CHAPTER xIv.-(continued.)

IL was Fanchette who first caught
sight OF monsieur's carriage as IT stop
ped almost opposite the window she
was gazing from. and so extreme was
her alarm I'm consequence that she
could only point To II, while her lips
moved without n sound. The girl and
she had just returned from their ex-
cursion TO the Avenue Marceau. had
been discussing the advisability OF
flight from the Rue des Trois Freres
because OF their unfortunate encoun-
ter with Dirck Arendsen.
That individual had introduced him
self To them. even as Miss Sophia had
observed. first as fellow passenger
pof theirs upon the steamer. I'm which
guise they had already recognized
him. and then as a dear friend OF the
self-styled stephen Quaintance. who
was. he averred. searching the city
high and low for his errant cousin.
He had proved so determinedly insis-
tent that the girl had at length COM
piled with his request for her present
address, and she felt glad that she
had not yielded to the temptation to
mislead him, when Fanchette. looking
back as they turned In at the street
door. saw that he had followed them
thither at a respectful distance. He
had set of hot-foot Immediately he
was thus satisfied that II was safe to
do so. and might now be back at any
moment with one OF the two men

and thea he was writing again, fast

ut is never cold beneath thy smile. :"
He had remembered that also, and he
made it his own message and it reach
ed her the same as the first, but he
dared not look up to see what effect 1t
was having.
For the third time he was filing a
piece of paper with the objects OF his
Imagination, inspired with the sub
stance of all his dreams. This was
to be the last, he decided, and the
words were to be his truly own. The
soft, cadent, ravishing music Of the
orchestra nerved him on.
II love you" he wrote, forgetting
that the words were not new, but in
deed more ancient than all OF the 9TH
ers.
The pen dropped to the table. and
with both arms outstretched he lifted
the diminutiVe piece or paper towards

THE EVENING STORY

at business college they had awarded
him several prizes for penmanship,
and he could write If he couldn't
talk. And this was the evening during
which he had decided to ask her the
big question that was troubling the
very soul Of him.
The fountain pen was now moving
hesitatingly across the blank paper, Ill
timately framing beautiful doves and
birds and drawing lines possessing
true. curves. Then the hand began
moving faster and faster He looked
UP for an instant and she was silently
watching him. But his hand never
wavered. Two. three or four years
ago, was It, since he had last done
this. II mattered not. It seemed but
as yesterday And then it was all
done. all except that central, vacant
space. There was a place there to
write something.

remembered the words distinctly from

but In name only. and because IL
was too late then to remedy our mu-
tual mistakes. And there the matter
rests. II shall rest there though 1t
cost me my life to fight mems laws"
His hot eyes met hers for a mo-
ment, and he knew then that he might
neither bend nor break her will to
his-She was so very beautiful in her
disdain, defying him through life to
death itself. that he repent In that In
slant and more bitterly that he could
have thought possible a past more
soiled and black that she might even
imagine. For her sake, even at that

and--it is best so. Forget the past.
Think no more OF what might have

Presently Fanchette set to her pack

they might not lose a single moment
in making their escape from other
callers. Then they descended and
drove Oft In the more imposing equip
age, amid the open curiosity OF the
Due des Trois Freres.
A short hour after the two had fed
there came to the Rue des Trois
Freres in a great hurry a tall. fai!
man with bloodshot, quarrelsome eyes
and dark fellow wearing a great
black beard and moustache.

= they were most anxious TO escape.
And. In the meantime. came the other.
1T Is monsieur" the girl said list
lessly, after she had found out what
had so frightened Fanchette. The
hour she herself had been dreading
for so long had come. but IL found
her with senses dulled by anticipa-
ton.
~ Is monsieur. You must be brave
now. Fanchette. And do not leave
me for an instant. See, have some
thing here which will speak for us II
our own voices are not loud enough.
She slipped one hand into a pocket
of the coat she was still wearing and
} brought out the revolver which had
served her in such good stead on the
occasion OF her night journey from
New York to Stormport.
She herself therw the door wide open
and motioned to monsieur that he
might come In. He did so, deferen-
TALLY, hat in hand, speaking no word
until his sharp-eYed guide had once
more been shot out. And then,
\ "Dagmar!" he said imploringly.
= She scanned him closely for a mo-
ment. and saw that he had not chang
ed. Almost a twelvemonth had gone
by since that dark night on which she
had fled from him, leaving behind, In
token of her desperate resolve, the
wedding ring which he had placed
upon her finger an hour before. All!
Had she but known in time, had her
eyes not been so innocently blind to
the brand she could see 80 plainly
\ now on his smooth forehead. She
had once thought him handsome-and
believed In him-and trusted him i'm
plicitly. And insight into his true
character had come to her only an
shour too late!
She was no longer the unsophisti
Gated girl whom he with his wide
knowledge OF the world, had thought
he might still bring to book for hel
behavior. She was woman now, and
altogether lovely, this, his as yet I'M

in a tone at which he WINGED as

He bit his lip, counting the chances

nothing but the truth would serve
him.

But lister, Dagmar. / was no more

She shook her heard.

He bowed, choking down his cha
