MYRA NELL WARREN.


Miss Myra Nell Warren seldom COM
menced her toilette with that telling of
pleasurable anticipation common to
most girls Of her age. Not that she
failed to appreciate her own good looks,
for she di not, but because in order
to attain the desired effects she was
forced to exercise a nice discrimination
which can be appreciated only by those
who have attempted to keep up appear
ances upon an income never equal to
ones requirements. She had many
dresses, to be sure, but they were a.
familiar to her as family portraits ana
even among her most blinded admirers
they had been known to stir the chords
of remembrance. Then. too, they were
always getting lost, for Myra Nell had
a way of scattering other things than
her affections. She had often nkened
her gowns to an army or Central
American troops in view of their mere
ragged abundance. in which lay no real
fighting strength.
Tonight, however. she was in a very
happy frame of mind as she began
dressing, and Bernie, hearing her sing
ing blithely, paused outside her door
to inquire the cause.

piled

Donnelly listened with interest and
for a time piled Blake with shrewd
questions.
IT'S a queer coincidence" he said
at length, but the letter was mailed
in this city and by someone familiar
with Narcone's movements up to date
If your countess was here, you'd surely
know 1T. This isn't New York. Be-

He left rather abruptly, struggling
with a sense of self-disgust in that he
had been led to talk of Margherita I'M
necessarily, yet with a curious under
current of excitement running through
his mood.
