NESBIT (Continued from page 2.) summing up of the evidence, “Vell, den,” he resumed. “Vat {ss der natural deductions you draw. Darefore, und consequently, our first conclusion iss dot things look plack for Mr. Swifton. Iss it not so?” They agreed, silently. “But vy should it be so?"” the Count asked, pleasantly. “Iss Mr. Swifton der only man in der house? Iss he der only man in der vorld dot flirts? May I ask vy I, a poor, unknown, un- noticed Cherman—though id iss not 80 in my own country, I assure you! —igs dare any reason vy I should be neglected In your suspiclons?” Lucy and Carolyn looked at each other triumphantly. Here was a ray of hope for Harry, after all. “But,” the Count went on, “I must beg you not to suspect me as you do Mr. Swifton. [ know you vill not, for peebles do not giff such violent r °9- piclon to stranchers as dey do to their own kind. I vill tell you how dis vom- an happens to be in dot room. I sent her dare!” “You did!” Carolyn exclaimed. “Why, I thought Harry—" “Oft course, Miss Swifton,” the Count interrupted her. “Ve vould al- ways giff der benefit off der doubt to any von but our own folks. Is it not s0? Now, vy did I sent her dare? She comes here to see aboud a hat she hass sent to a wrong address. [ recognize in her a lady mit whom I haf? fiirted. You ses, I do not hesitate to acknowledge dot [ haft flirted. Vy should I? [ am in diss country for dot purpose. Ladies flirt mit me—a gallant chentleman vill at least be po- lite enough to respond. Beauty vas effer a veakness mit me. So! Imeet dis lady here—dis milliner. [ engage her in conversations. Ve hear some von coming. She cannot get oud. I tell her to hide in dot room a moment. She hides. But dare is no chance for her to get oud. Und at last, ven it seems dot dare vill be a chance, der explosion comes—und you know der rest.” The Count removed his eyeglass and swung it nonchalantly by its cord. He awalited the verdict. He did not look at Harry at all. - Smilingly, he studied the wall, “Dost thee realize that thee has endangered the name of this wom- an?" Medders asked, in quiet tones. “Not 80,” the Count defended him- self. “I vas protecting it. Dar Chen- eral, und all der rest off you, by mak- ing her come out—you put her in dan* ger.” “Well,” Harry said, after seeming to think the matter over very seri- ously, “l confess that I am surprised by what you have told us. But I think we should make allowances for you. You are unfamiliar with our view of things and of conduct. What seems right to you may seem utterly wrong to us. I am not defending you, but I |. am not condemning you. I only ask you, next time you chat with a mil- liner, not to hide her around here.” This concluding remark of his, ac companied with a sunny smile, broke the temsion, but Carolyn almost spolled everything by saying: “It sounds reasonable enough, but how does it happen that Harry was so determined no one should go into that room?” “I baff no answer,” the Count re plied. “I haff told as much as [ should tell.” . “It looks to me as if he knew what you had done, and was trying to help you out,” Carolyn declared. “It {ll beseems me to offer advice in the house where I am a guest,” said Mr. Medders, “but I might sug- gest to thee that we ask Harry to tell us his side of this story later. It is unfortunate, truly, but I do not doubt that he will explain all to us. Daugh- ter, we will remain here, as we planned, and now let us try to forget this unpleasantness, and make our selves welcome.” “Thank you, Mr. Medders,” Harry sald. “l can see that you and Lucy still have a faint suspicion of me—but I can clear that up readily enough.” “I've got more than a faint one,” Carolya told him. “Oh, well, I don’t have to explain everything to you, sis,” Harry sald, easily. “But arguments are bad on an empty stomach. I happen to know that there's to be a pretty good din- ner tonight, so we'll all get ready and eat it” . “You_ vill excuse me,” tta Counmt SO ) Al *HE EVENING fELEGRAM LAKFLAND, FLA., MARCH 1, 1913, : want you to show the folks that you're o 4 said. “I must—"" “No, sir!” Harry said, heartily. *“I not half as black as you have painted yourself.” (To be contlnued.)‘- —GEORGE T.
