The tall chauf feur understood what the trouble was and set It right ln two minutes. Shortly after five o'clock, the car turned off the broud main road on which It had been traveling. The chauffeur, who seemed to know ex actly where he was, drove confidently along a number of byroads which were often little better than muddy lanes. At about seven o'clock they entered a thickly wooded district. Tha last glimmerings of daylight faded away among the trees. The car's headlight* were switched on and for a while they traveled ah ng a moving patch of white light between two w alls of Impenetra ble darkness Soon after eight o'clock they reached a little village. At one end of the street stood an inn with brightly light.*1 windows. The party waa received b y e fat and obsequious Innkeeper, who 'rested them as guests whom he bad b -en expecting. Wheth er It was Coun. Caslmlr or the Lys- trian chauffeur s h e made the ar rangements for the Journev the t' w ti well done. An "\ warm supper waa ready. Lin the table were set Juga of hot Tlsch Wein pleasantly aplced. Tommy, at least, probably the princess, slept soundly ln marvel ously soft feather beds. Perhaps Janet Church slept well, too; but she ought to have lain awake tormented by her conscience. For the third time since she came to Germany she had been false to her temperance princi ples. But hot spiced Tlsch Weln is a sleeping drink. It may have over powered even Janet's conscience. Next morning the pwrty started ear ly and drove along roads which were even worse than those of the eve ning before, roads with vile surfaces. The Chauffeur Took the Rugs and Curtains From th* Car and Spread Them on the Wiry Grass Which Grew Beside the Road. sharp corners and sudden steep gradi ents The chauffeur was forced to drive cautiously, but he kept up at a good pace. After a while they emerged from the woodland and Tommy saw that they were among the foothills of a range of mountains. Stunted trees grew on the hill slopes. Now and then there were glimpses of tall mountains ln front. Streams gurgled and splashed over stony courses. Houses and cottages were few and far between. The cat tle which grazed In the open spaces were small and lean. At rare Inter vals tha car slowed down to allow a peasant to coax a frightened mule past It. This plainly was a country In which motor cars were few. Shortly after one o'clock the car stopped and the chauffeur got out. He said something to the princess and held open the door of the car. ^ “He wants u* to get out end have lunch.” said Calypso. "Good,” aald Tommy. “I feel near ly starved. Thla sort of driving makes one furiously hungry and the Ger mans, though they have an excellent Idea of dinner, simply don't under stand breakfast at all. “I always make It a point,” said Jnnet. “of carrying some malted milk lozenges In my pocket." That Is the sort of thing I should expeet of Janet. 1 have never to my knowledge seen a malted milk lozenge. I have certainly never tasted one. But I have a feeling they are Insipid and slightly sickening. The chauffeur took the rugs and cushions from the car and spread them on the wiry grass which grew upon the rocks beside the road. He made a kind of throne for Calypso, much. I suppose, as the Israelltlsh captains did for Jehu with their garments. Then, when site sai down, he bowed before her three times, so low that Ms forehead touched the ground. Aft- *■" *bet he kissed the toe* of each of to stoiee. Calypso received tlte hom age with dignity. Tommy a a * Invited to alt down on an Inferior throne end was only given one bow. Janet waa left to settle her self ss best she could on a sing's rug laid Hat on tha ground. Tha chauffeur did not bow to bar at all. and though her feet stuck out when she sat down, he made no attempt to klea them. The chauffeur brought luncheon baskets from the car. The meal waa excellent. The wine, llier* were two bottles of a red wine new to Tummy, was very good. Thera were knives, silver forks beantlAiIly polished, fins china plates and napkins. At last came coffee, hot from a large theriuoa flask. The chauffeur waa evidently by no means such a savage as he looked. Tommy enjoyed his luncheon thor oughly, all the more because Calypso talked to him amiably and pleasantly while they were eating 1L She was by tliaf time exceedingly tired of Janet, who had been discussing the plans of the society for establishing world peace ever tinea they left Bres lau. Tommy might be- she only half believed he was—an unscrupulous be trayer of Innocent maidens, like Miss Temple and herself. But even a Lo thario Is t pleasant change after hours of Janet Cburch. After luncheon the chauffeur made a long speech to the princess. He ■poke earnestly snd pointed forward ■long th* road with outstretched hand. “He tells me,” laid Calypso, “that we are quite near the German fron tier post W ell reach It In another twenty minutes and of course there'll be an examination of our passports.” "I hope It'll be all righ t" said Tom my. "W e passed the man at Breslau, thanks to Allen. I dsre say these peo ple won't stop us.” "A few yards beyond th# German i o»L” said the princess, “we’ll come to the Uegallan frontier guards. They’ll want our passports, too." "Well.” said Tommy, “the passports are all right ln themselves, properly fixed up with diplomatic visas and all that. No one ought to object to them.” "Let me look at them.” aald Janet. Tommy took them from bis pocket and Janet examined them carefully. "W e don't any of us look much like the photos.” she said. “You,” she looked at Tommy, “ought to have a mustache.” “A man might ahave off his mus tache.” said Tommy. "Lots of fellows do. quits suddenly, without telling the Foreign office or asking for new pass ports.” “And Miss—looks a great many years younger than I am." said Janet. “Let me look.” said Calypso. She studied the photographs of the two la dles. “It seems to me,” she said at last, “that I'd better be Miss Gis borne.” "But then.” said JaneL “I should have to be Mrs. Heard. That Is to say.” she looked fiercely at Tommy as she spoke, “your wife.” “Only quite temporarily,” aald Calypso. “Well, I won't.” said Ja n e t “One of yon has got to be,” said Tommy, “and we'd better decide which before we get there. In rase we're asked, and very likely we shall be asked.” "I can't possibly say I'm his wife,” said Calypso to Janet. “Why not 7” said Janet. “He’s go- lifib to marry you. Isn't he?’ “He's going to marry Miss Temple,” said Calypso. “No, I ’m not." said Tommy. “If you'd only allow me to explain—” But Calypso having remembered Miss Temple's pathetic appeal to lier. w h s not going to listen to anything Tommy had to say. “You must.” she said to JaneL “No. 1 wont,” said Janet. “One of you will have to,” said Tommy, “or else we'U certainly be stopped and probably be arrested." "I wont,” said Janet doggedly. “I promise faithfully.” said Tom my. “that I won't take any advantage of the position.” Calypso, I am sorry te say, giggled. It was a vulgar thing to do and she checked herself Immediately. Janet became very angry. Tommy got red and stumbled on. “I mean, that I won't hold your hand or—or—kiss you. or any'hltqg tike that.” The princess went beyond giggling. She laughed aloud. "You appear to forget.” said Janet, "that I am a Scotswoman.” ”1 don't see how that can make any difference,” said Tommy. “According to the Scotch law,” said Janet.
