The Count
By T. W. WYNDHAM
CapjrriSht. 190 by American Praia Aeao
elation
EN we returned from our Bum
mer holiday last year we felt
that we had spent It to great
advantage. Besides the enjoy
ment we had derived from a trip to
ITrance, we secured the acquaintance
ship I might say the friendship of
the count This fact acted1 like a match
applied to the touchwood of local es
teem. But I must explain.
Every year about the end of July,
when Pawtucket begins to pall upon
ub, we broach the subject of "going
away" to papa. He always makes the
same scene and says the same things
namely, business has been so bad and
he's not going away; we've got a gar
den and might almost Imagine our
selves in the country; whafs good
enough for him Is good enough for ua
Then, having let off steam, as my
brother Jim calls it, while we sit
around patiently, he quiets down, and
we make plans as to where we shall
go.
It was arranged on this occasion thai
we should forsake Lakewood and the
Adlrondacks and our other favorite
haunts and go to Boulogne, In Franca
The fact was that Mr. Kay hud met
papa In the city and had bragged so
much about "taking his family to Eu
rope" that papa had on the spur of
the moment declared that he had the
same plan In view. The Kays live
opposite us and consider themselves

"It will rub up the girls' Trench and
jrfve us all r. thorough change of scene,
Maria," he said to mamma. "I quite
long to "parley-voo' again and to taste
some of those de-llclous little French
dishes. Ah! I tell you, traveling en
lances the mind."
And he went off to smoke In high
rood humor.
We were recommended to a boarding
house by the Kays. They assured us
that "only the best people will fx
found there. We've often stayed there
ourselves."
Wa ensssed rooms and after a borrl
Me crossing arrived at our destination.
The "pensr-n' was rather dingy and
unprepossessing, and the "best peo
nle" were certainly very dull. They
were mostly English, and they steadily
avoided one another. If it bad not
been for a bright little Frenchwoman
and her husband It would have been
deadly, bat we went about with them
n th first few days, and then the
mtimnt fame.
The whole place was in a flutter of
excitement and we were simpiy long
ing for the evening meal, when, as out

very fttondy;
iKims, una ne spoke English very
well, so wc bndn't to trouble about
French. I must ndd that, though papa
ima been bo anxious to "parley-voo"
again while we were still at Paw
tucket, yet he never let us hear any of
It. He always sent us on In front
when he had to speak to a native.
Boulogne wns quite a different place
to us from the day the count came.
He wns our constant companion, and
it was delightful to go about with a
real live nobleman. We used to say
count" especially loud when we pass
ed tngllsli people. It made them "sit
up," as Jim said. It was a pity the
count was so poor papa always had
to pay for him but he used to apolo
gize In such a charming way and bring
us bunches of flowers (the flowers ar
ranged in rows, with a glorified dish
paper round them) and say: "I wlsli I
could lay the treasure of the east at
your feet, mademoiselles. Uelns, the
gift is poor, but it is rich with thoughts
of esteem and regard!" with more in
the game strain, which Laura thought
perfectly lovely. It was rather too
poetical for me. The count told us
that the reason be was so poor was
that his estates were confiscated owing
to the part his ancestors had played in
some revolution or war, but be had a
lawsuit on to recover them. He show
ed us photos of them, and they cer
tainly looked beautiful.
I never saw papa so generous before.
We were always driving or going for
excursions. However, I heard him say
to mamma after a certain very heavy
lunch bill, "After all, one doesn't meet
a count every day."
1 had noticed his attentions to Laura,
and I knew which way the wind blew.
But papa grew more and more en
thusiastic as our friendship ripened.
Ho used to dilate on the count's
charming manners when we were
alone.
"That's the advantage of associating
with the aristocracy," he would say.
"I'm a plain man myself, but 1 respect
blood. Nobility of birth produces no
bility of character and manners.
Which sounded beautiful and made
Laura blush.
Mamma alsb took a violent fancy to
him. He spoke so feelingly, she said
of his mother, who was dead, and of
marriage and a man's duty to woman
And Laura blushed still more.
We were very sorry when our stay
at Boulogne came to an end, for we
feared our friendship with the count
might end too. But he said ho was
coming over to "the States" 'on busi
ness (he looked at Laura as he nnld
It), and he hoped that ho would be
permitted to visit one of America's
merchant princes In his home. You
should bnve seen papa's face when he
heard himself described as a merchant
prince! Of 'urse wo said we should
be delighted to see him, and we parted
with many expressions or mutual re
gret. I dou't know what he said to
Laura as we walked to the station
tho morning we left, but I do know
that he held ber hand much longer
than was necessary, although I pre
tnnrlprl to "ook the other way. She
was very ullent'and pensive on the
home Journey, and papa and mamma
exchanged knowing nods. I knew
mamma was picturing to herself the
sensation it would cause in the nelgn
borhood if her daughter were to be
come a lady of title. I also felt I
would be distinctly pleasant to spea
in an offhand way of "my sister the
Countess de Marabout" I wasn't the
least bit Jealous of ber triumph, be
cause I really prefer Americans tc
foreigners, counts though they ma
be. There's a young man in the Paw
tucket National bank-well, but that
has nothing to do with the count.
The return Journey did not seem as
"flat" as usual since we bad the count'i

misgivings, however, by protests tha
undying affection like his rendered dif

she consented, and her parents gav
her a handsome dowry, for her hus
band was poor in worldly goods. Ho
gave out however, that "love in a cot
tage" was his Ideal. She had a rude
awakening. Her husband ran through
all her money In a year, then 111 treat
ed her and finally deserted her when
she refused to ask her parents for
more. Just as she had reached thl
point of the story I broke In upon It
I had been watering the plants in the
drawing room when, to my surprise
and alarm, I saw the count walking up
the path which leads to our front door.
You could have knocked mo down
with a feather, as tho saying goes,
flew down the passage to Laura, for I
knew she would wish to change her
froc. At first she looked a llttio cross
at the Interruption, but when 1 whis
pered who was there she colored up
with pleasure and managed to rush
upstairs before the front door was
opened.
We felt so vexed that we had been
taken by surprise In that way, but wo
had not expected to see him so soon.
He must have followed us on the next
boat The best tea service wasn't out
the flowers in the drawing room were
faded, and we hadn't our new blouses
after all. Still, things always do hap
pen "contrariwise," and It didn't really
matter, for the count was Just as
charming and amiable.
He professed himself charmed with
our bouse, and bis compliments were
Just as flowery. While we were at
tea young Peters, a great admirer of
Laura's, came In, and the count looked
quite Jealous when he called Laura
by ber name. I must say that Peters
didn't seem quite at his ease In tho
presence of a no-
bleman and ap
peared rather
suspicious of our
familiarity with
him. Tho ell
max of our tri
umph, however,
was when Ethel
Kay came in.
When we intro
duced her to the
count she seem
ed undecided
whether she
should make a
courtesy, and sho
was quite sub
dued and meek
during the whole
of her visit
When the count
"LmimUengaacdto addressed a re-
OT mark to her she
colored up and grew bo confused that
she could hardly answer. It was de
lightful to Ik able to show her bow
coolly and unconcernedly we treuted
aristocracy.
For thu next few days we saw as
much of the count as we did In Bou
logne, and the Kays fairly writhed
when they saw bow attentive be was
to Laura. Mrs. Kay swept our dining
room all day long with her opera
glasses and sent the two girls in at
all hours of the day with trivia mes
sages, but It was of no avail. On the
fifth day after bis arrival the count
who was boarding near us, sent s
note round to papa, and in the even
ing he came and was shut up with
papa for a long while In bis study.
Then Laura was summoned, end mam
ma and I were on tenterhooks till
papa burst Into the room, very red in
the face and excited, and exclaimed:
"Laura Is engaged to the count!"
We quite expected It and still we
were very excited. A titled eon and
brother in law waa beyond our wildest
dreams!
Papa said the count had spoken so
beautifully when be asked for Laura's
band. He had compared woman to
the tender frrn.. which man, the strong
forest tree, most shelter and protect
from the storms of the world. He
would be able, be said, to surround ber
with tuxnrles fit for s princess when
the lawsuit should be decided in his
favor. Meanwhile they would live the
happiest of lives on the princely allow
ance which his "liberal and dear fu
ture papa" had decided to confer upou
them, from which I gather that papa
had, as Jim terms It "coogbed up" to
considerable amount. BU1L no on
could blame him for sacrificing some
thing to such an sUlaoce. After an
though I wouldn't own It to the
Kays papa need to serve In the store.
WelL the news didn't take joog to
travel round rawtocket and the next
day the papers were 4!lu wltn K,
and a bole beat of congratulatory
visitors poured In. We were the sen
sation of Pawtucket and it was an

What a College Qirl Can Do.
The college girl who lives in a small
town has perln.ps tho greatest power
for Influence. Her education and ex
perlence raise her to a position which
commands the respect of those others
who have not had her advantages, and
this position sho should use, not as an
excuse for ectlsm or self sufficiency,
but as a menus of accomplishing re
forms In the life of the community.
Starting a village improvement society
la an excellont way of Interesting peo
ple In their surroundings and opens
to many an entirely new world a
world which toadies that tho useful is
not necessarily the ugly and that en
vironment Is the inspiration of action.
Beautifying the village or town Is
bound to bring the citizens together
In a new and more Intimate assocla
tlon and does much to a I tolls h those
dens of vice which dlsllguru not only
the aspect, but tho moral life of
town.
Of course this Is but one phase of
civic improvement; there are many
others. In tho factory town especially
there Is a wldo scope for tho college
bred woman's activity. There Is no
reason why the factory town should
be unsightly or why the employees of
Ithe factory should live in ugly, In
sanitary dwellings; no reason why the
women of the town should not be
roused to Interest In their snrround
lngs and, above all, to self respect
The woman of education owes It to
her less fortunate sister to encourage
that fooling of self respect which lies
dormant In tho breasts of so many fac
tory women. Oivo tbom tho vision of
something broader and higher than
ls comprehended In their own horizon
and they will, try to conform their

OH THE WN5
OF THE STORM.
There Came a Change In Her
Views on the Question of Love.
By PHILIP KEAN.
Copyright, 1909, by Associated Literary
Preas.J
The manager of the Bear Lake stock
farm watched tbe storm from the win
dow of his bungalow. It was a typical
western hurricane, coming after a dry
spell, with pink lightning and tem
pestuous winds and the continuous
roll of thunder.
To the unaccuBtomcd-eye It was ter
rifying, but Alexander gazed undis
turbed. He was young and strong.
But something very like fear gripped
him now as be saw between the sway
ing trees a wrolthlike figure running
toward tbe bouse.
He went to tbe door and opened It
He dragged ber over tbe threshold a
little, gasping, frightened girt
"I'm so afraid," was all she could
say at first.
"How does tt happen that you are
out?" He put ber in a big chair by
the side of tho fireplace,' "It's so late
and such an awful night"
She looked at him with startled eyes
as she tried to pin up the thick brown
locks that bad fallen about hep shoul
ders. "I I was ruunlng away," she con
fessed. "Oh." Alexander said as he sat
down opposite ber. "You look .a bit
old for that I was nine when 1 de
cided to talie to cave dwelling and a
man Friday."
A dimple showed in the corner of ber
mouth. -But but I wasn't running
away to live In a cave. I was running
away to get married." "
"But" Alexander said presently.
"you you dou't look quite old enough
for that"
"I am eighteen," was the explana
tlon, "and be is twenty-one."
"Her murmured Alexander. "Where

Her lip quivered. "I think tbe storm
must have kept .him home. Son
wouldn't think a storm would matter
to u man, would you?"
"Not a, man who was going to marry
you," Alexander found himself say
ing. "Ob" the warmth In bis tone
brought n rosy flush to her face "of
coarse something may have kept turn."
"Where waa he to meet you?" Alex
ander asked.
"Over there by the church. We are
stopping at one of tbe cottages just
beyond.
"And when sou didn't find him
there you ran to tbe nearest house V
"I saw yonr light and ran toward
It"
"And now," he told ber, "If you are
rested a bit I'll take you home.'
"But I can't go backl" she cried.
"The door locks with ,a springy and 1
haven't a key.'
"Ye gods!" Alexander's brows were
knit
And then, because be could think of
nothing else to say, be asked, "Are you
hungry?"
"Starved." she Bald.
He brought out crackers sod cheese
and sardines snd olives and marma
