Denton was to sail for Europe the

taken up with packing. With that ex-

to farewell suppers.
Yet half a dozen men from the Of

at the "Tarascon" apartment house to
wish him bon voyage. found his rooms
In order and his trunks all packed,
and found Denton seated reading in
the apartments one remaining chair.
He received his unannounced Wis
itors civilly enough, and explained
that his packing had taken less time
than he had expected, which &C.
counted for his present idleness.
The men seated themselves wher-
ever they could find room, whether
on trunks, tables or strapped boxes.
The talk turned in a few minutes to
barret's newest story.
While his six companions listened
envyingly, the writer outlined the plot
OF this story Of his.

story Of Balzac's," commented Denton
when the recital was finished.

The knob was quickly turned, and
the door opened and shut again before
the men could catch their breath.
Leaning against the closed door and
facing them stood a girl. She was
dressed with elaborate plainness, but
bore the word Thoroughbred" stamped
on every feature of her flushed,
frightened face, on every curve of her
slender, trembling figure.
She stood there aghast at sight Of
