In Germany the marriage of one of its members
to American girl is destined to result in Sc
rious dynastic difficulties. For the regent of
the principality of Lippe has been notified that
his sons are barred not merely from the sue
cession to the throne, but even from following
him in the regency owing to the fact that their
mother was the offspring of Count Leopold
Wartensleben and Miss Bohlen. of Philadelphia,
where the latter's father was well-to-do mer-
chant. Indeed, at the obsequies of the Dow
ager Princess of Lippe at Carlsruhe, the other

drug store caught the early sun Of the
hot May morning and became like
sheets of polished brass: a farmers
wagon ratified down the street; a group
of Irish mattresses from the hotel made
the board walk rattle under their hur-
ried steps as they went toward the
church, talking busily to one another;
and a blinking youth in his shirt
sleeves, who wore the air of one newly,
but not gladly, risen. began to strug-
gle mournfully with the shutters of Ma
drillon's bank. A moment later, Tom
heard Crailey come down the stairs,
sure of foot and humming lightly to
himself. The door of the office was
closed Crailey did not look in, but
presently appeared, smiling, trim, i'm
maculate, all in white linen, on the op-
posite side of the street, and offered
badinage to the boy who toiled at the
shutters.
The bell had almost ceased to ring
when a lady, dressed plainly in black,
but graceful and tall, came rapidly out
of Carewe street, turned at the cor
ner by the little drug store, and went
toward the church. The boy was left
staring, for Crailey's banter broke off
in the middle of word.
He overlook her on the church steps,
and they went in together.
That afternoon Fanchon Bareaud told
Tom how beautiful her betrothed had
been to her; he had brought her great
bouquet of violets and lilies-of-the-
valley, and had taken her to the ceme-
terry to place them on the grave of her
baby brother whose birthday IL was
Tears came to Fanchon's eyes as she
spoke Of her lovers goodness. and OF
how wonderfully he had talked as they
stood beside the little grave.
HE was the only one who remem-
bered that this was poor tiny Jeans

caught him about the waist to steady
him.
"Sweethearting, tipping, vingt-et-un,
or poker, eh, Tom?" he shouted, thick
ly, with a wild laugh. "Ha, ha, old
SNUG face, up to my bad tricks at last!"
But, recovering himself Immediately, he
pushed the other off at arms length,
and slapped himself smartly on the
brow. Never mind: all right, all

"why?"
Crailey did not answer, but at that
moment the Catholic church bell, sum-
moning the faithful to mass, pealed
loudly on the morning air: and the
steady glance of Tom Vanrevel rested
upon the reckless eyes Of the man be-
side him as they listened together to
most timidly:

This time the answer came brislxly.
"Yes; I promised to take Fanchon to
the cemetery before breakfast, to place
some flowers on the grave OF the little
brother who died. This happens to be
his birthday"
1t was Tom who averted his eyes, not
Crailey.
Then you'd best hurry" he said,
hesitatingly; 81 mustn't keep you," and
went downstairs to his Office with
flushed cheeks, hanging head, and an
expression which would have led a
stranger to ,7clieve that he had just
been caught in a lie.
He went to the Main street window,
and seated himself upon the ledge, the
only one in the room not too dusty for
occupation; for here, at this hour Tom
had taken his place every morning
since Elizabeth Carewe had come from
the convent.A The window was a coign
of vantage, commanding the corner of
Carewe and Main streets. Some dis
tance west of the corner, the Catholic
church cast its long shadow across
Main street, and in order to enter the
church. a person who lived upon Ca
rewe street must pass the corner. or
else make half-mile detour and an
proach from the other direction-which
the person never did. Tom had thought
il out the first night that the image of
Miss Betty had kept him awake-and
that was the first night Miss Carewe
spent in Rouen-the st. Mary's girl
would be sure to go to mass every day.

not stop to ask the journalist, for he
desired to behold the face OF none OF

some things within himself So he
strode on toward nowhere.
Day was breaking when Mr.. Gray
climbed the stairs TO his room. There
were two flights, the ascent of the first
OF which occupied about half an hour
Of Crailey's invaluable time; and the
second might have taken more Of it, or
possibly consumed the greater part of
the morning, had he received no as
eistance. But, as he reclined to medi-
tate upon the first landing. another
man entered the hallway from without,
ascended quickly, and Crailey became
pleasantly conscious that two strong
hands had lifted him TO his feet; and

himself gently deposited upon the
couch fn his own chamber, when he
smiled amiabiy, and, looking UP, dis
covered his partner standing over him.
Tom was very pale and there were
deep, violet scrawls beneath his eyes.
Fer once IN his life he had come home
later than Crailey.
