John," said she, shaking her all that sort of thing, but heaven knows she's been pretty thoroughly made over in a new crucible. We used to feel terribly sorry for her, ven while we were deriding her for the fool she had made of herself in marrying iffm. I've seen her hun- 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, but we could see the wounds in her poor little heart no matter how hard she tried to hide them. I thll you, John, they like us as women but they despise us as wives. It will always be the same with them. They won't let us into their charmed circle. Thank God, I am married to an Am- erican. He must respect me whether he wants to or not." "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."

Now you are a perfect angel." "You've always said that," said I. "You did not have to live in the slime house with me to find it out, did you?" She ignored the question. "I shall never, fewer forgive myself for this awful week, John. We've talked it all over among ourselves. We are ashamed—oh, so terribly ashamed. If you can ever like us again of - ter—" "Like you!"

I said it with a great deal of feel- ing. The tears rushed into her eyes. "You are a dear, John," she sighed. "You'll come?"

"Heaven knows where she is. May- be she's as safe es a bug in a rug." "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.

He 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.
