CHAPTER VIII.
A NiQht In Nice,

sN'0VS ~ SNsSv
The drive to Nice Is not only Q short
but pleasant one. Mr.. Barnes, seated
by Lady Cheitris. though chatting
alertly. keeps both his eyes and his
ears open.
Once or twice the American listens
intently, he thinks he hears pursuing
hoofs. But these blend into the noises
Of general traffic as they reach and
pass through the old town. Crossing
the river by the Pont Neuf and turning
down the DUAL st. Jean, they drive
along the Avenue Massena nearly to
the sea.
Though visitors have for the last
month been leaving the great watering
place by the Mediterranean. there are
still enough sojourners to comfortably
fill the public gardens. The band 10
playing, the night Is only pleasantly
warm, and Lady Chartris seems In
high spirits as Barnes says to her:
You can drop me anywhere now.
Only, where shall meet you?"
AT the Hotel de la Mediterranee.
There Count Danella Is doubtless wait.
Ing for me-" replies the hostess. Call
for me at II and I'll drive you back"
Barnes alights and, as he glances at
the neighboring Hotel des Anglais, he
recollects this had been the scene Of
his first call upon Enid when Lady
Chartrls had invited him to accom-.
pany her and her charge to Monte
Carlo. He can scarce believe 1t is only
a month ago since he had looked in
her face. His step grows light with
happiness.
Suddenly somebody In the passing
throng mentions the name OF the fas.
cinating American adventures. A
Partisan countess is saying to a lady
frle nd: THAT La %Blackwood brushes
us with her toilettes. Did you ever
see such a robe as the wretch sported
today"
"By Jove, that reminds me. l won.
der what Sally has to say to me?"
thinks Burton. and pulls out an almost
forgotten note from his pocket.
A big arc light, which was the great
Illuminating medium OF that epoch.
permits him to read:
