room as a CHEEKY whistling. accom-

Ii Roche. pausing a moment, turned
back to say, in a carefully lowered
tone. "Senorita Lazalie-Mademoi-

to have a care how you mention the

ed, with unmistskable emphasis. he

Lazalie nodded. with a smile of ap-

general as he hurried out.
She was greatly puzzled, as indeed
she had been more than once during
the past year, to understand how IL
was that people for whom she could
have nothing but respect should seem
to find no objection to fraternizing
with the dreadful Lafitte, and she was
beginning to wonder how much of un-
truth there might be in the terrible
stories she had heard concerning him.
1t was all a perplexing puzzle. and
the girl sighed as she stirred her
chocolate.
Lazalie, hearing the sigh. laughed
as her white teeth bit into her toast
why do you sigh SO woefully, my
little Rose, and look so tragic? These
gentlemen have their secrets to pre-

cannot be sure that his neighbor will

is good TO have in popular form the brief but
adequate biographical sketch prepared by the

the charming portrait of the artist, painted by
