INJURED. "But remember that your fu

Two women, one of whom Is II deserv

the means of gratifying her expensive
tastes"
MY children" said Louise rising
I'VE must remember that we are going
to the Palace. 1t Is quite time we
started"
They made their way down two
flights of narrow stairs into the street
The eommlssionnaire raised his whis-
tie TO his lips, but Louise stopped him.
I'VE will walk" she suggested. "Thls
way, Mr.. Strangewey
They passed down the long, narrow
street with its dngy foreign cafes and
shops, scarcely one of which seemed TO
be English. The people who thronged
the pavement were Of new race TO
John, swarthy, little furtive, n class
Of foreigner seldom seen except in
allen lands. Men and women In all
stages Of dishabille were leaning out
of the windows or standing on the door
steps. The girls whom they met occa-
slonally--young women of all ages,
walking arm in arm, with shawls on
their heads in place of hats-laughed
openly in Johns face.
"COnquests everywhere he goes |"
Louise sighed. 1--WE shall never keep
him, SOphy"
1--WE have him for this evening, at
any rate" Sophy replied contentedly;
"and he hasn't spent all his fortune
yet. l am not at all sure that shall
not hint at supper when we come out
of the Palace"
"a pity he fell into bad hands so
quickly" Louise laughed. "Here we
are Stalls, please, Mr.. Millionaire. l
wouldn't be seen tonight In the seats
of the mighty"
John risked a reprOof, however, and
was fortunate enough to find disen-
gagged box. They devoted their atten-
tiOn to the show. Louise and Sophy at
first with only moderate amount of
interest, John with the real enthusiasm
of one to whom everything is new. His
laughter was so hearty, his appreca-
ton so sincere, that his companions

cided firmly, 81 refuse to have anything |
to do with. You have had all the en-
tertainment you are going to have this
evening, Mr.. COuntryman."
"Now for supper, then" he proposed.
'Luigl's," Sophy declared firmly.
"The only place in London"
They drove toward the Strand. John
looked around him with interest as
they entered the restaurant. Luigi, |
who came forward to welcome SOphy, |
escorted them to one of the best tables.
"YOu must be very nice to this gen.
Eleman, Luigi" she said. "He is a very |
great friend Of mine, just arrived in
London. He has come up on purpose |
% see me, and we shall probably de-
tide to make this our favOrite restau-
ant"
81 shall be vairy happy" Luigi de-
dared, with bow.

axes herself too seriously"
II wonder if l do!" Louise muir
lured, as she helped herself to caviar.
She was suddenly pensive. Her eyes
eemed to be looking out of the res :

es with little party of friends at ,
