He bowed and, with his half humor-

The first face he recognized was a
pretty one. Miss Maggie Delafeld was
just turning away from a partner who
was taking his leave when she looked
across the room and saw S%tein,netz,
He had only met her once. barely ex.

frank, friendly bow was rather a sur.

the countess. clapping her soft hands
together.
"Well, about Prince Paul." said De
Chauxville, looking at Steinmetz with
airy defiance.
Steinmetz moved a little. He placed
himself in front Of Catrina, who bad
suddenly lost color. She could only
see his broad back. The others in the
room could not see her at all. She was
rather small, and SteinEaetz hid her as
behind a screen.

HAPTER XIV.

"HE ball to which Paul and Eta
We're going was managed by
some titled ladies who knew
Il their business we'll. The price
Of the tickets was fabulous. The IL
cess Of the ball was therefore a fore.
gone conclusion. In French fiction
there is invariably n murmur of ap.
plause when the heroine enters n room
full of people, but there was no ap.
plause when Paul and Eta made their
appearance. That lady had, neverthe-
less, the satisfaction of %perceivins
glances. not only Of admiration, but of
interest and yer Of disapproval,
among her own sex.
To Paul this ball was much like 9TH
ers. There were a number Of the
friends Of his youth-tall, clean fea-
tured, clean iimbed men, with a tend
ency toward length and spareness-
who greeted him almost affectionately.
Some of them introduced him to their
wives and sisters, which ladies duly
set him down as nice. but dull, a form
Of faint praise which failed to damn.
There We're a number of ladies to
whom it was necessary for him to bow
in acknowledgment Of past favors
which had missed their mark.
And all the while Karl Steinmetz
was storming in his cultural English
at the door, u%pbraiding hired walters
for their stupidity in accepting two
literal facts literally. The one fact
was that they were forbidden to admit
any one without a ticket, the second
fact being that tickets were not to be
obtained at the price of either one or
the other Of the two great motives of
man-love or money.
Steinmetz was Teutonic and impos.
ing. with the ribbon of q great order
on his breast. He mentioned the names
Of several ladies who might have been,
but were not, of the committee. Final.
ly, however, he mentioned the historic
name of one whose husband had brav-
ed more than one Russian emperor
successfully for England.
Eyes, me lord, her l%adyship's here
answered the man.
Steinmetz wrote on a card, "In mem
DRY of '56. let me in" and sent in the
missive.
A few minutes later a stout, smiling
lady came toward him with outstretch-
ed hand.
"What mischief are you about" she
inquired, you stormy petrol? This is

Claude de Chauxville walked into the
room with the easy grace which was
his.
"Mme. la Comtesse,' he said, bow
ing over her hand.
Then he stood upright, and the two
men smiled grimly at each other.
Steinmetz had thought that De Chaux-
vile was in London. The Frenchman
counted on the others duties to re-
tain him in Osterno.
The countess looked from one to the
other with a smile on her foolish face.
"Ah," she exclaimed, show pleasant

quickly.
"London."

said, "if we had met accidentally. Aft
