no overt demonstration Of authority
such as the world could see and COM
ment on, He simply gave them to un-
derstand that they must not do such
and such things-indeed 1t was impera-
tive-that they should follow his advice.
AS his strong will coerced Mrs.
Brands weaker mind he had things on
the whole pretty much his own way
which was not always Ida's. Yet
somehow, willing or unwilling, she had
to go as Gerald Frobisher ordained, and
bit by bit she felt her liberty slipping
from her without ever coming to the
moment when she could make a stand
and say: 81 will not

They seemed to live simply for Ida's
pleasure. They had not wish which

might propose had but one object-the

amiable. they made a decided contrast
with Gerald Frobisher, who was gen.
orally the very reverse Of amiable, with
certain arbitrariness of manner-a
certain subacidity of accent, that was
less reassuring than threatening
less enticing than compelling. "The

her pretty Italian way-her very dis

praise; and-"Ah! he Is your typical
Englishman who does not understand
love and would beat his wife or sell her
for so much and 50 much"-as the young
baron would say, with that little shud-
der which expresses so much, general

Pretty girls with good fortunes and
susceptible temperaments need careful
guardianship in smart hotels where
society is mixed and credentials are not
always forthcoming. Harpies of both
sexes abound; and more than one good
bag has been made for the benefit of
the fowler and the ruin of the victim
always under cover of fine manners
and high-sounding names. This being
So it was a little doubtful If Mrs
Brand was the right kind of guardian
for Ida Maynard. A lady-like woman
who had less self-respect than com
plaisance, and whose capacity for be-
lief was as large as her power of dis
elimination was small, had a burden of
responsibility rather heavier than she
could bear in the charge of pretty
young person of romantic tendencies
and handsome income. And more
than one of Idas old family friends la
mented the chain Of circumstances
which had driven her into Mrs. Brands
nerveless hands as the sole guardian
ship she had. So far, however no
harm had come to the young heiress
with a chaperon who never thwarted
her. but also who never knew when the
ice was thin or when there were
rocks ahead.
The hotel was crowded, and the com
pany was of the gayest. Butterflies
sporting with one another among the
flowers best expressed their general
condition, and, because the place was
so overfiowing and the salle-a-manger
had not space for universal segrega-
ton, the small tables usually given up
to two or three were perforce tenanted
by five or six. Whence resulted init
macies which were sometimes danger
Gus even when most delightful.
The hotel was crowded, and there
was not space for segregation in the
salle-a-manger. Owing then to this
congestion the maitre d-hotel, with
bows and apologies, begged to be al
lowed to place three charming people at
the table of the young heiress and her
chaperon. They were all that he had
of most CONNIE IL faut on his list; and he
was sure that in asking this accommo-
dation he was doing nothing that
would be displeasing to madame or
mademoisele.
That evening, then, at dinner three
strangers were at 1da's table, and the
mental stock-taking began.

And again mother and son exchanged
glances, and the smile that just lifted
the corner of each well-shaped but
over-fleshy mouth meant Good so
far" Winged if not yet bagged"
would have been an Englishman's
formula.
The morning had passed into the
early afternoon without untoward ac-
cident of any kind-unless Gerald Fro
bisher's temper might be called unto
ward. Never remarkable for amiabili-
ty, today it was of the vilest kind to be
found. His rough life and adventurous
experiences seemed to have hardened
him to so much granite-granite
abraded at all four corners and full of
jagged edges and woundng spikes Ii
served, however to bring out into
greater relief the sweet courtesies and
graceful plasticities of the baron,
whose whole energies seemed devoted
to the one desire to please and enter
tain the signorlna, to do as she de-
sired 49, to anticipate her unspoken
wishes and make her feel that she was
the main object of his thoughts and
the-as yet Observation-Disclosures of his
heart and life. His gentleness, his un-
failing good humor, the skill with
which he parried Gerald's rougher on
slaughts-but in the parrying inham-
ing the Englshmans anger still more,
thus putting him for ever more and
more in the wrong-his caressing eyes
and musical voice, his subtle tender
ness, all stole over Ida as some irresist-
ible charm, some powerful spell spoken
by a potent magician. For one of the
few times in her young life she con-
templated her wealth with a glow of
pride and delight, and rejoiced that
she was free, rich and the mistress of
her own destiny.
All this Gerald saw and understood.
And the feelings which this knowledge
reused in him were akin to those with
which he had defied savage chief at
the head of his tribe, stalked "A rogue
elephant circumvented "A man-eating
tiger, fought single-handed with n
cobra, or looked for whipsnakes In the
grass that he might crush them before

not by the same methods as those with

The object of tlha expedition had

In the sweetest ointments turks at
times that intrusive fly. Through the
most harmonious combination of cir

coterie, formed by chance, was no eX-

came from the Englishman. From the
first he seemed to have translated his
condition as compatriot into the priv
ileges of a friend and the duties of
guardian. He drew an invisible line
of possession round Ida and Mrs.
Brand; and before they well knew that
he had cast his shoe over them he was
