"Then again, Kate, Russian notions

"Yes, there are many possibilities,"
murmured Katherine dreamily.
"It seems rather strange that Mr.
Henderson should have time to come
up here in the middle of the week."
"Why is it strange?" asked Kath-
erine. "Mr. Henderson is not a clerk
bound down to office hours. He's an
official high up in one of the big in-
surance companies and gets a simply
tremendous saltara."
"Really? Does he talk as well as
Jack Lamont did?"
"He talks less like the Troy Tech-
nical institute and more like the Home
Journal than poor Prince jack did,
and, then, he has a much greater sense
of humor. When I told him that the
oath of an insurance man should be

Next morning's mail brought Doro-

open the envelope and found many
sheets of thin paper bearing the head-

:she read, "to the effect that one should

When the servant mete she said:
"Will you ask at the office if they
have any biographical book of refer

flo, please bring It to me?"
The servant appeared shortly after
with a red book which proved to be an
English "Who's Who" dated two years
back. Turning the pages, she eame to

Marquis of Thaxted and belouged to
the diplomatic service; that Lord Met-
gurne was IL M. secretary of state tor
rival dependencies; finally a list of
resideuces and clubs. She put down
the book and resumed the letter.
"I think I. ought to have told you
that when I reach St. Petersburg I

"After two or three days of anxious
waiting there came a erusbing corn-
umuleation from the admiralty which
countered my worst fears and set me
at crossing the bridge again. I was or-
dered to report uext morning at 11 at
committee room 5 In the admiralty and
bring with me full particulars pertain
•
ing to the firing of gun number so-and-
so of the Consternation's equipment on
(melt a date. I .wonder since that I did
not take to drink. We hare every fa
cility for that sort of thing hi this club.
"However, at 11 uext day I present-
ed myself at the committee room and
found in session the -grimmest: looking
fere men I have ever yet been called
upon to face. Collectively they were
about ten times worse in appearance
than the eourtmartial I had previously
encountered. Four of the men I did
uot know, but the fifth I recognized ttt
once, having often seen his portrait,
He is Admiral Sir John Pendergest,
popularly known In the service as
'Old Grouch,' a blue terror who knows
absolutely nothing of mercy. The lads
In the service say he looks so disagree-
able because he is sorry he was not
born a hanging judge. Picture a face
as cleanly eut as that of some severe
Itonum sonator, a face es hard as
marble, quite as cold and nearly as
white, rescued from the appearance of
a death mask by a pair of piercing
ores that glitter like steel. When look-
ing at hitu it is quite impossible to
believe net 800 n personage bas ever
been a boy who played pranks on his
masters. Indeed, Adtuiral Sir John
Peneergest seems to have spruug, fully
uniformed and, forbidding. from the
earth, like those soldlets of mythology.

"Dear Miss Ambnrst, this letter, as I
feared, has turned out intolerably long,
and, like our first conversation, it is all
about myself. But then, you zee, you
are the only one on the other side of
the water to whom I have confided my
selfish worries, and I believe you to be
so kind hearted that I am sure you
will not censure me for this once ex -

spondenee. Having been deeply do -
pressed during all the previous long
days, the sudden reaction urges me to
go out into Pull Mall, fling my cap In
the air and whoop, which action is
quite evidently a remnant of my for-
mer cowboy aspirations. Truth to tell,
the Russian business seems already
forgotten except by my stout old cap-
tain on the Consternation or my un-
tie. The streuuous Sir John bas had
me haled across the ocean weedy to
give testirmeue, lasting -about thirty-
five minutes, when, with a little pft-

Consternation herself arrived or else

Bar Harbor. I suppose, however, that
after my unfortunate contretemps with
Russia our government Was afraid I'd
chip a corner off the United States and
that they'd have to pay for it. So per
haps, after all, it was greater economy
to bring me across on the liner Malta-

When Katherine finished reading she
looked up at her friend 011(1 exclaimed,
"Well!" giving thnt one word a mean-
ing deep as the clear pool on whose
borders she stood.
Dorotby's face reddened ea if the
sinking, western sun was shining fell
upon it -
"You write to one another, Weer;
"Yes,"
"Aid is it 11 ease of" -
"No; friendship."
"Sure it is nothing more than that?"
Dorothy shook her head.
"Dorothy, you are A brick; Mara
what you are. Yon will do anything
to help a friend in trouble."
Dorothy smiled.
"1 have so few friends that whatever

"Indeed, Kett', there was nothing to
conceal. Ours is n very ordinary ex-
change of letters. I have only had hitt)
-one at Bar Harbor a few days after
he left and another imiger one since
we eame to the hotel, writte» from
Vineland." .
"Did the test one go teller Ilarbo.r
too? How ('0100 311)0 to receive it wben
we did not get ours?"
"It did not go to Bar Harbor. I gave
lain the address of my lawyers in New
York, and they forwarded it to me
here. Lieutenant Drummond was or-
dered bome by some one who had an-
thority to do so and received the meg-
sage while he was sitting with me on
the night of the ball. He had got into
trouble with Russia. There had been
an investigation, and he was aequitted. .
I saw that be was 111 1.110r W011110(1 over

everything would turn out for the best.
