 ] had hardly closed the door after them when it opened again and Mr Pierce came in. He shut the door and, going over to- -one of the tables, put a package down on it.
 Here's the stuG you wanted for the spring, Minnie" he announced. q suppose can't do anything more than register a protest against it?"
 You needn't bother doing that" answered. unless it makes ycu feel better. Your authority ends at that door. Inside the spriughouse I'm in control"

 Well, he sat there and looked at nothing while I heated water in my brass kettle over the fire and dissolved the things against Thoburn's quick eye the next day, and he didn't say anything. He had a gift for keeping quiet, NIT. Pierce had. It got on my nerves. after a while.
 Things are doing better" re- marked, stirring up my mixture.
 Yes" he said, without moving. "Miss-Miss Jennings and the-von h. .wald were here just now, weren't they? passed them on the bridge" Yes"
 ''What-how do you like him?"
 Better than l expected and not so well as I might l said.
 Mrs. Hutchins came out to the .springhouse the next morning. She was dressed in a black silk with real lace collar and cuffs, and she was so puffed up with pride that shv forgot to be nasty to me.
 q thought I'd better come to you, Minnie" she said. MT. Carter has put the-has put Nr. yon Inwald in the north wing. l cannot imagine why he should have given him the coldest and most disagreeable part of the house"
 I said I'd speak to Mir. Carter and try to have him moved, and she went away, but l made up my mind 10 talk to Mir. Pierce. The sanatoFium busi- ness isn't one where you can put your own likes and dislikes against the com fort of the guests.
 l was sick enough of hearing of NIT. won Inwald before the day was over. All morning in the springhouse they talked MT. von Inwald. They pretend ed to play cards, but they were really playing European royalty. Every time somebody laid down a queen, he'd say, 'Is the queen still living, or didn't she die few years ago?" And when they played the knGve, they'd start of about the prince again.
 In the afternoon MT. von Inwald came out to the springhOuse and sat around, very affabIe and friendly drinking the water. He and the bishop grew quite chummy. Miss Patty was not there, but about four o'clock Mir. Pierce came out. He did not sit down, but wandered around the room, not talking to anybody, but staring, when. ever he could, at the prince. Once l caught Mir. von Inwald's eyes fixed on him, as if he might have seen him be fore.
 Senator Biggs was the one who real 1y caused the trouble. What do you think of American women, Mir. von h. wald?" he asked, and everybody stopped playing cards and listened for the answer. As MT. von Inwald repre- sented the prince, wouldn't he be like ly to voice the princes opinion oi American women?
 It's my belief MT. von Inwald was going to say something nice. He smiled as if he meant to, but just then he saw MT. Pierce in his corner sneering behind his pipe. They looked at each other steadily, and nobody could mistake the hate in Mir. Pieree's face or his sheer. After a minute the prince looked away and shrugged his shoulders, but he didn't make bis pretty speech.
 American women," he said, turning his glass of spring water around on the table before him, they are very lovely. of course. Bat they are spoiled fesrfuIly spoiled. They rule their par ents and they expect to rule their hus bands. In Europe we do things bet ter; we are not-what is the English -hag-ridden 2"
 There was a sort of murmur among the men, but the women all noudeo
