"HarrV Look" exclaimed Lorry.

His voice was hoarse and trembling.

Eyes. yesW They had stopped, and
Lorry was grasping garden wall
with one hand.
"Then It's funny nobody knows the
name here. She seems to be some one
of consequence. Good heaven!
don't blame you! She's the most beau.
tiful'-
By this time the carriage was al
most opposite and within forty Feet
Of where they stood. The ladies-Misa
Guggenslocker's companion was young
and almost as beautiful as herself-had
not observed the agitated two, but
Lorry's face was beaming, his hat was
off. and he was ready to spring to the
carriage side at moments warning.
Then the young girl at the side Of the
woman whose beauty had drawn q
man half around the world saw the
tall strangers and called her compan-
IONS attention to them. Once more
Grenfall Lorry and Miss Guggenslock-
er were looking into each others eyes.
The lady started violently. Her eyes
grew wide, her lips parted, and her
body was bent forward eagerly, a lit
tie gloved hand grasping the side OF
the open carriage. Her Ideal Ameri-
can" was bowling low, as was the tall
fellow at his side. When helooked up
again, his eyes were glowing, his hand
some face was flushed, and he saw her
smile, blush furiously and incline her
head gravely. The carriage had swept
past, but she turned her head, and he
detected an appealing glance In her
eyes, a perpIexed wrinkle across her
brow, both of which were swept away
an instant later by the most bewitch-
ing of smiles. Again her head was in
clined, this time trife more energet-
ically, and then the maddening face
was turned from him. The eQuipage
rolled onward, and there was no effort
on her part to check its progress. The
men were left standing alone and dis
appointed on the streets of Edelweiss,
the object of their search slipping
away as soon as she had been found.
Her companion was amazed by the lit
tie scene, it was evident, judging by
the eager look on her face as she
turned with question in her eyes.
Turned down" exclaimed the TIRE
pressible Anguish dolefully. That's
pretty shabby treatment, old man. But
she's quite worth the journey"
"I'll not 60 back to America without
her. Do you hear that, Harry An
guishT" He was excited and trembling.
"But why didn't she stop" he went on
dismally.
"oh, you dear old fool" said An
guish.
The two stood looking after the car
riage until it turned into side street
half way down the shady stretch to-
ward the castle. They saw her COM
panion glance back. but could not tell
whether she did or not. Lorry looked
uneasily at Anguish. and the latter
read his thought.
"You are wondering about the Gug-
genslocker name, eh? I'll tell you what
I've worked out during the past two
minutes. Her name is no more Guggen-
slocker than mine is. She and the un-
Gle used that name as a blind. Mark
my words, she's quality over here;
that's all there Is about it. Now, we
must find out just who she really is.
Here comes a smart looking soldier
chap. Let's ask him. provided we can
make him understand"
A young soldier approached, leisurely
twirling a cane. for be was without his
side arms. Anguish accosted him In
French and then in German. He un-
derstood the latter and was very polite.
"Who was the young lady in the car
riage that just passed?" asked Lorry
eagerly.
The face Of the soldier flushed and
then grew pale with anger.
Hold on! beg pardon, but we are
strangers and don't quite understand
your ways. l can't see anything i'm
proper in asking such question" said
Anguish. attempting to detain him.
The young man struck his hand from
his arm. and his eyes fairly blazed.
"You must learn our ways. We never
pass comment on a lady. If you do 80
in your land, / am sorry for your la
dies. l refuse to be questioned by you.
Stand aside, fellow!'
Anguish stood aside in astonishment,
and they watched the wrathful gallant
strut down the street, his back as stiff
as board.
BLAMED touchy" growled Anguish.
"You remember what Sticky said
about their respect for the weaker sex.
guess we'd better keep of that tack
or We'll hatch up duel or two. They
seem to be fire eaters. We must con-
tent ourselves with searching out her
home, and without assistance too. I've
cooled off a bit. Harry. and. now that
