They had turned into the great boule-
ward by this time, and all the garish
life of Paris went crying. laughing, roll
ing before their eyes. Esther had read
something of the city in the guide
books years ago; but the reality was
so very different from her child
ish conceptions. She wondered If
there were one sad person In this Paris
Of actuality. The shaded walks, the
noisy boulevard, cafes, shops. churches,
suggested a scene which a novelist
might depict but which could not ex
ist. Esther found herself asking a
hundred questions; she cried out with
delight at every changing pageant. The
journey was, in truth, too short; and
when the cab stopped before the doors
of the Ritz Hotel she was almost sorry
that it was over.
"Is it here, Suzanne, is this the ho-
tel?" she asked.

girl unpacked a taking gown of silk

the best advantage, she could admit
that after all the ordeal below might
not be so terrible. So far. she was

CHAPTER Y.

We have shown under what circum-
stances Esther quilted Paris, and how
that in the company of Doctor Xavier
and his sister, she paid her first visit
to the Chateau of st. Paul With her
life in Spain. and afterwards in France
and Italy, this story concerns itself but
little. We know that she lived in close
seclusion for nearly five months; we
hear of her in the mountains and the
cities; but her life is always unevent-
full. and il is not until the month OF
the following January that she ap-
pears with dramatic suddenness upon
the social horizon of Paris, and instant
ly is the foremost figure in that capital
of enthusiasms. Such a change IN
young girls life can find few parallels
in the story of a woman, nor does the
account of it lose force by the most
modest estimates of the sensation
which attended her rentree. Unknown.
unsought, she had gone out. She re-
turned to hear herself called the most
beautiful woman in France, to be the
spoiled child of the salon and the the
ater, to have the social world at her
feet. If she herself remained the at
traCt1Ve girl lHdt AohSA9~S @Ne'F 4CA
had found her, if she were unconscious
both Of her influence and her beauty,
this happy circumstance owed not
little TO her own decided character and
the good common sense she had in
herited. Vanity at any time was re-
pellant to her. None the less, she knew
that some miracle had influenced her
life-a miracle so simple and true that
faith could not be withheld.
She had come to Paris secretly, ac-
companied by the loquacious Julia, and
unaware of the object of the unexpect-
ed visit Five months of the solitudes
left her unprepared for this surprise.
She was never more surprised
than when, at Lausanne upon
that memorable day of Janu-
airy. Doctor Xavier spoke once more OF
the city and the world.
The mountains can give Us no
more" he had said. I'VE are like bees
who have sucked up the last drop of
honey. Come, we will return to Paris
without delay. 1t may be the last
journey We shall ever make as students
together
Esther was perplexed at the enigma
of his words, but obedience was now
habit to her. and she accompanied him
to the north without question. In Paris.

while her part in the social comedy Of

He left her wondering at his agita-
ton; and when he was gone she leaned
back upon her couch Of roses and
tried to master the secret which ap-
pealed more strongly to her troubled
curiosity every hour that she remained
in that house Of mysteries. The vain
task left her weary and fatigued. A
quarter OF an hour passed and the
doctor did not return-she heard dis
tant church clock strike one and still
he did not come. Fatigued and over
wrought, she succumbed at last and
fell into a gentle slumber. From this
she was awakened by the rustic Of
a brocaded curtain and some hushed
cry Of surprise at her window; and
looking UP, she beheld a face that she
recognized. It was that Of the young
man whom Julia had named THE
Prince OF Cadi."

A deeper meaning lay behind his
words, but Esther could only take the
larger sense of them

she said. "but you would not
have me promise to tell you

Esther blushed deeply at the ques-

tomorrow morning. Will you present
her with my regrets that 1 am called

rives."
Esther understood that he was jest
ing; but the jest had a sting which
he could not conceal. His own bravade
apparently struck him as an impru-
dence; for, anon, he became more seri-
GUS, and then Esther listened with in
terest.

without tidings either of Madame Julia
or of the DOCTOR but a telegram deliv-
cred at half-past six o'clock explained
their absence. Julia telegraphed that
she had lost the train from Dinard and
would not arrive until tomorrow
morning, and while the news was little
comforting, Esther made the best of it.
She was even persuaded to dine in the
white and crimson room below; and
coming at length to perceive that she
was at no disadvantage at all even in
such a company, she made bold after
ward to take a seat in the corridor and
there to enjoy the music of the Hunga-
riah band. No one would know her,
none ask her name, she thought; but in
this she was mistaken, for the band
had hardly begun to play when some
one addressed her, and, turning, she
found herself face to face with the
Prince of Cadi.
He was in evening dress, with a light
black cape hanging loosely from his
shoulders. Esther imagined that he
had not dined at the hotel, but had re-
turned to it from some other house.
The button Of an order showed beneath
the lapel Of his cape. His white waist
coat had no ornament of gold button or
watch chain. He was in the sact of
drawing off his white kid gloves when
he addressed Esther, and in her sur
prise she looked up swiftly at him, and
could not conceal the pleasure of her
recognition. Then, for the first time,
perhaps, she understood why his face
had seemed familiar to her even upon
their first meeting. Once in an old his
tory book she had seen a picture of
Spanish king. an engraving after one
OF Velasquez's masterpieces. and al
though it represented an older man,
none the less the young Spaniard be-
fore her might have been its subject.
The San Francisco call., 1904-08-14

Esther started at the words. She
was not little interested in the favor
shown to her by one who occupied so
great position; but her curiosity
quickly got the better of her surprise.
Why do you speak of the Duke OF
Montalvan? Are you referring to DR.
Xavier. Prince?"
He regarded her with some amaze
ment.
"Ah, then you are ignorant of his
incognito, Miss venn?"
1 only know him as DR.. Xavier"
The Prince laughed. Il must intro
duce him to you. He is concealinS
something" he continued lightly. You
can never trust middle age, Miss Venn;
1t is only youth which is entirely
frank"
Esther looked at him with very
serious eyes.
DO you think it is always wise to be
frank?"
"Oh, II never think about it,
Thank heaven, am not diplomatist.
My dictionary is yes or no. You
must put it down to my education.
was never taught lying as a fine art.
II We sit here long enough, you will
get all old Francisco's secrets out of

him, Miss Venn?"
Esther leant her chin upon her hand,
and asked herself if she were.
Can we be attached to people whom
we have known only a little while?"
Oh, If you press it, l must say
yes. Let's see, it was fifteen days ago

The upturned mustache she found par
ticularly characteristic Of his country
men; his crisp, curly hair, parted in
the center, had been well brushed back
from a pleasing forehead. Very clear
lustrous eyes spoke Of exercise and
healthy habits. His skin was unusually
fair for one of a southern race. She
judged him to be almost six feet in
height, but not quite. He had an easy,
graceful manner, although 1T was lit
tie masterful, by reason Of an old habit
OF authority and privilege. When she
came to know him better Esther dis
covered that the Prince could not
brook contradiction. His own master
from an early age, he regarded men,
ana women, too, as his servants; and
this service he rewarded with a gener-
osity which was often as foolish as 1t
was undeserved. He had many talents,
but rarely chose to apply them patient
~ or with perseverance. One by one
he visited the cities of Europe, and
maoe his dwelling there until he
had exhausted the cIty's pleasures.

should engage him, and this sud

he had lighted a cigarette, he asked

Destruction of Captured Weapons.

One of the patrol wagons of the police
department drove up to the Office of Har-
bormaster Sutton, on Water street be-
tween and M streets southwest, Friday
afternoon and unloaded several boxes,
which were placed aboard the police boat
vigilant, and some time afterward the
tug backed away from the wharf and
started down river. The boxes contained
a miscellaneous assortment of pistols,
knives, razors, brass knuclxles and other
weapons that have been confiscated by
the police authorities in the past year or
two, and the trip was made for the pur-
pose OF destroying them When the deep
water between here and Alexandria was
reached the pistols were taken apart and
broken on an anvil and the broken parts
thrown into the river as the tug steamed
along The razors. knives and knuckles
met the same fate, nothing being spared.
When the weapon wrecking was through
the bottom of the Potomac for over two
miles was strewn with the battered and
bent parts, so that should they ever be
raised they will be of no use to their find

dred fine weapons, which had cost con-
siderable money when new.

department to sell these weapons at pub
lie auction, but the regulations now re-
quire their destruction.
