Il wonder why" she said, looking
into the fire, you hate me-
e wonder why you think that of
me-" he replied.
"One cannot help perceiving that
which is obvious"
While that which is purposely made
obvious serves to conceal that which
may exist behind it." replied the stout
man.
Eta paused to reflect over this. Was
Steinmetz going to make love to her?
She was not an inexperienced girl and
knew that there was nothing impOssi-
BILE or even improbable in the thought.
She wondered what Karl Steinmetz
must have been like when he was a
young man. How could she know that
his manner was always easiest, his
attitude always pOlitiSt, toward the Wo-
men whom he despised. In his way
this man was a philosopher. He had
a theory that an exaggerated polite
ness is an insult to a woman's intel
lect.
You think 1 do not care,'' said the
Princess Howard Alexis.
You think l do not admire you," re-
piled Steinmetz imperturbably.
She looked up at him.
do you not give me every reason to
think so?" she returned, with a toss of
the head.
Not Intentionally, princess. I am, as
you know, a German Of no very subtle
comprehension. My position in your
household appears to me to be a little
above the servants, although the prince
is kind enough to make a friend of me,
and his friends are so good as to do the
same. 1 do not presume to form an
opinion upon you"
But 1 want you to form an opinion"
she said petulantly.
Then you must know that l could
only form one which would be pleasing
to you"
81 know nothing of the Sort" re-
piled Eta. "Of course 1 know that all
that you say about position is mere
irony. Paul thinks there is no one in
the world like you"
Steinmetz glanced sharply down at
her. He had never considered the pos
sibility that she might love Paul. Was
this, after all, jealousy? He had at
tributed it to vanity.
And 1 have no doubt he is right
she went on. Suddenly she gave a lit
tie laugh. Don't you understand"
she said. 81 want to be friends"
She did not look at him, but sat with
pouting lips holding out her hand.
He took it in his great, warm, soft
grasp, held it for a moment and re-
linquished it.
81 don't want you to address all your
conversation to Maggie and to ignore
me. Do you think Maggie so very pref
ty?"
There was a twist beneath the gray
mustache as he answered: SIS that all
the friendship you desire? Does it ex-
tend no further than a passing wish to
be first in petty rivalries of daily exist
ence? I am afraid, my dear princess,
that my friendship is a heavier matter.
a clumsier thing, than that"

land and lit up the snowclad city with
Il rosy glow which penetrated to the
room where the two women sat.
Catrina was restless. moving from
chair to chair, from fireplace to win
dow. with a lack of repose which
would certainly have touched the
nerves of a less lethargic person than
the countess.
MY lear child" that lady was ex-
claiming, with lackadaislcal horror,
1--WE cannot go to Thors yet. The
thought is too horrible. You never
think Of my health. Besides, the gloom
of the everlasting snow is too painful.
1t makes me think of your poor mis-
taken father, who is probably shovel
ing it in Siberia. Here, at all events.
one can avoid the window. One need
not look at it."
"The policy of shutting ones eyes Is
a mistake" said Catrina.
"Why do you want to go back to
Thors so soon?' murmured the elder
lady, with a little sigh of despair. She
knew she was playing n losing game
very badly. She was mentally shud-
dering at the recollection of former
sleigh journeying from Tver to ThOrs.
Because am sure father would like
us to be there this hard winter"
But your father is in Siberia" put
in the countess, which remark was ig-
nored.
Because if we do not go before the
snow begins to melt We shall have to
do the journey in carriages Over bad
roads, which is sure to make you i'll.
Because our place is at Thors, and no
one wants us here. | hate Petersburg.
1t is no use living here unless one is
rich and beautiful and popular. We
are none of those things, so we are
better at ThOrs."
"But we have many nice friends
here. dear. You will see this after
noon. 1 expect quite a reception. The
COmte de ChauXville said he would
come on my first reception day, and of
course Paul and his wife must return
my call. They will come today. l am
anxious to see her. They say she is
beautiful and dresses We'll"
Catrina's broad white teeth cleaned
for a moment in the Pickering fire light
as she clinched them over her lower
lip.
and therefore Paul's happiness in
life is assured" she said in a hard
voice.
"Of course. What more could he
want?" murmured the countess, in
blissful ignorance of any irony.
Catrina looked at her mother with a
CLEAN of utter contempt in her eyes.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1905-11-03

II WtSh you happiness" said CGtrtnG.
That is one of the privileges of a great
love, whether it brings happiness or
misery-the contempt for all who have
never known it.
While they remained thus the sound
of sleighbelIs on the quiet English quay
made itself heard through the double
windows. There was a clang of many
tones, and the horses pulled up with Il
jerk. The color left Catrina's face
quite suddenly, as if wiped away, Ieav-
ing her CHASTITY. She was going to see
Paul and his wife.
Presently the door opened, and Eta
came into the room with the indomita-
bic assurance which characterized her
movements and earned for her a host
Of feminine enemies.
Nine. Ia Comtesse," she said, with
her most gracious smile, taking the
limp hand offered to her by the Count
esS LanOyitch.
Catrina stood in the embrasure of
the window, hating her.
Paul followed on his wife's heels,
scarcely c~oncealing his boredom. He
was not a society man. Catrina came
forward and exchanged q formal bow
with Eta, who took in her plainneSs
and the faults of her dress at Il Il
temptuous glance. She smiled with
the perfect pity Of a good figure for no
figure at all. Paul was shaking hands
with the countess. When he took Ca
trina's hand her fingers were icy and
twitched %neryously within his grasp.
The countess was already babbIing
to Eta in French. The Princess How
ard Alexis always began by informing
Pauls friends that she knew no Rus
sian. For 4 moment Paul and Catrina
were left, as it We're, alone.
Il wish you happiness said Catrina.
and no n heard her but Paul. She
did not raise her eyes to his. but looked
vaguely at his collar. Her voice was
short and rather b~reathIess. as if she
had just emerged from deep water.
Thank you" answered Paul simply.
He turned and somewhat naturally
looked at his wife. Catrina's thoughts
followed his. \ man is at a disad-
vantage in the presence of the woman
who loves him. She usually sees
through him-a marked difference be-
tween masculine and feminine love.
Catrina looked up sharply and caught
his eyes resting on Eta.
He does not love her-he does not
love her." was the thought that In
leaped into her brain.

He shrugged his great shoulders.

is" he answered.
THE worst Of those things is that
they are sometimes in the way" said
Eta refectively, without looking at
him.
And yet the life that is only a con-
glomeration of trifes is a poor life to
look back upon"
Meaning mine?" she asked.
Your life has not been trihing," he
said gravely.
She looked up at him and then for
some moments kept silence while she
idly opened and shut her fan.
do you ever feel an u~naccountable
weary little laugh, "a sort of forebod-
ing with nothing definite to %forebode?"
"Unaccountable-no," replied Stein
metz. But, then, / am a German-and

have no nerves."
He looked into the fire through his
benevolent gold trimmed spectacles.

edly. g" think it is damp. These
houses are built on reclaimed land, 1
believe. This was all marsh. was it
not?'
He did not answer her question, and
somehow she seemed to expect no re-
ply. He stood blinking down into the
fire, while she watched him furtiyely
from the corners of her eyes, her lips
parched and open, her face quite
white.
A few moments before she had pro-
tested that she desired his friendship.
She knew now that she could not brave
his enmity. And the n word "Tver"
had done it all, the mere mention of
a town, obscure and squalid, on the
upper waters of the mighty Volga in
mid-RuSSia!
During those few moments she sud
denly came face to face with her pO-
sition. What had she to offer this
man? She looked him up and down
stout, placid and impenetrable. Here
was no common adventurer seeking
place. no coxcomb seeking ladies' IA
vors, no pauper to be bought with gold.
She had no means of ascertaining how
much he knew, how much he suspect
ed. She could never hope to find out
whether his knowledge and his sus-
picions were his alone or had been i'm
parted to others.
She breathed hard, living through
years Of anxiety in a few moments of
time. ard she could only realize that
she was helpless. bound hand and foot
