changes of horses most uncertain,
nothing could be more simple and nat
ural than to import automobiles from
Paris. Looking into the matter, he
found that they would have to be pur-
chased outright, as the renting of five
machines would put his credit to too
severe a test. Accordingly Bertier tel
egraphed a wholesale order, which
taxed the resources of the manufacture
ers and caused much complaint from
some customers whose work was unac-
countably delayed. The arrangement
made by the courier was that they
were to be taken back at a greatly re-
duced price at the end of six weeks.
The machines were shipped at once,
five TO Milan and one to the address OF
the mysterious marquise in Florence
Ii was with sharp regret that Mon
ty broke into the idyl of the villa, for
the witchery of the place had got into
his blood. But a stern sense of duty,
combined with the fact that the Paris
chauffeurs and machines were due in
Milan on Monday, made him ruthless.
He was astoniShed that his orders to
decamp were so meekly obeyed, for
getting that his solicitous guests did
not know that worse eXtrava gance lay
beyond. IAe took them to Milan by
train and lodged them with some splen-
dor at the Hotel Cavour Here ne

was just too late to hear the wonderful
company of artists who had been sing
ing at La Scala. The season was but
/ just ended. Here was an opportunity
missed, indeed, and Brewster's vexa
. ton brought out an ironical comment
| to Bertier. 1t ranked, but it had its
I effect. The courier proved equal to
/ the emergency. Discovering that the
! manager of the company and the prin-
cipal artists were still in Milan, he
! suggested to Brewster that a special
/ performance would be very difficult to
secure, but might still be possible. His
J. chief caught at the idea and authorized
him to make every arrangement, re-
serving the entire house for his own
| party.
But the place will look bare" pro-
tested the courier, aghast.
Fill it with flowers; cover it with
tapestries" commanded Brewster. Il
put the affair in your hands, and l
trust you to carry it through in the
right way. Show them how it ought to
be DONE"
Bertier's heart swelled within him at
the thought Of so glorious an opportu-
nifty. His fame, he felt, was already
established in Italy. It became a mat
ter of pride to do the thing handsome
~, and the necessary business arrange
ments called out all his unused re-
sources of delicacy and diplomacy
When it came to the decoration Of the
opera house he called upon Pettingill
for assistance, and together they super
intended an arrangement which cur
tanned off a large part of the place and
reduced it to livable proportions. With
the flowers and the lights, the tapes
tries and the great faded flags it be-
came something quite different from
/ the usual empty theater.
