him to revisit Cannes in the company
{ of his relative, Norton, and now, as
he sat watching the dancers under the
palm trees in the starlight, the spirit
moved him to be confidential.
He lit cigarette and blew slowly
up into the night air. A curious visit
fulness passed into his gray eyes and
softened the lines of his mouth under
the closely trimmed golden brown mus
tache.
'It's odd," he began dreamily, "but

seats at neighboring table. "The
whole thing only lasted six weeks"
"Your wife is dead, then? Old

A Romance Of Confetti.


"Confound the confetti! I've swal-
lowed about half pound. We shall
find the things sticking in our clothes
for months"
Eyes; they're small but insidious.
You have no idea Of the mischief one
Of these scraps Of paper can do"
The speakers were two fresh colored,
good looking Englishmen, wearing
light overcoats and dress clothes and
drin4ing their after dinner coffee out
side cafe at Cannes.
1t was $50 on an evening in the be-
ginning of February. Two days earlier
they had left their native London ankle
deep in slush and dirty snow and veil
ed in sulphurous fog. Here in favored
Cannes they sat beneath sapphire
sky, fecked with diamond stars, and
watched the carnival maskers in their
gay costumes of stuff or satin dancing
upon the asphalt which surrounded the
band kiosk and even pirouetting gayly
upon the open road.
ALI around them were life and color,
laughter and movement, the sound of
many languages intermingled in gay
banter, the democratic jostling Of Pie
rots and Pierettes in satin with white
capped market women, townsfolk in
cheap and gaudy dominos and tweed
clad tourists armed with guidebooks
and kodaks.
To Norton, the younger of the two
men, the scene had the charm of en-
tire novelty. At the battle of confetti
earlier in the day he had exhausted
himself by two hours and half of
confetti throwing under blazing sun,
and now, after an excellent dinner, he
was laughingly complaining of the con-
fetti which passersby every now and
then cast in the faces of the two friends
over their coffee.
Fleming, the elder Of the two and
the one who had complained of the
mischief making capabilities of the lit
tie paper missiles, was rich and indie
pendent and spent his time in perpetual
travel. Carnivals were nothing new
to him. and as rule he avoided them.

Don't you recognize me-? It was Ethel
Marlborough, an old sweetheart of
mine. We were engaged once, but she
was such a dirt she drove me half
mad, and broke it off. She was in a
mask and domino, but I knew her
voice in a moment.
Il felt NAMES grasp tighten on my
arm and saw her face change. don't
know whether Ethel knew 1 was mar
ried. The whole thing. had been very
sudden, and hope, for her sake, she
didn't. But, just to plague me, she
hung on to my arm and kept on whis-
pering about old times, and finally,
after I had broken away, declaring
did not know her, she slipped a scrap
of paper into my pocket and ran away
laughing. Mamie seized it and never
spoke word until we got to the hotel
Then in the presence of her mother she
opened it. 1t was nothing in the world
but a pink confetti disk, with the name
Ethel written across it, but it cut
short my happiness most effectively.
'"The two women worked themselves
up into scene. My explanations were
hardly listened to. Mamie was an i'm
pulsive, jealous child Of Is, and her
mother had always been against the
marriage. The end Of it was that they
left Cannes the next morning and re-
turned to the States without me. I
had put it to Mamie that she must
choose between her mother and me,
and she chose her mother.
"You know the rest. Three years
ago, hearing that her mother was dead,
was starting in search Of Mamie,
when I read by Inance in an American
paper that the daughter Of Comma
dore Grierson Chat was the name Oh

hope we might come together again,

cit must be awfully painful for you,"
Norton said sympathetically. "Were
you very fond of her?'
"She is the only woman ever really
cared a straw about or ever shall care"
He rose as he spoke, and the two
men strolled away. The little lady in
the blue domino at the adjoining table
stared intently after them. Then she
whispered something to her compan-
ions, from one of whom she borrowed
a pencil.
'"Those people who were at the next
table are following u.s." Norton pres
emily observed to his companion.
They're going to pelt us with con-
fetti, no doubt" Fleming returned in
differently.
AS he spoke he distinctly felt hand
thrust into the pocket of his overcoat.
1t was very little hand, as he found
when he seized it, and it was soft and
feminine. Its owner wore a blue
domino and wriggled her fingers clear
from his, leaving in his pocket a twist

The blood rushed to Fleming's face.
The situation of ten years ago was re-

lighted shop window, he unfolded the
paper and disclosed pink paper disk,

HO WOCTAVE WON.

Octave, AriZ., July 6.-On the Fourth the base ball welt by the close score of one run. The game was a very pretty exhibition of ball playing, and was thoroughly enjoyed by the large and occupied the surrounding kopjes. For some unexplained reason it was prearranged that seven innings should conclude the game. James, the Octave pitcher, held the Congress boys down to eight scattering hits, though he was very wild, sending no less than six men to first on called balls. Wescott, for Congress, pitched a good game up to the seventh inning, when he went to pieces, allowing Octave to make eight hits, which, sandwiched in with a couple of errors, netted Octave nine runs and the game.
 Congress was first to the bat, and made nine runs, while Octave came back with two talfies. But they could not get another man across the plate until the seventh inning, while Congress had increased their tally to ten. In the seventh, Warren, the first man up for Octave, got hit, but Dr. Dennett, the umpire. after making a diagnosis of his case, decided that he was not entitled to first base, and sent him back to the bat. His next effort was a little bounder between first and second, which Reese. Carroll and Wescott all tried to field. with the result that he runner was safe, and while they were chewing the rag Warren trekked to sec ond. Wescott next soaked James in the slats with the ball, and the Octave crowd yelled and caused the big crows that adorned the top of the grand stand to smile. This was more than Wescott could stand. Every man that came up after that sent up a skyrocket, a bomb shell or a fire cracker. After the agony was over, the scores figures up eight hits and nine runs. Octave pocketed the prize and went down town to enjoy themselves.
