The conversation for a moment or two followed the obvious lines. Mme, de Melbain and Louise had drawn | little apart; a few remarks as to th beauty of the chateau and its situa tion passed betwcen Wrayson and the baron. The name of its owne mentioned, and Wr: on indicated his acquaintance with her. At the sound of her name Mme. de Melbain turn somewhat abruptly around., seemed to be listening, but at that moment the door W thrown op. and the major-domo of the houschold. | who had received Wrauy dinner.

The dinner table, with its brilliant and modern appurtenances of flowers and plate, standing in the middle of the! floo; seemed like a minute and yet startling anachronism. The brilliant patches of scarlet geranium, the deen | blue livery of the two footmen, the glitter of the Venectian & upon the table, were like notes of ali ch color among surroundings whos characteristic was a maznifi nd yet such dienity ble to impart into th 3 ness of ecating and dr ing W artainly manifest in meal. which presently took its surely course. Wrayson, although no one could accuse him of a lack of savoir faire. found himself scarcely at his ease. Mme. de Melbain, erect. dignified and beautiful, sat at the head of the table, and, although she addressed a remark to each of them occasionally, she re- mained always unapproachable. The baron made only formal attempts at conversation, and Mile. de Courcelles was absolutely silent. Wrayson was unable to divest himself of the feel- ing of representing an alien presence among a little community drawn closely together by some mysterious tie. Louise was his only link with them, and to Lou he decided to devote himself entirely, regardless of the apparent demands of custom. His position at the table enabled him to do this, and very soon he discovered that it was precisely what was ex- pected of him. The conversation be- tween the others, such as it was. lapsed into German, or some kindred tongue. Wrayson found himself able presently to talk confidentially with Louise. “Remember,” he said, after a slizht pause, “that I have finished alto- gether with the role of investizator. T no longer_have any curiosity about anything. Still, T think that there is something which 1 ought to tell you.” She smiled. u may tell me as much as you she said, “as long as you don't questions: xactly! Well, there is another Englishman staying at the Lion d'Or. He appears to be a decent fellow. and a_gentleman. I am not going to. talk Ast him. I imagine that he is harmless.” “We have heard of him” Louise murmured. “It certainly appears as though he were only an ordinary tourist. Has any ome else arrived?” “Yes!” Wrayson answered, “some one else has arrived, and I want to tell.you about him Louise was obviously disturbed. She refused a course a little impatiently, and turned toward Wrayson anx- iously. . “But the landlord,” she said, in a low tone, “has orders to receive no more guests.”" “This man arrived to luncheon to- day.” Wrayson answered. “The land- lord could not refuse him that. He wished for a room, and was told that he could not be taken in.” “Well. who is he, what is he like?” she demanded. . k- the lei- 'THE AVENGER BY E.

With stiff punctilious- ness. he begged Wrayson to try some wonderful Burzundy, and passed a box of cigarettes. He did not, how- ever, open any topic of tondrsation, and ' Wrayson, embarrassed in his choice of subjects by the fact that remark he could make might sound like his curio In a ver ty, remained also silent. few minutes the baron ros take another glass of ked. too, with_alacrity, refusal. They re- crossed the great hall and entered the drawing room. Louise and Mme. de Mclbain were talking earnestly to- gether in a corner, and from the look that the latter threw at him as they entered, Wrayson was convinced that in some way he was concerned with the subject of their conversation. It was a look deliberate and scrutiniz- ing, in a sense doubtful, and yet not unkindly. Bchind it all, Wrayson felt that there was something which he could not understand, there was something of the mystery in those dark sad eyes which seemed to per- vade the whole atmosphere of “the place and the lives of these people. Louise rose as he approached and motioned him to take her vacated place. “Mme. de Melbain would like to talk to you for a few moments.” she said, quietly. “Afterward, ‘will you como on to the terrace?” e swept away through the open window, and was at once followed by the baron. Mile. de Courcelles was playing very. softly on a grand piano in an unscen corner of the apartment. Wrayson and his hostess were alone. She turned toward him with a faint smile. She spoke with great delib- eration, but very clearly, and there was in her voice some hidden quality, indefinable in words, yet but musical and singularly attractive. “I shall not keep you very long, Mr. Wrayson,” she said. “Louise has been talking to me about you. She is happy, 1 think, to have found a friend so chivalrous and so discern- ing. “ Wrayson smiled doubtfully as he answered. t is very little that I have been able to do for her” he said. “My complaint is that she will not give me the opportunity of doing more.” “You are too modest,” Mme. de Mel- bain said, slowly. “Louise has told me a good deal. I think that you have becn a very faithful friend.” ‘Wrayson bowed, but said nothing. 1f Mme. de Melbain had anything to say to him. he preferred to afford her the opportunity of an attentive silence. Louise and I" Mme. de Melbain continued, “were school friends. So you see that 1 have known her all my jife. She has had her troubles, as I have! Only mine are a righteous judgment upon me, and hers she has done nothing to deserve. It is the burden of others which she fastens upon her back.” (Continued in Tomorrow’s Star.) 1] n attempt at gratifying | nig in the great decline of - < and in comm year and a half ago {and the ulties pliced in the way lof comm 1 borrowers aceelerated the busin eline, But the credit troubles were 1ot the supreme influcnce in the markets re in the erisis { stringency has to turn | the 1 husine or to stop fthe break in stoc cy. durin {the last fow b ng in Wi minder that o rates are mo ceompaniment. of during. & W market s pewhat like wll tunds were offered xchan e | were pressed upon borro while stocks wers i precipitatel N There ha When of tumbling it worst that happen in t discountod age in have 1, on go now 5 o reason L Justing securities busin: s conditio [ Tt has heen the counting trade depr Ly the same manner, an the same extent, t jthe prosperity of two ye ng has reckl Leen conduct <ne; 9.
