Without further word he got out
and left her agitated, leaning toward
him, and Blair, less pale and thor
oughly the man, lifted his hat to her
and, with unusual grace. bowed good
night and good-by. Then, rushing as
he had come, he walked off down
through the alice, his gray figure in
his gray clothes disappearing through
the vista of meeting trees.
For a moment she stared after him,
her eyes fastened on the tall, slender,
beautiful young man. Blair's fire and
ardor, his fresh y~outhfulness, his pro-
lection and his chivalry. his ardent de-
~votion, touched her profoundly. Tears
fell, and one splashed on her white
glove. Was he really going to ruin
his life? The old ballad, THE Earl
Of Moray" ran through her head:
And long may his lady look from the
castle wall"
Dan had neither title nor, according
to Ruggles, had he any money, and
she could marry the prince; but Dan,
as he walked so fast away. misery
swapping at his heels as he went,
stamping through the woods, seemed
glorious to Lefty Lane and the only
one she wanted in the world. What If
anything should happen to him really?
What if he should really start out to
do the town according to the fashion
of his Anglo-SaXon brothers, but more
desperately still? She took a card
from the case in the corner of the car,
scrubbed a few words, told the man to
drive around the curve and meet the
outlet of the path by which Dan had
gone When she saw him within
reaching distance she sent the chauf-
feur across the woods to give Mr..
Blair her scrubbed word and c%onsoled
herself with the belief that Dan
wouldn't "go to the dogs or throw
himself in the river until he had seen
her again"

The westerner finds Lefty III from hard

Blair, who had not opened a paper

Blair, who had not opened a paper
since he came to Paris, did not know
that Lefty Lanes flight from London
had created a scandal in the theatre
cal world, that her was suing
her, and that to be e with her driv-
ing in the Bots was a conspicuous
thing indeed. She thought of it, how
ever.

me and LEI me go to the Meurice

me go to the hotel alone"
He laughed again in the same
strained fashion and forced her hand
to remain in his.
Look here. You don't suppose |
am going to let you go like this, now
that | have seen you again. You don't
suppose | am going to give you up to
that Infamous s~coundrel? You have

Bringing all her strength of charac-
ter to bear, she exclaimed: Il expect
you think you are the only person who
has asked me to marry him, Dan. |
am going to marry Prince Ponio-
towsky. He is perfectly crazy about
me-"
Until that moment she had not
made him think that she was indiffer-
ent to him, and the idea that such a
thing was possible, was too much for
his Overstrained heart tt bear. Dan
cried her name in a voice whose ap-
peal was like a hurt creatures, and
as the hurt creature in it's suffering
sometimes springs upon it's torturer,
he flung his arms around her as she
sat in the motor, held her and kissed
her, then set her free, and as the
motor flew along, tore open the door
to spring out or to throw himself out,
but clinging to him she prevented his
mad act. She stopped the car along
the edge of the quiet, wooded alice.
Blair saw that he had terrified her.
She covered her beating heart with
her hands and gasped at him that he
was crazy, crazy and perhaps a lit
tie late his dignity and sel~f-possession
returned.

The Middie-Aued Woman.

OF the many ways in which the mid

Of her afternoon gowns none is sim
pier than the use of a collar and cuffs
of white wolfe edged with s~calloping
and embroidery In a floral design. An
other change may be the frock set OF
white chiffon with border Of black
malines, and still another is the one OF
black net hemstitched with silver

long in front that they terminate only
at the waist line, where they cross In
surplice effect and are tucked away
under the girdle. An excellent model
of this sort is Of light blue lawn EN-.

be Indifferent to him. too; the every
thing would be done with. Now she
wondered had he really gone-haG 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 Ponlo-
towsky came up to her she exclaimed:
'Oh, you." And the languor and
boredom with which she said his name
made the prince laugh shortly.
Yes, l. Who did you think 1t was?"
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. H~ow-de-do? You look,

through his single eye-glass-"most

nearer approach. Have you had any

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 imbeclle
boy" And at her look he stopped and
shrugged. You need a rest, my child
