"Well, he can keep on following u.s.
said Miss DRAGON. There's no law
against it, l suppose-not over here"
The tea, the music, even the clothes
she wore, were all well calculated to
soothe a feminine heart-especially
one that could not have been more
than twenty years old; but, as she
gazed out over the terrace of Armenon-
vile, with an elaborate pretense of
recognizing no one in the fashionable
throng, there was dangerous sparkle
in Miss DRAGONS eye.
Her mother, personification of
American dollars and we'll preserved
youth, looked at her with an indul-
gent smile.
His title is perfectly good" she
purred. Il looked it up-in the AL
manach de Gotha, where only royal

Look out. He's coming over
1t had required no very keen vision
on the part of Prince Frederick Won
Hohenstaufen to see the DRAGONS,
mother and daughter. An omniscient
head waiter, in the first place, with an
eye to ten-franc tip, had placed them
at a table where all might see. And,
in the second place, they were not the
sort of people who escape observation.
Great wealth, sagaciously used, stamps
its possessors with an imprint as I'M
as the sterling mark on
solid plate.
Prince Frederick was likewise no.
but otherwise.
AS he made his way, with queer
of eagerness and anxiety Wis
ible in his face, through the perfumed, |
gayly chatting swarm of |
Parisians and foreign notables who |
were enjoying themselves in the Bots |
that afternoon, he suffered badly by |
comparison, in spite of his youth.
So Miss DRAGON thought.
His features were SNUG and homely, |
giving his clean-shaven face an express
sion she associated vaguely with gro
,ers or grooms. His skin was fresh
but exposure to the sun had

What did he expect to do with his
arm. Run to the hospital with it to
have it sewed on?
Beaujon pursued his search, chuck
ling.
The east grew rosy and a sweet, cool
breeze blew against him. The day
| promised to be fine and clear. He was
glad of that.
| Jean always liked to lie fiat on his
back in an open field, staring up at the
! sky with eyes that we're as blue. Nine.
Wales was German, and her eyes
were like her sons.
She wept because her sister had
boys in the German army Her own
| husband was Belgian, and her SYM
pathy must go with. him; and Jean,
her son-was he not fighting the uh-
lans as we'll as his father?
But women took life hard
He was sorry for women. He
thought again of that fellow running
off with his own arm before he col
lapsed. There was a saying in the
Bible, ''As one whom his mother COM
forteth." The fellow had probably
started to run home to his mother.
She must be proud of her big BOBBY.
He chuckled again.
He had forgotten that word which
had impressed him so strongly-that
word which would help him. He knew
it was important, but he had forgotten
it again.
He hummed a tune-a little, old,
A1satian tune-as he continued his
search; the men whose faces he looked
at made no impression on him; ne
only knew they were not Jean.
The sun flashed on the bayonets and
sabers lying about; it was pretty as
sparkling sea.
He bent over body. Some instinct
made him rise and whirl about on his
heel.
He was face to face with one of
the uhlans The German was on foot.
Each man was but mirror of the
other, so identical were their express
sions; each had believed himself alone
searching for friend. They stared at
each other; they turned; they ran in
opposite directions as if pursued by
demons
The fight was out of both of them. |
Beaujon dropped his rife as he ran. |
Horror was on his heels. He stumbled |
and fell and lay as if dead, then |
reached slyly for his rifle.
AS his hand gripped it he realized
that it must be another mans, for he
had dropped his own
He sat up and looked over the field.
The enemy had disappeared. He
turned his head, and there beside him
lay Jean. 1t was jeans rifle he held
He knew by the smile on Jeans face
that the lad was dead.
Only dead men were happy like
that; that is, the right sort of dead

| men, not the Kind who struggled TO
! get back to life.
Jeans blue eyes looked straight up
| into the sky.
Beaujon touched the boys face.
1t was still warm. Then he knew
that pale star which blinked at him
and went out was signal from Jean.
He wished he could lie down beside
him, but he had promised to return.
He had been promoted for bravery,
this Beaujon. Who was the fellow
Beaujon, Beaujon, Beaujon. But he
had promised to get back to him. He
must find Beaujon again.
He lifted Jean on his back and
started homeward 1t was strange
that he was carrying Jeans rifle in
stead of his own.
1t was message that he must fight
for them both. He was grim but ex-
ultant as he strobe on. Where he had
killed one man before. now he would
kill two; it would be double the num-
Der always, double for Jean.
The ground was uncertain and he
stumbled; then he realized he was
trampling over the dead with his
boots on. He laid Jean down and took
OF his boots, then lifted his friend
again and went on in his stocking
feet.
When he came into the city again
no one offered to help him, for Beau |
ION was a Riant in cfropqth and he |
bore Jean as though he had been a
girl.
He climbed the road and turned |
into small hotel. |
Nine. Wales sat at the table with
the one guest left in the hotel; she
was having an extra cup of coffee with
her and they were talking about the
war.
Beaujon's figure filled the doorway

made it red in spots instead of giving
it the even tan possessed by most of
the other men she knew.
And his clothes!
| They also reminded Miss DRAGON
vaguely of grocers and grooms, dressed
up.
"Ah, Mrs. DRAGON; again Permit
me to salute YOU"
The prince had taken the tips of
Mrs. DRAGONS fingers and lifting them
ever SO slightly, was performing the
acrobatic feat of bending forward from
the hips without fiexing the knees. He
had touched the fingers with his lips.
"Ah, Miss Elizabeth"
He repeated the salute.
"Sit down here with us, dear prince"
said Mrs. DRAGON. COR, are you with
friends? When did you leave Amer
ica?"
The heir of Hohenstaufen dropped
into the chair that waiter had al
ready pushed into position, gave one
meaning look at Elizabeth DRAGON,
then turned once more to the older
woman.
AS soon as learned you had gone,
then I left he said
Elizabeth bit her lip, while her
mother smiled easily.
"A coincidence said Mrs. DRAGON.
"a coincidence, conceded the
prince, ''but designed by me-"
He looked from mother to daughter. |
Mrs. DRAGON was listening intently. no
doubt, although she had the air of one
who is rather preocupiec with some
hing else. The daughters eyes met
his with the suspicion of a challenge

A moment later she and her mothe,
were leaning against each other for

Very stiff and straight in a new, uni
form, surrounded by officers who were
showing him obvious respect, there
stood under the yellow simmer of the
station light some one whom they both
had instantly recognized-Prince Fred
