TOILETTE WAS FIRST TO GIVE
THEM WINE.
He united it, and was gratifed to dis
ocver that no serious damage had been
accomplished by Mon Oncle.
AS he lay there winking amiably in
the sunlight he heard somebody about
in the next room. Without moving he
opened his mouth and called.
"Bourke."
"Hello," came the answer.
What time is it?''
Half past Z. I'm nearly dressed"
rs today Saturday,"
Saturday, 10th OF September. 1870, $
replied Bourke. A moment later he ap-
peared at the door and inquired:
''How's your noddle?'
"All right" yawned HARDWOOD.
"How's your OWN"
Beurke sat down at the foot of the
bed and buttoned his collar, whistling
gaily.
Il saw Shannon and Malet last
night he said. II met them on the
Boulevard Montparnasse after l stabbed
the horses. They are coming this morn
ing. 1 asked them to wire Stauffer and
Speyer.."
Go on
Hardwood shifted.
''Stauffer seems to be all right" he
observed, but can't stand Speyer."
Il don't like Speyer any better than
you do, but we can't leave him out of
a conference. What we've got to do is
to hold a conference. I've telegraphed
Winston and Sutherland. The whole
crowd is to meet here at 10 o'clock this
morning" Hardwood rubbed his bat
tered head thoughtfully.
LAS for me-" continued Bourke, 81

''What?"
This: I'm going to stay in Paris.
The Times has sent me out to get all
the news 1 can-and get it as soon as
1 cam"
And transmit it as soon as you get
it,
Exactly"
Which you can't do if you're cooped
up in Paris. You'd better come to st.
Cloud"
Nobody is going to be cooped up in
Paris The fighting will be done here,
and the fellows who leave Paris will
miss the whole show. You will be bad
ly fooled, my son, if you let Winston
or old Sutherland persuade you to
leave Paris"
Shannon and Malet won't stay
Yes they will. l don't care what
Speyer does-I hope he gets out-but,
won't thank you for leaving Paris just
as the orchestra is tuning up for the
overture"
But" persisted the other, eff we
make our headquarters at st. Cloud
or Versailles, we can see the entire
circus, and also have the wires when
we want them"
mo, we can't replied Bourke eff
Paris is surrounded by the German

the path of investment. Your instruc-
tionS and mine are to stay with the
French army. How can we, if we go to
Versailles?''
We'll" said Hardwood, II want to
hear what the other fellows say, and
that ought to carry some weight with
you, 100" he added. Every big jour
nal in New York will be represented"
And some little ones, too"
"Oh, you mean Speyer's?"
Bourke nodded and rose.
Come, jump up" he said, heres
your tub. had all our things brought
over last night. Shall I pour the water
in? There you are. Now, hurry-and
forgot to tell you that 1 have made
to take our meals in the
house. 1t saves time
Hardwood looked up at him.
Yes, it saves time Where do we
take our breakfast, for example, with
our hostess?"
Down stairs. of course said Tourke
briskly. 1T will be ready before you
are. Get up" He went into his own
room, whistling and Hardwood sprang
out of bed and looked at his naltreated
head in the mirror.
Lucky it wasn't my nose" he re-
fected, "since I'm to breakfast with
young ladies'"
When he had bathed and dressed,
and stood again before the looking
glass, parting and repairing his hair,
Bourke came and stood in the door
way. He was particularly well groom
ed and evidently aware of it.
THE one saiG Hardwood, making a
automatically equal division of his
hair-"the one with the dark eyes, you
is her name, Bourke.''
Hide" said Bourke reflectively.
"F1ilde-what?
''Hilde Chalais. Don't pretend you've
forgotten
rs she the older or the younger?"
They're twins"
How the devil did you find all that
out?"
81 don't know" said Bourke sincere
", really l don't know Somehow or
other they told me. 1 saw them last
night when l came back from the

There was a silence. Then Hardwood

funny. anyway. 1t seems we are liv-
ng over a bird store. They told me the |
story. Do you want to hear it?"
Go on
We'll, it appears that these two
young girls have been keeping house
