eeemed a world et confusion, dressed
ae though for a journey, even her vel
and her gloves denoting her departure
She spoke hurriedly and almost with
oat politeness.
'I have sent for you to come an*

knows I am going away. There wlL
ha a dreadful row at the theater, but
that's uone of your affairs. Now, I
want you to tell me before I go Just
what you are going to do for Dan."
"Who are you going with?" Ruggles
aaked shortly, and she flashed at him:
"We::, reilly. I don't think that Is
any of your business. When you drive
a woman as you have driven me, she
will go far."
He interrupted her vehemently, not
darin* to take her hand. "I couldn't
do more. I have asked you to onarry
see. I couldn't do more. I staid by
what I have said. Will yout" he
stammered.
She knew men. She looked at him
keenly. Her veil was lifted above her
as and Its shadow framed her small
pale face on 'vhich there were marks
of utter disenchantment, of greU en

had done countless times. Ruggles
waited until he saw her motor car
carry her and her small luggage and

again he carried in his hand his va?
lise, which he put down with a bang
on the table. More calmly, but still
In great anger, he said to his father's
friend:
"Now, can xou tell me what you've
done or not?"
"Dan," said Ruggles with difficulty,
"if you will sit down a moment we
can?"
The boy laughed In his face. "Sit
down!" he cried. "Why, 1 think you
must have lost your reason. I have
chartered a motor car out there and
the damned thing has burst a tire and
they are fixing It up for me. It will

then I am going to follow wherever
she has gone. She crossed to Paris,
but I can get there before she can
even with this damned accident. But,
before I go, I want you to tell me

"Why," said Ruggles quietly, "I told
her you were poor, and she turned
you down."
His words were faint
"God! * said the boy under his
breath. "That's the way you think
about truth. Lie to a woman to save
my precious soul! But 1 expect," he
said; "you think she Is so immoral
end so bid that she will hurt roe.
Well," he said, with great emphasis,
"she has never done anything in her
life that comes up to what you've
done. Never! And nothing has ever
hurt me so."
His Hps trembled. "I have lost my
respect for you, for my father's friend,
and as far asMshe is concerned, I don't
care what she marries me for. She
has got to marry me, and if she
doesn't"?he hsd no idea, in his pas- 1
?ion, what he was saying or how?
"why. 1 think 111 kill you first and
then blow my own brains out!" And
with these mad words he grabbed Up
his valise and bolted from the room,
and Ruggles could hear his running
feet tearing down the corridor.
CHAPTER XXVI.
White and Coral.
Spring in Paris, which comes in a
fashion so divine that even the most
calloused and indifferent are im?
pressed by its beauty, awakened no
answering response in the heart of
the young man who, from his hotel
window, looked out on the desecrated
gardens of the Tulleries?on the dis?
tant spires of churches whose names
he did not know?on the square block
of old palaces. He had missed the
boat across the channel taken by Let
ty Lane, and the delay had made him
lose what little trace of her he had.
In the early hours of the morning
he had flung himself in at the St.
James, taTken the indifferent room
they could give him in the crowded
season, and excited as he w?s he slept
and did not waken until noon. Blair
thought It would be a matter of a few |
hours only to find the whereabouts of
the celebrated actress, but it was not
such an easy job. He had not guessed
that she might be traveling incognito,
and at none of the hotels could he
hear news of her, nor did he pass her
'.n the crowded, noisy, rustling, cry
"Why," 8aid Ruggles Quietly, "I Told
Her You Were Poor, and She Turn
ed You Down."
Ing streets, though he searched mo?
tors for her wlih eager eyes, and
haunted restaurants and cafes, and
went everywhere that ho thought she
might be likely to be.
At the end of the third day, naguo
aanafnl and in despair, having hardly
slept and scarcely eaten, the unhappy
young lover found himself taking 1
slight luncheon in the little restau
rant known as the Perouse down on
the Quals. Ills head on his hand, for
the present moment the joy of life
gone from him. he looked out through
the Windows at the Heine, at tho
bridge and the lines of flowering trees
He was the only occupant of the up
per room where, of late, he had or
dered his luncheim.
Tho tide of llf* rolled slowly in this
quieUr part of tho city, and aa I lall
sat there under the window there

tune. It was so different from any ol
Give us your Job work.
the loud metropolitan clamors, witb
which his ears were full, that he got
up, walked to the window and leaned
out. It was a pastoral that met hit
eyes. A man piping, followed by little
pattering goats; the primitive, un
looked-for picture caught his tired at
I tention, and, Just then, opposite the
Quals, two women passed?flower sei
I ler8, their baskets bright with cro
i cuscs and gtrofles. The bright pic
; ture touched him and something of
l the spring-like beauty that the day
! wore and that dwelt in the May light,
I soothed him as nothing had for many
hours.
He paid his bill, took courage
picked up his hat and gloves and
stick and walked out briskly, crossing
the bridge to the Rue de Rivoli, deter?
mined that night should not fall until
he found the woman he sought Nor
did it, though the afternoon wore on
and Dan, pursuing his old trails, wan?
dered from worldly meeting place to
worldly meeting place. Finally, toward
j six o'clock, he saw the lengthening
I shadows steal into the woods of the
Bols de Boulogne, and in one of the
i smaller alleys, where the green
! trunked trees of the forests were full
of purple shadows and yellow sun
1 discs, flickering down, he picked ut
I a small iron chair and sat himself
down, with a long sigh, to rest
j While ne sat there watching the
I end of the allee as it gave out into
the broader road, a beautii'ul red mo?
tor rolled up to the conjunction of the
two ways and Letty Lane, In a sum?
mer frock, got out alone. She had a
flowing white veil around her head
and a flowing white scarf around her
shoulders. As the day on the Thames,
she was all in white?like a dove. But
this time her costume was made vivid
and picturesque by *the coral parasol
she carried, a pair of coral-colored
kid shoes, around her neck and fall?
ing on their long chain, she wore his
coral beads. He saw that he observed
her face before she did him. All this
Dan saw beforo he dashed into the
road, came up to her with something
like a cry ou his lips, bareheaded, for
his hat and his stick and his gloves
were by his cha'r In the woods.
Letty Lane's hands went to her
heart and her face took on a deadly
pallor. She did not seem glad to see
him. Out of his passionate descrip?
tion of the houts that he had been
through, of how he had looked for
her, of what he tL night and wanted
and felt, the actress made what she
could, listening to him as they both
stood there under the shadows of
the green trees. Scanning her face
for some sign that she loved him, for
it was all he cared for, Dan saw no
such indication there. He finished
with:
"You know what Ruggles told you
was a lie. Of course, I've got money
enough to give you everything you
want. He's a lunatic and ought to
be shut up."
"It may have been a lie, all right,"
she said with forced indifference;
"I've had time to think it over. You
are too young. You don't know what
you want." She stopped his protesta?
tions: "Well, then, I am too old and
I don't want to be tied down."
When he pressed her to tell him
whether or not she had ceased to
care for him, she shook her head
slowly, marking on the ground fine
tracery with tho end of her coral par?
asol. He had been obliged to take
her back to the red motor, but before
they were in earshot of her servants,
he said:
"Now, you know Just what you have
done to me, you and Ruggles between I
you- For my father's sake and the |
thing I believed in I've kept pretty
straight as things go." He nodded
it her with boyish egotism, throwing
ill the blame on her. "I want you to
jnderstand that from now, right now,
I'm going to the dogs just as fast as
( cp.n get there, and it won't be a very
gratifying result to anybody that ever
cared."
She saw the determination on his
fine young face, worn by his sleepless
nights, already matured and changed,
and she bt lievi d him.
"Paris," he nodded toward the gate
of the woods which opened upon
Paris, "is the place to begin in?right |
here. A man," he went on, and his j
Ups trembled, "cau only feel like this j
once in his life. You know all the
talk there is about young love and
first love. Well, that's what I've got

continued more passionately. "I don'

She said: "Hush, hush. Listen

He Interrupted roughly: "Who Bayt

about? Why, 111 cover you with Jew

She understood that Dan belleve<

and-bull one.
"You talk as though you could bu:

back from her. "Now, if you won't b<
quiet I'm going to stop my car." j
He repeated: "Tell me, are yoi i
alone In Paris? Tell me. For thre<
days I have wandered and searchec
for you everywhere; I have hardlj
eaten a thing, I don't believe I havi .
slept a wink." And he told her of hit
weary search.
She listened to him, part of the tim?
her white-gloved hand giving itself ui
to the boy; part of the time bo?
hands folded together and away fr?re
him, her arms crossed on her breast
her small shoes of coral kid tapping
the floor of the car. Thus they rolled
leisurely along the road by the Bols

face; his relief was tremendous.
"Oh, thank God!" he breathe!

The boy threw back his bright heac
and laugher wildly.
"Curse him! The very name make*
me want to commit a crime. He will
go over my body to you. You heat
me, Letty. I mean what I say."
People had already remarked them
as they passed.. The actress was toe
well known to pass unobserved, but
she was indifferent to their curiosity '
or to the existence of anyone but this
excited boy.
Blair, who had not opened a paper
since he came to Paris, did not know j
that Letty Lane's flight from London
had created a scandal in the theatri?
cal world, that her manager was suing
her, and that to be seen with her driv?
ing in the Bols was a conspicuous
thing indeed. She thought of it, how?
ever.

He laughed again in the same
jtralned fashion and forced her hand

"Look here. You don't suppose I

Bringing all her strength of charac?
ter to bear, she exclaimed: "I expect
rou think you are the only pertota who
has asked me to marry him, Dan. I
un going to marry Prince Ponlo?
towsky. He is perfectly crazy about
me."
Until that moment she had not
made him think that sho was indiffer?
ent to him, and the idea that such a
thing was possible, was too much for
his overstrained heart to bear. Dan
cried her name in a voice whoso ap?
peal was like a hurt creature's, and
as the hurt creature In its suffering
sometimes springs upon Its "torturer,
he Dung his arms around her as she
sat in the motor, hold her and kissed
her. ttien sot her free, and as the
motor flew along, tore open the door
to spring out or to throw himself out,

the edge of the quiet, wooded allce.
Blair saw that he had terrified her.
?sho covered her beating heart with
her hands and gasped at him that ho
was "craty, crazy," and perhaps a lit?
tle late his dignity and Belf-possession
returned.
"1 am mud," he acknowledged nu te

calmly, "and l am sorry in at "I 1 Tight?
ened you. Hut you drive me mad."
Without further word he got out
and left her agitated, leaning toward
him, and Hlalr, less pale and thor
oughly the man, lifted his hat to her
and, with unusual grace, bowed good
nigat and good-by. Then, rushing as
he had come, he walked off ^ov. n
through the allee, his gray figure In ?
his gray clothes disappearing through
the vista of meeting trees.
For a moment she stared after him
her eyes fastened on the tall, slender,
beautiful young man. Hlair's fire and
ardor, his fresh youthfulnesti, his pro?
tection and his chivalry, his ardent de
votion, touched her profoundly. Tears
fell, and one splashed on her white
glove. Was he really going to ruin I
his life? The old ballad, ' The Eari
of Moray," ran through her head:
"And long may his lady look from thi
castle wall."

CHAPTER XXVII.
At Maxim's.
At the Meurice, Miss Lane gav?
strict orders to admit only Mr. Blaii
to her apartments. She describee
him. No sooner had she drunk bet
cup of tea, which Higgins gave her
than she began to expect Dan.
He didn't come.
Her dinner, without much appetite
she ate alone in her salon; saw a doc
tor and made h. n prescribe something
for the cough that racked her chest;
looked out to the warm, bright gardens
of the TuiUeries fading into the pallid
loveliness of sunset, indifferent tc
everything in the world?except Dar
Plair. She believed she would soon
be indifferent to him, too; then every
thing would be done with. Now sh?
wondered had he really gone?had he
done what he threatened? Why didn't
he come? At twelve o'clock that night
as she lay among the cushions of hei
sofa, dozing, the door of her parlor
was pushed In. She sp'ang up with
a cry of delight; but when Ponio
towsky came up to her she ?\claimed:
"Oh, you!" And the languor and
boredom w ith which she Mid his nanu
made the prince laugh shortly.
"Yes, 1. Who did you thirk it was?'
Cynically and rather cruelly he looked
down at Letty Lane and admired the
picture she made: small, ex julslt?, her
blond head against the dart velvet ot
the lounge, her gray eyes intensified
by the fatigue under them.
"Just got in from Carls oad; came
directly here. How-de-do? You look,
you know?" he scrutinized her
through his single eye gl iss?"most
frightfully seedy."
"Oh. I'm all right." She left the
sofa, for she wanted to prevent his
nearer approach. "Have you had any
supper? I'll call Higgins."
"No, no. s!t down, please, will you'
i want to Know w*?y you sent To T^arls
bad for me? Have you come to your
senses?"
He was as mad about the beautiful
creature as a man of his temperament
could be. Exhausted by excess and
bored with life, she cha.-med and
amused him. and in order to have her
with him always, to be master of heT
caprices, he was willing to make any
sacrifice.
"Have you sent off that imbecile
boy ?" And at her look he slopped and
shrugged. You need a rest, my child,'
he murmured practically, "you're neu
raathenlc and ver> ill. I'vs wired to
have tho yacht at Cherbourg It'll
reach there by noon tomorrow."
