She directed the servant to admit him. "My dear countess," he said, "I have come toask a favor. .I{nowing you to be intimate with the imperial family, that the empress esteems you highly, I should be obliged if you would use your influence to secure for my nephew a commission in the navy."

" "Well, my dear colonel, I am willing to obllge you if I find an opportunity, but you must' not rely too much upon me, 'I wish you were to be a member of our dinner party.

"I have no especial desire to meet him, But since you are io' grant me this favor is there nothing I can do for you?" "Nothing that I think of." "I have just received a box of fruit from the south. Would you like some for your; table?" "Indeed I would. Fruit at, this sea- son is not to be had." "I will bring it before the dinner is over. "Can you not send, it?" "Send It! No. Do you suppose I would trust a servant with what can not be bought for love 'or money? He would either eat it or sell it and say that he had been robbed. ` I shall bring it myself. What o'clock will your dinner be served?' "At half past 8. We shall be ready for fruit by ball past" 9. The grand duke does not like to sit long at table;. be is a very busy man," Michalovsky left her shortly before the dinner hour. "So the police told my cousin that, did they? I know better. The police, de not tell such secrets. Alexis got it elsewhere. But where? He certainly could not have got it from any of the duke's household. The colonel would not use it for any other purpose than the pretended one. But the duke's life 1s en danger every moment from revo- lutionists, and If it is known 'that he is to dine with me tonight he may be assassinated either coming or going. I will send a messenger suggesting that he stay away." She wrote a note stating that his ex- pected visit was known and begged him not to come, But he replied in person. "Ah, countess," be said gallantly, "d0 you suppose fear would cause me to forego the pleasureof dining with you?" "Did nothing happen on the way'?" "Nothing." "But I fear for your return." "Banish it from your mind. I am here to enjoy a pleasant evening with you. Let us throw fear to the winds." They dined together, and during the dinner the countess asked the duke for the appointment as she had promised. "At whose request do.you ask me for tbis favor?" he said after promising the commission, "My cousin, Colonel Alexis Michalov- sky." "Colonel Micbalovsky 7" "Yes. Do you know him?" -'Only as colonel of a regiment." At the moment a' dish of exquisite' cut glass was brought in on which was' mellow fruit, surmounted by a large orange.
