Jean it seemed was absent on a visit,
but was expected to return any min

received me kindly and babe me, as a
friend of Jeans, to make myself at
home.
The house was very old and the
dTawing-roOm which was used as a
guest chamber had an air of historic
association which was increased bv
the trophies of sport and war that
hung on the walls. The windows were
OF heaVy plate glass and were hung
with curtains of fine Brussels lace.
On the ceiling was a peculiar mosaic
file which was crumbling in places
with age. In one corner of the room
stood a carved oak cabinet containing
a valuable collection of glass articles,
Two of these in particular the Count
pointed out to me as the pride of his
collection. They were of crystal
without other ornament than their
natural purity and clearness. He in.
formed me that they were of the cele.
brated Venetian glass, so delicate
that If a poison were poured into one
