CHAPTER II.
XACTLY a week later, at five
minutes after midnight, Guy
l'oyuiou, ia Immaculate eve
ing dress, entered the Cafa
Montmnrtie In TarU. He made bis
way through the heterogeneous little
crowd of men and women who were
drinking at the bar, past the scarlet
coated orchestra, Into the Inner room,
wnere tne taoies were laid for supper.
wonsieur Alfred, satlsBed with the an
pearance of his new client, led him at
once to a small table, submitted the
wine carte and summoned a waiter,
With some difficulty, as his French
was very little better than his Ger
man, be ordered supper and then,
lighting a cigarette, leaned back
against the wall and looked round to
see if he could discover any English
or Americans.
The room was only moderately full,
for the hour was a little early for this
quarter of Paris. Nevertheless he-was
quick to appreciate a certain spirit of
Eohemlanism which pleased him. Ev
ery one talked to their neighbors. Arl
American fromTtle'TUrthftt end of the
room raised his glass and drank his
health. A pretty, fair haired girl lean
ed over from her table and smiled' at
him.
"Monsieur like talk with me, eh?"
"English?" he asked.
"No. De Wien!"
He shook his bead smilingly.
"We shouldn't get on," he declared.
"Can't speak the language."
Ehe raised her eyebrows with a pro
testing gesture, but he looked away
and opened an illustrated paper by bis
side. He turned over the pages idly
enough at first, but suddenly paused.
He whistled softly to himself and
stared at the two photographs wblcb
filled the sheet
"By Jove!" he said softly to himself.
There was a rustling of skirts close
to bis table. An unmistakably English
voice addressed blm.
"Is It anything very Interesting? Do
show me!"
He looked up. Mile. Flossie, pleased
with his appearance, had paused on
her. way down the room.
"Coma and sit down, and I'll show it
you," ne sam, rising, -iou re udbubu,
aren't you?"
Mile. Flossie wared temporary
adieu to her friends and accepted the
Invitation. He poured her out a glass
of wine.
Stay and have supper with me," he
begged. "I must be off soon, but I'm
tired of being alone. This is my last
night, thank goodness!"
"All right!" she answered gayiy. "i
must go back to my friends directly
afterward."
"Order what you like," he begged.
"I can't make these chaps understand
me."
She laughed and called the waiter.
"And now show me what you were
looking at in that paper," she Insisted.
He pointed to the two photographs.
"I saw those two together only a
week ago," he said. "Want to near
about It?"
She looked startled for a moment
and a little incredulous. "'
"Yes, go on!" she said.
Wa told her the story. She listened
with an Interest which surprised him.
Once or twice when be looked up he
fancied that the lady from Vienna was
also doing her best to listen. ,Wben
be had finished their supper had ar
rived. 1 .
"I think," she said a she helped her
self to hors d'oeuvre, "that you were
very fortunate to ger away.
He laughed carelessly.
"The Joke of It I" he said, Tn

fellow who pretended be got In at

I remarked.
Mile. Flossie looked at blm warning
ly and dropped her voice.
"Better be careful!" she whispered.
"They say she's a spy!"
"On my track very likely," he de
clared, with a grin.
She threw herself back In her seat
ana lauguea.
"Concel ted ! Why should anyone want
to be on your track? Come and see me
dance at the Comlque tomorrow night."
"Can't," he declared. "My sister's
coming over from England."
"Stupid!"
"Oh, I'll come one night,!' he de
clared. "Order some coffee, won't you?
And what liqueurs?"
"I'll go and fetch my friends," she
declared, rising. "We'll all have coffee
together."
"Who nre they?" he asked.
She pointed to a little group down
the room, two men and a woman. The
men were French, one mlddlo aged and
one young, dark, Immaculate and with
the slightly bored air affected by the
young Frenchmen of fashion. The wo
man was strikingly handsome and
magnificently dressed. They were
quite the most distinguished looking
people In the room.
"If you think they'll come," be re
marked doubtfully. "Aren't we rather
comfortable as we are?"
She made her way between the ta
bles. "Ob, they'll come," she declared.
"They're pals."
She floated down the room with a
cigarette In her mouth, very graceful
In her airy muslin skirts and large
hat. Guy followed her admiringly with
bis eyes. The Viennese lady suddenly
tore off a corner of her menu and scrib
bled something quickly. She passed it
over to Guy.
"Read!" she said Imperatively.
He nodded and opened it.
"Prenez garde," he said slowly; then
be looked at her and shook bis head.
She was making signs to blm to de
stroy ber message, and be at once
did so.
"Don't understand," he said. "Sorry."
Mile. Flossie was laughing and talk
ing with her friends. Presently they
rose and came across the room with
her. Guy stood up and bowed. Tbe
Introductions were Informal, but he
felt bis Insular prejudices a little shat
tered by tbe delightful ease with which
these two Frenchmen accepted the sit
uation. Their breeding was as obvi
ous as their bonhomie. The table was
speedily rearranged to find places for
them all.
"Your friends will take coffee with
me, mademoiselle," Guy said. "Do be
hostess, please. My attempts at French
will only amuse everybody."
The elder of the two Frenchmen,
whom the waiter addressed as M. le
Baron and every one else as Louis,
held up his band.
"With pleasure," be declared, "later
on. Just now it is too early. We will
celebrate l'entente cordiale. Garcon, a
magnum of Pommery, un neu frape.
I know you will forgive the liberty,"
be said, smiling at Guy. "This bottle
Is vowed. Flossie has smiled for tbe
first time for three evenings."
She threw a paper fan at him and
sat down again by Guy.
"Do tell him the story you told me."
she whispered In bis ear. "Louis, lis
ten!" Guy retold bis story. M. le Baron
listened intently. So did the lady wbo
bad accompanied him. Guy felt that
be told it very well, but for the second
time he omitted all mention of that
missing sheet of paper which bad come
Into his possession. II. le Baron was
obviously much Interested.
"You are quite sure of the two
men?" be asked quietly.
"Quite!" Guy answered confidently.
"One was"
Madame-Flossie's frlehd-dropped
wineglass. M. to Baroa raised bis
band.
"No names,"- be said. "It Is better

Tbe wine was good, and tbe fun of
the place. Itself went almost to tbe
bead. Always there were newcomers
wbo passed down tbe room amid a
chorus of greetings, always tbe gayest
of music. - Then, amid cheers, Flossie

CHAPTER III.
M
ADEMOISELLE," said the
young man, with an air
of somewhat weary po
liteness. "I regret to say
that there is nothing more to de done."
He was grieved and polite because
mademoiselle was beautiful and la
trouble. For the rest, be was a little
tired of ber. Brothers of twenty-one
wbo have never been In Paris before
and cannot speak tbe language must
occasionally get lost, and the BrttUa
embassy was not exactly a transported
Scotland Yard.
"Then," sbe declared, with a vigor
ous little stamp of ber shapely foot;
"I don't see what we keep an ambas
sador here for at all or any of you. It
Is scandalous!"
The . Hon. Nigel Fergusson dropped
his eyeglass and surveyed tbe young
lady attentively. '
"My dear Miss Poynton," be said, "I
will not presume to argue with you.
We are here, I suppose, for some pur
pose or other. Whether we fulfill It or
not may well be a matter of opinion.
But that purpose Is certainly not to
look after any young Idiot you must
excuse my speaking plainly wbo runs
amuck In this most fascinating city.
In your case tbe chief bas gone out of
his way to belp you. He bas Inter
viewed the chief of tbe police himself,
brought bis Influence to bear In vari
ous quarters, and, I can tell you con
sclentlously'that everything which pos
sibly can be done is being done at tb
present moment. If you wish for my
advice It Is this: Send for some friend
to keep you company here and try to
be patient You are In all probability
making yourself needlessly miserable."
Sbe looked at blm a little reproach
fully. He noticed, however, with se
cret joy tbat she was drawing on ber
gloves.
"Patient! He was to meet me her
ten days ago. He arrived at tbe hotel.
His clothes are all there and his bill
unpaid. He went out tbe night of bis
arrival and has never returned. Pa
tient! Well, I am much obliged to you,
Mr. Fergusson. I have no doubt tbat
you have done all tbat your duty re
quired. Good afternoon!"
"Good afternoon. Miss Poynton, and
don't be too despondent Remember
that the French police are tbe cleverest
In the world, and they are working for
you!" -
She looked up at blm scornfully.
"Police, indeed!" she answered. "Do
you know tbat all they have done so
far is to keep sending for me to go
and look at dead bodies down at the
morgue? I think tbat I shall send over
for an English detective."
"You might do worse," he answered,
"but In any case. Miss Poynton, I do
hope that you will send over for soma
friend or relation to keep you com
pany. Paris Is scarcely a lit place for
you to be alone and In trouble."
"Thank you," sbe said. "I will re
member what you have said."
. The young man watched ber depart
with a curious mixture of relief and
regret .
"The young fool's been tbo usual
round, I suppose, and bo's oKbor too
much ashamed of himself or too be
sotted to turn up. I wish sbo wasn't
quite so devilish good looking," ho re
marked to himself. "If sbe goes about
alone she'll get badly scared before
She's finished."
Phyllis Poynton drove straight back
to ber hotel and went to ber room.
A sympathetic chambermaid followed
ber In.
"Mademoiselle bas news yet of ber
brother?" she Inquired.
Mademoiselle snook ber bead. In
deed ber face was sufficient answer.
"None st all, Marie."
Tbe chambermaid closed tbe door.
"It would belp mademols.il. per

tlemen spent tbo evening before ho
disappeared?" She Inquired mysteri
ously. s . .
"Of coarse! That to Just what X
want to And out"
Mario smiled.
"There Is a young man ber In tb

Washington, Apr. 20, 1907.
With the fight in Chio fairly
started, it is only natural that the
people who have become used to
something doing every minute
should be looking for fresh develop
ments. They are likely, to come in
the figjjt for the presidential nomi
nation and come frequently. One
of the next things that is expected
is a show of hands in the south.
There have been number of confer
ences st the White Houtoe recently
with influential men from the south
and it is thought that the President
will try to win tbe support of the
negro vote now strongly ' inclining
to Foraker.. Of course the white
vote of the south will not figure
largely in the state primaries for the
Republican nomination, and it is
said that the outlook for the Presi
dent among the colored voters is
not so bright as it might be. For
instance, Judson Lyons of Georgia,
former register of the Treasury, is
supposed to be able to swing the
Georgia delegation, and he is be
lieved to be for Foraker or Fairbanks
or anything to beat the president's
choice. There will be a strong ef
fort made to line up some of the
southern states for President Roose
velt's nominee, but the out look
just now is none too blight and if
there is anything done it will need
to be done quite speedily.
Charley Conant, an old news
paper man and now 'a statistician
and financial writer of recongnized
standing, called at the White House
to pay his respects to tbe President
this week. He is just back from
Cuba and he explained the situa
tion as it appeared to.him. He
says that both the local and the
foreign governments are loath to see
the United States let go of the is
land for purely practical reasons.
Much money is needed for tbe sugar
erop on which the prosperity of tbe
island depends. Tbe banks are
perfectly willing to lend money on
the crop so long as conditions are
stable. But they are not willing to
raise a loan if there is danger of a
revolutionary outbreak while the
money is still tied up in tbe crop.
Everybody knows there is not going
to be any revolution so long as tbe
United States is in charge of the is
land, -and so everyone is anxious
for this government to keep hold
till after the crop is harvested.
And then they will want us to do
the same kind office till tbe next
crop is harvested and so it will go.
This government does not want a
perpetual job of lid-sitting in Cuba.
But it looks as though it were going
to be very bard to let go.
Plans are continually being made
to futher immigration to tbe south,
and one of the latest bas been laid
before the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor oy Cha. Allen, of Evans
ville, Ind. Mr. Allen is a Urge
landholder in tEe south and he
wants to import a lot of foreign farm
laborers with thennderstaoding that
they shall farm his plantations on
tharea. Tbe scheme is legitimate
enougb andifitooudbe followed
thera are doubtless many other
southern planters wbo would be
glad to make contracts abroad to
have their farms worked on the
iam conditions. But it looks as
though th alien contract labor law
would be Fa tho way of this scheme
and tbo matter, after being consider
ed br Immigration Commissioner
Frank Sargent, baa bees kid said
to be reJsrrad to Secretary Strauss
on bat return from ths Peace Con
ference ia New York,
Quito little excitement was
caused aaaoog lb coaee poo dents
one night this week byth report
that E. H. Harriman was making a
harry up trip to Waahinttoa from
New York. Tb immediate conclu
sion wu that thr was something
big doing in tb railroad situation.
Several of the New York oorraspoa
dents received wires from their
home offices that Harrimaa was fly
inc to Washing by special train and
to catch him and Interview him at
all floats. Tb information was true
enough, but Kr. Harrimaa alighted
from his private car ooLsid th de
pot and dror up town on his mys
terious emod. Newspaper Row
was turned apaid down for a while
ia aa endeavor to locate him and
it was not till tbe email boors of the
morning tbat it was discovered be
hadbeeo baraleauly attending; a
dinner of the Academy of Sdcooes
at th horn of Cbas. D. Walcott,
Secretary of tb Smithsonian Insti
tution. . It seems that Mr. Ham
man and ill. WalcoU are old friends
and he asked . for an invitation to
the dinner some weeks ago. Of
course it was given, and he jumped
in his private cir and came down to
Washington to attend it, returning
in the same way to New York long
after midnight. He had spent the
evening very innocently silting be
tween a Doctor of Philosophy of
Johns Hopkins and a professor of
Harvard. But it was hard to make
the newspaper men believe any
thing Harriman could do was
harmless.
Speaking of the Academy of Sci
ences, this is the premier scientific
institution of the United Slates,
and it meets annually in Washing
ton. Tbe session it has been hold
ing this week was important in
that Prof. Alexander Agassiz of Har
vard who has been the President of
the sooiety for five years, resigned
and there was elected in his place
Prof. Ira Rerasen of Johns Hopkins
University, Baltimore, who is the
foremost chemist of the country.
Cbas. D. Walcott was elected to the
vacancy in tho vice presidency
caused by the promotion of Prof.
Remsen.
There has been a little breeze in
diplomatic circles, this week over
the revocation of the exequatur of
vice consul Ekeretrom representa
tive of Sweden in St. Louis. It is
not often that the United States asks
for the recall . of a consul but Mr.
Ekeretrom had been mixed up in a
fight with tbe Postoffice Department
over a publishing company in St.
Louis tbat had been barred from
the use of the mails. It was not a
thing in which a foreign consul
would usually be involved, but Mr.
Ekeretrom had not only engaged in
the fight but had wiitten a letter to
the President attacking ex-postmaster
General Cortelyou. His re
call was therefore asked lor and he
has been spending all of this week
in Washington trying to explain to
the State Department how sorry he
was. His apology has been taken
under advisement by Secretary Root
but no decision in the case bas yet
been announced and it is likely that
he will be made an example of as a
warning to foreign officials to let our
internal affairs alone.

arm. "The strength seemed to have
gone out of the mucles to that it
was useless for work," ne ey. i

and wrapped the arm in flannel at
night, ana to my relief I found that
the pain gradually left me and the
strength returned. In three weeks
the rheumatism had disappeared
and has not since returned. If

applications of Pain Balm. You
are certain to be pleased with the
relief which it affords. For sale by
