 "What woman?" demanded Mar tin. Heavens above! What on earth are you getting at now. May?
 ''How do I know! l don't know who all of them are. They're all crazy about you. The little baron- ess or the actress or the countess how should I know? It's nothing but Q misfortune having to do with a man whom all the women run after. One can't be sure of ones own sister"
 But, May--on my solemn oath. after all. I've given you my word and when l give my word l keep It But do you imagine. by any that you are making things easier for mel"
 "There you go! So it's who make things difficult for you? I'm to blame for that as well. And yet l do whatever you ask"
 "Youre as stupid sometimes. May, as a child of six. To start with, I've got worries. And then 1'zN often driven half beside my self. l do nothing but think about yOu day and night. and you leave me to sizzle and simmer in boiling oil Often I'd like to see everything to blazes--"

 : 'Ail. You can never lose me. You have me for always"
 ! "A nice always. In 6 month you 70 to Berlin and leave me plant ed here. Then 1t will be nothing but a summer Irritation you had with a swimming instructor" said Martin, tormenting himself hor- ribly.
 2 "Oh, don't talk nonsense. You're coming to Berlin in September for your race. Perhaps before that you will have had your famous letter you're always talking about"

Or are you laughing at me?" \ well, you've never told me any fhing definite about it. So what Is there to believe in particularly? don't know in the least what its all about" {
