CHAPTER w.
Danger Signals.

A week later Hollywood returned
from the frontier to take up his APP
pointment in the guard. Advised by a
note from Wallenloup that his quarters
were not yet in readiness for him at
the palace, he drove direct to the Con-
tinental on his arrival in Revonde.
Here presently Counsellor dropped in
upon him. Rallywood was in his dress
ing-room Transforming himself as rap
idly as possible into the likeness of an
English game-keeper; for a magnifi-
cent festivity in the shape Of masked
ball was about to take place at the
palace. All the world had been in
vited, and as many of the world as
could go were going. each with his or
her own dream or purpose, as the case
might be.
Major Counsellor sat and surveyed
his friend, occasionally Offering sugges-
tons and remarks.
Are you aware that the guard of
Nassau never condescends to show it,
self in Revonde in any costume but its
own blazing uniform? | see you have
your edition of it lying on the chair
over there. Why are you not con-
forming with its amiable peculiari-
ties?"
Hollywood had his back to Counsel
lor at the moment.
so l have heard, but l do not join
until tomorroy." he replied in an ex-
pressionless voice.
And your quarters in the palace?
How about them?'
Il shall also have the rooms tomor-
row." Then he wheeled around and his
eyes lit on his companion. "Hullo,
didn't notice you before. Is that your
notion of the gentle art of masquerade?
What are you meant to be-a sort of
Tommy Atkins
Il believe myself to be disguised as
an officer and "A gentleman" returned
Counsellor. rising to give Hollywood
the full effect of his sturdy figure, clad
in the uncompromising scarlet so dear
to his country's heart. This is the
uniform of the Thirtieth dragons, as
worn in or about the year of grace

Counsellor nodded. And my grand
father's;" adding: Whats the matter
with the dress?"
Nothing" said Hollywood, laughing
Perhaps l imagined on an occasion of
this kind you might possibly stoop to
something more misleading than this
blatantly British get-up.'
What were you expecting-a trOu-
badour? / am satisfied to appear
in my own character. Only pro-
portion of the people wear masks at this

ball; it's an annual affair. Besides, life
with a purpose is too wearing: one
must always be on the alert. and have
the purpose in view, like the actor in
six-penny theatre, who plays up to
the gallery and keeps his eye open for
the rotten eggs of his enemy. The egg
may not be thrown, but he must be
ready to dodge it all the same And

He put himself to the trouble of
mentioning that fact to you, did he?

surfing my life. Anything might happen
to man of whom he has so villainous
an opinion
Hollywood was arranging his CATERS.
Why? You don't suppose Selpdorf is
going to throw the egg? He spoke of
you with absolute affection
My good John, he has already
thrown it, Now I must harass myself
to find out the reason" said Counsellor.

CHAPTER v.
Good Luck and a Firefiy

| Meanwhile Hollywood had come to
an anchor beside one of the high en-
bossed doors of gold and Slhite which
led from the gallery into various luxu-
rious Withdrawing rooms. AS he leaned
against the Intel a voice suddenly said
in his ear, as it seemed:
My dear lady, wry have such scru-
pies? They are the most detestable
things in life, and the least profitable
They poison pleasure even when they
do not altogether deprive us of it. And
what does one gain by them? Abso-
lutely nothing, not so much as the good
opinion of our friends. who can never
be brought to believe we possess them,
said man in a hooking tone.
A distinctly uncomfortable sensation
pervaded Rallywood's mind for the sec
ond which preceded the reply. The
voice was Baron Won Elmur's, and
there was a note of admiration in it
that he had reason to be acquainted
with.
A woman laughed, light, provoking
laugh. Hollywood, who was still held
by the crush against the door. knew it
well. but he breathed freely, for it was
not the laugh he had feared to hear
Nevertheless, baron, l like scruples;
they are always respectable and. there

swered, in a high, sweet tone.

not found them indispensable in his
career"
But he is not a woman!" with
sigh.
"A beautiful woman can dispense
with everything eXcept-her beauty,
That makes fools of us all, Besides
The rest of the sentence was lost. as
Hollywood managed at length to force
his way through the crowd, which was
thickening rapidly.
Then he came upon. a group of men
he knew, men from the frontier. from
the marshes about Kofn ford and the
crags of Pulesco, men with tanned
skins like his own, and the mark OF
the collar rim of their high military
tunics round their threats. They We're

inal characters, and We're enjoying
themselves hugely. More than all were
they astonished at being recognized so
readily by Hollywood. Hollywood drew
his finger round his throat by way of
explanation. There was a general
laugh and the men scattered, each to
seek his own particular pleasure. Raj
lywood remained looking down on the
dancers. There was in the back of
his mind some desire TO identify the
lady whose glove was still in his pos
session. He fixed now on one tall dom
mo. now on another. but without sat
isfaction. He was discontentedly com
ing to the point of knowing that he
had made a fresh mistake, when he
turned his head abruptly. with a vague
sense of being looked at, and saw a
black domino standing for an instant
alone at the further end of the gallery.
Even under the muffiing silken folds
he fancied he recognized the attitude of
the girl he had met at the chancel-
lor's.
He at once began to make his way
through the crowd in her direction, but
when next he looked she was gone. He
descended to the saloon, where he
danced with more than one masked
lady. His six feet of stature marked
him out from the shorter Maasauns.

Deafness Cannot He Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf

this tube gets lntlamed you have a
