smile, the little gesture with which she
raised her hand-something about her
unlocked the tloodgates.
Market ketton had seemed well
enough few minutes ago. John had
felt healthy appetite for his midday
meal. and certain interest concerning
a deal in barley upon which he was
about to engage. And now another
world had him in Its grip. He flicked
the mare with his whip, turned away
from the inn, and galloped up to the
station, keeping pace with the train
whose whistle he had heard. Standing
outside was n local horse dealer of his
acquaintance.
"Take the mare back for me to Peak
Hall, will you, Jenkins, or send one of
your lads?" he begged. II want to
catch this train"
The man assented with pleasure-it
paid to do kindness for Strange
wey. John passed through the ticket
Office to the platform, where the train
was waiting. threw open the door of
carriage, and flung himself into Il
corner seat. The whistle sounded. The
adventure of his life had begun at last.

"You aren't letting your thought:
dwell upon that woman?"
'.I have thought about her some
times" John answered. almost defirnt
ly. "What's the harm? I'm still here
am I not?"
Stephen crossed the room. From the
drawer Of the old mahogany sideboard
he produced an Illustrated paper. He
turned back the frontispiece fiercely
and held 1t up.

1--WE seen it already"
Stephen threw the paper upon the
table.
-She's going to act In another of
those confounded French plays" he
said; ''translations with all the wit
taken out and all the vulgarity left
iu."
1--WE knew nothing of her art" John
declared coldly. ave shouldn't under
stand 1t, even if we saw her act. There
fore it isn't right for US to judge her.
The world has found her great ac-
tress. She is not responsible for the
plays she acts in"
Stephen turned away and lit his
pipe anew. He smoked for n minute or
two furiously. His thick eyebrows
seemed to be turning some thought
over in his mind.
-John." he asked, ais 1t this cursed
money that is making you restless?''
II never think of 1t except when
someone comes begging. I promised q
thousand pounds to the infrmary to-
day.
Then what's wrong with you?"
John stretched himself out, a splen-
did figure of healthy manhood. His
cheeks were sun.tanned, his eyes clear
and bright.
THE matter? There's nothing on
earth the matter with me-" he de-
clared.
1T isn't your health I mean. There
are other things. as you well know.

your pleasure, and you go through both

God grant it! I've had an unwel-
come visitor in your absence"
John turned swiftly around.
"A visitor?" he repeated. "Who was
It?"
Stephen glowered at him for a mo-
ment.
''It was the prince" he said; "the
prince of Seyre, as he calls himself

The great French dramatist, dark.
pale-faced and corpulent. stood upon
the extreme edge of the stage, bran
dishing his manuscript in his hand. He
banged the palm of his left hand with
the rolled-up manuscript and looked at
them all furiously.

gallantly, (which almost reconciles me
to this diabolical travesty of some OF
my lines. Proceed, then-proceedI

The stage manager shouted out some
directions from his box. A gentleman
in faultless morning clothes, wht
seemed to have been thoroughly enjoy
ing the interlude, suddenly adopted tn,

quaintances of all sorts and condi-
tions. More than one young woman
from the shop windows or the pave
ments ventured to smile at him. and
the few greetings he received from the
wives and daughters Of his neighbors
were as gracious us they could possibly
be made. John almost smiled once, In
the act of raising his hat, as he real
lied how completely the whole charm
OF the world. for him, seemed to lie In
one woman's eyes.
At the crossways, where he should
have turned to the inn. he paused while

He handed her out, followed her
across the pavement, and found him
self plunged into what seemed to him
to be an absolute vortex of human be-
ings, all dressed In very much the
same fashion, all laughing and talking
together very much In the same note,
all criticizing every fresh group Of ar
rivals with very much the same eyes
and manner. The palm court was
crowded with little parties seated at
the various round tables, partakinx
languidly Of the most indolent meal OF
the day. Even the broad passassway
was full Of men and women, standing
about and talking Or looking for tables.
