with typhoid. left line or two for the
vice-president and some notes for friends,
Won K6nigstein, among others,-and l
beat it to Geneva next morning. Little
Mary got well eventually, as you see; but
it was touch-and-go, and never thought
of Austria or anybody in it for two
months. At the end of that time the
doctor ordered the women back to Amer

night I arrived, the first person saw
was Eliane Won Andrassy at the table
next to mine. She was sitting opposite
Won K0nigstein.
Happy? Say, she was radiant. With
it all, she watched every movement of
his, just the way dog watches his mas
ter's-a sort of dumb admiration, with
little suggestion of fear back of it.
Hump or no hump, he looked like
prince just come into his kingdom. His
face had the tiniest bit of cruelty in it
as if he might have to kill off few re-
bellious subjects-eXcept when he looked
at her. His eyes were soft then as we'll
as comquering; but the "please-don t-hit-

hurry, began asking no end of questions
about Mary and Ethel and little Mary

But his face lowered suddenly, and he
said, in the same language:
"You have reason indeed, my adored.

jealousy, heinz
Her eyes filed with tears, and she
looked more like the faithful dog than

She excused herself from us early in
the evening, and we went to the lift door
with her. Won K6nigstein kissed her
hand and bowed over it, and everybody
wished everybody else good night and

a sort of a plunge:
