1t is because I love you better than
anything in the world-you cannot be

Her bosom heaved, and her ewes
flashed like heated summer sky.

and as cold as sudden repression of
wrath could make them. II trusted
you, and you have dared to take ad-
vantage of what seemed my helpless
ness. 1t is well indeed for you that
you committed this outrage before it
is too late. 1 should have killed YOU
then. I might have known. Could
ever a woman trust a man?' She
laughed contemptuously~ "You would
have made me a thing of scorn, and I
trusted you!'

respect for you is as high as heaven
itself! I love you. Is there nothing in
that? I am but human / am not a

interrupted.
And then-there was a crunch on the
gravel behind us. The princess and I
turned in dismay. We had forgotten
all about the anonymous note. Two
officers were approaching us and rap
idly. The elder of the two came
straight to me. I knew him to be as
memorable as his former master. the
victor of Sedan. The princess looked
on mechanically.
Come" said the count in broken
English. II believe your carriage is at

have been of stone for all the life she
exhibited. ...

CHAPTER VI.

During the first year Of my residence
in London there happened few events
worth chronicling. Shortly after my
arrival Hillars disappeared. His two
months vacation stretched into IL, and
l was directed to remain in London.
AS I knew that Hillars did not wish to
be found, made no inquiries. He
was somewhere on the continent, but
where no one knew. At one time
a letter, dated at St. Peters
burg, reached me, and at another time
was Informed of his presence at
Monte Carlo. In neither letter was
there any mention of her serene high
ness the Princess Hildegarde Of Ho-
henphalia. Since the night he recount
ed the adventure the hayward prin-
cess had never become the topic of
conversation. l grew hopeful enough
to believe that he had forgotten her.
Occasionally received a long letter
from Phyllis l always promptly an
swered it. To any one but me her let
tiers would have proved interesting
reading. 1t was not for what she
wrote that cared, it was the mere
fact that she wrote. A man cannot

In the preceding autumn completed
my first novel,. I carried it around to
publishers till grew to hate it as one
hates a Nemesis, and when finally /
did place it it was with publisher
who had just started in business and
was necessarily obscure. 4 bowed DO
lttely to my dreams of literary fame
and became wholly absorbed in my
journalistic work.. When the book came
out, could not but admire the excel
lence Of the bookmaking, but as I look
ed through the reviews and found no
mention save in books received I
threw the book aside and vowed that
it should be my last. The publisher
wrote me that he was surprised that
the book had not caught on, as he con-
sidered the story unusually clever.
"Merit is one thing" he said, "but luck.
is another" have found this to be
true not only in literature, but in all
walks of life where fame and money
are the goals. Phyllis wrote me that
she thought the book "just Splendid

salt, it being likely that she was par

it. There was a lump on the back Of

my voice. I was a prisoner in no COM

l returned to my pallet and lay down.
Why l was here a prisoner knew not.

red to me which would make me liable
to arrest. But, then, l had not been
arrested. l had been kidnapped, moth

been all too sudden. Presently heard
footsteps in the corridors, and the door
opened. 1t was mine enemy. He lock-

his pocket. One Of his eyes was de-

of my hand were yet SORE l smiled.
He saw the smile, his jaws hardening
