"We arc to bo honored, nlr," mild tho

a hundred times: "You lucky dog! It
was worth fcrty gashes like thin. I'.y
, Jove, she's divine!"
In a fever of eager haste ho bathed
and attired himself for dinner, the Im
perturbable Hcdrlok assisting. One
tiery filled tho American's mind, "I
wonder If I am to Hit beside her." And
then: "I have sat beside) her! Thero
can never again be mien delight!"
It wiii 7 o'clock before bin rather un
usual toilet wan completed. "See if

thejr table. I'uclo f'aspnr and bla niece
were facing hlin an he enme up be
tween the tables, and he saw, with no
little regret, that ho wan to Hit beside
the auut-dlrectly opposite the girl,
however. Hho ainllitl up at him as lie
Ktood before them, bowing. Ho saw
the expression of Impilry In those deep,
liquid eyes of violet ill thi'lr gaze wan
dered over his hair.
"Your heud? I nee no bandage," the
aid reproachfully.
"Thero Is a small plaster, and that Is
all. Only heroes may have dangerous
wounds," he mild laughingly.
"Is heroism In America nieiiHured by
the number of studies or the size of
the plaster?" she asked pointedly. "Ill
my country It Is a Joy mid not a ca
lamity. Wounds are the misfortune of
valor, l'ray la seated, Mr. Lorry - Is It
Hot?" she said, pronouncing It ipialutly.
. lie sat down ml her suddenly on In n r

learned It? Not a soul on tho train
knew It, bo was sure.
"I am Caspar (iuggetiHlocker. Permit

the uncle more gracefully than he Im.l

The orders for the dinner were given,
mid the quartet sat hack In their chairs
to await the coming of the soup. Greu
fall was still wondering how she had
learned his mime, and was on the
point of asking several times during
tho conventional discussion of the
weather, the train mid tho mountains.
He considerately refrained, however,
unwilling to embarrass her.
"Aunt Yvonne tolls me nlie never ex

"Not In the least. I was merely feel

Mr.-Mr. (luggeiiloeker, did the cou

asked, remembering what the conduc

"At Hist, but I soon convinced hlin
that It should he hold," said the other
ijuletly.

Tell us, Tnele Caspar, what yon
aid to the conductor," cried the young
lady nervously.
"Tell them, Caspar, how alarmed wo
were," adib-d soft voiced Aunt Yvonne.
Gronfall was a silent. Interested ipec
tntor. He somehow felt a If a wen
from some tragedy had been repro
duced In thut brlefi-st of momenta.
Calmly and composedly, a half luille
now lu his face, the soldierly Caspar
narrated the tory of the train's run
from one station to the other.
"We did not miss you until we had
almost reached the other station. Then
your Aunt Yvonne asked me where you
bad gone. I told her I hail not Been
you, but went Into the conch ahead to
goiirob. You were not there. Then I
Went on to the dining car. Ach, you
were not there. In alarm I returned to
our car. Y'otir aunt and I looked every
where. You were not anywhere. 1
Kent Iledrlck ahead to summon the
conductor, hut he luid hardly left lis
when the engine vvhlsll.il sharply ami
the train began to slow up 111 a Jerky
fashion. I rushed to the platform,
meeting Iledrlck, who was as much
iil.'irmed us I. He said the train bad
been flagged and thnt there must be
something wrong. Your aunt came out
and told me that she had made a
atrange discovery."
(ironfall observed thnt be was ad
dressing himself exclusively to the
young Italy.
"She had found that the gentleman
In the next section was also missing.
While we w ere standing thero In doubt
and perplexity the train came to a
standstill, and soon there was shouting
on the outside. I climbed down from
the car and saw that we were ut a lit
tle station. The conductor came run
ning toward mo excitedly.
" 'Is the young lady In tho car? he
asked.
" 'No. For heaven's sake, what have
you heard 7' I crlisl.
"Then she bus been left at 0 ,'
be exclaimed, and nsisl Homo very ex
traordinary American words.
"I then Informed him that ho should
run hack for you, first learning that
you were alive and well. He said he
would he d d If he would pardon
the woid, ladles. He was very angry
and said lie would give orders to go
abend, but I told hlin I would denisnd
restitution of his government. Ho
liiiighisl In my face, and then I Iwcnme
Hlinini'linsly angry. I siild to him:
" 'Sir, I shall call you dow n' not out,
ns you have said -'and I shall run you
through tho mill.'
"That was good American talk, sir,
wns It not. Mr. Lorry? I wanted him
to understand lue, so I tried to use your
very best language. Home gentlemen
who are traveling on this train and
some very excellent Indies also Joined
In the demand that the train be held.
Ills dispatch from O said that you,
Mr. Lorry, Insisted on having It held
for twenty minutes. The conductor In
sulted you, sir, by saying that you had
more uh, what Is It? gall than liny
Idiot he had ever sismi. When hu laid
that, iilllmugli I did not fully under

a gentleman m il a friend of mine, lie
asked me your I'.niiie. but ns I did not
know It I could only tell 1dm that he
would Irani It soon enough. Then ho
said something w hich has pur.hsl me
ever since. He told mo to close my face.
What did he mean by that, Sir. Lor
ry?" "Well, Mr. (iuggenslocker, that
means la refined American 'stop talk
ing,'" said Lorry, controlling n desire
to shout.
"Ach, that accounts for his surprise
when I talked louder and faster than
ever. I did hot know what he meant.
Ho said podllvely lie would not wait,
but Just then a Hcenud message came
from the other statlou. 1 did not know
what It wns then, bill u gentleman told
mo that It Instructed him to hold the
train If he wanted to hold his Job. Job
Is situation, Is It not? Well, when he
rend that message he said lie would
wuit Just twenty minutes. I asked lilln
to tell me how you were coining to us,
but he refused to answer. Your aunt
aud 1 went at once to the teiegrnph
man and Implored li 1 in to tell us the
truth, and he said you were coming hi
a carriage over n very dangerous road.
Imagine our feelings when he snld
some people had been killed yesterday
ou that very road.
"When your aunt and I returned to
the train we saw the conductor holding
his watch. He said to me, 'In Just three
minutes we pull out. If they are not
here by that time they can get on the
hint they know how. I've done all 1

There -,ias something so cool and

added his niece, a faraway look com

"We are to stop off one day, to

Yvonne, aud the Jump that Lorry's
heart gave was so mighty that he wai
afraid they could see It in his face.
"My uncle has some business to

nil. Ach, how I long for Thursday!"
His heart sank like lead to the depths
from which It had sprung. It required
no effort on his part to see that he was
alone In his Infatuation. Thursday
was more to her than his existence.
She could forget hlin and think of
Thursday, and when she thought of
Thursday, the future, ho was but a
thing of the past, not even of the pres
ent. "Have you always lived In Washing

sloeker. "All my life," ho replied, wishing at
that moment that he was homeless and
free to choose for himself.
"You Americans live lu one city mid

are not migratory."

"Why, my dear sir, Grnustark Is lu"
began I'ncle Caspar, but she checked
hlin Instantly.
