more closely. and exclaimed:
"Why, It's Jinjur-isn't it,

ply, as Jinjur dropped low curtsy'
And Dor othy looked wonderinsly at this
lively appearing person, who had once
assembled an army Of women ana
driven the Scarecrow from the throne
of the Emerald City, and even fought a
vattle with the powerful army OF
Glinda the Sorceress.
'T've married man who owns nine

to lead quiet life and mind my own

"Where is your husband?" asked
Ozma.
"He is in the house nursing black
eye," replied Jinjur, calmly. "The fooi-
ish man would insist upon milking the
led COW when wanted him to milk the
white one; but he will know better next
time, am sure"
Then the party moved on again. ana
after crossing q broad river on ferry
and passing many fine farmhouses that
ere dome-shaped and painted a pretty
green color, they came In sight OF
large building that was covered with
flags ami bunting.
IT don't remember that building said
Dorothy what is IT."

And now they came in sight of the

were several bands and many ofhcers

of citizens in their holiday attire.

Thus the beautiful Ozna was escorted

Suddenly he gave start. Nine.
Desaulniers was coming toward him.
She was even more beautiful than her
photograph. Tall, fine and slender, she
resembled Diana, with Diana's cold
and naughty face. Prefontaine was so
affected that he couldn't speak to her
at once. And Nine. Desaulniers passed
by him. looked at him with indifference
and continued her walk. Not for a Sec

fontaine, under his breath. II am too

Tears Of despair came to the elderly
authors eyes. The young woman
walked to the end of the terrace and
leaned on the low wall, as If awaiting
somebody. She watched the rude and
lofty sierra. and, down there in the dis
lance. Madrid sparkling in the sun.
M. de Prefontaine, with bent head,
left the promenade. There was moth
ing to do but 60. His hour had struck.
Life was no longer anything for him
but blur. He didn't want to witness
the shock which Nine. Desaulniers
would experience If she recognized
him. So far as he was concerned,
everything was over.
For the last time Guy de Prefontaine
turned around. He saw young Diana,
proud and pensive, her figure detach-
ing itself against the still Frightening
sky. He filled his eyes with that fugi
tive vision. Then he fled

The Latest Rendezvous

en- in his fortieth year, in which he still
looked handsome and vigorous, with
his thick hair, his strong features and
his imposing mustachios. Moreover, a
celebrated author, who writes Of love,
possess eternal youth.
\ X X X
So 1t was that at the solicitation Of
Nine. Desaulniers, after two years Of
correspondence. Guy de Prefontaine, an
cient pilgrim of love. had set out for
Spain. To tell the truth, he feared a
little at first meeting with this young
woman. Didn't she have far too f1c-
titious idea Of him? But he found
some consoling arguments. He had
grown old without noticing it. He flat
tered himself that Nine. Desaulniers
wouldn't notice it, either.
The rendezvous was for o'clock
At hadlf-past 8 he started for the
place of rendezvous. 1t was a fair
day and still warm, although in the
second week Of October. The severe
palace of Philip II stood before the
traveller, in it's tragic solitude At the
end of the terrace Prefontaine entered
the garden where Nine. Desaulniers
was to join him.
He paced slowly UP and down the
narrow walk bordered by stifiy trim
med box bushes. His spirits were de-
pressed by the Shadow Of the high
walls. yellowish gray, with little win
dows which make one think of a con-
vent or gigantic mausoleum. If he
turned to the right he saw a reser-
voir, cold and bare. He began to
SILVER.
1T is plain that she is young" he
reflected. What place for rem
dezvous!"
In spite of himself he thought of
death. That idea, which formerly gave
spice to his amorous emotions, now
produced marked uneasiness and a
profound discourag cement. Notwith-
standing, he kept on walking, his heart
beating, his hands either icy-cold or
burning, as impatient and anxious as
in the days of his youth.
Two young girls passed, dark and
handsome. but with oily compilations.
They looked at Prefontaine. With a
smile one of them said to the other:
Who is that old gentleman"
HE is Frenchman," the other an
swered laughing. you can see that
he is waiting for woman"
The phrases cut him to the heart
An old gentleman! Was that the i'm
preston he produced? At Paris people
knew him, treated him as a man still
young. all accepting and fiattering his
idiosyncrasy. ,,l ...
