Kidd. "If he doesn't it will have been
hardly worth the flag of coming all

our things would have been the best
fun of all"

himself.
"Of course the mans fraud ana
deserves all he's got" the Journalist
thought. But I'll be hanged if like
seeing him take his medicine. He's Il

resolved. returning to the restaurant
with a steaming tureen and eight hot
plates on a tray. Without change

THANK you, but l don't mind, Miss
Alexander" said Loveland, with a
grateful look, which went so straight
~ Isidora's heart that tears started to
her eyes.
Val took away the eight soup plates
and would not see the amused glances
of the good looking Hungarians or Eli
nor Coolidge's French count. Roche
verte was not cruel at heart, but he
did not like Englishmen at best, and
Einor Coolidge, having told him the
story of Lord Loveland as she knew
it, had said: I'VE girls want to punish
him not only for the way he would
have deceived us all if he could, but
for his perfectly horrid, superciious
airs when we used to know him on
board ship. SO please help us by
sneering and staring as much as you
can without making scene"

best to keep his word.

Mr. Milton walked in, accompanied by
another man.

and spoke to every one civilly, darling
only one covert, ugly glance at his
wife, when her fascinated gaze rested
upon the fading bruse which discOl-

stunt, isn't it?' He eyed Loveland
up and down as if the Englishman
were a freak at museum. "Of course
the story was yours"
For the first time Val's eyes and
Tonys met. only for an instant, but
there was something like reproach in
Lovelands A trapped hare might
have thrown a look like that at the
keeper who trapped him.
