CHAPTER Z
Bernards Idesr


A FTER Mr. Salteena had de-
"A parted Bernard Clark
\ thought he would show
Ethel over his house so they
spent merry morning so
doing, Ethel passed bright re-
marks on all the rooms and Ber-
nard, thourght she was most pretty
and Ethel began to be a bit excit-
ed. After lovely lunch they sat
in the gloomy hall and Ethel be-
gan to feel very glad Mr. Salteena
was not there. Suddenly Bernard
lit his pipe | was thinking he said
passionately what about going up
to London for weeks Gaierty.
Who inquired Ethel in a low
tone.
You and me said Bernard / know
of several splendid hotels and we
could go to theaters and parties
and enjoy ourselves to the full.
So we could what an idear cried
Ethel.
So the merry plan was all ar
ranged and they spent the after
noon in packing their trunks. Next
day they were all ready in the hall
when the handsome viacle once
more clattered up. Ethel had on
her blue velvit get up and a sweet
new hat and plenty of ruge on her
face and looked quite seemly
counterpart for Bernard who was
arrayed in a white and shiny
macintosh top boots and a well
brushed tor hat tied on to him
with a bit of black elastik.
Well goodbye Minnit he cried to
the somber butler take care Of your
gout and the silver and ! will pay
your wages when come back.
Thank you kindly sir murmured
Minnet when may / expect your
return.
Oh well / will wire he said and
dashed down the steps.
Ethel followed him with small
lady like steps having bowed per-
litely to Minnit who closed his
eyes in acknowledgment of her
kindness.
The sun was shining and Ethel
had the feeling of going to very
jolly party and felt SO sorry for all
the passers by who were not going
to London with Bernard.
Arrived in the gay city Bernard
hailed a cab to the manner born
and got in followed by Ethel.
Kindly drive us to the Gaierty Ho-
tel he cried in a firm tone. The
.cabman waved his whip and off
they dashed.
We shall be highly comfortable
and select at the Gaierty said
Bernard and he thought to him
self how lovely it would be if he
was married to Ethel. He blush
ed a deep shade at his own
thoughts and gave side long
glance at Ethel who was gazing
out of the window. Well one never
knos he murmerd to himself and
as one of the poets says great
events from trivil causes springs.
Just then they stopped at the
gay hotel and Ethel was SPELL
bound at the size of the big hall
Bernard poked his head into the
window of the pay desk. Have
you a couple of bedrooms for
self and young lady he enquired
in a lordly way ,
A very handsome lady with gol-
den hair and lace apron glanced
at book and hastily replied Oh
The Washington times., 1921-02-20

With plesure my darling said
Bernard will just pack up our
viands ere | unloose the boat.
Ethel felt better after q few
drops of champagne and began TO
tidy her hair while Bernard pack
ed the remains Of the food. Then
arm in arm they tottered TO the
boat.
trust you have not got an i'll
ness my darling murmued Ber-
nard as he helped her in.
Oh no / am very strong said
Ethel tainted from JOY she 7ided
to explain matters.
Oh see said Bernard handing

ments. Edward Procurio was
walking up and down the passage
looking dark and mysterious as
usual.
Is His Lordship at home cried
Bernard Clark cheerily.
Which one asked Procurio many
lords live here he said scornfully.
Well / mean the Earl o: Cline
ham said Bernard.
Oh yes he is in responded Pro-
curio and to the best of my belief
giving party. -
Indeed CALCULATED Bernard we
have come in the mick of time
Ethel he added. Yes said Ethel
in an excited tone.
Then they pealed on the bell
and the door flew open. Sounds Of
laughter and comic songs issued
from the abode and in a second
they were in the crowded drawing
room. 1t was packed with all the
Elite and a stout duchess with a
good natured face was singing a
lively song and causing much
merriment. The earl strode for
ward at sight Of two new corners.
Hullo Bernard old boy he cried this
is a pleasure and who have you
got with you he added glancing at
Ethel.
, Oh this is Miss Monticue said
Bernard shall | introduce you-
If you will be so good said the
Earl in an affable tone and Ber-
nard hastily performed the right.
Ethel began bright conversation
while Bernard stroled off to see if
he could find any friends amid the
throng.
What pleasant compartments
you have cried Ethel in rarther a
socierty tone.
Fairly so so responded the
Earl do you live in London he
added in a loud tone as someone
was playing a very difficult piece
on the piano.
Well no / don't said Ethel my
home is really in Northumberland
but / am at present stopping with
Mr.. Clark at the Gaierty Hotel
she continued in a somewhat show
ing off tone.
Oh | see said the earl we'll shall
| introduce you to a few of my
friends.
Oh please do said Ethel with a
dainty blow at her nose.
The earl disappeared into the
maddening crowd and presently
came back with a middle aged
gentleman. This is Lord Hyssops
he said my friend Miss Monticue
he added genially.
Ethel turned dull ysllaw. Lord
Hyssops she said in a faint voice
why it is Mr.. Salteena | know him
we'll.
Hush cried the Earl it is a title
bestowed recently by. my friend
the Prince of Wales.
Yes indeed murmured Mr.. Sal
teena deeply flabbergasted bv the
ready wit of the earl.
Oh indeed said Ethel in noov-
ish tone well how do you come to
be here. w
am stopping with his Lordsb;n
said Mr. Salteena and have a set of
compartments in the basement so
there. ~

Doubtless it is charming said
Mr. Salteena who was wanting

in an annoying voice am stoon;ng

the same it is very kind of you
to ask me and she smiled more
nicely at him.
This is agony cried Mr.. Salteena
clutching hold of table my life
will be sour grapes and ashes with
out you.
Be a man said Ethel in gentle
whisper and | shall always think
of you in a warm manner.
Well half a loaf is better than
no bread responded Mr. Salteena
in a gloomy voice and just then the
earl reappeared with a very brisk
lady in a tight silk dress whose
name was called Lady Gay Finch
ling and her husband was Cen
eral but had been dead few
years. So this is Miss Monticue
she began in a rarther high voice.
Oh yes said Ethel and Mr. Salteena
wiped the foaming dew from his
forehead. Little did Lady Gay
Finchling guess she had just dis
turbed proposal of marriage.
The Earl chimed into the con-
versation now and aoain and Lady
Gay Finchling told several rarther
witty stories to enliven the party.
Then Bernard Clark came up and
said they had better be going.
Well goodbye Clincham he said
/ must say / have enjoyed this
party most rechauffie l call it
don't you Ethel.
Most cried Ethel suppose you
often come she added in a tone of
envy to Lady Gay Finchling.
Pretty often said Lady G. F. well
goodbye as | see you are in hurry
to be off and she dashel off to-
wards the refreshment place.
Goodbye Ethel said poor Mr.
Salteena in a spasm and he seized

There is a background of rushes

apparently holding out toward her a
