"O, I'm In such a mess, Skeff and I want your help!" be exclaimed, de spondently. "Go ahead let's hear the latest!" I said, with a sigh. "Well, before I went to the front, two years ago, I was a younger man " he began, hesitatingly. "The argument seems sound." I snld thoughtfully. "0you know what I mean, Skoff! I was much- younger a silly young fool!" He paused. "Well, to cut the story short, I fell in love with an actress O, not the popular idea, Skeff! She was pretty and refined, and taking a small part in a comedy. I was very much in love, and if I hadn't been sent out at the time I should have married her." "I have always hold that even the war ofiice occasionally betrays intelli gence," I murmured. "It saved me just in time. A mar riage of that type is altogether impos sible for me. You know the state of our family finances." "But if the war ofllce saved you, Where's the trouble?" I asked. "On my return the mater picked out a wealthy American girl for me. I was on the point of proposing, when sud denly I am threatened with the conse quences of my early Indiscretion." "The little actress?" "She wrote to me when I returned, but I could not see my way to answer, so didn't. This seems to have made her very angry, and she says she Is going to bring a broach-of-promlse ac tion. And she'll win hands down!" be added, with a groan. She has simply packets of my letters, and all as loving as you can make em! "You're a man of the world, Skeff, and pardon my way of putting It you've got the gift of gab. I want you to go to her and talk her out of it. Draw a picture of my being forced against my will into a hateful mar riage, tell her flint I've only consented so that the honor of the Southbrook name muy be saved. Y'ou can do it, Skeff you will do It?" he finished. Im ploringly. The Southbrook carriage had drawn up near us, and her ladyship was lean ing forward. "IIow do you do, Mr. Skeflington?" she said, distantly. A proper recogni tion of my sterling worth had never been a feature of her ladyship's atti tude toward me. "Dennis, 1 want you particularly. I will drive you back." she added, In a tone that admitted of no denial. The young scamp turned to me for n second and slipped a hand Into the in ner pocket of his frock coat The next moment be had smuggled to mo a crumpled envelope. "Her address I rely on you!' he whispered. And, with a final appeal ing glance, he sprang in besido his mother, and the carriage drove away. I smoothed out the envelope, and glanced at the address. I read: "Miss Effle Brenan, 5 Westbury Mansions, Hyde Tark, West." Another quarter of an hour, and I was standing before the door of No. 5 Westbury Mansions. A trim servant appeared on the threshold. "Is Miss Brenan dlsengagedr I asked, banding in my card. "I've called on a matter of business, and, if she could spare me a few minutes' conver sation, I should feel grateful." ine door opened and n entered. ' I rose to my feet, and. as mv eyes fell on her face. I dronm-d im.L- ,'. in amazement. She was the lady of L.a. luruie my lost divinity! "So you have actually found us out at last?" she exclaimed, l nn fun' think how sorry mother was that she iorgot to give your our address. It was unpardonable!" I pulled myself together with an effort. "To be perfectly honest. It la a h accident. I had not the slightest Idea mat miss lime Brenan was you!" I saw a slightly puzzled look creep over ber face. I hesitated for a mo ment, then plunged into the object of my visit. i "It's rather a delicate matter int perhaps, I had better begin by explain ing tnat I'm the oldest friend of Lord Dennis Gorlson." I paused. "And I came at his requestas well, shall we say, a mediator?" "A mediator is one necessary?" she said. "We are hoping so. You see, Dennis has told me everything, poor boy! How he fell very much in love with you be fore he went out to the war." ' "Did he tell you that?" she said, quietly. "Yes. And. by the way, he gave me a very accurate description of you," I continued, with a glance at her. "He Bald you were a charming, refined, tal ented young actress playing comedy pans in a highly artistic manner." "His present attitude would seem to suggest that he has changed his mind." I explained the sacrifice he was mak ing, pleaded eloquently In bis defense, drew a touching picture- of his aged parents, to whom this marriage meant so much. She listened silently, with her face turned away from me. "And the American girl does he love her?" she asked, in a subdued voice, at the conclusion. "He'll marry her, be good to her, but he can never love her! It is Just the usual vulgar exchange of dollars for title, brutal but necessary, and vital to the honor of the Southbrook name. There, I've put the whole case before you. He has had to make his sacrifice. I ask you to be generous, make one yourself, give him back his letters, let him off!" "But It was a very good chanco for me," she said, doubtfully. "O, you will have others; you simply can't help ot!" I said, eagerly. "You think so?" she said, wlfh a lit tle blush. She looked perfectly rav ishing, and for the moment 1 forgot myself. "Why, to convince you," I cried, I'll " I just saved myself in time. She was utterly charming, and of course, my lost divinity, and I was as much in love with her as ever; but, still, I hadn't quite accustomed myself to the breach-of-promise Idea, ' "Well, to convince me, what?" she asked with a smile. I hedged. "O, that before many years pass you will have one," I said vaguely., "Come, what do you say will you be. gener ous and let him oft?" She gave a little laugh and held out her hand. "Very well, I promise he shall beq ulte free as far as 1 am con cerned." Her cool, firm little hand pressed mine, and I felt a thrill go through me. I drew up just In time again. You see, I had been looking into ner eyes, and, as I had told Mrs. Ventry, they were wonderful. But again the breach-of-promise scheme loomed up before me. "Well, now you have found us, you will come again, say, to-morrow, for tea? Mother does so want to thank you It I tore mvself nwov and walked back to my rooms. I had plenty of food for reflection on the way. "After all, a divinity Is a divinity, whether she threatens to bring breach-of-promise actions or not," I solilo quized. "And she didn't really mean it. Directly I pointed out the nature of the case she was generosity Itself. It was perfectly natural, too, her being angry. Any girl would have done the same yes, any girl!" I repeated, reassuringly. I reached my rooms and found a tel pern in awaiting me. I tore it open was from Dennis. For liea ven's sake, don't go; In flurry gave you address of American instead of actress. Gorlson." "Jove!" I gasped, as the whole sig nificance of the thing dawned on me. "She discovered the mistake almost immediately,, and kept it up. What ort!" I thought hard for a few moments, then came to a decision. I hurried out, and in a few minutes was back at Westbury Mansions. I was again shown In, and the young person received me with her eyes twin kling with merriment "There has been a terrible mistake," I began lamely, showing her Denny's wire. "You see, he was trying not to let his mother notice him giving me the address," I added, in explanation. "Be merciful!" I implored, humbly. There was a pause. "I wonder what you are going to do?" "What I have done," she corrected. "I have kept my word. Directly you left. I sent a letter to him by hand! 1 don't think he will call again," she ndded, meaningly. "Is there absolutely no help for hiniV" I said, with nn attempt to re press the quiver of excitement In my tone.
