Oh, atubborn Dutchman that ba had
haont Blind fool! To hare run away
Instead of flfhtlng to the last ditch for
his happiness! Tha Desimone woman
was right; It had taken him a long
time lo coma to the conclusion that
aha done him an III turn. Ills Jsw set,
and tha pressure of hts lips broke the
awaap of hto mustache, converting It
Into bristling tufts, warlike and reso-
lute.
What of tha pretty woman In tha
Taverns Royals? What about her? At
wbopa bidding hnd abe followed him?
Ona or tha other of thsm bad not told
tha truth, and ha waa Inclined to be-
lieve that tha prevarication had Ita
source In tha pomegranate lips of tha
Calabrian To give the old barb one
more twist, to learn If Ita venomous
point still held and hurt; nothing
would have afforded tha diva more de-
light.
Whan the taxicab Joined tha long
Hne of carriages and automobiles op-
posite the Austrian ambaaaador'a,
Courtlandt awoha to the dismal and
. disquieting fact that he had formo-
lated no plan of netton. Ha had dona
no more than to give the driver hla
directions; and now that ha had ar-
rived, ha had the choice of two alter-
natives. Ha could wait to see her
coma out or return at ones to hla hotal.
which, as subsequent events affirmed,
would hove been the more sensible
course. He would have been confront*
ed with email difficulty In gaining ad-
■taalon to the house. He hnew enough
of these general receptions; the an-
nouncing of hla name would have eon-
veyed nothing to the host, who knew
perhaps a third of hla gueata, and
many of these but allghUy. Hut such
nn adventure was distasteful to Court
landL He could not everatep certain
recognised boundaries of convention,
and to enter a man's house unasked
waa colossal Impudence. Beyond thla,
be realised that he could have acconi
pltshed nothing; the advantage would
have been hers. Nor could he meet
her sa she came out, for again the
odds would have been largely In her
favor. No, the encounter must be
when they two were alone. She muat
be surprised. She must have no time
to use her ready wit. An idea pre-
sented Itself. It appealed to him at
that moment as quite clever end
feasible.
“Walt!" he called to the driver.
He dived among tha carriages and
cars, and presently he found what be
aought—bar limousine. He bad taken
the number Into hla mind too keenly
to he mistaken. He eaw the end of his
difficulties; and La want about the af
fair with hla usual directness. It was
only at rare times that he ran hts head
Into a cul-de-sac. If her chauffeur waa
regularly employed in her service, he
would have to return to the hotel; but
If he came from the garage, there was
hope. Every men la said to have bis
price, and a French chauffeur might
prove no notable exception to the rule.
“Are you driver for Madame da Tos-
cana?" Courtlandt asked of the man
lounging In the forward seat.
The chauffeur looked hard at his
questioner, and on finding that he sat-
isfied the requirements of a gentle-
man, grumbled an affirmative. The
limousine waa well known In Parts,
and he was growing weary of these
endless Inquiries.
"Are you i^i her employ directly, or
do you come from the garage?"
"I sm from the garage, but 1 drive
mademoiselle's car most of the time,
especially at night. It Is not mud&me
but mademoiselle, monsieur."
“My mistake." A slight pause. It
was rather a difficult moment for
Courtlandt. The chauffeur waited
wonderlngly. "Would you like to make
live hundred francs?"
“How. monsieur?'*
Courtlandt should have been warned
by the tone, which contained no un-
usual Interest or eagerness.
“Parmlt me to romaln In mademoi-
selle's car till she comes. I wish to
ride With her to her apartment."
The chauffeur laughed. He stretched
his legs. “Thanks, monsieur. It Is*
very dull waiting. Monaleur knows a
good Joke."
A vd to Courtlandt'a dismay he resi-
tted that his proposal bad truly bean
ftece. ted as a Jest
*1 an no* Joking.
I an la
Five hundred franca On the word o*
a gentleman I mean mademoiselle no
harm I am known to her. All she
has to do la to appeal to you, sad you
can atop the car sad aummoa the po-
lice"
The chauffeur drew la hts lege sad
loaned toward bis tempter "Monsieur,
If you are not Jesting, then you are a
madman. Who are you? What do I
know about you? I never sew you be-
fore, and for two seasons I have driv-
en mademoiselle In Parts. She wears
beautiful Jewels tonight. How do I
know that you are not a gentlemanly
thief? Hide home with mademoiselle!
You are crazy Make yourself scarce,
monsieur; la oat minute I shall call
the police."
"Blockhead!"
English of this order the Frenchman
perfectly anderstood. "La, la!" be
cried, rising to execute his threat.
Courtlandt waa furtoua, but hla fury
was directed at himself as much aa ut
the trustworthy young man getting
down from the limousine Hie eager-
ness had led him to mistake stupidity
for cleverness. He had gone about the
affair with all the clumsiness of a boy
who waa making hla first appearance
at the stage entrance It was mightily
disconcerting, too. to have found an
honest man when he waa In desperate
need of a dishonest one. He had faced
with fine courage all aorta of danger-
ous wild animals; but at this moment
he hadn't the courage to face a po-
liceman and endeavor to explain. In a
foreign tongue, a situation at once so
delicate and so singularly open to mis-
construction. 8o, for the second time
In his life l.e took to bis heels. Of
the first time, more anon. He scram
bled back to hla own car. slammed the
door, and told the driver to drop him
at the Grand However, he did not re-
turn to the hotel.
Mademoiselle da Toscana’s chauf-
feur scratched his chin In perplexity.
In frightening off his tempter he rec-
ognised that now he would never b«
able to find out who he was. He should
have pluyed with him until mademoi-
selle came out. She would have known
Instantly That would have been the
time for the police. To hide In the
car! What the devil! Only a mad
man would have offered such a propo-
sition. The men had been either nn
American or an Englishman, for all
his accuracy In the tongue. Bah! Per-
haps he had heard her sing that night,
and had come away from the Opera,
moonstruck. It was not an Isolated
case. The fools were always pester-
ing him, but no one had ever offered
so uncommon a bribe; five hundred
francs. Mademoiselle might not be-
lieve that part of the tale. Mademoi
aelle was clever. There was a stand-
ing agreement between them that ahe
would always give him half of what-
aver was offered him In the way of
bribes. It pwld. It was easier to sell
hla loyalty to bar for two hundred and
fifty franca than to betray her for five
hundred. Bhe had yet to find him un-
truthful, and tonight he would he aa
frank aa ha had always been.
But who waa this fellow iu the Ba-
varian bat, who patrolled the side-
walk? Ha had been watching him
when the madman approached. For
an hour or more he had walked up
and down, never going twenty feet be-
yond the limousine. He couldn’t see
the face. The long dark coat had a
military cut about the hlpa and shoul-
ders. From time to time he saw him
glance up at the lighted windows. Eh.
well; there were other women In the
world besides mademoiselle, several
others.
He had to wait only half an hour for
her appearance. He opened the door
and saw to It that she was comfort-
ably seated; then he paused by the
window, touching hla cap.
"What is It, Francois?"
"A gentleman offered me five hun-
dred francs, mademoiselle. If I would
permit him to hide In the car.”
Five hupdred franca? To hide In
the car? Why didn't you call the po-
lice r
'T started to, mademoiselle, but he
ran away."
Oh! What waa he like?" The
prims donna dropped the bunch of
roses on the seat beside her.
"Ob. he looked well enough. He had
tha air of a gentleman. He was tall,
with light hair and mnstaehe. But as
1 had never seen him before, and aa
mademoiselle wore some fine Jewels,
1 bade him be off."
‘Would you know him again?"
'Surely mademoiselle."
•The next time anyone bothers you.
call the police. You have done well,
and 1 shall remember lb Home.”
The man In the Bavarian hat hur-
ried back to the third car from the
limousine, and followed at a reason-
ably safe distance.
She shut off the light and closed her
eyes. She reclined against the cushion
once more, striving not to think. Once,
her hands shut tightly. Never, never,
never! She pressed down the burnlqg
thoughts by recalling the bright
scenes st the ambassador’s, the real
generous applause that had followed
her two songs. Ah, how that man
Paderewski played! They two had
cost the ambassador eight thousand
francs. Fame and fortune! Fortune
she could understand; but fame! What
was It? Upon a time she believed she
had known what fame was; but that
had been when she was striving for
It A glowing article In a newspaper,
a portrait In a magazine, rows upon
rows of curioua eyes and n patter of
hands upon hands; that was all; and
for thla she had given the best of her
life, and ahe was only twenty-five.
The limousine stopped at last The
man In the Bavarian hat saw her
alight Hla car turnad and disappeared.
It had taken him a week to discover
where the lived. Hla lodgings were
on tbs other side of the Seine. After
reaching them be gave crlap orders to
the driver, who set hla machine off at
top speed. The man In tha Bavarian
hat antered hla room and lighted the
gas. 1 be room was bare end cheaply
furnished. He took off his coat but
retained hla hat. pulling It down still
farther over his syea. HU face waa al-
ways In shadow A round chin, two
full red llpa. scantily covered by a
blond mustache were all that could ba
seen. He began to walk tbe Boor tm
;>stiently, stopping and listening when-
ever he heard a a >und. He waited
see than an hour for the return of tha
car. It brought two men. They were
well-dressed, smoothly-shaven, with
keen eyes and Intelligent faces Their
host, who had never eeea either of hts
guests before, carelessly waved hie
hand toward tha table where there
were two chairs. He himself took hie
etaad by the window and looked out
aa be talked. In another hour the room
was <tyk and the street deserted.
la the meantime the prime donna
gave a algh of relief. She was home
It waa nearly two o'clock. She would
alaep Mil noon, and Saturday and Sun-
day would ba hers. She went up the
etalru Instead of taking the lift, and
though the hall was dark, aha know
her way. She unlocked the door of
tbe apartment and entered, swinging
the door behind her. Aa the act wax
mechanical, her thoughU being other-
wise engaged, she did not notice that
the lock failed to click. The ferrule
of a cane had prevented that.
She flung her wraps on the divas
and put thu rosea la aa umpty bowl
The door opened eoftly, without notes
Next, she stopped before tbe mirror
over the mantel, touched her hair
lightly, detached tha Mara of emeralds
and became as Inanimate as
marble. She saw another face. She
never knew how long the Interval of
otlenco waa. She turned slowly.
"Yes. It la I!" said tbe man.
Instantly she turned again to the
mantel and picked up a magaxlne re-
volver. She leveled It at him.
"l.eave this room, or 1 will shoot."
Courtlandt advanced toward her
slowly. "Do so." he said. "I should
much prefer a bullet to that look."
"I am In earnest" She waa very
white, but her hand waa steady.
He continued to advance. There
followed a crash. The amell of burn-
ing powder filled the room. The Bur-
mese gong clanged shrilly and whirled
wildly. Courtlandt felt hla hair atir la
terror.
"You muat hate me Indeed." he said
quietly, as the sense of terror died
away. He folded his arms. “Try
again; there ought to be half a dosen
bullets left. No? Then, good-fey!”
He left tbe apartment without another
word or look, and as the door elosed
behind him there was a kind of finality
In the clicking of the latch.
The revolver clattered to the floor,
and tbe woman who bad fired It leaned
heavily against tha mantel, covering
her eyes.
"Noray Nora!” cried a startled voice
[ from a bedroom adjoining. "What has
happened? Mon Dteu, what la It?" A*
pretty, sleepy-eyed young woman. In
a night-dress, rushed Into the room.
She flung her arms about tbe singer.
“Nora, my dear, my dear!”
“He forced hie way In. I thought
to frighten him. It went off accident-
ally. Oh. Celeate, Celeste. I might
have killed him!"
The other drew her head down on
her shoulder, and listened. She could
hear voices In the lower hall, a ahout
of warning, a patter of steps; then the
hall door slammed. After that, silence,
save for the faint mellowing vibraMona
of the Burmese gong.

Here Is a model from Gautier of

over white figured net and a tunic of
net finished with a broad band of silk

This la the style which has com-
manded the most attention for mid-
summer. Tbe long sleeves of net, or
chiffon, are featured In the majority
of gowns, and a tunic of some sort Is
everywhere present. This dress Is
particularly cool looking and particu-

Remarkable Breed of "Banker Ponies"
Natives of tho Coast of
North Carolina.
On the coast of North Carolina there
are several miles of low, sandy shore
where nothing grows except a ooarse
grass, a few salt water weeds and wild
parsley. On these banka Uvea a strange
breed of half-wild horses known aa
"banker ponies.". These creatures are
generally about twice the else of Shet-
land ponies. Every year the herd
owners drive the "bankers" Into pens,
brand tbe foala with the proper mark,
and catch some of the older animals
to oell to tho dealers.
North Carolinians say that tha boasts
must bo starved Into eating grain, bay
or grass, for they have always Uvad
oa tha rank salt marsh grass of tha
marshes and on fish. They catch tha
fish for themselves at low Ude; with
their hoofs they dig deep holes In tha
sand below high-water mark, and when
the Mde falls they greedily devour the
fish that are stranded In thane holes.
Often they fight brtoky over an set
daily tamptlng morsel.
In captivity these strange horses era
Intelligent, but seldom are even In
temper. Once tamed, they make ex-
cellent draft animals, for they have
a strength that to dlsproporMdnate to
their size. Foals that are bred from

A SIMPLE style for dressing the
A hair is pictured here. It employs
the large shell hairpins that have met
with growing favor thla season, and
dispenses with any other decoration.
The front hair Is waved about the
face for thla style and parted at the
left side In a long part extending from
the crown of the head to the forehead.
It Is combed over the temples and
lies In large waves about the face to
the cheek. Just In front of the ear, a
little above the lobe.
At this point the hair Is turned
lack and pinned at each aide. Here
A to all combed in together to make
the back hairdressing
For this the hair Is parted in two
ctxands and one of these is braided
loosely, or twisted. Thle braid la
colled at the back around the remain-
ing strand and pinned down to the

head with wire pine. The remaining
end Is fluffed and pinned to the crown,
with Ita enda thrust under the hair
at the top crown. Small, invisible
pins are placed In the waves at the
front and wherever needed to keep the
hair In place, for neatness must be
featured in all tbe new styles of hair-

The two large shell pins are orna-

There’s a good deal of satisfaction
and comfort in bitting upon tbe right
thing to rid on* of the varied and
constant ailments caused by coffee
drinking.
"Ever since I can remember,"
writes aa Ind. woman, "my father
baa been a lover of hto coflee, but the
continued uee of It ao affected bis
stomach that he could scarcely eat at
times.
"Mother had coffee-headache and
lUrrinoee. and If I drank coffee for
breakfast I would taste It all day and
usually go to bed with a headache.
“One day father brought home a
pkg. of Postum reoommended by our
grocer. Mother made It according to
directions on the box and It Juat "hit
the spot" It hea a dark, seal-brown
color, changing to golden brown when
cream to added, and a snappy taste
similar to mild, high-grade coffee, and
we found that Ita continued use speed-
ily put an end to all our coffee tils.
“That was at least ten yeara ago
and Postum has, from that day to
thla, been a standing order of father’s
grocery bill.
“When I married, my husband was
n great coffee drinker, although he
admitted that It hurt him. When I
mentioned Postum he said he did not
like the taste of It I told him 1
could make it t&ate all right. Ha
smiled and said, try It The result
was a success, he won’t have any-
