Marie out to return the rest"
She had kept the coat and bonnet that
he selected! What in thunder was there
about that. to make a man feel so con.
foundedly well satisfied?
THEY left the hotel at three, and rode
that day as far as a country inn which
took their fancy just before coming into
Joigny. 1t was, to Marjory, wonderful
ride-a ride that made her feel that with
each succeeding mile she was leaving
farther and farther behind her every care
she had ever had in the world. 1t was
ride straight into the heart of green.
country backing sleepily beneath blue
skies; of contented people going about
their pleasant tasks; of snug, fat farms
and snug little houses, with glimpses of
an occasional chateau in the background.
When Monte held out his hand to assist
her down, she laughed light-heartedly, re-
freshed in body and soul. For Monte had
been himself ever since they started-bet-
ter than himself. He had humored her
every mood, allowing her to talk when
she had felt like talking, or to sit back
with her eyes half closed when she wished
to give herself up to lazy content. Often,
too, he had made her laugh with his alb
surd remarks-laugh spontaneously, as a
child laughs. She had never seen him in
such good humor, and could not remem-
Der when she herself had been in such
good humor.
The rays of the sun were falling aslant
as she stepped out, and the western sky
was aglow with crimson and purple and
pink. 1t was drowsy world, with sounds
grown distant and the perfume and color
of the flowers grown nearer. At the door
of the inn, which looked as if it must have
been standing right there in the days Of
dashing cavaliers the proprietor and his
wife were obsequiously bowling a well
come. 1t was not often that the big ma
chimes degned to rest here
Monte stepped toward them.
MADAME desires to rest here for the
night, if accommodations may be Sc
cured, he said.
For the night? Mon Dieu! The pro-
prietor had reckoned upon only tenn
porary sojourn-for bottle of wine, per-
haps. He had never entertained such a
host as this. How many rooms would be
required?
-Four answered Monte.
"Let me see; monsieur and madame
could be~put in the front ROOM"
Monte shook his head.
MADAME will occupy the front room
alone, he informed him.
"Eh? Oh, understands; sister. That
was a curious mistake. Eth bien, madame
in the front room. Monsieur in the room
to the right. The maid in the room on the
back. But there is the chauffeur"
There was no room left for him, or for
the machine either
"Then he can go on to Joigny,' an
nounced Monte
So Louis went on, and in less than five .
minutes the others were safely sorted out
and tucked away in their respective rooms
"We ought to get out and see the sun
set,' Monte called to Marjory as she
waved him an adieu at her door.

nodded

toners were of this type.
There were, however, several little
things that Monte still wished to pur-
chase-an automobile coat and cap, for
one thing; also some rugs. These he
found in nearby store. 1t was as he
was leaving that the clerk-who, it seems,
must have had an eye-noticed the shiny
new gold ring upon Monte's left hand.
MADAME is well supplied?' he in
quired.
MADAME? Who the devil is madame?'
demanded Monte.
Pardon, m sieur, replied the clerk in
some confusion, fearing he had made
grave mistake. a did not know m sieur
was travelling alone"
Then it was Monte's turn to show signs
of confusion. 1t was quite true he was
not travelling alone. 1t was the truest
thing he knew just then.
"What is necessary for lady travelling
by MOTOR" he inquired.
The clerk would take great pleasure in
showing him in department devoted to
that very end. 1t was after one bewil-
dering glance about the counters that he
became of the opinion that his question
should have been: what is it that lady
does not wear when travelling by motor?
He saw coats and bonnets and goggles
and yanity-boxes and gloves, to mention
only few of those things he took in at
first glance.
ave are leaving in some haste" ex-
planned Monte, $50 I'm afraid she has
none of these things. Wouldn't the
easiest way be for you to give me one of
each?"
That indeed would be pleasure. Did
m'sieur know the correct size?
Only in a general way. Madame was not
quite his height and weighed in the neigh
borhood of one hundred and fifty pounds.
That was enough to go upon for outside
garments Still there remained wide
choice of style and color. In this Monte
pleased himself, pointing with his stick
with sure judgment at what took his
fancy, as this and the other thing was
placed before him. 1t was a decidedly
novel and very pleasant occupation
IN this way he spent the best part of
another hour, and made payment in
American Express orders of consider
able sum. That, however, involved no.
thing but tearing from the book he always
carried as many orders for twenty-five
dollars as most nearly Appropriated the
sum total. The articles were to be deliv-
cred within one hour to MADAME M.
Covington, Hotel Normandie.
Monte left the store with a sense of
satisfaction, tempered trife by an I'M
comfortable doubt as to just how this
presumption on his part would be re-
ceived. However, he was we'll within his
rights. He held sturdily to that
With still two hours before he could
return, - for he must leave her free
until luncheon,-he went on to the
Champs Elysees and so to the Bots. He
still dwelt with pleasure upon the oppor-
tunity that had been offered him to buy
those few things for her. 1t sent him
along briskly with a smile on his face 1t
did more; it suggested new idea The
reason he had been taking himself so seri-
ously was that he had been thinking too
much about himself and not enough about
her. The simple way out of that difficulty
was from now on not to consider himself
at all. After all, what happened to him
did not much matter, as long as it did not
affect her. His job from now on was to
