thought 1t would be . matter Of few
hours only to flnd the whereabouts Of
the celebrated actress. but It was not
such an easy Job. He had not guessed
that she might be travelling incognito.
and at none Of the hotels could he
hear news Of her. nor did he pass her
in the crowded. noisy. rustling. cry.

tors for her with eager eyes. and
haunted restaurants and cafes. and
went everywhere that he thought she
might be likely to be.
At the end Of the third day, unsuc.

slept and scarcely eaten. the unhappy
young lover found himself taking q

gone from him. he looked out through
the windows at tho Seine. at the

to his lips. his eyes suffused. the tears
rolled down his face. He walked away
into his own room. remained there a
few moments. and when he came out
again he carried in his hand his va

her you were poor. and she turned

His words were faint.
"God!" said the boy under his
breath. That's the way you think
about truth. Lie to a woman to save
my precious soul! But I expect" he
said; you think she Is so immoral
and so bad that she will hurt me.
Well" he said, with great emphasis,
"she has never done anything in her
life that comes up to what you've
done. Never! And nothing has ever
hurt me So"
His lips trembled. II have lost my
respect for you, for my fathers friend,
and as far as she is concerned, don't
care what she marries me for. She
has got to marry me, and II she
doesn't"-he had no idea, in his pas

AS he snatched up the inanimate
objects from the leaf-strewn ground
where he had thrown them in despair.
he thought how things can change in
a quarter Of an hour.
Jubilant to have overcome the fate
which had tried to keep her hidden
from him in Paris, he could hardly be-
lieve his eyes that she was before
them again, and, as the motor rolled
into the Avenue des Acacias, he asked
her the question uppermost in hie
mind:
Are you alone in Paris. Letty?"
Don't you count?"
"No-no-honestly, you know what
mean"
You haven't any right to ask me

I don't want to be tied down."
When he pressed her to tell him
whether or not she had ceased to
care for him. she shook her head
slowly. marking on the ground fine
tracery with the end Of her coral par
asol. He had been obliged to take
her back to the red motor. but before
they were In earshot Of her servants.
he said:

six o'clock, he saw the lengthening
shadows steal into the woods Of the
Bois de Boulogne. and in one Of the
smaller alleys, where the green
trunked trees Of the forests were full
of purple shadows and yellow sun
discs, Pickering down. he picked up
a small iron chair and sat himself
down, with a long sigh, to rest.
While he sat there watching the

the broader road, beautiful red mo-

mer frock, got out alone. She had a
flowing white veil around her head

shoulders. AS the day on the Thames.

this time her costume was made vivid
and picturesque by the coral parasol

kid shoes, around her neck and fall

pallor. She did not seem glad to see
him. Out of his passionate descr1p-

her, Of what he thought and wanted
and felt, the actress made what she
could. listening to him as they both
stood there under the shadows Of

calloused and Indifferent are i'm
pressed by it's beauty, awakened no
answering response in the heart Of
the young man who. from his hotel
window, looked out on the desecrated
gardens Of the Tuileries-on the dis
tant spires Of churches whose names
he did not know-on the square block
Of old palaces. He had missed the
boat across the channel taken by Let
ty Lane, and the delay had made him
lose what little trace Of her he had.
In the early hours Of the morning
he had flung himself in at the St.
James, taken the Indifferent room

White Heron In Now Jersey.

Local naturalists and bird lovers are
interested in a number Of white heron
which are making their headquarters
at Avis Pond. Woodstown, N. j.,
about a mile from town. The birds
were first noticed about a week ago.
These are the birds from which aig.
rettes are obtained. Extinction OF the
species Is feared because the aigrettes
cnn be obtained only when the bird
is raising its young. and its death at
the hands Of the hunter also means
starvation Of the young heron.
