kindly send me a raw steak That Will

raised a small vinagrette, such as
women use, under GoOdenough's nose
while saying this, and the pungent
salts helped to clear his.head What
a pleasant evening this has been for
you, / seem to be the favorite OF For
tune tonight and you the victim.
Thank you for saving my life just now
That may be some consolation after
your previous efforts in my direction
Are you all right?
Yes" said GoOdenough, though he
was feeling all wrong, his brain thrce-
hing and a dull pain i'll his head But
the-that man, Where is he? That
was the fellow who was with her to
night. Look out for him.
My dear fellow, l have looked out
for him. said Prince Malatofsky, Smll-
ing gently. He is lying in there and
he gave a careless side-nod toward the
sittinS-room, with an undigeSted Dull
let in his system. 1 imagined he might
be a friend OF Oiga's. This is her
field-day. The beggar died in great
pain, l am happy to say, and curslnS
me in a very imDolitic way. He was
not a thoroughbred like olga We
found a ticket on him for Montreal.
She is probably on her way there, and
VIII wait for him in that city, If she
sure himself of the success of your en-
beavers in behalf of that lady. When
he saw that they mad failed he at
tempted this reckless coup How
pleased Olga Baranoff will be when
she learns that she would have sue
ceeded in blowing me TO atoms but for
you, and that this beggar would have
killed me except for your friendly
presence.
But now, my dear fellow said
Prince Malatofsky, with business-like
directness, I have got to go to police
headquarters with the officer out there,
to send advices along the route to have
my active countrywoman arrested al
the first point they can grab her. l
shall try to see if I can prevent our
passing the night in a station house.
1t is too bad that your kindness should
have led you into such a middle, but,
of course, / cannot regret il too deeply
and ] know YOU are too good TO do
so. This vinaigrette." he said, with
genuine look OF merriment, as he held
up the dainty bauble, lis the fair
Olga'S. 1t has most appropriately
helped to revive you For she can't
have any ill-will toward you. You did
your best to help her, as long as YOU
could"
1t was proven later that she hadn't
any ili-will toward him. For when
that fragile, modest young woman was
assigned to Siberia for a life-reSidence
as the ultimate outcome of that hot
days Vaccinations, before she Obvi-
ated the need of so tiresOme a journey
by poisoning herself, she wrote a letter
to Goddard GoOdenough which brought
out strongly a graceful trait in her sin
gularly composite character. In it she
Geplored with perfect simplicity that
she should have been forced to SEEM
inely misuse the noble kindness he had
SO chiValrouSly shown to her in her
distress. In the same breath in which
she deprecated his entertaining any
harsh feeling toward her. since in very
truth, she felt his kindness deeply, she
declared that she would die with glad
ness could she have the crowning bliss
o. holding for one moment 2 dagger in
Ter hand whose blade was buried in
Malatofsky's heart
She had sworn 10 the dark man. her
associate, whom she had ever kept at
arms length though he was madiy in
love with her, that in case of GoOde-
nOugh'S failure, if he would secure her
this happiness, even vicariousl-, she
would marry him at once.
GOodenough has not wholly abiured
being kind, but he is more warily be-
nevolent- He is a stanch friend of
Prince MalatofSky, who does not take
it at all i'll that he is very fond of
wearing his opal scarf-pin. GoOde-
nough also preserves Olga Baranoff's
letter as a reminder of the most excit-
ing evening of mis- life. In the begin
ming, he used to feel that he ought to
check an inclination to think with pity
OF the poor lady but later, he deliber-
ately admitted this feeling of compass
sion for her as perpetual inmate of
his heart. This again is due to his
kindness without doubt
