that it was shabby-and he recalled
that delicious little smile with which
she would surely greet him, a smile
which seemed TO be q matter of the

marked laconically.
IT will put the question" Drummond
said gravely. "FerringhaH, were you
or We're you not dining last night at
certain restaurant in the Boulevard des
Italiennes with-la petite Pellissier?"
Now indeed Sir John was moved. He
sat up in his chair as though the ques-
ton had stung him. The Times slipped
from his fingers. His eyes were bright,
and his voice had in it an unaccus-
toned timbre.
1T Is true" he said, "that I was
dining last night at restaurant In
the Boulevard des Italiennes, and 1t is
true that my companion was a young
lady whose name is Pellissier. What
of it?"
There was shout of laughter. Sir
John looked about him, and somehow
the laugh died away. If such thing
in connection with him had been posi-
bic they would have declared that he
was in towering rage. An uncom-

artist seemed to come to him with
rush. He stood still, almost GREATNESS.
A slow anger burned in the man. IL
was debauching, this-a devilish art
which drew such strange allurements
from a face and figure almost Ma
donna-like in their simplicity. I'm
willingly he drew a little nearer and
became one of the group of loiterers
about the entrance. A woman
touched him lightly on the arm and
smiled into his face.
Monsieur admires the poster?"
AS a rule Sir John treated such ad-
vances with cold silence. This woman.
contrary to his custom. he answered
IT Is hateful-diabolical! he ex-
claimed.
The woman shrugged her shoulders.
1T Is a great art" she said in
broken English. The little English
girl is very fortunate. For what. in
deed, does she do? A simple song; no
gesture, no -acting-nothing. And they
pay her. Monsieur is going inside,
perhaps?"
But Sir Johns eyes were still riv-
eted upon the poster, and his heart
was beating with unaccustomed force.
For just as though a vague likeness
is sometimes borne swiftly in upon
one, so a vague dissimilarity between
the face on the poster and the heroine
of his thoughts had slowly crept into
his consciousness. He drew a little
breath and stepped back. After all,
he had the means OF setting this tor
menting doubt at rest. She had mem
toned the address where she and her
sister had lived. He would go there.
He would see this sister. He would
know the truth then once and for all.
He walked hastily TO the side Of the
broad pavement and summoned

Twill you tell me-" Sir John said
ponderously, "by what right you call
that young lady-la petite Pellissfer?
should be glad TO know how you dare
to allude to her in a public place in
such disrespectful manner
Drummond looked at him and smiled.
Don't be an ass, Ferringhal, he said
tersely. "Annabel Pellissier is known
to most of us. 1 myself have had the
pleasure of dining with her. She is
very charming, and we all admire ner
immensely. She sings twice q. week at
the ambassadors and the Casino
Mavise-"
Sir John held up his hand.
"Stopi" he said You do not even
know what you are talking about. The
young lady with whom / was dining
last night was Miss Anna Pellissier.
Miss Annabel is her sister. l know
nothing Of that young lady"
There was a moments silence. Drum
mond took up a cigarette and lit it.
THE young lady, l presume, told you
that her name was Anna, he re-
marked.
1T was not necessary" Sir John
answered stiffiy. Il was already aware
of the fact 1 may add that the family
is well known to me. The two aunts
of these young ladies lived in
Hampshire. Under the circumstances

judge of the identity of the young lady

he lied well. Drummond smoked his
cigarette meditatively. He remember
ed that he had heard stories about the
wonderful likeness between those two
sisters, one of whom was an artist and
recluse, while the other had attach
ed herself to a very gay and a very
brilliant little coterie of pleasure-seek-
ers. There was bare chance that he
had been mistaken. He thought it best
to let the matter drop. A few minutes
later Sir John left the room.
He walked out into the Champs
Elysees and sat down. His cigar burnt
out between his fingers and he threw
it impatiently away. He had seldom
been more perturbed. He sat with
folded arms and knitted brows, think
ing intently. The girl had told him
distinctly that her name was Anna.
Her whole conduct and tone had been

After all, It was not 50 easy. The
girls eyes never left his face. She was
civil, but she was obviously impatient
to know his errand. Afraid, no doubt,
he thought grimly, that her other Wis
itor would leave.

your consideration and tell you the

She accepted his rejoinder with a

but remained silent IN the face OF her

He looked at her with a certain curf-

woman, slightly taller perhaps than
her sister. and with an air OF reserved
strength underneath her quiet face and

lacked. 1t was hard to associate her
with the stories which he and all Paris

Anna? or AnnabeI?

Sir John was wholly unable to un-

cheer which greeted his entrance to
the smoking-room of the English Club
on the following evening. He stood
upon the threshold. dangling his eye
glasses in his fingers, stolid. imperturb-
