81 was not aware. Gertrude" he OBJ
served, that it was your custom to
receive your friends in your salon at
an hotel of this description"
Il do as 1 think we'll in such mat
ters," she answered calmly.
There was a moments hectic silence.
The Prince seemed about to speak,
but controlled himself with an effort.
You are probably fatigued with
travelling" she continued, "and would
prefer to dine here. In that case l
can keep my engagement with Mr..
Slattery"
"On the contrary, | shall beg you to
break it," the Prince declared en-
phatically. 1T is a popularity of
mine, but l do not permit my wife to
dine alone with any man so long as l
am within reach. l shall hope to have
another opportunity of cultivating Mr..
Slattery's acquaintance
Il will provide you with one glad
ly," Grant answered, without hesita-
ton.
Gertrude laid her hand upon his
arm.
Il do not allow my friends to quar-
rel with my husband" she said. Il
am very sorry, indeed, about our din
ner. Grant. When will you come and
see me?''
Whenever you choose, Gertrude
Tomorrow at o'clock. You will
take tea with me here. In the mean
time | cannot tell you how much l re-
gret our dinner"
Grant was suddenly conscious of the
ridiculous side of the situation. He
pulled himself together and turned to
the newcomer courteously.
Perhaps you, as well as your wife,
would do me the honor of dining" he
suggested. Dinner is ordered down
stairs. Half-an-hour's delay will be of
no consequence"
The Prince bowed coldly.
II thank you very much, sir he re-
piled, but tonight I shall prefer to
dine tete-a-tete with my wife. I have
affairs to attend to. We shall without
doubt meet again.
Grant dined alone in a distant cor
ner of the restaurant, somewhat to his
own satisfaction, but very much to
the disappointment of the maitre
d hotel to whom he had conf1ded his
orders. Just as he was finishing,
Gertrude and her husband entered the
room. The latter had changed his
clothes, but appeared to be in no bet
ter humor. He scowled at Grant and
ignored his wife, both when he ordered
the dinner and the wine. She leaned
back in her chair. tanning herself
1azily. Her eyes continually sought
Grants. On the way out he paused
for moment at their table. She made
a little grimace of apprehension, but
Grant only smiled.
You have made very greedy
man of me, Princess" he confessed.
Il have had to try and eat the dinner

Il wish you'd sent me my share
she said. II have not been consulted
about our own, anyway, and l seem
to have heard the name of every dish

Her husband spoke for the first
time.
THE marital feast clogs, I am
afraid" he sneered.
"I have no doubt but that you are
right" Grant assented, with a little
bow of farewell. I'm not married
myself, but one seems to discover
these things"
He passed out into the hall and
stood for a moment smiling to him

pulse. he opened one of the telephone
boxes and rang up the Villa Miranda.

brought May to her senses.
BY the time she had gathered to-

Carlotta's side.
