door. But of II sudden she paused with
fingers resting nerveless upon half
drawn bolt, eyes wide with apprehen-
sion, and her face robbed of all that
gracious color with which sleep had
imbued it. For an instant she stood
so, in doubt and hesitation, listening :;
then, as If reassured, she drew the bolt
clear and opened the door.
This act disclosed two figures whit
Ing beyond the threshold--a luggage
laden steward and lady of abundant
person and post-mature years, in n
gown not three days out of the Rue de
Ia Paix.
"Tm sorry" the girl apologized,
standing aside. "I was quite sound
asleep, and couldn't seem to wake up"
But it is / who am sorry to have
disturbed you" With a nod and n
smile of acknowledgment, the speaker
sailed grandly into the stateroom, n
somewhat Overpowering Presence.
Submitting perforce to the necessity
of travelling without privacy, Miss Car
teret hadn't bargalned for the company
of dowager duchess; and this Pres
ence bodied forth every redoubtable
inch of that high estate. Her sixty
years were quick with the spirit of
forty. She wore her nose with the
high, patriclan bridge. A makeup of
most excellent discretion supplemented
charms by no means hopelessly passee.
An impeccable taste In dress achieved
n sobriety to suit her age. while escap-
ing gloom and stiffness. There were
evidences of "A vigorous temper, domi-
mated by lively appreciation of the
humorous, an invincible self-confidence,
a seasoned acquaintance with the
world, and n devastating curiosity-a
handsome figure, a personality to be
reckoned with.
By accent and mode of speech a
true American, this was no duchess un-
less through accident of matrimony.
But indubitably she was a dragon.
Miss Carteret was quick to endue
the lady with a mental nickname, "the
Dowager Dragon" term whose as
perity she modified by the admission
that, If dragOnish, she was most prob
ably a dear. Then she seemed con-
scious that she had been staring stead
fastly, and for time far too long, at
the subject of her reverle.
II beg your pardon" she murmured,
averting her eyes.

Dowager Dragon brusquely. "If you
apologize, I'll have to-Tve been star

dear-and never apologize" The con-

toys were called by various names,
such as thaumatrope, zoetrope, strobo-
