"The only thing that cannot under

about your name. You told me, II
remember right. that you were Miss
Rosie Devne. Was that joke, like my

Papa had not succeeded TO the title

we were very far away from II, and
were very poor; but, as daresay you
| know, our cousin and his two sons and
| grandson were all drowned together
! Door things, when their yacht went
down In great storm of the North oil
Ireland, and then my father was the
next heir through his mother. The
title is one of those very old ones

took the name Of Verden, the old salt

81 see; and Shorthand clipped the
name, and told me merely that you
were Lady Rose Verden."
AT that moment a tall, handsome
young maa came up, and claimed Lady

very good! 0oking man, thought stan

! His big black mustache was curled I'LL
the ends pointed TO his ears; the eX'
preston of his really ine eyes seemed
to say: "See how irresistible | am, and
worship at the shrine"
Involuntarily Stanton Harcourt turn
| ed toward Lady Rose to see how she
was affected by the arrival OF the new
conner, and whether she would obey the
mandate OF mis- orbs.
She said q few words to the young
man apart, and seemed 10 demur TO his
| claim. If so, however, he must have
| insisted on IL, for she laid her hand
within his arm, and, with parting
smile to Stanton Harcourt, was lost 10
the crowd that filled the ball room. Ia

! the movement OF his lips that the good
! looking unknown was not wasting
moment OF the opportunity that forIun'
had afforded him.
Stanton Harcourt felt an unreasonable
sense OF anger rising In his breast
against this young man, who, after all,
had only svalled himself of the ordinary
| privilege of the ballroom, which was
equally open 10 Stanton HarcOurt, had
he been ready 10 seize II. But then
stanton Harcourt had given up dancing

presence at Glenlyndon House on this
occasion was solely due 10 tfe fact thai

Lady Glenlyndon, who Is dancing with
Lady Rose Verdsu?"
"Ohl that's Count Karl Chiraiou
! Cbarafau, the son Of the Prince, VOC
know? He's attached 10 the Austrian
Embassy, and / also think that be il
attached TO Rosie Verden. What
beautiful girl sho is! l shouldn't be

10 that family soon"
This suggestion made Stanton Har

"WeIl, I don't know" replied Lady
