TO-DAY'S INSTALLMENT.
Fifty first chapter-Continued.

Didn't l say the river air would do
you good, dearest?" she said, and then
she added something else, which
would have been very sweet If it had
been meant sweetly, about there be-
ing no surer way to make a girl beau
tiful than to make her happy.
There was some talk of our dining
together that night, but l excused
myself, and taking leave of Martin,
who gave my hand a gentle pressure,
/ ran upstairs without waiting for
the lift, being anxious to get to my
own room that l might be alone and
go over everything in my mind
/ did so, ever so many times, re-
calling all that had been said and
done by the commander and his com
rades, and even by Treacle, but
above all by Martin, and laughing
softly to myself as l lived my day
over again in a world of dream.
= My maid came in once of twice
with accounts of the gorgeous Derby
dinner that was going on downstairs,
but that did not matter to me in the
least, and as soon as l had swallowed
a little food l went to bed early
partly in order to get rid of Price,
that I might go over everything again
and yet again.
I must have done so far into the
night, and even when the wings of
my memory were weary of their f1ut-
tering and / was dropping off at last,
| thought I heard Martin calling
"shpmate," and / said Yes" quite
loud. as il he had been with me still
in that vague and beautiful shadow
land which lies on the frontier of
sleep.
How mysterious, how magical, how
wonderful!
Looking back l can not but think
it strange that even down to that mo-
ment / did not really know what was
happening to me, being only con-
scious of a great flood of joy. | can
not but think it strange that though
Nature had been Whispering to me for
months l did not know what it had
been saying. ! can not but think 1t
strange that, though had been look
ing for love so long without finding
it, / did not recognize it Immediately
when it had come to me of itself.
But when l awoke early in the
morning, very early, while the sun
rise was filling my bedroom with
rosy flush, and the thought of Mar
tin was the first that was springing
from the mists of sleep to my con-
scious mind, and l was asking myself
how it happened that l was feeling
so glad, while l had so many causes
for grief, then uddenly-suddenly
as the sun streams through the cloud
scud over the seal knew that what
had long been predestined had hap
pened that the WCndrous new birth,
the great revelation, the joyous mys-
terry which comes to every woman in
the world had come at last to me.
/ was in love.
l was in love with Martin Conrad.

the sake of this danger, then, only
hope that you won't beat about the bush.

wings and bore him aloft-"Im from

"The devil they have!" replied Mr..
Captain tersely. And l am going to be

respect due to $1,000.

piled.
The dealer laughed. yes" he said,

Charles walked out with his purchase,
and reJolned the lady in the taxicab a
few doors lower down. They drove to
| Maxim's in Wardour street.
/ You are not as dull a pupil as you
seem, said Anna kindly when Charles
had entertained her at lunch with a
glowing recital of his perspicacity over
the Brammel deal.
He received the compliment, as she
gave it, with laughter. She summoned
the waiter, ordered private room from
two to two-thirty, and continued:
Van kiet will buy the picture this
afternoon He may or may not 60 to
Brammel first; in either case it does
not matter. They daren't advertise the
trick when they see it, and all van
kiet wants is the picture"
1t was not long before the American
dealer, van Kiet, came up. His great
face was perfectly stolid, his eyes blank
of all expression, and he looked from
the young man to the young woman
with peculiar penetrating stare that
dwelt on the young woman.
Miss Anna Stuart2" asked the Wis
itor.
Il am Anna Stuart, and this"-she
indicated Charles-"is my partner. We
have in our possession The Jocund

red mouth curled into laughter edged
with scorn, and she laughed till van Ket
Joined her, and Charles, watching the
case from the background laughed, too,
with the happiness and excitement and
fond foolishness OF lover.

foot swung.

a sudden change to helpless-woman air

said, Talk, man."
Mr.. Captain drove vigorously into the
bargain.
Anna took a chair by the window
and played with a little gold pencil and
tiny notebook upon her knee, her back
to the men, and looked out into the
street AT last, the discussion waxing
hot, she rose and came round the room
toward them.

she rather regally, ut is haggling
Charles, go down and pick out some
thing good to drink and tell the manager

When Charles had risen from his
chair, she slipped into it, placed her
elbows on the table, bent her glowing
face to the dealer compelling his at
tention, and complained, relapsing again
into the helpless-woman air that is at
once the simplest and most effective
form of feminine 1attery.
Her charming voice ran on. The
dealers eyes, obstinate, indulgent,
shrewd and admiring, were on her face.

gin an account Of his business, but she
stopped him, saying:
Don't talk. Read that to amuse your
self" She opened the check book.

Charles was more surprised at Mr..

apparently was by Charles.

finger tips togcther-"My dear sirl" said
Mr.. Bramfnel. "My dear sir Are you

shown by the dealer. II only hope that
