He arrived in an automobile" an
swered Mrs. Rushmore, and she
paused.
What old Griggs calls a sudden
death-cart," Mr.. Van Torp put in.
What shocking name for it,"
cried Mrs. Rushmore. And you are
always in them, my dear child" She
looked at Margaret. "A sudden-death-
cart! 1t quite makes me shiver"
"Griggs says that all his friends
either kill or get killed in them ex-
planned the American.
My throat-doctor says motoring is
very bad for the voice. so I've given
it up" Margaret said
\ Really? Thank goodness your pro-
kfesson has been of some use to you
VRt last, my dear!"
Margaret laughed.
Tell us about the Russian count"
she said. Has he found lodgings, or
is he going to sleep in his motor?'
MY dear, he's the most original
man you ever heard of First, he
wanted to buy the hotel and turn us
all out. and offered any price for it,
but the director said it was owned by
a company in Munich. Then he sent
his secretary about trying to buy a
house, while he dined, but that didn't
succeed either He must be very
wealthy or else quite mad"
Mad, I should say" observed Mr..
Van Torp, slowly peeling a peach.
Did you happen to catch his name,
Mrs Rushmore?"
"Oh. yes! We heard nothing else
all the afternoon. His name is kra-
linsky-Count Kralinsky."
Mr.. Van Torp continued to peel his
each scientifically and economically,
Xough he was aware that Margaret
was looking at him with sudden curl
osity.
"Kralinsky." he said slowly, keep
ing his eyes on the silver blade of the
knife as he finished what he was do
ing ITS not an uncommon name,
believe I've heard 1t before. Sounds
Polish, doesn't it?"
He looked up suddenly and showed
Margaret the peeled peach on his
fork. He smiled as he met her eyes,
and she nodded so slightly that Mrs.
Rushmore did not notice the move
ment.
Did you ever see that done better"
he asked with an air of triumph.
Ripping" Margaret answered.
You're a dandy dab at it,"
MY dear child, what terrible
slang"
I'm sorry" said Margaret I'm
catching all sorts of American express
sions from Mr.. Van Torp, and when
they get mixed up with my English
ones the result is Babel, | suppose"
.T'ye not heard Mr.. Van Torp use
nv slang expressions yet, my dear"
said Mrs. Rushmore, almost severely.
"You will" Margaret retorted with
a laugh. What became of Count Kra-
lnsky? ! didn't mean to spoil your
story"
my dear, he's got the pastor to
give up his house. by offering him
a hundred pounds for the poor here"
Van Torp left them soon after sup
per, and gave himself up to Stemp,
pondering over what he had accom-
plished in two days, and also about
another question which had lately pre-
sented itself. When he was ready to
send his valet to bed he sat down at
his table and wrote a telegram:
