At this moment an attendant appeared
with card upon salver. Selpdorf read
the name with the faintest contraction OF
his brows.

said; II must ask you to wait in the ante

Hollywood understood that each of these

To do Hollywood justice, he was far more

CHAPTER III.
GA Gentleman of the Guard :,

shortly before $50 Hollywood presented
hlmseir at the, granite palace, with its four
cupolas, which M. Selpdorf occupied in his
capacity of first minister of state After
some slight delay he was ushered into a
comfortable study where he found Se1pdorf
with reading lamp at his elbow CHANGING
rapidly through mass of papers that he
threw one after another with apparent
carelessness on the floor beside him.
The chancellor of a small state might
very well have been pardoned had he intro
duced certain amount of what an old off,
cial used to call desk dignity Into his
dealings with those who approached him.
but Selpdorf habitually affected an easy
manner and an easy chair. He was a mid
die-sized man. possessed of a very round
head, bald at the crown, but having still
lock of dark hair on the summit of his round
forehead: very round eyes set far back in
smooth holes showing little lid; nose blunt
and thick over lips that might have been

he could see that there was no person Wis
ible throughout it's entire length.
Then, his gaze travelled back it rested
on something which had certainly not been
lying where he now saw it at the time
Of his entrance.
Not six PAGES behind him, stretched
across the dark carpeting, in the very CEN
ter of the pillared vista, lay woman's
long glove.
A womans glove possesses a peculiar
charm for all men. Perhaps it suggests
some of the sweet mystery of womanhood
The first action of most young men in
RallyWOod'S place would have been to
raise it at once and to examine it, as
though in some impalpable manner it could
tell something of its unknown wearer, who
might turn out to be the Hathor, the one
woman in the world
But the circumstances of Ralywood's
life, and perhaps, ALSO some exclusive ele-
ment in his character had heretofore set
him rather apart from the influence of wo-
men. He had grown to regard them with
out curiosity, which Is the last stage in
difference can reach.
1t must be admitted that 1t was with a
feeling akin to repugnance that he at last
lifted the long, soft, pale-hued, family
scented suede from the floor and dangled
it at unnecessary distance from his
eyes, holding it as he did so daintily be-
tween finger and thumb. It's subtle appeal
to his senses as man failed to reach him.
1t simply aroused an old feeling of reserve
toward the sex 1t represented. His face
altered slightly and he dropped 1t sud
denly with AM odd expulsion, as he might
have dropped 81 snake, on couch near by
Then he resumed his chair and turned
his back uponit, till the reflection that the
woman to whom it belonged must have
come and gone while he sat thinking with
his back to the corridor sent him wheeling
round again. II
The glove still lay where he had placed
it on the edgeGof the couch, palm upward
and with suggestion of helplessness and
pleading 1t annoyed him unreasonably.
He frowned and looked at his watch. Half
an hour had passed since Selpdorf dismissed
him. u Il
At that moment gutteral voice broke
the silence of the house and a heavy cur
tain over the door at the nearer end Of the
anteroom was thrust back by brusoue
hand, and TALL high-shouldered, handsome
man, dressed as IL he We're about to attend
some court function, stood in the opening.
Behind him Hollywood caught sight of q
Hurried and explanatory lackey.
"Ah, so I have lost my way after ALL
said this parsonage in a bland voice "A
mistakel But / hope you will accord me
your forgiveness, mademoiselle?"
Rallywood sprang to his feet at this most
UNEXPECTED ending and looked around.
Close beside him stood a tall girl wrapped
in long cloak of fur. and amber velvet.
She was singularly beautiful, with a pale,
clear-hued beauty. Her black, long-lashed
eyes were on him and they were full of
laughter.
Enter, them baron." said the girl, elanc-
ing across at the courtier. Did vol, guess
you would find me here, or were you seek

hand toward Hollywood.

cation, but he described himself as a bird

pean capital simply meant whim or pleas
ure for he was growing old and lazy, and
could not be brought to account for his
wanderings, which, he assured those who
ventured to inquire. were chiefly under

wherever he went came something in

often than not in favor of British inter-
ests-was almost sure to happen.
In former days he had filled the position
of military attache to two or three of the
more important embassies. and was said to
be the best known man in Europe. He had,
moreover, the right to carry upon his
breast the ribbon and decoration of more
than one exclusive and distinguished order.
VI the many rumors associated with him
TINS saying was certainly true, that one
could never enter the smoking room of any
