Diana's S Dream

-EN years ago one of the most
famous hunting seats in France
was that of Marquis de c..
The guests at the chateau were old
friends, neighbors from Brittany,
who came with their own horses, and
Parisians who were invited in relays.
each to stay for a couple Of weeks.
Some of the hunts were also attended
by the officers OF a cavalry regiment
from Pontivy.
Marquise Diana was far more fond
of hunting than her husband, who
was too much of Partisan not to
miss his dear city as soon as he had
been away from 1T a single day, but
he was deeply In love with his wife
and for her sake he had had the In
terror of the old chateau modernized
and furnished most magnificently.
She loved her husband, too, but her
love was neither as constant nor as
strong as his.
One day society was surprised to
hear that the chateau was to be let
and that the marquis had definitely
given up hunting. Was he ruined?
No, ii could not be that, for at the
same time it was announced that the
marquis, who had formerly only oc-
pied the ground floor of his big town
residence. letting the other floor to
rich Americans, in the future would
occupy the whole mansion himself
The true reason nobody guessed. but

heard it from an intimate friend OF
the marquis.
Among those who were invited to
take part in the last hunts at the
chateau, which nobody knew were to
be the last, was Raymond de r..
who had just served his term In
cavalry regiment He was 22 years
of age, but looked barely Is. with his
slender. boyish form and his pink and
white complexion.
A NEW GAME
From the very day OF his arrival the
marquise discovered that it was pos
sible to be interested In other things
besides hunting, dogs, horses and
boars Raymond, on the other side,
was fascinated by the beauty and
grace of the young chatelaine. and
made use of every opportunity to be
near. He was at her side all day
while they were hunting, in the even
ing he danced with nobody else, and
at the end of each dance he led her
away from the rest of the party into
the garden or out on the loggia. Tho
marquise enjoyed this game of fiirt-
ing. especially as Raymond was SO
timid and bashful' that she thought
she had nothing to fear. but after a
while she became alarmed at the
discovery that she was In danger Of
falling seriously in love with him.

During the night the marquise had
strange dream.
She saw herself coming down the
broad stairs of the chateau ready for
the hunt. When her husband helped
her into the saddle he said with a
vicious smile:

have a very exciting run today. The

then jumped across ditch and ran
into the woods. A moment later the
dogs took up his trail and followed
him.
A STRANGE DREAM
How strange" the marquise
thought. Raymond is the game to-
day. But why is he on foot. and why
do the dogs follow him?"
The excitement grew. The barking

through the forest. After a while the
marquise caught sight of Raymond
again. He was running very fast now
He was bareheaded and had thrown
away his coat and vest. His face was
wet with perspiration and the furious
dogs were only a couple of hundred
yards behind him.

We must call back the dogs. The
poor boy is all exhausted

This is excellent sport; let us go on
