CHAPTER VI.

VHE Taileyrand, as it's name i'm
plies, is a diplomatic club, but
ambassadors and ministers en-
a ter not it's portals They send
their juniors. Some of these latter are
in the habit of stating that London is
the hub of Europe and the Talleyrand
smoking room it's grease box. Certain
is it that such men as Claude de Chaux-
vile, as Karl Steinmetz and hundred
others who are or have been political
scene shifters, are to be found in the
Talleyrand rooms.
The atmosphere is vivacious with the
light sound of many foreign tongues.
1t bristles with the ephemeral impor-
tance of cheap titles. One never knows
whether ones neighbor is an ornament
to- the !Almanach de Gotha or a dis
grace to degenerate colony Of refu-
gees.
Some are plain messieurs, senores Oh
herren, bluff foreigners with upright
hair and melancholy eyes, who put up
philosophically with a cheaper brand
Of cigar than their souls love- Among
the latter may be classed Karl Stein
metz, the bluffest of the bluff, innocent
even of his own innocence
Karl SteinmetZ in due course reached
England and in natural sequence the
smoking room of the Talleyrand.
He was there one evening after an
excellent dinner taken with humorous
resignation, smoking the largest cigar
the waiter could supply, when Claude
de Chauxville happened to have moth
ing better or nothing worse to do.
De Chauxville looked through the
glass door for some seconds, then he
twisted his waxed mustache and
lounged in. Steinmetz was alone in the
room, and De Chauxville was evident
ly almost obviously unaware of his
presence. He went to the table and
proceeded to search in vain for a news
paper that interested him. He raised
his eyes casually and met the quiet
gaze of Karl Steinmetz.
"You in London?''
Steinmetz nodded gravely.
Eyes, he repeated.
Zone never knows where one has
you,'' Claude de Chauxville went on,
seating himself in a deep armchair,
newspaper in hand. ''You are bird of
passage
"A little heavy Oh the wing now,''
said Steinmetz.
He laid his newspaper down Oh his
stout knees and looked at De Chaux-

vile, Feneer Pasha, Lord and Lady
Standover, Mrs. Sydney scarborough
and others.'''
Steinmetz threw the paper down
and leaned back in his chair.
$50, my dear FRIEND" he said, 'it is
probable that you know more about
the Sydney Bamboroughs than do"
If Claude de Chauxville was discon-
certed he certainly did not show it.
His was a face eminently calculated to
conceal whatever thought OF feeling
might be passing through his mind.
OF an even white complexion, verging
on pastiness, he was handsome in a
certain statuesque way. His features
were always composed and dignifed.
His hair, thin and straight, was never
out Of order, but ever smooth and
sleek upon his high, narrow brow
"Not necessarily" he said in cold,
even tones Mrs. Sydney Bambor-
ough does not habitually take into her
confidence all who happen to dine at
the same table as herself. Your conf.
Dental woman is usually liar"
Steinmetz was filling his pipe. This
man had the evil habit Of smoking a
wooden pipe after cigar.

said. without looking up, "your epi-
grams are lost on me. know most of

Mrs. Sydney scarborough, for heavens
sake tell it to me quite plainly. l like
plain dishes and unvarnished stories.
l am a German, you know-that is tc
say, a person with a dull palate and a
thick head.''
De Chauxville laughed again in an
memotional way.
'You alter little" he said. "Your
plainncss of speech takes me back to
Petersburg. Yes, l admit that Mrs.
Sydney Marlborough rather interested
me. But assume too much. That is
no reason why she should interest

"She does not, my good friend, but

tends to believe that which he may be
! about to hear.

Karl Steinmetz shrugged his heavy
shoulders and shook his head doubt
fully.

gruftly. "The good God has not shaped

thing dangerously near it in Etta's
voice had first been noticeable the pre-
Vlous evening, and the attache knew it.
It had been in her voice whenever she
spoke to him then. 1t was there now.
"Some things" he continued, in a
voice she had never heard before, for
this man was innately artificial,
(which woman usually knows before
they are told to her"
"What sort Of things, NJ. le Baron?"
He gave j. little laugh It was so
strange thing to him to be sincere
that he felt awkward and abashed. He
was surprised at his own sincerity.
"That love you. You have known it
long?"
The face which he could not see was
not quite the face of good woman,
Eta was smiling.
"No-o," she almost whispered.
81 think you must have known it."
he corrected suavely. "Will you do me
the honor of becoming my wife?''
1t was very correctly DONE Claude
de Chauxville had regained control
over himself. He was able to think
about the riches which We're evidently
hers. But through the thought he loved
the woman.
The lady lowered the feather screen
which she was holding between her
face and the fire. Regardless of the i'm
mediate danger in which she was plac-
ing her complexion, she studied the
glowing cinders for some moments,
weighing something or some persons
in her mind.
"No, my friend" she answered in
French at length.
He came nearer to her, leaning one
hand on the back Of her chair, looking
down. He could only see the beauti-
fully dressed hair, the clean cut pro-
file. She continued to look into the
fire, conscious of the hand close to her
shoulder.

"But when I tell you that l love

well in control.

in your vocabulary-you, diplomat.''
"And man-you put the word there

The hand screen was raised for a mo-
ment in objection, presumably to the
Christian name of which he had made
use.
Then, with graceful movement, she
swung suddenly round in her chair.

merry laugh

He looked quietly down into her face

to her change of humor

six months. You have seen me often

nest, to know the difference"
Eta rose quickly. 1t was some light,
ning-like woman's instinct that made
her do so. Standing, she was taller
than NJ. de Chauxville
"Do not let us be tragic" she said
coldly. "You have asked me to marry

"Now, 1 wonder" he said aloud,

Ach, how am I to find out? These
English weights and measures, this
English money, when there is a met

He sat and hardly looked up when
the clock struck T. It was a quiet
room this in which he sat, the library
of Pauls London house. The noise of
Piccadilly reached his ears as a faint
roar not entirely unpleasant but socia-
BILE and full of life. Accustomed as he
was to the great silence of Russia,
where sound seems lost in space, the
hum of a crowded humanity was a
pleasant change to this philosopher,
who loved his kind while fully recog-
nizing its little weaknesses.
While he sat there still wondering
how many bushels of seed made a ton
Paul Alexis came into the room. The
younger man was in evening dress.
He looked at the clock rather eagerly

not attempt to conceal the fact that he
was wondering what this man wanted
with him. The baron seemed to be
wondering what object Steinmetz had

some motive in the obesity.
"Ahv' he said deprecatingly. ..That

"Catrina is living in the province Of

He did not finish, for the door was
thrown open by the butler, who an,

"Mr. Alexis
Paul came into the room with bow
toward De Chauxville, who was going
out, and whom he knew slightly.
Il came back" he said, "to ask what
evening next week you are free. I
have a box for The Huguenots.'"
Paul did not stay. The thing was ar
ranged in a few moments, and as lie
left the drawing room he heard the
wheels of De Chauxvilles carriage.
In few minutes Maggie came into
the room. She was carrying a bundle
of flannel.
"The weakest thing l ever did," she
said cheerfully, "Was to join Lady

De .Chauxville was vain, but he was
clever enough to conceal his vanity.
He was hurt, but he was man enough
to hide it. Under the passivity which
was his by nature and practice he had
learned to think very quickly. But
now he was at disadvantage. He
was unnerved by his love for Eta, by
the sight of Eta before him daringly,
audaciously beautiful, by the thought
that she might never be his.

said; "that have certain position to
