Underwood stared moodily at the
glowing logs in the open chimney
place. His face was pale and de.
termned. After coming in from the
restaurant he had changed his tux
edo for the more comfortable house
coat. Nothing called him away that
particular Sunday evening, and no
one was likely to disturb him. Ferris,
his man servant, had taken his usual
Sunday off and would not return until
midnight. The apartment was still as

Corfu's Queer Laws.

Corfu. where a magnificent marble
palace belonging TO the German en-
peror. is said to have just been pur-
chased by an American millionaire.
can boast of the most peculiar land
laws in the world. The landlords are
nearly all absentees, and their tenants
hold the land on perpetual lease in
return for a rent payable in kind and
fixed at a certain proportion of the
produce.
Such a tenant is considered a CO.
owner of the soil. and he cannot be
expelled but for non-payment Of rent,
bad culture, or the transfer of his
lease without the landlords permits
sion.
Attempts have been made to alter
the law, but both landlord and ten
ants are apparently satisfied with a
sve'e-n that dates back to the time Of
Homer.

grandeur of the establishment goes
without saying. Only long purses
could stand the strain. 1t was a ia
vorite headquarters for Westerners
who had struck it rich" wealthy
bachelors, and successful actors and
opera singers who loved the limelight
on and off the stage.
Sunday evening was usually exceed
ingly quiet at the Astruria. Most of
the tenants were out of town over the
weekend, and as the restaurant ana

lied, the elevators ran less frequently,
making less chatter and hustle in cor
ridors and stairways. Stiffness reigned
everywhere as If the SOLDERING influ-
ence of the Sabbath had invaded even
this exclusive domain of the unholy
rich. The uniformed attendants, hav-
ing nothing to do yawned lazily in
the deserted halls. Some even in
dulged in surreptitious maps in cor
ners, confident that they would not
be disturbed. Callers were so rare
that when some one did enter from
the street, he was looked upon with
suspicion.
Il was shortly after seven o'clock
the day following Mrs. Jeffries' re-
ception when a man came in by the
main entrance from Broadway, and

The boy gave his interlocutor an
impudent stare. There was something
about the callers dress and manner
which told him instinctiyely that he
was not dealing with a visitor whom
he must treat respectfully. No one
divines a mans or womans social
status quicker or more unerringly
than a servant. The attendant saw
at once that the man did not belong

residential district, II took precedence
over all the other apartment hotels of
the metropolis as the biggest and
most splendidly appointed hostelry of
its kind in the world. It was, indeed,
a small city in itself. 1t was not nee
essary for its fortunate tenants to
leave it unless they were SO minded.
Everything for their comfort and
pleasure was to be had without taking
the trouble to go out of doors. On
the ground floor were shops of all
kinds, which catered only to the
Astruria's patrons. There were also
on the premises a bank, a brokers'
office, hairdresser, and a postal tele-
graph office. A special feature was
the garden court. containing over go
900 square feet of open space, and
tastefully laid out with palms and
flowers. Here fountains splashed and
an orchestra played while the patrons
lounged on comfortable rattan chairs
or gossiped with their friends. Up on
the sixteenth floor was the cool roof
garden, an exquisite bower of palms
and roses artificially painted by a
famous French artist with its rech-
erche restaurant, its picturesque
tziganes. and its superb view of all
Manhattan island.
The Astruria was the last word in
expensive apartment hotel building.
Architects declared that it was as far
as modern lavishness and eXtrava-
gance could go. It's interior arrange

ternal splendor. Its apartments were
of noble dimensions, richly decorated,
and equipped with every device, new
and old, that modern science and
builders ingenuity could suggest. That
