"Ey the way, you referred to him as "a little feller; I should hardly call Bromley little, would you, Dawson?" Dawson shook his head ponderously. "Scarcely." Gwynne looked from one to the other in amazement: "Are you sure?" "Positive."

"It wasn't like ,his—until you cane." , It looked too dark for him to see the look of triumph in her eyes.

Both the living room and the ver- andah' were deserted. He cast a quick glance round hint and remarked that one of the most comfortable chairs was missing. Thirty seconds Iat,er he had succeeded in tracing the dish outline of the missing piece of furniture—not a.. dozen yards from the foot of the steps. A single glowing spot ---accen- tuated against the blackness—indicat- ed that the chair was occupied. Hewitt went down. "That you, Peter?" The 'pleasantly contralto tones of Enid replied to him. "No, it's 1, Captain Hewitt. The others have gone down to the coast,. Mrs, Viney was anxious to discover how the native fishermen spiked fish." • . He took the flight et a couple of strides and, selecting :a wicker stool, placed• it in the' immediate proximity aft Miss Bromley. "Why didn't you go and see the fishing by lamplight, Miss Bromley?"

"Couldn't we go tonight?" "Certainly, 12 you're not too tired. Would you like to?" "Awfully." On the way to the coast he took her mugelmarommook time. "I can hear you perfectly from here, What is it?" In some respects Hewitt was sensi- tive. He was particularly keen on' seeing for himself: the effect of his statement Upon his sister. Nor was he altogether satified that Monica liked Enid, "Enid—Miss Bromley's going up- country tomorrow;" he said, sdrddenly endo'red wadi a happy inspiration.

France's Older Foreign Office In What is Now the Library of Versailles, Two Treaties Affecting American Republic. Were Signed In these days when so much is writ- ten and illustrated of the Quai d'Orsay, the modern French Foreign Office where the Kellogg pact was signed and where M. J3riand spends his working days, it is fitting to re - mil that there is another F retiohn For- eign Office, or-eignOffice, now diseased .and deserted, which is or should be interesting to visitors. The building is now the Town Li- brary of Versailles. In one of its rooms, where today'the librarian has his desk, the treaty of alliance be- ttveen France and the United States was signed in 1778 and five years later the treaty of peace between France' and England which recognized the ex- istence of the young American Re- public. Save for the . furniture, the great. stately chamber is now just as it was when the bewigged, bepowdered and besworded diplomats of Louis XVI's time put their seals and their signa- tures to the ' two momentous •docu- ments The whole edifice, indeed, is entirely unchanged since the last years before the revolution, which is a great deal more than can be said for the palace near by.

DUC DE CHOISEUL'S CHAMBER About the high, echoing apartments there still lingers the grace and calm of the eighteenth ee htury. The room in which the treaties concerning Am- erica was signed was the Due de Choiseul's own inner chamber. From there he went most days, in his dark blue velvet coat, to take his chair up the short hill to the palace, there to consult with the Xing. All around are books. Books over- flow into the rooms of the second and third iicors, where the Foreign Office clerks of Louis XVI's day carried out their tasks of copying and engrossing. The upper part of the building was used to home a printing press, whence all the official publications of the Gov - eminent issued. The books here con- stitute the Town Library of Versailles.
