CHAPTER V.
THE MIRRORED FACE.

l.
The household duties finished. the
birds RECALLED with seed and water. Yo-
lette went out, as she always did, into
the tangled garden for romp with
Scheherazade, calling Hide tofollow But
Hide had slipped away to her own
silent chamber where, in the half light,
pale sun spots moved on the lowered
curtains and one dusky sunbeam slant
ed through the dusk.
She sank into an easy chair, head
thrown back, eyes wide open, gazing
at nothing-at the notes sitting
through the bands of sunlight-at the
tracery of a vine outside the Window
sill. Swallowed on the lowered curtain,
that moved when breezes swayed the
leaves But she saw neither shadoY
nor sunlight, nor the white walls Of the
ROOM cor the white curtains of the
bed. There was but one thing before
her eyes-Harewood's face. bending
close to hers-closer still-and she lay
back in the chair, breathless, fasci-
rated
CONSERVATION for what she had done
gave place TO wonder. She strove to
understand why-she attempted 20 be-
gin at the beginning of things. The be-
ginning Of things, for her. was not far
away-scarcely an hour back. And yet
it was no tse-no use to try TO ;emem-
Der how it had happened.
A passing cloud blotted the dappled
sunshine from the curtains; the room
grew very dim and still. An apathy,
mental and physical, fell upon her; her
eyes dropped until the dark lashes
rested on her checks; her limbs seemed
heavy and numb.

CHAPTER IV-coNrINuED.

CHAPTER IV.-CONTINUED.
Bourke and Hardwood walked out TO
the front door. and sat down on the
step.
After a short period of meditation.
Bourke said:
Jim. do you agree with me in saying
that our hostesses are as innocent as
two white kittens?"
why white kittens?" asked Hare
wood argumentatively, and added, OF
course they are"
.'Wen.' continued Bourke, because
they are so innocent it would be a
shame to disturb them-I mean TO at
tempt any fool Irritation. Wouldn't it?'
4 don't see why you say that to
me-" said HARDWOOD, sharply.
81 only meant-for myself, as we'll as
you-that we've got to be careful You
know as well as 1 do that that what
is called Irritation in America is not
understood in France. They would take
anything like that seriously"
Hardwood was silent
''Of course. I'm more or less suscep-
tible to a pretty face, continued
BoUrke, so are you, if your reputation
doesn't belle you
Let my reputation alone" interrupt
ed Hardwood.
yes. it's not a subject for analyti-
cal discussion. AS l say, I'm not in
sensible myself: but in this case We
in short-we absolutely must not make
asses of ourselves
What's the matter with you?" asked
Hardwood, GROSSLY.
1.-The matter is that / think we had
better be clear about this situation from
the beginning. Heaven knows we shall
be busy enough with our own affairs

CHAPTER VI.
IN THE CITY.

As Hardwood crossed the rue dYpres
and passed along the facade of the bar
racks opposite the rue Malaise he met
the Mouse face to face.
or he cried, 80 you're the gentleman
who broke my head, Now-do you know
i think I'll break yoursr'
The Mouse's face expressed not only
genuine amazement, but righteous indig-
natien, and his -protestations of inno-
cence appeared to be so sincere that
Hardwood hesitated. one hand twisted in
the fellows collar. the other drawn back
for q hearty cuff.
Monsieur" nnoaned the Mouse in ac-
cents of panied establishment what is it

old and stained by the sweat of labor
Here. he relapsed into snivel
Harewood's hand fell from the Mouse
throat. de looked at the fellow puzzled
and undecided but not convinced, The
Mouses right hand began to move, very
slowly, almost imperceptibly, toward his
tattered pocket.
Monsieur. he whined L am over
GOMEZ am hurt-I am
Hardwood sprang back in the nick of
time as knife flashed close to his eyes.
''Tiens pour tot! Va dons. cretini"
muttered the Mouse darting at him
again, and again Hardwood leaped back
before the broad glitter of the knife
Then. in a moment. the Mouse turned,
scuttled across the street and fled down
the rue Malaise: after aim sped two
police agents, f1ourishing their short
swords and filling the silent street with
cries of "A rassassinl A rassassinr' =
Hardwood: much interested and ex-
cited, watched the flight of the Mouse
with mingled feelings of uneasiness and
admiration rhe scanty crowd that
gathered along the line of pursuit took
up the cry like pack of lank hounds.
and Hardwood. whose character was
composed of acknowledgements whose
sporting instincts were always with the
under dog. found himself watching the
Mouses flight with a sudden sympathy
for the tattered creature. The Mouse
ran. doubled. twisted and wriggleG into
the Passage de fOmbre. the pack at his
heels. and Hardwood FASTENED back. to-
ward the rue YDres. knowing that the
Mouse must pass there again.
AS Harevood stood at the head of the
street. suddenly the Mouse rounded the
corner and to Barewoods surprise came
straight toward him. His face was bag
gard and dusty. his legs dragging. his
single eye bloodshot and slnken He had
thrown away the knife. his cap was
gone and his greasy coat streamed out
behind him, laying hare bony throat.
When he say Hardwood there came over
his face such look of blank despair that
the young fellows heart melted. At the
same moment they both caught the roar
of the crowd sweeping through the Rue
d'Ypres.
That the Mouse expected Hardwood to
trip him up as he passed was evident, for
he swerved out into the street on the
right.

In the absurdity' of the situation his

The luncheon was a modest affair; a
bottle of white wine. frothy omelette, a
bit of rye bread nothing more. But to
Hardwood. sitting there opposite Hide,
it was enough. If Hide appeared charm

in her shy mirth. Moreover he had new

down on the steps and swore under his

and ashamed.

a low, voice, that was a confession
not a boast I'm id sorry-she looked
SO dainty and Sweet-you know how

"Oh, hang it ALL" burst out Bourke.
"What do 1 care? If girl let's man

Hardwood wanted to speak, but Cecil
interrupted him.
II was mistaken in the girl, that's
all. She looks as innocent as a white
kitten behind a milk jug-and she is
Just as innocent. They're all alike, any
way. Go on and spoon if you choose,
it's none of my business
Hardwood murmured: Cecil, you

No interrupted Bourke, I don't

a selfish pastime. this useless awaken

is that you and Hide viii get into a

queer light flashed in his eyes for mo-

close together when that id monkey

Cecil. morosely.
You're the only man who has ever

Washington, May SIT can be stated
with authority that Secretary Alger will
continue to serve as secretary of war and
that all reports of a purpose on his part
to resign are absolutely without fOunda-

said that it is the earnest wish of the
president that Secretary Alger should re-
main 18th his administration.
The president and the secretary of
war are in thorough accord. and the lat
ter has not thought of resigning. He is
pushing the army end of the war move
ment with energv and effectiveness and
is performing his duties intelligently, pa
triotically and TO the entire satisfaction
of the president whose entire confidence
he enjoys Based on the fact that the
secretary's health was impaired last win
ter by an attack of the grip. rumOrS have
been circulated persistenly of his retire
ment from the cabinst. The positive state
ment that these are baseless is therefore
authorized to put them to rest.

must ask your advice on very grave
question. How are we to address you
Yolette or Nile. Hilde?"
You may take your choice?" said
Hide with bright smile, because you
feel millions of years older than Yolette"
Yolette protested Indignantly, and for
a moment they all three chartered like
each other until Yoette fled TO the garden
again. her hands pressed over both ears.
Well said Hardwood, nobody has
answered M question after all.
Hides eyes were brilliant and her
cheeks aglow as she watched Yolette
through the window.
Perhaps 1t would be simpler" said

eyes. vague and sweet. under their silken

oh stammered Hide, 1T is merely
matter OF convenience, isn't it?" She
had not meant to say that, either.
"Of course" he replied.
They closed the window and stepped
back into the room. After a moment s
silence, Hide said: IF you are going
into the city, will you do something for
me?"
Indeed 1 WILL" he answered quickly,
touched by the sudden confidence. She
handed him a coiT-a silver franc. Her
face grew serious.

I'VE could not give il last week The
bureau is opposite the Luxembourg pal
ace. Will you drop 1t into the box?''
Yes he replied gravely,
THANK you. Shall you come back to
dinner?''
He said yes lingering at the door.
Suddenly that same impulse seized him
to take her in his arms again. The blood
stun@ his cheeks as his eyes met hers
Her head dropped little. He knew she
would not resist. He knew already she
felt he caress of his eyes The color
deepened and paled in her cheeks, but he
did not STIR
Presently he heard voice-h.s own
voice-saying: "Then-adieu monsieur"
a moment later he was in his own
room, standing before the mirror, facing
his own reflection with a lighter heart
than he had carried for many a day.
Damn iti' he said, shaking his fist at
the mirrored face. "Tll show you who is
master!'' The form in the glass smiled
back, shaking a clenched hand.
