| finely emotionless, resembled Il
cameo, whose velvet eyes she
dared not seek behind their cur
tanning lashes.
Yet Stanief was faultlessly cour-
teous, even kind in his grave man
ner. 1t might have been merely
that he was so different from her
fancies of the last weeks.
The wedding was to take place
in two days: two days of fest
ties. of maryelously decorated
streets, of wonderful balls by.
night, lria did exactly as she was
told; yielded dazedly to Adrian's
caresses and accepted the Regents
lavish gifts. Like a beautiful toty
she allowed her ladies to dress her
half a dozen times day. and
listened submissively TO her
mothers advice. But the after
noon before her wedding day. she
saw Stanief alone for the first
| line.
After all, it was not really alone.
The Emepror had been chatting
with her on the great glass-en-
closed balcony. and as Stanief
came toward them. he rose with a
significant smile and went back to
the reception hall. Still, from that
crowded reception hall they were
only separated by arching, open
arcades. only slightly screened by
towering palms and flowers in
huge vases.
Statnief took thte chair beside
his fiancee and looked at her; this
was the first moment when he
could do so without feeling him
self watched by all curious eyes.
He had read perfectly the terror
under her mute passivity. the
shrinking of her tiny frost-sold
hand from his touch, and he pitied
her with all his heart. Now, in
the lustrous rose-pink gown against
which her transparent skin showed
without tinge of color. her bronze
bright head averted, her mouth
curved in childish pathos, she in
spired him with an anger against
Adrian which he had never felt for
himself.
Princess" he said gently, we
have seen so little of each other
until now. nor shall we again until
after tomorrow. May | say some
thing which has been in my
thoughts since we met yesterday"
LAS you will, monseigneur," she
murmured.
Il think it Is as you will" Stan
ief corrected, smiling in spite of
himself But | accept the permits
sion VIII you forgive me if have
imagined that YOU feared me, Prin-
cess?"
lria raised her topaz eyes to his
in complete dismay.
"Monseigneur, YOU are angry"
The sentence broke; those firm,
steadily tranquil eyes of his caught
and held hers.
Angry? Why? But | am sorry,
deeply sorry, for the net of policy
which has enmeshed us both and
left me no power of freeing you.
And ! would do all possible, Prin-
cess, TO make this less hard for
you. There is ma need to be afraid
of me in any way. | do not know
what they have told you OF me, II
govern the Empire severely, ii is
that order may come from chaos.
no more. OF what else | may be
accused"
"Monseigneur,"
He smiled again at her tone,
rather sadly.
"Oh, | know my enemies. But
such things have no place between
you and me. John Allard was of
your suite: perhaps he could have
told you that | am not all harsh
ness"
She snatched her gaze from his
and blushed as he had never seen
a woman blush before, the heavy
crimson staining her very fore
head.

said. Il. do not. Monsieur, in

ever thought how wise King Arthur
would have been, if instead of send
ing I.ancelot to Lady Guinevere in
his place. he had himself gone to
meet her in 4ancelot's guise?"
why, never did think Allard
acknowledged merrily. But GER
tainly he would have been much
wiser. madame"
He regarded her in bright ques-
ton which drew the answer of her
flush.
DO not modern King Arthurs
ever choose the wiser cQurse?" she
faltered.
Perhaps they are too busy and
hampered, madame. as the ancient
king may have been also. Since |
have lived at court | have al
tered my ideas of such subjects.
| never saw any one who worked so
hard as the Regent. He has set

Iria's expression clouded slightly;
the glance she stole at her com
panion was puzzled and full of
dawning terror

"Then the Grand Duke Is wait

hand toward the north, lifting her
small white face to him, the gol-
den-brown curls tossing in the
breeze
Even then he had no conception
of her mistake.
Surely, madame; where else?"
he wondered.
The Gentle Princess made no ex
clamation, no reproach. Only her
head dropped again, and shivering
she drew the veil about her face.
Il am tired, monsieur" she
gasped. "Will you take me back?"

and gave him her hand with
smile whose sweetness was beyond

friends over there. You are going
home, but | go a stranger to
strange place; meant no more
than that"
She was like Theodore. Allard
thought, deeply moved. Surely
Stanief would be gentle with her
gentleness.
The next morning they landed.

Adam had no drug store on the corner
he could walk to;
Adam had no telephone. and no friends
he could talk to-
Adam had no "aS Jets in his house, nor
meter humming.
And he had no house at all where people
could be coming.
Adam had no relatives to come upon
visit
If you'd mentioned visit to him he'd
have asked What is it?"
But he did not have you there that little
word to mention,
And he hadn't an mail demanding his
attention.
Adam never got a postcard nor received
letter.
Adam never called himself a creditor or
p debtor,
Adam knew nobody who could take the
time to write him,
Adam thus missed politics and folk who
fain would fight him.
Adam had no enemies. he did not own an
auto,
Had no roads to ride upon at speeds
which he ought not to.
Had nc. courts to fine him If he struck
gait unlawful.
Had no breakfast food nor buckwheat
cake, nor even waffle.
Adam had no servant woes to fill. his life
with trouble,
I1du no StulI 10 GOWN MS woes and make
his vision double
Had no clubs, or matinees. or hooks or
daily papers
That would run his picture in when he
cut foolish capers.
Adam had no money, and he had no
place to spend it:
Even if he'd had the. coin. he had No
chance to lend it,
Had no cash. or in his pockets he'd have
had to hold it: -
Adam had no trousers to have mock cts

Adam did not have a thing that wa hava
