evidently met with some accident. Peo-
| pie came rushing out to help repair it,
/ \ lady, hidden to her ears in a heavy fur
coat, was leaning ont of the car window
instructing her chauffeur.
A gentleman in the first auto was ask

the country seat of Countess Nalois,
straight ahead. sir" replied the land
lord; lust follow the telegraph poles and
you cannot miss it,"

He was Just about to order the chauf-
| feur to 60 on when the lady stopped him.
Excuse me, sir, hear you are going
to court. Would you please do me a
great favor?"

able to do anything for You, madam"
"Nill You please tell Countess Nalois
that | am delayed because of puncture
and that she need not worry about me
Oh, forgot to give YOU my naine-Bar

countess"
Il think that | shall accept your invi-

During the ride she had plenty of OPP
portunity to look at her unexpected com
panion. She was somewhat surprised
that she never had heard the countess
mention the name of this friend. She
was rather pleased with his fine profile,
his blonde mustache and his dreamy eyes.

probably of German or Dutch descent.
