CHAPTER IV.-(Continuedl


Some light steps, g rustic, and he
Nheeled in time to see a woman open
3 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 briefest time to ascertain the
number of that room. He felt vastly
more guilty in performing this harm
less act than in smothering his men
tor.
There was no one in the head-por-
Ser's bureau; thus, unobserved and I'M
embarrassed, ne was free to inspect
the guest-list. Fortune Chedsoye. He
had never seen a name quite like that.
It's Quaintness did not suggest to him,
as it had done to Ryanne, the pas
tOral, the bucOlic. Rather it remind
ed him of the old French courts, of
'rapiers and buckles, of powdered wigs
and furbelowg, masks, astrologers,
love-intrigues, of all those colorful,
mutable scenes so charmingly de-
scribed by the genial narrator Of the
exploits Of D'Artagnan. And abruptly
out of this age Of Lebrun, Vatican
AfoIiere, reached an ice-cold hand. II
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
besides; but as the husband of so
young and exquisite a creature! Out
upon the thought! He might be her
guardian, or, at most, her uncle. but
never her husband. Yet 90 poisonous
doubtD, at the table she had ignored
the Major, both his jests and his at
tentions. He had seen many wives,
toyfully from a safe distance, act to-
ward their husbands in this fashion.
Oh, rot! If his name was Callahan
and hers Chedscye, they could not
possibly be tied in any legal bonds He
dismissed the ice-cold hand and turned
again to the comforting warmth of his
ardor.
He had never spoken to young wom-
en- without presentation, and on these
rare occasions he had preached the
weather, suggested the possibilities of
the weather, and concluded with an
apostrophe on the weather at large. 1t
was usually a valedictory. For he was
always positive that he had acted like
a fool, and was afraid to speak to the
girl again. Never it failed, ten minutes
after the girl was out OF sight, the
brightest and cleverest things crowd
ed upon his tongue, to be but wasted
on the desert air. He was not particu-
iarly afraid Of women older than
himself, more's the pity. And yet, had
ne been as shy toward them as toward
the girls, there would have been no
stolen Yhiordes, no sad-eyed maiden,
no such thing as The United Romance
and Adventure Company. Ltd; and he
would have stepped the even tenor Of
his way, unknown of grand passions,
swift adventure, life.

The echo Of it still rang in his ears
And while he could not have described

It seemed to him that Fortune Chef

idea of the ground plan.
Two distinct purposes controlled the
women in this instance. One desired
to interest him, while the other sought
to learn whether he was stupid or only
shy.
At last, when he left them to change
his clothes and hurry down to COOK 3
TO complete the bargain for the Yh1or'

well that they had accepted his inYt

blushing was another of those uncon-

really she, come out Of a past he had
hoped to be eternally inresuscitant;
the droI, the witty woman, to whom
in one mad moment Of liberality and
Galahadism he had loaned without Sc
eurity 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 little behind
her, this is the gentleman I've often
told you about. You were at school
at the time borrowed hundred and
fifty pounds of him at Monte Carlo.
And what do you think? When I went
to pay him back the next day, he was
gone, without leaving the slightest
droll? And to think that l should
meet him here!"
That her name had slipped his
memory, if indeed he had ever known
it, 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 hid 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; it 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 it droll, my dear?" the en-
chantress repeated; and George grew
redder and redder under the beautiful,
grateful eyes. Il must give him draft

George was determined to meet For
tune Chedsoye, and this determination,
the first of it's kind to take definite
form in his mind, gave him novel
sensation. He would find some way,
and he vowed to best his old enemy,
diffidence, if it was the last fight he
ever put up. He would maneuver to
get in the way of the Major. He never
found much trouble in talking to men.
Once he exchanged a word or two
with the uncle or guardian, he would
make it point to renew the acqua1nt-
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 gees 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 elation 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
portculIis 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.
"Oh, yes, sir"
How old?"
The merchant picked up the tag
and squinted at it. "It is between two
and three hundred years old, sir"
To Georges opinion the gods them
selves could not have arranged a more
propitious moment.
you've made a mistake" he inter
posed quietly. THAT is Bokhara. but
the stitch is purely modern"
The dark eyes of the Indian flashed.
"The gentleman is an authority?" sar-
castically.
Upon that style of embroidery, alb
solutely." George smiled. And then,
without more ado, he went on to ex-
plain the difference between the an
tioue and the modern. You have one
good piece of old Bokhara, but it isn't
rare. Twenty pounds would be a good
price for it"
The Major laughed heartily. "And
lust this moment he asked a hundred
for it. I'm not much of hand in
Judging these things. l admire them,
but have no intimate knowledge re-
garding their worth. Nothing tonight"
he added to the bitter-eyed merchant.
THE Oriental is like the amateur fish
erman; truth is not in him. You seem
to be a keen judge" as they moved
away from the booth.

dinately fond of the things. I've really

The Girl Who wasn't wanted.

could not say that he had written.

her word, an objectionable rudeness.
So, for her very beauty alone, he gave
her the full benefit of the doubt.
