woman's dissimulation. And he had
gone to Flora Desimone’s.
The carriage stopped before a hand
some apartment house in the Avenue
de Wagram. The unknown got out,
gave the driver his fare, and rang the
concierge's bell. The sleepy guardian
opened the door, touched his gold-
braided cap in recognition, and led the
way to the small electric lift. The
young woman entered and familiarly
pushed the button. The apartment in
which she lived was on the second
floor; and there was luxury every
where, but luxury subdued and
charmed by taste.
She threw aside her hat and wraps
with that manner of inconsequence
which distinguishes the artistic tem
perament from the thrifty one, and
passed on into the cozy dining room.
The maid had arranged some sand
wiches and a bottle of light wine. She
ate and drank, while intermittent
smiles played across her merry face.
Having satisfied her hunger, she
opened her purse and extracted the
banknote. She smoothed it out and
laughed aloud.
"Oh, if only he had taken me for a
ride in the taxicab!” She bubbled
again with merriment.
Suddenly she sprang up, as If in

a study. She came back with pen and
ink, and with a celerity that came of
long practice, drew five straight lines
across the faint violet face of the bank
note. Within these lines she made lit
tle dots at the top and bottom of
stubby perpendicular strokes, and
strange interlineal hieroglyphics, and
sweeping curvee, all of which would
have puzzled an Egyptologist If he
were unused to the ways of musicians.
Carefully she dried the composition,
and then put the note away. Some
day she would confound him by re
turning it.
A little later her fingers were mov
ing softly over the piano keys; melo
dies in minor, sad and haunting and
elusive, melodies that had never been
put on paper and would always be her
own; in them she might leap from
comedy to tragedy, from laughter to
tears, and only she would know. The
midnight adventure was forgotten, and
the hero of it, too. With her eyes
closed and her lithe body swaying
gently, she let the old weary pain in
her heart take hold again.
