Now broke out. Good God! How
can I be held to blame for the act of
a drunken friend? You know Jack

cautioned him-I was not responsible
for his condition"
''It was not that decided me-"
''You could not believe it was I who
sent you that accursed shoe which be-

Now, as readily may be seen, was
obliged again to hesitate. There were
good reasons to keep my lips sealed.

came to my cheek was matched by
that of indignation in her own. I
could not tell her, and she could not
understand, that my work for Mr.. Cal
houn with that other woman was
work for America, and so as sacred
and as secret as my own love for
her. Innocent, / still seemed guilty.

"You do not care to tell me where
you got it."
NO." said I; 81 will not tell you
where I got it."
"Why?"
Because that would involve another
woman"
Involve another woman? Do you
think, then, that on this one day of
her life, a girl likes to think of her
her lover-as involved with any other
woman? All, you made me begin to
think. I could not help the chill that
came on my heart. Marry you'll
could not! I never could, now"
But you loved me once" I said
banally.
Il do not consider it fair to mention
that now"
Il never loved that other woman. I
had never seen her more than once.
You do not know her"
"Ah, is that it? Perhaps I could tell
you something of one Helena Won
Ritz. Is it not SOP"
Eyes, that was the property Of
Helena Won Ritz" I told her, looking
her fairly in the eye.
Kind of you, indeed, to involve me,
as you say, with lady of her prece-
dents!"
Il hardly think any one is quite just
to that lady," said I slowly.
Except Mr.. Nicholas Trist! A beau
tiful and accomplished lady, I doubt
not in his mind"
Still I went on stubbornly: But
may not see your father and have
my chance again? I cannot let it go
this way. 1t is the ruin of my life"
But now she was advancing, drop
ping down a step at a time, and her
face was turned straight ahead. The
pink of her gown was matched by the
pink of her cheeks. l saw the little
working of the white throat wherein
some sobs seemed sitting. And SO
she went away and left me.

a WIRY LITTLE AMBASSADOR

James Bryce, ambassador of Great
Britain to the United States, is one
of the youngest old men in official cir
cles in Washington. He is past 70,
and yet he is as active, physically
and mentally, as though he were 20
years younger. In the winter when
other men go about with Threats muf-
fed up and overcoats buttoned snug
ly about them, Ambassador Bryce is
frequently seen walking briskly down
Connecticut avenue with no wrap out
side his frock coat Cold has no ter
rors for him and he stands the heat
equally as we'll. Some time ago he
had an appointment with Secretary
Knox at the state department about
noon, and at that hour the thermome-
ter lowered about 100 and mounting
higher. But on the stroke Of the hour
in hustled Mr.. Bryce, looking cool as
a cucumber, ready for bushes and
apparently not worried over the op-
pressive temperature that wilted peo
pie generally. Mr.. Bryce is just as

A few days after school opened in

PIMPLFS COVERED HIS BACK

My troubles began along in the
summer in the hottest weather and
took the form of small eruptions and
itching and a kind of smarting pain.
1t took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass Of
plmples which would burn and itch at
night so that could hardly stand it.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
of big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
a clot of blood.
Il tried various remedies and salves
for nearly three years and | was not
getting any benefit. 1t seemed was

on my back or lean on a chair. was
finally given a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and inside of two weeks I

MILLIONAIRE'S WIFE BROKE

Mrs. Theodore Perry Shonts, moth
err Of a duchess and wife of an Ameri-
can millionaire, recently found herself
in Paris unable to leave her apart
ment, which she must vacate at once,
according to the lease, on account Of
not having money to pay the usual
charges made when a tenant quits.
Mrs. Shonts rented an apartment on
the Avenue Hoche several years ago
at an annual rental of $1,000, exclusive
Of taxes and other charges which
would run the figures much higher.
Obeying an urgent, imperative sum-
mons from her husband to return to
America, she gave notice that she
would not renew the lease when the
time expired.
The difficulty with her husband
caused him to stop sending the usual
remittances and when a bill for $500
was presented by the landlord to Day
for damages done to the apartment
during the term of the lease, Mrs.
Shonts found herself without money

Forty years in one job is not bad

put him in touch with some Of the
sources of information to which he
would need to refer in the work upon
which he was now engaged. We had
spent a couple of hours together, and

the intent of looking in upon the de-

only that she was going, and with her
all the light of the world; that she

her, had full opportunity to see that
no grief had preyed upon her comeli-

her damask cheek. Almost with some
resentment | saw that she had never

CHAPTER XXI.-Continued.

Her face was half hidden by her
fan, and her eyes, covered by their
deep lids, gave no sign of her
thoughts. The same cold voice went
on:
you might, for instance, tell Mr..
Polk, which is to say Mr.. Van Zandt,
that if his name goes on this little
treaty for Texas, nothing will be said
to Texas regarding his proposal to
give Texas over to England. 1t might
not be safe for that little fact gen
orally to be known in Texas as it is
known to me. We will keep it secret.
You might ask Mr. Van Zandt if he
would value a seat in the senate Of
these United States, rather than a
Iynching rope! So much do I value
your honorable acquaintance with Mr..
Polk and Mr.. Van Zandt, my dear
lady, that l do not go to the latter and
demand his signature in the name of
his republican,, / merely suggest to
you that did you take this little treaty
for day, and presently return it to
me with his signature attached, |
should feel so deeply gratifed that I
should not ask you by what means
you had attained this most desirable
result! And / should hope that if you
could not win back the affections of
certain gentleman, at least you might
win your own evening of the scales
with him"
Her face colored darkly. In flash
she saw the covert allusion to the
laithless Pakenham. Here was the
chance to cut him to the soul. She
could cost England Texas! Revenge
made it's swift appeal to her savage
heart. Revenge and jealousy, ham
died coolly, mercilessly as weapons
those cost England Texas!
She sat, her fan tight at her white
teeth. ut would be death to me if it
were known" she said. But still she
pondered, her eye alight with somber
Gre, her dark cheek red in a woman's
anger.
But it never will be known, my
dear lady. These things, however,
must be concluded swiftly. We have
not time to wait. Let us not argue
over the unhappy business. Let me
think of Mexico as our sister republic
and our friend!"
And suppose / shall not do this
that you ask, senor?"
That, my dear lady, l do not sup
pose!"
You threaten, Senior Secretary"
"On the contrary, | implOrei Dear
lady, may we not cOnspire together
for the ultimate good of three repub-
lies, making of them two noble ones,
later to dwell in amity? Shall we not
hope to see all this continent swept
free of monarchy, held free, for the
peoples of the world?"
For an instant, no more, she sat and
Dondered. Suddenly she bestowed
upon him a smile whose brilliance
might have turned the head of an
other man. Rising, she swept him a
curtsey whose grace [ have not seen
surpassed
In return, Mr.. Calhoun bowed to her
with dignity and ease, and, lifting her
hand, pressed it to his lips. Then, of
fering her an arm, he led her to his
carriage l could scarce believe my
eyes and ears that so much, and of SO
much Importance, had thus SO easily
been accomplished, where all had
seemed so near to the impossible.
