His blue eyes are almost black. his lips are compressed, his face is very pale. Not an hour ago she had prondsed him histenth dance. He had asked her for it in haste, even'as he went by her with another part- her. and she had smiled consent. Will she forget it? "With, pleasure." she says, softly.gay- ly. her usual lovely smile upon her lips. She is apparently unconscious of any one except her old new friend. Kennedy puts her name ‘down upon his card. At this Dorian makes one step for- ward. as though to protest against somethingâ€"some iniquity done: but a sudden thought striking him. he draws back. and, bringing his teeth upon his under lip with some force, turns ab- ruptly away. \Vhen next he looks in her direction, he finds both Georgia and her partner have disappeared. The night wanes. Already the “keen stars that falter never." aredropping one byone, to slumber, perfect and serene. Diana. tired of her ceaseless watch, is paling, fading, dying imper- ceptibly, as though feeling herself soon to be conquered by the sturdy morn.

Georgia, who is laughing gayly with Mr. Kennedy, turns her face to his some surprise mixed with the sweet- ness of her regard. Never before has he addressed her in such' a tone. “ls it?" she says gently. “I had for- gotten; but of course my card will tell.” “One often forgets, and one's card deesn't‘ always tell." replies he, with a smile tinctured with bitterness. She opens her eyes and stares at him blankly. There is some balm in Gilâ€" cad. he tells himself, as he sees she is totally unaware of his meaning. Per- haps, after all, she did forget about that tenth dance..and did not purpose- ly fling him over for the man now be- aide her, who is grinning at her in a4 supremely idotic fashion.

She looks at her card confusedly. “Yes, the next is o'urs,"- she says, without raising her eyes; and then the band begins again, and Dorian feels her hand upon his arm, and Kennedy bows disconsolatelyand disappears amid the crowd.
