consisted almost entirely of English and
Americans.

me that this young transatlantic beauty
would make me an excellent wife.
Their earnestness amused me.

had to confess that she was very beauti-

her unusually sweet mouth, which,
when she smiled, was truly charming
Her dress seemed to me very extrava-
giant, but as my cousins informed me
that it was the latest Paris style,
would not contend that point with
them any further.
The rest of the company interested

The stout lady now looked over at

After pause the stout lady turned to
Miss Rennert, and asked: "How did
you feel, nademoiselle, when you found
that the young Russian, your especial
friend, was criminal pursued by the
police? My knees fairly knocked to-

and these have not been forthcoming,

be brought against my friend, Lapotin. 3"
The stout lady held her peace. Count
Degenfeld laughed, and said:
''Well, well, baron, has not this nihil-
istic friend infected you? They say that
those revolutionary doctrines, spiritedly
held forth, have an unholy attraction
for youth"
What should have been as Rus

They maintain that now and then
some of the best are stricken with So
called nihilism. As Prussian one is,
thank God, protected against such parox-
ysms. You do not really wish to stamp

CHAPTER XIV.

The feeling of having a secret made
me rather uncomfortable as I went
down to dinner.
Miss Rennert's kind eyes, which smiled
at me from the usual place, were the
only things unchanged, and Mr.. Whites
teeth did their work still in their old
place at the table d'hote.
In Lapotin's place sat the stout lady
from east Prussia, and next her her
niece, an uncommonly large, phleg-
matte young lady.
Thereupon followed Count Degenfeld,
who, in spite of the presence of Mrs.
Clifford, could not deny himself the
pleasure of examining this youthful
form.
He seemed in merry humor, his
new role of grass-widower evidently
pleased him, and he entertained as
usual. the small circle, which always
gathered around Mrs. Clifford, who had
squeezed the English baronet in be.

1.-THE nihilists are said to have their

ing. What caused that sudden decis-
ion?"
II believe the countess learned some
thing of that scene from Ellen, and inn
agined the rest, as she appeared to
know her consort pretty well. Ellen
refused to come to table d'hote, as well
as to see anyone, for which she was
finally compelled to give a reason; then
the doctor said her nerves were over
wrought, but that otherwise she was
perfectly healthy. Possibly the coun-
tess suspected some obtrusiveness on
your part baron, and, to vindicate you,
Ellen had to speak. As things are, and
as much as it panied me to lose my ia
