"I'm here at my country's call, all right, but my confounded country doesn't seem to be on band to meet me." His graceful walk was not wholly steady, and there was a flush on the hnndsome young face.

Then Natalie hurried in with De Jolldon. Both looked anxious. "How carele'S of me! the ambas sador's wife was exclaiming. "Where can I have dropped the miserable fan? If my husband should pick It up and find on It thone words you were foolish enough to write I wonder if I left It In the niche on the stairs when we were sitting there. Let's go back and see." They turned back, almost colliding with Bonln, who was cutering, Cas cada directly behind her. "Oh, Mme. Sadowa," naked Natalie, "you haven't seen anything of a white Ivory fan? I've lookd everywhere, ""No," replied the widow; "hut I'll look In this room If you haven't made a thorough search here already." Natalie, thanking her, hurried back with ber cavalier to the stairway. Sonla idly began her search, but Cas cada Interrupted her.

"Some one la hero!" she whispered, pointing toward the hidden couch. "You are mistaken," contradicted Cascada. "and even If It were so I am willing for 111 the world to know how I"- A long, blissful, sonorous snore from the couch Souls laughed, her eye alight with amusement. 'Snoring and romance uNu't go well together, marquis," she observed, "and as the snoring doosn't seeui likely to slap the romance must You say you are lu love with me, and 1 know yon are lu love with my fortuue.

Aa the discomfited marquis made bis way wrathfully from the room Sonlu mischievously crept across to the couch. There lay the man, sound aaloep, bis face still covered by the handkerchief. Sonla touched his hair. "Scut!" roared Danllo, giving his head a shake that let tbo handkerchief fall from his face. "Danllo!" gasped the widow, starting back. At sound of his name the prince sat up, daied and blinking. His wander ing eyos fell on the woman, and, with n exclamation of utter amaiemenf, he stumbled to his feet and stood staring Incredulously at her. "Sonla!" he exclaimed. "Sonla!" Then, recovering himself, be bowed stiffly and said: "I beg your pardon, madame." "No; I beg yours," she replied. "Pray go on suorlng." "Y'ou don't remember me?" he asked, urprised. "Not In the very least," she an swered, moving away. "Yet you called my name." "You were asleep then. That was different." "And now I am awake to the Joy of teeing you again." 'The Joy Is all your own. Is it o surprising to find me in Purls? I am here enjoying my wealth and free dom!" "I congratulate you on both, especial ly the freedom." "Yes. freedom Is one of your fade, I believe," remarked Sonla, "especially freedom from marriage. Do you still make a habit of avoldlrg marriage-- t the last moment?" "Sonla, you are unjust If It had rested with me you should be my wife now, not another mini's widow." "If It rested with you?' she mlm bked. "Well, let ilie whole story rest now. Ifs forgotleu." s'y you, perhaps never ly me. "Oh, no! I remember It every now and then for my own amusement. lUil It Is hard to think of myself as the little Marsovlan peasant maid to whom the dashing cavalry officer.

Twenty millions Is a prett' dowry " "At leant It seems you didn't brea t your heart over losing me." sneer tl Danllo. "No; uiy plebeian heart stood the shock excellently.

Dozens of them are after my money and make love to me because they can't get It without me." n "Men are not all fortune hunters, be denied botly. "I for oue"- "Ho tbey all nay. Each says 'I love your Each means my fortune." "They do?" cried Danllo, In rage at the strong Insinuation. "Well, here' one that doeRn't I for one shall never say to you, 'I love your " A strange smile stole across her face. She came very close to where he atood; so close that the faint perfume of her hair was sweet In his nostrils; so close that her breath was warm upon hia lips; so close that his bewildered soul struggled In vain to hide from the glory In her eyes. Her voice was a musical whisper as she asked: "You'll never say to me 'I love you?' " There was an Infinity of allurement in the tempting word. Danllo, with a mighty effort, shook off the spell and shouted: "Never! Never! Never!" "That's a comfort!" she said coldly, drawing away and seeking to veil ber keen disappointment "But," she added more softly, "why not say it if you really want to?" "I don't want to!" he declared aulkl' iy. "And you promise faithfully you'll never say to me. 'I love you?' " Again she was perilously close to him. Again bis eyes tore themselves free from the pleading seduetiveneea of hers as he relteruted: "I promise! I'm not going to make a fool of myself or be made a fool of." "Ia that a declaration of war?' queried Sonla. "No of friendship. Do you mean to say if I asked you to be my wife you would merely laugh at me?" "Probably. All men are alike." "Tbey are not and In time I'll prove It to you." Before abe could answer the ambas sador aud several of the guests came Into the room. At first opportunity ropoff drew Danllo aside.

"Then a Frenchman will marry ber, mill her fortuue and our country will be ruined. 1 won t marry her." repented Danllo, "and she wou't marry me.
