AS Fortune sat beside the young col

why they had given him Percival AL

substantial, but the other two turned
1t into ridicule. Still, what was the
matter with Percival Algernon? His
tory had given men of these names
mighty fine things to accomplish.
Then why ridicule? Was 1t due to the
perverted angle Of vision created by
lies, who were eternally pillorying
these unhappy prefixes to ordinary
cognomens? And why this pillorying?
She hadn't studied the subject suf-
ficiently to realize that the business
of the humorist Is not so much to
amuse as to warn persons against be-
coming ridiculous. And Percival AL
gernon Jones was all of that. 1t re-
solved itself into a matter of values,

most popular theme. All agreed that
she was handsome in bold way. This
modification invariably distinguishes
the right sort of women from the
wrong sort, from which there is no APP

well afford to admit of her beauty,
since the dancer was outside what is
called the social pale, for all that her

back in some hidden chamber of her

She was never without the comforts
OF life, well-fed, well-dressed, we'll

her some jeweled trinket which (again
that sense of menace) she put away,
but never wore. The bright periods
were when they left her in the little
villa near Mentone, with no one but
her old and faithful nurse. There,
with her horse, her books and her
flowers, she was at peace. Week into
week and month into month she was
let be. Never a letter came, save
from some former schoolmate who
was coming over and wanted letters
of introduction to dukes and duchess

1t was with melancholy; for the dukes

the thrust. Mrs. Chedsoye enjoyed
these sharp encounters, for it must
be added that she gave as good as
she took, and more often than not her
thrusts bit deeper and did not always
heal.
Fortune never asked questions rela-

harbored any doubts as to their origin,
to the source of their comparative lux

She had never seen her father. but
