CHAPTER II.

MY T was maxim of my Uncle M Williams that no man should I6eWaeI pass through Paris without
 S2s9 spending four and twenty hours there. My uncle spoke out of ripe experience of the world, and I honored his advice by putting up for a day and night at the Continental on my way to-the Tyrol. I called on George Featherly at the embassy, and we had a bit of dinner together at Durand's and afterward dropped in to the Opera, and after that we had lit tie supper, and after that we called on Bertram Bertrand, versifier of some repute and Paris correspondent to the Critic. He had very comfortable lit- tie suit of rooms, and we found some pleasant fellows smoking and talking. It struck me, however, that Bertram himself was absent and in low spirits, and when everybody except ourselves had gone I rallied him on his moping preoccupation. He fenced with me for awhile, but at last, fiinging himself on a sofa, he exclaimed:
 "Very we'll, have it your own way. I am in love-infernally in love!'
 ''Oh, you'll write the better poetry" said by way of consolation.
 He ruffled his hair with his hand and smoked furiously. George Featherly.

 T know that" snapped Bertram.
 Not that it would make any differ ence if she stayed" pursued the relent- less George. "She flies higher than the paper trade, my boy"
 Hang her" said Bertram.
 Tt would make it more interesting for me-" l ventured to observe, If knew who you were talking about"
 "Antoinette Mauban.- said George.
 "De Mauban." growled Eertram.
 "0ho" said I, passing by the ques- ton of the de. You don't mean to say. Bert

 where's she going to?" asked. for the lady was something of celebrity.
 George jinSled his money. smiled cruelty at poor Bcrtram and answered pleasantly:
 Nobody knows. B the way, Bert. I met a great man at her house the other night-at least about a month ago. Did you ever meet him-the Duke of Strelsau:'
 "Yes. I did" growIed Bertram.
 An extremely accomplished man, I thought him."
 It was not hard to see that Georges references to the duke were intended to aGgravate poor Bertram's sufferinss. 20 that drew the inference that the duke had distinguished Mime. de Mau- ban by his attentions. She was q wid- ov. rich. handsome and. according to repute. ambitious. It was quite pos sible that she. as George put fl. was flying as high as parsonage who was everything he could be short of enjoy Ing strictly royal rank. for the duke was the son of the late king of Ruri- tania by a second and mo-ranatic mar riage and half brother to the new king.
