THEIR MARRIED LIFE"

II think we're taking an awful
chance" said Warren.
"Oh, but DEAR" demonstrated
Helen. you know how we'll Mrs.
Stevens recommended the place"
"Yes. but what they like and what
we like are two entirely different
matters" Warren returned perverse-
ly.
Helen wanted to ask him why he
hadn't complained before they star
ted, instead of waiting until they
were actually on the train, to make
theings unpleasant, but she kept sill
ent and looked steadily out of the
window.
HAS she ever been there herself?"
Warren asked, throwing down his
paper.
mo, but she has a friend who
has a cottage there. Remember,
Warren, l suggested the place to
you, and you decided to try it. If
you don't like it after we get there,
don't blame me for it."
Don't worry you're not going to
be blamed" And Warren turned
back to the perusal of his paper.
They were on their way to spend
a week at the shore and had de-
cided on a place they had never
heard of. Warren had made up his
mind to leave town very quickly,
and, once haveing made it up, he was
eager to get off. Consequently, al
most befores he knew 1t, Helen
found herself on the train, accom-
modations arranged for at the hotel,
and everything promising a good
rest, for that was what they
wanted.
With Winifred off her hands in
the mountains with friends, Helen
felt that she could really enjoy a
vacation. She really cared very
little about the place itself, If it
only pleased Warren, but she knew
that If 1t did not come up to his eX-
pectations she would not have a
minutes peace, particularly as she
had mentioned the idea first.
1t was with great deal of trepi-
dation that she took her seat in the
numbering stage that was too take
them to the hotel after they arrived
at the little station. But as she
glimpsed the hotel itself, a large,
ungainly place lying along the
shore, its gables and wide porches
family reminiscent of an English
Inn, she drew a breath of relief.
Surely they ought to be comfortable
here.
A good natured porter took them
to room with a window facing the
sea. Helen exclaimed delightedly,
and even Warren grunted approx
ingly.
Huh" he remarked, this looks
promising"
why, it's lovely, dear" Helen
enthused. Just the kind of a place
we've always been hunting for. The
people all look so nice and friendly
and I am sure Wen have a fine
time"
Yes, that's it. Warren said turn
ing suddenly from the window. 1--WE
come down here for a rest and the
first thing you do is to talk about

CHAPTER XIV.
All L lost


And that word of challenge I
made no answer, but I raised my
head and looked into his eyes with a
dignity that came to me as my right
from suffering. So regarding each
other we stood for q very short min
ute. in which the Capitaine the Count
de Lasselles raised his head from his
kisses of salutation upon my hands.
And, mon enfant, is this the good
uncle, to whose care you came into
America ?" asked that Capitaine the
Count de I.asselles as he reached out
his imprisoned hands for greeting
to my relative.
I did not make any answer to that
question. My head raised itself yet
higher, and I looked my Gouverneur
Faulkner full in the face while
waited to hear what he would an
swer of my kinship to him.
"Sir, 1 am the friend of General
Carruthers, and I am also the gov
ernor of the state of Harpeth. have
come across the mountains to talk
with you about the business of this
contract for mules for your army,
and I have brought your young
friend to assist me If I should need
translating from or. to YOU. We
Americans captain, are poor hand
lers of any language not our own,
and the matter is OF much gravity
And as the GOuverneur Faulkner
spoke those words to my Capitaine
the Count de Lasselles. with a great
courtesy, but also a great sternness,
in which he named me, not as his
friend, butSas the friend of that Cap
itaine the Count de Lasselles, I knew
that was placed by him among all
women liars of the world and that to
him his boy Robert of honor was OF
a truth dead forever.
1T is indeed of such a gravity
that I have come from the English
Canada to make all clear to myself"
answered my beloved Capitaine the
Count de Lasselles as he drew him
self to his entire height, which was
well nigh as great as that of the
gouverneur of the state of Harpeth.
And 1 have ridden a day and a
night, sir, for the Same purpose" an
swered my great Gouverneur Faulk-
ner, with that beautiful courtesy of
business I have always observed him
to use in the transaction of his affairs
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-08-23

how lovely the people are. If you're
going to speak to a mob of cackl-
inv women every time we go out
side "a fine kind of time we'll have
and fine rest"
20, Warren, I simply remarked
that they looked nice. It's far more
pleasant to have 'congenial people
about than to have them otherwise.
Don't you think so?"
Helen was trying her hardest to
keep peace. She knew that Warren
was tired out. He hadn't had a va
cation in two years, not one that
could be called in any sense a rest,
and she wanted this one to do him
ever so much good. If only she
could get him safely through this
first evening without any unpleas-
ant occurances things would prob
ably go on all right for the rest of
their stay.
ton and the food was excellent.
Even the service was unusually
good, and afterward they walked
for time on the boardwalk before
going to bed.
WELL" conceded Warren mag
unanimously when they were finally
ready for bed, I'll agree with you.
that this is some place. Now, II the
beds are comfortable, and I can
sleep, ought to have the time of
my life here"
Helen, with happy sigh, dropped
her head wearily on the pillow at
last and was almost asleep when
she heard Warren exclaim.
What is it dear?"
What is it? Don't you hear 1t?
The baby crying in the next room.
OF course, it's just my luck to have
room next to an infant. 1 won't
be able 70 sleep a wink"
A faint wall came from the enxt
room, a fretting little cry, unmis-
takeably that of a very small child.
Helen, who was not generally ner-
vous about sleping, might have
dropped to sleep without letting it
annoy her, but Warren had not been
sleeping well of late, and any little
thing served to keep him restless.
Helen turned on her pillow to
listen. She hoped that it would
stop, but instead, the wall became
louder.
This is too much" said Warren,
jumping out of bed and overturning
| the rocking chair as he did. II
downstairs, If that's going to keep
up"
Don't talk so loud, dear, they'll
hear you"
IT don't care If they do. Women
ought to have more sense than to
bring a child as young as that into
a summer hotel. I'm going to have
our room changed tomorrow, 1 can
tell you that, and If they can't give
me one where 1 can. sleep, We'll pack
up and go back to the city,"
Helen sighed wearily. Just when
she had thought her mission acom-
plisheds and that Warren had de-
cided to like the place, a little thing
like this came up to spoil her plans
and make things altogether miser-
able.
(Watch for the next installment of
this highly entertaining story.)

in his office at the capitol of the state
of Harpeth. And as one of us must
make a beginning will you not tell
meS captain. why you are here and
in this predicament?"
''In few words I will make all
clear to you, your eXcellency" made
answer my Capitaine the Count de
Lasselles, with an air of courtesy
equal to that of the Gouverneur
Faulkner. 81 sent down into your
state of Harpeth one of my commits
sion, to whom l gave the direction
that with lack of annoying pub
licity he should investigate the pre-
paredness of the state of Harpeth to
deliver those 5000 mules to the re-
publique of France as was being pro-
posed. Behold, a report that all is
we'll comes to me but-ah, it is with
sorrow and shame that such a thing
could be done by son of poor
France who struggles for life!-
among the sheets of that report
were left by mistake the fragments
of a draft of a letter to an American
woman which made a partial dis
closure of an Intended falseness of
that statement to me. Immediately
came alone to interview that false
officer, and / find him gone from
that small town not far from here
into your capital. was seeking rap
idly to ride alone by directions into
your capital city to prevent that he
make a signature. which 1 had given
to him the authority to write, to
those papers of so great an import
ance. I was thus arrested by that
man of great wildness, whose patois
I could not understand, as he could
not comprehend the English make
use of, and you see me thus. / beg
of you to tell me If that wicked
signature has been made?"
1.-The papers have not been signed,
thank God. captain, and your very
impatient lieutenant Is being shown
some southern hospitality by the
flower and chivalry of old Harpeth.
And I beg your pardon for allowing
you to be a prisoner a minute longer
than necessary" was the answer
made to him by my Gouverneur
Faulkner. Unite the captain, Jim.
He's all right. And you can bring us
a little of your mountain dew while
I clear this table here to use for the
papers of our business" And still
my Gouverneur Faulkner did not
speak or look at me, and in my
heart I then knew that he never
would.
II Will make all ready, salu as

beast full of powder and several
pipes with tobacco from the table
of rough boards that stood under the
wind for light.
"Ah, that is a good release! Thank
you that you did not make tight
enough for abrasions your cords, my
good man." said my Capitaine the
Count de Lasselles as he stretched
out his arms and then bent to make
rubbing of his ankle upon which
had been the chain.

my most beautiful Lady Roberta,

come to my rescue?" he questioned.
"I lost you. mon enfant, in that
great New York"
MY beloved capitaine, how is it
that find you thus?" I exclaimed as
I went to within his reach and allow
ed that he take my two hands in his
poor shackled ones and put warm
kisses of greeting upon them.
And it was while 1 was shedding
tears of pity for the imprisonment
of that great man of France in that
mountain hut in America as he kiss
ed my hands that raised my eyes to
encounter a cold lightning as of a
flash on steel from under the black
brows of my Gouverneur Faulkner
of the state of Harpeth. that again
froze the blood in my heart.
A"You?" he asked of me in n voice
that was of the same coldness and
sharpness as that of steel, and his
beautiful mouth was set into one
straight line as he flung into my face
that one word.

Beatrice Fairfax Says

her, but every time / get ready to
ask her If I may take her to church

fear she may refuse to accept my
offer, and If she tell me mo" / am
sure that when / would again pass
her on the street 1 wouldn't be able
to face her; my heart would be
broken. Yet, do not want to lose
her friendship, as I think too much
of her. Kindly advise me in what
manner I am to ask to become her
escort.

she thinks a great deal of me, yet
with all that / cannot get my nerve
