They chatted for a quarter of an

It seemed to him that Fortune Ched-

George was determined to meet For
tune Chedsoye, and this determination,
the first of its kind to take definite
form In his mind, gave him a novel
sensation. He would find some way,
and he vowed to best his old enemy,
ditt1dence, if it was the last fight ne
ever put up. He would maneuver to
get in the way Of the Major. He new
found much trouble in talking to men.
Once he exchanged a word or two
with the uncle or guardian, he would
make it a point to n the acquaint-
ance when he saw the two together.
1t appeared to him as a bright idea,
and he was rather proud Of it. Even
now he was conscious Of clenching his
teeth strongly. It's an old saying that
he goes farthest who shuts his teeth
longest. He was going to test the pre-
cept by immediate practice.
He had stood before the list fully
three minutes. Now he turned about
face, a singular citation tingling his
blood. Once he set his mind upon a
thing, he went forward. He had lost
many pleasurable things in life be-
cause he had doubted and faltered,
not because he had reached out to-
ward them and had then drawn back
He was going to meet Fortune Ched-
soye; when or how were but details.
And as he discovered the Major him
self idling before the booth Of the East
Indian merchant, he saw in fancy the
portcullis rise and the drawbridge fall
to the castle of enchantment. He
strolled over %leisurely and pretended
to be interested in the case containing
mediocre jewels.
This Is a genuine Bokhara EN-.
broidery?" the Major was inquiring.
ooh, yes, sir"
How old?"
The merchant picked up the tag
and squinted at it. ut is between two
and three hundred years old, sir"
To Georges opinion the gods them
selves could not have arranged a more
propitious moment.

posed quietly. THAT is Bokhara, but

The dark eyes Of the Indian flashed

without more ado, he went on to ex

CHAPTER v.
The Girl Who Wasn't Wanted.

The Girl Who Wasn't Wanted.
If any one wronged George, defraud-
ed him Of money or credit, he was al
ways ready to forgive, agreeing that
perhaps half the fault had been his.
This was not a sign Of weakness, but
Of a sense Of justice too we'll leavened
with mercy. Humanity errs in the one
as much as in the other, doubtless
with some benign purpose in perspec-
tive. Now, it might be that this charm
ing woman had really never received
his letter; such things have been
known to go astray. In any case he
could not say that he had written.
That would have cast a doubt upon
her word, an objectionable rudeness.
So. for her very beauty alone. he gave
her the full benefit of the doubt.
"You mustn't let the matter trouble
you in the least" he said, HIS helmet
now nicely adjusted under his arm.
1T was SO long ago ] had really for
gotten all about It," Which was very
well said for George.

b%lushing was another Of those uncon-
trollable asininities Of his. 1t was
really she, come out of a past he had
hoped to be eternally inresuscitant;
the droll, the witty woman, to whom
in one mad moment Of liberality and
Galahadism he had loaned without Sc
curity one hundred and fifty pounds at
the roulette tables in Monte Carlo;
she, for whom he had always blushed
when he recalled how easily she had
mulcted him! And here she was, Sc
rene, lovely as ever, unchanged.
my dear" said the stranger George
couldn't recall by what name he had
known herr; my DEAR" to Fortune
Chedsoye, who stood a little behind
her, "this is the gentleman I've often
told you about. You were at school
at the time. I borrowed a hundred and
fifty pounds of him at Monte Carlo.
And what do you think? When went
to pay him back the next day, he was
| gone, without leaving the slightest
clue to his whereabouts. Isn't that
droll? And to think that l should
meet him here!"
That her name had slipped his
memory, If indeed he had yer known
1t, was true; but one thing fingered
incandescently in his mind, and that
was, he had written her, following
infinitely her own specific directions
and inclosing his bankers address in
Paris, Naples and Cairo; and for many
passings of moons he had opened his
foreign mail eagerly and hopefully.
But hope must have something to
feed upon, and after a struggle lasting
two years, she rendered UP the ghost,
|. 1t wasn't the loss Of money that
hurt; 1t was the finding Of dross metal
where he supposed there was naught
but gold. Perhaps his later shyness
was due as much to this disillusion'
ing incident as to his middle names.
Isn't 1t droll, my dear?" the en-
chantress repeated; and George grew
redder and redder under the beautiful
grateful eyes. 81 must give him a draft
this very morning"
@But . Why, my dear Ma

Fortune laughed. Somehow the quail
ity of that laughter pierced Georges
confused brain as sometimes a shat

stiletto-like. It was full Of malice.

CHAPTER IV.--(continued.)


Some light steps, a rustic, and he
wheeled in time to see a woman open
a door, stand for a minute in the full
light, and disappear. 1t was she.
George opened the door of his own
room, threw the rug inside, and tip
toed along the corridor, stopping for
the brtefest time to ascertain the
number of that room. He felt vastly
more guilty in performing this harm

There was no n IN the head-por-
ter's bureau; thus, unobserved and I'M
embarrassed, he was free to inspect
the guest-list. Fortune C~hedsoye. He
had never seen a name quite like that.
Its Q~uaintness did not suggest to him,
as 1t had done to Ryanne, the pas
toral, the bucolic. Rather 1t remind
ed him OF the old French courts, of
rapiers and buckles, Of powdered wigs
and furbelows, masks, astrologers,

scribed by the genial narrator Of the
exploits of D'Artagnan. And abruptly

that elderly codger wasn't her father,
who was he and what?
The Major-for George had looked
him up also-was In excellent trim for
his age, something Of a military dandy

young and exquisite a creature! Out
