Maxime saw it was useless to in-

of those capricious watches that
suddenly stop and start off again
when vigorously shaken.
"And the Countess Yalta, diel
you knew her?" he asked sudden-

Avenue de Villiers.

"All sorts of things. \Vait! the

is she was ill and received me on
a great bed like the one in the

She asked me about M. de Car -

"And could you tell her?"
