There is no question about Har-

the Union Pacific Railroad when it
was bankrupt and without credit,
and has made il the most important
railroad company in the country
not the most important railroad,
for there are more extensive that

The Union Pacific company owns
800 million dollars worth Of the

last woman in the world to underrate
her rival, and with discernmcnt saw
that his black-haired girl with the
milk-white skin was easily the most
attractive woman present. Mrs. Chant

rive. The former wore at least a quart
of large diamonds strewn over her
person. and, recalling with triumph
that this was her third dinner at the
Embassy during h season, considered
herself as good as married to Lord
Bau6esert, and adopted condescending
airs towards weak Mrs. Vereker. Alicia
had claimed a woman's prescience in
matters of the heart. She felt in

CONTINUED From Yesterday,

"It will be different" she said, from
any dinner 1 was ever at, because
when Lord Baudesert and Mrs. We're
ker know-you understand'-Sir Percy
understood well enough, n Lucy con-
tinued-"they will, of course, look back
and begin to canvass me and | want
them to have q good opinion of me-
To which Sir Percy, like a true lover,
replied:
How could they nave any other?'
Yet the thought of Lucy coming face
to face with Alicia Vernon made him
sick at heart.
1t was still light enough for them to
remain out of doors twenty minutes,
and the region of the Capitol, which
swammed with people during the day,
was absolutely deserted. A sudden i'm
pulse prompted Sir Percy to say to her,
as they strolled slowly along h quiet
streets in the twilight:
II have something to ask of you:
something I hope you will grant"
Lucy turned upon him two laughing,
adoring dark eyes,, but the look upon
Sir Percy's face sobered her.
.It is this-to have enough faith in
me to accept my word. There is some
thing in my past life, something which
the world might think of no great con-
sequence, something l will tell YOU
all about when we are married. 1t will
be a confession, but | repented of it
long before I ever met you, and | have
repented Of 1t a thousand times more
SINCE"
II could not marry any man whose
word I could disbelieve," replied Lucy
with calm confidence.
They walked together until within a
square of the hotel, when Lucy de-
manded that Sir Percy should leave her.
The evening of the Embassy dinner
came, and Sir Percy Carlyon. who al
ways acted as assistant host, was the
first guest to arrive, Almost imme-
diately General Talbot and Alicia Yer
non followed. Alicia, like most English
women, was at her best In the evening.
She was one of those rare women who
could wear jewels in her hair and look
well. and tonight she sparkled with
aems. No woman could cross a draw
ing-room floor with more grace than
Alicia Vernon, or could sit n rise and
bow with greater dignity. She was
more like an enthroned queen than a
pretty princess such as Lucy Army
tage's air and manner suggested when
she entered the drawing-room. Never
theless their charms were so differ-
ent that they enhanced, rather than

and he experienced a glow of pleasure
which a man feels when he basks in
beauty's light. But Eleanor Chantrey
was not much older than Lucy Army
tage and her range of conversation
was strictly limited to what had hap
pened since she came out in society.
Senator March had passed his fiftieth
birthday and liked to talk about things
which happened twenty-five years be-
fore. He had an agreeable feeling with
Mrs. Vernon of being contemporaries.

recognized Senator March's virtues as
a dinner man and was tactfnl enough
to keep to herself the surprise she felt
at finding an American so accomplished.
When the ladies left the table and
the gentlemen's ranks were closed up
for that comfortable after-dinner con-
versation, which is still the heritage of
the Englishman, Lord Baudesert took
pains to bring General Talbot and
Senator March into conversation to-
gether. Between the two men a good
understanding was instantly estab-
lished. General Talbot did not lose in
terest in Senator MARGINS eyes for be-
ing the father of the charming
who had sat next him. With the frank
friendliness of the American, he made
greater Roadway in General Talbott's
acquaintanceship during their half
hours talk than Ia Englishmen
make in a months companionshtp.
simultaneously Senator March k
permission to call, and General Talbot
gave a cordial invitation to him to do
so. Lord Baudesert was in high feather.
The dinner had been pleasant and
agreeable and he was pleased that Gen.
eral Talbot should see what admirable
dinner guests Americans of the best
sort made. Sir Percy Carlyon appeared
to be in his usual form, but,
as he sat smoking and talk
ing pleasantly, the thought that
Lucy Armytage and Alicia YER
non were at that moment in the
same room, on the same terms, m
reckoned to be OF the anne sort,
gnawed him like some beast.
Mrs. Vernon at that very time was
sitting on a sofa with Lucy Armytage,
and with perfect art and tao was
out from her many things which
the girl was quite unconscious of be-
traying. Alicia Vernon was puzzled
by the fact of a secret engagement.
