CHAPTER vnr
r
HE amber wine fell In a little
wavering stream from his up
raised glass on to the table
cloth below. He lpfinml h.nnlr
in his chair and gazed at bis three
guests with a fatuous Bmile. The girl
in blue, with the dazzllngly fair hair
and wonderful complexion, steadied
his hand and exchanged a meaning
look with the man who sat opposite.
Surely the poor fool was ready for the
plucking? But madame, who sat be
side her, frowned upon them both.
She had seen things which had puzzled
her. She signed to them to wait.
She leaned over and flashed her
great black eyes upon him.
".Monsieur enjoys himself like this
every night in Paris?"
A soft, a very seductive, voice. The
women who envied her success com
pared It to the purring of a cat Men
as a rule found no fault with it, espe
cially those who heard It for the first
time.
Duncombe set down his glass, now
almost empty. lie looked from the
stain on tho tablecloth into the eyes
of madame, and again she thought
them very unlike the eyes of a drunken
man.
"Why not? It's the one city in the
world to enjoy oneself In. Halt past
4, and here we are as Jolly as any
thing. Chucked out of everywhere in
London at half past 12. 'Time, gen
tlemen, please!' And out go the lights.
Jove, I wonder what they'd think of
this at the Continental! Let's let's
have another bottle."
Thft fnlr linlrwl irtrl Flossie rn lirr
friends. Mile. Mermilllon until you had
been introduced whispered in his ear.
He shook his head vaguely. She had
her arm round his neck. He removed
it gently;
"We'll have another here first any
how," ho declared. "HI, gareon! Ring
the bell, there's a good chap, monsieur
dash it, 1 ve forgotten your name!
Xo. don't move. I'll do it mvself."
He rose nnd staggered toward the
door.
"The bell isn't that way, monsieur,
madame exclaimed. "It Is to the
right. Louis, quick!"
M. Louis sprang to his feet. There
was a aueer grating little sound, fol
lnwl liv n sham click. Duncombe
had swung round and faced them. He
had turned the key in the door and
was calmly pocketing it.
M. Louis did not move. The hand
which held that small, shining revolver
was certainly not the hand of a drunk
en man.
They all three looked at him In won
der madame. M. Louis and Mile. Flos
le. The dark eyebrows of madame
almost met, and ber eyes were full of
the nromise of evil things. M. Louis.
..CQW.erlug back from that steadily
pointed revolver,' was ' white "wltU ' the
Inherited cowardice of the degenerate.
Flossie, who bad drunk more wine
than any of them, was trying to look
na tlinueh It were a ioke. Duncombe,
with his disordered evening clothes, bis
stained shirt front and errant tie, was
master of the situation. He came and
stood a few feet away from them. Hl
blundering French accent ana slow
choice of words had departed.' He
spoke to them without hesitation, and
his French was almost as good as tneir
avd.
"I want you to keep your places," he
said, "and listen to me ror a iew nun
ntL I can assure you I am neither
mad nor drunk. I hava a few ques
tions to ask you, and if your answers
are satisfactory you may yet nnd my

M.. Louis, who had half risen, sat
down again hastily. Tbey ail watcnea
him from their places around tho ta

the Jet black hair and golden earrings,
the pale cheeks and scarlet lips.
"I Invited you Into a private room
here." he said, "because what I nave
to asy to you three Is between our
selves alone. Too came, i presuww,
because It promised to bo profitable.
All that I want from you Is Informa

IL Louis Interposed. He stroked his
little black mustache with a much be
ringed band. With tbe other ha gestic

"Five thousand francs!" madame
murmured.
Mile. Flossie said nothing, but ber
eyes shone.
"The question, monsieur?"
"What has become of Mile. Phyllis
Poynton, the young English lady?"
The eyes of madame seemed to nar
row for a moment. M. Louis lit a
cigarette with fingers which shook a
little, and the fair face of Mile. Flos
sie was suddenly white. Then they
all three looked at one another.
"Do you know whom monsieur may

"Not I!"
"An English girl

"Mile. Poynton! It Is a name un

The young Englishman smiled upon

Now, I have at least half a dozen
friends In the cafe below whom I could
summon here by touching that bell,
and the Identification of those notes
would bo a perfectly simple matter.
Shall I do It, or will you earn another
roll by giving me the Information I
seek?"
Madame loaned forward and whis
pered in the man's ear. M. Louis nod
ded. "Tell him," Mile. Flossie murmured
tremulously. "Monsieur will not break
faith with os. H will not let It ba
known from whence he gained ths

"Agreed!" the young Englishman ae-
clared. "Goon."
Madame held op ber band.

It was to convert us all. M. Alfred
declared that he would arrange to nave

perhaps that the young lady was an

The question was flashed suddenly,
upon him as though the Intention was
to take him by surprise. Duncombe,
however, remained unmoved.
"I am here, madame, to ask, not to
answer, questions," be said. "Will
you kindly proceed? I am greatly in
terested."
Madame put her band to ber throat
for a moment as though to loosen ber
necklace. She bad not the appearance
of being greatly In love with her ques
tioner. . ,
"There came a night," she continued,
"when mademoiselle broke through ber
rule. A man came In and sat at ber
table. His name was the Vlcomte
D'Aubarde, and be was known to
most of us, though to the young lady
he appeared to be a stranger. They
talked earnestly for an hour or more,
When she left, he accompanied her!"
The Englishman bad grown paler.
Madame saw It and smiled. Her lover
perhaps! It was good to make him
sqffer.
'Flossie here," she continued, "was
outside and saw them depart They
drove off together In the vlcomte's
coupe. They were apparently on the
best of terms. Since then we have not
seen her again or the vlcomte.' Mon
sieur knows now as much as we
know."
'And bow long ago Is that?" Dun
combe asked quietly.
"A week tonight," madame replied.
Duncombe laid down a roll of notes
upon the table.
'I . wish," he said, "to prove to you
that I am In earnest I am therefore
going to pay you the amount I prom
ised, although I am perfectly well
aware that the story of madame le

"Monsieur!"
"As I remarked," he repeated, "false.
Now listen to me. I want to tempt

through this thieves' compact of yours.
I have paid a thousand francs for lies.
I will pay 10,000 franca for truth I
Ten thousand francs for the present

Mile. Flossie looked up at him quick
ly; then she glanced furtively at ma
dame, and the flash of madame'a eyes
was like lightning upon blue steel.
Duncombe moved toward the door.
"I will pay the bill downstairs," he
said. "Good night Think over what
I have said. Ten thousand francs!"
M. Louis stood up and bowed stiffly.
Mile. Flossie ventured to throw blm
kiss. Madame smiled Inscrutably.
The door closed. They heard bim
go downstairs. Madame picked up bis
card and read aloud:
'Sir George Duncombe, Bisley Hall.
Norfolk. Grand Hotel, Paris."
"It one could only," madame mur
mured, "tell him the truth, collect the
money and"
"And," Flossie murmured, half fear
fully.
M. le Baron smiled.
CHAPTER IX.
MLLB. MERMILLIUN was BOt
warmly welcomed at the
Grand hotel. The porter be
lieved that Sir George Dun
combe was out Ha would Inquire If
mademoiselle would wait, but be did
not usher ber Into the drawing room',
as would have been bis duty In sn
ordinary case, or even ask ber to take
a seat.
Mile. Mermilllon was of the order of
young person who resents, but this sft
ernoon she waa far too nervous. Dur
ing the porter's temporary absence she
started at every footstep and scruti
nised anxiously every passerby. Often
she looked behind ber through the glass
doors Into the street When at last
be reappeared - alone ber disappoint
ment was obvious.
"Sir George Duncombe le out made
moiselle," be announced. "Will you
be pleased to leave a message or your
name?"
"You do not know bow long be will
be?" she Inquired.
"Sir George left no word," the man
answered. "He has been out since
before dejeuner."
Mademoiselle decided to leave a note.
The porter supplied ber with Bote pa

glanced around. Convinced that she

He seemed aa far off the trath as ever.
He opened the note which the porter

Doneombe drear a Ittle sigh of re-
lief. At last, then, be was to know
something. He waa very English, a
bad amateur detective and very weary
of bis task. Nothing but his Intense
Interest in the girl herself an Interest
which seemed to have upset the whole
tenor of his life would have kept blm
here plodding so relentlessly away at
a task which seemed dally to present
more difficulties and complications.
Yet so absorbed bad be become that
the ordinary duties and pleasures
which made up the routine of his life
scarcely ever even entered Into his
mind. There had been men coming
down to shoot whom In sn ordinary
way be would not hare dreamed of
putting off, a cricket match which had
been postponed until his return and
which he bad completely forgotten.
Paris bad nothing in the shape of
amusement to offer him in place of
these things, yet in bis own mind these
things were as they bad not been. Ev
ery interest and every energy of hla
life were concentrated upon the one
simple object of bis search.
He gave the man half a crown and
walked to the lift whistling. The por
ter shook bis head, and Duncombe re
ceded considerably In his estimation
notwithstanding the tip. He consid
ered Mile. Flossie a little obvious for
a gentleman of Duncombe e class.
Duncombe treated himself to a cock
tall and a cigarette as be changed bis
clothes. It was positively the first
gleam of hope he bad bad. And then
suddenly he remembered Spencer's
warning, and be became grave.
He waa at the Cafe Sylvaln early.
He ordered dinner, gave elaborate in-
atructiona about a young lady when
aha arrived and with a glass of ab
sinth and another cigarette sat down
to wait At a quarter to 8 be began
to get restless. He summoned the
waiter again and gave a more detailed
description of Mile. Flossie. The wait
er waa regretful, but positive. No
young lady of any description bad ar
rived expecting to meet a gentleman
In a private room. Duncombe tried
him with ber name. But yes, Mile.
Mermilllon was exceedingly well known
there. He would giro orders that she
should be shown up Immediately she
arrived. It would be soon without
doubt
At a quarter past 8 Duncombe dined
alone, too disappointed to resent the
waiter's sympathetic attitude. At 9
o'clock he returned to the hotel on
the chance that a message might have
been sent there. He resd the English
newspapers and wrote letters until
midnight Then be ordered a carriage
and drove to the Cafe Montmartre.
He mounted the stairs snd passed
through the little bar which led Into
the supper room. M. Alfred came for
ward, with a low bow.
"You can And me s table, I suppose 7'
Duncombe remarked, looking round.
'Where shall I sltr
M. Alfred shook bis bead slowly.
His hands were outstretched, bis man
ner sad, but resigned.
"I am very sorry, monsieur, but to
night every place la taken. I have bad
to turn others away already," be de
clared. "A thousand regrets."
Duncombe looked st blm astonished.
The place waa more than half empty.
"Surely you can nnd me a small ta
ble somewhere," be said., "I was here
last evening, you know. If It la be
cause I am alone I win oraer supper
for two and magnum of wine."
M. Alfred waa Immovable. He re
membered Duncombe wail, and be waa
proud of bis patronage, but tonight It
was impossible to orrer - mm a utuie.
Duncombe began to be annoyed.
"Very well," be said; "I will stay In
the bsr. Yon can't turn me out of
there, can youT"
M. Alfred was evasive. He desired
M. Duncombe to be amused, and the
people who remained In the bar wall.
It was not possible to get rid of tbem,
but they were not fitting company for
bim.
"There Is the Cafe Maiarin," be add
ed confidentially, "a few steps only
from bare, a most amusing place. The
most wonderful ladles there, too very
chic snd crowded every night Mon
sieur should really try It The com
missionaire would direct him a few
f srds only."
"Much obliged to 700," Duncombe
answered, taming on his heeL "I ma
look In there preeently."
He seated himself at a small round
table and ordered a drink. The people
here were of a slightly different class
from those who had the entree to the
sapper room snd were mostly crowded
round the bar Itself. At a small deek
within a few feet of him a middle aged
woman with a cold, hard face sat, with
a book of accoonts before her sad a
pile of bills. There was something si
most sphlnxltke about her appearance.
She aerer spoke. Her ex press loo Borer

Once she waved tiie men and girls who
stood talking to her on one side, and
Duncombe fancied that It was because
She desired a better view of him.
Suddenly lie was startled by a voice
close at haud. He lo.)keJ up. The wo
man at the uejk was speaking to him.
"Monsieur would be well advised,"
she said, "if be departe:l."
Duncombe looked m her lu amaze
ment She was writing rapidly In ber
book, and li'-r eyuj were fixed upon her
work. If he hud not actually beard her
it would have l)vn hard to believe that
she had spoken.
"But why, mndaine?" be asked.
"Why should I go? I am in uo one's
way. I can pay for what I have."
She dipped her ien in the ink.
"I know nothing of monsieur or of bis
business," sho said, still without even
glancing toward bim, "but I know that
M. Alfred does not wish blm to re
main." "The devil take M. Alfred!" Dun
combe answered angrily. "I am wait
ing to speak to some ono who comes
here regularly, and I shall stay until
they come."
The woman wrote steadily for a mo
ment. Then she blotted the page on
which she had been writing and, rais
ing ber head, looked at him.
"It Is no affair of mine," she said,
"but M. Alfred has sent for tho police

DAIRY WISDOM.
It takes a llttlo more to rig up a
dairy with scales to weigh Individual
messes and a Babcock tester to find
out If each cow la doing ber share,
but the returns more than overbalance
the extra outlay. No man Is willing
to keep s cow after be knows she Is
not making a profit, but he never can
find out until be goes st It In s prac
tical manner.
Get thoroughbred cows, then give
them thoroughbred care, says the Farm
Press. The one Is Just aa Important
as the other. Thoroughbred cows re
quire more Individual attention, but
they are willing to pay for It
Never churn In a cold room. The
butter will be cbeesy If yon do. The
churning room should be about the
temperature of the cream.
Because the cow falls off in milk It
does not always follow that she Is sick.
There may be something wrong with
ber feed. Look Into that Often it Is
the man and not the cow at all.
The best cows, as s rule, bsre the
most sensitive udders, and barsb treat
ment Is the very last thing to practice.
Any harshness will cause an Increase
of nervousness and a decrease In the
milk flow.
Eight good cows warrant a silo and
a separator. Eight poor cows warrant
a sale at a sacrifice.
Following Is the lesson of the gilt
edge milk farm: Get the best cows,
feed tbem well and keep them healthy.
Have the milk pure and clean. Put It
up attractively and take It to the
Choicest retail trade you can find. The
reward ta sure.
Hare a fixed time to begin feeding
and milking both morning and even
ing. Thla la Important. When a cow
expects ber . feed . and. .doesn't . get. . It,
she Is restless and worried, and scy
thing which annoys her lessens ber
milk production.
His cows were senilis, bis food was
scrimped, snd bis care was scant No
wonder bis dairy farm didn't pay.
Some large, coarse framed cows seem
to be profitable until you measure
What tbey eat When you look at the
milk pail, don't forget lo weigh the
hay and grain consumed.
Tbe amount to feed depends upon
the characteristic of the cow and tbe
smount of milk aba la giving.
It la a very poor cow that will not
respond to good care, generous feeding
and comfortable surroundings.
Tbe best cure for a kicking cow Is to
Snd wby she kicks, then find tbe rem
edy. A cow will kirk from s hurt or t
sudden fright
Keep milk snd cream where bo bad
smells can get to tbem. A good stone
Jar with cIjsc fitting lid is a good
thing In which to store cream.
Feed a good milker a balanced ra
tion. She deserves It

The Successful Dairyman Weeds Out
ths Unprofitable Cows.
Many dairymen are losing theji
rightful profits because tbey hav0
some cows that are costing more than
tbey produce, and these eat up' thj
profits of others. Too much cannot tx)
said about the importance, of weeding
out unprofitable cows, but too often. wd
overlook the fnct that they aro unprof
itable because tbey are not well fed
nnd cared for. With high priced feeds
and labor a short sighted man is liable
to cut down these expenses beyond
economy.
It Is no exaggeration to say that
there are thousands of cows now main
tained at a loss that would be giving a
profit if allowed a fair chance. Pro
fessor Wing and Mr. Foord of the
Cornell experiment station have clearly
illustrated this point. Ten cows owned
by a dairyman living near tho station
were included in an experiment which
lasted for a period of four years. Tho
first year the herd was visited regular
ly on Its home farm, and careful rec
ords were made of food consumed and
milk fat produced. The cows wero
then taken to the university farm and
given good rare and abundant and
good feed.
Inereass Shown.
This treatment continued two years,
when the cows wero returned to their
old home and again received tho care
and feed that tbey bad bad before
coming to the university farm. The
first year at tho university showed an
average Increaso of 46 per cent In
milk yield, or 55 per cent In fat yield.
The large production was continued
throughout the second year at the uni
versity, but it fell back to about tho
original amount when tho cows wero
returned to their former homo, care
and feed. After the cows bad become
accustomed to fair treatment at tho
university they gave milk and fat at
lower teed cost than they bad done be
fore, when tho total cost of feed was
less. In othor words, tho average food
cost ofc, a iiound of fat fell from 12
cents nt the home fnnn to 10 cents at
the university. In tho case of one cow
It foil from 11 cents to 0 cents.
Tbcw ten cows wero not "elected,
lint were taken nt random, and a study
of their Individual records shows S
surprising uniformity of gain due to
good treatment Tho exjieriiiioiit points
the way by which many dairymen
could change losses to gain. Blmilar

Chaining the Child.
She may have been cither a wick
ed litllo girl or simply one of those
children who , refuse absolutely to
"stay put," but whatever her ail
ment ncr mother certainly mado
enough of a parade of it. The pair
wero strolling slung the other after
noon, and around tho left wrist of
the child was a stout log collar of
leather, to which was fastened a
heavy chain of steel links, tbe end
of which was held flnnly in the
mother's right hand. The chaining
might hsve been done in all kind
ness, but the effect on the passing
throng was to arouse a keen sense
of pity for the child. New York
