The servant, after turning up the gas, left them alone, standing on the beartbrusr opposite each other. Miss Brown, putting one neatly booted foot on the fender^ leaned against the mantel and nxed with a kind yet quizzical look at her lover. Seen by gaslight his appearance was even less exhilarating than before, in tbe dim light of the street. Always pale, bis thin face was now haggard, and showed the working agitating thought, and beneath his sparse, sandy mustache bis lips were seen to quiver.

As she looked at him the girl's inclin stion towards irony vanished. Accustomed as sbe was to her lover's so sensitiveness, and aptness for needless suffering, sbe saw that something un usual was troubling him now sosbe ut her hand on his shoulder, saying nees

It was Electra, and yet not Electra. The pose of the stately figure the turn of head and neck, the clear, r^y-white complexion, were indeeds hers but that gown—frilled, puged and set off by pale azure ribbons, these high-heeled rosetted slippers, that—ve Olympian deities, ye shades of Aristotle, of Epictetus. and Heaven knows how many more lights of philosophy and science, ancient and modern!—that fringe of soft curls about the throne of that admirable intellectno, it could not be Electra!

The sparrows are at it again. The young woman looks up, frowns, smiles and turns to look for another pebble.

It is Electra, her beauty enhanced by a look of ineflable content, surely nevor inspired by the diflerential calculus or the successful analysis of an unknown solution, unless it be one proposed by tbe great chemist—Love.

With an exclamation Basford startod forward* "Eleotra!" he passionately cried, seising both her hauus. "Electra! My own, beautiful, glorious girl!"

Surely th® suu of Asia must hayo burned its way into his veins. His thin blood was molten fire, his sharp features were aflame.

A great blush seemed to suffuse the young woman's wholo person as she tried to wriug her hands from his grasp. Her very arms glowed through their transparent covering, and she could hardly bring out the one word: "Orvilie!" "Yes'" cried Basford in an ecstasy Of excitement. "Yes, Orvilie! Come back to you to implore your mercy and forgiveness. Electra!" he went on in rapid, impassioned outpouring, "I have outlived my unreal visions. I am a mannot a dreamer, now. I made a fearful
