CHAPTER XI.

The reception rooms Of Seyre House,
by some people considered the finest in
London, were crowded that night by q
brilliant and cosmopolitan assembly.
For some time John stood by the
princes side and was introduced to
more people than he had ever met be-
fore in his life. Presently, however,
he was discovered by his friend Amer
ton.
s"Queer thing your being here, q
friend Of the prince and all that I" the
young man remarked. "Where's Miss
Sophy this EVENING""
II haven't seen her." John replied. II
don't believe she Is invited"
like to be introduced to some Of
the girls, or shall we 60 and have a
drink2"
John was hesitating when he felt q
hand upon his shoulder. The princes
voice sounded in his ear.
"Strangewey." he said, II am privi-
legged to present you to Nine. Aida
Calavera. Madame, this is my friend
Of whom spoke to you"
John turned away from the little
group Of girls and young men toward
whom Amerton had been leading him.
The woman was different from any
thing he had imagined, from anything
he had ever seen. In the ballet
writhing, sensucus figure with every
gesture note In the octave Of pas
sion, here she seemed the very per-
sonification of a negative and striking
immobility. She was slender, not 80
tall as she had seemed upon the stage,
dressed in white from head to foot.
Her face was almost marblelike in its
pallor, her smooth, black hair was
drawn tightly over her ears, and her
eyes were Of the deepest shade Of blue.
She raised her hand, as he bowed, with
a gesture almost royal In its condescen-
sion. The prince, with quiet tact,
bridged over the moment during which
John struggled in vain for something
to Ay.
sMr. Strangewey," he remarked,
paid his first visit to Covent Garden
tonight. He has seen his first ballet,
a. we moderns understand the term.
I cannot help envying him that delight
He naturally finds It difficult to realize
this additional good fortune. VIM you

Ths prince departed to welcome
The Dolores star., 1917-11-30

In his life John entered the famous
opera house. The prince, preceded by
an attendant, led the way to q box
upon the second tier. A woman turned
her head as they entered and stretched
out her hand, which the prince raised
to his lips.
"You see. I have taken you at your
word. Eugene" she remarked.
you give me double pleasure, dear
lady" the prince declared. "Not only
is it Joy to be your host, but you give
me also the opportunity Of presenting
to you my friend, John Strangewey.
Strangewey. this Is my very distant
relative and very dear friend, Lady
Hilda Mulloch."
Lady Hllda smiled graciously Mt
John. She was apparently Of little
less than middle age, with dark bands
of chestnut hair surmounted by tiara.
Her face was the face of a clever and
still beautiful woman; her figure slen-
der and dignified; her voice low and
delightful.
.Are you paying your nightly hom-
age to Calavera, Mr.. Strangewey, or
are. you only an occasional visitorr
she asked.
'4This is my first visit Of any sort
to Covent Garden" John told her.
She looked at him with as much sur
prise rs good breeding permitted. John.
who had not as yet sat down, seemed
almost preternaturally tall In that
small box, with Its low ceiling. He
was looking around the house with the
enthusiasm of a boy. Lady Hilda
glanced away from him toward the
prince. and smiled; then she looked
back at John. There was something
like admiration in he face.
'sDo you live abroadf" she asked.
John shook his head.
II live in Cumberland" he said.
.Many people here seem to think that
that il the same thing. Ny brother
and ! have farm there"
"But you visit London occasionally,
surelyf"
II have not been in London" John
told her. "since passed through it on
my way home from Oxford, eight years
ago."

traordinary in my lifel" the woman de-
clared frankly. els 1t the prince who

II will come with pleasure" John
promised.
They stood for few moments In the
crowded vestibule until Lady Hilda
Mulloch's car was called. The prince
stood back, allowing John to escort her
to the door. She detained him for q
moment after she had taken her seat,
and leaned out Of the window, her I'm
gers still in his hand.
"Be carefull" she whispered. 'The

Washington, June 20 The Inter-
state Commerce Commission today de-
MED the plan of the railroads Of the
United States for q horizontal Of ff-
teen per cent in freight rates.
In its decision the commission in
dictated its willingness to increase
class rates in the eastern. district APP
proximately ID per cent. Since about
one-fourth of the freight handled is
moved under class rates, the decision
virtually allows the eastern lines
about four per cent increase in gross
freight revenue. Increases sought in
rates on coal, coke and iron ore will
be granted. ~
The commission found, as the result
of extended hearings, that the carriers
generally show substantial and in
creasing financial prosperity and that
they have ample resources with which
to conduct transportation.
Little sympathy was given the ar
guments of the roads that they were
victims of war prices, the commission
holding that the carriers have proflted
by the mobilization oftroops.
The commission suspended the pro-
posed tariffs until October 2S, but it
is understood that no rehearing of the
case will be of value at this time, and
suggested cancellation Of the tariffs.
The commission finds that the
gloomy forecasts Of jeopardized in
comes, seen by railroad officials early
in 1917 have not been borne out by
the figures available for later months.
The proceedings were brought in
March, when the returns from Febru-
airy were Just being made. February
was one of the worst months in, rail-
road history The subsequent months
have shown increasing revenues, while
expenses, in many cases, failed to
mount to the extent the carriers Of
ficials feared.
The decision points out that the car
riers' comparisons have been made
largely with those of 1916, which was
the banner year in railroad earnings
and adds that the 1917 income might
be considerably diminished without
necessary indicating a danger point in
earnings.
