THE WOMAN ON THE TERRACE

have burned it or you would not have
run away and lid yourself-now,
what's the story?"
The woman had bit of delicate
lace OH her fingers. She put it up
q moment to her lips. Then she
spoke, addressing her two guests
Her voice was slow, serene, and de-
tached, like one who speaks without
interest, without emotion, and with
out any concern for effect. 1t was
like a voice from a mechanical appli-
ance, having intelligence, but no will
to feel.
Il have been attached to Monsieur
Dillard," she said. There was a
fortune before us, an immense, in
credible fortune. The anticipation Of
it bound ME to him, and so the burn
ing Of this house must have been an
accident. The lure OF a fortune is
the only influence that does not
loosen as one advances into life, in a
world where presently every emotion
rails Therefore Monsieur billiard
had a llgnt to feel tn he cor d trust
me, since my interest in this fortune
was identical with his own"
She paused, and seemed to address
Monsieur Jonquelle directly.
You will be concerned, monsieur,
about the mystery Of this fortune.
1t was no dream, and depended upon
no uncertain hazard OF chance. Mon
sieU billiard is an artisan artist
with genius for turning art to a
practical use. There have been great
er artists than Monsieur billiard in
production, but not in methods by
practical purpose; that is to say can
be made to produce a fortune. 1t is
the lifework of Monsieur billiard not
to produce art, but to bring The
artistic skill of the masters of art
to his practical purposes. And, in
this department, he has no superior
in any country. The house in the
Faubourg st. German was in fact
storeroom. 1t was, at the time Of
its destruction by fire, literally
packed with masterpieces beautiful
works of art of an Incredible value"
She did not move the position of
her body in the chair. But she again
vaguely touched her lips with the
handkerchief in her fingers, a bit of
filmy lace.
Monsieur" she said, "there have
been in the world three men who are
supreme in what is perhaps the high
est Of all artistic production. I shall
name them to you; Monsieur Whist
Ter, the American; Monsieur HelIeu
OF Paris, and Wagenhaim of Munich.
She moved a trifle in the chair
Then she went on.

some arrangements for the removal
of the treasure that the unfortunate
fire occurred that wiped out our for
tune in an hour, leaving monsieur
penniiess and myself with but the
ruin Of another illusion. And it
happened, monsieur, in the simplest
fashion"
There was absolute silence on the
terrace before the villa. The vaguely
blue sea seemed to underlie a world
of amethyst. Heavy odors were in
the air. A little beyond the terrace
the leaves of a Towering vine moved
where the footmen of the Princess
Kitzenzof searched as noiselessly as
ghots for the lost parrot. The sha-
dowy figures of the two footmen
were outlined to the woman in the
chair, and perhaps to Monsieur jon
quelle, but they were not visible to
the American.
He sat like a tense figure in some
organic medium, grim, rigid; always
in that immobility which seemed to
await the next word before it flashed
into violent life; as though
madame's words were the delicate
implement of a vivisectionist NOV
ing about nerve which it never
touched, but which it constantly
| menaced.
1T was the simplest accident" the
woman repeated in her placid voice
! The original etchings of an i'm
mortal like one of the three which
have already named are priceless
they cannot be replaced.
Out of the fear that the house
might be entered, after the repro
ductions had been made, these orig
inals were placed under some rub
bish in the base of the house.
This basement had not been en-.
! tered for long time. and wher
those originals were concealed there
care was taken not to disturb the
appearance which this room pre-.
sented Of not having been opened

The misfortune of producing a
masterpiece in oil or in water-color
is that one copy only of this master
piece exists, and if by any misfor-
tune it is destroyed, every adequate
evidence of its beauty has disappear
ed forever. This is the unfortunate
feature attached to the work of all
the great masters.
But it is a misfortune that does
not attend the etchings of Monsieur
Whistler, Monsieur Helleu, and Herr
Wagenheim. The beautiful face of
the lovely Americans preserved by
the etchings Of Monsieur Hellieu can
be reproduced in any number. That
beauty does not depend upon the
jeopardy of a single picture"
her voice seemed to advance, but
not with the stimulus of any emo
ton.
1T is not commonly known" she
said, that an extreme skill is re-
quired to obtain in the prints all the
beauties of these etching. The prints
are commnly made by persons hav-
ing only the usual workman's skill.
But it was always realized by the
masters of this art that the extreme
and delicate beauties Of their etch-
ing could be produced only by an
adequate skill, by a skill almost
equal to their own, in~the printing
of the picture. This skill consti-
tutes the peculiar genius of Mon
sieur Dillard-a skill which he has
striven to perfect, and which he
has finally brought to the highest
excellence.
He labored in the house in the
Faubourg St. German for long
time and with an incredible patience,
until he became the superior of any
man living, and the house, as | have
said, was literally packed with the
| most beautiful and most valuable re-
productions Of this character in the
world. The accumulated treasure
represented the incredible fortune
which was before Monsieur DilarC
and myself.

gone to Bordeaux in order to max,

Bepin Here Today.

The strange woman in the invalid
chair had been talking angrily with
her companion when NJ ,Jonquelle,
greatest of French detectives, enter
ed the beautiful Italian terrace.
The woman introduced her COM
panion as Martin billiard, an Ameri-
can.
The American greeted the caller
ungraciously.
Jonquelle explained that he had
come to inquire why the house in
Paris, owned by billiard and to
which the woman had key, burned
to the ground.
Go on With the Story.
CHAPTER II
The American broke in. His voice
was no longer restrained.
Il don't see what you've got to
do with it," he said.
Monsieur Jonquelle did not at once
reply. lie looked at his cigaret as
though it were somehow unsatisfac-
tory; puffer it a moment until the
lip glowed; then he tossed II over
the edge of the terrace into the
bushes.
Almost Immediately the bushes
parted and two persons came up onto
The terrace. They were footmen in
Z rather conspicuous foreign livery
They paid no attention to either Nor
sieur Jonquelle or the American.
They addressed themselves with
Apologize diffidence to the woman
IN the chair.
They explained that a parrot be-
longing to the Princess KitzenZof,
who occupied the great villa above,
had escaped and was concealed some
where in the thick shrubbery Of
lnadame's garden. Would they be
permitted to search for it? The
woman in the chair moved her head
slowly in assent. Then she dis
missed them with a gesture. They
went down off the terrace and to-
ward the rear of the villa in their
search, and the woman in the chair
addressed the American.
You must believe" she said, chat
Monsieur Jonquelle is an old ac-
ouaintance and that this explanation
is not to be denied him. Neither are
you to be denied it. You came here
for it precisely as he has come
for it.
You have followed me here, trail
ing out my flight, as he has followed.
The two Of you arrived nearly on the
moment, and shall be pleased to in
clude the two of you in my explana-
ton. You were demanding it as Mon
sleur Jonquelle arrived-with some
heat, if ! correctly remember"
The American replied in his abrupt
manner:
i don't understand this thing" he
said But l do want to know how
this house happened to burn while I
was absent. You are the only person
who had a key 20 i, and you must

"On the night Of the disaster, be-
fore leaving the house, went into

originals stored there remained as
we had placed them. 1t was late,

FOUR BUILDINGS
TO Be FINISHED
Board Of Administration
Authorizes Definite Pro
gram For 1922.

Bismarck, N. D., June 5.-The state
board Of Administration. altar much
consideration, has dectded>on a build
ing program that calls for the com-
'pletion this ear of the law school at
the university, building at agricultural
college, normal building at the nor-
NAL at Dickinson and dormitory 1T in-
stitution for feeble minded at Graf
ton. u
The. board has virtually decided to
have plans drawn and probably to
consQlete only the foundation or, first
floor of the gymnaaium authorized for
n normal at .Minot and dormitory
at the deaf school at Devils Lake.
Lack of finances and desire to ecqn-
omize both are understood to have
i~nfluerced the board with, respect to
the latter three buildings.
Definite decision to make arrange
ments with a competent architect to
draw plans for a building authorized
at the normal at Minot was reached
at a decision of the board. 1t was
stated that if any contract is let it
probably will be for the foundation
only. /.
The board approved the location
recommended by Morrel and Nichols,
Landscape architects,- for, the law
building at the University of North
line with the chemistry building. APP
proval of location has kept contrac-
tors from going ahead with the build
Ing and it was expected by the board
that work on the law building would
be started Immediately.

cited the plans of q certain group to
slaughter butcher and cure the meat
from the. approximately 5000, 900 sur
plus horses inethe United States. Ths
article declared French objections to
allowing anything but live horses to
be shipped into that country had been

proving shipments of cured meat II
approved by United States inspectors.
1T was stated 500. 900 had been ap-
5p~ropriated to provide such inspectors.
W have 200, 900 surplus horses
right but here in western North Da-

chased at about glue factory values,
and we have the plant. at Fargo to
