CHAPTER XVII.
At Maxim's.

At the Meurice, Miss Lane gave
strict orders to admit only Mr.. Blair
to her apartments. She described
him. No sooner had she drunk her
cup of tea, which Higgins gave her,
than she began to expect Dan.
He didn't come.
Her dinner, without much appetite.
she ate alone in her salon; saw doc
tor and made him prescribe something
looked out to the warm, bright gardens
of the Tuilleries fading into the pallid
loneliness of sunset, Indifferent to
everything in the world-except Dan
Blair. She believed she would soon
be Indifferent to him, too; then every
thing would be done with. Now she
wondered had he really gone-had he
done what he threatened? Why didn't
he come? At twelve o'clock that night,
as she lay among the cushions of her
sofa, doing, the door of her parlor
was pushed in. She sprang up with
a cry of delight; but when Ponio-
towsky came up to her she exclaimed:
"Oh, you'll" And the slanguor and
boredom with which she said his name
made the prince laugh shortly.
Yes, l. Who did you think it VASE"
Cynically and rather cruelty he looked
down at Lefty Lane and admired the
picture she made; small, exquisite, her
blond head against the dark velvet OF
the lounge, her gray eyes intensified
by the fatigue under them.
Just got in from Carlsbad; came
directly here How-de-do? You look,
you know" he scrutinized her
through his single -glass-"most
frightfully seedy."
"Oh, I'm all right She left the
sofa, for she wanted to prevent his
nearer approach. Have you had any
supper? I'll call Higgins"
mo, no, sit down, please, will you?
l want to know why you sent to Carls-
bad for me? Have you come to your
senses?"
He was as mad about the beautiful
creature as a man of his temperament
could be. Exhausted by excess and
bored with life, she charmed and
amused him, and in order to have her
with him always, to be master of her
caprices, he was willing to make any
sacrifice.
Have you sent off that imbecile
boy?" And at her look he stopped and
shrugged. "You need a rest, my child,
he murmured practically, you're neu-
rasthenic and very i'll. I've wired to
have the yacht at Cherbourg-it'll
reach there by noon tomorrow"
She was standing listlessly by the
table. A mass of letters sent by spe-

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 it's beauty, awakened nc
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
of old palaces. He had missed the
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 matter of 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
haunted 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 a
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 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 pastoral that met his
eyes. A man piping, followed by little
pattering goats; the primitive, I'm.
looked-for picture caught his tired at
tention, and, just then, opposite the
Quais, two women passed-fower sci.

cial messenger from London after her,
kilograms and cards lay there in a
pile. Looking down at the lot, she
murmured: All right, ] don't care"
He concealed his triumph, but be-
fore the look had faded from his face
she saw it and exclaimed sharply:
Don't be crazy about it, you know.
You'll have to pay high for me; you
know what mean
He answered gallantly: "My dear
child, I've told you that you would be
the most charming princess in Hun
gary"
Once more she accepted Indifferent
ly: "All right, all right, don't care
tuppence-not tuppence"-and she
snapped her fingers; 'but l like to see

CHAPTER XVIII.
Such stuff as Dreams.

Dan was in his room at the hotel
He woke and then slept again. Moth
ing seemed strange to him-nothing
seemed real. 1t was three o'clock in
the morning, the rumble OF Paris was
dull; it did not disturb him, for he
seemed without the body and to have
grown giantlike, and to fill the room.
He had sense of suffocation and the
need to break through the windows
and to escape into ether.
The entrance of Ponfotowsky's two
friends was part with the unreal
naturalness. One was Roumanian,
the other a Frenchman--both spoke
fluent English. Dan, his eyes fixed on
the foreign faces, only half saw them;
they blurred. their voices were small

MUSICAL PROGRAM AT
MUNSEY MEMORIAL.

To the music lovers of the city, and
to the rest of the public not so musical,
the singing of Prof. Frederick Martin,
of New York city, at the Munsey Me
mortal church last Sunday was a rare
treat. The rich, mellow, expressive
baritone of Prof. Martin has few equals
in this country, and every number was
thoroughly enjoyed.
Miss Rhea Hunter, assisting Prof.
Martin in the musical part of the serv-
ices, exhibited one of those delightfully."-
clear soprans, with notes of thrilling
perfection, and sang with perfect ease
and expression. The duet by Miss
Hunter and Prof. Martin was particu.
larly enjoyable. The services were
conducted by Rev. l.. b. Stivers, of the
Central Baptist church, who used the
church through the courtesy of the
Methodist congregation, during the alb
sence of Rev. Vaught.
Miss Hunter returns to New York
this fall, and will study for another
season with Prof. Martin.

SOLDIERS TAKE THREE
STRAIGHTS FROM APPS.

Three straights from Knoxville! 1t
looks like we were going to play some
ball. In the first game Wilson and
Lee had a tough battle, but Lee held
them down to one run while the Sol
diers got busy with the big stick and.
brought in three. Shaw was back in
the game and we had two new men,
Landgraf, formerly of Asheville, and
Brummerhofi, pitcher, but holding
down first for the timebeing. The Sol
dirs' hitting in the eighth when the
score was one and one was what won
the game. They made five hits.
We won the second game also. This
was tight game. When we thought
it was all over in the first of the ninth,
Knoxville scored two and tied the
score. But in the last of the tenth
when there was two outs and two
strikes on the batter, Landgraft, who
was on third, made a great effort and
stole home and broke up the game. In
the third game the Soldiers hard hit
ting was what won a game that was
three to nothing in the fourth, two
# Knoxville's runs being made by a
drive of Flournov's that caused consid-
cradle dissatisfaction on account of be-
ing considered a foul by every body
but the umpire. Several things are
worthy of note in this game. In the
seventh Herrill struck out three men
in succession; Pitts knocked two three
baggers in two successive times at bat;
Shaw made four hits out of four times
at bat, and several good catches were
made in the field by Pitts and Shaw.
Today we begin series with the
leaders and we only wish we can do as
well with them as with Knoxville.
