But tbe aubaiiadur at a wblipered i

A commotion enept through the
scattered groups In the foycr-a mur
mur, a ruMle, a whisper that resolved
itself at last Into tho excited phrases:
"llic widow has arrived!" 'Twenty
millions and unincumbered!" "Widow
of Ksdona, tbe animated money bag!"
"A Monte C'rlato fortuno fur soma
lucky man!" "Hir name Is Bonis Ba
dowa; twenty millions red hair, too.
but a beauty!" "Twenty mllllona!"
"Tbe Merry Widow!"
Down tbe atalrway from the dresa
tng rooms and Into tbe aalon awept a
woman-young, beautiful, vivacious. A
light of mischief danced In her great
dark eye. '
iter tnaasei of auburn hair ihone
like au aureole above ber rather
pale, delicate face. About ber hovered
a half score of gallants, all vying for '
a word, a look, from tbe beauty (and
fortune) of the I'arls season.
Two men-tbo Marquis of Catcada
and the Count de 8t. Brioche were
lucky enough to claim for a moment
or two her attention. )
"No, nor Bonta waa aaylng In pro
test. "At borne. In Morsovla, men don't
make aucb pretty speeches. Courtship
there Is very primitive and marriage
ta for life. When a man makes love to
another's wife, be la promptly shot
When a wife flirts, ber husband heata
ber black and blue a good plan. 'Why
not try It In I'arls?"
"Deligbtf uir exclaimed Caicada. "Do
you know, madame, we have been
counting tbo moments until you ap-
peered?" I
"I can well believe It," assented So
nla. "It muit have been just Ilka
counting money. i
"Ob, madamei" protested tne group,
horrified.
"Don't I know?" retorted Sonla, a
Utile bitterly. "It'a alwaya like that
People count me like ao much money.
If It U coarse for me to say ao, re
member I'm a farmer'a daughter and
that in my country people call a apade
a spade."
PopoaT and Natalie came hurriedly in
to pay their respects to tbe guest upon
whoa Maraovla'a hopes ao depended.
At a algn from the ambaaaador the oth
ers draw bac,k.
"So you were shocking soma of our
Parte galtanta?" beamed the ambaaaa
dor. "What a child of nature you
are!"
"You mean," countered Sonla, "that 1
am a peasant dressed up. How I wish
sometimes that I were a real peasant
again!"
"Ah!" chuckled Popoff. "Child of na
ture, true child of nature, alwaya
remembering the dear old daya on the
farm-tho bleating of tbe plga, tbe new
laid milk, the tomatoes freshly dug
up and all the simple Joys of the coun
try! But I want you to meet tonight
some of our Marsovlan nobility for
Instance, Prince Danllo, a charming
young fellow. He'll be hero presently.
Danllo la"-
But tbe mischief bad died out of
Sonla'a ayes. Her face was paler than
waa Ita wont, and there wus a stern
look aa of pain about tbe daintily
chiseled mouth.
"I have already met Prince Daullo,"
ahe aald curtly.
"Reallrr cried Popoff. Then, not
ing her change of expression, he added
rwtth apprehension:
"I hope It waa not on one or ms wei
daya a charming, lovable youngster
tn spite of hls"-
"I am not Interested lu hearing about
him," broke In Sonla In a curiously
level, emotionless voice. "It waa long
ago that we met. Ha will have forgot
ten me even aa aa 1 have forgotten
him. Let ua talk of something else,
please."
Even Popoff could see something waa
seriously amiss.
