turned from flesh color to soft

grimly az the bunch of violets,
which already had lost their fresh

remained.

whispered angrily. But he could
not turn his head to look at
Abelard. AS il in cumulative
shock or pent.up emotion, Esta-
brook felt himself drowned in
wave upon wave of sensation.
For an instant he became aware
of the crowd about him,
crowd of eager people, lost to
themselves for an hour, soaring
to mystical heights upon the
sweetness of one woman's voice,
the rich power of one woman's
personality. Then again the song

A perspiring woman approached
them, damp hair clinging to her

wailing child to her bosom while
the other extended a tray of fresh
and sweet violets.

the woman whined. "Only two

His companion answered com.

Indeed, he said, he could not
imagine where the woman hired

one every few months for the past
five years.
The whining voice trailed ON
above the clamor of horns and

change and received a small
bouquet.

mood of unrest had stolen over
him. He seemed to reach out with
all his nature for something-he
knew not what--as one reaches
out to grasp the fading memory Of

He told himself that he was
growing older. Age and sobriety
had put him out of touch with
his surroundings. Paris was the

ner deplored the affair as an unfor.
tunate accident. Arrangements
were made to bury the American
in the nearest church yard. No
relatives had been found.
Estabrook, walking on the ter
race with Godfrey, said uncom-
fortably: There was someone he
wanted told. In Paris, / think.
But he only called Mimi, no other
name. Now, how in the devil is
one to know which of the 10000
Minis in Paris this may be?"

Godfrey Travers said, looking
out over the distant silver green
of the downs. 1.-THE coroner went

''Yes, go on" Estabrook said.
There were some things relat-

They discussed the matter, and
presently Abelard, joining them,
suggested that he and Estabrook
should fly over to Paris on the
morrow. 1t seemed unfair that
they should impose any longer
on the hospitality of Lord Travers.
Madame Janikoff, according to the
newspapers, was to give a concert
at ths Paris Opera House on the
following night. Boris knew

introduction, and they would take
the responsibility, he said, of
breaking the bad news to the
singer.
Godfrey seemed relieved. AL
though he protested that he loved
having them with him, it was
Obvious that the strain of the last
days had told on him. He, Esta-
brook, realized that. the best
policy, would be to leave them
alone.

YES" Estabrook said, with
queer smile, love Is all that

bless YOU"

she ate cold lamb and mint jelly.
And when Sally tried to comfort
her, she pushed her away and
flounced off to bed. refusing to
speak a single word.

Gus adventure and amorous recol'

passed beyond facile enjoyments;
all these things which should have
given him pleasure filled him with
infinite sadness, with a profound
sense Of loss and futility. He was
shamed that anything so simple
as a bunch of violets could send
him off on such q sentimental
train of thought.
''W-we're in luck, Jack. Here's

He waved his hand, and the
critic. with his red beard, his small
clever eyes and conceited manner,

see his American friends, engag-

Boris said he should dine with
them, but that they would be in
his debt forever If they could pro-
cure seats for Mimi Janikoff's
concert and an audience
afterwards.
My friends, that is like asking
for the sun and moon. But Il

her name has never been touched

looked at each other quickly:
their eyes expressed warnings Of

apparent indifference: "Oh. is she

Briquard laid one plump finger
on the bouquet of violets. ''There

head, his handsome young face

his arm he carried a pasteboard

Jauntily into the room.

went straight through to the
kitchen. Before Ted had time to
follow him he was back in the
living room again.
1.-THE folks are down stairs.

said to Sally. They're having a
time getting Mother out of the
car. Her foot's gone to sleep

a hand. But I thought Id bet

He vanished, and Ted went
down the back porch steps to his
own home, refusing Sally's invita-

There was a ahuffling on the
