He remembered the ¢ A Tale of Pdlitical (Continued from Yesterday's Star.) The thoughts went rushing through man as he had seemed only a few hours ago, cold, stonily indifferent to young Barnes' passionate questions. inflexibly silent, a man who might easily kindle hatreds, to all appear ance without a roft spot or any hu- man feeling. He remembered the close of their interview, and Sydney Barnes’ rash threat. The suggesied idea clothed itself almost unconsciously with words. ‘I have just seen young Barnes,” he said. “He has been at the Empire all the evening." The colonel lit another cigar. “It takes a man of nerve and delib- eration,” he remarked, “to commit a murder. From what I have heard of him, 1 should not imagine your young i friend to be possessed of either. The lady whom he was entertaining, or rather failing to entertain, at din- ner—-" i “I have seen her since,” Wrayson in- terrupted shortly. She went straight to the Alhambr: The colonel nodded. “I would have insured her against even suspicion,” he remarked. “She was a large, placid woman, of the flabby order of nerves. She will prob ably faint when she hears what ha happened. She might .box a man ears, but her arm would never drive a dagger home into his heart, espe- cially with such beautiful, almost mathematical accuracy. ~We must look elsewhere, I fancy, for the per- son who has paid Bentham's debt to here, has an in- s Wrayson d_across and found that his eyes met Heneage's.

If you can find the murderer of Morris Barnes, you will solve, at the same time the mystery of Bentham's death. It is the same affair; part and parcel of the same tangle. The colonel was silent for a few moments.

Heneage looked past him at Wray- son. “You should ask Wrayson,” he said. But Wrayson had risen, and was sauntering toward the doo “I'm off,” he remarked. looking backward and nodding his farewells. “If I stay here any longer, 1 shali have -nightmare. Time you fellows were in bed, too. How's the Malleni fund, colonel? The colonel's face relaxed. A smilq of genuine pleasure lit up his fea- tures. “Going strong.” he declared trium- phantly. “We shall ship him off for Italy next week with a very tidy little check in his pocket. Dear old Dobson gave us £10, and the concert fund is turning out well.” Wrayson lit a cigarette and looked back from the open door. “You're more at home with philan- thropy than horrors, colonel” he re- marked. “Good night, everybody!" CHAPTER XXI THE FLIGHT OF LOUISE. The baroness was looking her best, and knew it. She had slept well the night before, and her eyes were soft and clear. Her maid had been un- usually successful with her hair, and her hat, which had arrived only that morning from Paris, was quite the smartest in the room. She was at her favorite restaurant, and her soli- tary companion was a good-looKing man, added to avhich the caviare was delightfully fresh, and the toast crisp and thin. Consequently the baroness was in a particularly good temper. “I really do wish, my dear friend she said, smiling across at him, “that I could do what you ask. But it is not so simple, not 8o simple as you think. You say, ‘Give mh the ad- dress of your friend’ You ask me nicely, and I like you well enough to be glad to do it.” But Louise, she say to me, ‘Give no one my address! Let. no one know where T am gone. “I'm sure she didn‘t mean that to apply to me,” Wrayson pleaded. “Ah! but she even mentioned your nameg” the baroness declared. say to her. ‘Not even Mr. W and she. answered, ‘No! No! “And you promised?” he asked. “Why, yes! What else could I do?" she repiied. “I say to her, ‘You are a very foolish girl, Louise. After you have gone you will be sorry. Mr. Wrayson will be angry with vo and I shall make myself very, ve agreeable to him, and. who knows but he will forget all about you ' But Louise she only shake her head. She knows her own countrymen too well. They are 8o terribly insularly constant.” “Is that such a very bad quality, baroness?* “Ah! I find it s0.” she admitted. T do not like the man who can think of only one thing, only one woman at a time. He is 8o dull, he has no imagination. If he has only ome sweetheart. how can he know any- thing about us? for in a hundred different women there are no two alike. “That is all very well,” Wrayson answered, smiling; “but, 'you see, if a man cares very much for one par- ticular woman, he hasn't the least curiosity about the rest of her sex.” She sighed gently, and her eyes flashed her regrets. Very blue eyes they were today., almost as blue as the turquoises about her throat.

She was silent until the waiter, who was filling her glass with white wine, had departed. Then she leaned over toward him. Her forehead was a little wrinkled, her eyebrows raised. She had the half-plaintive air of a child who unjustly whipped. “Yes! I think it 18" she answered. ‘The lover, as I know him, is one who could not be unkind to a wom- an.

He is always their admirer. In the back- ground there may always be what you call the preference, but that is his secret.” Wrayson smiled across the table “This is a very dangerous doctrine, baroness!” he declared. “Dangerous?” she murmured. “For us! Remember that we are a susceptible race.” She flung out her hands and shook her head. Susceptible! She denied it vehemently. “It {5 on the contrary,” she de- clared. *“You do not lose your heads or your hearts very easily, you Eng- lishmen." “You do not know us,” he pro- % you,” she answered. “For myself, T admit it.
