Rue SOIeu Dor,

Marlotte, the butler, in dry
clothes, had served luncheon ST

man, calm in his fury at the in
credible outrage perpetrated upon
his person.
And now luncheon was over; the
Princess at the telephone in her
boudoir; Rue in the mushroom
with Neeland. still excited. anxious,
confused.
Astonishment, Modification. an
ger, had left Neeland silent; and
the convention known as luncheon
had not appealed to him.
But very little was said during
that formaIity; and in the silence
the serious nature, OF the episode
which so suddenly had deprived the
Princess OF the olive-wood box and
the papers it contained impressed
Neeland more and more deeply.
The utter unexpectedness OF the
outrage-the helpless figure he had
cut-infuriated him. And the more
he reflected the madden he grew
when he realizde that all he had
gone through meant nothing now
that every effort had been sterile.
every hour wasted, every step he
had taken from BrookholIow to
Paris-to the very doorstep where
his duty ended-had been taken
in vain
1t seemed to him in his anger
and humiliation that never had any
man been so derided. so heartless-
~ Knocked by the gods.
And now, as he sat there, behind
lowered blinds in the
light Of the MUSHROOM, he could
feel the hot blood OF resentment
and chagrin in his cheeks.

A soon as Puss Junior and Tom
"A Thumb had knocked upon
\ the front door of the pretty
little cottage it was opened by a
little yellow hen, who bowed and
invited them in. BY the light Of the
big open fire Puss Junior could see
a little old man sitting at the far
Their end of the room. He was eat
ing his supper. but on hearing the
door open asked in a thick, cracked
voice, 'TWho is it?''
"PQss in Boots, Junior and Tom
Thumb, Esq" replied our two small
travellers. And then the little hen
led them over to the table and said:
grandfather, you see before you
two famous characters"
"Sit down, my friends, and sup
with me-" said the little old man,
and as this was just what Puss
and Tom most desired at that mo-
ment they did as they were bid, and
presently they were enjoying a
most delicious meal. Pretty soon the
little old man said:

She goes to the mill to fetch me

A Connected Young Man.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am in love with a young man

sometimes by his looks and his manner
toward me- always find him staring.
y. y.
wonder II you do not give this
young man cause to stare at you,
as you appear to have him so
acutely on your mind. You COM
plain that he is conceited. and at
the same time you would like to
know him Would you really en-
Joy meeting a conceited young man?
The only way to become introduced
to young man properly is to have
some one acquainted with both

He rema4ned standing when she
went, upstairs. He was tempted TO
laugh at the position in which he
found himself. He glanced down
ruefuIly at his weH-ftting clothes
and at his new hat. He remembered
how he had seen chauffeurs and
cabmen twist their hats about in
their hands. He would follow their
example when talking TO the young
lady of the house He must watch
his speech and show the Difference
proper from hireling to the daugh-
ter Of his employer.
A football on the broad stairs
made him glance up. Miss Leighton
was descending.
She came down lightly, but not
rapidly, and he had time, to take in
details Of her appearance before she
met his. gaze.
He saw 4het she was slender
and graceful. that she had the
dark coloring and delicate fea-
lures inherited. he supposed, from
her French mother. He recollected
in that instant that his aunt had
told him that her own French for
bears came from the part of
France from which Desiree's moth

his own French blood, was fair.

girl did not look like Samuel
Leighton.
Rather Embarrassed.
These thoughts flashed through
his mind even while he was noting
the dainty violet-colored negligee
Of silk and lace. caught at throat
and waist by tiny knots Of artificial
vioIets.
AS she saw the man waiting for
her, Desiree' came forward in a
business-like way. Then, looking
full at him. she hesitated.
"Oh-there must be some mis-
take-I mean understood my
maid to say that the new chaut-

SUGGESTIONS

A rusty CRATE can be cleaned with
little trouble II it be blackleaded
and left for twenty-four hours, or
even for a couple OF days. The
blacklead will absorb the rust, and
the steel can then be polished in the
ordinary way.
