dreds of times driving about alone in
Vienna, where they spent two win-
ters, a really pathetic figure, scorn-
ed not only by her husband but by
every one else. He never was to be
seen in public with her. He made it
clear to his world that she was not
to be inflicted upon it by any unnec-
essary act of his. She came to see
Betty and me occasionally; always
bright and proud and full of spirit,

"Poor little beggar," said I, with-
out thinking of how it would sound to
her; "she has had her fling and she
has paid well for it."
"If her stingy old father, who per-
mitted her to get into the scrape,

"Heaven knows where she is. May-

"I shouldn't be surprised," said I.
The Billy Smiths and George Haz-
zard came up at this juncture. Elsie
at once proceeded to go into a long
,series of conjectures as to the prob-
able whereabouts of Mr. Pless's fore
mer wife and their child. I was im-
mensely gratified to find that they
were now undivided in their estimate
of Mr. Pleas and firmly allied on the
side of the missing countess.

would enliven his tale by making Mr.
Pleas do something sensational while
he was about it, such .as yanking his
erstwhile companion out of her place
of hiding by the hair of her head, or
kicking down all the barricades about
the place, or fighting a duel with me,
or—well, there is no end of things be
might do for the sake of a "situation."
But 1 am a person of veracity and the
truth is in me. Mr. ?less did none
of these interesting things, so why
should I say that he did?
He went away with the othera at
half -past eleven, and that was the
end of his first -visit to my domain.
For fear that you, kind reader, may
be disappointed, I make haste to as-
sure you that he was to come again.
Of course there wag more or leas
turmoil and—I might say disaffection
—attending his departure. He raised
Cain with my servants because they
did this and that when they shouldn't
have done either; he (and the amiable
baron) took me to task for having
neglected to book compartments for
them in the Orient Express; he insist-
ed upon having a luncheon put up in
a tea basket and taken to the railway
station by Britton, and he saw to it
personally that three or four bottles
of my beat wine were neatly packed
in with the rest. He said three or
four, but Britton in firm in his be-
lief that there was nearer a dozen,
judging by the weight.
He also contrived to have Mr. Poop-
endyke purchase time -class railway
tickets for him and the baron, and
then forgot to settle for them. It
amounted to something like four hun-
dred and fifty kronen, if 1 remember
correctly. He took away eleven hun-
dred and sixty-five dollars of my
money, besides, genially acquired at
roulette, and I dread to think of
what he and the baron took -out of
my four friends at auction bridge.
I will say this foihirn: he was the
smartest aristocrat I've ever known.
Need I add that the Ilazzards and
the Smiths travelled second class?
"Well, thank the Lord!" said I, as
the ferry put off with the party, leav-
ing me alone on the little landing.
The rotten timbers seemed to echo
the sentiment. At the 'top of the
steep all the Schmicks were saying it,
too; in the butler's pantry it was al-
so being said; a score of workmen
were grunting it; and the 'windlass
that drew me up the hill was scream-
ing it in wild, discordant glee. I re-
peated it once more when Britton re-
turned from town and assured me
that they had not missed the train.
"That's whet' I'd like to say, sir,"
said he. -
"Well, say it," said I. And he said
it' so vociferously that I know it must
have been heard in the remotest
corners of heaven.
The merry song of the hammer
and the sweet rasp of the saw greet-
ed my delighted ear as I entered the
castle. Men were singing and whistl-
ing for all they were worth; the air
was full of music. It was not unlike
the grand transformation scene in
the pantomime when all that has been
gloom and despondency gives way in
the flash of an eye to elysran splen-
dour and dazzling gaiety. 'Pon my
soul, I never felt so exuberant in all
my life. The once nerve-racking
clangour was like the soothffig strains
of an invisible orchestra to my de-
-Righted senses. Ha! Hal What a
merry old world it is, after all!
Nearing my study, I heard an al-
most forgotten noise: the blithe, in-
cessant crackle of a typewriting ma-
chine. Never have I heard one rattle
so rapidly or with such utter gar-
rulousness.
I looked in at the door. Over in
his corner by the windew Poopendyke
was at work, his lanky figure hunch-
ed over the key -board, his head en-
veloped in clouds from a busy pipe,
for all the world like a tug -boat
smothering in its oWTI low-lying
smoke. Sheets of paper were strewn
about the floor. Even as I stood
there hesitating, he came to the end
of a sheet and jerked it- out of the
machine with such a resounding snap
that the noise startled me. He was
having the time of his lifel
I stole away, unwilling to break in
upon this joyful orge.
Conrad, grinning from 'ear to ear,
was waiting for me outside emy hed-
room door late in the day. He salut-
ed me with unusual cordiality.
"A note, mein herr," said he, and
handed me a dainty little pearl -grey
envelope. He waited -while I reed
the missive.
"I sha'n't be home for dinner, Con-
rad," said I, my eyes aglow, "Tell
'Hawkes, will you?"
Ile bowed and scraped himself a-
way; somehow he seemed to have
grown younger by decades. It was
in the air to be young and care -free.
