"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 -4bet your life!' he laughed. Now, lack would never have seen the point of that Anyhow, the hour is too late ;and 1 am too sleepy to worry about young men or jokes either. Good ',night!" Next morning's mail brought Doro- thy a bulky letter decorated with Eng- lish stamps. She locked the door, tore open the envelope and found many sheets of thin paper bearing the head- ing of the Bluewater club, Pail Mall. "I am reminded of an old adage," :she read, "to the effect that one should -4k-a never cross a bridge before arriviug at it. • Since I bade goodby to you up to this very evening I have been plod - •ding over a bridge that didn't exist, much to my own discomfort.

When the servant mete she said: "Will you ask at the office if they have any biographical book of refer ence relating to Great 'Britain and, If 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 Metgurne. "Metgurne, twelfth Duke of, created 1031, Herbert George Alan." Here fol. lowed, a number of other ti •. the in- formation that the soa and weir was 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 shall bo as anxious to avoid my cousin Thaxted as 1 am to steer clear of his father in London. So I sat in my club and read the papers. Dear me, this Is evidently. wring to be a very long letter. I hope you won't wind. I think perhaps you may be Interested In learning how they do tWngs over here. "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. I was so taken aback at confronting seeli a man that I never noticed my eel friend, Billy Illehardsou, seated at the table es one of the minor officials of the entmettee. 131113' tells Me I Looked ra white about the lips .wbett I restlized what wee ahead of me, Ana I dare sly he a•as right. sly is that 1 aldn't get red, as is my diseeneet*ther habit. 1 NvitS 110- e= trodnied with si eheir, and then ferrety fecal little num began mating Inn queetions, coustsitine every now and thee a fettle:eat sheet of paper elect: was lafere him. 0 [hers were ready to netts dewn enewers. l• ea -lee, ma eon n”. the new oral from tin, ronstertm sem in the retitle?'

"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 - (seeding the limits of friendly corre• 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- tience, be might bave waited till the Consternation herself arrived or else have eablea for us to try the gun at 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- siaua.
