, inscrut

able smile of triumph. She had won her race against time. -. "I must be off!" said Brooke. "You won't think me rude, will you, Di? You understand?" "Of course I understand, dear," she answered with a beautiful smile. "It's most important business, Crawley, and I dare not miss my appointment. It's Amalgamated Rubber. And

'Landorfer has come over from Brusi sels specially. I must leave 'Circe for

another time. You don t mind, do you, Crawley?" "Not at all," answered Crawley, in the airiest of voices, though in his heart he breathed a devout prayer of thankfulness. "You'll have heaps of chances heaps! But I assure you it isn't worth your while!"

Brooke gave Crawley something

very nearly approaching to a wink. "Vulgar curiosity, old man," he said. "However Hi, taxi!" A passing taxicab drew up in answer to the stentorian summons. "Coming to the , City, Charley?" asked Brook. But before the artist could reply Mre. Brooke had playfully exclaimed : "No; since you are deserting me, Godfrey, I shall not surrender Mr.

Ijprawley. He is jusJ;..going to make

up ior ms Daa oenavior in noi coming to lunch with us, and is going to take mj to Mme. Besta's, and perhaps he will be good enough to take me into a teashop and give me some tea. 1 dearly love tea." "I shall be delighted!" exclaimed
