CHAPTER I—Continued
—16—
Madame tie I’oniere hesitated for an-
other moment. Perhaps It was some-
thing Ln the almost boyish quality of
Gerald's eagerness which decided her.
This Englishman was at uny rate no
bouleva filler.
“We will await you at that hour,"
she replied. “I trust.” she added, after
a moment's pause, that you will not
consider my hesitation in any wuy dis-
courteous. There are reasons which
make It difficult for my niece and my-
self to accept hospitality.”
Gerald bowed low, and, acting on n
momentary Impulse, raised niadame's
fingers to tils Ups. She yielded them
naturally enough, hut with a little
glance around, almost of fear. Made-
moiselle uIso extended her finger tips,
tie took his leave and was received by
Christopher, who was waiting for him,
with a gaze almost of astonishment.
Gerald was holding himself dl"erently,
tils eyes were filled with a luster which
they had lacked for montns, he was
■lulling ugain In Ills old manner.
“My dear fellow," Christopher ex-
claimed, “what, on earth has hap-
pened?”
“That old devil hns recognized my
existence at last," Gerald declared. “1
had almost to force myself upon her.
Chris, they’re dining with me tonight!"
"Before you say another word,"
Christopher enjoined, "1 want you ft
look at th man on that seat by the
side of the tree. Look at him euro
fully, please.” *
The two young men slackened their
pace. The person whom Chrtstophei
Indicated was a man of medium
height, dr.-ssed, notwithstanding the
heat of the day, in somber black
clothes, and wearing a black bowler
hut. He was dark, and he was, or af-
fected to he, reading n book. Ills com-
plexion was sallow and he wore a
slight black mustache. Ills hair was
unusually long and even covered a
portion of his ears
"Well. 1 see him," Gerald admitted.
“Not much to look at Looks like one
of the chaps who go In for this tub-
thumping up at the far end."
"lie came from that way,” Chris-
topher said, "but the reason I am point-
ing Idin out to you is because lie ap-
peared to recognlz^your two friends
at the same Instant that you did. He
wan walking down between Mint lust
row of chairs. Directly he saw them,
however, he stood qalte still for a
moment. He seemed almost ns
knocked over as you were. Then he
slunk back Into that chair and he
has been watching them ever since."
Gerald attached no undue Im-
portance to the affair.
•Til tell them about It this evening.
If I can remember,” he promised.
"Chris, did you ever know such luck I
She Is more wonderful that ever No
wonder I could never get the feeling
of her out of my blood, the thought
of her from my brain! Her eyes—
Chris, did you ever see such eyes In
your life?"
"Kind of hazel, aren't they?" Chris-
topher hazarded.
"You ass!" Gerald declared con-
temptuously. “They're brown—the
most glorious shade of brown l ever
saw. I’m going to call for them In
South Kensington at a quarter to
eight. Chris. We re going to dine at
Ranelagh."
"So you told me." Christopher ob-
served. smiling.
Gerald’s radiant happiness was not
for a moment disturbed. He took
Christopher's arm. "Chris, 1 know
I now what hns been the matter with
I me all of these months. 1 knew it
directly l saw her sitting there, tired
and miserable, under the trees. I
came up against the real thing and
nexer knew It. 1 am ln love with
Pauline!"
• ••••*•
Pauline leaned hack In her chair
with a little murmur of content.
Through the drooping branches of the
I great plane tree was a fascinating
little vista of scarlet-dad orchestra,
of the terrace with its curving rows
of lights, the little groups of people
sitting about, the waiter* In their
quaint liveries. A breeze rippled In
the tree tops. After the heat of Lon
don. it was a wonderful respite.
"You are very kind." she murmured
to Gerald, "to tiring u* here.”
“1 was very fortunate to meet yo i.”
he declared “Don't you think, after
sll the discouragement 1 have re
I reived. I was very brax’e to come and
beard your aunt?"
"Not so very." she answered "We
xvere two defenseless women, very
sad and weary with life."
"1 wish," Gerald said deliberately,
“that you would tell me more about
*1 yourselves.”
Pauline glanced across i.t her
I aunt, xx! • was leaning back In tier
I chair, also with the appearance of
eyes closed, her air
She looked at him with a flight
smile. Her fuce, however, remained
unsoftened.
"Really? And why should I be-
lieve in you? And what Is there to
believe?”
“That I nm deeply Interested,”
Gerald replied promptly. “In every-
thing that concerns you; that I wish
to be your friend; that I wish-”
She stopped him with a little ges-
ture Instinctively mandatory.
Neither my aunt nor I,” she Inter-
rupted, “are ln a position to accept
more man the simplest acts of good
will from any one. I have tried to
make that clear to you."
“You have,” Gerald admitted, “hut
before I uccept your decision finally,
I shall expect some further explana-
tion”
“We do not belong to your world,"
Pauline said. “We are what you call,
I think, adventuresses.”
“Of a unique type, then." Gerald
declared, smiling. “It is not the usual
action of such people, having met
with a great loss, as you did at Monte
Carlo, to sell their Jexvelry to pay
their hills, end leuve without owing a
penny."
"You are well Informed." Puuline
remarked coldly.
“1 saw your pearl necklace In Des-
fnrde’s, the Jexveler’s."
“I cannot I elleve that Desfordes—"
Pauline began, In apparent agitation.
"The man told me nothing,” Ger-
ald Interrupted. “I recognized the
necklace and 1 bought It."
“You bought my necklace?” she re-
peated incredulously.
"Hoping,” Gerald ventured, “that
some day it would be my privilege to
return It to you.”
She xxns distinctly taken nbnek.
"You lire apparently a rich man,
Lord Donibey, us well as an Imperti-
nent one." she said. “Are you often
subject to these xvhitns?"
“I nm well off." Gerald replied,
that Is to say that 1 have an in
come apart from my allowance. For
the rest, I have never done anything
of the sort before, because I have
never felt the same Inclination."
“I thought that you were rather by
way of being the support of the Indie*

of the ballet at Monte Carlo.” she ob
served. "Did you not entertain them
at supper and that sort of thing?"
"I entertained them at supper oc-
casionally," Gerald admitted, "but
that Is the extent of my acquuintan“e
xvlth them."
"Then there was a child xvhom you
and your friend found at a mountain
farm—she became your ward, did she
not—n pretty child, xvlth large, af-
fectionate eyes?"
"My family has relieved me of my
responsibility In that direction,’ Ger-
ald replied. "She is living down at
Hinterleys with my people. My
father will allow no one else to read
to him. my sister Is devoted to her,
and m.v friend Is In love xvlth her."
"1 still do not understand what
made you buy my pearls,” Pauline re-
marked. nfler a moment's thoughtful

i dltions you contemplated return

“I bought them because I am In
lore with you." Gerald declared.
She turned her head and studied
I him deliberately She was still li ung
tng ln her chair, but she gave him the
! Impression that stie was looking down
i at him.
“That." she said quietly, “is a style
| of conversation which you must keep
! for your dancing ladles or your vil-
! lage maidens."
“It happens to be the truth." he In-
, slsted doggedly.
Once more she looked at him still
; puzzled, but this time a little more
leniently. His dark eyes were aglow
i He was obviously tn earnest.
"You moat forgive me If 1 find your
| methods a little unusual.' she said
I “Do I understand that you are pro-
' posing au alliance ,l"
“I n«k you to do me the honor of
becoming my wife.” Gerwld replied.
Pauline turned to her aunt.

Never mind, my dear,” she re-
joined, "he Is a very amiable young
man and he has given us an excel-
lent dinner.”
Pauline turned back to Gerald,
smiling.
"You see my aunt is quite reason
able about the matter,” she remarked.
“Order some more cigarettes, will you?
And some coffee, I think.”
Gerald obeyed promptly. Then he
leaned forward.
“Madame de Ponlere," he said, “do
I understand that I have your permis-
sion to pay my addresses to your
niece?”
“You must not he foolish," sbe re-
plied soothingly. “We are exceedingly
obliged lo you for giving us dinner in
tills charming place. It is really quite
a revelation to me."
"Mademoiselle de Ponlere," Gerald
continued, appealing to Pauline, “will
you he my wife?”
"Monsieur Lord Dombey,” was the
prompt, but not unkindly reply, "I will
not.”
"Then may I become your suitor,"
he pleaded, “hoping that you will
change your mind when you find that
I am very much tn earnest?"
“It appears to me,” she answered,
“that the office would be a thankless
one.
"I am content to take my chance,”
Gerald pronounced. “I can command
all the usual resources which might
make life more endurable for you. My
personal devotion you are already as-
sured of.
“You had better not tempt us too
far,” Pauline warned him, a little hit
terly. “The good folk at Monte Carlo
were only guessing when they called
us adx—nturesses, hut we are down on
our luck Just now—we might accept
your offer.”
“I will take my risk,” Gerald de-
clared eagerly. "You have given me
encouragement. You have no respon
sihllity. As for the rest, we are all ad-
venturers or adventuresses, more or
less. I nm ln quest of happiness and
I have met no one else except you
who could give It to me."
There was a touch of real feeling ln
her eyes as she glanced toward him,
feeling, however, composed of vary
Ing elements—some curiosity, a tinge
of scorn, an lota of compassion. She
shrugged her shoulders slightly be-
neath her wrap of black lace.
"How long do you remain In London,
Lord Donibey?” she Inquired.
"As long ns I jan be of service to
you," was the quick reply. “I was
going down to Hinterleys soon for
want of something better to do. A
day’s visit there will suffice. I shnll
remain at your service.”
“I am in love with another man,
Pauline assured him.
Gerald considered the matter for a
moment,
T do not believe it,” he declared.
Pauline sighed.
“Nevertheless, It Is true,” she re-
iterated. "He >ls very bnd-tempered,
and if he knows that I am accepting
all these attentions from another mun,
ho will certainly quarrel with you
"I will risk It,” Gerald decided.
‘Hew atn I to get rid of this persist
ent young man?" Pauline asked her
aunt
Madame de Ponlere hnd n great deal
to say about the subject in a rapid
undertone. When she had finished
Puuline turned back to her companion
Sly aunt was very much against n
renewal of our acquaintance,” she told
him, "but, as she Justly remarks, one
must live. This evening has turned
our bends a little—a return to the
fieshpots, you know, and that sort of
thing. You shall be my suitor If you
will. Lord Dombey, but of one thing
you must be very sure—I shall never
marry you.”
"There is another thing of which you
may be equally sure," Gerald rejoined.
“1 shall never leave off trying to per-
suade you to."
“Gallant but pig-headed," Pauline
murmured. “You can Judge of my
aunt's newly found tolerance when I
tell you that she permits us to walk
in the rose garden. 1 want to see
xvhetlier those delphiniums are really
as blue as they seem to be.”
The xxalk in the. rose gardens, al-
thxnigh Gerald welcomed with Intense
satisfaction this new phase ln IPs re-
lations with Pauline, was In some
xvays a *disuppointinent. Pauline
looked around her all the time with
serene pleasure. She was fond of
tlowers; she knew them all by name,
and paused often to admire some won-
derfully fine bloom. She acceded with-
out demur to his suggestion that they
should take one of the small boat*
moored against the bridge and lay
hack among the cushions whilst he
lazily sculled round the small stretch
of water. On the far side of the
island he let the boat drift «nd laid
the oar across hla knees.

This shows that 98 out of every 100

This goes to prove that a medicine

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-Root
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, iD
an interview of the subject, made the as-
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer A Go., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and 'mention this paper.—Advertisement.
