when a guest, MdLade 1Hdgindire, was bothering
Mrs Grier and her cook by the multiplicity of dishes
he could not eat and the few he could eat but which
disagreed with him, Karl made him tackle an out
rageous meal of many courses with hearty gusto.
The poor mans famished digestion stood the ordeal
well, and he slept for twelve hours thereafter,
to the great joy of the household and his
confusion.
Mrs. Grier kept the two young men busy all the
day, and insisted Hooper remaining to dinner
cleared the puzzle Hooper and Karl were chiefly
reminiscent in their talk. The shrewd American
quickly took the of his friends attitude.
Neither by look speech did he betray the trust
reposed in him Mrs Grier twice swung the CONVEX
saton round to the occupants of the CASTILLO Rondo.
She did this neatly and without undue insistence,
and just as cleverly did Hooper express his desire
to meet such exceptionally gifted girl Maggie
Hutchinson was, by all accounts

But Fate, the master playwright,
had ordained that influences | had

MANY an hour ere | reached the
CASTILLO Rondo in far-off Italy In
fact, none of us had taken into
account karrs mother.
Mrs. Grier was not enamoured of
high society as it is understood in Lon
don. She was a German, and she had
never lost her Teuton's tastes. First
and necessarily a good housekeeper,
she gave her spare time to reading
She hardly ever glanced at a news
paper, nor did she dawdle through
more than one novel year. She kept
her household accounts, Contrived
economies in an annual expenditure
of many thousands, looked after the
practical management of certain es-
tates, and for the rest saw as little as
possible of fashionable folk, but
isolated herself with some portentous
PROFESSIONAL treatise on the more seri-
Gus matters of life or sought relaXa-
ton in the pages of her beloved
Schiller
This was excellent while Grier senior
followed the beaten track leading to
a suitable marriage and peerage
But she had lost none of her maternal
love for her wonderful son, and her
shrewd eyes soon OWNED the anxiety
of her husband, the silent endurance of
Karl. At first her questions en-
countered certain gentle evasiveness.
She persisted and the elder Grier'
admitted that all was not we'll between
Karl and Nora.
Then the mother entered the arena,
and you need never ask in whose
behalf she drew the sword. IF Karl
does not want to marry Nora Cazenove,
why are you trying to force him
into a distasteful match?" she de-
manded of her distressed partner.

SO greatly interested in my SOM"
He knew that his mothers heart
rebelled against the suggestion of a
stranger taking part in affairs SO vital
to himself of which she had been
kept in ignorance.
With a well-assumed carelessness,
he told her how Hooper and | were
planning to expedite his wooing, and
he SO insisted on the humor of our
dark conspiracy, when he was fully
aware of each act and word, that he
won a smile to her kindly face. Yet
her alarmed perplexity did not abate.
There was a subtle change in Karl
which in no way escaped her. He
was thinner, altogether unstrung and
devitalized. She was conscious, too,
of physical tension in his attitude
which was strangely at variance with
the wonted suppleness of an athletic
youngster of his fine proportions.
When does this embassy return?"
she asked musingly
| cannot say. You forget that

bled with well-feigned laugh.
And Mr.. Hooper remains in Lon
dom"
That is a part of the plot"
Very well. Be ready to take me
to the hotel in half an hour There is a
fiower-show at Richmond which | wish
to visit. We shall call for Mr. Hooper,
drive to Richmond, pass sometime
at the show, and return here for tea"
In a word, Karl was to be tied to
his mothers apron-strings for awhile,
And Hooper was to be drawn judi
ciously. 1t was simple expedient;
Mrs. Crier had failed utterly to recog-
nize the real nature of the problem
which faced her, and not her alone,
but all of us. Her sons sixth sense
had always remained a thing apart
and wholly incomprehensible. She
had heard little of it during recent
years. The pranks he used to play
occasionally served only to amuse her.
Thus, he could summon any servant
in the house by causing that particu-
lar domestic to fancy he or she heard
a bell or voice. He was exceedingly
reliable as a weather prophet, eS-

started out bidding decidedly mean prices.
