But his cigar wae so good that be was determined not to stir until the coal began to tickle the end of his nose. Since Molly knew where he was there was no occasion to worry. Abbott came in, pulled a cigarette case out of bis pocket, and impatiently struck a match. His hands shook a little and the flare of the match re vealed a pale and angry countenance. “Hey, Abbott, here's a seat. Get your second wind." "Thanks." Abbott dropped into the chair and smoked quickly. "Very stuffy out there. Too many.” “You look it. Having a good time?" "Oh, fine!” There was a catch In the laugh which followed, but Harri- gan’s ear was not trained for these subtleties of sound. "How are you making out?” “I’m getting acclimated. W’here’s the colonel tonight? He ought to be around here somewhere.” “I left him a few moments ago." “When you see him again, send him in. He’s a live one, and I like to hear him talk.” "I'll go at once," crushing his ciga rette in the Jeypore bowl. “W hat's your hurry? You look like a man who has Just lost his job.” "Been steering a German countess. She was wound up to turn only one way, and I am groggy. I'll send the colonel over. By-by." "Now, what's stung the boy?’’ Nora was enjoying herself famously. The men hummed around her like bees around the sweetest rose. From time to time she saw Courtlandt hovering about the outskirts. She was glad he had come; the lepidopterist is latent or active in most women; to Impale the butterfly, the moth, falls easily into the daily routine. She was laughing and Jesting with the men. Her mother stood by, admiringly. This time Courtlandt gently pushed his way to Nora's side. “May I have a dance?” he asked. "You are too late,” evenly. She was becoming used to the sight of him, much to her amazement. “I am sorry.” "Why, Nora, I didn’t know that your card was filled!" said Mrs. Harrigan. She had the maternal eye upon Court landt. “Nevertheless," said Nora sweetly, "it is a fact.” “I am disconsolate,’’ replied Court landt, who had approached for form's sake only, being fully prepared for a coquette. 1 know my heart; I know It well." "Is there another?” In despair. "Once upon a time, Donald, there was. There is nothing now but ashes. I am telling you this t>o that It will not be so hard for you to return to the old friendly footing. You are a brave man. Any man Is who takes his heart In bis band and offers It to a woman. You are going to take my hand and prom ise to be my friend always.” "Ah, N ora!” “You m ustn’t. Donald. I can’t return to the ballroom with my eyes red. You will never know how a woman on the etage has to fight to earn her bread. And th at part is only a skir mish compared to the ceaseless war men wage against her. She has only the fortifications of her wit and her presence of mind. Was 1 not abducted in the heart of Paris? And but for the cowardice of the man, who knows w hat might have happened? If I have beauty, God gave It to me to wear, and wear It I will. My father, the padre, you and the Barone; I would not trust any other men living. 1 am often unhappy, but I do not Inflict this unhappiness on others. Be you the same. Be my friend; be brave and fight it out of your heart.” Quickly she drew his head toward her and lightly kissed the forehead. "There! Ah, Donald, I very much need a friend.” "All right, Nora," bravely Indeed, for the pain in his young heart cried out for the ends of the earth in which to hide. “All right! I’m young; ma>- be I’ll get over it in time. Always count on me. You wouldn't mind going back to the ballroom alone, would you? I’ve got an idea I'd like to smoke over it. No, I’ll take you to the end of the conservatory and come back. I can't face the rest of them just now.” Nora had hoped against hope that It was only infatuation, but In the last few day? she could not ignore the truth that he really loved her. She had thrown him and Celeste together in vain. Poor Celeste, poor lovely Celeste, who wore her heart upon her sleeve, patent to all eyes save Don ald’s! Thus, it was with defined pur pose that she had lured him this night into the garden. She wanted to dis illusion him. The baron, glooming in an obscure corner of the conservatory, saw- them come in. Abbott's brave young face deceived him. At the door Abbott smiled and bowed and returned to the garden. The Barone rose to follow him. He had taken but a step forw-ard, when a tableau formed by the door, causing him to pause irresolutely. Nora was face to face at last with Flora Desimone. “I wish to speak to you,” said the Italian abruptly. "Nothing you could possibly say would interest me," declared Nora, haughtily and made as if to pass. "Do not be too sure,” insolently. Their voices were low, but they reached the ears of the Barone, who wished he was anywhere but here. He moved silently behind the palms toward the exit. "Let me be frank. I hate you and detest you with all my heart,” con tinued Flora. “I have always hated you, with your supercilious airs, you, whose father . . "Don't you dare to say an ill word of him !" cried Nora, her Irish blood throwing hauteur to the winds. "He is kind and brave and loyal, and I am proud of him. Say what you will about me; it will not bother me in the least.” CHAPTER XIII. Courtlandt Tells a Story. The colonel and his guests at lunch eon had listened to Courtlandt without sound or movement beyond the occa sional rasp of feet shifting under the table. He had begun with the old familiar phrase—"I've got a story.” “Tell it,” had been the instant re quest. At the beginning the men had been leaning at various negligent angles— some with their elbows upon the table, some with their arm s thrown across the backs of their chairs. The par tridge had been excellent, the wine de licious, the tobacco irreproachable. Burma, the tinkle of bells in the tem ples, the strange pictures in the bazaars, long journeys over smooth and stormy seas; romance, moving and colorful, which began at Ran goon, had zig-zagged around the world, and ended in Berlin. “And so." concluded the teller of the tale, "that is the story. This man was perfectly innocent of any wrong, a victim of malice on the one hand and of injustice on the other.” “Is that the end of the yarn?” asked the colonel. "Who in life knows what the end of anything is? This is not a story out of a book." Courtlandt accepted a fresh cigar from the box which Rao passed to him, and dropped bis dead weed Into the ash-bowl. W ashington, I).
