CUT RATE FOR AN AMERICAN

CHAPTER XIV.

He opened his eyes again, alone on
the cool, damp, earthen floor, but as
sured that the feminine element In his
adventure had been no hallucination,
after all; for he could see the girl
standing a little to one side and look
ing down upon him, her face so deep
in shadow that he could gather moth
ing from its expression, whether it
were of displeasure or of perplexity.
From this and that, however, he de-
duced that she, discovering herself
lavishing endearments on the wrong
man, was not utterly delighted with
the situation. The circumstances TAX
en- into consideration, such state of
mind he thought not unreasonable;
and being now to some extent recov-
cred. he saw no profit in making her
suffer more. So with a show of
faintness not wholly assumed, he
rolled his head to one side, opening
wide his eyes and looked the woman
in the face, inquiring with his faint,
thin brogue: What's this, now, me
dear?"
The girls face darkened She shook
her head impatiently. 81 have no Eng

She frowned. Then what are you

Monsieur does not recall that i adj

tightening face, NOR anything that

Not the least In the world. What
did happen, now?"
But she fianked that embarrassing
question adroitly. evidently much re.
lieved by O'Rourke's reinsurance.
Which was just what he wished her
frame of mind to be. Nothing that
matters" she replied, continuing to
employ the French tongue. and that
very prettily, with fetching little &C
cent. 81 think you tainted. Then-but
