leaving the room, as she probably
would have done, Margaret did not
like it. She was dying to ask him
questions about his lessons in Tartar,
and especially about his teacher and
she probably meant to cast her IN
quiries in such form as would make
it preferable to examine him alone
rather than before Mrs. Rushmore;
but he talked on and on, only pausing
an instant for the good lady's express
sions Of interest or approval.
He was telling her what a prime
minister had told an ambassador
about the pope, when Margaret rose
rather abruptly.
I'm awfully sorry" she said to Mrs.
Rushmore, by way Of apology, but /
really must have a little air. I've not
been out Of the house all day"
Mrs. Rushmore understood, and was
not hurt, though she was sorry not to
hear more. The dear child" should
go out, by all means, Would Mons.
Logotheti stay to dinner? No? She
was sorry. She had forgotten that
she had a letter to write in time for
the afternoon post. So she went of
and left the two together.
Margaret led the way out upon the
lawn, and they sat down on garden
chairs under a big elm tree. She said
nothing while she settled herself very
deliberately, avoiding her compan'
ions eyes till she was quite ready, and
then she suddenly looked at him with

fectation of establishment at her words
and manner.
"Have done anything you don't
like?" he asked in tone Of anxiety
and concern. "Was l rude to Mrs
Rushmore?"
Margaret looked at him a moment
longer, and then turned her head
away in silence, as II scorning to an

"Potts," She said Suddenly, and Then
Stopped.

"You are quite sure that 1t was
your brother who was speaking, ! sup
pose." she said.
"Oh, yes, ma'am! I looked down
over the banisters, and there he was!"
Margaret had the solid health Of a
great singer, and It would have been
serious trouble indeed that could
have interfered with her unbroken
and dreamless sleep during at least
eight hours; but when she closed her
eyes that night she was quite sure
that she could not have slept at all
but for Potts comforting little story
about the brother with the counter
tenor" voice. Yet even so, at the mo-
ment before waking in the morning,
she dreamt that she was at the tele-
phone again, and that words in a
strange language came to her along
the wire in soft and caressing tone
that could only be woman's, and
that for the first time in all her life
she knew what 1t was to be jealous.
The sensation was not an agreeable
one.
The dream-voice was silent as soon
as she opened her eyes, but she had
not been awake long without realiz-
Ing that she wished very much to see
Logotheti at once, and was profoundly
thankful that she had torn up her let
ter to Lady Maud. She was not pre-
pared to admit, even now, that Kon-
stantin was the ideal she should have

had been describing from imagination
when she had suddenly stopped writ
ing. But, on the other hand, the mere
thought that he had perhaps been
amusing himself in the society Of an
other woman all yesterday afternoon
made her so angry that she took
refuge in trying to believe that he had
spoken the truth and that she had
really been mistaken about the voice.
1t was all very well to talk about
learning Tartar! How could she be
sure that it was not modern Greek, or
Turkish? She could not have known
the difference. Was it so very unlikely
that some charming compatriot of his
| should have come from Constantine
pie to spend a few weeks in Paris?
She remembered the mysterious house
in the Boulevard Pereire where he
lived, the beautiful upper hall where
the statue of Aphrodite stood, the
doors that would not open like other
doors, the MISUNDERSTANDING en-
caustic painting Of Cleopatra in the
drawing room-many things which she
distrusted.
Besides, supposing that the language
was really Tartar-were there not
Russians who spoke 1t? She thought
there must be, because she had
vague idea that all Russians were
more or less Tartars. There was a
proverb about it. Moreover to the
English as well as to the French, Rus
SLAMS represent romance and wicked
ness.
She would not go to the telephone
herself, but she sent message to Lo-
gothet, and he came out in the cool
time Of the afternoon. She thought
he had never looked so handsome and
so little exotic since she had known
him.
He was received by Mrs. Rushmore
and Margaret together, and he took
noticeable pains to make himself
agreeable to the mistress OF the house.
At first Margaret was pleased at this;
but when she saw that he was doing
his best to keep Mrs. Rushmore from

WICKERSHAM MAKES PLEA.
Attorney General Argues For DissoIu-
ton of Standard Oil Trust.

Washington. March 17.-After listen
ing for three days to the arguments
of counsel the supreme court took un-
der advisement the appeal of the
Standard Oil company from the decree
of the federal court at st. Louis or
dering the dissolution of that corpora
ton because of it's violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
That this is the most important case
ever before the court was the opinion
expressed in the closing address Of
Attorney General Wickersham, who
spoke for three hours and demanded
the dissolution of the trust
Because of its importance the court
enlarged the time for arguments from
the four hours usually allotted to elev-
en and a quarter hours, the time be-
ing equally divided between the at
torneys for the Standard and the gov
ernment. David T. Watson of Pitts
burg, for the Standard company, de-
voted himself largely to the legal side
of the case, contending that the com
pany was not violator of the anti
trust law and that it was never in

capital, which were necessary under
modern business conditions.
