Q David Royant was sitting out oil the terrace, sitting out with a partner who had laughingly declined to dance. The fragrant scent of hot. house flowers hung in the air. and the strains of the famous El Dorado waltz floated out from the ballroom. He was a tall, determined-looking man; he had a strong chin and good honest brown eyes. His was the face of a man who had fought a hard battle and conquered. The woman?the woman who didn't want to dance?was a slight creature with a pair of haunting gray eyes and a cloud of fair, exquis itely silky hair. There was a something indescribably attractive and alluring in her whole personality. "'The El Dorado," murmured Vanessa, listening to the music. She jjave a slight, delicate laugh, then she turned to her companion. "Do you think there is an El Dorav do?such a country?" she asked medj itatively, "or is it a fairy tale, like the rest?" \ Her sigh was infinitely pathetic. It was difficult to realize for the moment that an eminently successful woman was asking the wistful question, a woman whose art had made | her famous, and who played the violin as none other could or would. Curious, too, that she should ques-' tion David Royant on the subject. If there was a man on garth who had found the land of El Dorado this man had, for Royant was a millionaire, and more than a millionaire, a man who had built up a miraculous for^ tune, as it were, in the twinkling of an eye. He had stumbled on a gold mine by pure accident. "Oh, no, I believe in El Dorado I Of course, there is such a land? | there must be," he continued, "cthE nrwiao nil thp r>r?pts and dreailiprs have been mad?all the singers, all the musicians. And it would be Y rather a pity to believe that, wouldn't <t?" i This was not the first time he had met Vanessa Lessing by any means, for they were friends now of long standing; but the woman interested him. For all her fame, for all her magnificent success, and her curious and indefinite beauty, her face was not the face of a happy woman. The eyes were hungry eyes. "Some people"?Vanessa spoke slowly and very softly?"some people bold that El Dorado is a land of gold. It is the city of the rich man, and no one can enter it unless he has great wealth." David Royant shook his head. "Don't believe that story," he said decidedly; "it is a fable. I am a rich man myself, but"?he spread out his hands?"I haven't found the land you speak of, though I came near to finding it once." His strong rugged face softeued. A new look came into his eyes. I, "Tell me," she leaned forward. l?kj rt uiu ju u tuuic ucai cu mc u'uwtry, how did you lose your chance of landing in it?" "It is a very ordinary story," he smiled, then crumpled his program up into a hard ball; "just the story of a young man passionately in love ^ with a young woman, who gees r' abroad to try to make a fortune for her. He comes back years after with his fortune, but the girl?" "Yes, the girl?" murmured Vanessa. "She's the mother of girls herself;" he answered simply, "a sparkling young matron of thirty. Happy > enough, I've no doubt, even though the man she married doesn't happen , to be quite so wealthy as I am. Oh, r ~ J U - x uuu i oui>iJuac sue tarcu Iiiucu lur me, really." he added with a dry laugh, "else she would have waited ' as other women have waited." "Things are better for you tha*1 they were for me," she muttered. She shuddered as she spoke. "Years ago when I was young, barely eighteen," she went on, "I was engaged to be married. He was a struggling young barrister, and I was one of a family of many sisters. There was no earthly prospect of our being married for years; but that didn't matter in the least, we were quite happy. And then, one afternoon, when I happened to be playing my violin at a small afternoon party, a big musician heard me, and told mc that if I chose to work hard I should have a future before me?a great future. Of course, I was ex( -cited?flattered. Then, later on, when the big man's opinion was corroborated by other great musicians, it seemed natural that I should accept the great offer made me by a liberal patron of music?an offer to pay my expenses in Paris if I cliose f to study music there, and definitely take It up as a profession. My kind friend made one stipulation, however; I was to break off iny engagement?for a time. For an artist cannot serve two gods, she said, and I suppose she was right. For music demands everything?one's life, one's soul." "You broke off your engagement?" Royant spoke curtly. "I broke it off in a sort of a way, but it was an understood thing between us that when I had finished my studies, and was beginning to take ' my place in the musical world, our ?. engagement should come on again." "What happened?" Royant looked At her scrutinizingly. How pale, how fearfully pale she had grown! And ffr-f'ilitWii i' this was the woman who v posed never to have had a lo in her life, but had devoted entirely to her art! "Then came my debut, wt a wonderful triumph, and al It seemed to me that I had tl at my feet.
