I tell you 1 shall remain where I am. I prefer to study the situation as the guest ol Madame la Vicomtesse de Valiar." "And mark my words, nothing will come of it," retorted D'Auburon.

Cassagne had apparently made great strides In the good books of de Valiar. He spent his mornings in the office of the Mutual Credit nnd Loan Company, where he gave really valuable advice concern ing the floating of the Consolidated Dock enterprise. He passed his afternoons seeing Paris, with the vicomte and Chabot; and his evenings he divided between the vlcom- tefse and the card table. In a house where high play was the principal event of the evening, It was impossible not to come more or less within its Influence. Certain It is that the vlcomtesse had tnken a more than ordinary interest In her foreign guest. Perhaps he was n good listener, which Is the slncerest flat tery to your brilliant conversationalist.
