CHAPTER III.
The Garden Fete.

l~1HE gardens of Nine. Sonia Sa-
dowa's villa just outside Paris,
were gayly decorated for a
~ lawn fete. The grounds were
dotted with laughing groups of bright
ly dressed men and women, for Sonia
had particularly requested that all her
Marsovian guests wear their pectur-
esque native costume, and the result
was veritable Kaleidoscope carnival
Of color, perfect riot Of gorgeous
hues and striking figures.
Ambassador Popoff. his long. lean
figure draped in vivid green, was pac-
ing the alleys Of the garden near the
entrance gate, pausing nervously now
and again to scan late arrivals in
search Of some one. At length he de-
serted the man he sought. Nish was

J. c. Hawthorne, when taking the mail
from his mail box at his residence
near Hedrick.
To say that Mr.. Hawthorne was
somewhat surprised and at a loss TO
account for the strange missive, puts
the thing rather mildly. Mr.. Haw-
thorne is not man of poor means
and would be able to comply with the
demand il he was weak enough to do
so, but he is made of a fighting ma
terial that does not give up without a
struggle and as result set about to
foil the extortioners. Taking the let
ter to Mayor Wade Kirkpatrick of
Hedrick, who is also justice of the
peace, Mr.. Hawthorne told the circum-
stances connected with the black hand
letter and turned the missive into the
hands of Mayor Kirkpatrick.

and was decorated with pencil draw
