| 'I'Ile Glory of the Nation “Thousands Will See It!” By ADELE GARRISON Why Did Mr. Diake Ask “Do You Happen to Know Robert’Gordon?” “Here’s the missing chatelaine of the castle, Drake, properly penitent.” Dicky led me forward to meet the guest he had brought home with him for dinner with g little air of pride which I secretly reseited. He, be-| haved exactly as if he were showing oft some possession that he had pur- chased, I felt decidedly foolish as I stood before this unknown with my arms full of his flowers. Dicky had insisted upan piling the roses Mr. Drake had ‘dbrought as a dinner courtesy into my arms before I came downstairs, | and with the strong consciousnese of _looking Tidiculous upon me 1 could hardly summon courage to raise my eyes to thase of my guest: “Do-you always reward tardiness in .| & hostess in this way, Mr. Drake?” I @ATURDAY coNTINnVOVS 10420 Windew and %oies Our fine and Jong experi- | mce: insure - satisfactory!

There was no trace of accent in his voice, however, even though his next words were hardly those in which the ayerage American would couch his recognition of a courtesy done him, “My poor are ‘too much honored,” he said: impressively. “T' am afraid they are tgo: heavy for yo! shall put them in water directly,” I returned. “Dicky, will you get that tall brown jar in'the library Dicky obediently departed ,and I put the roses on a tabie’ near me, and busied myself in their arrangement.

For there ‘wasd something in thou eyes that disquieted me, .which made me want to lower my.own, Oddly attractive eyes ; they were, with long lashes that any woman might envy. But there was nothing womanish 'in the expression of the eyes which I had caught when their OF A about the man, too, that I recognised in spite of the distaste I felt for the mental scrutiny which I knew he was giving me. After that first long, keen, searching glance at me he was care- ful, or so I imagined, not to startle me again by any direct glance. But I had a quéer - consaciousness that there was' no movement, no utterance of mine that escaped his careful | study. I think I have never met so well informed a man as our guest of that eventhg. A cosmopolits to his finger tips, and with an'unusual gift of turn- ing’effective phrases, his vivid word pictures carried us into the world’s busiest marts, and its most remote places, while we_listened' spellbound. 2 A:'nd then came the key to the situa- lon! Carelessly, and I could not help but admire the adroitness with which he did it, he followed an account of his visit to & South American city with an {hnoeent ¢pmrln¢ ttle question: + “Met a quper old chap there whom I've wanted to meet again ever since.

It was a glance as keen as a rapier’s point that had flashed at me from the gray wyes behind the feminine lashes, lashes which I felt instinctively their owner must find convenient as a mask béhind which he could watch and ap- praise. people. So searching was the glance that he had given me that it startled, even n]-nned me. It made me wonder vaguely if-there might not be some | unknown motive behind the eagerness. with: whith this. new acquaintance of Dicky’s had accepted his invitation to our home. . The look he gave me was exactly the kind he would have be- stowed upon some one whom he had planned to meet beforehand. And yet I knew that I never had seen or even heard of this man whose eyes I could feel were still appraising me. I was glad when Dicky came back with the brown jar for which I had sent him. He had thoughtfully filled it 'with water, and I lingeréd over the placing of the roses within it, hoping that Dicky’s usual flow: of conversa. tion would take the stranger’s atten- tion from me. The Situation’s Key. But my hope was vain. True, he listened to Dicky’'s talk—I had almost written chatter—for I ‘felt an un- accountable and uncalled for irrita- tion at my husband’s unusual logua- ciousness, with every appearance of interest. But there was more than the usual courtesy due a hostess in the manner in’which he managed to include me in every turn of the con- versation all through the dinneér which Katie, pale, but with no other trace of the strange agitation in which I had found her earlier in the day, served us. Katie had outdone herself in the preparation of the dishes. They were delicious, and her service was very ood indeed. = But my housewifely ‘wtide in the success of the meal was spoiled by the behavior of our guest. And yet there was nothing in his actions to which I cauld have taken the least exception. It was simply that he appeared to be studying me. I felt as if I were some queer species of insect under the mlcroseope of a scientist. There was a subtle fascination THEDA BARA DOES IT AGAIN!
