revelation to him-the splendor Of the glacier
mountain world, and simultaneously with it a
realization of the beauty, the charm of that old
world of the Middle Ages which Is being re-
morselessly and surely effaced, and on which in
another century the men Of that generation
will be unable to look, or will know of it only a
few scattered monuments, set in wastes Of
hideousness, and judge of it only as one might
judge OF the ocean by contemplating few
shells dugs out of a chalk bed.
The party of Pennycomequick-Side
Labarte had settled itself to a handicapped.
or. to be more exact, imitation handicapped
table, and had ordered the waitress to bring
the carte of wines and meats, when Claudine
Labarte nudged her aunt, and whispered
'Seei seel There they are, M. lie Comte de
Schoville, and our dear Artemise. Shall we 60
to themT'
"On no account" said Mrs. Pennycome-
quick, that is to say Janet, hastily. Besides"
she looked in the same direction, 'they do not
seem to desire our interference"
An looked at the little table, not far distant,
where sat Beaple Yeo, alias Schofield. and his
bride. The same day that had smiled on Lam
bert and Janet had laughed over them, but
without sure augury of calm weather appar-
emily; for already post-nuptial storm had
broken loose Beaple Yeo was leaning back in
his green-painted iron chair, very red and
blotched in face, and opposite him twas Arte-
misia whom he had just made his wife, flushed
and talking rapidly.
1t was clear that they were in angry alterca-
tion-about what could not be learned-for
their voices were drowned by the music from
the little theater in the grounds, in which the
overture to Boildieu's "Jean de Paris was
being performed.
Beaple Yeo curIed his whisker round his
forefinger, and said something in reply to q
discharge of angry words from Artemisia;
whatever 1t was that he said, 1t SO stung her
that losing all self-control, she sprung to her
feet, leaned across the table and struck him on
the cheek. Beaple lost his equilibrium and
went over with his chair on the gravel of the
terrace to the great amusement of the Swiss
waitress and the scattered visitors at tables
who had noticed the alteration. Artemisia
was startled at her own violence, and ashamed:
she looked around and caught sight of the
friends she had made at Andermatt Her
color was SO heightened with passion that it
could not become deeper with shame. In
stead of resuming her seat, without regarding
the humiliated man who was picking himself
up from the ground she came directly to the
table where the party of Pennycomequick-
Sidebottom was seated and with heaving
bosom and flashing eye, she stood before
Philip, and said in a tone broken with excite
ment: "You have helped to deceive me. 1t was
mean-it was cruell You insulted me first of
all, and then you conspired with thIs-this man
to play me base trick. 1t was unworthy of a
gentleman, of an Englishman."
81 beg your pardon" said Philip; Il do not
understand of what you are speaking. I am
quite unaware that ever deceived you"
You told me he was a nobleman-an earl
and he is nothing of the kind
Il never said he was"
~ asked you, and you answered me that he
was an earl"
II did no such thing. You misunderstood
me. You asked me whether he had any right
to the title of Earl of Schofield, and answered
Il recall exactly my words-that he was per-
fectly justified in calling himself Earle Scho-
field. That is his name Whether he has any
right to call himself Beaple Yeo, and to claim
to be q colonel is another matter on which /
entertain grave doubts; but have none what
ever that his surname is Schofield. and that his
Christian name is Earle"
Artemisia Gid not speak for q minute, she
was very angry and ashamed. When she had
in some measure recovered her self-possession,
she said bitterly "You might have been more
explicit"
~ refused to say much about the man. 1 had
my reasons. Moreover, had no idea that the
matter was one of importance to you"
II have sold myself to him. 1 have married
him this day. and only now have discovered
that have been basely imposed upon"
1T is IL who have been taken in" shouted
Yeo coming forward, pushing to the table, re-
gardless of the shrinking fear that appeared
in the faces of Salome and Janet. ut is l." he
repeated, Il that have been deceived. 1 was
