thieu, apparently disappointed.
To-day smiled Groener, II enjoy
myself. This afternoon l escort my
pretty cousin to hear some music. Did
you know that, Aiice?" He turned
gayly to the girl.
Since the meal began Alice had
scarcely spoken. but had sat looking
down at her plate save at certain mo-
nlents when she would lift her eyes
suddenly and AK them ON Groener with
a strange, half-frightened expression.
You are very kind. Cousin Adolf
she answered timidly, "but-I'm not
feeling we'll today"
why. what's the matter?" he asked
in a tone of concern that had just
a touch of hardness in it.
The girl hesitated. and Mother Bon
neton put in harshly: III tell you,
she's fretting about that American
who was sent to prison-a good rid
dance it was"
You have no right to say that
flashed Alice.

"Have you never heard of Paul Co.

are out together. Run along now and

Alice rose from the table, deathly
white. She tried to speak, but the
words failed her; It seemed to Coquenil
that her eyes met his in desperate APP
peal, and then, with a glance al Groe-
ner, half Of submission, half of de-
1ance, she turned and left the room.
Now Madam Bonneton,' resumed
Groener cheerfully. while the young
lady gets into her finery we might have
