Adeie?'
NO. not Adele she answered. Z" l leave you and
Adele to arrange your affairs. You can manage
that without any interference from me-
1 smiled and waited for her to proceed. She
was evidently thinking out her way. Her brows
knitted, her eyes fixed upon a distant
spot in the forest landscape of orange and red. Yet
l was sure that at that moment the wonderful
autumna tints which she seemed to be SO steadily
Mr.. Courage" she said at last, you are a SEN
sble and of honor. l should like to
talk to you conhdentialy
| murrnured something about being hattered,
but do not think that she heard me-
Il should like, she continued, ito have you
understand certain things which are in my mind
Just at present. and which concern also Mr.. de
Valentin.
l nodded The Princes identity was an open
secret, but his incognto was Jeaously observed.
L wonder she said slowly, looking for the first
time directly toward me, whether you have ever
seriously considered the question of the American
woman-such myself, for instance?"
| a little puzzled, and no doubt l looked it.
Mrs. Van Renberg proceeded calmly. 1t was made
clear to me that for the present at any rate, my
role to be simply that of listener. "My own
case, she said, is typical; at least suppose
speak for myself, and there are others in the house
at the present moment who profess to feel as do,
and suffer-as have done. In this country we are
taught that wealth is power. We or rather our
husbands, acquire inherit it, afterward we set
ourselves to test the truth of that little maxim We
begin at home. In about three years, or less,
reach limitations Then it begins to dawn
upon that, whatever else America is good for it
is no place for a woman with ambitions. We
on the top too soon and when there it doesn't
amount to anything"
Which accounts" remarked, for the invasion
of Europe"
Mrs. Van Reinberg leaned her fair little head
upon her white beringed fingers, and looked steadily
at me- had never for one moment ,nderestmated
her, but she had probably never much i'm
pressed me. There was something Napoleonic about
this slow unfolding of her carefully thought out
plans.
Naturally" she answered. What, however,
so few Of us are able to realize, is utter and
miserable failure in what you pleased to call
that INVASION
Failure?" 1 repeated incredulously.. II do not
understand that. One hears everywhere of the
social triumphs of the American woman
Mrs. Van Renberg's eyes shone straight into
mine. Her face expressed the most unmitigated
contempt: Social triumphs!' she repeated scorn-
fully. What claptrap! l tell you that season

CHAPTER XIV.

Mr. e naN R mnlSB loRswh Hn f the
midable person; Mrs. Van Rein
berg in her own house was despotism per-
sonifed. Her word was law; her rule was
absolute. Consequently, when she swept
out on to the sunny piazza, where a little
party of us were busy discussing our plans
for the day, we all turned toward her ex-
pectantly. We might propose; but Mrs.
Van Reinberg would surely dispose. We
waited to hear what she might have to
say.
Il want to talk to Mr.. Courage" she
declared. All the rest of you go awayl"
They obeyed her at once. We were
alone in less than a minute. Mrs. Van
Reinberg esta b1ished herself in low

beckoned to the steward. You will take some
thing?" he asked.
l ordered a whisky and soda, and lit cigarette.
l had tasted nothing like them since had left Eng
land
De Valentin leaned across the table toward me.
Mr. Courage he said, Il going to ask you to
accept confidence from me. You English
gentleman, and although have not the honor to be
myself Englishman, my associations with your
country have always been very close, and am well
aware that special significance attaches itself to
that term He paused and looked across at me
somewhat anxiously His speech slow, but
distinct. He had little accent; but l had known
quite well that he was not an Englishman.
Il shall be very glad to hear anything that you
have to say, Mr.: de Valentin," l answered.
He beat with his forefnger upon the table for few
moments absently l found myself studying him
critically. His appearance without doubt dis
tingushed. His salow face, his pointed black beard
his high, well shaped nose, and almost brilliant eyes,
gave him the appearance of Spaniard; but the
scrupuous exactness of his plain dinner clothes, his
manicured nails, and the ring upon his little finger
with its wonderful green stone all suggestive of
the French arstocrat. His eyebrows were knit just
now, though with thought. Presently he looked
up from the table and continued.
If you will permit me-" he said Il should like
to introduce myself My name is not Mr.. de Val
entin. l Victor Louis, Comte de Valentn,

" cannot take you seriously. Besides,
it is very unlikely that my servant would
accompany me to Lenox. If my pres

l really do not see why Mrs. Van Rein
berg asked me-
''She did SO thought1ess1y," de Valen-
tin answered. Her reasons were tolera-
bly, clear to me, perhaps to you. With
regard to them, l have nothing to say,
except that your visit could be paid
just as well, say in fortnight after we

Unfortunately" l answered, that

you, Miss Van Hoyt would have left. "

He smiled little YEARLY. "Yet it

he continued, to account for my trav-
cling in company with Mrs. Van Rein
berg and her daughters.
