 She turned again toward the Frenchman
 ''Is 1t not so, Monsieur?"
 The American had strange, sul- len, puzzled expression. But Mon- sieur Jonquelle laughed.
 'Alas!' he said, "it is the disasters of my acquaintances with which l seem always to be concerned, and un- happily, their affairs are usually known to me"
 He bowed slightly to the American.
 If Monsieur will permit" he said, T shall be charmed to verify ma- dame's prediction. Monsieur has fol- lowed to inquire why the house in the Taubourg St. Germain in the old quarter of Paris, happened to burn down."
 The American moved, as in anger, abruptly in his chair
 Yes" he said, that is just pre- cisely what I wanted to know
 Monsieur Jonquelle rose. He took a cigarette case from his pocket. It was of, platinum exquisitely traced with complicated arabesque. He opened it and presented it to the woman in the chair. She declined.

one is not accustomed to find in q mere artist--an element of ruthless decision and of swift acts as of one accustomed to peril in his trade.
 The attitude of the man and the voice that had reached Monsieur Jon quelle at the turn of the path were unmlstakable in their menace But the woman did not move. Neither the sudden appearance Of the man, nor his words, nor his menacing ges- ture had in any respect disturbed her equanimity.
 The scene changed as at the snap of invisible fingers. And Monsieur Jon quelie came mp on the terrace. The man fell into the posture of one at ease before an interrupting visitor, and the woman looked up languidly as though undlsturbed; as though no human drama, however tragic, could disturb. her; as though she were for ever beyond the stimulus of any hu- man emotion.
 It was clear that the man had no

knowledge of Monsieur Jonquelle, but to the woman he was evidently a fa- miliar figure. His appearance must have been an immense surprise to her. as the appearance of the man beyond her had been, but there was no evidence of it in her voice.
 She did not rise. But she spoke softly.
 You do me conspicuous honor" she said. You will have been very much concerned about me to search me out here.'
 Then she presented the man beyond her.
 Martin Dillard.'' she said, 'an American-Monsieur Jonquelle."
 The Frenchman and also the American closely to. note any recog- milton of either the name or the ap- pearance of the new arrival. But there was none. He did not know either Monsieur Jonquelle < or his trade. N
 She touched a bell concealed some where in the arm of the chair. A maid appeared. An added direction brought two chairs. The American sat down where he was but Mon- sieur Jonquelle carried his chair a little beyond the woman to the edge of the terrace. He put down his hat, his stick, and his gloves.

 The woman smiled.

THE WOMAN ON THE TERRACE.

@ssss VO'AEhN CsN HIT. IEiNAtssIis.
 Monsieur Jonquelle. the Prefect of Police of Paris. was moment late.
 An angry voice reached him al the turn of the path. It was tense, low, mrnacing voice. The words were not clear. but the intent in the voice was unmistak able For a mere fraction of time he remained motionless and in some indecision: then he went for ward swiftly,
 It was evening. The soft colors of . sort of twilight day were on the Mediterranean. The many-colored city of Nice was lying below the mountain of olive trees and the tropi- cal gardens of the Villa of Cimiez The whole scene was from country of the fairy; the romantic frontier of some kingdom of wonder legend.
 There were two persons on the long terrace of the. villa when Mon- sieur Jonquelle approached. The villa was small and cxquisite--a sort of jewel-box hidden in garden of tropical luxuriance, inclosed by high wall surmounted by tile border.
 The villa was rose color. The tiles of the terrace and the border of the high wall were also rose-color. It Was dainty and sensuous bit of the world, as though raised by some en- chAntment out of the baked earth of Arabia.
 Monsieur Jonquelle interrupted tragic moment.
 A woman sat in chair midway of thts terrace. It was one of those beautiful invalid-chairs made for the oit-of-doors by that Italian genius which seeks always to add beauty to tho decorative aspect of a garden.
 The chair was white. The gown of the woman in 1t was blue, 1t looked black in the soft evening light and aEainst the rose-colored villa and the white chair.
 The woman did not move. Her small, shapely head, as from fatigue, rested against the high back of the chair. It was crowned with a great weight of hair, as yellow and as heavy n gold, built up into a wonderful coiffure that resembled in its vague ! outlines the helmet of Minerva. Her hsnds and her elbows lay on the arms Of the chair.
 Beside her, step beyond, the man who had arrived a moment before Monsieur Jonquelle stood in an atti- | tuk1e of menace. The visible person aEty of the man was puzzling. ' That ] h4 was an American one could in- stSntiy see But one could not so , eanily determine his status or his hdhits of life.
 He had some of the physical char ncteristics. some of the tricks of dress o4 one engaged h an artistic voca- 3ou: some of the swift accurate, pre- cies gestures of one skilled in the plastic arts. But there was . vtgor and determination about the man that

 Monastery JonQuelle returned with his
 cigarette to tho chair on the bordeg
 Of the terrace.
 VI Aiso.e he said. speaking as hc went about the lighting of the cigar cite. "as what madame has so cour- teously called an old acquaintance, am Interested to know why this house at the corner of the Rue de St. Pere on the Faubourg St. Germain has burned to the ground. f.,
 Tt will be necessary to make some explanation to the authorities of Paris. They will be curious about it. And as this old acquaintance of madame, it has seemed to me that ought to obtain and take some meas ures to present m explanation to the authorities in Paris" ,e
 He continued to speak, in the slow business of igniting the cigarette. There Is no question Of insurance, nor the right of any property,o owner In the matter. Monsieur Martin billiard owned this house by purchase some months ago. He carried no insurance on 1t. It was stored only with his own property and used only by himself with the charming assist ance Of madame"
 There was not even servant about. The doors entering the house were all fitted with special lock. a complicated American lock with two keys only, one for monsieur and the duplicate for madame. The windows were securely closed with heavy shutters.
 The house was wholly inaccessible to any but these two persons, and 1t was the exclusive property of mon- sieur. If 1t had not burned, we should not have been concerned about 1t. Mysterious romances of the heart do not provoke an inquiry in Paris
 Tt is the only capital of pleasure where the heart is free; but the city are concerned with fires When the flame emerges from the heart, Paris is dj' turbed, and when 1t reduces to asr 1s an ancient house on the Faubov-y St. Germain. some explanation nrst be given"
 He paused again. He had now gotten the cigarette lighted. And he sat down.
 Madame has correctly expressed 1t. am an old acquaintance, and am more than that; am an old ac- quaintance who is very much inter- ested to get madame's explanation be- fore the authorities in Paris as early as can manage 1t. Her flight after the fire seemed to be unwise. Even had very considerable difficulty to find her."
 The American spoke abruptly.
 You seem very much interested in Casque dor"
 CasQue d'Or.'" he said. The expression is extremely happy. Ma iame's golden head used to be the wonder of Paris when she came up with 1t like Minerva through the | 1uid floor of Paris. An. yes, am l ,ery interested, as an old, very old i lgain, more. perhaps. than, monsieur an imagine"
 The American spoke again abruptly.
 You seem to know all about CasQue d'Or.'"
 Again Monsieur Jonquelle drawled is answer.
 "Ah! yes." he said, from her gol- len head to the blue pigeon delicately outlined on her hand between the humb and the forennger-every de- all of madame has been of interest 0 me-has been, I may say. of anx- ety to me. And now am con- erned about the explanation for this Ire"
