You know yourself that Pelven was
killed. Roger came back that night
alone and grieved.
Who was the adversary of De Pei
ven? An officer? Yes. Who? | will
not tell YOU Only a few knew, and
the secret has been we'll kept. The
reason of the duel? Nothing, they said
"a trifie--but have always suspected
that somebody had accused him of
passing too easily across the frontier
alone at night.
The next day Pelven's aged father
came and took away the body. 1t
seems that all the affairs of the lieu
tenant were in perfect order. He must
have had preSentmcnt that he was
going to be killed, for the words on the
blackboard were in the nature of direc-
tons for his own burial. And that
was the end of the poor little made
mOiselle."
Two months passed. Spring came.
One day we all started on drag party
in the woods on the road to Dele. A
little before luncheon | went strolling
in che forest with two or three friends.
Suddenly we saw n landeau. drawn by
two beautiful horses, coming toward
us along a deserted road In the Ian
deau was an old, pale woman and a
young girl. pretty, clad in black. We
were turning out for them when a dog

nized it at once. 1t was Tigresse, the
| little bulldog-De Pelven's dog. While
he was Springing at us, licking our
hands for Joy, the landeau stopped
and great. gold braided valet stepped
out and solemnly picked up the dog
The little beast struggled, but in spite
of yelps, bowls and tugs the man prov
ed the stronger, and the landau pass
ed on.
Naturally we talked of the incident
What singular thng-Tigresse with
those strangers-strangers from over
the frontier too! The liveries are blue
and black-Prussian nobility"
Talking thus, we came back to the
rendezvous. There we found Louis de
Holk, one Of my friends, whose castle,
although in France, yet touches the
frontier We questioned him about
the landcau.
What, don't you know" he answer
ed. THAT is the Princess of Burgfeld,
with her dame de compagnie.' She is
doing penance in her 'schloss' instead
of dancing in Paris, as she generally
does in the spring. 1t is said that dur
ing the war she had a romance, de-
liciOus romance, with French lieuten-
ant whose name could never learn.
They had sworn eternal fidelity.
don't know what has happened since,
but she now lives in solitude and will
enter convent at Mannheim on her
twentyfifth birthday unless she gets
out of her sentimentalisms, which is
not patriotic from the German point of
view, for she is the daughter of one OF
the first generals of the empire"
He said no more, but we understood
Poor Pelven! That was the eXplana
