THE THIRD PARTY

but whom, to tell the truth, she didn't know
very we'll. They piled up in general delivery
box at the postofice, where she couldn't ven
ture to go often, her mother being nearly al
ways with her. Finally, M. de Breuil risked
a call. Nine. de Marconne was present at the
interview. The visitor much taken aback.
Therese found q means of writing to him, to
tell him he must wait, she couldn't say just
how long. But he took that as adieu. For
that matter he didn't like complications.
Life ran along without frictions or painful
discussions. Husband and wife were both on
their guard, neither wishing to show anything
but evenness of temper before third party.
Moreover, Nine. de Marconne showed extraor-
dnars address in discovering soothing yet
agreeable topics of conversation. She also sug
gested visits to the theater the cabarets.
The household gradually resumed the habits of
ordinary samily life.
So Nine. de Marconne gave the lie to the
wisdom of old song, not yet forgotten.
Things went better when third party was
present Emilen was observant enough to ap
preciate this. In one Of the rare moments
when he was alone he happened to sing:
"linis qudnd on est trois.
Quand on est trois.
NamseW Theyese.'
But he didn't sing it in the melancholy tone
required by tradition. He had become once
more calmly and comfortably happy. I sup
pose it was gratitude which led him to express
his happiness more to his mother-in-law than
to his wife. Nine. de Marconne disdained to

Louie saved up enough money to get ship OF

he bought her, and one day the keel dropped

ed in the United States Navy. He had never
seen a sub chaser, but with characteristic
American initiative--on the part Of somebody
in Washington--his frst navy job was to take
a chaser from one port Of the Atlantic coast
where she had been built--to another port.
Somebody's armchair initiative in Washington
did not bother Louie. They could have hand

Nine. de Marconne herself wasn't pleased
by the contrast. She thought that the air of
Paris wasn't good for young women from the
provinces. But perhaps this unanticipated ar
rival meant good news. She smiled.
"You came to tell me that everything is
patched up, didn't you, Therese? You aren't
going to get divorce? You a Marconne and
a divorcee! 1t wasn't possible. 1 knew it.

Nine. de Marconne reflected minute or two.
Who will say why her eyes frightened again
and why she stole glance at herself in the
mirror?

said. "You go back soon as you like.

When Nine. Mouvenot told her husband that
his mother-in-aw had consented to live with
them, he said at once
"Ah! So much the better!"
He was about to add: "She is charming"
But guessing that his wife would answer,
you prefer her to me; you comparing me
with her. he prudently restrained himself. He
didn't enjoy domestic scenes. Nevertheless,
his wife was curiousy impressed by the little
he did say and almost stared him out of coun

Nine de Marconne established herself in the
household without any formality. She never
mentioned the divorce But the next afternoon

Louie went to sea in the chaser. He crossed
the Atlantic a couple of times and then fate
picked him up and set him down in the Carib-
bean as captain of one of the four units Of
the Haytian fleet. To-day Louie is the "Ad-
mral" and Independence is his flagship and
she shakes the meanest mast in the Caribbean,
while the twelve "sons of apes" who are her
crew also shake the fastest navy legs there

Loue's creed is discipline. "If you amt got

tears. "There isn't vacant apartment in

indispensable to the divorce process" she
added, reddening little.

fail to identify this little n:nety-nne-to -tonner

American skipper, who is normally lieuten-
ant in the Haytian gendarmerie, signifies the
independence of Hayti. She is perhaps more
American than Haytian.

was designed by d. J. Lawler and built at the
Providence drydocks in 1892. Originally
steam yacht, she was owned by Pliny Fisk
millionaire banker, who sold her in 1907 tc
George R. Sheldon, Wall Street broker. She
became the favorite payship of another New
York millionaire, Irving T. Bush, creator and
president of the Bush Terminal Company, in
1912, and two years later headed up the At
lantic coast to become the property Of Gordon
Dexter of Boston.

st. Catherine called the faithful to high mass.
She had gone to low mass and on leaving the
church had stopped at the confectioner's to
order some sugared cookies and at the florists
to buy an armful of roses which she was car
rying home. That is why it was already 10
o'clock. Florentine, her femme de chambre
ran out to meet her, trembling with excite
ment.

"Mlle. Therese!" exclaimed Nine de Mar

"Mme. Mouvenot,' Florentine corrected her
self. "Madame's daughter I mean. She ar
rived from Paris on the morning train"
You could see by her air that she was
municating great piece of news--something
absolutely unexpected.
"Therese?" said Mime. de Marconne, without
showing the least sign of satisfaction at the
information. "Therese; what in the world is
she up to now?"
Nevertheless, she went in and greeted her
daughter. They kissed each other affection
ately.
"How young you are, mother!" said Therese.

her daughter, who was twenty. But she over

feet. There wasn't trace of powder on her

Therese made no answer and seemed de-
pressed. She was somewhat colder thereafter
to her mother, but not to Emilien. A few days
later the latter remarked:

The Nauy Has TWo Mdsts
And Four Sails

The flag dipping incident might have seemed
trivial except that it constituted solemn
greeting from one of the worlds greatest
navies to the most unique and perhaps small
est navy in the world. The American Navy,
as represented, was a sleek little gray rat Of
a sub chaser, in big hurry for some
place and making little fuss about it. The
other was LIndependance, all four sails bel
lied out in the brisk wind, and with certain
birdlike majesty about her she was repre-
sentng, as usual, the whole Haytian Navy.
The personnel of the Haytian Navy in
cludes fourteen persons, twelve of them as
black as the we'll known ace of spades and two
as white as tropical sun will let their Amer
lean skins remain. The "AdmiraP' of the
Haytian feet is Louie" Valliere of Plymouth,
Mass, whose twenty-siX years, less nine which
he required to grow up, have given him
knowledge of his particular job unsurpassed,
at least in Haytian waters. The "Vice-Ad
miral'' of the fleet is Charles H. Eurton, of
indianapolis, who despite his saltless birth
place began to know a Delaying pin from
rolling pin in his teens while cruising in
many seas with the cold" American Navy.
The remainder of the human element in the
