That’s why a new white hair appears in my worthy hus band's head every time one of your Parisian lady killers makes love to her. It’s all absurdly simple.” “Well,” laughed De Jolidon, “his hair needn’t turn whiter on my account I’ll be the one Frenchman who won’t make love to Mme. Sadowa.” “But you must.” “What?” “You must marry her, at any rate.” “Are you mad. Natalie, or is this”— "It Is no Joke, and I’m not mad. I’ve thought it all out.” The ambassador's wife glanced nerv ously about her. She and De Jolidon were ensconced In an alcove of the salon. It was the night of the embassy ball. Prom the adjoining ballroom came the strains of a waltz and the soft gliding of hundreds of dancing feet. Guests were passing and re- passing along the great hallway and broad stairs at the rear of the salon. But for the moment the two had the room to themselves. “Listen,” she said. “My hnsband sus pects nothing thus far, but be Is cer tain to in time unlees”— “Unless I divert his thoughts by mar rying some one else? I ean*t, and you knsw I can’t, for I”— “Yes, sir. But he was not at home there tonight.” “Odd. He’s usually very much at home there, I’m told. So you failed in 3'our mission? You couldn’t find him?” “Oh, yes, your excellency, I found him—that is to say, I”— “Oh, you found him at last? That’s better. Where?” “At Maxim’s, your”— "Maxim’s, eh?” snorted Ambassador PofK)ff scornfully. “Idling away bis time, as usual, when”— “Oh, no, your excellency, not ex actly ‘idling,’ if 1 may say so. He seemed very busy. There were a num ber of bottles and”— “Was he sober?” “Not distressingly so. your excel lency. In fact. If 1 may”— “Did you give him my message? Dkl you tell him?” “I gave It word for word, sir. I told him his country was calling for him and that your excellency desired his immediate presence at the embassy.” “Well, what was his answer?” “He said, *Give my country my re gards and tell it to go to’ ; “Where?” snapped Popoff ks Nish paused In embarrassment. \ “Pd—I’d rather not say, sir; Vp place I’m at all familiar with.” “Oh, the Ingrate,” walled /jPopoff, “the lagrate! Here be has Men em ployed at the embassy all these mouths. and I’ve winked at his loafing and his 1 dissipation, and the very first minute I really need him he refuses to come.” “Oh, no, your excellency, ’ pleaded j Nish; “scarcely as bad as all that, if 1 may say so—not ‘refused’ exactly. He will come. At least he promised to.” “Ah, that lifts a load from my brain j if he promised he'll come! Diplomat- j ieally speaking. Prince Danilo's word ! is as good as his bond.” “Diplomatically speaking, your excel lency,” allirmed Nish, “he agrees to | be here as soon as lie has finished the magnum of champagne that was in the h e pail beside him when I left.” “Dow much of It was gone?” “The cork was not yet drawn, but”— “Be on the lookout for him. Mr. Nish. When he comes put ice on his head if necessary. Sober him at any cost.” "I fancy it will he cheaper than fill ing him up. I’ll do my best, your ex cellency." But the ambassador at a whispered word from a servant had already pot tered out of the room as fast as his somewhat shaky old legs would carry him, and the voluble Nish ran along in his wake. A commotion swept through the scattered groups In the foyer—a mur mur, a rustle, a whisper that resolved itself at last into the excited phrases: “The widow has arrived!" “Twenty millions and unincumbered!" “Widow of Sadowa, the animated money bag!” “A Monte Crlsto fortune for some lucky man!” “Her name Is Sonia Sa dowa; twenty millions—red hair, too, but a beauty!” “Twenty millions!” “The Merry Widow!” Down the stairway from the dress ing rooms and into the salon swept a woman—young, beautiful, vivacious. A light of mischief danced in her great dark eyes. Her masses of auburn hair shone like an aureole above her rather pale, delicate faee. About her hovered a half score of gallants, all vying for a word, a look, from the beauty (and fortunei of the Paris season. Two men the Marquis of Cascada and the Count de St. Brioche—were lucky enough to claim for a moment or two her attention. “No, no!” Sonia was saying in pro test. “At home, in Marsovia, men don’t make such pretty speeches. ( ourtship there is very primitive and marriage is for life. When a man makes love to another’s wife, he is promptly shot. When a wife llirts, her husband beats her black and blue a good plan. Why not try it in Paris?” “Delightful!” exclaimed Cascada. “Do you know, mudume, we have been counting the moments until you ap peared?” “I can well believe it,” assented So nia. “It must have been just like counting money.” “Oh. mudume!” protested the group, horrified. “Don't I know?” retorted Sonia, a little bitterly. “It’s always like that. People count me like so much money. If it is coarse for me to say so, re member I’m a fanner’s daughter and that in my country people call a spade a spade.” Popoff and Natalie came hurriedly in to pay their respects to the guest upon whom Marsovia's hopes so dejiended. At a sign from the ambassador the oth ers drew back. “So you were shocking some of our Paris gallants?” beamed the ambassa dor. “What a child of nature you are!” “You mean,” countered Sonia, “that 1 am a peasant dressed up. How I wish sometimes that I were a real peasant again!” “Ah!” chuckled Popoff. “Child of na ture, true child of nature, always remembering the dear old days on the farm—the bleating of the pigs, the new laid milk, the tomatoes freshly dug up and all the simple joys of the coun- try! But I want you to meet tonight some of our Marsovian nobility—for instance, Prime Danilo, a charming young fellow. He’ll be here presently. Danilo is”— But the mischief had died out of Sonia’s eyes. Her face was paler than was its wont, and there was a stern look as of pain about the daintily Chiseled mouth. “I have already met Prince Danilo,” she said curtly. “Really?” cried Popoff. Then, not ing her change of expression, he added with apprehension: “I hoj>e it was not on one of his wet days—a charming, lovable youngster in spite of his”— “I am uot interested in bearing about him,” broke in Sonia in a curiously level, emotionless voice. “It was long ago that we met. He will have forgot ten me even as—as I have forgotten him. Let ns talk of something else, please.” Even Popoff could see something was seriously amiss.
