Several young men supping together

and sent the prince back for It.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Prince Accepts.

The Hungarian in the Continental,
was drinking his coffee in his room
when his friends found him. He
listened TO what they had to say cool
ly. His eye-glass gave him an air OF
full dress even at this early hour.
Poniotowsky had not fallen into a
deep sleep and had dream as Dan
Blair had-indeed he had only reached
his room the night before when a let
ter had been brought him from Miss
Lane. He was used to her caprices,
which were countless, and he never left
her with any certainty that he should
see her again, or with any idea Of
what her next move Would be. The
letter read
Its no use. 1 Just can't. I've always
told you so. and l mean it. I'm tired out
Il want TO go away and never see any
one again. / want to die / shall be
dead next year and don't care. Please

me. and for heavens sake don't bore me

and all would be we'll. He listened
coolly to what his friends had to say.
"C'est un enfant," one of them re-
marked sneeringly.
'In my mind, he is a coward" said
the other
"On the contrary" answered Ponio-
tOwsky coolly, "he shoots to perfection.

He put Lefty Lanes note In his
pocket, and leisurely prepared to go
out on the Rue de Castiglione to buy
her Pomeranian dog.

His eyes caught sight of a blue en-
gelope on the table. He tore the tele-
gram open. 1t was Ruggles' answer
20 his question:
Quite true. Tel you about it. Ar
i've your hotel around noon"
The dispatch informed him that he
was really a pauper and also that he

They retired as formally as they
had entered, and took his answer to
their client. and after a bath and
careful toilet Dan went out, leaving
a line for Ruggles, to say that he
would be at the hotel to meet him at
noon.

The Picture of It All.
AS far AS his knowing anything OF
the customs Of 1t all, 1t was like lead
Ing lamb to slaughter.
Villebon, lovely vernal. at later
hour the spot for gay breakfasts and
gentle rendezvous. had been desig-
mated for the meeting between Dan
and Poniotowsky. There in his motor
he gave up his effort to set his
thoughts clear. Nothing settled down
Even the ground they liew over, the
trees with their chestnut plumes,
blurred, were indi~tinct, nebulous, as
II seen through diving bell under the
sea. Fear-he didn't know the word
He wasn't afraid-it wasn't that; yet
he had a certainty that 1t was all up
with him. He was young-very young
and he hadn't done much with the
Job. His father would have been
ashamed of him Then all his thoughts
went to Her. The two men in the
motor floated off and she sat there as
she had sat yesterday in her marvel
ously pretty clothes-her little coral
shoes.
He had held those bright, little feet
In his hands on the Thames day; they
had just filled his great hands.
Then Lefty Lane, too. spirited away,

One Of his companions offered Blair
a cigar. He refused the idea sick

changed glances, and one murmured:

The other shrugged.
Not astonishing-he a child"
AT this Dan glanced up and smiled
what Lily. Duchess of Breakwater,
had called his divine young smile.
The two secretly We're ashamed-he
was charming.
AS they got out of the motor Dan
said:
Il want to ask question of Prince
Poniotowsky-if 1t is allowed. III
write 1t on my card"
After a conference between Prince
Poniotowsky's seconds and Dams, the
slip was handed the prince.
IF you get out all right, will you
marry Miss Lane? shall be glad to
know"
The Hungarian. who read 1t under
the tree, half smiled. The naivete OF
1t, the touching youth of 1t, the crude
lack OF fOrm-was perfect enough to
touch his sense of humor. On the
back OF Dams card Poniotowsky
scrawled:
Yes"
1t was naughty inclination, q sa-
lutte of honor before the fight.
The meeting place was within sight
of the little rustic pavilion Of Les
Trois Agneaux, celebrated for its pre-
sale and beignets; the advertisements

The Things Above Ground.

Higgins let him In, and across the
room Blair saw the figure of the ac-
tress against the light of the long
window. Her back was to him as he
came up. and though she knew who
II was, she was far from dreaming
how different man IL was that came

place to the more radiant one which

seemed real. 1t was three o'clock in
the morning. the rumble of Paris was
dull; 1t did not disturb him, for he
seemed without the body and TO have
grown giantlike. and to fll the room.
He had sense OF suffocation and the
need to break through the windows
and to escape Into ether.
The entrance OF Poniotowsky's two
friends was a part with the ainrcal
naturalness. One was a Roumanian,
the other a Frenchman-both spoke
fluent English. Dan. his eyes fixed on
the foreign faces, only half saw them;
they blurred, their voices were small
and far away. Finally he said:

He wanted them to go--to be alone

OF the burden of sense and be free.
And after they had left, he remained

he was poor. why. some of his bur
