118 THE LAND OF DESOLATION. At length the mystery was cleared up, and very sudden- ly, for the Prince came bouncing into the room holding Concordia by the hand. The arrival created a sensation. Concordia was literally dazzling. The Prince had clearly been assisting at her toilet. She was covered with beads and jewelry. A magnificent plaid shawl which the Prince had sported through the voyage, and which had two days before suddenly disappeared, now reappeared in the shape of a jaunty jacket, tri...mmed with eider-down, on Concor- dia's graceful shoulders. And then, what shining panta- loons of the softest silver seal-skin ! what spotless, snow- white boots inclosed her dainty little feet ! But the Prince ah ! what a stunning get-up, to be sure ! Sea- boots matching Concordia's for length, if not in purity of color ; a bright scarf across his shoulders and around his waist ; a Scotch cap, with a dissipated feather in it what a picture for a ball-room ! No wonder that Marcus grew several shades lighter in color; no wonder that his pipe fell out of his mouth and broke in pieces on the floor ; no wonder that he stole out of the room as if the place were too hot for him, and should show himself no more in the ball-room that night !
