His mind taken off of his roundlnn by these pleasant thoughts he crashes into another auto containing a rman count and a beautiful woman. The woman'’s hat is rulned. Absent-mind-; odly Harry thrusts the remnants of the hat in his pocket and makes his escape. CHAPTER II. Carolyn, Harry's sister, arrives to play hostess, Socrates Prim- mer, a distant relative of Lucy’s, arrives with a hat ‘ntended as a gift to Lucy.

She is in distrac- tion lest her husband should hear of her escapade. She declares that her milliner told her a duplicate of the ruined hat had n_delive to Harry's house. Re- sponding to her demands for the hat Har- ry insists that he knows nothing about it. Lucy Medders and her father arrive and the Count is secreted in the library and Mrs. Blazes in Harry's bedroom. CHAPTER IV, Lucy profeses curiosity | rnmrdlng the room in which Mrs. Blazes | is hidden and Harry is forced to do some | fancy lying. | CHAPTER V. The milliner arrives M, trace the duplicate hat.

Daphne and the Count exchange bitter words and Daphne | refuses to stay in the same room with . him, 8o she enters the room that Mrs. Blazes is concealed in. CHAPTER VII. Harry and Lucy enter the room, accompanied by Mr. Medders, who was busv looking around tha house ! and before Harry could stop him had | o'l:enod the door of the library, where Count was concealed. Explanations followed and the Count played the role of Harry’'s German tutor. FHarry s forced to tell what he has learned and the Count assists him, the deception proves a success. CHAPTER VIII. Things seemed to be running smoothly again when the group ia startled by the sudden appearance of the General, vho I- in a highly nervous state of mind, cused Harrv of eon- culln his vl!o. nnd he demanded t arry’'s protestations were tlle ed upon to calm the General. The General apologizes and s about to leave the room when a loud sneese came from Harry's room. which the General recognizes as his wife's; u he s about to enter the room D walks out and the General is um founded. Tucy gives way to tears and seeks comfort on her father's shoulder. CHAPTER IX. The group stood In a dead silence, broken only by the stified sobs of Lucy and Carolyn, while the heavy tramp of General Blazes died away In! his slamming of the outer door. Harry shook his head doubtfully, as the Count continued to assure him In dumb show that he could clear: things up for him. + “Come, daughter,” Mr. said, “thee must quict thyself. we will go home.” “Aren’'t you going to give me & chance to explain?” Harry asked. “Explain!” Carolyn blazed forth, looking up at them with her eyes red and her cheeks stained with tears. “Explain! How can you explain? Oh, dear! I never should have gone away to school. I should have stayed at home and done my duty by my broth- | er.” “Nonsense, Carolyn,” Harry reproved her. “You simply make things look worse for me by such talk as that.” “How cculd they be any worse for you!” Carolyn demanded. *“Oh, men are wretches! [ suppose they are all alike. [ thought I could trust my | own brother. [—I—even doubt— Pigeon, now!"” The Count smiled grimly at Harry | and shrugged his shoulders. Harry | looked at him in mute appeal, as though asking him to come to the front now with his plan of squaring | things. But the Count was & man of | experience. For all his flippancy and galety, he was man of experience enough to know that when you are going to defend anything or any po- sition which is being attacked you are Detter off it you wait until the attacks ing party has exhausted its ammuni- tion and arguments. 80 he bided his time, while Carolyn gradually relieved her mind by means of tears and recriminations, and while Lucy, who was completely mystified, Medders Then | mendously wrong, slowly arrived at a state of calm on the haven of her fa ther’s shoulder.

"He had concluded to end their visit and take her home, yet he was a fair man and he would te give Harry a chance to come from under the cloud, if he could. “Well, Carolyn,” Harry said at last, say, we will get at the real truth of the matter. Count von Fitz, I think, can tell us something that will at least interest us.” The Count straightened his shoul- ders and took a deep breath. He twisted his mustache thoughtfully, and then flecked an imaginary piece of dust from his lapel. “Ift you vill all sit down,” he ob- served, “I can talk bedder.

Harry lounged on a settee, and carelessly chewed an unlit cigar. “It iss like diss,” the Count said, as though addressing a jury. “In life dare iss many things vich seem im- bossible of explanation, but vich ven ve know vat dey are, do not mean so much.” Mr. Medders bowed assent and Har ry looked at the Count with consid- erable admiration for his self-posses- We sell good fence—made heavy and strong to last.
