CHAPTER II!.—Continued. “No, no, Alexander; I know that perfectely well,” the Duchess answer- ed, impatiently. “Of course it is not your fault. How can it be your fault? Hobson”—she turned to the tall dark girl—“you have committed a great breach of your duty in leaving the day nursery.” “ll speak to Hobson later, your grace,” Mrs, Alexander said, in a grim significant voice. We had better go at once to Miss Decies’ rooms.” The duchess swept imperiously away, followed by Grant and the two .| nurses, and, at a little interval, by the housekeeper and housesteward both of whom were anxious to be satisfied that all was well. Once more the little party traversed the broad, picture-hung corridor ‘and came out into the gallery, turning this time towards the southern front where Miss Decies’ rooms, which look- ed Piccadilly, were situated. The duchess was first, and arrived at the door just as it opened, and the old lady, with a book in her hand, came quietly out into the gallery. “Oh, Aunt Augusta,” the duchess said, “where is he? Why did you take him away? We have all been so frightened.” . Miss Decies looked calmly at her niece, rather sourly at Grant, and then, beyond him, to the cluster of servants, with a start of surprise. “What are you talking about, Beatrice?” she said. ‘Why did I take him? What do you mean?” “Fitz,” the young mother almost screamed. “Fitz! He isn’t in the nurseries, none of the servants have seen him. We thought you might have taken him.” “When have I interfered with the nurses or the boy?” Miss Decies answered, with tart dignity. “What is this you tell me? Fitz is not in the nurseries? What a pack of non- sense this is! Of course he is in the nurseries; we will soon prove that. Follow me, all of you.” The resolute old lady, with mantling countenance and rigid lips, upright as ever, though she walked a little quick- er than was her wont, swept along the passage, followed by Michael, the duchess, and the servants, and led the way towards the nurseries. In less than a minute they had all crossed the big day-room and were once more in the bedroom. The lights still glow- ed upon the place, the bedclothes of the cot were still tumbled. The duke was not there! The duchess gave a frightened cry and turned instinctively towards Grant—an unconscious movement which was not unmarked by the shrewd, watchful servants. “Where is he, then?” she said, her voice rising higher and higher. “This is terrible. What shall we do?” “Beatrice, Beatrice,” Miss Decies said, “control yourself, my dear. There is some simple explanation of this, I feel sure.” ” Then Grant spoke. “We all hope that this’ may be so, Miss Decies,” he said. “But it seems to me to have exhausted all the sim- ple explanations already. There is something very strange about this, Duchess, as I am here, will you allow me to see—” The duchess broke in. “Oh no, Michael,” she said. ‘Please do. Find Fitz—find him at once.” Remington, the housesteward, step- ped up to Michacl Grant. He recog- nizeq the master mind, as most peo- ple did who had ever been in any crises, sporting or otherwise, when Michael Grant was present. “Will you give your orders, sir?” he asked, in a brisk, anxious voice, quite different from his ordinary pompous utterance. “Will you kind- ly give your orders, sir?” and I will see that they are carried out imme- diately.” “T think,” Grant answered, quickly, “that we had all better go down into the hall and send for the servants. We won’t lose any time. Please all come with me.” He almost ran out of the room, along the corridor into the gallery, and hurried down the vast marble staircase into the hall. The duchess followed him, lithe and graceful as he. Miss Decies came _ resolutely after them, anq the servants hurried behind, the three of them huddled together in alarm. There was only one footman in the hall. “Sound the dinner gong!” Grant said to him quickly. The man alarmed and surprised at the athlete’s hard, authoritive voice, ran across the hall to where the great sheet of dull metal hung between two Chinese dragons. He unhooked the padded stick and smote the gong with that peculiar rubbing stroke that brings out all the thunder of the bronze. The loud alarm rang through the*place, and before the first echoes had died away the butler and two other men came running into the hall. “You,” Grant said to the butler, “will stand by this door’—pointing to the swing doors which led to the small vestibule and the front entrance into Piccadilly. “You will stand here and allow no one to pass on any pretext whatever. There is a back entrance, “Sweet is revenge, especially to a Woman’s Hate 2 See bebeebdelert| “There is, your Grace—Mr. Grant— I beg your pardon, sir.” Grant flushed up. “Take me to it at once,” he said. “Tt iss through the servants’ quar- ters,” Mr. Remington answered. “This way, if you please.” The two men hurried away. Down corridors, through a large room which was full of servants, who start- ed up in surprise and alarm as they passed, through three great kitchens where men cooks in white caps and aprons were moving about, down an- other stone corridor to a massive iron plated door, which led into the small high-walled court yard at the back of the house. “I shall want you, Remington,” Grant said, trying the door and find- ing it securely locked. “I can’t leave you here. Whom can you depend upon?” “Any one of the servants, I should think,” the house steward answered. “But in a case like this it is as well to be certain. I dare say that Mon- sieur Coppin, the chef, wouldn’t mind perhaps if I explained the importance of it.” “Fetch him at once,” Grant broke in. In a minute Remington reappeared with a portly gentleman with a curl- ing black moustache and beard, dress- ed in a black tail coat. In rapid French Grant explained the situation to him. “You will par- don me, m’sieu,” he said, realizing to the full the importance of such an artist as Coppin in a great London house like this was. “You will par- don me if I ask you this service. But something has gone very wrong, something very strange has happened, and I dare not trust a servant. Might I ask you, m’sieu, to sit at the en- trance of this passage yourself, and see that no one goes in or out of the door?” ‘ For a moment, during Grant’s ex- planation, the chef had a slightly of- fended air. Then, when he realized that the little duke had actually dis- appeared, and that, at the moment, he could not be found, his face changed its expression. “But certainly, m’sieu.” he an- swered. “What you ask is a service which I am glad and proud to per- form. I myself, I, Coppin, will act as concierge until a thorough search has been made of the mansion.” Grant bowed, smiling -within him- self at the humor of the situation, and then, followed by Remington, he hur- ried back through the kitchens into the servants’ hall. All the men and women there were broken up into groups and looking towards the pass- age through which Grant and_ the house steward emerged. “Tell them all to go into the hall at once,” the young man said. Remington gave the order, and with a buzz and murmur of wonder, like the noise made by a disturbed hive of pees, the people followed them. In the great hall the duchess was standing, talking rapidly to her aunt. The tears were beginning to fall over the beautiful face, the eyes were growing wide with pain and terror. Something of Miss Decies’ composure seemed to have departed also, and she was patting her niece sympathetically on the shoulder, The butler stood grasping the han- dle of the outer hall door, the footmen dotted the place, trying to look as if they were occupied—signally failing, and casting uneasy glances towards their mistress, which changed into ap- prehension as all the servants of the great house came pouring into the hall. Grant ran up three or four of the stairs and leaned against the marble balustrade. “Now, look here,” he said, “the duke is not in his rooms. Nobody knows where the duke is. We must send search parties all over the house. Mr. Remington, will you kindly make up parties of two, of the servants you can trust, and send them everywhere? I will take two men myself; you will kindly take two men; and duchess, Miss Decies—you will come with us, won't you? We will look for Fitzroy where you think best.” The duchess walked through the crowd to the bottom steps of the stairs. “Yes, yes,” she answered, in a voice absolutely unlike her own, the fright- ened tears glistening on her cheeks like pearls in the brilliant light of the electric lamps which hung from the marble roof. “Yes, yes; let’s be do- ing something quickly. I can’t bear this waiting. Come, where shall we go first?” Remington beckoned to two of the ‘men. “You will go with Mr. Grant,” he said. “To begin with,” the duchess said, “Oh, to begin with, of course, we ought to go back to the nurseries.” She trembled like a leaf as she spoke. “First,” Miss Decies replied, “it would be well to look into every room which opens directly upon the gallery. The boy might have scrambled out of bed to find his nurse, and, as she was not there, he might have wan- ‘ered out into the corridor. He may even be hiding for fun; he might be walking in his sleep. Let us look into every room which opens on to the gallery.”. SMe ta “Yes, you're right, Miss Decies,” Grant answered. “Come, do not let us waste a moment.” He sprang up the stairs, followed by the duchess, the old lady, and the two men detailed to attend on him by the house steward, while Remington him- self began to organize search parties among the remaining domestics below. It was now a little after 10 o'clock, and for half an hour Grant and his companions went through the many rooms opening on to the gallery. Three or four switches were turned up, a flood of light illuminated every recess of the great picture room where the Rembrandts and Mu- rillos hung, and that was shown to be utterly empty. A rabbit could not have hidden in it. Several state bed rooms in which princes and princesses of the Georgian house had stayed took longer to examine, but proved equally void of all information. « They came to Miss Decies’ own apartments, which were three en suite. The little marble bathroom was gleam- ing and empty. A very short examt- nation sufficed to show that the big, prim sitting room, with its Early Vic- torian furniture and all that style of decoration ‘which she had admired in her youth, and which the old lady still clung to resolutely, could not harbor even the most mischievous little boy tempted to play at hide-and-seek. In the bed room it was the same. It was hardly wofth while to open the big mahogany wardrobes and presses, to glance behind the hangings of the vast four-poster bed. Miss Decies had been in the sitting room, which opened into the bed room, for more than an hour, and it was impossible that the child should have hidden in or been conveyed to her apartments, And it was the same with all the remaining rooms which opened on to the gallery. The ball room, the yel- low room, the Louis Quatorze ante- room, the great crimson drawing room, one and all, proved fruitless to their search. At half past ten Grant, the duchess and Miss Decies, the various groups of servants, and the houekeeper and house steward met once more in the great hall. Now a real terror blanched the faces of every one; the excited voices of half an hour ago were hushed. White faces were turned {n mute astonish- ment to one another. Fear brooded over all the splendor of the famous vestibule of 100a, Piccadilly. “Your grace,’ Remington said, in a deep voice which trembled with sorrow and excitement—‘‘your grace, every nook and corner of the house has been searched, and it is certain, as far as human understanding can say, that his grace has gone.” The duchess looked at the man for a moment, swayed a little, and then, without a sound, sank back in a dead faint, being caught just before she would have fallen upon the purple floor by Grant and Miss Decies. They carried her into the small blue drawing room and laid her on a couch, where, within a minute, smelling salts and»Eau-de-Cologne, which Miss Decies produced with automatic sud- denness, revived her. into the world of consciousness white and shuddering, and the first person on whom her eyes fell was Michael Grant. She was very quiet and restrained. “Mich@el,” she said, “Fitzroy has disappeared; there can be no doubt of that. My boy has been taken away. How or why I do not know. Some- thing sinister and terrible has hap- pened in thix house. We must send for his twp guardians at once. Don't you think .o, Aunt Augusta?” “The best and wisest thing to do, my poor Beatrice,” Miss Decies an- swered, her hard old face much moved and altered by the events of the last hour.

His heart was sad, yet his native courtesy was as_ perfect as ever. “Send ze proprietaire to me,” he said to the waiter, and presently mine host ertered. Immediately Serpollet was all beam- ing smiles. “Ah, let me ambrace you! Let me kees you!” he cried in an ecstacy of welcome. “But why do you want to embrace me, sir? I don’t understand.” “Ah, saire, ut look at zees beel.” “Your bill? Yes; but what of it?” “Vot of it? Vy, it means zat I s’all nevaire, nevaire see you again, dear saire.” Talk About 25-Cent Gas. You probably were not aware that Texas has enormous beds of lignite that can be turned into heating and illuminating gas, profitably, at one- half the price your gas bills call for, put it’s a cold fact, nevertheless. In- deed, one of the best engineers in Houston tells the Chronicle that gas from Texas lignite could be made and sold in Houston for 25 cents per 1,000 feet. When we get the drainage, sew- erage and water extension work un- der way and the bayou improvement safe in the hands of the contractor it might be well for city hall to go deeper into this matter of gas rates, All Is Fair in Love and War.

It makes all the difference between a really attractive home and one at which you wouldn’t take a second glance._ And it makes a big difference in the price the property will bring on the market. As to the exterior, a good deal de- pends upon the size and architecture of the house, and upon its surround- ings. For a good interior effect you must consider the size of the rooms, the light, etc. * You can avoid disappointment by for both exterior and interior painting, which can be had free by writing Na- tional Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building, New York, and asking for Houseowner’s Painting Outfit No. 49.
