Perhaps it was just as well. | The Easter season was so crowd- ot with dances that the musicians never did themselves justice, and she herself was due at another af- fair before the evening was over. . Mrs. Cranshaw looked in on Bob- b} dinner as she went out, a mptuous figure in white velvet ‘ku ermine cloak, Mr. Cranshaw ~j0st behind her. They came inj (“Don’t rise, my dears!” ta the marqu particularly, and to Juanita; making little general| greetings. “Protty girl, the Senorita Flores,” faid Mrs. Cranshaw as they rode away. Mr. Cranshaw nodded. “But the A marquesa,” he added, “is a frump.” “Marquesas can't be frumps,” said the lady. The papers had Heralded the the verandah, a little apart rrom‘[lm_ned Cranshaw dinner, and Molly had apparently read them, 1 dress awaited Juanita's return, There was no new dress for the, marquesa, however, and for her to select one. Kirk had delayed bringing m:-m{ into town until almost the last minute. Juanita had not wavered | in her refusal tQ marry him on Thursday, and he felt more content | with her in Biloxi. The Tijon was| in New Orleans, he reminded him- self, and the marquesa had an- nounced her intention of returning @to it with Juanita. “No,” said Nelly. “You are to| go to our house when you return. Pompey and Sadie (Sadie was! Pompey’s wife) have everything ready for you. The marquesa had expected to go there for the night, but later— “Later,” said Nelly, “you are to ‘come back here. How do you ex- pect me to stay without you?” “you'll be going back yourself, old dear,” Kirk said. “You're nearly well.” Nelly had known nothing of Kirk's plans for an immediate mar- riage, nor of Juanita's later refus-| @l to marry him at all. Nclly would have opined that Kirk, the host, had even less right to insist on marriage than he had} to propose it. But even Nelly could see thai the marquesa was determined to end her visit with them in either place. Juanita wondered. Was it be- cause the marquesa had made such, a comedy of herself the night ofy Adrian’s dinner, or had Divitt or-| dered her return? .

That other thing she had had to tell him—how could she tell him now? How could she tell him anything? The marquesa consented to spend the rest of the week at the Stan- ard home, but Monday she must return to the Tijon. Juanita was glad of this firm decision, regretful only of the delay. Kirk's importunities, sllent and , speaking .spoken were becoming more than | she could bear. “You love this other man, Jua- i nita,” he had said, and Juanita had | not denied, permitting the mar- quesa’s fiction to shelter her. But Kirk on thelr last evening in Biloxi had demanded a more defi- nite confirmation of his words. They had been sitting together on Nelly and the marquesa, Adrian for & ncw and his mother having returned! home. “Is that it, Juanita?” Kirk had no time asked. “You love him best after| an?” She had answered after a pause ““The past has its hold on us.” “What sort of hold?"” Kirk asked “Issit love?” But she had said, “Don’t ask me any more.” After a time he told her, “You are going on to California, as the marquesa says. You are ‘going back to Spain.” ‘And she had answered, truthfully enough, “I ‘don't know where I'm going.” It had been useless for him to| say, as ‘he had said next 'day, in one of their brief instances alone, “You are not happy, Juanita. Even if you won't marry me, let me do something—anything—to help you.”! They had just ridden in frem Biloxi. The marquesa was scuttlinz | up the stair, following Pompey and their bags. In the dim hall Kirk had caught ‘ Juanita’s hand, holding her back She had smiled up at him, Jeaving her hand in his, knowing an instant of poignant happiness. “I am happy,” she had said with brave, soft eyes; Had turned from him, following the marquesa to their rooms, And there on the bed had lain the new dress—black tulle with a back, black slippers and a little spangled fan. Juanita wore the dress that eve- ning, coming down the stair to find Kirk . waiting, tall in his cvening clothes ,his eyes troubled, yet light- ing at sight of her. The marquesa had on the red satin dress with the beaded red cape she had worn at the Comus ball. She seemed cross and rather abstracted, yet alert whenever Kirk spoke to Juanita, however casu-| ally, they rode to the Oran- shaw Perhaps if the place cards were kind, he would sit next to Juanita, reflected Kirk, and surely they would dance after dinner.
