"And why the deuce should I do
that?" the prince asked, trif1e paler,
but entirely self-possessed
ITO oblige me-" John replied.
The prince wiped his eyeglass care
fully upon his handkerchief.
"Ir. Strangewey, you are a very
amiable young man," he said equally,
''to whom I have tried to show some
kindness for Miss Maurel's sake. I
really do not see, however-pardon my
putting it plainly-what business this
is of yours
1T is my business" John declared,
"because I have asked Miss Maurel to
be my wife, and because I am hoping
that some day, before very long, she
will consent"
The prince sat quite still in his chair,
his eyes fixed upon a certain spot in
the carpet. He had not even the ap-
pearance of being engaged in thought.
He seemed only stepped in sort of
passivity. Finally, with sigh, he rose
to his feet.

His lips relaxed ever so slightly-so
slightly that they showed only a
glimpse of his teeth in one straight,
hard line. He looked at John mildly,
and his words seemed destitute of all
offense; yet John felt the lightnings
were playing around them.

his way toward the writing table, "and

wrapped herself up and descended to
the street by his side.

steadily westward, scarcely speaking
more than a chance word. It was twi-
light when he brought the car to q

looked up.

replied, land it couldn't do any good.

The prince nodded slightly. His face
remained quite expressionless.

The prince inclined bis head gently.
He remained monosyllabic.
"Well?"
John frowned heavily.
"Cant you see," he went on bluntly,
"that if any one Of those men who
were present, and heard what was said
about your guest, found out afterward
that it was Miss Maurel who came to

He was a little startled by the earn

pale and fragile, her eyes larger and

tremulous. She was like child with

She lay, for moment, passive In
his arms. He smoothed her hair and
| kissed her tenderly. Then he led her
back to her place upon the couch.
Her emotional mood, while it flattA.,ed
him in sense, did nothing to quiet
| the little demons of unrest that pulled,

"What is this reception?' he asked.
She made a little srimace.
