INSTALLMENT X. Armand de Pas, unconscious of all the plans which had been laid for his downfall, had drawn up to the curb in front of Fouquets, in accordance with his promise. Un- abashed by the smiles his ridiculous old car excited, he was eager only to dis- tinguish Alacia among the cocktail- hour throng at the little tables on the sidewalk of the Champs Elysees. Ala- cla, seated just behind a large bearded gentleman, caught sight of Armand be- fore he saw her, and, dropping a 5- franc note beside her untouched cof- fee cup, #an across the sidewalk. “Hello!” she said, climbing in be- side him. “You're ear] “You ere even earlier!” he teased her. *That's & good sign.” “Merely my busin demurely. training,” she| ‘Where are we| ‘Where would you like to go?” “Some place where we are the only | people.” she said at once. “The museums are closed!” he re- marked. “How cbout driving a bit?” “Splendid,” she sighed as she set- tled closer to him. With the reckless- ness of which only a French driver is capable, Armand turned his car around in the very midst of the turbu-| lent thoroughfare and headed out toward Longchamps. During the drive very little wes_said by either of the young people, but their silent happi- ness was eloquent in iiseif. Overhead the great black trees of the Bois soon shut out the inquisitive stars, and traf- fic became infrequent. At Longchamps ‘Armand turned into the broad parking Space before the dark facade of the race track gates. The place was as quiet and deserted as if there had never been a race crowd there only; three hours earlier, and Armand, choos- ing the most shadowy corner, parked the car and drew Alacia toward him. There was a long silence. Another pair of lovers strolled past, arms el twined, dark heads together, equally ob- livious of any other presence. The quiet of the Bois was a vibrant one, for all| through the wooded district scattered couples were making love under the very eyes, sometimes, of symyathetic guardians of the peace, \ently found no peace of importan: disturbed by such indulgence. The Bois de Boulogne was, as always, the| dim back parlor of Paris. Alaci m- | anlike, was_the first to reach a stage | where words became necessary. She | ulled herself out of her lover's em- | race and immediately took his face between her hands. “Handsome!” she said. “This is| what I've been waiting for all my life. ‘What are we going to do about it?” “The usual cure, I suppose!” he sald, | laughing softly. “That is to say, mat- | rimony.” | “Thank heavens. I shan't need my| she breathed. “I was afraid, | that you had some idea of my poverty,” he replied, “I still have| that objection. Bub it may be, at &/ pinch, removable. Wom:n, there is 50| much’ information about me of which you are in shocking ignorance, that I| hardly know how to begin clearing it up!” “I know a part of it,” she said, “my prince!” ‘There was a moment of silence as he sat without immediate Tesponse. “Somehody told you that, eh?” he said presently. “Well. young lady, I hope you no ambition to be Queen of France hould adore it!" she declared And M.

Call me by my name only, will you? The other is “Very well, Armand!” said meekly. “My petit nom is Zizi!” he told her solemnly. “My mother calls me that.” “I'll call you that in odd moments!” she declared hastily. “Zizi! It sounds lke a girl!” “It's a diminutive for Maurice, m second name,” he explained, laughing. “I am American enough to understand | how silly it sounds to you.” 1 “Armand.” she said cagerly, “do tell me more about that American grandAl mother!” He lit a cigarette for her and one for himself and settled back in_the car, his head against her shoulder, blowing rings up into the still air, and it was several minutes before he began to talk. When at last he did it was in a tone of settling down to the dis- patch of an inevitable business. | “T1l make it as short as I can,” he promised. “But you must know all, be-| cause it affects us a great deal. Well | my grandmother was a Miss Nevill. I| believe the family had originally been | called De Nouville, but my grand-| mother’s people had lived in America | ever since her Huguenot ancestors were driven out of France and she was as! American as you are, my sweet! Alors! This grandmother of mine had a sister, Lucy, who never married.” “Bad break!” murmured Alacia sym- pathetically. “No such thing!” he protested. “If she had married we wouldnt have, much chance, because, nice as you are, I would refuse you firmly if I'did not have some hopes of getting her money!” “Is she still alive?” Alacia wanted to know, “because in these days of com- tent beauty parlors an old girl never ows her luck!” “Don't be flippant!” he reproved her with mock severity. “The old lady has ‘been dead 10 years. But she left a will. Now wait, this ancient history takes some explaining: My revered Aunt Lucy was an ardent patriot and thought America the most important and de- lightful country in theé world. Natur- ally, she also believed this royalist busi- ness to be a pack of dangerous non- sense, and perhaps she was right. At any rate she left me something over a million dollars, but only on condition that by the time I am 30 I shall have ed myself capable of making a business success, or some other success such as any ordinary boy might make through his own effort. Eh bien! If I she "QUICKEST WAY TO KNOCK A COLD Millions Say of This Proved Way You Feel Like a New Person accept the old lady’s money I must de- tach myself completely from the Royal- ist party, give up all claims to this shadowy throne, and live a part of every year in America. I might point out that I am 29. There is a year to go, cherle, and while I can’t claim any remarkable success as yet, I have worked hard. Tiens! You see how I commute each day in this chariot of fire, just like any conscientious bour- geois—and enjoy it, mind you!” “You're all right!” said Alacia sud- be: over and kissing him. ‘!'Y(') Te a darling—you're—you're regu- ar! “Bad girl,” he sald tenderly, “listen now, you must know all the rest! M. Piron is one of the trustees under the will, and one of three who are to de- cide on the merits of my success next eir. My aunt met Piron on one of er many trips to Paris, for he has al- ways been 2 friend of my mother. The second trustee is also French, and is the present prefect de police.
