SYNOPSIS Oh FEcCCuAlAS ShoPOSAS'
ITO increase the family fortune
and to aid her beloved but frank
\ " impecunious father in paying
of some OF his most pressing debts,
Theodore, the youngest and loveliest
daughter of Captain Fitzgerald, light
hearted, debohair Irish gentleman, al
lows herself to be forced into marrying
Josiah Brown, a middle-aged Austral-
ian millionaire. Theodora's family
ranks high in the Peerage, because her
mother, who died when she was a
baby, was no less than the daughter
Of an Earl, and her father is the
brother of a baronet; while Josiah
Brown is a plebian nobody who would
never have been tolerated in fashion
able society at all except for the fact
that he had plenty of money.
Her two step-sisters, Clementine and
Sarah, urged the father to make the
old bore" as they call him, settle
huge allowance on Theodore. This the
father did, and naturally took particu-
lar care at the same time to secure
neat little sum for himself on the side.
Before their honeymoon was over
the fll-assorted pair were returning to
England by way of Paris, where Josiah
Brown decided, on his physicians ad-
vice; to remain for a month in the
hope Of beneftting his health. He was
Just recovering from a three months
siege Of bronchitis, complicated with
catarrh, consequently the monotony Of
his semi-invalid regime left Theodore
very dull.
A fortuitous visit from her father
came as a most welcome diversion to
Theodore, who was allowed, as very
great favor by her husband, to 90 to
one Of Captain Fitzgerald's gay little
dinners at the Ritz. On this occasion
Theodore met quite a number Of inter-
esting people. Among others was
Mrs. Mcbride, rich American widow,
who is giving them another dinner
shortly, and to whom Captain FtZger-
aid is Just now assiduously devoting
himself; and Lord Hector Bracondale,
a charming and wealthy Englishman,
who Immediately conceives the warm
est admiration for the delicate, flower
like beauty Of Theodore.

he smiled quiet smile
Mrs. Fleetwood looked at Lord BracOn-
dale and laughed.

Naturally you have seen her all the time,
and know her probably. Are they cocottes,
or Americans, or Russian princesses. or
Wharf.-The whole collection?"
IF you mean that large party in the
corner, they are most of them friends and
acquaintance of mine," he said, rather
icily-she had annoyed him-"and they be-
long to the aristocracies Of various nations.
Does that satisfy you? l am afraid they
are none of them demimondaines, so you
will be disappointed this timei"
Mrs. Fleetwood looked at him; she I'M
derstoOd now.
HE is in love with the white woman"
she thought; that is why he was so
anxious to dine here tonight, when Jack
suggested Madrid; that is why he stays In
Paris.

been the youngest and snubbed always?
The same thought came to her that was
conjuring the brain Of Lord Bracondale:
would there be a chance to speak tonight,
or must they each go then way in silence?
He meant to assist fate if he could but
having Monica Fleetwood there was a
considerable drawback.
Mrs. McBride's party were to take their
coffee in one of the bosquets outside, and
all got up from their table in a few minutes
to go out. They would have to pass the
party Of three, who were nearer the door.
Monica would take her most searching
look at them, Lord Bracondale thought;
now was the time for action. So as Mrs.
Mcbride came past with Captain FitZ-
gerald, he rose from his seat and greeted
her.
you have been exceedingly mean" he
whispered. what are you going to do
for me to make up for it?"
The widow had a very soft spot in her
heart for This fine Bracondale," as she
called him, and when he pleaded like that
she found him hard to resist.

So with a heart full Of ungratined curl
osity, she at last allowed herself to be
packed into Hector's automobile and driven
away.
@0f course he'll go and Join that other
party now, Jackl What did you make me

said to her husband.
"He has done me many a turn In the
past" said Jack, laconically.
