pretty clrl In an iiltra-fashloimhlo dress of
dull Krecn; Courtney nddrcssed her In pass-

"Mr. Courtney nt last'' I thutin'ht that you
had (pilto furi:utteii ns" said a swisd vnlce;
a little hand was strctclitsl out to Courtney
nml a pair id soft ki ay eyes looked up at
hint reproachfully.
"Knrnotten joul" The power of protesta-
tion seemed to have left Courtney: ho could
only echo the words vacantly; their ery
Bound seeiuisl to hint piesisteious.
Miss Kcnyoti fur It was sho who had
likcn was a lady whoso claims to beauty
spite of their Uliilli'stlnlilll'l neccphilicu by
Couitney wuuhlnot heiiiilvers.illyailiulttisl.
In Venice a4 elsewhere her father's ward
Lilian Stuart a )lvacloiis maiden with dark
hair bright black e)es and a brilliant color
was accredited with a better title than her
own to general admiration. M.tr)'s features
were regular her suusitli brown hair was
soft ami luxuriant and her gray e)es weio
full of thoiiKht and fis'lin;' but she was
amiill and pale and n cert tin class of critics
pronounced her det old of "t) le ;" certainly
sho was devuld of tho nrtot self-assertion.
The Iwtter she was known tho inoroKcuulno-
ly she was admired; her nature was rellilnir
uml on tlrst aeittaliitaiice she sisnned shy
ami quiet. Koinethiies a trltlo awkward.
"You havo not been to sisi us fur years."
"I I have sent a substitute" stainiucrisl
Courtney. He had taken Maiy's uttered
hand and he held It hi Ids own while he
ssiko; hl4 e)es never left his cuntjiatilnu's
face; ho law nothing and tin one but tho
owner of that sweet face with Its quiet
smile and Us cniiildlii'f irnty c)fs.
"A substitute'.'"
"Kdwardes tho jiiunij man w hom you al-
lowed mo to liilnsluco tu you Is heru often
Is ho not'"'
"Mr. Kilwardcs-oh jes Hut" In the Im-
patient tone of one tibllRtsI to utter n truism
"new friends are not substitutes for old ones
Mr. Courtney."
"A ro they not child?" n pleased hsik canto
Into Courtney's eyes. He diew Mary's hand
through Ids arm and bsl her out tism a bal-
cony looking over the water. "Since wo
meet so seldom" ho said draw Inn forward
n chair for her niul seatlni; himself by her
side "It's only fair 1 should mono'iollzo you
this evenlin' for a llttlu while at least."
Time went on. Courtney had found his
power nt ais-cn; tic taiKen on and on In tho
low deferential voice natural to hint w hen
lie addressed a woman and he listemsl to
Mary's answirs with a marked attention
whoso reisTtful courtesy savunsl of tho
manners nf nn earllt r date. Kt ery now and
again the splash of an oar was beard and a
piudola with a twlnkllnc limp Elided by;
