! his paper was responsible for the as
sertion that this marquis was not a
marquis. They merely put the ques-
ton and gave the answer for what 1t
was worth.
A number of people prominent in
| New York society had received cable
grams from London informing them
that the valet OF the Marquis of Love
| land had absconded with his lord
ships jewelry and other belongings:
that the fugitive was known TO have
impersonated his master in London,
obtaining goods from tradesmen and
running up bills at hotels in Lord
Lovelaud's name. If person calling
himself the Marquis of Loveland
! should appear In New York presenting
letters of introduction to the said prom
inent people earlier than the arrival
of the White Star liner Baltic they
were to beware of him, as the real
Lord Loveland expected to sail on that
| ship.
On the very day when these cable

on to state, there arrived by a
strange O. coincidence an attractive
looking and naughty young gentleman
known among acquaintances collected
on the Mauretania as Lord Loveland
This alleged nobleman had gone to the
Waidorf.Astoria. where, through n
servant of the hotel, 1t was soon dis
covered that his prctentious trunks
were practically empty.
Act 2 was n round of calls with let
ncnt people warned by n friend talso
prominently in England.
Act 3. scene in the Waldorf res
taurant, where some shipboard ac-
quaintnnces, dining with one of the
prominent people, had heard from him
of the cablcgram and of course refused
TO acknowledge acquaintance with the
attractive noblcman when he appear
ed In the room, ready to greet the
whole party with effusion.
Act 4. the hotel authorities being in
formed, request Lord Loveland" to
find other accommodation.
Act 3, the husband and father of
the two ladies whom Lord Loveland
met on the Mauretunia attacked and
knocked down in the street by the
difficult young man to approach"
Now, ut last, Loveland understood
everything that had happened to him
In New York, even TO the mystery of
the bank. Again he seemed TO see Cad
wallader Hunter bending to talk with
the good looking, dark young man
who had dincd with the Coolidges.
Mr.. van Cotter had doubtless been one
of those who had received the warn
| ing cablegrams, and naturally he had
passed on the interesting news TO the
| Coolidges and Millions. Cadwallnder
Hunter, who had stopped to chat with
| theparty. had been just in time to CLEAN
| the Information and had taken revenge
| for the Englishman's rudeness of the
morning by advising the hotel people
TO get rid of an undesirable client.
Oh, yes, II was easy enough to see
| 1t all now, even the reason why his

failed to answer his appeals for mon

was cabling and had accordingly re-

ham had abSconded somewhere. and
his misdoings had been discovered on
the other side before his late master

II all came from accepting the
| chance offered by Jim Marlborough to
sail on the Mauretania. But in spite
| of everything he had suffered Love-
land told himself that he would not
have 1t different. If he had come over
on the Baltic he would probably by
this time be engaged to some Ameri-
can heiress and would never have met

was putting him TO torture, and he was

"All this is a surprise to you, then ?"
Her voice broke into the midst of his
reflections over the newspaper cutting.
