seen.
The hotel is reached at last, and II
nay be set down as certain that the
ladies are very glad to see it. AL
though comparatively only a few
nours have elapsed since they quilted
the hospitable caravansary, what they
have passed through makes the time
appear doubly long
Thus they part again for the night
IL is not far from Thursday morning
now, and two more days will see their
stay in Paris come to a close.
The stirring event of this night has
had considerable effect in causing our
characters to understand each other
better.
With Bob and Dora the matter
seems settled beyond all dispute, and
little Professor John will find he has
fought his ridiculous duel to no avail.
In Miss Pauline's case, she finds
her admiration for Dick advancing
with great bounds-though not yet
ready to confess that she loves him,
she nevertheless is willing to admit
that her admiration for his manly
qualities goes far ahead of anything
she has hitherto experienced.
Nor can she feel anything for Jua-
nita Lopez save commiseration-the
field is free to all, and unless Dick has
declared his love for the Mexican girl,
she has no claim upon him. At the
same time, whenever she thinks of
Juanita, who confessed that she never
had the training of a mother, as her
parent died while she was a babe,
Pauline's heart grows tender.

Wearied by the excitement of the
day, she sleeps soundly. only in the

Morning at last.
Another day has begun in Paris, and
as the October weather is simply de-
llghtful, it is apt to be but a repeu-
ton of those gone before.
Dick and Colonel Bob have numer-
Gus duties to perform. since they
leave Paris so soon and this morning
is devoted to them. In the afternoon
comes a message from the project,
which calls for Dicks presence, SO he
again visits that peculiar Office, and
has a short interview with the man
who virtually rules Paris.
The project has had the report of
NJ. Francois. and he desires Monsieur
Denver to read it over. and add what
may have been omitted
Dick finds that the other has allud-
ed to him in terms OF great praise.
THAT is the only thing object to

placed upon his shoulders, not mine,
he exclaims, when he had finished.
"Tis ever thus with brave men,"
