He Owed into the dressing-room.

and came out in another second, his

hair furiously with a towel He hadn't

''but we don't have your kind of fights
out our way. 1t means business when
we go out to shoot"
He threw the towel down, on the
table, soaking wet as it was, put his
hands in the pockets of his evening
clothes, which he still wore, for he
had not undressed, threw his young,
blond head back and frankly told his
visitors:
I'm not UP on swords. I've seen
them in pictures and read about them,
but I'll be darned if I've ever had one
In my hand
His expression changed at the quiet
response of Poniotowsky's seconds.
Gee. Whew!" he exclaimed, The
does, does he? Twenty paces-re-
volvers-why, he's a bird-a bird!'
A slight flush rose along Dams
cheeks. Il never liked him, and you
don't want to hear what I think OF
him. But I'll be darned if he isn't

His eyes caught sight of blue en-
velope on the table. He tore the tele-
gram open. 1t was Ruggles' answer
to his question:
"Quite true. Tell you about it. Ar
rive your hotel around noon"
The dispatch informed him that he
was really a pauper and also that he
had a second for his duel with
Poniotowsky. His guests stood for
mally before the young barbarian.
Look here" he continued amiably,
II can't meet your Dago friend like
this, it's not fair. He hasn't seen me
shoot; it isn't for me to say it, but I
can't miss. Hold" he interrupted, "he
has, too. He was at the Galoreys' at
that first shoot. Ah-well, l refuse,

an American and cowboy and that

pluck-it's all right-tell him anything
you like. He ought to have chosen

They retired as formally as they
had entered, and took his answer to
their client, and after bath and
careful toilet Dan went out, leaving
a line for Ruggles, to say that he
would be at the hotel to meet him at
noon.

Cural-coioreu dress at Max1m.s gave

had shone on him in his curious
dream.

CHAPTER XXX!!,
The Prince Accents.

The Hungarian, in the Continental,
was drinking his coffee in his room
when his friends found him. He
listened to what they had to say cool
ly. His eye-glass gave him an air OF
full dress even at this early hour.
Poniotowsky had not fallen into a
deep sleep and had dream as Dan
Blair had-indeed he had only reached
his room the night before when let
ter had been brought him from Miss
Lane. He was used to her caprices,
which were countless, and he never left
her with any certainty that he should
see her again, or with any idea OF
what her next move would be- The
letter read:
ITS no use. just can't. I've always
told you SO. and I mean it, I'm tired out
Il want to go away and never see any
one again. I want to die. shall be
dead next year, and I don't care. Please
leave me alone and don't come to see
me, and for heavens sake don't bore me
with notes.
When Poniotowsky received this
note he had shrugged, and decided
that if he lived after his duel with
the young savage he would go to see
the actress, taking jewel or gift
he would get her Pomeranian dog,
and all would be WELL He listened
coolly to what his friends had to say.
"C'est un enfant," one of them re-
marked sneeringly.
''In my mind, he is a coward" said
the other.
ION the contrary" answered Ponio-
towsky coolly, 'he shoots to perfection.
You will be surprised to hear that l
admire his refusal. I accept his de-
cision, as his skill is unquestioned
with arms. choose to look upon this
reply as an apology. I would like to
have you inform Mr.. Blair of this fact.
He's young enough to be my son, and
he is a barbarian. The incident is
closed"
He put Lefty Lanes note in his
pocket, and leisurely prepared to go
out on the Rue de Castiglione to buy
her Pomeranian dog.

lips, held it there and the spark ig-
nited in her; his youth and confidence,
his force and passion, woke a woman
in Lefty Lane that had never lived be-
fore that hour
He murmured: "I'll be there with
you, darling-night and daylight
and day.
She found breath to say, What has
happened to you Dan-what?"
II don't know" he gravely replied.
Il guess ] came up pretty close
against it last night; things got into
their right places, and then and there
| knew you were the girl for me, and
l the man for you, rich or poor"
He kissed her and she passively re-
without making him any sign, that his
magnificent assurance began to be
shaken-his arms fell from her.
Its quite true" he murmured, Il
am poor
She led him to the lounge and made
him sit down by her. He waited for
her to speak, but she remained silent,
less-tears forced themselves under
her eyelids, but she kept them back.
81 guess she said in yelled tone,

On foreign customs-he wouldn't fight

put his arms around her from there.

She gave way and burst into tears
and hid her face on his shoulder, and
sobbed.
Il believe you dol believe you do.
You've saved my soul and my life.
I'll go with you'll go-I1l go!"
Later she told him how she would
learn to cook and sew, and that to-
gether they would stand in the door
Of their shack at sunset, or that she
would stand and watch for him to
come home; and, the actress in her
strong, she sprang up for a minute
and stood shielding her eyes with her
slender hand to show him how. And
he gazed, charmed at her, and drew
her back to him again.

true" Dan wouldn't tell her what
they were-he said she wouldn't un-
derstand. Il nearly had to die to
learn them myself" he said
She leaned toward him, a slight
shadow crossed her face as if memo
ries laid a darkling wing for a mo-
ment there. Such shadows must have
passed, for she kissed him of her own
accord on the lips and without sigh.
Side by side they sat for long
time. Higgins softly opened door
and saw them, and stepped back, un-
heard.
Ruggles came in, and his steps in
the soft carpet made no sound: and
he looked at the pair long and tender

The Things Above Ground.


Higgins let him in, and across the
room Blair saw the figure of the ac-
tress against the light of the long
window. Her back was to him as he
came up, and though she knew who
it was, she was far from dreaming
how different a man it was that came
in to see her this morning from the
one she had known.
Wont you turn around and bid
me goodbye" he asked her. I'm 60

She gave him a languid hand with

CHAPTER XXI.
In Reality.

Dan awoke from his dream, and sat
suddenly up in bed in his shirt sleeves,
and stared at the people in his room
a hotel boy and two strangers, not un-
like the men in his dream. He
brushed his hand across his eyes.
'Sit down, will you? Do you speak
English"
They were foreigners, but they did
speak English, no doubt far more per-
fectly than did Dan Blair.
'Look here" the boy said, Il don't

CHAPTER xxx.
The Picture of 1t All.


As far as his knowing anything OF
the customs of it all, it was like lead
Ing lamb to slaughter.
Villebon, lovely, vernal, at a later
hour the spot for gay breakfasts and
gentle rendezvous, had been desig-
mated for the meeting between Dan
and Poniotowsky. There in his motor
he gave up his effort to set his
thoughts clear Nothing settled down.
Even the ground they flew over, the
trees with their chestnut plumes,
blurred, were indisrnct, nebulous, as
If seen through diving-bell under the
sea. Fear-he didn't know the word.
he had certainty that it was all up
with him. He was young-very young
and he hadn't done much with the
Job. His father would have been
ashamed of him. Then all his thoughts
went to Her. The two men in the
motor foated off and she sat there as
she had sat yesterday in her marvel
ously pretty clothes--her little coral
shoes
He had held those bright, little feet
In his hands on the Thames day; they
had just filed his great hands.
Then Lefty Lane, too, spirited away,
and the boys thoughts turned to the
man he was to meet "The affairs are
purely formal" he had heard some
one say IAN exchange of balls, with
out serious results
One of his companions offered Blair
a cigar. He refused, the idea sick
ened him. Here the gentlemen ex-
changed glances, and one murmured:
rs he afraid?"
The other shrugged.
Not astonishing-h a child
At this Dan glanced up and smiled
what Lily, Duchess of Breakwater,
had called his divine young smile.
The two secretly were ashamed-he

After a conference between Prince
Poniotowsky's seconds and Dams, the
slip was handed the prince.
If you get out all right, will you
marry Miss Lane? I shall be glad to
know"
The Hungarian, who read it under
the tree, half smiled. The naivete of
it, the touching youth of it, the crude
lack of form-was perfect enough to
touch his sense of humor On the
back of Dams card Poniotowsky
scrawled:
yes
1t was naughty inclination, sa,
lutte of honor before the fight.
The meeting place was within sight
of the little rustic pavilion Of Les
Trois Agneaux, celebrated for its pre-
sale and beignets; the advertisements
had confronted Dan everywhere during
his wanderings these miserable days.

Dan Blair and the Prince Took Their
Positions, the Revolvers Raised Per.

Under a group of chestnut trees in
bright feathery flower Prince Ponio-

frock coats buttoned up and their
gloves and silk hats in their hands.
AS Blair and his companions came up
the others stood uncovered, grim and
formal, according to the code.
Twenty-Five PAGES. They were
