ACCOUNTING for the Cuts.

A famous archaeologist came into
his club recently, his erudite counte-
nance ornamented at several points
with sticking plaster, and there was
general inquiry among his friends as
to what was the matter.

"Good gracious Where did you get

soliloquized the savant, "he can't
shave a man decently."
"By Jove," exclaimed the young
member, in astonishment. what is he

CHAPTER TX.
Disappointment.

Disappointment.
Dan Blair had not been back of the
scenes at the Gaiety since his first
call on the singer. Indeed. though he
had told the duchess he pitied Miss
Lane. he had not been able to ap-
proach her very closely. even in his
own thoughts. When she first ap-
peared on his horizon his mind was
full OF the Duchess OF Breakwater, and
the singer had only lowered round his
more profound feelings for another
woman. But Lefty Lane was an at
mosphere in Dams mind which he was
not yet able to understand. There was
SO little left that was connected with
his old home. certainly nothing In the
British Isles. excepting Ruggles. and
to the young man everything from
America had its value. Decidedly the
nice girl Of whom he had spoken to
Gordon Galorey. the print-frocked,
bonneted type. the ideal girl that Dan
would like to marry and to spoil, had
not crossed his path. The Duchess OF
Breakwater did not suggest her, nor
did any of the London beauties. Dams
first ideal was beginning to fade.
He left Osdene Park on protest and
returned the same night to London,
and all the way back to town tried to
register in his mind. unused to analy.

OF Breakwater on this last visit.
He had experienced his first dis
appointment In the sex. and this dis
appointment had been Of an unusual
kind. 1t was not that he had been
turned down or given the mitten. but
he had seen one woman turn another
down. A woman had been mean, sc
he put 1t, and the fact that the Ouch
ess OF Breakwater had refused te
lend a moral hand to the singer al
the Gaiety hurt Dams feelings. Then
as soon as his enthusiasm had calmed
he saw what a stupid ass he had been

And Dan returned: Don't stand

But the actress waited nevertheless
and said to Dan: Who's the girl!"
What girl?"
why, the girl you come here every
night to see and are too shy to speak
to. Everybody is crazy to know"
Lefty Lane looked like little girl
herself In the crocheted garment her
small hands held across her breast.

gesture:

hadn't fetched him nearly up to the
altar for nothing, and back OF his dis
approval, there was a long list OF ad-
mirations and looks, memories OF
many tete-a-tetes and Of more fervent
kisses which scored a good deal In the
favor of Dams first woman. The Ouch
ess of Breakwater had gone boldly on
with Dams unfinished education. and
he really thought he loved her. and
that he was In honor bound to see the
thing through.

But the cold voice of the duchess

continued. land I'm sorry for her

the matter. Didn't you notice her
when she came into the Carlton that
night?"
What Of 1t, silly? thought she
looked as thin as a shad In that black
dress. and the way Poniotowsky goes
about with her proves what an ass he
is"
We'll, hate him." Blair simply
stated; 'I would wiring his neck for
twenty cents. But she's very Ill; that
is what is the matter with her"
They all look like that OF the
stage" the duchess assured indiffer-
emily. They are nothing but foot

goes would kill anybody. Have some

when you hear her sing that dove

But his companion's laugh stopped
his championship short.
You dear boy. don't be silly, Dan.
She doesn't need your pity or your
good opinion. She Is perfectly salts
fed She has got fortune In Ponio-
towsky. and she really is a perfect
terror. you know
Affected slightly by her cold dis
missal of his subject. he paused for q
moment But his own point Of view
was too strong to be shaken by this
woman's light words.
II suppose II she wasn't from my
town" At his words the vision OF
Lefty Lane with the coral strands on
her dress. came before his eyes, and
he said honestly: But l do take an
interest in her just the same. and
she's going to pieces. that's clear.
Something ought to be done"
The Duchess of Breakwater was
very much annoyed.
Are you going to talk about her
all the time?" she asked with sharp
sweetness You are not very nat

And he returned peacefully. Why. l
thought you might be able to help her

sort of get hold of her; women know
how to do those things"
His preposterous simplicity over
wheimed her. She stirred her tea.
and said, controlling herself. why,
what on earth would you have me to
say to Lefty Lane?"
"Oh, Just be nice to her.. he sug-
