"M'sieur is very fortunate in being so afflicted." he boomed. "A thousand times iu the night have I wished that I might be deaf also. Ah! Even an affliction such as yoin•s, m'sieur, has its benedictions." Matters drifted along smoothly. even merrily, for several days. They were all young and full of the joy 'of living. They laughed in secret over the mis- haps and .perils. They whiffed and enjoyed' the apice'that filled the atmos- phere 111 which they lived.

The ft\'ciaeya Were arriving on the fifth day from Betlin. Despite the fact that the Seattle "connections" had never seen the illustriona Med- ?.roft, husband to their distant cousin, there still remained the disturbing fear that they would recognize -or, rather. fail to recognize him! -from chance plc• tures that might have come to their notice. Besides, there was always the possibility that they had seen or even met Brock in New Fork. He lugubri- ously admitted that he had met un- fortunate thousands whom he had promptly forgotten, but who seldom failed to remember him. It is not sir:, prising., then, that the Medlcrofts, ex parte, were in a state of p(.rturbation- a condition which did net relax in the least as the time drew near for the ar- rival of the 5 o'c1oc1+ train from the uorth. Constance strove. faithfully, even valiantly, to inject confidence into the souls of the prime conspirators. "You have done so beautifully up to this time," she protested to the dolorous Brock, "why should you be afraid? I once read of an Indian chief whose name was Young -Man -Afraid -of -His - Wife. He was a very brave fellow in spite of all that. You are afraid of Edith, but can't you be like the Indian? Jae"— ' "That's all very nice," mourned ftrock.

Think of the difference to our disguises—war paint in daubs versus spats and an eyeglass: Besides, he didn't have to talk west end Eng- lish. ncIish. And, moreover, he lived in a wig-' wam'and didn't have to explain a sky. bedroom to strangers who happened along." "That is a bit awkward," she con- fessed thoughtfully. "But can't you say that you have insomnia and can't sleep unless you are above the noise of the street?" He looked at her with an expression that made a verbal reply- to this sug- gestion altogether unnecessary. "Nurse says that Tootles has forgot- ten the real Roxbury," she went on aft- er a moment. "See how cleverly you have played the part." Still he stared moodily, unconvinced. nt the roadway ahead. They were (laving in the Haupt Allee. "I hope I haven't got Roxbury into trouble by that interview I gave out concerning the new method of 'fire- proofing woodwork in office buildings and hotels. It occurred to me after- ward that he is violently opposed to the system. I advocated 1t. He'll have a—I might say a devil of a time ex- plaining hit change of front." As a matter of fact, when Medcroft, hiding in London. saw the reproduced interview in the Times, together with editorial comments upon the ettraordi- ' nary attitude of n supposedly conserva- tive Englishman of recognized ability, • he was tried almost beyond endurance. • For the next two or three days the newspapers printed caustic contribu- tions from fellow nrchitects and build- ' err, in each of which the luckless Med- croft was taken to tasit for advocating an impractical and famous New York hobby in the way of construction, some- tliittg that staid old London would not even tolerate or discuss. The soda! chronieliegs of the Moderofts in Vi- enna as dispatched by the correspond- , etits offset this unhappy "hell" to some extent in no far ail Medcroft's Tepee of teind was Concerned, but nothing could have drawn• attention to the fact that he was not in London et that partic- alar time so decisively as the Vienna Interview and its undefended front.

MANUFACTURERS are of two kinds -the honest and dishonest The one Makes the best goods, the other makes the worst. Bach has his own particular scheme of life. The honest manufacturer aims to make the best goods he can and to advertise them so that all the world will know of their merits. He courts investigation, He wants customers to hold him to a rigid accountability. The dishonest manufactur- er anufacturer hopes to prat by decep- tion. He produces an article that will be offered as "just es good" though he knows it ie inferior.

"He's the dearest thing in the world!" cried the other, her cheeks aglow. "I'm so glad, on Edith's account.
