comte, had made her go and now, that
Suzanne was dying to get away she
could not find her.
Suzanne narrowly escaped a croquet
party the hostess was arranging and
sought refuge in a small summerhouse
II nobody found her, she might succeed
in stealing short nap until her aunt
was ready to leave. She closed her
eyes only to open them again in an
noyance when she heard the sound of
approaching steps.
Il viii just rest here a little. Raoul.
You may call for me in about 10 min
utes, but don't hurry, my boy, 1 won't
mind waiting a little for you"
A shadow fell across the floor and
Suzanne looked up with i'll concealed
annoyance, when she recognized the
lady who had stared at her when she
was grinding the organ.
Baroness d'Aubervilliers did not rec
ognize her right away. She murmured
few words Of excuse, sat down in a
chair and began tanning herself, but
not very long. Then she put on her
glasses.
Il was quite sure, had seen you be-
fore" she said. She was rather con-
fused, she did not remember where she
had seen this dark girl.
Suzanne who had felt bored and
sleepy suddenly aWoke to new life. Her
eyes were laughing mischieviously when
she said: You saw me once turning
hand organ, so I can imagine your are
surprised to meet me here, but it is
sometimes better to be a hired guest
than to play a hand organ"
Hired guest" baroness d'Aubervil-
liers was wide awake now and forth
came her red book. 81 have heard peo-
pie say more than once that countess de
Vain used hired guests to make her
social gatherings interesting, but I
never really believed 1t. 1 believe I
told you I am working on a book on
foreign paupers, but the material is
so overwhelming that I have begun an
other book on Our Own Paupers' Your
experience as hired guest may be of
great value to me-"
Suzanne was furious Was she then
doomed to be prosecuted by red note
books forever?
do not think I have anything to
say lnat would interest you" she re-
piled coldly. Il am afraid I shall have
to leave you The countess may need
me-"
AS she went out she brushed against
Raoul d Aubervilliers at the door The
baroness was all excited.
You must listen to what this poor
young lady has to tell, Raoul. Your
memory is better than mine She is
one Of countess de vahn's hired
guests"
Raoul raised his hat as politely to
the hired guest as if she had been a
duchess. There was an expression of
doubt in his eyes which the baroness
did not notice.
There is really nothing to TELL" said
suzanne blushingly. The joke was be-
ing carried too far, she thought and
Raoul who noticed her confusion took
pity on her.
Better be satisfied with the foreign
paupers, mamma" he said as he
stepped aside to let Suzanne escape.
Raoul d'Aubervilliers had always
been known as good chum, so when
he was asked by his old friend, Capt.
d'Aumont, about to return from Ton

consented.
Capt. d'Aumont had been delayed in
Tonkin for another month so he asked
Raouf to introduce himself to the bride

logne. Mile. Marguerite had been in

entered the room he thought he had

still deeper
Yes, but it is not at all nice of you
to remind me Of it I am older and
much more sensible now and have given
up all such tricks"
But we did meet" he said with
smile. Now, let me congratulate you
and tell you, how 1 envy Capt. d'Au-
mont"
Suzanne burst out laughing.
"Oh, you are mistaken" she said ''It
is my cousin, Marguerite. who is to
marry Capt. d Aumont, but as my aunt
and cousin are both out, the maid gave
your card to me. How Marguerite will
laugh when she hears my last part has
been to play the bride. Do you think
it is as becoming to me as that Of or
gan grinder OF hired guest?"
Much more becoming came the reply.
Several weeks later suzanne was
asked to play a new part and it was
Raoul d'Aubervilliers who proposed It
Suzanne blushed and smiled.
Il am tired of playing parts'' she
replied. Il wish nothing better than
to remain Suzanne Lecomte forever"
But with his arm around her waist
Raoul told her Of something he thought
would be better and Suzanne at last
agreed to play just one more part
that Of his wife.
