it escaped for the moment"
"Three weeks"

That's a long time in these days
Of speedy divorces" said Medcroft
blandly.
The Care de FEST was thronged with
people when Brock appeared fully half
an hour before departing time. In no
little dismay he found himself wonder
ing if the whole of Paris was going
away or, on the other hand, If the rest
of the continent was arriving. He felt
a fool in Medcroft's unspeakable check
ed suit, and the eyeglass was a much
more obstinate, untractable thing than
he had even suspected il could be.
The right side of his face was in a
condition of semiparalysis, due to the
muscular exactions required, He had
a sickening fear that the scowl that
marked his brow was destined to form
perpetual alliance with the smirk at
the corner of his nose, forever destroy
ing the symmetry of his face. If one
who has not the proper facial con-
struction will but attempt the feat of
holding a monocle in place for I'M
broken hours he may come to arpreci-
ate at least one of the trials which be-
set poor Brock.
Every one seemed to be staring at
him. He heard more than one Ameri-
can in the scurrying throng say to an
other, English" and he felt relieved
until an Englishman or two upset his
confidence by brutally abiding TO him
as COMPOUNDED American toady."
IT was quite train time before Mrs.
Medcroft was seen hurrying in from
the carriage way. pursued by trio Of
facteurs laden with bags and boxes.
Don't shake hands!' she warned in
quick whisper as they came together.
II recognized you by the clothes"
''Thank God. 1t wasn't my face" he
cried. Are your trunks checkedY'~
YES, this afternoon. have nothing

wagons Its in the wake Of the bag bear
ers. Mrs. Medcroft was as self pos
sessed and as degagee as he was III at
ease and awkward. As they asceHded
the steps of the carriage she turned
back TO him and said with the most
malicious twinkle in her eyes:
I'm not a bit nervous"
But you've been married so much
longer than / have" he responded.
Then came the disposition Of the bags
and parcels. She calmly directed the
porters to put the overflow into the up
