about all that could be said, though.
Anyway, | want on the lookout for
anything special from her on the night of
the return party at our house. Maybe l
was little fused myself, gettin' gussied
up just right; for we don't have Russian
cOuntesses common at dinner,-nO even
for breakfast and | was wonderin' if l
should have to tackle carvin' with white
gloves on. Then, when they finally
arrives, along about seven-thirty, I'm so
near starved, my one idea is to shoe em
in where the nOurishment is.
"Don't be in a rush, whispers Sadie,
"Do let them get their wraps off. Be-
sides, Dora isn't down yet, and-oh, here
she comes!"
"Wha-a-a-at!' gasps, gettin' a
glimpse of the fairy foatin' down the
stairs. "Say, you don't mean"
"Hush!' says Sadie, givin' me the
nudge.
SAY, she'd put it over. You know how
- they're buildn' some of the. new
evenin' dresses now-out of steen yards
of transparent black net and blamed little
else? Sort of an X-ray photo effect.
Well that was Dora's outfit. And, say,
with her slim white neck and her white
shoulders, and her dark hair and her big
black eyes with the long lashes, and the
roses bloomin in her cheeks-well, may
be I'm no beauty judge, but she had me
blnkin', all right. And if young Mr..
Sneezowski, or whatever his name was,
didn't get any thrill, then he must have
been dead one.
The Countess Zitkoff don't miss any
of this presto-change business, at least.
She whirls accusin' on Miss Peaslee at
once.
"Ann," says she, "what have you been
doing with your niece?'
Miss Peaslee smiles sort of satisfied.
"The poor child!' says she. ave have

had not realized how sadly she needed

"Humph!" says the Countess, eyein'

From the very start, after she'd got over
her blushin fit, Dora acts like different
girl. Chat? Why, inside of five minutes
she was givin' him back as good as he
sent, and l judged from the admirin'
glances the young gent aimed her way
that he was lettin' some of his thoughts
leak through into his conversation.

hOgany dressers and Hlepplewhite chairs
slowed away in barns and attics; Miss
Dora, she's listenin' polite, with her
hands folded proper in her lap; and me,
I'm runnin' through the war news in
the evenin' papers; when an automobile
siren cuts loose outside, the front door-bell
is rung violent, and in blows Pinckney
with party of friends. Nothin' special,
only he'd been givin' little dinner party
at some gasolene joint up the line, and
on the way back he'd taken a notion to
drop in on us.
Charmed, aren't your" says he to
Sadie. "But it turned cold so quickly
that the Countess was getting quite
chilled. By the way, Mrs. McCabe,
you've met the Countess Zitkoff, haven't
you? Yes, was sure you had. Think of
Russian minding a little frost!"
"Lit-tle!" says the Countess, stretchin'
her toes out on the fender. "But | am
persisted. Br-r-r-rl Listen, Mrs. Nc
Cabe. Forty miles in an open motor!
He is an assassin. See | SILVER in all
my bones"
Meaning" adds Pinckney, with a
wink at me, "that the Countess would
not look with scorn on nip of brandy"
1t was a good guess. @Ma foil" says
she, as | rushes the pain-kller at her.
"Cognac! l am rescued"
Some stable nip that was she pours
out, too. But then, there was such a lot
of the Countess to warm up. I've seen
countesses before that didn't look the
part at all. But this one did, believe
me. Not the lumpy, squatty kind, but
tall as well as wide. A reg'lar whale of
an old girl. And in her day | should
say she must have been quite sumner,
too.
"Ah-h-h!" says she, handin' back the
glass. "If am ever permitted to return
to my dear Petrograd, you must visit me
for year. Only SO can | repay. And
now"
Here she dives into gold mesh bag and
produces a ruby-set case full of long, gold
tipped cigarettes; she don't even have to
borrow match.
And just as she's BLOWN out the first
few puffs | happens to get glimpse of
Dora, watchin' bug-eyed from the back
ground. Her education was comm on
fast.
About the same time, too, l notices
Miss Peaslee.
She'd been introduced, of course, but
kind of hasty across the room, and
she'd sided off quiet. Now she's edgin'
up, though, for good look at the
Countess. Viewin' the cigarette smokin',
judged. So I'm little Jared when all
of a sudden she marches right up to our
sporty guest
"Why!' says she, sort of gaspy. at
it's lara, isn't it? You have probably
forgotten me, though-Ann Peaslee"
The Countess Zitkoff poises her bare
forearm half lifted, the cigarette between
her fingers, and stares through the smoke
ring.
Only for minute, though.
"Eh?" says She "What is that you
tell me? Not-not La Petite ParfaiU
Mdis oui! 1t is-Ann! Attend, all of
you. From the past she comes to me
thus. Ma ch6rie! Ah-h-h-h!'
And before Miss Peaslee can do duck
she's been clinched. her straight cut nose
tucked under the Countess's second chin
among the pearl ropes, with the Countess's
cigarette wavin' just clear of her back
hair.

"But wish it stopped" announces the
Countess.
Miss Ann is one of the cool, calm kind.
She raises her white eyebrows trife, and
then asks placid: "Do you, Zara?'
Certainly" says the Countess. "Don't
you?"
Miss Peaslee twists the slim little glass
in her fingers, gain at it thoughtful be-
fore she answers.
"You didn't say that she finally
comes back at her, "when Ivan-when
your brother came to see me so often,
there in the Rue Parnasse."
ooh, them says the Countess, wavn'
her cigarette careless. "But you were
such an innocent. That was such-such
nonsense"
"Was it," says Miss Peaslee, smiln'
quiet. 81 didn't know. Ivan said he
wanted to marry me-"
"He-he did, gasps the Countess.
Ivan?"
Miss Ann mods. "For two hours one
evening he pleaded and urged" she goes
on. "He asked me to run off with him.
He had made all the arrangements-the
civil papers were ready, a priest of his
church waiting"
"And you--you would not?" demands
the Countess.
Miss Peaslee shakes her head
al thought it wouldn't be right" SAYS
she. "There was my mother-my father.
He was minister, you know. And they
had both scrimped and worked so hard
to send me over. Besides. considered

Dora was twenty last June. And this
this is her first chance to know any one

The Countess Zitkoff shrugs her Shout

"You forget Ann" says She any

general in the imperial army. While
your niece"
as an Allen" breaks in Miss Peaslee,
liftn' her head and givin' the Countess
quick flash from her clear eyes. "A Green
Mountain Allen, and direct descendant
of Colonel Ethan Allen. who captured
Fort Ticonderoga from the British in the
name of Jehovah and the Continental
Congress-"
THINK of havin' chunk of hst'ry
like that chucked at you across demi-
tasse!
And, believe me, the way she hands it
out, it listens some impressive, too. The
Countess might have been posted on
the Revolution, or she might not, but she
couldn't help gettin' the idea that Miss
Dora was no four-fusher when it came to
ancestors. And that seems to figure with
the old girl
"Ah!' says she. "A soldier too? A
hero, perhaps?"
Miss Peaslee springs that quiet smile of
hers again. She unfastens heavy silver
pin from her waist and passes it over.
"A facsimile of one of the Ethan AL
len monuments" says she. "Ugly enough,
isn't it? | wear it sometimes, however.
You see, my mother was an Allen, too.
And that time when told her about Ivan

Miss Peaslee suggests that she couldn't
leave her niece.
"What! A niece" says the Countess.
"Ah, one must be careful. These ro-
mantle youths, you know. Michel is so
much like his father, too. But where is
she, this niece?"
So Dora, actin more dumb and scared
than ever, is led out for inspection. The
Countess gives her shrewd, quick
glance.
"Oh!" says she. "That one? Then she
must come too. We will arrange it, will
we not? have taken villa. 1t is not

TRANSFORMATION

THE owner, MI. Cecil B. Highland, commenced
l work on this property one year ago last January,
and has been on the job constantly ever since. All
the work has been done under his personal superUs-

car lines have been lowered and 1elaid; all sewer,
gas and water lines taken up and laid in the alleys;
all telephone wires are put down in c%onduits under
ground; all poles for street car lines, electric wires
and lights are iron and ornamental design-not a
wooden pole in the whole property.
All streets are paved and will not have to be dis
turbed; all sidewalks are cement
