[Original.] * j S
When Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Compton j
appeared In Washington, there was
some (llthculty in making them out. It , ~
was generally conceded that Mrs.
Compton was of a superior grade to
her husband?that Is, she had the
mannerisms of society, which her husband
had not. Mr. Compton laughed
rather loud, while Mrs. Compton laughed
very softly, though an expert iu
caste would have detected that it was _
rather artificial tb in natural. \>
The minister from Auraula?there Is j
no such country as Auraula; the name i
is used to stand for a kingdom which it
would not do to mention openly?be- 1'
came devoted to Mrs. Compton. Either !
mis or .tii-s. v ompton became devoted
to the ambassador. We must have a
name for the minister, so we will call
liltn the Marquis of Carlbas. lie was j
regarded ps one of the brightest of the ft
diplomatic corps aud withal the most
reticent. He had a way of furnishing items
to reporters without giving them- i 1'
information which, though it did not
satisfy, never antagonized them.
"Marquis," suid Mrs. Coinpton one 7
evening when with the ambassador, J
"there Is a rutuor that the war between
your people and the Wlsterlaus"?another
fictitious name?"is about to
cease. 1 hear the United States will
intervene."
"All depends upon the emperor of
Wisteria."
"Indeed! What do you Auraulans
e.\i>ect him to do'r"
"We exi?ect him to do nothing." 7
"That implies that he Is l>eut on doing
something." _
"If so It is the first time he has ever j;
done anything. He is the laziest sovereign
on the face of the earth."
"I thought possibly that you would
trust me just a little since we have he I
come such good friends," said the lady, I
with a hurt expression. "I don't see
Low you diplomats ever marry; j-ou
must always have secrets from the wo- j
man who loves you." i ?
As Mrs. Compton spoke the last j
words she looked up meaningly at the j
marquis.
"My clear Mrs. Oomptou," he replied. i_
"I know nothing as yet of the subject \\
you are mentioning. Ask me something
that I know?the methods, for |,
Instance, hy which we diplomats act? ,
it lid I will show you that any woman {a
who?who loves me will be repaid for !
her devotion."
"Well, then, how do you communicate
important information to your
sovereign without having it known to
the world?"
' "By a cipher code." i|
"What Is your code?"
"It Is too conqti^^i#*^,' make you
famillnr^Uth 'i>v considerable _
Mrs. Compton pondered; then she
asked, "What's your word for peace?"
Tax," replied the marquis.
'Tax? What a funny word! What's
your word for war?"
"Voblscum."
Tax and voblscum! Seems to me ,
I've heard something like that some- I
where."
Mrs. Compton had made a step In a '
plan she had formed nud began to I
consider her next one. Presently she j
added:
"Promise me one thing."
"Anything." I ^
"Telephone me when you are about i
to send'your cablegram on this subject I
to your sovereign." 1t
"If tliere i.s time."
"Keep ine posted as to when you ex- ! |
pcct tlie matter to be settled, and I |
will go at n moment's notice."
"I promise."
A few days later Mrs. Compton was I
summoned to the Aumnlan embassy. '
Calling a carriage, she proceeded tbitli- >
er at a rapid pace. She was ushered
Into the marquis' private ortice.
"I am sending an important message ;
to my government," he said. "It is
impossible without betraying a sacred "
trust to show It to you. I am going
Into the other oflice for a few moments,
and you will he alone here."
He looked meaningly at u paper lying
on his desk and weut out. Mrs. Comp- i
ton rushed to the paper and ran her |
eye over a number of words which to '
her were meaningless. But one attract- ed
her attention?the word pax. When S
the mnrquls returned she gave him a
look indicating her profound appreciation
of ids net. Returning to her hotel, ebe
found her husband wulting for her. I
"Well?" he exclaimed eagerly.
"It's pence."
Without a word he rushed to his tele- plione
and, calling up his New York I
atockbroker, ordered him to buy a million
in urniilnn bonds Immediately.
Mr. and Mrs. Comptou's expectation
that pence would be announced and "
the bonds rise in price was disappoint- |
ed. There was no Intervention, no
|>eace. She did not see the Marquis of
Carabas again, for he soon after took
bis vacation. The bonds sank In price,
and Mr. Coinpton's were sold out at a
loss.
One day the couple went to a Roman .
Catholic church to hear some fine music,
and during the services the priest
pronounced the words "Par voblscum."
They looked at each other meaningly.
Later, meeting a priest, Mrs. Compton
asked him what the words meant.
"Feace be with you," replied the priest,
and Mrs. Compton thanked him and
said good morning.
The marquis told the story when he .
reached home Illustrative of the curl- i
oslty of Americans and American women
especially.
"Rut how did you Introduce the word
pax?" asked a listener.
"Oh, the cipher Includes certain check 2
words here and there that mean nothing.
1 used pax for one of them."
