About 200 saloons in ffty-nine towns

The decision Of the government,

valid, first became known when Spe-

be hurried forward? De Bren-

Quite" she answered.
And he understands the posi-
tion?"

swered.

the Princess said.

together, and l am sure of 1t. De
Brensault isn't one of those fell
lows who improve upon acquaint-
ance. Look, there they are.
Nothing very lover-like about
that, is there"
De Brensault and Jeanne were
crossing the room together. He
was saying something to her to
which she seemed to be paying
the scantiest of attention. Sud
denly, just as they reached the
entrance, they saw her whole ex-
preston change. A wave of
color flooded her cheeks. Her
hands were outstretched to greet
the man who, crossing the room
had stopped at her summons. II
was Andrew de la Borne.
THAT internal fisherman!
Forrest muttered.
The Princess made an involun-
tary movement forward, but For
rest checked her.
You can do not good" he said.
"Wait and see what happens
What did happen was very sim
pie. Jeanne passed her arm
through the newcomers and with
the .curtest of mods to her late
companion, disappeared through
an open doorway. De Brensault
stood looking after them. He was
shaking with anger.
Leave him alone for a few
minutes" Forrest said to the
Princess. You will do no good
at all by speaking to him just
now"
Meanwhile Jeanne was sitting
with her companion in the quiet
est corner they could find.

Andrew looked as he felt for a

said, quietly.

answered; nothing In the world

His face cleared somewhat.

CHAPTER XIV.
Il Marriage Arranged.

The Count de Brensault had
seldom been in a worse temper.
That Jeanne should have flouted
him was not in itself so terrible.
because he had quite made up his
mind that sooner or later he
would take towards revenge
for the sights he had been made
to endure at her hands.
But that he should have been
flouted in the presence of a whole
roomful of people was a different
matter altogether. He must have
an understanding with the Prin-
cess, something definite must be
done.
Forrest found him in exactly
the mood most suitable for his
purpose.
Come and talk to the Prin-
cess" he said. .She has some
thing to say to you"
Come and talk to the Prin-
cess" he said. ''She has some

too, have something to say to
her."
They found the Princess. She
motioned to De Brensault to sit
by her side. and Forrest left
them.
My dear Count" the Princess
said, tonight has proved to me
that 1t is quite time Jeanne had
someone to look after her. Let
me ask you. Are you perfectly
serious in your suit?"
Absolutely" De Brensault an
swered eagerly. 81 myself would
like the matter settled. pro-
pose to you for her hand"
The Princess bowed her head
thoughtfully.
Now. my dear Count" she
said, II am going to talk to you
as a woman of the world. You
know that my husband, In leav-
ing his fortune entirely to Jeanne,
treated me very badly. You may
know this, or you may not know
IL. but the fact remains that | am
a very poor woman"
De Brensault nodded sympa-
thetically. He guessed pretty

However, as you are both rich,
It seems to me that settlements
will not be necessary. On your
honeymoon you can go and see

De Brensault looked thought
full for a moment or two.

be better IL had a business in

the ceremony"

Jeanne of the Marshes"

Cecil drifted away, and Andrew
made his way slowly back to the
ballroom. There was a slight
block at the entrance, and he had
to stand aside to let several cou-
pies pass out. One of the last OF
these was Jeanne, on the arm OF
young Belamy Smith.
Jeanne Immediately excused
herself and turned away with
him. Andrew sought a secluded
corner and Jeanne kept up a light
chatter until they reached 1T. Once
behind the palms, however, she
confronted him.
What were you and my step
mother discussing for SO long on
the lawn the morning after the
storm? The truth, mind. You
and l owe each other that"
1t was the first time she had
seen him since her stepmotheT
had told her that the supposed
fisherman was in reality Andrew
De La Borne.
I'VE talked of you," he an
swered.
THAT is a good start" she said
Now tell me the rest"
Il am not sure" he answered
that / feel inclined to do that. .

at him.

Your stepmother," he said
was perfectly reasonable . and
very candid. She reminded me
that you were a great heiress, and
that as yet you had seen nothing
of the world. l do not know why
she thought 1t necessary to point
this out to me, except that perhaps
she thought that in some mad
moment | might have conceived
the idea that you"
THAT II" she repeated softly,
as he hesitated.
He set his teeth hard and
frowned.
"You know what / mean" he
said coldly. "Your stepmother is
a clever woman, and a woman of
the world. She was afraid that |
might think things were possible
between us which after all must
always remain outside serious
consideration. She wanted to warn
me. 1t was kindness, but 1 am
sure that it was unnecessary"
For that reason" she re-
marked, leaning a little towards
him, you went fishing in a dirty
little boat for three weeks with
out saying goodby."
ut was the inevitable thing to
do" he answered. You may
think today one thing, but 1t is
for others who are older and wis
err than you to remember that
you are only a child"
She touched his great brown
hand with the delicate tips of hei
fingers.
Dear Mr.. Andrew" she said
you are very big and strong and
obstinate. You will have your
own way however / may plead.
He rose at once. To stay there
was worse torture than to go. She
gave him her hand, and flashed a
look at him which he was not
likely to forget.

CHAPTER XIII.
Jeanne Must Marry.

The Princess looked up with I'LL
concealed eagerness as Forrest en-
tered.

any news?"
Forrest shook his head.
"oNne," he answered. ct am

with startled eyes.

life. and he left enormous sums in
