Madame de Santos helplessly asked.

Marie Thiery lifted her head and

But it is too quick. And how can l tell?
Tell him he must wait"-,she hesitated.
But perhaps such haste is a custom of
his country, part of his navy code?" she
suggested-and was there a trace of yield
ing in her voice?
She paused-dimpled bit, roguishly.
How does. he know have not already

Nine de Santos translated. And at the
look of despair that dropped with exceed
ing rapidity over Commander Beecher's
face, the singer grew contrite, almost
panic-stricken.
"Oh, no, no, MOI" she cried. "Tell him
mol am not!"
Nine. de Santos did; Commander Beech

She hesitated. knew, as did Nine. de
Santos, that she was lost. And Lieutenant
Commander Beecher was equally sure
that he had won. The star Of the Opera
Comique spoke rapidly to her companion.
But she says it requires thirty days to
marry in France. There must be the
license and the bans and the civil mar
riage and the religious. And Monday you
will be gone"
But not without her." the wooer
avowed. Tell her l will sweep away

their way up the pier to the Cohasset!

kindly.

Nine. de Santos gasped Mile. Thiery
turned wondering eyes upon her.
What is it that he says?" she asked.

But he asks you to marry him! He

Hand clippings and "bravas" greeted
her. 'Voila, La Belle Thiery!" cried Off
GERS who knew their Paris. A dark, fash
ing figure she was-graciously curved, yet
of birdlike lightness.
"Who is she?" breathed the commander
of the Cohasset to the lieutenant on his
right. The American lieutenant asked
French officer on his right.
"An idol of Paris! The lovely Thiery,
of the Opera Comique. More, she has
been appointed an officer of public instruc-
ton. She has been three times cited by
the Government for distinguished service.
She has sung the Marseillaise three thou
sand times. Her voice has sent regiments
singing into battle to victory or to death"
But tonight Mile Marie Thiery did not
sing the national hymn Of her country.
Before her were sea-Weary, battle-tired
men, who needed not inspiration but cheer
ing. She swept the audience with her
dark eyes, deep in which soft fires glowed.
She whispered to the accompanist at the
piano
She raised her head, thrust out her
piquant chin. She smiled with her eyes
and with her parted lips and burst into a
bar Of laughing notes-la-la-la-la!" A line
Of them-two lines-three. It was the

She turned the page and sang the next,

She turned another page. Her eyes
laughed. The rapid notes seemed to
crowd upon each other in a stream Of
hilarious melody.
"La-la-la-la!" Her laughter was infec.
tious, yet melodious as the eXulting song
of the nightingale.
Observation-Disclosures"
Every man in the crowded room was
laughing with her. Beside her high mel
ody rumbled a gay but discordant obligato
as a train on the next track of tenor and
baritone. The aria ended in a prolonged
note. 1t was followed by a surging wave
of applause.
Encore! Encore!" cried her admirers.
She came forward and laughed it again
to the greater delight Of her uniformed
audience
And as she sang a spark that had ap-
peared in Lieutenant-C Commander Beecher's
heart at her first note, grew into a very
coniagration.
She flashed of the stage as quickly as
she had come. A backward, coquettish
smile, one that seemed to be of farewell
sent the terror of finality into one heart.
The commander Of the Cohasset rose
from the bench as though shot from it.
Il must meet her! Don't let her co."
His voice rang forth in the same tone of

p LIEUTENANT COMMANDER ERWIN
SECKETT BARNES BEECHER, of
- the q. S. S. Cohasset, heard Nile.
Marie Thiery, prima donna of the Opera
COmique, sing on Thursday.
On Friday he proposed.
On Saturday che accepted.
On Sunday they were married.
And all the French Lieutenant Comman-
der Beecher could command was the menu
variety, and as for Mile Marie Thiery, all
the English she could muster was
Pleased to meet you. Goodbye"
From these few preliminary facts it viii
be guessed how extraordinarily unique
must be the romance Of Mile. Thiery and
Lieutenant-C Commander Beecher.
What's that you say? They took three
whole days to meet, WOO and win, and that
record has been beaten. All, yes. Men
and maids have met in the morning and
been wed by dusk-but what usually was
their position in the social fabric? Here
the lover is no caIlow fledgling no emotion
al sailor, stirred by the touch Of land after
q long voyage, no youthful gilded son of
wealth shining hectically on Broadway. He
is thirty-six; he has been in the service
for eleven years; he won his lieutenant
commandership by ability and strength Of
purpose and character; furthermore, he is
a Beecher, own cousin of the famous
Henry Ward.
And Mile. Thiery is no fighty damsel
Of the chorus taking on matrimony impet-
uously and carelessly-she was the lead
ing prima donna of the Paris Opera
Comique, State institution which though
devoted to light music has all the dignity
that the Metropolitan Opera has in Amer
ica-and where it is just as hard to win
entrance. Furthermore she is a sister of
a distinguished French Senator.
Not at all the kind of people for whirE
wind mating you must admit.
And, at any rate, how could tongue-;ied
love speak its heart? How could Lieu
tenant Commander Beecher and Mile.
Thiery hurdle in three days over the hand
leaps raised by the fact that when they
talked to each other neither knew what
the other was saying, and meet after
seventy-two hours, each fully understand
ing the other, in the very centre Of the
matrimonial ring?
Quite right, little lady with the brown
hair over there-love does have language
all fits own!
And also Old Plautus said some centu-
ries ago, Non laudandus est, quod credit
English, 81 don't commend the man who
rather trusts his ears than his eyes,"
Well-read how il was done.
1t was a Thursday morning at ST. NaZ-
aire The ship Cohasset was sailing into
port, Commander Beecher on the bridge
An hour later he strobe ashore. Often he
placed his finger against the visor of his
cap, returning the salutes of officers and
men OF the camp, ancient male civilians,
old women and nice little demoiselles.
The commander was well known at St
Nazaire and well liked. He had brought
his ship into port seven times. At each
visit the good will toward him had in
creased. He had flashing quickness Of
thought and speech that made the French
feel at home with him" The pretty girls
Of the village coquetted with him with
their eyes.
That evening the pretty girls, the men
of the Cohasset and an audience of soldiers
and marines saw the commander take a
front seat at the concert: saw him chat
