She had heard Danilo's wild speech OF
goodby to Sonia and his announcement
that he was off to MaXim's. Hence
the ambassadors wife. with feeble
yearning to atone in some way for the
false position INTO which the widow
had been thrust for her sake, had re-
solved to follow in the hope Of securing
word in private with Danilo and
setting matters right again.
Natalie had not confided her plan to
her husband, and now as the party
were ushered to a secluded table in an
alcove she glanced at the riotous scene
about her with a delighted nervous
ness. The delight vanished suddenly,
however, and the nervousness waxed
to a panic fear as familiar voice
smote upon her ear.
Popoff had just come in and was
standing not ten feet away from the
secluded table where his wife sat
trembling.

"Not yet, sir" was the reply. "but he
will be here very soon. There Is

there" waving to a tableful Of gayly
appareled girls with tired eyed men.

He toddled of to the distant table,
where, to Natalie's Jealous eye, he
seemed to make himself at home with
phenomenal ease and quickness. BE
was scarce seated when Danilo strobe
in. The whole table rose to give the
prince noisy greeting
"Why, hello, your excellency" cried
Danilo. ''This is queer company for

the ambassador, drawing him aside.
