will be angry. Oh. why did go? 1t was

Dick tried to soothe her, to reassure
her; the chain was too valuable for q
cabman or waiter to dare to retain it;
it must be returned
"What time does Mr.. Linton return?"
"By the 1880. Oh, what shall do?"
BE good child and eat some break
fast. I'll run o6 to make inquiries, and
before you have finished your coffee the
pearls shall be here"
His inquiries proved futile, as he
feared in his owp mind they would.
Nothing had been seen. nothing had
been found. There was.only one thing
possible-to return to the hotel and
ascertain if Trinette knew whence the
jewels had como. and try to procure
another chain n any cost.
Fresh tears greeted the news of Dicks
failure. and there vas really nothing
possible but to attempt to comfort her
q one would q child-only, the child

"But We mus: not forget the pearls,''
he said at last. .You have no idea
where they came from the name was
not on the case?"
Tiinette shook her head mournfully.
"Well l dare say can get something
like thew in the Rue de Ia Paix. Don't
worry, dearest; you shall have them in
an hour"
"And il you fail?''
bah! shall not fail"
A few minutes later he was standing
in q jewsler's shop describing the sort
OF thing he wanted. Yes. they had
something Of the kind in stock. Dick
looked at it; the pearls seemed smaller
AMI the diamands farther apart, than
in the one 1rinette had worn; but surely
he would find no better substitute, and
how was Linton to imagine it was any
other than the one he had given his
wife?
The price staggered Dick somewhat,
prepared as he had been for long one.
He wrote his cheque, waited impatlently
during the necessary formalities, and at
last hurried back to the hotel 1t was
past l. despite his haste, and Linton
would have returned?
Trinette met him on the landing, her
finger to her lips. He held out the case
in silence; she caught it from him
quickly.
At dinner the Lintons were not to be
seen. Dick was restless and uneasy,
and strolliug into the hall chatted with
the concierge, slipping in a careless
question about his friends.
The big Englishman and la petite
dame? They left by the afternoon ex-
press for the SOUTH"
Dick gasped. and the conversation
with the concierge came to an abrupt
conclusion. For weeks he fingered on
at the Grand. hoping Trinette would
write and give some account OF her
movements. But nothing came until
months afterward, when in the Paris
column Of London paper he read ofthe
arrest Of pair Of clever swindlers with
many aliases, one OF which was Linton.
The woman turned upon her accomplice
and gave details of several of their
most successful frauds, among which
figured the story Of a palais Royal neck.

But Why should they? Besides. every

glanced mischievously at her compan-

your mind and say when you vail come. "
She hesitated q moment. Il cont

do % want to 20! Hush! here is Phi Hip.
I'll write to you."
At this moment Mr.. Linton joined
them. and after few general remarks,
Dick Rsdmayne bowed goodnight and
strolled Of into the courtyard OF the
hotel to drink his coffee in the open.
sWill she come. / wonder?" he asked
himself, - he slipped bis chasse-cafe. and
let his eyes wander idly on the busy
chattering crowd Of Parisians who
sauntsred to and fro on pleasure bent.
Dick had declared to himself Q hum
dred times within the last three weeks
that he IVES not in love. A man who
respected himself and regarded his
peace of mind did not fall in love with
other mems wives. he told himself en-
phatically; yet all the while he was
conscious that he vas too keenly alive
TO Mrs. Linton's attractions to be be
quite safe. They had met in the Ri
visra; happened to be staying in the
same hotel, neighbors at table d'hote,
and that sort Of thing. No man with
eyes in his head could help seeing that
the piquant little dark woman with the
bear Of . husband was more than
commonly pretty. The acquaintance
had ripened. Mrs. Linton had pretty
childish ways. and their conversation
had gradually passed from the common
place into the confidential; he knew
that she was q French Canadian,
brought up in the strictest seclusion
and married Oh hand as soon a. she
had merged into long frocks to a man
old enough to be her father, and who

thought that solemn chap had it in him
to make such presents"
Wasn't it sweet Of him to give me
such lovely thing!" And then without
waiting for an answer. she glided Of
again to some other subject.
It was strange evening altogether
for Dick Redmayne-the tete-a-tete
dinner, the concert at the AmbassHdeurs
with Trinette's little gurgles Of
suppressed laughter, and small efforts
at being shocked; the snug supper
afterward, and then the discreet parting
on her etage. when he held her hand

eyes, trusting land surely something

Itwas 4 unique experience. he told
himself. and only to be accounted for
by Trinette's naive innocence and child

that he was not in love with her; his
assertion no longer carried conviction.

eyes, her cooling voice, her pretty, i'm
pulsive ways. At last he fell asleep,
only to dream sweet dreams which
turned to hideous nightmare
always by the sudden appearance Of
Phillip Linton upon the scene.
His servant woke him on entering
with his letters. Dick turned them
over listlessly, when his eye was caught
by an unstamped one. 1t was surely in
Trinette's handwriting; he tore it open
hastily:
"For PHYS sake. come to me; come
to me; l am in dreadful trouble-T,"
In trouble? Since last night? What
could have happened! Had Linton re-
turned during their absence? As he
dressed hastily he cursed himself for his
selfish folly in having allowing Tricette's
innocence to lead her into such q sit

For 4 couple Of days. however, PHILLIP

AMBASSADOR RuNYoN DEAD.
The End Came Suddenly in BerliI
From Heart Disease.

The End Came Suddenly In Berlin
From Heart Disease.
Mr.. Theodore Runyon, United States am
bassador to Germany, died suddenly at Ber-
lin yesterday morning, at 1 o'clock, from an
attack of heart disease. He had been In
poor health for some time past, but no i'm
mediately fatal results were anticipated
Last Tuesday evening he was present at a
dinner given in his honor by ex-Empress
Frederick, mother Of the emperor. Upon
the advice Of his physician, he took the cure
at Carlsbad last summer, and subsequently
went to AXenstein, Switzerland to take the
after-cure. He appeared to be much bene-
fitted by his experiences, and entered upon
the discharge of his important diplomatic
functions with renewed vigor. Existing
complications between the United States
and Germany in regard to the removal of
the restrictions imposed upon American
pork and beef products had engaged the
principal attention Of Ambassador Runyon
Of late, and had made his duties more on
erous than usual
Theodore Runyon was born at Somerville,
N. j., October 25. 1922. He graduated from
Yale College in 1912, and in 1916 was admit
ted to the bar In 1855 he was made city
attorney, and in 1856 city councillor of New
ark, N. J.,a position he retained UNTIL in 1864,
he became mayor of the city. He was ap-
pointed in 1856 commissioner to revise and
codify the military laws of New Jersey and
Accs
sequently major general of the New Jersey
National Guard.
At the outbreak of the civil war he was
placed in command of New Jersey brigade
of volunteers. In 1865 he was the democrat tic
candidate for governor of his state, but was
rot elected. From 1878 to 1887 he was chan
cellor Of New Jersey. In March, 1893, he was
appointed by President Cleveland United
States minister to Germany, and shortly
afterward was made ambassador. Degrees
of IL D. were conferred upon him by Yale
Rutgers and Wesleyan colleges.
Mr.. Runyon was the successor of William
Walter Phelps who had held the place OF
German minister for four years. He was q
gallant soldier, and Fort Runyon, on the
Alexandria railroad, at the south end of the

be carried out. He regarded the law as of
the greatest Importance to the future of the
city.
NJ. M. Parker said that If the highway law
was unconstitutional in any of it's features
it should be amended SO as to correct these
defects. He believed that the law should
be carried out, and that legislation should
be asked for this purpose.
In the opinion of w. Riley Deeble, it was
fortunate that man as competent as Judge
Cox was called upon to pass upon the law
at this stage, for defects could then be as
certained and corrected by legislation. He
did not think that this decision was a death
blow to the law, but that it could be put in
such shape that 1T could be carried out.
