short time ago I think it was
soon after she came back from Nor
folk-and she was looking very tired
and miresable. Now she is her old
self again. Perhaps" she concluded,
leaning little toward him and drop
ping her voice, "she may have heard
whispers about that Metzger Noun

Their hostess was on her feet.

said, addressing Matresser's neighbor,
"but His Majesty arrives early"
Sir Francis beckoned to Matresser
who glass in hand, obeyed the sum-
mons. He found himself next to the
Premier who was in a pensive mood.
81 hope to have an opportunity,
Lord Matresser, for a conversation
with you before long," he observed.
Gwen here one cannot, of course, dis
cuss certain subject freely but I
should like you to understand that
your part in the proceedings at GER
tain rendezvous in Germany has been
reported to me and meets with my
very warm approval"
"My share in the work has been
trifling, sir" Matresser insisted.
"There," said the Premier, 81 can
not agree with you. You have done
much. You may be called on to do
more. We cannot yet see the out
come. However, we must face the
music. England as usual is going to
be the first country to strip herself
of wealth and possessions and throw
them into the melting pot. We have
done it before and failed. We talked
disarmament and everyone shouted
hurrah, and we were the. only nation
who disarmed, and when the air was
full of rumors Of war we were the
one nation in danger. This time we
go further still. We have risked, not
aggression from the foreigners, but
we have risked the contempt and dis
approval of our own people. We have
to take risks, Lord Matresser. I
think I can truthfully say that we

in the world, you will feel more con-
versational. By-the-by, you know
very we'll, I believe, a dear friend of
my daughters one of the most at
tractive young women I have ever
met-the Baroness Stamier?"
Even Matresser failed to conceal
his quick interest.
"The Baroness is a young lady of
great CHARM" he admitted. "She stay
ed with us for some time at Norfolk
and my mother and sister were very
grieved when she left US. She was
to return, I believe, to Vienna"
"She probably did not go because
she is back in London now. I saw
her only yesterday afternoon. I al
ways hoped that she would settle
down in England but I fear she will
never do that. heard only this morn
ing that she was likely to marry her
cousin, Prince Johann Won Hapsburg.
He is the only one of the family who
seems to have preserved his lands and
money"
"It would seem to be fitting

Baroness-she dropped the title while
she was with us-is intensely patriot

ed, "that I believe it is perfectly true
that she was once arrested and very
nearly sent to a fortress as a spy"
"By the Russians ?" he asked.
"No-by the Germans. She was
desperately against one of those mad
schemes for the annexation of Aus
tria by Germany. You must get her
to tell you about it some day. She
always declared that politics were now
too sad to discuss, but today things
are so different. She herself seems
to have taken a new lease on life.
I always thought her one of the most
beautiful women in Europe. Today
she seems to have added happiness
to all her other charms.

many adventures concerning which
you never open your mouth"
"Where did you hear such strange
things about me?" he asked without
the glimmer Of smile.
"From my husband among Others
she replied. "There seems to be an
idea among some people that you have
been playing the part of civilized
Lawrence, only your happy hunting
grounds have been more the capitals
of Europe rather than the wild coun-
tries"
Lawrence" Matresser said thought
fully, "was one of the genuine explor-
ers of the world. He had that extra
ordinary facility with languages
which seems to come only to men who
have lived on the borders of civiliza-
ton. The best linguist I ever came
across" he reflected after a momen-
tary pause, twas Polish baker who
had small establishment in Warsaw.
Not much romance to be squeezed out
of him-or me either for that natter
"Of course, I don't mean that sort
of thing at ALL" he lady declared a
little pettishly.
With polite bow, Matresser turn
ed to his hostess whose attention was
for the moment disengaged and it was
not until the end of dinner that the
Warehouses found opportunity to re-
proach him.
"You KNOW" she complained. "I
was looking forward so much to talk
ing with you and I think you are a
most disappointing man."
II am so sorry" he apologized,
"but can assure you that am quite
out of my element. This is the Sec
ond dinner party of it's sort I have
ever attended in my life"
II find you all the more intriguing
for your reticence," she confided with
a very pleasant smile. "Perhaps some
