CHAPTER III.
The Garden Fete.

f|lHE gardens of Nine. Sonia Sa-
dowa's villa, just outside Paris,
were gayly decorated for a
IL lawn fete. The grounds vert
dotted with laughing groups of bright
ly dressed men and women, for Sonia
had particularly requested that all her
Marsovian guests wear their pictur-
esque native costume, and the result
was a veritable Kaleidoscope carnival
Of color, a 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 n~ervously now
and again to scan late arrivals In
search of some one. At length he de-
serted the man he sought. Nish was
just busting into the grounds, and the
ambassador at once beckoned to him.
"Now. then, Mr.. Nish," cried Popoff
as o o as the little clerk had sham
bled within earshot, ~ told you to
