q eenfall LOrry, a wealthy American
globe-tI otter. stumbles into acquaint-
ance with a charming foreign girl
or the train from Denver to Wash
ington. The pair are left behind when
the flyer stops for repairs in West
Virginia Lorry wires ahead to hold
the train. He and the unknown girl
ride twenty miles at a tearing pace
IN a mountain coach. There Is no love
making, but a nea approach to ii
as the rolling stage tumbles the pass
engers about. Lorry dimes with the
foreign party, consisting Of Miss
Guggenslocker," Uncle Caspar and
Aunt Yvonne. They are natives Of
Graustark. a country Lorry had never
heard Of before. Lorry shows the
foreigners the sights of Washington.
Somehow the real favor Of romance
was stricken from the ride by her can
did admissions. What he had consid-
cred a romantic treasure was being
calmly robbed Of its glitter. leaving
for his memory the blur of an adven-
ture in which he had played the part OF
a gallant gentleman and she a grateful
lady. He was beginning to feel
ashamed of the conceit that had misled
him. Down in his heart be was saying.

Yvonne, and the jump that Lorry's
heart gave was so mighty that he was
afraid they could see IL In his face.
My uncle has some business to
transact in your city. Mr.. Lorry. We
are to spend tomorrow there and
Wednesday in New York. Then We
sail. Ach. TO- | long for Thursday"
His heart sank like lead TO the depths
from which it had sprung. 1t required
no effort on his part TO see that he was
alone In his ~infatuation. Thursday
was more 10 her han his existence.
She could forget him and think of
Thursday. and when she thought OF
Thursday, the future, he was but a
thing Of the past, not even of the pres
ent.
Have you always lived in Washing
ton. Mr.. Lorry?" asked Mrs. Guggen-
slocker.
"All my life," he replied. wishing at
that moment that he was homeless and
free to choose for himself.

MIR. Lorry has offended us by not
knowing where Graustark is located

he could see the fash of resentment In
her eyes.

ulm instantly.
Uncle Caspar. you are not to tell

He was not ashamed. but he mental
iy vowed that before he was a day old
er he would find Graustark on the map
and would stock his negligent brain
with all that history and the encyclo-
pedia had to say Of the unknown land.
Her uncle laughed. and. to Lorry's dis
appointment. obeyed the young lady's
command.
Shall I study the map of Europe.

laughed.
Study the map OF the world" said
Miss -Guggenslocker proudly.
