ter, and Mrs Rushmore had given
strict orders that until further notice
Miss Dome was mot at home" for
any one at all, no matter who might
call.
When the letter already covered ten
pages, Margaret laid down her pen
and without the least pause or hesita-
tion tore the sheets to tiny bits, ink
ing her fingers in the process because
the last one was not yet dry.
What a wicked woman l ami" she
exclaimed aloud, to the very great
surprise of Potts, her English maid,
who was still unpacking in the next
room, the door being open.
BEG pardon, ma'am?" the woman
asked, putting in her head.
Il said was a wicked woman"
Margaret answered, rising; "and
what's more, l believe I am. But
quite forgot you were there, Potts, or
1 probably should not have said it
aloud"
Yes, ma'am," answered Potts meek
ly, and she went back to her unpack-
ing
Margaret had two maids, who were
oddly suited to her two natures. She
had inherited Alphonsine from her
friend the famous retired soprano.
Nine. Bonanni, and the cadaverous,
clever, ill-tempered, garrulous dresser
was as necessary to Cordova's theatri-
cal existence as paint, limelight, wigs
and an orchestra. The English Potts,
the meek, silent, busy and intensely
respectable maid, continually made 1t
clear that her mistress was Miss
Dome, an English lady, and that Nine.
Cordova, the celebrated singer, was
what Mr.. Van Torp would have called
"only a side-show."
The letter that had been torn up
before it was finished was to have
gone to Lady Maud, but Margaret her
self had been almost sure that she
would not send it, even while she was
writing.
She had written that she had done
very wrong in engaging herself to Lo-
gotheti; that was the "wickedness'
she accused herself of, repeating the
self-accusation to her astonished maid,
because it was a sort of relief to say
the words to somebody. She had writ
ten that she did not really care for
him in that way; that when he was
near she could not resist a sort OF
natural attraction he had for her, but
that as soon as he was gone she felt
1t no longer and she wished he would
not come back; that her ideal of a
husband was so and so, and this and
that--and here fiction had begun, and
she had put stop to it by destroying
the whole letter instead of crossing
out few lines-which was a pity; for
If Lady Maud had received it, she
would have told Mr.. Van Torp that he
needed no help from her since Mar
garet herself asked no better than to
be freed from the engagement.
Logotheti did not come out to Ver-
sailles that afternoon, because he was
plentifully endowed with tact where
women were concerned, and he ap-
piled all the knowledge and skill he
had to the single purpose of pleasing
Margaret. But before dinner he tele-
phoned and asked to speak with her,
and this she could not possibly refuse.
Besides, the day had seemed long, and
though she did not wish for his pres
ence she wanted something-that indie
scribable, mysterious something which
disturbed her and made her feel un-
comfortable when she felt it, but
which she missed when she did not

palngs and two houses broken into

Householder put up a fight and re-
pulsed the assailants who fed In the

fashion. Ed Woods. who is said to

Prince Albert, Heir Apparent,
Is Ready to Assume Throne
and Cabinet Remains in
Continuous Session.

Brussels, Belgium, Dec. 13.-It Is
announced this noon that King Leo
pold was dying. The end Is expected
within "a hours.
In a desperate battle to prolong
Leopold's life, Doctors Thieriar and
Stienon announced today that an
operation will be performed tomor-
row, IL his strength permits. Ii is be-
lieved the operation will be futile,
but the physicians say his condition is
such that there Is no other recourse.
Leopold |. is II years old and has
been on the throne OF Belgium since
1865. He Is chiefly known for his
patriarchal beard and his licentious
tendencies. He is held responsible
for the Congo horrors.
Cardinal MERCER today admins
tered extreme JUNCTION to Leopold.
The king realizes his end is near and,
according to Prince Albert. of Elan
ders, the heir apparent, his cynicism
has disappeared and his whole
thought is now centered on the future
OF his country. His change of mental
condition is considered significant.
Drs. Thiriar and Stienon are in
constant attendance. The kings i'm
mediate trouble is strangulated hernia
The acute recurrence of the trouble,
following the kings weakened condi-
ton from rheumatism and his recent
paralytic stroke. make the outcome of
an operation extremely doubtful.
The Only interest the public shows
In Leopold's condition results from
fear that his death may seriously
affect the market. There is not a
personal note of grief in the peoples
solicitude. as the king never was a
loved ruler.
Prince Albert is at the palace and
preparations are being made for his
immediate assumption of administra-
tive duties. The cabinet practically
is in continuous session.
