to dine with me tonight. I was com-
ing round to the hotel in a few mo-
ments."
Mrs. Blake was a younger sister of
Shirley's mother. Her husband had
died a few years previously, leaving
her a small income, and when she had
heard of her niece's contemplated trip
to Europe she had decided to come to
Paris to meet her and incidentally to
chaperon her. The two women were

The cab stopped suddenly in front

T.u:tenbourg, and through the tali rail-
ings they caught a glimpse of well -
kept lawns, - splashing fountains and
richly dressed children playing. From
the distance came the stirring strains
of n brass band.
The coachman drove up to the curb,
and .Jefferson jumped down, assisting
Shirley to alight.
They entered the gardens, following
the street scented paths until they
came to where the music was. The
band of an infantry regiment was play-
ing. and a large crowd had gathered.
Many people were sitting on the chairs
provided for visitors for the modest fee
of two sous; others were promenading
round and round a great circle having
the musicians in its center. The dense
foliage of the trees overhead afforded
a perfect shelter from the hot rays of
the sun, and the place was so inviting
and interesting, so cool and so full of
sweet perfumes and sounds, appealing
to and saiisfying the senses, that Shir-
ley wished they had more time to
spend there.
"Isn't it delightful here?" said sbe.
"1 could stay here forever, couldn't
you?"
"With you -yes," answered Jeffer-
son, with a significant smile, '
Shirley tried to look angry. She
strictly discouraged these convention-
al, sentimental spoeches which con-
stantly flung her sex in her face.
"Now, you know I don't lilte you to
talk that way, lir. Ryder. It's most
undignified. Please be sensible."
Quite subdued, Jefferson relapsed
into a sulky silence. Presently he
said:
"I wish you wouldn't call me Mr.
Ryder. I meant to ask you this before.
You, ,know very well that you've.no

"Ob, I don't knotv," he stammered,

calmly through and through. "'Why

the integrity of Jtul;e itossmore had
been *lade the subject of congression-
al inquiry and that the result of the
inquiry was so grave that a demand
for impeachment would be at once
;out to the senate. It added that the
charges grew out of the receut decision
in the Great Northwestern Mining com-
pauy ease, it being alleged that Judge
Rossmore had accepted a large sum
of money on condition of his handing
down a decision favorable to the com-
pany.
Jefferson was thunderstruck. Me
read the dispatch over again to- make
sure there was no mistake. No, it
was very plain -Judge Rossmore of
Madison avenue. But how preposter-
ons, what a calumny! He paid for his
vermouth and hurried away to his
hotel to dress.
It was just striking 7 when ho re-
entered the courtyard of the Grand
hotel. Shirley and Mrs. Blake ware
waiting for him.
They drove up the stately Champs
Elysees, past the monumental Arc de
Triomphe and from there down to the
Bois. All were singularly quiet. Mrs.
Blake was worsting about her new
gown, Shirley was tired, and Jefferson
could not banish from his mind the ter-
rible news be had just read. He avoid-
ed looking rit Shirley until the latter
noticed it and thought she must have
offended him in smile way. She was
more sorry than she would have him
know, for with all her apparent cold-
ness for

very indispensable to het .happiness.
It was nearly 10 o'clock when they
hail finished. They sat a little longer
listening to the gypsy tousle, Weird and

marked: -
"1 for one preferred the music this
afternoon:"
"Why?" inquired Jefferson, ignoring
the petulant note in•liet voice, -
"Because you. were Wore al ti'abTel"
she retorted rather crossly. But she
could never remain angry long, and
when they said good night she whiz -
voted denturely:
