q DIR. Dubassof and Count Louis Klapka

prietor, and Count Louis owned the
great estate OF Luvin, their boyish
friendship continued until both were In

spendthrift officer.
BY the time that Dubassof had be-
come richer than he ever expected to
be Count Louis had become poorer than
he had ever imagined. That Is, although
owning a splendid estate, he was often
embarrassed for money, and the life he
led at St. Petersburg with his youns
brother officers was calculated to re-
lieye him Of all his surplus revenue.
But he was so handsome, so captivat-
