CHAPTER XVI.
White and Coral,

Spring in Paris, which comes in a
fashion SO divine that even the most
calloused and Indifferent are i'm.
| pressed by its beauty, awakened no
answering response in the heart of
| the young man who, from his hotel
window, looked out on the desecrated
| gardens of the Tuileries-on the dis.
tant spires Of churches whose names
| he did not knoW-on the square block
| boat across the channel taken by Let
| ty Lane, and the delay had made him
| lose what little trace of her he had
In the early hours of the morning
he had flung himself in at the St
James, taken the Indifferent room
they could give him in the crowded
season, and excited as he was he slept
and did not waken until noon. Blair
thought it would be a matter of a few
hours only to find the whereabouts of
the celebrated actress, but it was not
such an easy job. He had not guessed
that she might be travelling incognito,
and at none of the hotels could he
hear news of her, nor did he pass her
IN the. crowded, noisy, rustling, cry,
ing streets, though he searched mo-
tors for her with eager eyes, and
unted--restaurants and cafes, and
went everywhere that he thought she
might be likely to be.
At the end Of the third day, unsuc-
cessful and in despair, having hardly
slept and scarcely eaten, the unhappy
young lover found himself taking
slight luncheon in the little restau-
rant known as the Perouse down on
the Quais. His head on his hand, for
the present moment the JOY of life
gone from him, he looked out through
the windows at the Seine, at the
bridge and the lines of Towering trees.
He was the only occupant of the up
per room where, of, late, he had or
dered his luncheon.
The tide of life rolled slowly in this
quieter part of the city, and as Blair
sat there under the window there
passed a piper playing shrill, sweet
tune. 1t was so different from any of
the loud metropolitan clamors, with
which his ears were full, that he got
up, walked to the window and leaned |
out. 1t was a pastoral that met his
eyes. A man piping, followed by little
pattering goats; the primitive, un-
looked-for picture caught his tired at
tention, and, just then, opposite the
Quais, two women passed-fower sell

into his own room, remained there a
few moments, and when he came out
again he carried in his hand his va.
lise, which he put down with a bang
on the table. More calmly, but still
in great anger, he said to his fathers
friend:
"Now. can you tell me what you've
done or not?"
"Dan," said Ruggles with difficulty,
"if you will sit down a moment we
can"
The boy laughed in his face. "Sit
down." he cried. "Why, think you
must have lost your reason. / have
chartered a motor car out there and
the damned thing has burst tire and
they are fixing it up for me. 1t will
be ready in about two minutes and
then l am going to follow wherever
she has gone. She crossed to Paris,
but can get there before she can
even with this damned accident. But,
before I go, | want you to tell me
what you said"
"Why," said Ruggles quietly, "T told
her you were poor, and she turned
you down."
His words were faint.
Cod" said the boy under his
breath. "That's the way you think
about truth. Lie to a woman to save
my precious SOUL But / expect" he
said; you think she is so immoral
and so bad that she will hurt me.
Well" he said, with great emphasis,
"she has never done anything in her
life that comes up to what you've
done. Never! And nothing has ever
hurt me So"
tIis lips trembled. 81 have lost my
respect for you, for my fathers friend,
and as far as she is concerned, don't
care what she marries me for. She
has got to marry me, and if she
doesn't"-he had no idea, in his pas
sion, what he was saying or how
why, l think I'll kill you first and
then blow my own brains Quit" And
with these mad words he grabbed up
his valise and bolted from the room,
and Ruggles could hear his running
feet tearing down the corridor.

but clinging to him she prevented his
mad act. She stopped the car along
the edge of the quiet, wooded alice.
Blair saw that he had terrified her.
She covered her beating heart with
her hands and gasped at him that he
was "crazy, crazy" and perhaps lit
tie late his dignity and self-possession
returned.
81 am mad" he acknowledged more
calmly, "and l am sorry that | fright
ened you. But you. drive me mad"
Without further word he got out
and left her agitated, leaning toward
him, and Blair, less pale and thor
oughly the man, lifted his hat to her
and, with unusual grace, bowed good
night and good-by. Then, rushing as
he had come he walked off down
through the alice, his gray figure in
his gray clothes disappearing through
the vista of meeting trees.

'fWhy, what's poor Mr.. Ruggles got

Dan cried scornfully: For Gods

He interrupted roughly: "Who says

She understood that Dan believed
Ruggles' story to have been a cock
and-bull one.

me, Dan. Wait, listen" She put hin
back from her. Nov, if you won't be
quiet, I'm going to stop my car"
He repeated: Tell me, are you
alone in Paris? Tefl me. For three
days 1 have wandered and searched
for you everywhere; I have hardly
eaten a thing. 1 don't believe l have
slept a wink" And he told her of his
weary search.
She listened to him, part of the time
her white-gloved hand giving itself VI
to the boy; part of the time both
hands folded together and away from
him, her arms crossed on her breast
her small shoes of coral kid tapping
the floor of the car. Thus they rolled
leisurely along the road by the Bots
"Are you alone in Paris, Letty?"
And she said: ooh. what a bore you

nothing to do with you"
A glorious light broke over his
face; his relief was tremendous.

The boy threw back his bright head
and Laughter wildly.
Course him! The very name makes
me want to commit a crime. He will
go over my body to you. You hear
me, Lefty. l mean what I say"
People had already remarked them
as they passed. The actress was too
well known to pass unobserved, but
she was Indifferent to their curiosity
or to the existence of anyone but this
excited boy.
Blair, who had not opened a paper
since he came to Paris, did not know
that Lefty Lanes fight from London
had created a scandal in the theatri-
cal world, that her manager was suing
her, and that to be seen with her driv-
ing in the Bots was a conspicuous
thing indeed. She thought of it, how
ever.
81 am going to tell the man to drive
you to the gate on the other side OF
the park where it's quieter, we won't
be stared at, and | want you to leave
me and let me go to the Meurice
alone. You must, Dan, you must let
me go to the hotel alone"
He laughed again in the same
strained fashion and forced her hand
to remain in his.
Look here. You don't suppose l
am going to let you go like this, now
that have seen you again. You don't
suppose l am going to give you up to
that infamous scoundrel? You have
got to marry me"
Bringing all her strength of charac-
ter to bear, she exclaimed: II expect
you think you are the only person who
has asked me to marry him, Dan. /
am going to marry Prince Ponio-
towsky. He is perfectly crazy about
me-"
Until that moment she had not
made him think that she was indiffer.
ent to him, and the idea that such
thing was possible, was too much for
his overstrained heart to bear. Dan
cried her name in a voice whose ap-
peal was like a hurt creatures, and
as the hurt creature in its suffering
sometimes springs upon its torturer,
he flung his arms around her as she
sat in the motor, held her and kissed
her, then set her free, and as the
motor flew along, tore open the door

the spring-like beauty that the day

cravats and collars all around the
place, cursed like a miner as he got
into his clothes, and red almost to

asked shortly, and she flashed at him:

daring to take her hand. Il couldn't

stammered
