lady, and she protested about CONNIE

Fakir?" and, if you'll believe me. that
little beast was gone again, and poor
madame dashed OF in pursuit. Betty
made short work of bidding us good
by then, and at once got into the au-
tomobile, and was on.
We came slowly along back with
the red-haired man, and at the Arc de
Triomphe we ran into Mr.. Chopstone.
1t seems he went station too far be-
cause he met some people he knew in
the car behind us, and he says we
must all go to the Chatelet with him
tonight to make up. He said uncle,
too," so we accepted. Then we took
a cab and came back to the hotel,
where we found our beloved relative
with his feet on the center-table,
reading the Paris Herald. He looked
over the top at us and announced that
he'd done the Louvre" ! think We
must have looked startled, for he went
on to say at once that he knew that 1t
was something that had got to be
done, and that he shouldn't enjoy, and
so he had thought it best to go at 1t
the first thing on the first morning
and get it OF his mind at once. He
was very pleased with himself, be-
cause he says the "Baedeker" says
that it takes two hours and half to
walk through, and he was only gone
from the hotel two hours in all. Edna
asked him If he spent much time look
ing at the pictures. and he said:
Young lady, If you'd ever been In the
place, you'd never ask that question.
Why, the whole thing is lined with

We had to go to lunch, and uncle

house, and that they never meant to
take more than 20 minutes for the Sc
lection, and that they had been there
an hour already She felt badly be-
cause the itinerary had them visit

as the elevator goes, and Versailles
this afternoon She said they wanted
to try and call on the American con-
sui, too, to ask about a masseur. She
said Mr. Merrilegs said he thought If
they could get hold of good masseur
and keep him right with them that
they could manage to rub through to
the end.
Edna and l felt dreadfully sorry for
her; but there did not seem to be any
thing to do except look sad, and We
did that as heartily as we knew how
until in a minute or two Mr.. Merri-
legs hove in sight with funny little
Frenchman dancing round and round
him. Mr.. Merrilegs looked almost as
exhausted as his wife, and called Edna
by my name and me by hers. His
wife asked him if he had ordered the
pictures, and he said: NO; haven't
any more time to waste here. I've
given Claretie the paper with the
sizes of the spaces marked on it, an
he's to go through and measure till
he finds a famous picture to match

and he is really very much vexed over
Mrs. Clary's being at Neuilly. Edna
is vexed because Harry Is there, too,
and I'm very much vexed indeed be-
cause she thoughtlessly gave uncle
the letter at lunch. and when he read
about Monsieur Sibilet's wife being
his mother he was more put out than
ever. He said we could look out for
ourselves this afternoon, as he had
to 60 to the bank. Edna suggested
that we go to the Louvre, and he said
yes, that would be wise, because then
we would all be free to enjoy our
selves. Uncle speaks of the Louvre
exactly as If II we're the semi-annual
siege at the dentists. But he was
kind enough to offer to leave us there
on his way to the bank, and when we
took the cab, he arranged with the
eabman and the hotel-porter exactly
what the fare was to be, and held 1t in
his hand the whole way.

Paris.
Dearest Mamma: Well, we are ar
rivedl 1t is Paris at last! But
thought we should surely die in tran
sit / don't know what uncle would
have said if he had known that Lee
was in Rouen; he was dreadfully up
set over Mrs. Braytree's telling him
that she saw Lee in Havre.
We arrived last night, and the only
drawback is that Mrs. Clary isn't here.
She left note, and M. Sibilets wife
is his mother, and has place out at
Neuilly. and they were invited there
for three days. She will be back to-
morrow, and she left word for us to
go straight to the Bon Marche and
look at the white suits; so we did so.
We told uncle it was all right for us
to go alone, and he had just gotten
his mail, so he only said Hum! and
we went. Just as we were taking the
cab, who should we see but Mr.. Chop
stone. 1t was so lovely to see him
again. and he got into the cab and
went with us. We went to the Bon
Marche. but it wasn't much fun with
q man, so we came out after little,
and he proposed taking the subway
and going to the Trocadero. Just
then we met a man that Mr.. Chop
stone knew, and he had red hair and
eyeglasses. Mr.. Chopstone introduced
him. and invited him to go along; but
he said it was no use. because it was
the wrong day and we couldn't get in
when we got there. BY this time we
were down in the subway. and Mr..
Chopstone suggested that We go to
the Bots. so as not to have to go back
up the stairs again. While we were
talking the train came and went in a
terrible hurry. and we got aboard in
between. After we were of we found
that Mr. Chopstone wasn't on. We
didn't know what to do, because. OF

course. It was he that we knew, and
not the red-haired man. The red
haired man said he would do what
ever we pleased, and Edna thought we
had better get right of; but thought
we ought to 60 right on. We didn't
know what to do. and SO we kept on
TO the Bots.
The Bots was Just lovely-all auto
mobiles and babies; and who do you
think we met? Betty Burleigh. We
were so surprised, for ! thought she
was In California for her lungs; but 1t
seems that she's been in Dresden for
her music all winter, and now she's
here for her clothes. She was with
an elderly French lady, and ] don't
think that the elderly French lady
liked to have her stop and talk to us.
I thought at first that perhaps 1t
wasn't proper on account of the red
haired man, but in a second ! saw the
real reason. Betty glanced around
and said, "Oh. madam. on est Fakir?
Whereupon the elderly French lady
looked absolutely terrified and tore
madly on. We had quite long talk
before she came back with the most
awful little black dog, which they evil
IDENTIFY had no string to. She put him
down and began to look displeased
again, and Betty just glanced about
and said calmly, "Oh. madam. GU es
Fxkirr' He had absolutely vanished
again, and the elderly French lady
sort OF threw up her eyes and rushed
wildly away. The red-haired man
said. why don't you buy chain for
him." Betty shrugged the Frenchiest
hind of shrug and said. Il don't have

said. 81 should think she would buy
the chain then!" and Betty shrugged
4 much Frenchier shrug, and said:
81 wouldn't allow It. While she is
running after him can do as
please." The red-haired man laughed.
Poor madame came painting up with
the creature Just then. and Betty said
sweetly, "Laissezlui courir," so she
had to put him down; but could see
that she meant TO keep sharp eye
ON him. Betty wanted US all to come
tn the Palais and lunch with her; but
of course we refused. because you
wouldn't have liked It. and. anyway
we had to 60 back to uncle. She
wanted the red-haired man to stay
any how. and was quite put out when
he declined. Just then two men In

room, you know" and her husband
said, Yes, yes, he understands; and
he says he'll find Susanna to fit your

then with a very audible groan. and
they both shook hands with us in a
way that quite wrung our hearts.
Then they limped away with the little
Frenchman spinning gaily about them.

In the very next room we met Mr..

see us, and said, with our permission.
he'd join us; but as he seemed Joined
anyway, we didn't even dream of re-
fusing. He asked if we'd told uncle
about the Chatelet, and then we re-
membered that we had forgotten. He
said he was so glad, because he
couldn't get any seats except baig-
noirs, and they looked queer, because
no one can see you. He asked II we
would like to go to the opera instead,
and we were just discussing 1t when
we turned a corner and ran right ON
to Betty Burleigh and the red-haired
man. His name is Potter, and, did you
ever, They looked so upset that 1t
can't have been an accident, their be-
ing together. But hoy could they have
arranged it? If they didn't arrange II.
why did they look upset? Betty had
on a bright green cloth dress and
violet hat, and the red-haired man
heightened the general effect so much
that we moved on as quickly as pos
sible. Mr.. Chopstone said very round

minute. and then said 1t seemed droll
to think that If we were all English,
we'd be pleased to call poor Betty a
typical American.
We came home when the Louvre
closed and found uncle back with his
feet on the comfortable. He had had
a big fire built, for he said 1t gave
him chills to look at the nymph over
his bed. He had put in true Merri-
