The bright 4 O gleam of the silver, the glitter of gia.->.-. and tho perfume of tlowers, all collected under the subdued crimson glow of a pink-globed lamp, which hung from the ceiling, could iot but give him a pleasurable sen sation. On one side of the dining-room there were Trench windows opening on to the verandah, and bevom 1 ap- 1 peared the vivid green of the trees, and the dazzling colors of the tlow er-. somewhat tempered by the soft hazy glow of the twilight. Brian had made himself as respectable as possible, under the odd circumstan ces of dining in hif- riding-dress, and sat next to Madge, contented y sip ping his wine, and listening to the pleasant chatter which was i/oiii" on 1 n n 4*l oulid him.
