He seemed determined that I should read nothing more in his eyes. But the color of his face was some- thing that he couldn’t control, and as the notes of the music rippled on his pallor increased until there wasn't a stige of color left. And looking closely at him—something which his averted eyes gave the opportunity of doing—T saw that while his face and lips were immovable as granite, the fingers of the hand nearest the wall, and therefore hidden from the sight of every one but me, were clenched into the palm. He managed to recover himself, however, before the pianist finished playing, and with a magnificent as- sumption of nonchalance turned to- ward the front of the room where the gray-haired manager stood, a dom- | inant figure, every line of her aflame with patriotic fervor.

If I hadn’t seen his face, unobserved by him, during the preceding minutes, I should have judged him harshly, be- | lieved the worst of my suspicions con- | cerning him. But the memoty of his | eyes, his pallor, made me certain that he was masking his emotion, as was | always his wont, by badinage. “Oh, nothing so drastic,” T replied, smiling faintly. It was no part of my plan that he should suspect I dreamed him other than a patriot. “But no per- son who refuses to rise can ever eat here again.” He turned around in his seat and looked the manager over with careful scrutiny. “Well, you've got to slip it to her. he said, when he turned toward me again. ‘“She’s sincere in her patriot- ism, it costs her something. A lot of these blatherskites that are running around waving flags are making all the money they can out of it.
