TIDES VAKTTJTO.
TTOIIN STEKLB waa rather lata In
I arriving at tho booso of Sir
f Obarfeo Vray la Piccadilly the
following Thursday. But near
ly orrery ono clso waa lata, and, per
feapo knowing tho fashloaablo foible,
"fee bad purposely held back to avoid
"soaking himself conspicuous by being
.pro apt.
Tbe program on tho present occasion
included a poet nnd a woman novelist.
Tho former, n preraphaellte, led his
hearers through dim mazes, Hyrcantan
icUda. The novelist, on the other
band, was direct In following her
there seemed no danger of losing tho
"way. At tho conclusion of the pro
ram proper an admirer of the poet
eked If their young hostess would
not play a certain musical something,
the theme of ono of the bard's effu
sions, and at onco Jocelyn Wray com
-plied. Lord Ronsdalo stood sedulously
aer, turning tho leaves. Steele watch
ed the deft band. It was slim, aris
tocratic and suggested possibilities In
legerdemain.
"An attractive looking palrP whis
pered a woman near John Steele to
another of her sex during a louder
Susage In the number. "Are they
I don't know, my dear. Perhaps.
She's extremely well off In this world's
Yods, and he has largo properties, but
a diminishing income." She lowered
ker rolce rather abruptly as the ca
Aence came to a pause. The music
went on again to Its appointed and
plrited climax.
"Was formerly in tho diplomatic
ami Ice, I believe," the voice also went
a; "has strong political aspirations,
aad, with a wealthy and clever wife"
"A girl might do worse. He Is both
old and capable an Ideal combination
Set a political career might become
prime minister with the prestige of
TVs family and hers to"
-Jokn Steele stirred. The whispering
ceased. My lord turned tbe last page.
-The girl rose and bent for an Instant
Iter fair head. And as Steele looked at
Iwr again there came over him this
time, it may be, not wittiout a certain
Mttemess an impression of life and
4Cs Joys springtide and sunshine,
Vrlght, remote so remote for him.
A babel of voices replaced melody.
The people got up. A number lingered.
ICany went after speaking to their
hostesses -and Sir Charles. John Steele,
at tho rear, looked at the door leading
Into tbe main hall toward tho young
girl, then stepped across the soft rugs
and spoke to her. She answered In tbe
customary manner, and others ap
proached. He was about to draw back
to leave when
"Oh, Mr. Steele," she said, "my un
4te wishes to see you beforo you go.
He was saying be bad some"
"Quito right, my dear!" And Slr
'Obarles, who bad approached, took
John Steele's arm. "Some curious old
Jaw books I picked up today at a bar
gain and want your opinion of," he
went on, leading the other into a lofty
and restful apartment adjoining tbe
Xbrary. Steele looked around him.
HU gaze brightened as it rested on
Jfce imposing and finely bound vol-
"Two brutes tllsngurlngr tlio
drawling voice of Lord llonsdnle, who
hnd nt that moment stepped lu, In
quired. "May I nsk what the talk is
about?"
Sir Charles turned. "Steelo was dif
fering from mo about a good, old hon
est English sport the ring, Its tradi
tions, its chronicles."
"Ah!" Tho speaker looked nt John
Steele. The latter was nonchalantly
regarding the pages, of n book ho yet
held.
"For my part," went on Sir Charles
in a somewhat disappointed tone, "1
am ono who views with regret the
decadence of n great national pas
time."
"Well, It's over!" tho light tones of
Jocelyn Wray Interrupted. Tho girl
stood on tho threshold, glancing gayly
from one to tho other. "Did you tell
my uncle, Mr. Steele, what you
thought of his purchase? I sec, while
on his favorite subject, ho has forgot
ten to offer you a cigar."
Sir Charles hastened to repair his
remissness.
"But how," sho went on, "did It go
tho program, I mean? Have you for
given mo yet for asking you to come.
Mr. Steele?"
"Forgiven?" he repeated. Lord
Ronsdaie's eyes narrowed ou them.
"Confess," she continued, sinking to
tho arm of a great chair, "you had
your misgivings."
He regarded the supple, slender fig
ure so airily poised. As sho bent for
ward he noticed in her hair several
flowers shaped like primroses, but light
crimson In hue. "What misgivings
was it possible to have?" he replied.
"Oh," sho replied, "the usual mas
culino ones misgivings, for example,
about stepping out of the routine,
routine that mnkes slaves of men!"
with an accent slightly mocking.
"And stepping Into what? Society
the bugbear of so many men! Poor
society! What flings it has to en
dure! By the way, did your convict
get off?"
"Get off? What"
"Tho one you represented Is that
the word? when we wero in court."
"Yes. He was acquitted."
"I am glad. Somehow you made me
feel he was innocent."
"I believed In him," said John Steele.
"And yet the evidence wa3 very
strong against him. If some one else
had appeared for him Do you think
many Innocent people have been
hanged or sent out of the country, Mr.
Steele?" Her eyes looked brighter, her
face more earnest now.
"Evidenco can play odd caprices."
"Still, your average English jury
man is to be depended on," put in
Lord Ronsdalo quickly.

tones, "some years ago as I was re
